Drust was born into Skekrill and was the runt of a brood of 3, his parents did not believe he would survive but he learnt his underhanded ways in the nest, learning ways of stealing and winning food from his larger bulkier brothers, this often got him beaten up, but he did get to eat.

Is a skinny youngester due to lack of food.

Ignored by his family he learnt swiftly to take care of himself can find intergrating with others awkward on level of equals.
His brothers were the pride of his father, but they were picked off one by one in fights in and outside of the Aerie, his father hated Drust for being the only one left alive and yet useless in his eyes, Drust asked him how he could prove his usefulness and he was told he must kill the creature that killed his oldest brother, and bring back proof that he has done so, Drust took on this task and set about planning to find and do away with his unknown enemy...

Drust stands at just under 4ft to the shoulder (a full foot shorter than his brothers), most of his apparent bulk is feathers and fur, he learnt quickly that he is not brawny or able to take part in one-on-one fights, not so long as he is fighting fair, when his second older brother threw him down and he tumbled over the rocks, breaking his right foreleg, it was a minor break but there is a slight ridge under the skin where it broke and healed over.

He has always been restless and finds himself meditating and contemplating on things, he has been teased that he'd better suit Twistoult, though he is neither superstitious nor particularly religious, he has an admiration for Mordachae and her children however.

Drust has a mixed attitude to company, part of him wishes to have a close friend, but his reticence about others makes him awkward about others, he rarely speaks of what is importiant to him.

Drust admires those who have developed more complex tools and items and medicine. He is facinated by the way other aeries work and behave and he believes he could easily blend in with another group, though he has yet to test this theory. He approves of a firm command system.

As a youngster he wanted to become a Nachtbrag to prove his stength, but he never bulked out as he grew, his aspirations are still similar however different in details, as an adult he wishes to show the Queen the importiance of intelligence services and sleeper agents.

He has not yet made up his mind about humans.


I shouldn't have really made this yet since I don't even know if his combo has been accepted =X but I couldn't resist!

Drust and artwork of him belongs to me!

I think my Cadence would probably try to feed him if she ever met him, by the way. Poor guy needs some extra snacks, and even though Cadence is from Twistoult she doesn't really care who's from what aerie as long as they're civil toward her. xD

Thank you
I am less than impressed with my first challenge =_= so I hope I can get my standards up, I really like the opportunity this group has given me to work more, not just at my OCs, but at different backgrounds and settings, an area I feel I'm lacking in.

Oooooo what a handsome young thing he is.
Love his design! and the detail you put into this character sheet is just amazing.
I'm really excited to see his challenges and I hope I get a chance to draw him and Arcadia interacting sometime

Arcadia is absolutely beautiful, and I bet she'd make verbal-mincemeat out of Drust XD

Aw thank you :3
Yeahhh I don't see things ending too well should the two ever meet.
Although Arcadia does have a weakness for attractive males and grown up Drust does fall into that category what with his rather 'large wingspan', you know what they say about big wings

I'm really glad I went with the Red Kite, I almost changed by mind when I saw there were already a couple using that combo Thank you very much

Shadow-and-Flame-86 In reply to ObloquyCondemed [2011-08-03 08:54:33 +0000 UTC]

ah there are only a few using red kites (me, vakia and adoerak I think), and there are no kite/lynx combos so he stands out

I thought the same when I was designing my gryph but I get to see/photograph red kites quite a bit so they are one of my favourite sp. of UK birds of prey ^-^

Dorky bumbling Keilos will be pleased to meet Drust, even if he is a little it awkward.

Good, I can't wait to see some more of it.

And I'm glad you like Keilos, that really means a lot to me! He's a bit of a derpderp idiot right now, but I can't resist him.

Supaslim [2011-08-01 05:29:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, is he gorgeous or what! That design is just lovely, and what great wings for soaring! And that face. I can't wait to see his rank challenges. ^^

He and Briggen sound like they would be begrudging allies. Poor Briggen likes to make maps and thinks they'd be incredibly useful for recon work, but he fears Maud would find it too artsy. However, Briggen is also very much a diehard Skrekrill and looks down on perceived weakness, and I doubt Drust would like him very much at all (and vice versa). XD

How did I miss Briggen when I was wandering the galleries?
He looks really cool and his markings are really nice and subtle, I particularly like his pale green eyes.
I suspect they'd hate each other but appreciate the way the other thinks and puts the good of Skrekrill ahead of their own personal disputes... or something, it would be a great thing to watch from a distance anyway XD
I hope I'll be able to include Briggen in a challenge or two =3 or just draw him because he's a grumpy looking fellow <3

Supaslim In reply to SherlockianHamps [2011-08-01 09:12:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, he IS a spy XD You aren't supposed to notice him.

I will definitely draw our griffins together, hating each other but still feeling like they only stand a chance with Maud if they work together. Because it sounds friggin awesome.

Quisum [2011-08-01 04:41:22 +0000 UTC]

I like this guy's design, especially the wing patterns and subtle orange colors. He seems like he'd be a good flyer (for a gryphon at least) with that large chest and short lynx tail

On a different note, how come I've never stumbled upon you're art before? Must watch!

Thank you very much
You can thank Skysealer for that, I can't create a flying creature now without taking some kind of aerodynamics
into account after seeing her work, though I am nowhere nearly as accomplished.
I really like your work btw, there is something very organic about the lines you use that really appeals to me.

Quisum In reply to ObloquyCondemed [2011-08-03 04:05:47 +0000 UTC]

haha, Skysealer's work has the same effect on me too, and when all is said and done I'll usually resign to the fact that the creature I just drew probably won't be able to fly.
