Solsticus is the current Commander of the 1st District, and the Heir to the leading fire clan, Golden Flare.
Personality
⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺
Lynerius has described Solsticus as two-faced, someone who fakes a friendly demeanor to those he can use, including his own mother. This behavior he extended to Hayze also, despite his contempt for dark dragons, to appease Lynerius in hopes of a strong ally.
History
⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺
Solsticus was not the firstborn child to Solari. He is her third child; the younger brother of Soleni, and an older brother who died young before Solsticus was born. Solsticus was given the same name as that brother.
Though Soleni is alive and Solari's firstborn - and firstborns are ideally Clan Heirs - she is lame and cannot walk nor fly. This is due to a disease that developed as she matured. Though she was raised to become Matriarch, due to her condition she was unnamed Heir in favor of Solsticus.

Abilities
⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺
Element
With his eyes set on the Warfang Guard, Solsticus had a focus on attaining higher elemental mastery. Thanks to his access to the best training a fire dragon could get, he advanced quickly. After discovering his element at 6, he reached Skilled by age 34. Here, however, he would prove to not progress further. As it turned out, the more important quality for his work was his way with people, not his strength. Though unable to progress further, he maintains his current mastery.
Magic
After hitting a wall with his element, Solsticus turned to Magic to fill the void. He advanced slower here due to his desire to maintain his elemental mastery, and reached Intermediate at age 61. Though he could reach higher if he allowed his element to decline, he favors Fire to Magic and chooses to maintain this balance.
Physical
Solsticus is slightly taller than average for a fire dragon. He is somewhat athletic, but notably of a sleeker build.
He is short-sighted and has to wear glasses constantly.
Relationships
⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺
Solari
Solsticus is loved by his mother. Though she wishes her firstborn could be heir in his place, she stands by him. Yet at the same time, she is haunted by his darker secrets, and fears his politics.
In the other direction, Solsticus is kind and considerate of his mother, though some would say this is a farce, manipulation.
Soleni
Solsticus also treats his sister with respect and compassion, helping her around and doting on her. Soleni finds this a little excessive, but accepts it. She does not feel the gestures are genuine, but elects to not antagonize him.
Tokamis
Solsticus' young betrothed.
To be added.
Trivia
⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺
His name is based on the word 'Solstice'.
His name being inherited from his deceased brother is based on my (DragonOfIceAndFire) own family. My maternal great grandmother named one of her sons after a son she had lost before him.
