"I... I can't do anything right..."
Name:
Huang Jin
Age:
15
Gender:
Male
Species:
Dragon Shifter
Nationality:
Chinese on his father's side, Japanese on his mother's.
Sexuality:
Straight
Appearance:
Jin is a mere 1.56 metres in height and has a rather scawny, slender build, despite being recorded to be near borderline overweight. He has black hair and a mild pale complexion. He wears the regular Dragon Shifter uniform.
"See... I'm just holding everyone back... I'm a... a disgrace..."
In his 'dragon' form, Huang Jin takes the shape of a koi carp and is a mere 25 centimetres in length, and appears rather beautiful. Calico koi are really pretty, moreso than other varieties. They make good pets- I mean, he is very light and easy to carry in this form. No fangs, no flight, is this really a dragon? It doesn't matter, because he definitely looks better than those ugly big guys. Take that, big fat ugly guys!
Personality:
Jin lacks one thing - confidence. He is awfully pessimistic, and always feels like giving up. The trauma of being the only one in his family to fail the coming of age ritual since generations has caused him to be like this, and he always feels that he is pulling everyone back. He always has this feeling that he is a laughing stock, and will shy away from others. He is a big crybaby, and always hides in a corner before crying. He likes some alone time, and believes that people are only there to mock him.
Likes:
Alone time
Swimming
The sweet smell of victory
Admirable people
Dislikes:
Being kept as a pet
Being picked on
Loss of any kind
Strengths:
He may not know it, but he's really good moral support.
He's always there to lend an ear.
He refuses to abandon a friend
He is a great swimmer.
Weaknesses:
Where do I even start?
He is a great crybaby and cries a lot.
He gives up easily.
His low confidence makes him feel very useless.
Powers:
Great beauty in his 'dragon' form, and to certain people with quite the fetish, his human form. Humans are often mesmerized by his lustrous scales and can only dream to have his beauty, or to have such an ornamental pet.
He can breathe both underwater and on land.
He can leap up to 10 metres in height from a surface while in his 'dragon' form.
He can flop and flail while in his dragon form, and that is his signature offensive attack and form of motility while on dry land.
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 a flurry of sharp attacks. Melee blunt attacks knock him hard though.
He is more temperature resistant than the usual human.
Doing good deeds to him will mildly increase your luck, such as having increased chances of landing a hit, and other things. Doing bad things will not do the reverse, unfortunately.
Weapons:
He brings a standard guandao than can only be wielded in his human form, since his 'dragon' form doesn't really have the appendages for that.
Family:
His father Huang Ming is a Long Race Dragon Shifter, specifically of the Shenlong variety, and his mother Inari is an Inari Race Dragon Shifter, a Japanese Dragon or Ryu that has similiar traits to the Shenlong.
Crush:
Well, why not we wait and find out?
Consort:
N/A
Other Information:
His Dragon Shifter Race is very unique. They are known as 'Long' or the 'Chinese Dragon', a type of Eastern Dragon, and their method of growth is intriguing. Once a young one reaches the age of thirteen, they will have to go through a six month trial known as the Coming Age Ritual, where they travel a water route in the forms of koi carp, facing many hardships. Some will give up easily due to hardships, but those who do will reach the top will have their koi forms turned into the shape of great dragons.
While he survived, he failed the trials due to his lack of confidence and giving up when he was faced with climbing the waterfall. His father was mildly disappointed and after two years, decided to enroll him in a boarding school of sorts, since he was his only son, and he didn't want his son's 'dragon' form to end up just being an even bigger carp. He says that he wants his son to 'man up' a little and realise that being a fish out of water doesn't make a difference as long as you persist.
He is sometimes called certain nicknames, mostly to do with being a... fish out of water.
Few to no dragon shifter databases or texts classify Koi Carps as Dragon Shifters. As such, Koi Carps tend to not be antagonised by Hunters until they develop and mature into their dragon states.
There are a few unproven theories of Koi Carp Dragon Shifters who never bloom into dragons. Some say they just keep growing like regular carp, albeit larger, until they death. Some say that they develop into Koi-type merfolk, but let's not get there.
