Biography

At first glance, he’s just seemingly a non-tribal miqo’te who may have been raised by hyur. In truth, he’s a dragon lord of a secret secluded land called Sohmne that revered the bond between Hraesvelgr and Shiva and Bahamut and Tiamat, and are descended from the brood of Midgarsormr, having lived in seclusion for centuries since the dragons came to Hydaelyn. Klair’s mother married a hyuran man with mixed blood and established a small sanctuary of land that welcomed those who had acknowledged the bloodline of bloodbearers and dragons alike.

Born to Cosmos and Luka Dratahr twelve years after their first son, Klair lived a rather blessed existence. A prince to the Dratahr family, descendants of the line of Bahamut and Tiamat, so they claim, Klair (birth name Klye Ahm, meaning A Clear Song) is the second heir to the throne of Sohmne-Garyuu, a dragonborn from among a small line of humans that successfully mated- and reproduced with dragons. As such, they have longer lives, but not so long as to surpass human lifespans at their oldest.

Cherishing the tale of Shiva and her love with Hraesvelgr, the land of Sohmne-Garyuu honors the love between dragons and humans, and all who seek aid are welcome- even those in whose veins flows the blood of those that partook in eating Ratatoskr's eyes. Those born of Garyuu are especially gifted in transformative, aetherical and other abilities- though very few show these talents off. The royal family themselves, is known as the Golden Scales- and have existed in a dimension of Hydaelyn few know of, since the Brood-father Midgarsormr came to the star.

When Klair was around 5, Cosmos had a vision where Bahamut and Tiamat warned her about the influence growing in the heart of her older son Krise, the next Brood-lord of Garyuu- and sure enough, she awakened to a terrified retainer and friend of Klair's, bringing news of Klair having fallen off a mountainside while playing and every bone in his body broken. Miraculously, he survived long enough to be transported to the healers of Utakata, traveling Hingan miqo'te in the service of the Land of Sawa, and playmates of Princess Kitsuno Ishida. Once there, the Matriarch, Ouka Yukimura, somehow managed to restore Klair with the surprising aid of her youngest son, Gareki Yukimura who had until then, shown no affinity for aetherial abilities. Completely healed, Klair recovered with them together with his best friend and confidante Jhi'a Feng, and spent the happiest parts of his years as a child with them, supporting them even after the untimely deaths of Ouka and Ibuki.

Krise, on the other hand, was passed over for his ascension to the throne of Sohmne-Garyuu for Klair, who had been chosen by Tiamat, and in his rage, he swore a promise to regain everything he'd lost, the same way Nidhogg tormented the Ishgardians for generations- yet he hid his hatred under a mask of regret and worry. It was then revealed, though unable to be proven, that Krise had pushed Klair off the mountainside, and as a result, his son, Wen Liu, would be taken from him and sent to Sawa to be adopted by the royal family there.

Klair's own memories of the incident were affected by his condition. This would later prove fruitful to Krise, as with Klair's mind shaken, he'd attempt to take full advantage of manipulating him as he pleased. Having craved his older brother's love and respect, Klair admired him and tried to learn what he could from him, never once suspecting his brother meant him harm, until years later, when his deception became clear, causing a rift between brothers.

Despite learning of his brother's treachery, Klair grew into a noble, curious and kind young man- and to protect him from his brother's possible cruelty, his mother allowed him to travel with Jhi'a at his side by the age of 10, and they visited Eorzea where Klair happened upon a little miqo'te baby, named Nayel, living with the Dravanians. Finding him bright-eyed and adorable, Klair returned to visit Utakata with him at the age of 14- bringing Nayel to stay with the tribe, after looking after him on his adventures, and forming a gentle, loving bond between the child and himself. Though quite young himself in human terms, Klair's mental state surpassed them in maturity due to his lineage as dragon, and he was able to acclimate the child to a normal way of life on his travels.

Megumi Yukimura, who had recently become tribe matriarch despite her young age, took Nayel in, together with another young male miqo'te named Ryuh'a they'd found lost around the area, and Klair become something of a surrogate father/older brother to who he would later learn, was actually his own son from an alternate existence- a fact he wouldn't learn of until Nayel was to return to his rightful time, many years later.

