Aeos dragon form (see link in signature) is as large quadraped dragon. It stands roughly 16 meters. And is roughly 17-19 meters long. It has large oval like eyes that reflect the green colors of his element. His scales are the color of sand dunes. Sometimes when caught in sunlight they appear to be semi-golden. His wing span is ridiculously large. From tip to tip they are about as long as his entire body length. They span from a special modified limb on his shoulders all the way down to his tail tip. The front end, or top side half of them are covered in hard scales. The under belly portion is softer and more leathery. These wings are wide and oddly flexible. Designed to take advantage and ride the air currents long distances without expending too much energy, kind of like a condor. His face is roughly short snouted. And he has small frill like projections on the sides of his face and forehead. Each little frill is topped with a few blackened horns. These horns are the only protrusions on his body. The rest of him is smooth on order to help reduce drag. His feet are claw liked with long black nail talons used to help him grip things. His form was once common among other dragons as it was designed to be perfectly suited for living among the mountains and flying over long stretches of ocean or land in search of food.
Personality: Aeos personality is a cross between an inquisitive child and a gentle wise man. To outsider's he's often described as a hermit. He tries to avoid direct confrontation unless his life (or other innocent lives) are in danger. He has a bit of a fascination with the natural world and seeks to unlock the wonders of nature. He speaks in a bit of an old world style. His tries to speak honestly. Always calling someone a sir or madam, or for kids, little ones. If he ends up offending anyone he is usually quick to apologize for it. He's a bit naive to the cruelties of humans and would often make analogies to nature in order to better figure out human intentions. If provoked he will not hesitate to use brute force. He struggles to cope with the other half of his nature. The dragon half of him that wishes to show off it's strength. The dragon half of him is bold and brash. It can be quite rude or brutish. However it means well. Aeos uses meditation, travel, and training to bond and understand the other part of himself.
Story: Aeos' story started with his birth. He was born in a small village near the Eutrian/Nabatan border many years ago. His parents were former dragons of the scouring, whom remained neutral during the war. They did their best to maintain human appearances and constantly traveled around to avoid suspicion. They remained in the tiny village for two years to give their son some time to grow before heading off to travel again. His parents spent a majority of there years traveling in Nabata as nomads. Often sticking to the coastal side of the desert lands. They enjoyed a quiet and simple life.
Growing up Aeos was told stories of the world beyond the desert. He parents would tell him all about the people they knew. The places they had seen. And most importantly the nature found all over the world. He was told stories of forests, snow capped mountains, and vast lands full of grass. He wished to see the world outside the desert. But his parents would not allow it, at least not yet.
His parents taught him about meditation and combat, as means to cope and control his powers as a dragon. He was told that humans can be both kind and cruel. These fighting skills are to be used only in an emergency. And that he must be careful exposing his powers as there will be humans who will exploit or kill him for it. He was taught how to cook, clean, sew, read, and write.
Through his meditation he has achieved as small spiritual connection with his dragon stone. He tapped into it's powers and used it to read the wind and predict small weather changes. They were little things like what day would be best to hang the laundry. What day would there be harsh winds. Or what day would there be rain.
He spent much of his free time observing the creatures and learning from the desert.
SEVERAL years passed.
One night, during his meditation he sensed a "foul air" coming from the north east. He would later learn that this was due to the destruction of Ostia, and the resurgence of the monsters. He assumed that this was some sort of sign from the spirits of the world, and decided he needed to leave and investigate. The small family traveled to Khan Yunis and arranged for there son to travel to Lycia by sea. After a heartfelt good bye, he left Nabata.
Aeos' voyage on the ship was not with out some grief. For the first month on the trade ship he learned that he gets sea sick quite easily. He did not wish to be a burden on the merchants providing him travel so he quickly learned to adapt to sea faring. He earned his keep doing several jobs as a sailor (his favorite job was cooking). He was often called "wind man" by the crew due to his ability to predict where the winds would blow.
He trailed on the trade ship for several months before reaching, Badon in Lycia. It was here that he learned all about Ostia's destruction and of the monsters roaming the world. He assumed this was the what the spirits were trying to tell him. He decided to further hone his meditation, until the spirit in his stone, or the spirits of the world, gives him another "sign" and hopefully prevent a calamity. Until that day, he has taken to traveling across the lands and observing the natural splendor of the world.

As of Vinland, Aeos has improved his physical condition. He is now a bit stronger then he was when he first set out of Nabata. He's grown a bit wiser to the world and is slowly starting to find his place in it. He's been forced to improve his martial arts and gain some muscle. He's also learned to better cope with his dragon half. The two personalities are slowly meshing into one entity via training.
