Description
Age ??? (Soul); 23 (Body)
Blood Type unknown

Cry is a Dragon Deity embodying the emotion of mourning. She is considered to be of some Scandinavian or Icelandic descent.

Appearance

Cry is a young woman with pale green hair, pale and scarred skin, and yellow irides. Like all Dragon Deities, she possesses horns and a scaled tail. Unlike others of her kin, however, her horns appear to be permanently damaged on both sides, symmetrically lacking large chunks that do not seem to grow back. Her tail is composed of blue scales and a tanner pinkish underside. The tip of her tail often resembles a blue flame.

Personality

Cry is an enigmatic and reserved young woman. She is apparently mute (though it is unknown whether this trait is physical, psychological, or purely voluntary) and only communicates via writing or signing. She tends to embrace brevity and forwardness with her communication.

Being a Dragon of Mourning, Cry tends to cry. However, she sheds tears solemnly, rather than sob or wail. Her mourning is not typically toward any specific person or thing, rather she seems to mourn life itself. Cry once described it on paper as "feeling the mortality of the world as one". Cry can feel the full spectrum of emotions beyond her sorrow, but rarely physically shows it. She tends to express those emotions through writing in the form of short stories and poetry.

Though her divine purpose is to master and temper her embodied emotion, Cry rejects this duty and instead embraces being consumed by mourning.

Name

The name "Cry" is a self-assigned mononym. She claims to have no recollection of any other names, and lacks any form of legal identification to suggest otherwise. When introducing herself to new people, she produces a business card that states her name as signing the letters for "cry" or signing the act of crying usually ends up more confusing than insightful.

Abilities

Being part dragon, Cry has access to draconic abilities and powers. Little is known about the extend of these abilities and powers but thus far, Cry has demonstrated the following:

Unnamed Energy Blast

Cry fires a a massive green energy blast from the palm of her hand.

Horns of Light

Cry is capable of manifesting horns made of energy to replace the missing parts of her physical horns. What this accomplishes beyond obvious cosmetic changes remains unknown.

Trivia

  • Word of God jokes that Cry cannot speak because every time she tries to utter a sound, she accidentally fires an energy blast akin to the "Atomic Breath" used by Godzilla.
  • Cry's body scarring is never explained, but is confirmed to not be the result of abuse or self-harm.
  • There are rumors suggesting that Cry may be unnaturally long-lived even for a Dragon Deity, or perhaps may have reincarnated into the same form multiple times. Cry has never given an answer about this.
