Big, big eyes are all the brighter for their depthless indigo setting, while nearly as expressive are the headknobs that like to tilt this way and that with the dragonet's every mood. Dark without being cold, he's slender but short-limbed in youth; ungainly paws contrast in size to the point of comedy, leaving his knees and wings smudged with turquoise as though he'd tripped and trailed their edges in so much starry light. That light clarifies at the tip of his tail: no longer a galaxy but his very own crescent moon.

Wrapping of Risk Egg

A rumpling of white, this mid-sized egg has no particular rhyme nor reason; it only grows darker where illusory creases sink and brighter where they rise. When seen close up, even that whiteness is only an accumulation of whites: some finer-grained and some rougher, some subtly yellower as though with age, others with the ghosts of brownish blotches. None of the lines are so sharp as to have been ironed in, though perhaps slept on; this is no tidy arrangement.

The Wrapping of Risk Egg finally transforms into something more, a blue dragonet that is revealed from the wrapping of pieces of shell. For a moment, the hatchling just stands there blinking tiredly, but then he curls back up into the bed of egg and shell to-- doze off?

Temperament

Except for chosing you, J'zen, it seems as if Lucuxyth can do no right. Like any good magical girl, he is a klutz, through and through, though he is not without his own strengths and skills. At least, if one can get past his ability to seemingly fuck everything up. But as you grow together, you may discover the depth of his loyalty and love, the one thing that shines brightly and clearly to any who know him, and something that he will share with you always. What you love and care for, so will he. Unfortunately, this means that, if you feel too strongly about something or someone, he is apt to do whatever he can to make things bright and wonderful and happy... and in trying too hard, he may irritate both you and others, even if he manages to succeed without putting a foot wrong (on occasion).

There is, however, a lot that you will have to deal with to get Lucuxyth to that point. As a weyrling, he will seem to sleep more than his clutchmates, even long past when the dragonets are inclined to stay awake longer. You will often find him curled up on his couch, refusing to get up and greet the world, and he has a tendency to oversleep for any lessons. If he happens to miss them, if he does not pay attention to the studies that he needs to-- well, he may bemoan after the fact while you lag behind the rest of the class, but he doesn't care in the moment. The one thing that he won't ever miss is feeding time, wanting to eat more than you'd think he's capable of, given his size. Cause and effect might be something that he does not grasp until long after his siblings have, and, should you chastise him, his genuine lack of understanding that /he/ might have created trouble for you both could make your first turn together a frustrating - if joyful - one.

It is once Lucuxyth is let into the air that he will truly shine. At least, he will /try/ to, because it seems for as much thought and enthusiasm that he puts into learning tricks and performing them, he can never /quite/ get them right. That won't stop him from trying or investing the time and energy into practicing, because this is his dream. Like his sire, he wants to be the Fastest; he wants to perform like a magician in the air, even if his skills will never quite live up to his ambitions. He can /show/ people what he wishes to do just fine, creating arcs and loops and a sense of gravity and understanding when he conveys his ideas mentally, but in reality... the blue he paints in his mind is a different creature. This has the potential to extend to Between: his images, during those early months of training, might never be quite /right/. Exact. /Safe/. He can mirror, but he struggles to create images. If he doesn't manage to marry fiction and reality, you could find yourselves held back from making your first trips Between. He will need extra time and patience, that's for certain.

This is likely why he will do better as a part of his wing, with a strong Wingleader to reign in and focus his energy into something useful and productive. When directed to a task and given the proper tools, you will find that Lucuxyth can accomplish what he sets his mind to, so it just seems to be when left to his /own/ devices more than anything else that he fails. He may never be leadership material himself, nor will he seem to aspire to be. If he's thrust into such a position, you might find him quickly overwhelmed and emotional, but he will do his best! He's better in a team, with others to support him, and for him to dedicate himself to, and rarely will he hold himself apart from his wingmates.

Lucuxyth will have the habit of falling head over paws for a green, and you'll soon find that love at first sight is almost always how he prefers to fall in love. It won't matter, it seems, what the green is like or whether they mesh well together, because he will pursue the object of his affection with the same relentless energy as he does everything else in life. He will bring presents, compliments-- everything, in his attempt to woo the green that he likes. But in the event that she gives in to his attention and allows him to catch, he may very well quickly grow bored and find himself falling for the next. How /you/ handle the ire of the greenriders whose lifemates he upsets... Well, what sort of reputation do you wish for yourself?

Regardless of the long days and months where it doesn't seem as if Lucuxyth, or you by extension, can do anything right, you know that whatever your dragon does, J'zen, he does it with a depth of loyalty and love. He will always put the whole of his heart and energy into what he does, even (and especially) when that is simply slacking off. It will be on you, J'zen, to focus your dragon into something more, something magical. Together, you can transform into what you are meant to be.

Public Impression Message

As the Moon's Reflected Magic Blue realizes that he is the last of his brothers and sisters on the sands, he seems to get all that more self-conscious, a quickness to his step and a flail of his wings outwards that sees him tripping towards a Southern Candidate who is left standing by himself. From there, it seems he does not need to go further, collapsing in an embarrassed pile at that boy's feet.

Private Impression Message

There is a sudden embarrassment that swells at the edges of your mind as a blue dragon trips to land at your feet, shared between you both as Lucuxyth seeks the comfort of your reassurance. Even as moonlight buries itself deep into your heart, making it's own place, you can't help but feel as if you've felt this all before; that this has happened before, in another place and another lifetime. And you can't help but know that this is your Lucuxyth and you are now J'zen. Or have you always been J'zen, and you are just now realizing it. « I'm hungry, and tired, J'zen. Let's go home, » complains the mind against yours, and even this holds that haunting sense of deja vu.

Mindvoice

There holds the hazy touch of memories to Lucuxyth's mindvoice, sometimes quite literally pulling memories, both distant and near, from yourself to communicate with completely. Some of the memories, you may not even be sure where he pulled them from, because you might be quite sure that it has never happened to /you/ at least, before, and they may not have. Other lifetimes, other worlds could be the memories he pulls, but then, are they really memories? They certainly /feel/ like them. There is a touch of moonlight to his mindvoice as well, filtered rays brushing over everything.

Suggested Adult Description

The dragon's luminous eyes are all the brighter for their depthless indigo setting, while nearly as expressive are the headknobs that like to tilt this way and that with his every changing mood. Dark without being cold, he's long-limbed to the point of slenderness; turquoise smudges his knees and flaring wings, as though he'd long ago tripped and trailed their edges in so much starry light. That light clarifies at the tip of his effortlessly long tail: no longer a galaxy but his very own crescent moon.

Name Meaning

The primary basis for your dragon's name, J'zen, I am sorry to say was this word: http://betterthanenglish.com/lucu-bahasa-indonesia/. You requested something that pertained to the dragon's theme, and the one thing that seemed to tie together the inspirations of this dragon was this.

Inspiration

Your dragon's primary inspiration draws from Tsukino Usagi, aka Sailor Moon. There are elements of the magical girl, of transformation and love and loyalty, but still making mistakes. It tied in well to Gob Bluth from Arrested development, who lended his own tricks and magic in flight, which he never seems to do right, as well as Andy Dwyer and so on. All of these lovable losers that try /so hard/ and yet seem to still be able to mess up everything that they do, allowing J'zen the sort of growth, maybe, that you are looking for. The moon came back into play with his description and especially, of course, with his mindvoice. Also, all of those memories that come and go with Usagi where she remembers the Moon Kingdom? Also there.
