Name:
CHANARONG -Dominion-
Sagat's Theme - Street Fighter 4
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Specie: Shinyo
Physical Description: A large pink dragon standing about 6 feet tall. His hair is a pale salmon color with blond bangs and lotus-shaped locks on the side. Extending from his head are tough wood-like antlers. He wears a purple scarf bound by a yellow jewel, gauntlets plated with blue armguards, and an ornate mask covering his entire face. Lining his tail seems to be grass-like fur. His wings seem much like a butterfly's wings.
Personality: A reserved individual, it's difficult to just earn his trust. He can also get defensive of Camilia, especially with Damian, whom he deems unfit for her at times. He's pretty good at keeping secrets, though. Apparently, he's a really good chef - sure, the thought of eating something cooked with a venom is unnerving, but it is safe to eat.
History: When dragons finally returned to Ryuga, Chanarong was one that managed to stay one step ahead of Damian and Lucas, claiming whatever the Guilts were after. He seems to know where Camilia might be, but he forbids the two any knowledge of her whereabouts. What could he be after...?
Equipment: His armguards, Khaen Phli, are made of a solid mithril-steel alloy. They're good for offense and defense.
Abilities: Like any experienced Ryuga dragon, he is skilled in oneirites, particularly floral oneirites, which deal with life energy. He seems able to use psychokinesis as well. As for close-range combat, he makes use of every part of his limbs, one attack chaining into another (e.g. going from a spearhand to an elbow slash), allowing a fighting style built for pressuring the foe and throwing him/her off-guard.
Other: As a Shinyo, Chanarong's fur has similar photosynthetic properties to plantlife. He is not used to extreme temperatures, but is working with an oneirite to regulate that. Also, he seems able to generate more oneirite power through his butterfly-like wings.

Trivia
- "Chanarong" is a Thai name meaning "experienced warrior".
- His specie name, Shinyo, comes from "shinnyo", Japanese for "absolute truth". It's also similar to "sennyo", which means "elf".
- His instrument projection is a clarinet.
- Shinyos like Chanarong have butterfly-like wings, a common theme in Dominion. Butterflies are often related to dreams and the choice to transcend, to handle whatever changes come to life.
- The flower-lock in his mane resembles a lotus, a flower symbolizing purity and undiminished beauty.
- Cooking with venom isn't unheard of. In fact, venom is only hazardous if injected into the bloodstream. Heat from cooking and digestion both break down the protein configuration of venom, a process called "denaturing".
- "Saeng sichmphu" is Thai for "pink light".
- Shroom Curse is somewhat similar to the mushroom status in EarthBound, sometimes confusing the victim and scrambling directional controls on the field.
- Climate Wave is similar to the Pokémon attack Weather Ball, and works in junction with the other dragons' weather-changing oneirites.
- "Bahlohit" comes from the Thai words "baw" (lotus) and "lohit" (blood). It essentially means "blood lotus".
