Description: Terramintin is as strong of build as he is of character, built like a fighter, or an ox, depending on how one cares to look at it. His face is of a pleasant shape with broad cheekbones and a forehead over-shadowed by dark blonde bangs. The rest of his hair is brushed back, kept short and falling casually to either side of his head and covering his peaked ears. His eyes are a smiling blue-green. Like his sister, he has no obvious signs of his calyon heritage other than small double fangs. He possesses neither wings nor claws, but his nails are hard and naturally grow to sharp points.

Mint also possesses shapeshifting capabilities, but the only other form he regularly assumes is that of a chyrith: a pseudo-draconic, pseudo-canine creature of Chytonia. Mint's chyrith form reflects his physical power. People have guessed him to be an oddly adorned Jungle, due to his utter lack of a Poison's malnourished physique. His coat is a rich, kelly green with highlights of mint green and his singular tail splits into three, much like a Jungle's tail, each tipped with a sharp, black claw. The spines running down his back are a similar shiny black. His eyes and hair go unchanged.

Personality: Terramintin is easygoing and laid-back, calmer than a summer's day and more stable than a rock. Only harm or threat to Anova could jolt his even keel, and then he is like a raging dragon. Otherwise, however, he can be seen with an easy smile. He is friendly with most everyone and ready with a kind word or an offer to help somebody out. His favourite pastimes include running, hunting, riding, and the occasional duel.
Biography: Terramintin was born the older of two hybrid children to a calyon father and a chyrith mother, a rare combination and a volatile one. His father was a reclusive but powerful prince of the Tanzanite House, Soredai Tessaril, and he took his chyrith mother in as a human-shifted prostitute out of some warped form of pity. She lived in his underground mansion and might have even come to care about life during her stay, until her death just after Anova's birth. Together they produced first Terramintin, a strong, healthy boy, then Anovadiell, a weak, sickly girl two chyrith cycles later. The pair's mother lived only long enough to see and name the infant before blood loss, fever, and a Poison's general unhealthiness claimed her; her last smile was for newly christened Anovadiell.

Mint never understood Soredai's dislike for Anova. Himself, he found her precious and in dire need of affection. Even from the day she was born, Terramintin was her staunchest defender and closest friend. Soredai's awkward praises of him embarrassed him, especially in the obvious lack of the same towards Anova, so he tried to avoid his father as much as possible. This ended up in him spending either a lot of time with Anova or out of the underground manor. The latter is where he gained his love of duelling, hunting, and running as well as a semi-tamed mount from the dangerous herds of ulgren (horse-like beasts).

When Anova decided she wanted to try her hand at business, Terramintin was all for it. He supported her to his father, backed her before other businessmen, and helped her in any way he could. He still does, when she needs it.

When Anova came to Star City on a business venture, Mint happily went along as both company and bodyguard. Though while Anova focused on establishing business relations in the star station, Mint found himself more interested in the local and off-world dragons, which were nothing at all like the ones back home...and ended up bonding one within a week.

Abilities: The calyons are Chytonia's most powerful magic users, so while Mint's own magic is rather average for his people, it still puts him above other casual magic-users of other races. Terramintin focuses on spells that involve shadows, and rocks and metals. He can also utilize plant magic to a lesser extent.
