In order to understand the rather complicated past that is Morion's life (XD) I would strongly recommend you read his first journal, here, and his diary while under Britain's care, which is here.

May you enjoy the story!

Quote:

Once upon a time... there was a dream.

Like many dreams before it, this one had been formed out of unyielding hope and love. It resided in the ether where dreams reside, floating in imagination, balancing in perfect sync between sleeping and wakefulness...

Until one day, that dream was plucked from its spot in the cosmos and given True Form.

Bound to flesh and blood.

No longer a mere dream but now a Fa'e, a living creature of myth, he was given to the one who had dreamt him -- a young Gaian woman by the name of Smoke. Smoke knew he belonged to her, and her to him, but neither one fully understood the strength of the bond which connected their souls.

She called her Fa'e child Morion, and he was a dragon prince.

There were many other Fa'e children being brought to Life at this point, and Morion was happy to find his place among them. Very few of them, if any at all, could remember bits and pieces of the dream that had brought them into being. It seemed their goal to remember; to find a way to permanently blend the fantasy and the waking world...

Over time, oaths were created between Morion and others, and love was found. Smoke struggled to understand just how and why Morion had come to her -- but being only human, she couldn't recognize the simple truth that without her dreams, Morion would not exist at all.

Time passed. Morion grew. Oaths were broken and loves were lost.

Perhaps the weight of the mortal world is too much for a fragile Fa'e soul to bear; it too easily snaps their wings and breaks their spirits, sending them back to the ether they were borne from. Or perhaps Smoke, in her naïveté, failed to ensure both her own and her Son's safety.

When the unforseen happened and Smoke was killed, Morion's entire being began to fade. He wandered aimless and alone, unable to continue along the path that would lead to Ancienthood... or even to simple peace of mind. A dream without a dreamer is a lost, miserable thing.

But before he could fade from existance, he was found... by a woman who had dreams enough to sustain him.

Though Britain cared for Morion as deeply as Smoke had, the damage done to the dragon Fa'e was too severe to be healed by anything short of his first Guardian's return. Rather, it was forgotten. Morion, in his desperate attempt to forget the past and forge ahead, created his own Double --

A doppelganger.

And he allowed himself to live behind the mirror.

Life seemed to be improving. New oaths were formed, new loves were found. Morion grew under Britain's care and dreaming, wearing his newfound strength proudly. The mask he had created was so intricate, so layered, so deep, that no one could tell the difference... not even himself.

Until Smoke returned.

And here, my gentle readers, is where our story continues...

Physical Appearance: Please note: Morion's draconic traits are more prominent in his new adolescent form than they were previously.

In his current teen form, Morion is 5'6" tall; his body is wiry and slender, covered in a layer of blue dragon scales. The scales thicken, almost resembling armor, along his wings and especially his tail. Edges of bone jut from his shoulder to his lower forearm, resembling a dragon's spines. His feet are much longer than a normal human's and he has an extra joint near his ankle. Given the thick pads on his soles and the long claws on each digit, wearing shoes would be pointless and painful.

Morion's silver hair is chin-length and he lets it fall wherever it wants, usually pushing it back behind one of his three sets of spiraling horns when it gets in his way. One pair of horns curve down around his face, like ram's horns, while the two other pairs extend from the top of his forehead. The pair closest to his temples are smaller than the others, which curve back a good foot in length. His ears are also sharply pointed.

His eyes are expressive and golden. Morion wears glasses; though his vision isn't horrible, it's not perfect either.

A golden star marks Morion's skin on the center of his forehead. It is a gift from Hoshi, recently returned to him when he regressed to his teenage form.

Personality: Think "warrior-poet"... this is a very accurate description of Morion. His ability and willingness to fight when needed are fueled by love for his friends, dedication to his allies, and enjoyment of the simple things in life... namely reading, learning, and exploring. Though he's had a rough life as a Fa'e, Morion has not lost his noble bearing. He's slowly growing more determined to find his path in the world... and then, perhaps, he can begin to help others find theirs.

His Passion: Morion thrives on the written word, rarely goes a day without writing, and is hardly ever seen without a book tucked under one arm. Histories and legends are akin to food to him, hulking volumes of poetry are his air, and the ballads of olde are his drink.

Outlook on Love: His past relationships haven't exactly been all flowers and sunshine... just ask Purr-Purr, Dawna, or Astaroth. Morion's beginning to realize that he's probably better off NOT looking for any sort of romantic attachment. If it happens in the future, then so be it. ...That said, if Morion DOES fall in love again, he will dedicate himself fully to the object of his affections. Expect to be courted in true Shakespearian style!

General Likes: Collecting books, fiddling with computers or other electronic objects, flying, being outside, the forests, quiet places, thunderstorms, nice clothing, any sort of tea... and of course, intelligent conversation.

General Dislikes: Loud, obnoxious people, being in small spaces, television, doubting himself.

Powers and Abilities:

Flight -- His wings are useful in both forms, humanoid and dragon.

Control Electricity -- As Morion discovered when he was a child, he has the ability to call lightning from the clouds or raw energy from a power source (like a generator or phone poll). He must have access to one or the other for it to work... he can't call lightning in an empty cave, for example.

Dragonform -- Morion can shapeshift into a full dragon, a good 20' tall and 100' long. While in dragonform he retains his abilities of flight and lightning breath, and his claws, teeth, and barbed tail are all dangerous weapons. He can also carry two people on his back. The downsides: on the ground he can't move as swiftly to escape danger, and the shapeshifting requires a lot of physical energy. When he shifts back to his normal, humanoid form, he's likely to be very tired if not outright exhausted.

Weaknesses:

Half-Soul -- Since his split with the doppelgaengar Rionne, Morion is only half-Fa'e. This means that he has less magical energy... but more importantly, it means that he cannot have a Fa'e child or achieve Ancienthood unless a solution to this problem is found. (And the Hells only know what that might entail!)