In this time, Klair explored the world around him, showing a talent for music and creativity- his voice was beautiful and melodious, enough to calm even the most rampant beast. He'd return regularly to visit Gareki and Utakata, bringing him presents from afar- though as Gareki and him grew as companions, so did Klair's love for him. Gareki's own feelings for Klair were strong, and they both consummated their relationship at last- though they were only mildly hindered when Jhi'a accidentally cheated on Megumi due to a misunderstanding, and Gareki withdrew into himself out of solidarity for his sister.

Undeterred, Klair continued to pursue Gareki and displayed his own loyalty to him- all the while balancing the responsibilities he would later carry as a Dragon Prince, and his desire to sing. Having many adventures, Klair also helped in the defense of Sawa when it was attacked, helping Kitsuno and her brothers escape together with the Utakatans- and to protect him, the brood-mother transformed his body to match the miqo'te he was escaping with, causing Klair minor distress over it, but ultimately allowing him to adapt and enjoy his newfound body.

After many trials and tribulations, both eventually bonded, much to Megumi's chagrin, but she supported them all the same, wanting her brother's happiness above all. Supportive and caring, Klair wanted to give Gareki everything his heart desired, and not wanting him to feel at all pressured by the responsibilities he himself would carry. He encouraged Gareki to pursue his dreams and ideas, while he grew his own skill in weaving and crafting- and of course, performing on his precious lute and lyre. Learning further about the world around them, things couldn't have seemed better, until they unconsciously formed the Flower of the Stars- a sign of their compatibility, and the potential for them to have a child. Shocked by this, Gareki refused to want to have children- and Klair agreed to send the flower to Sawa for safekeeping- Gareki was too young, only nineteen, and they'd barely gotten their way in the world to raise a child now.

They eventually did decide to go ahead and have their child, when they discovered that Nayel- who had been part of their tribe all that time, was actually their blood-born son. Sent to this time for his own protection, they learnt that by not having a child, they'd be placing Nayel at risk. Gareki, who had been learning of time displacement through the core of Alexander, began to understand how this was possible- and saw a future where Klair and him would be separated and destroyed without Nayel's birth. Nayel promised that he wouldn't let anything happen to them, and taking Ryuh'a, who had also been from his original time- returned to their rightful time period, now that they'd been able to avoid the calamity that would follow should Klair and Gareki lose each other.

Things weren't that simple, however- Krise, who had so far been unsuccessful in trying to gain Klair's confidence and trust, realized that he'd have to break his network of support and protection if he ever wanted to regain his place as king. He began with stealing some of Gareki's aether, corrupting it to create a distance between Gareki and Klair through their scent of compatibility and casting doubt on their bond. Klair and Gareki overcame it, after which he attempted to corrupt Nayel- which also failed, with Nayel's intense affinity for aether and his powerful blood between both parents. When everything he attempted failed, he finally turned to stealing the Alexander Core Gareki had used to send Nayel and Ryuh'a back to their rightful time.

And that one fateful night, everything changed, unraveling years of love and trust, and dissolving it into nothing.

-----Deviation.

After the "change", Klair was stripped of his family, love, child and more, his life shifting in existence from after he began his travel. Losing all memory of Garyuu- a ripple effect that subtly changed the knowledge of those close to them, Klair ended up living with the dragons of Anyx Trine until Jhi'a and him reunited and began to travel together.

With the change, not only did Klair never find Nayel, but he never got to know Gareki despite visiting the Utakata tribe once again with Jhi'a, living his life as a gentle wanderer and minstrel with no knowledge of his origins or more. Everyone he ever loved also forgot every accomplishment and bit of care he gave them- and as Krise wanted- he's without those that gave him his motivation and strength, isolated from the world that he'd loved so dearly.

Having nowhere to call home and no family to speak of, and even the dragons around him unable to help, Klair has no place or purpose beyond traveling and wandering, and learning new songs- songs that subconsciously hold a cry for someone who can hear him, to help free the lock around his memories. But it went unheard- and even he didn't know he sought it, until the truth came to light, and worry and tension set upon the young prince as he set to restore what had been lost between him and his beloved.

-----Resolution.

