Red Fatalfire by LillyLightstar

Eyy it's my OC #LSRed, a guy I haven't drawn since 2015 who seriously needed an update X'D

Name: Red Fatalfire
Age: ???
Height (Horns not included): 9 ft
Magic: Black Life

Red is quite the mysterious dragon, as no one really knows if he was born or where he came from, he just showed up as a full grown adult nearly 75 years ago and went on a rampage, seemingly being drawn to places where the corruption hadn't tainted the world and destroying them, but something in him gradually changed over time, and he's been serving as a leader for the resistance for 60 years.

In his past, he'd use his magic to absorb the life out of things around him, or fire blasts of his magic at people, in most cases the result of both being his victims would turn to stone or dirt. There are rumors of other, more horrifying things he did, but Red can't remember much more than that, as his memories of those dark times are blurred and hazy in his head. Now, he's been trying to find new, creative ways to use his magic to help others.

As the saying goes in Talorai, "Nothing bearing the color red will remain evil for long..."

Red is generally a rather carefree guy, he's seen and caused a lot of death in his life, so it takes a lot to get to him. He loves frogs.

I have to say, some things about him might change over time, as I'm still trying to work out the magic system and lore for Talorai (his world), and I haven't even thought about him in forever, so I might tweak his personality some as well 'XD But, generally speaking, he's a goofball with a big heart who nearly killed everyone and is now a somewhat amnesiac, and the few times he gets serious, he's scary serious.

Red's theme: Death Mountain ~ The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

So far it seems only a few people are interested in actually joining the RP, but that's fine, I'm still working on a lot of stuff for it anyway, so it's going to be a loong time, I think, before a first session will ever get posted XP
I still gotta work on maps and stuff too, they'll come eventually

(I didn't bother drawing his scales here--I knew he'd be a pixel monster already, the scales would only make it worse! But, he does have scales similar to my other dragons, like Crimson or Alaviron)

Re// The hair is the most fun to do, so many ways to play with it. Thank you!

It is kinda funny xD
I been listening to it all day, I have the Tyrant song stuck in my head.

I haven't really listened to any of Birkin's themes. The tyrant one just grabbed my attention when I was watching a playthrough.

Tyrant (Mr. X) is so cool too, he's just a great thing to have in a game, where he constantly chases you. I hope they remake Nemesis

Re// I really want to play RE 2, the game looks amazing, but I don't own any consoles for it xP

Mr.X definitely adds a new element, he keeps up the pressure and your anxiety xD

I'll have to check that song out! Have you listened to Resident Evil 2 Remake OST - Hunk's Theme?

It's so good, the beat is awesome and the extended version is the best for when you're drawing or daydreaming.

I'm trying to get better at writing stories, so it was a fun little exercise. x)
Hopefully I'll be able to get to it more in the future, we'll see, it takes discipline sometimes x'D

Re: Thanks for appreciating the names xD

Ah yeah I do get that. The 3DS just isn't the best at showing the details with how small it really is. xP I think what helps me is to use bold colors and contrast to ensure the details I make actually stand out.
You still do a fantastic job with all those details of the individual scales. I'm not sure, but I feel like it may help you out to focus on which details you want to stand out most, and then just work on those areas. Not only will you save a lot of time, but the details that matter will be more noticeable. The simpler the big picture is, the more the details stand out. x)

Re// Their ranks are predetermined the moment of conception, but once the Niironox is born, their horns won't change to their rank until they reach puberty (12-14 yrs).

No, if a pack was only Warrior ranked, their horns wouldn't change. I left a post for Alk on a similar thing:

"A Beta could attack a Warrior, but even that is risky for the small guys/girls. A one on one is almost certain death, unless the Warrior is very weak/injured. Even then, it's a gamble, a risk.

Betas will often form their own packs and are usually the ones responsible for large numbered packs. By doing this, they form a bond and learn who is the best suited leader. One or two Betas will take over leading.

When their numbers grow big and their pack bond strong, is when Alphas need to be on high alert. These low ranked packs will ambush an Alpha, when the time is right. Usually waiting until the Alpha is secluded or they've picked off a good chunk of the Alpha's pack.

The Alpha then, would be in a fight for his/her life. Literally. If the Alpha dies, then whoever killed him/her. Receives his/her rank.

As I said above, sometimes Beta packs have 2 Leaders, the leaders will usually fight to the death and the victorious one will give the Alpha the killing bite.

The first thing that happens is the horns of the Beta fall off. Over the course of the next week, he/she will rapidly grow in size and strength. At the end of the week, the new Alpha is in full size, strength and his/her powers are much more brutal.

And the new Alpha will have its own pack, that's why they bond as Betas. The Betas will be loyal to the Alpha to the end.

Only a few Niironox have an instinct to be Alpha, all Niironox have an instinct to follow someone. They're naturally social creatures and without it, would likely waste away and die."
---------------------------------------------
That should also answer why there's such a huge size difference, Beta's are more cowardly and submissive. If a Beta feels its Alpha is weak or unfit, the Beta /won't/ try and kill it, instead it would likely leave, to find a stronger pack.

That doesn't apply for all though

In the case of Rea, her two Beta's are loyal to her until the very end. Even though she failed to save her pack, to protect them, and it's caused her to have confidence issues. They still love and respect her, and would follow her to the ends of the Earth.

Also I like big and powerful, I wanted the Alpha's to be large and in charge. Alpha's naturally have an intimidating aura, best seen in Alpha Males, the Males can silence another or come across intimidating with simple eye contact.
-
It actually benefits a pack to have small members,

I'm gonna use Rea a lot as an example.

Her pack was found at the edge of a forest, near a vast ocean and they'd often sun bathe on the rocks. Niironox usually set up a territory and don't leave it, unless forced too.

Smaller Niironox are perfect for moving undetected, they're small and light on their paws. Rea's pack would cake themselves in dark mud and patrol their borders like this. If they sensed someone coming, they'd hide themselves amongst the rocks or trees and look like boulders. Their tail lights would also be caked in mud, to help hide themselves.

Re// Alpha's are the brute force, leaders and brains. In charge of major decision making, controlling and maintaining the pack.

Warriors are designed to be a balance between Alpha and Beta, they aren't as strong as Alpha's and aren't as weak as Beta's. They're the middle ground, they would be more combat based, in charge of keeping intruders out and the territory safe.

Beta's aren't combat designed, at least, not well. They can fight if need be, but are stronger in large numbers (as said in the Beta pack example). They would patrol the territory, day and night, taking turns with other Beta's. Once an outsider was spotted, they'd use howls/yips/other canine sounds to alert the pack.

Also a little note, the horns for all ranks, serve a purpose. They aren't just for decoration~ They hone a Niironoxes senses, I'll explain later~
