ALIAS/NICKNAMES/TITLES: generally some variation on 'my lord'. he tends to encourage this, and very rarely allows use of his 'disguise name'. after all, only answering to 'tianlong' would arouse some suspicion.
RACE: god, specifically the dragon god of sajagul.
AGE: centuries old by this point, and he doesn't place much importance on it. publicly, he claims to be thirty-two.
GENDER: male.
ELEMENTAL AFFINITY: heaven and water.
OCCUPATION: he actively takes a part in the governance of sajagul, having taken the guise of a yanwon diplomat who 'mysteriously disappeared'. the only one to know of his true identity within the court is the emperor himself, and as such he serves as 'special advisor' to the throne. of course he's not content with just that, and he actively attempts to pull strings behind the scenes.
DESCRIPTION: shiki, togainu no chi.

THEIR STORY:
the dragon god of sajagul is the eldest of nine brothers, the de facto leaders in the ancient struggle over their land with the mulsaja. taking much of the credit for driving their enemy back into the sea, it's unsurprising that he became the most revered by the new occupants of their lands, and he became the 'celestial dragon' of their ruling class. being declared their 'protector' had surprised and in fact annoyed him at first, but humans occasionally have a good idea or two and if 'omens' provided by him got the country to do what he told it, he was all for it.
he spent much of his time in the peace period out amongst the islands, much preferring the quiet and proximity to the sea to the bustle of the mainland. keeping himself occupied was mostly an affair of terrifying the local villagers into devotion and causing their homes to flood should they fail to show the 'correct' amount of worshipful panic. even then he felt entitled to their fear and respect, rather than like he should earn it.
wanderlust being a temporary thing, he eventually returned to the mainland on a permanent basis. this was around the time of the invasion of yanwo, and he found himself going a little more heavily on the 'guidance'. during the war the phoenix's efforts to protect her people were a huge nuisance to the sajagulian army, and thus he took it upon himself to find and capture the interfering goddess.
he grew to be fascinated with her, acutely aware that she was almost his mirror image, and fascination slowly became obsession. visiting her became a daily ritual, talking more at her than to her about events and the happenings in the world, making her safety a priority over even his own. he never uttered the word 'love', but he knows that's what his feelings were. love for a possession, over an object that belonged to him. he'd never dare to acknowledge her as a real person, because that would make his feelings so much more difficult to deal with.
and then, she was stolen from him. stolen by an oracle who 'set her free', or some such nonsense - he fell into such a rage that his attendants were scared even to look him in the eye for weeks. without her presence in his life he is slowly falling to pieces, convinced that he needs her. when not performing court duties he shuts himself up in his chambers, brooding, pacing. he attempts to convince the emperor that her recapture is of the utmost importance, that with her back yanwo will fall into bloody rebellion, but so far he has been unsuccessful. he's taken things into his own hands, but he's slowly edging closer to simple self-destruction over it.
combat.
[/font][/center]ABILITIES: 使服從 enthrall ; the celestial beauty of the dragon is difficult to guard against, and by briefly allowing someone to see into the spirit world he finds he can stun them into compliance with just about anything. after all, who would go against a god?
大波 great wave ; he's old and he's powerful, quite capable of summoning huge quantities of water on a whim. should he need to defend himself, he finds that a crushing wall of water does quite well as a means to get an opponent away from himself.
渦流 whirlpool ; an ability commonly used directly after great wave, whirlpool allows tendrils of water to restrain and hold captive a single enemy. being quite as ruthless as he is, the dragon often extends a tendril down the throat of his hapless attacker, aiming to quickly and mercilessly drown them without further ceremony.
