King Deepmind
Male : 77 dragon years : King : Asexual aromantic
Tribe(s): NightWing
Appearance (bare-bones): Large, well-kempt. Has regal posture and always wears a straight face, showing very little emotion.
Appearance: Image provided for reference, includes size ref. Base by @stood#4936
He’s averagely built for a sufficiently healthy NightWing but noticeably taller, even for his age. His height is further exaggerated by his proudly tall, straight, and regal posture with his head held high, chest subtly puffed out, tail levitating above the ground, and wings elegantly folded by his hips. His scales are typically clean, his horns and claws are sharpened, and he’s overall well-kempt. He almost always wears a calm, straight face that rarely expresses even the slightest hint of emotion. His old age can be seen in his paled scales, the tugged corners of his lips, the tired yet piercing look in his eyes.

Abilities: Typical NightWing abilities, except for poisonous bite because his mouth mostly lacks dirty bacteria.
Personality (bare-bones): Cold, seemingly stoic, ambitious, cunning, arrogant, focuses on the “greater good” for his tribe more than individuality
Personality: In the eyes of most dragons around him, especially those he’s influenced, Deepmind is a cold, stoic, and experienced elder driven by his manifest duty of restoring the NightWing tribe to full strength, which he’s almost entirely focused on nearly all the time--in his words, the greater good for the tribe comes before him or anyone else. His thoughts and movements are slow and methodical. As a leader, he thinks primarily on a large scale and often ignores individuality. To influence and control the NightWings under him, especially his military forces, he’s highly dependent on propaganda promising tenacious dedication to the “greater good” (achieving a prosperous future for the NightWings) will be rewarded with eternal glory to your name and immortality through stories and memorials. To further assure his subjects they’re on the right path and dissuade them from abandoning it, Deepmind demonizes those who oppose or neglect his “righteous” campaign, often by calling them greedy, cowardly, or bigotted towards NightWings. He prefers solving most situations with diplomacy, but won’t hesitate to exhibit merciless force when diplomacy is out of the question. His strategies are surgical and carefully thought out. However, due to his beliefs of honorable self-sacrifice for a greater cause, he sometimes makes callously rash decisions that endanger the lives of his followers. Also, ever since his victory in the recent NightWing civil war, he has grown arrogant, believing his tribe is unstoppable so long as they have faith and dedication to the “greater good.” He has no bias against hybrids, especially not those with NightWing genes, as he sees more benefits in them than negative traits.
History: As far as recorded history can tell you, Deepmind was nobody until 4 years ago. During the reign of the previous NightWing queen, propaganda posters promoting “the restoration of our tribe” were found plastered all over the Talon peninsula seemingly out of nowhere. They convicted the queen of complacency and shamed the NightWings for standing idly by for so long while their tribe stands as a husk of its former self. Clearly, these posters were calling for someone else to take the throne. For months, the anonymous dragon responsible for these posters was sought after to no avail until, in a bold stunt to mock the queen and her loyalists, it was found that new posters were signed with the name “Deepmind” with a hastily drawn sketch of the supposed author’s face. The moment the queen learned of this, she issued an official public bounty on his head without hesitation, but by then it was too late. His propaganda had long already caught the interest of dragons all around the Talon peninsula. Worse, that bounty haphazardly sent a stern message to all the queen’s subjects, one showing desperation and intolerance of challenge to her rule. This was met with widespread stigma that quickly drew more dragons to Deepmind’s side and soon sparked talk of revolution. Tensions grew across the Talon peninsula until the last straw was finally pulled. Rather than extending an olive branch, the queen retaliated by stationing nearly all her forces at every settlement in the Talon peninsula. In her attempt to quell the situation, she only caused it to boil over into a NightWing civil war between the revolutionists and the loyalists. The bloody war claimed many lives until it eventually came to an end just 6 months ago. Despite expectations, the revolutionists claimed victory. Deepmind, being the one who orchestrated and largely led the revolutionists during the war, was chosen to be the new NightWing monarch. Since then, he’s been working to restore the tribe to full strength and ultimately reform it by any means necessary, be it new laws or conquest.

(add-on) List of changes to the Talon peninsula NightWings brought by Deepmind's rise to power:
- The royal bloodline is no more. The monarch can now be either gender and is chosen through a democratic system.
- Labor has been made mandatory and dragons are assigned jobs they're decided to be best fit for.
- NightWing culture has become largely about pride in the tribe and relentlessly working hard so it can eventually prosper.
- Some NightWings, most commonly those in the military, religiously believe that hard work and dedication to the "greater good" (usually being a prosperous future for the NightWings) no matter the cost will bring eternal glory to your name and immortalize you in stories about your efforts.
