Shiro

The Masked and Blind Doragon'Neko with Arcane powers, Shiro is a Doragon'Neko and is the closest thing to a leader the wandering group known as the Fang Posse have, being decently level headed and mature, he's been through many hardships and tries to live through his life.

Appearance
He is a weird cat like beast, known as a Doragon'Neko, standing on four legs with a velvet purple texture, alongside various arcane markings, on top of a fair few scars and a skinnier, lanky build.

His lone accessory is a big grey mask, itself containing a few runes, which is the only thing allowing him to see, underneath it, his face is particularly disfigured given the tortures he's been through. One of his arms is also metallic, which grants him a few abilities of it's own.

Personality
For the most part he tries to be fairly calm and collected, not quite stoic but acts as a voice of reason for the group he travels with, which isn't saying that much but given how some of them are, he's the most grounded of the group.

That being said, deep down he's best described as a very troubled and uneasy individual, described as a mess of mental illnesses by Petra, the trials he's been through have done pretty terrible things to his sanity., nightmares of his time in captivity being a very common occurrence.

He feels lost and alone, sometimes unsure what could be real and what's his mind perceiving things differently, given the experiments and physical brain trauma he's went through, which also means he can sometimes be somewhat distant and skittish when encountering new faces. The only people he really trusts are his fellow Fang Posse misfits and the two guardians, Nera and Petra.

Among his dislikes is being called a cat, he's quick to remind those that he isn't a kitten, though given his appearance and feline like features, plenty make that mistake, either by accident or specifically to mess with him. Another way to incite his wrath is if he witnesses a creature enslaved or tortured, given what he's been through, he has every reason for this.

Abilities
His skillset consists of a control over arcane energies, being able to manipulate energy with his metallic arm, Most often is manipulating them with his powers, like moving semi heavy objects, though this requires a lot of concentration.

His other accessory is his metallic mask, grafted onto him as part of the twisted trials he's been through, apart from enabling him to see given how broken his face is, it also contributes to his control over arcane energies, alongside letting him read ancient runes relating to these energies. If the mask is removed from him in any way, then he is totally incapable of sight

Both of these accessories lead to him being the strongest of his four comrades, at least on paper, though his unstable nature means it's easy for him to become overwhelmed and lose control.

The experiments included attempting to give him mind reading powers as a means of communicating with the guardians and many creatures similar to it, however he is incapable of directly communicating via mental speech, he can hear thoughts but has little control over them.

Relationships

 * Glacies

On the surface, the two don't appear to get along the best, often arguing and bickering given the differences in prsonality, with Shiro preferring to avoid trouble when he can while Glacies is seemingly addicted to that.

However, in Petra's words, the two are kindred spirits, with Shiro experimented on by the various tribes of Tanzanite, while Glacies was kept as a slave by the twisted rainbow queen, Cahaya. Glacies breaking the poor creature out as he escaped instead of leaving him to his fate.

The two don't get along all the time but they've been through untold amounts of hardship in their lives, Shiro is quick to state that if it weren't for Glacies, then he'd be dead at best or a completely broken husk at worst. He enjoys little Salamii's company dearly, the lightning bean often acting as a reminder to him that not every creature is ruthless and corrupt,

Backstory
Born and raised in a small village within Niez, out of range of most civilizations, Shiro was part of a small family of Doragon’Neko. His family were pear and lavender farmers and had a steady income selling their products to their village, sometimes to far away cities, the capital city near the east in particular being a big importer for these.

Though he was very young, at the age of 2 or 3 Shiro started traveling with his families products, picking up many languages on his travels with his older brother, Toliks, who was 19. His father, Adaska who was 42, taught him how to hunt for his own food, and taught him many survival skills. His mother was sickly all the time, but helped him learn other languages other than the ones he already knew, taught him the basics of life like a normal mother would (walking, talking, ect.), she also taught him basic ‘first aid’. Her name was Shani, she was 39.

By the time he turned 4, war had broken out and the Arcane dragons murdered everyone in his village except for him and his brother. His mother was not in the village when they attacked, but is assumed dead due to her sickness. Shiro and Toliks were separated. Shiro was put through extensive experiments for an unaccounted amount of time, enacted by a variety of creatures in Tanzanite, particularly the Arcane Order and a group within the mountainous regions of Kokkivo, a particular experiment involving a figure named Synic and a lost loved one named Kiki, who perished during the Proto Polemo After some particularly painful experiments, he soon fell into the hands of Queen Cahaya of the Light Dragons, With the help of the a captured thief, the ice dragon Glacies who himself was enslaved and tortured by the prismatic priestess, he eventually escaped containment, with the duo traveling far west in order to escape from it all, eventually running into a Komodo Dragon who goes by the name of Cryll.

Nowadays Shiro, alongside the icy cold and snarky Glacies, the shy and hapless Cryll, and the excitable lightning dragon Salama, travel throughout much of Tanzanite
