He has built himself upon mistakes. But regardless he is only instinct. Due to this, chaining him down was not the way to tame him. He sleeps, he eats (and he eats very well — the blood spatters go adjacent to where his teeth dig into flesh), he felts the inclination to sire offspring. Only sometimes. He is aware of what he is, but not why he is this way.

[break][break]
Some call him depraved, or evil, or even manage to call him disgusting. But does it truly matter? You are what you eat; and he is only blood and flesh. He is Yami. The silent one. And occasionally the violent one.



Nobody knows where exactly Yami came from, but he was found half-buried and hidden from view in heavy snow. The only thing that kept the being inside of the egg from perishing from the cold was the heavy casing of hardened lava that kept him warm enough to gestate. His existence was kept hush-hush for many years. The dragon hatchling transformed into a young, wild-eyed boy.[break][break]

He grew up sheltered. Not in the way one parent coddles its child, but in a way how he was isolated. Even starved, sometimes. He became rebellious as he grew, fatally injuring his handlers (biting down, occasionally removing a limb). He would not be broken.[break][break]

But like any Spectre plaything, he was restrained. Chained down until he broke. But not by insanity; from hunger. All his actions were motivated by his stomach and he needed to eat, and eat often. He didn't care about freedom, or spreading his wings. And it was a good thing to use against him. Much like a dog he was trained with a strict regimen. It was their own little pet project to see how far they could push him. He was resilient enough to take the pressure... and sometimes the pain. Decades of such it became routine. Until finally he was revealed to the outside world as a completed and successful objective.[break][break]

He was made, not born. They gave him a human name to go by (but Yami was his name). Kill for us, they said.[break][break]

“I'll do whatever you want.” He replied.

His true form is a pitch black dragon, its scales seeming almost metallic the way they shine. His form is very large, coming up to 61 meters (the equivalent of 200 feet tall) in height with a 96 foot wingspan. There are only two powers exclusive to this ability: flight and echolocation — which allows him to locate prey or objects in front of him that he cannot see.



He can produce a sizzling, poisonous acid via his saliva. Being injected with this when he bites will immediate cause the flesh to break down and liquefy. Yami can also stop generating said acid at will.



Yami uses a form of magic typically used for selfish, self-serving and / or nefarious purposes. Though it is not necessarily “evil” magic per se, dark arts tend to focus toward destruction, harming, cursing and otherwise complicating the lives of other people while advancing the user's own state. This ability is inherited by all black dragons such as him, and he wields it excellently, in and out of his dragon form. He mostly uses defensive spells, however he's not against cursing others and making their lives Hell.



He owns a katana named Yami no kishi (lit. “The Knight of Darkness”). The origin of how and where he got this sword is unknown, but like it says on the can: he uses is proficiently. He can imbue his usage of Black Magic into the blade as well for a more devastating effect instead of simply casting spells.



All thirty-two teeth in Yami's mouth are serrated and pointed, his canines curving inwards, and he can unhinge them at any time, much like a serpent. He can easily rip flesh and bone to shreds, even tear through metals and other hard substances easily. He prefers to attack using his claws and his fangs. Because when he kills, he kills to eat.



Three inch claws that can grip onto prey tightly and keep them immobile while he disables them. They also help with traction in different landscapes. But they're mostly for attacking and other offensive maneuvers.
