Starlight Thunderscale (often referred to as Starly by Ziolang Hirasu; proper English name Starlit Scales of Lightning (direct translation Light of Star Lightning-Scale; root meaning Luminous Night of Electric Armor); proper Drakine name Irienereí Atirifámi) is a Plated-Stormcloud Firedrake hybrid and the brother of Mimring and Icelake Thunderscale, and the son of Irisidion. Starlight is Fire-Aligned due to species. At Standard Canon Time, he appears in his adolescence.

In the Prime Timeline, Starlight appears in Fyreborne as a deuteragonist. Initially, he appears as a rival to his brother Mimring, as it is common of Stormcloud Firedrakes to fight to the death upon hatching. Although both of the two survive, the resulting death of a mediating Icelake causes Mimring to drive Starlight out of the territory. Later on, the brothers join The Fyrebornes and are forced by Corian Fyreborne to make amends. In the middle of Fyreborne, he is adopted by Jason Shaver through dracoimpery in self-defense. By the epilogue of that plot, he allows himself to become one of Jason's two Familiars. In later Euthoran Song canon plots, he - along with Mimring - has become one of Jason's proxies when the Shapeshifter ascends to godhood.

In the Alter Timeline, Cult of Ustream canon, a starving Starlight is driven to join Organization G-X out of necessity at the end of Season One. As he does not have a hunting partner of his own, he struggles to maintain a sufficient diet. When Lord X-Giga-X offers him assistance in the form of food, he has no choice but to accept the offer, and binds himself to Giga through dracoimpery out of desperation and spite towards his brother.

Appearance

Bulkier and larger than his brother by nature, Starlight is a dazzling blue-tinged silver color with a rich metallic sheen. He measures slightly longer than Mimring- about 38 feet at Standard Canon Time- with a wingspan to match, though in Cult of Ustream canon he can at times appear smaller due to his near-starvation during the first season. Like others of his species, Starlight's limbs, back, and wings are adorned with thick plates- ten on his back, which end just before the first of his two tail rings. His legs all carry exactly five plates each, while his wings carry five on the arms, four on the outer edge, three on the next two fingers, and two on the elbow finger. The plates on his back and wing fingers display faint blue bands across the vertical middle, as do the tips of the six-point crown that makes up his crest (two points on each eye ridge and two on the central crest).

Starlight's eyes are a piercing, slit-pupiled vermilion. The armored fans on each side of his head flare open when Starlight is angry, displaying lime-green membranes with orange-red splotches on them. His leathery scutes and wing membranes are an icy blue that is almost white, and his hide (including the inside of his mouth) is a pale, red-tinged gray. He has a single chin spike made of bone, although his nostril ridges are also spiked. Uniquely among his species, Starlight's four primary fangs are long, hollow, and able to fold back when his mouth is closed. These fangs fill with venom when Starlight is angry or defensive, and may drip venom without him actually biting anything.

Starlight is able to rise onto his hind legs for short periods of time by using his wings and tail for balance, but has a primarily quadrupedal gait. His hind legs are digitigrade; all four of his paws are three-toed with a dewclaw, but the dewclaw on his forepaws is opposable and can function as a thumb. His forelegs are also armed with long, vaguely lightning-shaped blades for physical combat. His tail's length (over half of his total length) allows it to act as a counterweight in flight, and it is tipped with a smooth, light, and razor-sharp blade. Starlight's head is sleek and aerodynamic, with a beak-like snout and two long, smooth ivory horns.

Personality

Cult of Ustream

Starlight is outwardly aggressive and guarded in his appearance in Cult of Ustream canon, but this is perceived to be a result of self-defense. In response to Mimring's efforts to keep him away from Cult of Ustream Headquarters, Starlight has adopted a vaguely apathetic, combative personality to keep himself from even wanting to approach the Cult's headquarters.

• Toximpery: Starlight's toximpery grants him a high level of resilience towards poisons, toxins, and illnesses, as he is able to take anything he is afflicted or injected with and utilize it in his own venom. In this sense, 'toxins' can be defined as "any substance that would have a toxic effect on his own body." He does not have any venom sacs, as he can simply manipulate the poison inside of himself as opposed to requiring a particular 'storage area' within his anatomy. His anatomy does grant him hollow fangs, with which he can release the toxins. At Standard Canon Time, his power over toxins is limited to an extremely venomous bite and secretions from his claws and tail blade. The poisons he excretes are a potent neurotoxin, able to fry the nerves of its victim. It would be able to send a Terran horse into seizure-like convulsions that would ultimately snap its neck.

Eventually, Starlights toximpery allows him to 'truly' manipulate toxins. He develops a technique to spit poison in a similar manner to a cobra, but mostly it is utilized as a supplement to physical attacks. His "true manipulation" would allow him to essentially hold the life of an envenomed target in his claws; speed up the spread of the toxins, painfully prolong it, or stop it entirely.

Relationships

Cult of Ustream

Starlight particularly does not keep many, if any, positive relationships. He holds to the idea that, if he works alone, then he will not be affected by anything in the same way he was affected by the death of Icelake. He sets up a facade of indifference towards the Cult of Ustream, so that he is not tempted to venture towards the building. He aligns himself with Lord X-Giga-X and Organization G-X for this same reason. He acts significantly kinder and more cooperative with those he likes, or at least feels those he feels are not hostile towards him. Examples would be Ziolang Hirasu, and more recently, Giga. Although there have been moments and exchanges with some Cultists (such as Valen Scarletburn) with whom he has not been angry or hostile himself.
