Yeah, I wanted to hang out in the Anthro worlds a bit, and I recently made an anthro version of my dragon, Niphanos. I loved it so much, I'm transferring it to here.
Name:[/u] Niphanos the Glittering
Gender:[/u] Male
Race:[/u] Dragonkin (Is that the term? He's an anthropomorphic dragon. I'm pretty sure that's the right term.)
Sub-race:[/u] N/A
Appearance:[/u] Niphanos is not terribly tall, just 5' 11". Even so, he can seem to tower over others because of the confident way he stands, with his back straight and his chin high, and his tail is usually held just off of the ground. His scales are a bluish-teal color, with some orange speckles on his back. His claws are black. His build is not terribly muscular, though his muscles have very good definition thanks to his high metabolism. He has a crest of navy blue feathers that spray down the back of his head, traveling just past his neck onto his back. The feathers go by his horns, which are curved in a manner that they start pointing backwards but curl around forward. He has a friendly and open smile, with his sapphire blue eyes glittering. His wardrobe is generally fairly laid back.
((I'm not describing wardrobe so that I do not limit myself to one specific Anthro world.
))
Personality: He's generally a pretty friendly fellow, usually helping someone if they ask it of him. Occasionally though, he has his own agenda, and will stick to it with few deviations. He tends to get embarrassed easily, chuckling and rubbing the back of his neck nervously when he is. As he talks, he has a faint British accent that somehow compliments his semi-archaic dialect. He may show a great deal of confidence to the untrained eye, but it is only a façade he puts up to better his chances to get what he wants. It works quite well, one may notice.
Magic: His magic is of a generally earthen cast, and not very strong. He does have one particularly interesting ability, however.
Spells:
Skills:[/u] He has a great sense of balance, even for one with a tail, and practices the sport of Parkour. He very rarely travels like most would, preferring to run atop the roofs of buildings.
Biography: Niphanos grew up without a father, but with a very understanding and accepting mother, and a wonderful younger sister. All throughout his childhood and adolescence, right up into early adulthood, the neighbors he helped, the friends he made, and anyone he worked for has always noticed his intelligence and praised him for it. He just never really lived up to it, preferring to be more lazy and floating by in life. As little as he may have realized it at the time, it was going to his head. He can get a bit audacious at times, and is often fairly aloof until he gets to know you. He discovered his earthen magic fairly early on in life, so he never really thought much of it, it became as much a part of him as his tail, or his claws.
One day, he went to go find some metal, and he carries it around by encasing his hand in it, making a hard metal glove. He had mostly been collecting gold, but when he got home he noticed that it was mostly base metals, like iron and lead, almost as if the gold and silver had vanished. He ignored it and simply carried on with his life, occasionally gathering more metal, always seeming to lose some, until one day when he was particularly distraught... he was terribly depressed, and when he looked down at his hands, they had turned to gold, as had the rest of his body. Amazed at this, he ran to get a mirror, and noticed he had a silver tongue. He chuckled at this, the simple pun brushing aside his depression like a cobweb. Quickly his scales returned to normal, which puzzled him. After many months, he finally notices a pattern to when he turns gold, and realizes it has to do with his emotions. To help this, he takes up meditation in addition to parkour. He is now fully in control of his body. Eventually, he found a better way to metalize, without using his emotions.
Miscellaneous:[/b] He may or may not use his title, depending on what anthro world he's in. More modern ones, he'll just be a flashy guy leaping from rooftop to rooftop, talking funny. More archaic ones, he'll fit right in, title, dialect, and all.
Heehee, all in one sitting. Not bad, huh?
Minor edit: I decided he isn't going to have wings, after all.

Magic: His magic is of a generally earthen cast, and not very strong. He does have one particularly interesting ability, however.
Spells:
- Metalize: He can turn his body into metal, usually gold and silver, by controlling what emotions he feels. Silver is generally in place of the softer tissues, such as his internal organs, tongue, etc. Gold is usually the outside, and is how he got his title, "the Glittering". Another bullet point: He can still move normally, it is a very peculiar metal, one could say. It moves just like his scales and wings normally would, and is warm as well, but it still looks and feels like metal. His sense of touch is also desensitized, no longer feeling minor stimuli such as soft breezes or textures. This is his only powerful ability.
- Metal shaping: He can magically reshape metals to his whim, including himself when he metalizes. The metals do not heat up as they are shaped, though they flow like a liquid. This power, however, is fairly limited. He cannot bring down a building by removing the rods in the walls, but he can remove a door.
