[??] and Precious - Collab Input
Who they are:
  • [??] is without a name but currently responds to most summons and suiting nicknames. She usually refers to herself in third-person as "this one". She is a modest traveling merchant selling unclaimed wishes from an empty satchel.
  • Precious is her bonded dragon, whom she's raising and loves like a son.
What they look like:
-[??]-
  • Her kind have been called many things, but she herself resembles a very expressive and animated, short, person-sized, dark Siamese cat with labradorite-blue eyes.
  • Precious describes her as caramel colored with warm soot capping her extremities. And, in the right lighting, she is. But she's truly darker and often confused for a black cat, especially with all her layers on.
  • Her apparel is humble and foreign in design and style, set in worn neutral tones or very faded colors. She usually wears a cowl with slits for her ears over a mantle, shawl, and simple tunic over her traveling trousers with shoes that protect her padded feet from the ground without confining them.
  • Her dark-tipped tail is usually visible and in motion, but she rarely thinks about it.
- Precious-
  • Precious is a growing black dragon with inky, raven-black scales and golden eyes like bright glowing embers.
  • Black smoke emits from his mouth when he eats and if he stretches just right, a golden glow is visible from beneath his scales like a crack peeking through - this becomes harder to see as he gets older.
  • His main horns stretch back and swoop regally, the secondary set is a little straighter, lesser hooked horns line his back, head, and shoulders
  • His body has a strong, athletic build with legs sturdier than his wings and his tail. (His tail subconsciously mirrors [??]'s but he also he doesn't think about it.)
  • Precious holds himself tall with excellent posture and moves with intent and determination
Truths:
  • [??] doesn't need a name but may accept individual or affectionate nicknames
  • She won't accept or seek easy wealth or extravagant gifts despite her circumstances. Precious will accept such offerings graciously.
  • Wishes require payment
  • Mystery bag wishes are intended to be fun and a surprise, even if they're mediocre or simple.
  • Wishes are not to be decided by the recipient. (There's so many ways to craft or discover an item of your choosing, enjoy the mystery story-device element.)
  • Stealing the bag may be a fun encounter; however, the bag must be returned - or will return - in a reasonable amount of time. Only one item can be retrieved in this circumstance but previous truths apply. (You've been warned.)
  • There are reasons things are as they are.
  • Precious will discover his first power in time.
  • Precious has only begun his journey.
  • [??]'s dialect is due to translating her native tongue to this one and her current chosen path. She will likely only use first-person or personal identifying terms around Precious.
  • [??] has a few surprising talents. (We'll see if they come up.)
  • Change is inevitable.
Possible - but not limited to - interactions:
  • Purchase a wish -
  • Come to the Mystplaced Wishes or seek out [??] and Precious in or around the village - how can they refuse an eager customer?
  • Seek assistance -
  • Lose something or someone, need advice or help, down on your luck? [???] and Precious' hearts are in the right place and both will endeavour to be a helping hand, an extra pair of eyes, a light in dark times, or share a much-needed meal
  • Shared secrets -
  • Curious to know some of the mysteries? Want to share a few of your own? Should your character deem them trustworthy, perhaps they could be a soundboard, a vault, or a confidante. Or your character theirs.
  • Dragon interactions -
  • Your characters could focus more on Precious. Dragons looking for a playdate or a challenge? Fight or flight, play or prey? Or simply want to interact specifically with him, he'll oblige. Just be wise if and how you regard [??] - even if she isn't present. Precious is also of the opinion that they don't always need supervision - just reasonable caution.
  • Small talk -
  • Little interactions may seem boring, but they can build trust and friendship and maybe lead to greater opportunities later.
  • Business proposal/opportunity -
  • Seeking treasure? Know of a means to get more gold or want to hire [??] or Precious for a job? Earned wealth differs from easy wealth and Precious needs food in his belly. His mother is also good with crowds, advertising, and entertaining.
  • Or shoot over an idea, happy to discuss.
