Sol, post-DemonCore Project. His face was burned in the battle before his capture and the area around his eye, as well as his teeth and gums, were replaced using tissue-nanosynthesis and cybernetics. His teeth are a SASR experimental alloy. Small holes around his eyes and on the bare-part of his forehead are implanted into the skin so that his goggles can be fitted and locked into place. With his goggles attached, tiny electrodes from these receivers activate and paralyze the muscles in his face so that the goggles stay more-or-less in the same position over his eyes in order to project 3-D imaging directly into his retinas, complete with his own HUD, and imaging in regular light, thermal, infrared, electromagnetic, and etherial.

Looks like you put a lot of thought into this. Cool stuff! I'm a real fan of artists/writers who put thought into the technology of their work; it's hard for science-types to enjoy sci-fi stuff when it doesn't seem plausible. Though this also makes it hypocritical of me to admire dragons... XD
The one mounting point on his eyelid seems like it would have to move a lot though... or maybe dragons don't blink? I don't know.

The receivers aren't fixed to his skull; they're implanted into his skin and, from there, interface with a neural network which replaces his nervous system. So yeah, they can move around when he's not wearing his facepiece, but when it's attached, the paralyzers work to keep his face from moving and making expressions.
Yeah, I thought about that while designing it. =P It would make a bit more sense to have it bolted directly to his skull for structure and stability, but with the facepiece off, he would strain to make any expressions at all. Decided it would be more practical (and creative!) to work with the subcutaneous implants and the paralyzer design. *grin*
