Avery and Menoby *iesnoth

Digital Art / Drawings / Fantasy

What is this new submission system? It's nice...
So, new characters time! Because I started another semester of fiction writing, and I can't turn in fanart for class!
Here we have Avery, the orphaned daughter of a dragon-biologist. She was born with the inability to feel pain, which made her the ideal caretaker for Meno, the last of the dragons.
In this universe, a great war has just ended, in which the land dragons fought with the humans against a race of sea dragons, killing them all. Unfortunately, all of the land dragons were killed as well, except the egg laid right before the fighting ended. Dragons in this world are asexual, but have very tight familial bonds. This is because dragons only have one child in their lifetime, and they have them within the first 50 years of life (dragons live for thousands of years here). The baby is very dependent on the parent for food, warmth, and teachings on how to survive. Babies even use their parents' scales to sharpen their claws on.
Meno treats Avery as he would treat a dragon mother, which causes her daily bodily harm. However, she can't feel it, and so usually stitches everything up herself.
Avery suffers from feelings of loneliness and apathy. Her medical condition of not being able to feel pain has dulled the feelings of pleasure for her, and she sees no reason to life besides caring for Meno, and even that she finds little joy in, but does it out of love for her father.
When a new threat rises, though, a government official is sent to collect Meno so he can fight if another war arises. Though Avery knows she should rebel against the idea, her growing indifference begins to affect her moral compass and a raging inner battle comes to a head. If she gives Meno to the government, she would be free and he would be raised in better living conditions. On the other hand, he's the only family she has left.
I'm not rock solid on the plot yet, but I love Avery's wry, nonchalant character.

And I have a week to write this. I'm gonna die.

I hope so.

~TheAmatuer41 Feb 4, 2013 Student General Artist

It will be, I bet ya...:}}}

This looks really cool and I love the style. She deffenintly gives off a raw "don't mess with me" feel. The story is intriguing.

thanks!

It's a great idea, but I'd like to point out that the neurological inability to feel pain is very dangerous. They can bite their tongues off, be made unaware of broken bones and deadly infections, and ignore other serious medical conditions such as internal bleeding; she can even severely injure her throat by coughing too hard. In the situation you put her in, she can easily die without warning.

*iesnoth Feb 1, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I thought of that, which is half the reason why I thought she'd be a great character. Upon first look people see the inability to feel pain as a benefit, but the story will be exploring how it is a handicap more than a blessing.

~cleverun Feb 2, 2013 Student General Artist

Alright; I just wanted to make sure you understood how dangerous it was. Looking forward to reading it, and good luck!

*iesnoth Feb 2, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you.
