History: Cipher's father drowned shortly after his birth. His mother could not care for him, and he was raised by his father's friend, Wymer's uncle, who was aware of his family's race and did not hold it against him. His foster father had no sons and only one daughter. He learned his trade from his foster father and helps him with his business. He met his wife through Wymer and fell for her rather quickly. Wanting to make sure she was cared for, he proposed shortly after her mother's death. They live in a very small home near the docks of the city. When she was invited to the ball, he immediately knew that he would be going as well.

Abilities/Skills: can shift into animals for short amounts of time (an hour or less) usually a wolf, fishing, sailing
Personality: He is extremely reliable and dedicated. He enjoys the occasional romp in the woods in animal form, but otherwise, he seldom uses his ability to shift, as it would draw too much attention. He enjoys the simple things in life and hopes to have children one day.

Non-Bonding Companions for the Ball: None

Meeting Notes (Written by Shard):It was surprisingly late in the evening when the pair of black Pernese dragons brought out their beautiful clutch for all to see. Two hours to midnight, where most of the others had come out an hour or two earlier. But those were nothing like this dark and shiny batch, and Cypher appreciated not only how pretty they were, but how strong their wings and high held bodies would be when they matured. Light caught their hide or their wings, sparkling in a dark rainbow, almost like they had scales, but these dragons did not - this was hide, he'd learned that they would probably need some amount of care if they... Well they wouldn't bond to him, surely. It was late, he'd probably be going home alone, watching his friends and their dragonets.

Oh but I want to come with you! A rich voice, so much more mature than it could have been at a very fresh hatching, came to Cypher's mind. He paid attention to the direction it came from, and turned out... it was that one in the middle of the pack, smaller than most but bigger than a few in that group, and obviously twice the size of those little checkerboard ones stumbling around the edges of the ball room.

"Do you? Really? Think you can keep up?" Cypher smiled, and the dragon raced suddenly forward, past his peers at a surprisingly good pace, coming to a tumbling halt in front of the man.

"I know I can! I know! I am Geluath!" The dragon could speak out loud too? That voice was much higher than his mental one, maybe some day they would match!
