Title: Ducanis of the Glacial Moondrop
Name: Ducan
Nickname: Kitty
Race: Tigris (Humanoid)
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Keeper of Skies
Love Interest: Ishiki
Abilities: Able to control the temperature to an extent - keeping the air around him cold (it is against his very instincts to drop this barrier), can form weapons/objects out of ice/water he freezes, retractable claws that he likes to elongate with ice on his fingertips
Weaknesses: Extreme heat, lower physical strength

Personality: Stoic and serious, though he has a warm side he does not often like to show. He pretends to have no attachment to anyone, but he will defend them if he deems it necessary. He is somewhat short-tempered, often finding himself annoyed with others. He comes across as snobbish and haughty, and he is quick to judge others. Sometimes he seems feral, as he is quick to bare his claws at others. He holds his beliefs firmly, but he is always skeptical when it comes to the beliefs of others.

Appearance: Born of the Earth, rather than other creatures, it is easy to tell Ducan apart. He is lithe and agile, much like the big cat genes within him, though he is actually somewhat short in stature. He is extremely pale with light blue markings on his skin in certain lighting, and he has long blue hair that waves slightly at the ends. Every time he exhales, no matter what climate he is in, his breath is visible in the air. He is always barefoot, and has never been seen wearing actual pants (he wears shorts, and occasionally cropped leggings) as if he always trying to cool off. He decorates himself with trophies of his kills, such as his snow leopard fur coat. His ears and tail are always visible.

History: Ducan is often referred to in the term of Earth-born, or someone who came into being without being conceived of another. He was born directly of the planet, and therefore has more magic in him than those who are not. He is the current Keeper of Skies, or the physical embodiment of the part of the planet that keeps balance over some aspect of nature. He came into being at the Glacial Moondrop, far away from any sort of civilization, and lived alone, fending for himself until he was captured by the crown. Because he spent most of his life by himself, he is somewhat feral and hasn't exactly developed the best social skills, though being a keeper of balance has given him a particularly strong set of values.

He meets Ishiki, Sachiko, and Haize when they raid the sky ship he is imprisoned on. They free him and take him along with them, back to a certain antique store, where he becomes involved in events far beyond what he ever expected.

He had never seen anything quite like it before. Ishiki had called it a city, a place where creatures of all kind dwelled and traded together. He hadn't expected it to be quite so large, or quite so loud. There were dirt paths woven in between dwellings larger and sturdier than he had ever known. The sheer amount of living creatures rushing through the streets was in and of itself startling - he had never seen so many in one location at the same time. And the diversity of them was another matter entirely - dragons, felines, canines, serpents, avians. He even saw an Earth-born like himself, who nodded to him in acknowledgement as he passed him by, his arms full of carrying cases made of cloth, overflowing with greenery and meats he had never seen before.

"What do you think?" Ishiki asked, stepping forward to stand at his side in front of the antique store's open doorway.

Ducan turned his nose up to the air. "...it smells," he answered stiffly. The statement was true - the lingering scents of dirt and a myriad of people, cooking meats and something else warm and sweet nearly overwhelmed his senses.

Rather than take insult to this declaration, the dune-gargoyle merely laughed. "Welcome to Aliere."

The Earth-born did not answer, instead focusing on one new sight after the other. It was difficult for him to concentrate on Ishiki's words when there was so many other things going on around him. Some kind of wooden apparatus rolled down the streets on circular pieces, drawn by horses. It rattled against small stones loudly as it passed them by. He could glimpse someone inside the odd box, a face through a small window.

"Now," Ishiki was saying, pulling Ducan's attention back to him. "I don't believe you have much experience with ale."

"What is that?" The tigris asked before he could stop himself from doing so.

At the question, the gargoyle began to grin. "Only the best creation in the history of civilization. You have to have some. Follow me."

Ishiki stepped forward, walking down the pathway, weaving through the dwellings as he moved. Ducan found himself falling behind on occasion as he got distracted by other people and objects. Ishiki waited for him patiently each time. Finally, Ducan jogged to catch up with him, his bare feet hitting the dust-covered ground. "Where are you taking me?" He asked, unable to keep the question in any longer.

The gargoyle looked at him and grinned once more. "My favorite place in the entire city - the tavern."
