ED-1437: Elder Han Lau

A master with with the arts with his nimble fingers, Han Lau creates beautiful caligraphy paintings and woodblock carvings, using his light illustions and metal warping skills to create moving sculptures and light shows. He is also a very skilled tattooist, having learned the art from a skilled humanoid companion when he was a young hatchling. 

He speaks with purpose and a heavy accent, and is often fond of smoming from a long curved pipe he fashioned himself. He is highly intelligent, and while he can hold his own in a fight, he is no more a fighter then his eventual chosen rider Ryu, pacifistic and fragile souls at heart. 

His vanity and pride are kept in check for the most part, but that doesn't stop it from raising its ugly head at all. He can get easily offended if people do not understand his creations or does not show enough grattitude, either from gifts or by the group doing them a favour - for that reason, he cannot stand to be around reckless and uncultured feral or unbound dragons above a hundred years old. As far as he's concerned unity is peace of both mind and spirit, and to be unbound is to be wild and untrustworthy. 

He is very proective of Ryu, especially when he is in his shifted and therefore vulnerable state. He enjoys entertaining the tender blooms of hope and romance in his soul, and is happy to be used as a tool for the cursed prince to judge those whom he has not met yet for him. To see if they meet him, and therefore them all, harm or if they are merely a harmless passerby. 

He is the reason Ryu and Blue Ginger found eachother again, even when they were not able to recognise their ex prince ward in his beastial form
