BACKSTORY
Briquette is the forbidden offspring between a Nightwing and a Skywing and neither tribe wanted him to stay with the threat of execution if he did, no matter how much he begged and pleaded.  He was also an orphan so he didn't have any mother or father to defend him against the hostility of either tribe.  So he embarked on his own to find a place where he could settle and call his own.
He found it everywhere.

He loved the sounds of nature and the greenery of the trees, he loved the feeling of mud in his talons in the Mud Kingdom, the birds of paradise and other animal sounds in the rainforest.  The sounds of the ocean waves near the Kingdom of the Sea (even though he couldn't swim), and even the barren quiet and warmth of the desert.  The Ice Kingdom was one of the places he could never go but he still found it fascinating all the same.  He even conversed with a few IceWing refugees who were tired of the fighting and the strict conduct

Briquette took up a hobby in barbecue which eventually turned into a full-blown career.  He loves traveling all over Pyrrhia and cooking for dragons of other tribes, even humans on a few occasions.  (He finds the two-legged creatures to be quite fascinating and while he is unable to understand their spoken language, he has gotten real good at figuring out their body language and gestures.  He won't usually eat scavengers but has been known to if that human does something stupid and attacks him first.

Through this hobby, he has made quite a few friends who have come back for more and he eventually settled in Possibility where he has a barbecue shop, which he calls Briquette's Pyrrhian Barbecue, open to both humans and dragons alike to get a taste of his home cooking.  (Translations provided by a human named Sky)

Briquette doesn't mean to brag, but he makes a mean shish-kabob cooked over a slaw flame on a spit.  He often uses many different kinds of animals like pork, beef, chicken, and sometimes smaller rodents he finds lying around.  He can make something to satisfy just about any palette.
Briquette hopes to one day make his business into a worldwide sensation, but at the same time he knows that almost nobody will be able to catch lightning in a bottle the way he has.

PERSONALITY
Briquette tries to be friendly and caring for tribes that aren't his own, but a lot of the other tribes just don't know what to think of him.  He has traits of the two most difficult tribes in Pyrrhia to get along with but those who have been able to approach him without fear have learned that he's a nice guy.  Fair, honest, and reasonable.  That being said he's not afraid to put you in your place if you mistreat him or his friends.

ABILITIES:
He can do pretty much anything a Skywing can do, as the Skywing half is his dominant side.  He is a very skilled fighter and prefers to catch his meat raw and cook them fresh so it doesn't go to waste.  He's swift, strong, and deadly.

STRENGTHS
Friendly and a well-experienced cook.  He uses a wide variety of seasons which he can adapt to the customer's palette (all orders must be made in person)  He can even go spicy or mild if he's so inclined.  He uses charcoal briquettes as a rule, only using his fire breath when needed, and the result is often overwhelmingly positive with his customers.

He also has all the standard strengths and weaknesses that come with both SkyWings and Nightwings.

WEAKNESS
Sometimes he gets too proud of his business and as such will often fight tooth and claw if someone so much leaves anything lower than a 3-star review.  That being said if the customer gives some good reasons why they left such a review, then Briquette is more likely to take it to his heart and strive to improve.  Be that as it may he still has a pretty short fuse, and and is strict about the rules and code of conduct in his stall.  He can and WILL refuse to serve anyone who is rude, demanding, and especially if they treat his friends and/or staff like "The help."  He hates that more than anything.
