Description

"The one who smiles the brightest are followed by the longest shadow. The one who laughs the loudest hides the the most painful past. That person who smiles the most is the last person you want to piss off, because when their smile fades and you're the reason why, Whether you hurt their loved ones or insult what they stand for...then you find out what darkness that smile hides, the pain that they don't talk about...they instantly turn into your worst nightmare!"

Bys is a golden feathered dragon born the bastard son of the Dragon Princess Shara and her Bodyguard Caelius. To protect him from his grandfather, The Dragon Rex, finding out about his existance, Bys was sent to live with a former friend of his father's, Dr. Hall Bezaleel, acting as his reluctant godfather, but the weathered war veteran had changed since Caelius last saw him, he became cold, detached, no longer the compassionate man Caelius once knew but a hollow shadow of a man who believes that emotions, sentimentality, and attachments to others is a weakness so he avoids them firmly with absolute stoicism to accomplish his goals to fundamentally change the world for what he believes is the greater good. While Bys's father left to find a safe place to raise his son, Bys became Dr. Hall's material to experiment on, as he tried to make him the ultimate living weapon to fulfill his war-ending quest, loading him with 6 elemental powers, but as a result of experimentation Bys has become mentally and emotionally unstable. One of Bys's primary symptoms is Multi-personality disorder; one split personality for each of his elements to help him cope with the mental strain of having 6 elements forced into his body that were not originally his, but also causes him stress. 

Bys’s emotional instability can make him seem like a completley different person given the situation and who he’s around. Because of the abuse he suffered at the hands of Dr. Hall, the closest thing he knew as family while never really knowing his real parents giving him feelings of abandonment made him distrustful and paranoid around figures of authorities and rebellious to rules. Around strangers and crowds he’s timid, awkward, and quiet, he keeps his head low and tries to just pass by without being noticed and avoid conflicts by making himself seem weak, goofy, and even making fun of himself. When around the people he cares about he comes off as being a normal young dragon, he’s cheerful, he likes to joke around and laugh, make other happy, and he’s outgoingly kind to others. Then you get on his bad side and he becomes a beast at best and a monster at worst. If he thinks someone he cares about is in danger he won’t hesitate to act even if he doesn’t know what he’s doing, then tends to make poor decisions and get himself hurt, but so long as he’s trying to protect someone else he’ll keep getting back up and take a beating for them. Once you piss him off, then all his inhibitors fall apart and you meet the shadow behind the smile. This side of Bys has no regard for rules, laws, or morals, everything is fair game to accomplish his goal: beat the enemy until they stop moving! He also takes on a sardonic attitude and likes to mock his opponent while he’s beating them. Though he’s very capable of beating the shit out of anyone that dare attack one of his friends, being enraged like this also makes him more susceptible to having a mental breakdown, and if he has a mental breakdown then he could literally go off in a similar fashion to a nuclear bomb, killing himself and anyone nearby.

That quote at the top of the description is quite true.

So are Bys' colors the same? Like the same as they've always been? and what are the colors of his necklace and the bracelet-like things on his tail and legs?
