Dragon Race Name:
Koi Carp
Dragon Form Appearance:
He takes the form of a calico koi carp and is a mere 25 centimetres in length, from snout to tail. He is very beautiful and stunning in this form. While light compared to most dragons, he is still pretty hard to handle. No fangs and no flight are what makes Jin stand out from the crowd like a fish out of water. Literally.
Race Description:
Koi Carp are essentially premature Long. In order to mature into one of the many varieties of Long, they have to pass the Ritual of Coming Age, a tradition for Koi Carp. Those who fail don't become Long. It is said that there are other ways, but what are they?
Well, they're basically just regular koi carp. Maybe. Much like regular koi carp, they come in many colours. Jin is of the calico variety.
Abilities:
Great beauty in his 'dragon' form, and to some extent, his human form. Very mesmerizing.
He is able to breathe both underwater and on land.
Doing good deeds to him can increase your luck.
He is more temperature resistant than the usual human.
The following are all Dragon Form exclusive
He can leap up to 10 metres in height from a surface.
He can flop and flail on land, which allows him to smack his weight on an opponent, and move on land as well.
His 'dragon' form is small and very slippery and can slip out of many, many situations, moreso than an ordinary koi carp. This allows him to evade attacks most other dragon shifters cannot. These attacks range from getting stepped on to the swiftest flurry of sharp attacks. Melee blunt attacks knock him hard though.
He can fit through small gaps, and slither through them.
Weaponry:
N/A
Known skills:
He refuses to say anything about such. His cooking is great, though.
History:
Huang Jin was born to a family of feared Long. When he reached 13, he had to fulfil one thing - the Ritual of Coming Age. It was a Ritual that involved Koi Carp going through a tough water route to finally jump over the Dragon Gate and transform into a Long. It's essentially part of their life cycle.
Jin, however, failed this test and was the first in generations to do so. He was traumatized by this failure that he lost confidence and believed that he was not fit to be a dragon.
His father, disappointed at his son's actions, chose to take action and teach him how to truly be a dragon. And what better way than to send him to a school for Dragons? And Hunters, too.
Other Information:
Most databases do not classify Koi Carp as dragons.
