Last of the new guys for my future campaigns and stories. This is Slate Wilder, a bird dragon (can be drawn anthro as well, never has wings).

Slate is the no nonsense character. He can come across as blunt or rude, but he means well. He is very private, and only a small few know his past or anything about him. Loyal to a fault. When he drinks, he gets possessive and defensive about those he holds close. Some say there's a soft side in there, but no one in my cast has seen it yet canonically. He's a smoker. No idea how that works for dragons. He makes a mix of roars/snarls, pigeon coos, and purrs.

"IRL" AU: Owns a store called Keeper's Curiosities, which sells a mix of antiques, odd finds, and weapons (mostly knives). Percival (my kobold character) works for him.
Fantasy AU: Insanely high strength stat warrior, decent constitution. Can throw a goblin 3 zip codes away. Carries a scimitar and shield, but proficient in two handed weapons like pikes and halberds as well. Tanky, but surprisingly nimble. Equally mysterious, but much more willing to throw down.