Self Doubt -- Past events have lead Morion to constantly doubt himself and his motives, worrying that whatever he does is going to have a negative effect on someone else. Fortunately, he's slowly beginning to recognize this problem and can work to fix it.

Isolation -- At times this bookworm Fa'e becomes so involved with his own private affairs that he doesn't pay attention to the rest of the world around him, and he may alienate others without meaning to at all. Morion needs to work on his social skills a bit. XD

True Name: Sarah
Age: 24-ish or thereabouts (i.e, she's not completely sure)
Build: Average size and more slender than curvy
Place of Birth: Planet Gunsmoke
(Same setting of Trigun. and no, she never knew Vash or any other canon characters)

Physical Appearance: A normal-looking woman by all accounts, particularly when you bear in mind how strange most of Gaia's occupants appear. She is human, fair-skinned, with short silver hair that is usually kept hidden beneath her cowboy-style hat. When she's not wearing her hat, some renegade strands fall down around her face. She often has a sleepy appearance... which is deceiving because she's actually quite perceptive. Smoke has a slight androgynous look about her and she could probably masquerade as a boy if she wanted to.

Smoke's eyes are a light grey, and can shift to a dark slate blue when she's really pissed.

She wears comfortable clothing -- usually jeans, a button-up shirt not tucked in, and tall black boots with laces. And of course, always the hat. She also has a gun holster for her .45 revolver, which is always at her hip if she's going out somewhere. Ref for Smoke's gun.

Personality: "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!" ...that's the general attitude that Smoke often portrays when she's with others. All drama aside, she loves to party and have a good time. Much of the time, though, it's only a cover for how she's really feeling.

Smoke's learned a lot and she's probably going to be a bit more serious this time around. She doesn't want anyone to think of her as the "irresponsible Guardian" anymore.

Her Passion: Morion, the one and only thing she returned from the afterlife for. Though she knows there may come a time when he doesn't need her anymore, Smoke will do her best to make sure he's taken care of in the meantime.

Outlook on Love: Romantic love? What's that? o_O Smoke has known love from her own mother, long ago, and she loves Morion like a son. She had a significant other before she left her old world, but it's one of those things that she just doesn't like to talk about. If it's mean to be, it'll happen... otherwise, why waste time worrying about it? (This also frustrates Morion to no end, because she's not a very good guide on the subject.)

General Likes: Caffeine and nicotine, target practice, long naps, wandering out in the middle of nowhere, parties, manga, bringing home stray animals. And though she doesn't like to admit it, she likes a good fight.

General Dislikes: Thinking about her past, gun jams, doing chores, spiders... and, uhh, being dead. ~_~

Powers and Abilities: She's a sharpshooter -- her aim is deadly. Other than that she's pretty much normal.*

** Note: apparently Smoke has a few abilities she doesn't understand yet, as part of her 'requirements' for being given new life. One of these is the ability to sustain extremely large amounts of damage before going unconscious. Killing her would be another matter entirely. Also, she can (and will be required to) reap souls, but only from those who are scheduled to die. Such is the price she pays for her return to a physical form.

Weaknesses: Smoke is prone to becoming easily addicted to things, such as cigarettes or the Home Shopping Network. o_O She's also prone to being lazy.

And of course, she has that whole "deal with Death" thing to worry about...

Quote:
Rionne -- As Morion's soul-twin, Rionne, understandably, is the Fa'e Morion cares about the most. It's impossible for him to deny that. But a part of Morion despises Rionne simply out of fear. Time will tell if the two can forge a bond that will see them both down the paths that lie ahead.

Purr-Purr
-- Fear and regret. Morion still cares for Purr deeply, but he dreads having even the simpliest of contact with her. He would rather banish himself from Gaia entirely than risk hurting her again.

Mordath -- Since Smoke's return, Morion's mind is muddled in regards to many things -- and a big one of those things is Mordath. Morion remembers that they used to be Oath-brothers long ago, he remembers the connection between Mordath and Purr, and he remembers that Mordath had a fondness for Astaroth. Is it even feasible to hope for forgiveness or understanding?

Astaroth -- *.....confusion, such confusion, I MUST be hallucinating....* Denial. Sorrow. Regret. Memories and feelings toward Astar have become faint and muddled. They must belong to Rionne now.

Raeith -- A true friend and confidant. Morion's memories of her are still strong, and he wonders if she has forgotten about him. It's been so long...

Riven -- Morion recalls Riven as true friend and one of the wisest of the Fa'e.

Aylana -- Morion's 'sister'; he remembers that she was caring and compassionate toward him when he needed it most.

Kia -- Another Fa'e whom Morion considers close family. Kia could always make him smile.

Dawna -- ...her voice haunts his dreams. He doesn't know what's become of her, and it makes him sick with worry. Morion's nickname for Dawna was "Em," short for Emerald, and they were close friends growing up. Morion loved her as a sister and it might've been more, but now....


More will be added as Morion reconnects with many faces both old and new.

Stages of Growth

Baby Morion
As a baby Morion came fully linguistic -- he was already bossing Smoke around!
Toddler Morion
As a toddler, Morion wanted to investigate everything he could get his hands on...
and ask a million questions about everything, too.
Kid Morion
Books were always his passion, and he was often seen in Fa'e HQ with a stack of them in his lap.
Teen Morion
As a teenager, Morion was still the straight-arrow, studious type
(except when Purr-Purr was involved, that is)...
Youth Morion
Morion (or was it Rionne?) had accepted his nobility fully as a youth, and his natural leadership was not to be denied.

...return to Teen
Smoke's return and his soul-split with Rionne caused a serious regression.
((Emo-Morion v2.0!))