Having discovered that the change was caused by the interference of Krise, hoping to rewrite their history- thanks to Megumi's sensitivity, she was able to break free first and take down one head of the dragon Anankos or Orochi, that had taken possession of Gareki. With the spell broken and time beginning to shift and adjust, Gareki and Klair's memories returned, only to confuse them with the conflicting memories shared by their closest friends. Working fast, however, they began to track down Anankos and his generals, asking Sawa and Owari for their aid in destroying them. The second to last dragon, Agni, faced them in a terrible battle against Klair trying to retrieve his kidnapped son, but once retrieved, the second to final head, Kitsuno's ancestor and the first oracle, Zakuro, begged them to save their own future lest they walk into it to their own deaths and the darkness. With resolution in hearts, Klair and Gareki gave up their bond to their future selves, to protect their son and family, and their home-

And now, they've returned to themselves as innocents, in love and ready to face the world again, and to not fall victim to the mistakes of their previous hearts...

Relationships

Romantic Interest, Sexual Interest, Platonic Love, Good Standing, Neutral Standing, Poor Standing

Romantic Interest

=Gareki Yukimura - There is literally no one in the world Klair respects or loves more. Having known Gareki for nearly all his life, Gareki is his mate in every sense- though they're complete opposites in personality, Gareki is precious to him in the way he needs air to breathe. Someone he can be himself around completely, and someone who loves him sincerely without ever demanding he maintain his charm, Klair would pluck the stars from the sky for him simply to see him smile.
During the shift, Klair held no memories of ever meeting Gareki save vague ones of his past. At most, he'd become a fond memory of a childhood he barely recalled, and had no opinion on him of any sort. His heart yearned for him, even though things had changed, and he still sought him out desperately without knowing why, until they came face to face with who had attempted to destroy their bond. Saved by Megumi, they both recovered their memories- yet became conflicted, unsure of which life they now existed in, but finally giving in to the love they couldn't fight away.

Platonic Love

Jhi'a Feng - An older miqo'te, who is his best friend and closest confidante, Klair was once lovers with Jhi'a for a bit but their affection for each other goes far beyond such things. Respecting his intellect and mind, there's no one Klair would ever doubt in personality, no matter how dubious Jhi'a gets.
Cosmos Lucis-Dratahr - His mother, a beautiful woman who looks almost like an au ra with golden scales.
Luka Caelus-Dratahr - His father, a playful philanderer who hasn't really been there as much for him, but has his respect for returning to his mother when she needed him.
Nayel Dratahr/Hoshiki - A young miqo'te he adopted, who later turned out to be an alternate existence of his own son. He later had a son with Gareki who he named Nayel, and is a future prince of his land- but all memory of him has been lost to the aether.
Wen Liu-Dratahr - Klair's nephew, a kind and handsome young man who is half auri and darkscaled. Klair and him are very close and he befriended Aymeric de Borel as a result of praising his nephew to him.
Karim Drahlei - Another fellow Prince of the Land of Norhe. A beautiful young man who suffered far too much heartbreak too soon.
Zian - Klair's loyal retainer, and a green dragon. Lovers with Anguo.
Anguo - Klair's loyal retainer, and a green dragon. Lovers with Zian.

Good Standing

Nasira Kha - A little xaela maiden looking to find her path in life and becoming a defender of the weak. Klair acts as her guide and mentor, and addresses her fondly as "Dragonbird."
Kitsuno Ishida - A princess of the land of Sawa, home of the foxes, and a fan of his music. She's Gareki's childhood best friend.
Megumi Yukimura - Klair's sister-in-law. She hates him, but begrudgingly accepts him because of Gareki.
Argen Jhungid - A man who has suffered too much and loves doubly more- a shifter and informant, as well as bodyguard.
Saien Hoshiki - Jhi'a's wife, a woman Klair and Jhi'a both rescued from her abusive husband along with her kidnapped tribe who got sold into slavery, and reunited her with her father.
Nachin Qestir - Kitsuno's retainer and lover, and their unwitting babysitter for Nayel. Klair enjoys the sight Gareki lusting over him.

Neutral Standing

Claudien Winter - The boss of the Mogsglaive Hunting Lodge. Has no fashion sense, so Klair gives him a hard time and styles him up for it.
Kazusano'o Oda - Lord of Owari and Kitsuno's affianced, a leader worth admiring despite his tough exterior.

Poor Standing

Krise Dratahr - Klair's older brother by twelve years and the antagonist of his tale. Krise hates that Klair took everything he wanted from him- and has loathed him since he came into existence, hell bent on ensuring he never gains the happiness he wants so dearly.
