~What have you done? Is this what you wanted?~
Hey, you new ‘round here? Ah, well then, I’m more or less the dean around here. Pleased to meet’cha. Can I get your name?
“...Corylus. It means 'hazel' in Latin...although there was one village...what was it again...? ...Der Esser von Leben? ...Humans are absolutely horrible when it comes to identifying demon genders.”
I’ll have a hard time forgetting that one. Tough on the speaker, eh? Haha. You don’t sound too old, what’s your age?
"...Is that a compliment or an insult? If you must know, although it really is rather rude to ask, I am 199; born on the 14th of December, 1812. 'Twas a lovely year - and a lovely day, too...If you're a demon, that is..."
Sorry, I hate being blind sometimes. What’s your gender (please don’t hit me!)?
“...Female.”
~What have you become? Your soul's not forsaken.~
I think I’m starting to get you a little better. Alright, what’s your physique and general appearance?
"...Greenish-brown. Hazel. Humans are much more creative with names...I'm a dragon, by the way. And my eyes are just sort of...brown. I'm not exactly what one would consider a large dragon, either. About the size of, oh, say...a small car. A bit bigger than a VW Beetle. I can pass off as a fairly convincing human in my more humanoid form, though. Provided I'm wearing long sleeves and pants. Getting rid of scales is a lot more difficult than you'd think. Pretty short by human terms, too (a little shorter than average). Fairly close-cropped brown hair, as far as human hair goes. Dragon-wise I have some fairly nice spines on my back - very sharp...and that's about it. Not much by the way of claws, but a nice 6 m wingspan."
Cool. Any scars or tattoos? I’ve wanted one of a sparrow on my neck, but…
“...One scar, on my right shoulder blade. Never underestimate a human with a pointed stick. Or blueberries - I'm allergic."
What kind of clothes do you like wearing?
“...Well...when around humans, normally a T-shirt, sweatshirt and jeans. Other demons/ghosts/fae/werewolves/vampires/etc. I like wearing sundresses. As for shoes, I have a nice pair of combat boots that work well...and I like my straw hat. Keeps the sun out of my eyes and the black ribbon is a nice touch...”
~You're walking alone from Heaven into Hell...~
I see, as it were. You seem fairly okay, what’s your personality like?
“...Contemplative...quiet, but not in a shy way...more of a...Machiavellian sort of way...I don't like answering people quickly...”
How’d you get here, anyway?
“...Imbalances. I dislike them. If there's an uneven number of people from one city to the next, I eat some so that they're back in balance. Life is currently trying to surpass Death. It's creating a very annoying imbalance.”
Do you have any family?
“...No. No, not really. I like being alone. In fact, I've never really had any family - related by blood, at least. I, like a few other demons, was born of bloodshed. Napoleon lost a delicious amount of soldiers during that invasion...”
~When the shadows remain in the light of day~
Alright, onto the important stuff. What’s your species?
“...Demon. Full. Dragon subspecies.”
~On the wings of darkness he'll retaliate~
Now that we’ve gotten that cleared up, do you belong to a tribe of some sort?
“...A bit of a loner...Others tend to find my interest in balance a little...obsessive...”
What is your fixed power element?
"...Water. Snow and ice, really, considering the situations from which I was born. There's only been one successful winter invasion of Russia, and it was certainly not in 1812."
Final questions before you run off; where do your loyalties lie?
“...Death’s army of Scythes. Life and Death need to be put back into proper alignment.”
Anything else I should know?
“...No. Nothing in particular.”
~He'll be falling from grace til the end of all his days...~
