Name: Murasaki

Race: Dragon

Gender: Male

Appearant age: 18-19

Skin tone: Pale

Eye color: purple with dragon-like pupils and strange writings in a circle...like this: http://tinyurl.com/lpltr

Hair: Black with purple highlights

Body type: Thin, but he could never pass as a girl xD. Also, he has a tattoo of kanji 'batsu' <'clan'> on his right wrist. It looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/egs7q (only the sign, without the circle xD)

Face: He changes expressions very often, but usually smirks xD. Also, he covers his eyes with a purple blindfold <like on the sample pictures>.

Clothing: Decorative, but he always wears a kind of pants to his outfits, so no kimonos for him xD xD...well, maybe a hakama, but nothing that looks like a dress/skirt/whatever xD. His clothes are always black-and-purple, and from the style, traditional Korea/China/Japan/Arabia/India, or just something similar, but fantasy-style...

Weapons: In his dragon form he breathes purple fire

Personality/attitude: His personality is a bit similar to Mutare's. Very fond of himself, and very selfish...But add to it a big dose of boredom and some regretful thoughts, and you'll get an exploding mix named Murasaki...

Add-ons in the pic: Bamboos, fans, almost anything oriental, and XXXholic-styled smoke

Short story summary: An old servant of Shavris, who one day just left, and never saw his master again... Maybe one day they'll meet, but Murasaki is sure it was the last time he saw this whiny vampire...
One day, he heard a calling. A calling which he couldn't resist...which brought him to Hell Or Heaven, the citadell of new dragon Gods. To the place, where Mutare and Reira greet him, and said that he was chosen to become one of them - a new god of the reborned world...

Relationships:
With Lied:
Lied was given to Murasaki as an offering for good harvest from people. At first he didn't know what to do with him, so he just placed him in his part of the castle and mostly ignored. But after some time he got used to the boy, and, curious as he is, wanted to know him a bit better...and that totally backfired when Lied got scared, and Saki attacked him x.x. It took a LOT of time for Lied to love Murasaki, but even then he saw him as sort of a monster...
...And then was the Nitta incident. Violent, and more animal than human, the Dragon God of Light was fond of the boy, and raped him. But when he tried to do it second time, Lied, who because of a curse on his voice avoided to speak, cried for help. And Murasaki came, injuring the second dragon quite badly. Nitta's favorite, Hadi, got pretty angry because of that, and asked the Light got of a favor. He summoned one of the stars from the sky, changed it into a human, and put a spell on it to fell in love in Murasaki, wanting him to forget Lied, who Hadi saw as a cause of Nitta's injuries...

With Stareye:
Stareye is the star summoned on earth by Hadi. He doesn't have a name, and never got a real one. Later on he's just called 'star-eyed' by Murasaki, because of his shining eyes. He's the most wonderful being ever seen, graceful and pure, created in the way to grab Murasaki's attention...but it failed, since the dragon already loved Lied. Stareye had quite a pitiful life, loving someone so much, but being completely ignored....finally, his sadness combined with the spell on him, made Murasaki notice him a bit more...and that was enogh, from word to word he became fascinated with this boy...and finally, they were together. For one day, because thinking on what he had done, and how he cheated on Lied, Murasaki decided to leave. The two boys finally found him, living in one of the citioes, and mae him come home...but a wise idea, it wasn't. It didn't happen immediately, but saddened Lied commited suicide, leaving Murasaki to his rival, sure that Stareye's more suited for his beloved one, than he'll ever be. Murasaki, when saw his body, became insane for many, many years, just sitting with his body in his arms, causing firestorms around the world...and when he awoke, without a word he took the body to the roof, and change himself into the Essence of Fire, taking Lied's ashes, and leaving the material world... Stareye, who tried to stop him, was badly burned then. But what he didn't know was, a part of Murasaki's soul, that loved him, stayed behind in the God Palace...

Add-ons in the pic: Bamboos, fans, almost anything oriental, and XXXholic-styled smoke

Almost all of the clan members were killed, and the rest was sold as slaves. He became a great bard, famous of his singing talent. But his third owner, a woman, was jealous that he doesn't sing only for her, but for anyone that asks him...She cursed him in a way, that after he says a certain number of words more, he'll loose his speech for whole eternity...
His fifth owner, to thank the gods for the good harvest, sent him as a gift to the Dragon God Murasaki. At first, the god saw him only as a nuisance, but after some time they became lovers... The young boy somehow felt in love with the god, and after a long time, decided to sing a song for him...It was his most beautiful song ever, but the last word of the song was the last word of the curse, and the boy was silenced forever...
