Name: Emberfang
Nicknames: Ember
Sex: Male
Age: Adult (between 18-23 years old in human years)
Breed: Heatface dragon (My breed; don't use without permission)
Personality: Emberfang has a very serious attitude about things and he is determined to get what he wants. Though not hot-headed, Emberfang is quite stubborn, snappy, and easily annoyed; Ember believes that you only get what you want in life if you work hard, something his father taught him as a young one, and continues to live by this rule. Ember's straight forward personality manages to get many others angry at him, but this doesn't make him wary; he speaks his mind after all. If Emberfang gets knocked down, he'll get back up and blow who ever kicked him to the ground away with a blast of heated air; he's a fighter, but tends to try to steer away from violence.
Parents: Windsoarer (mother) and Darkbane (father)
Siblings: None
History: Emberfang was born on one of the Broken Peninsula, near the island of the Dragons (where the Nightfury originated in my story), but his kind and the Nightfury never encountered each other though both dragon species lived only a few hundred miles away from each other.
As a young dragon, Emberfang learned about how the Nightfury were too proud of a race from his father and soon took up Darkbane's theory that the rare dragons' arrogance was what caused the destruction of their homeland.
When he turned three years old, Ember dismissed that idea and believed that the Nightfury weren't an arrogant race, but thought that if they had worked more as a team during the invasion of their land, they could have defeated the Vikings. He kept hold to this for the rest of his life and only saw Vikings as "little two-leggers" and only though this because of a few cave paintings he's seen in the caves of his homeland. Soon, Emberfang found out that the Vikings weren't "little two-leggers" when they turned to his home after they overran Dragon Island. Like every other Heatface and some of the other breeds of dragons who shared the Peninsula, Emberfang fought back against the humans, but he eventually had to flee because their forces had weakened. The fate of his mother, father, and friends remains a mystery to him.
On his journey to unknown lands, Emberfang almost died multiple times because his wings would give out on him and he'd plunge into the ocean; but each time he did, he either managed to pull himself back to the skies or he found pieces of drift wood to keep afloat on.
After a few days out at sea, the golden-scalled reptile floated to the island he'd heard about before from his father: CobbleStone. The largest village on the island was named after the piece of land it was built on, and Eberfang made sure to keep away from there because of the humans living in the village. After months of living off of CobbleStone's wildlife and some of the villager's supplies, Emberfang flew off to another island that was pretty close to the stone one; the Vikings there called it Berk. Two days after making his home in its forests, Emberfang was confronted by another dragon and its rider. Only the second half of the encounter suprised and enraged him; what in the world was a human doing commanding a dragon? And a Nightfury of all things! Ember fought the bigger dragon, only he nearly lost his life after trying to get the human and he fled.
Months later, Emberfang started to live near the village and got some information on what was going on there: After year long wars, the inhabitants of Berk and the dragons were finally able to set aside their differences and live together. He was disgusted at the idea and stayed as far away from the village, only coming near it to hunt and steal the town's stock, as much as he could.

Tamer/Rider: None

Enemies: Toothless and Hiccup are who he considers threats to him; Green Death is about his only enemy
Height: He's 3'6" tall and about 2 1/2 feet long (excluding tail)

Marking colors: Pale pink
Eye color: His scleras are pale yellow and his irises are yellow-green; his pupils are black
Tongue and mouth color: They're both black like they've been charred
Element: Fire
-His breath comes out a gouts of a lava-like substance that is hot enough to melt the rocks of his island home
-Besides spitting lava, Emberfang can also blast enemies away with a heated gust of air
Stelnghths
His breath
-Emberfang's lava-breath melts through anything that it comes in contact with, but only if the items are highly flammable they melt faster than things that are not
His fangs
-They are highly toxic which enables him to kill his victims more easily
His knowledge of Vikings and other creatures
-His intelligence keeps Ember from being caught by Vikings and other dragons, and this also helps him to hunt down animals and know if they are harmful to eat/attack or not
Weaknesses
Flying
-He is very fast when it comes to flying, but only for short distances; Emberfang's wings aren't large enough to carry his 1100 pound body for more than a few miles, and traveling this way usually results in disasters
Water
- Emberfang cannot swim and panics whenever he's in deep water, which results in the dragon almost drowning himself if no one is there to save him
Plants
-He can't digest most plants and must eat meat most of the time, though he does substitute berries at times
Likes: Hunting, achieving his goals, he thinks Atlas is alright for a Nightfury, raw meat, being wild, his island, volcanos, heat, hot and sunny days, CobbleStone Island (despite its human inhabitants), working hard to get what he wants
Dislikes: Cheaters, snow, cool climates. cloudy days, icebergs, humans/Vikings, most Nightfury, when he looses a kill to other dragons or the rodents, vermin, Hiccup, Astrid and their friends, the inhabitants of Berk, Nightfury, Toothless, flying because it doesn't get him where he needs to be in time and it's tedious work (not that he minds, but...)
Other: His pupils are silted like a cat's, Ember has poisonous fangs, but only the long canines carry the toxin; he has twelve clawed toes all together, three on each foot
Relation to the How to Train Your Dragon universe: Emberfang currently lives in Berk and has fought Toothless before.
