 Special Abilities: 

+ Two forms: Dragomir is able to change into his secondary aquatic form sta.sh/0rcm9vk5m12 (ref). Since this is usually a natural ability it's usually triggered by touching water. Not like a small splash or a drop, but it's a danger for school so he wears enchanted jewelry to prevent the transformation. Wouldn't want a spill or a rainy day to make him unable to come to class for a few hours.

+ Shapeshifting (Nerfed by jewelry):
Along with the above ability he is able to very subtly change his looks. Things like hair colour and length can be adjusted as well as fins or spikes (currently has spikes jutting from behind the ear as a sort of decorative touch.) He is very limited in what he can do and would not be able to make drastic changes like large gains or loss in weight, height, or proportion (with jewelry on). There are a lot of risks associated with pushing himself to expand this ability but he is already starting. Due to being around other shapeshifters it's made him realize he'd rather try and learn it while he has help. 

-With jewelry off he has a much bigger range but it's limited to things already practiced. 

+Energy sensing: He is able to pick up on trace amounts of energy. He is sensitive to environmental changes and any object that gives off an energy or aura (think enchanted or with magical power) will be picked up on by him. He is generally not able to tell good from bad and can figure out the source. Sometimes this ability can be very annoying or overwhelming so he prefers to avoid crowds when possible. 

 Likes:

+Obsessing over things…. Dragomir has an obsessive streak and tends either care way too much or not at all. He picks up and quickly drops obsessions like the seasons change but he enjoys it more than anything. Getting excited about things really gets him in a good mood.

+Marble collecting! The one interest he's managed to hold onto is collecting marbles. He's not really sure what it is about them, but he loves them. He keeps them in clear containers so he can see them and will often carry a few with him to mess with or play with. He's also been known to give them out from time to time, but is always upset when the recipient loses it.

+Fish. They are delicious and fun to look at. Superior to cats and dogs. 

+People who are interesting. Anything to cure that boredom right? 

+Being with people. He might get overwhelmed in a crowd, but he very easily gets lonely and dislikes being alone too long. He was raised in an environment that made him get used to never being alone so it can be uncomfortable for him. 


 Dislikes:

-Being criticized negatively. He is very sensitive and will often take things the wrong way. It's very hypocritical of him since he often criticizes others without realizing it. 

-People who are too handsy. He can deal with it here and there but will get incredibly irked if you touch him too much before you’re close friends. Due to his culture he takes a long time to warm up to people and will prefer to initiate contact if he decides you are past his mental block. He can't handle being startled either, it can throw him into a panic if he's touched without seeing it coming. 

-Tight clothing. Way too restricting and awful. 

-Feeling unwanted or ignored. It gets to him really quickly. 

-His legs. He just hates them. 


 Personality: Relaxed/Fun/Friendly//Obsessive/Unaware/Stubborn

[Dragomir is a relatively relaxed person at his core. He is the type of person to be friendly and playful until pushed away. He is very easily hurt by criticism and will probably try to passively avoid talking to you in the future if you make him upset. Either that or try to talk to you directly, it depends on the day of the week. On the other hand he is a person who can be very clingy in terms of his likes, causing him to have an obsessive personality. So his room is pretty much filled with his collections, products of his obsessions. (Mostly marbles like man he has it out for those marbles.) Overall, fairly chill but will probably rub others the wrong way at some point and then avoid being criticised for it.]

 History: TL;DR go

Dragomir grew up somewhat away from the rest of his kind. Normally his species is very feral and focuses on survival underwater. His parents were a bit unusual for the species and from a young age decided to explore the world and learn about other cultures. Because of this they raised him as well as his sister Rita in a cave system modified to function as a home. In that "home" they also house their following, other Semi-Aquatics who have given up life in the wild to become more civil.

Dragomir was always a bit uncomfortable with this. On one hand, being raised with the comforts of living life on land and without constant fear of death has spoiled him and he enjoys these comforts, but on the other he dislikes how his parents shun the original lifestyle of their people and call it barbaric. He is a very live and let live kind of person in most cases so he finds it difficult to agree with his parent's snobbish morality. Despite this he was never one to put up a fight and will general follow their will. Because he is their first born, he is expected to someday take over this following and also help them convince others of their kind to give up on the wild. He doesn't really want to do that but he hasn't told them that. 

You could describe his relationship with his parents as strained, but not so bad. They are not very interested in him as a person, they tend to see him as a tool. He's fine with the distance that puts between them though he does feel quite disconnected. His relationship with his younger sister Rita is actually much worse. Dragomir had been past his touch aversion with her, but one day she was a bit jumpy and ended up biting him in annoyance. Ever since then Dragomir has been pushing her away and she keeps pushing back, trying to get him to accept her again but he just can't understand why she did it. He plays nice now, but mostly just to get her off of his back. 

Most recently Dragomir's parents decided to send him to Brookview Academy, a place where students of all different races and specie could learn together. It was a perfect setup for them to introduce him into the world outside of their bubble. He wasn't really sure what to think, in fact despite his strained relationship with his family he actually didn't want to go. He just went along with it anyway since he doesn't put up a fight, now here he is! He enjoys it more than he ever thought, but is getting annoyed that his parents seemed to have dumped him here and now they don't care to check up on him outside of an occasional letter.

 -Additional Information:

+ He will have a very long lifespan. Right now he's only 16, which is about the same in a human equivalent, but around the time he hits 20 his aging (mentally and physically) will slow down dramatically. The average lifespan of his species is long as hell, but they're by no means immortal. In fact the only reason we KNOW that it's very long is because the ones who wander outside of the wild will continue to live on for a long time. 

+ He is demi(pan)romantic and asexual.
