I did what I had to do, hunt me to the ends of the earth if you have to, but I'm never going to make the hunt easier for you.
Croix is a Emirais, a priest for an Aethus Dragon. He is Hjärtia's Emirais and has been for hundreds of years, serving and assisting her to make her life easier. He began working for Hjärtia when he was still young and in the process grew very close to all the Aethus Dragons and their Emirais'.
A stoic person by nature, he's very protective of those around him and has an aura of danger that often kept visitors in-line. The Heart Temple was isolated and got very few visitors, simply due to the stories of the great stone spirits that guarded it, so Croix and Hjärtia were rarely in the spotlight.
After a dragon is killed in the Heart Temple, Croix betrays his Goddess, stealing her heart core when she slumbers and running away with it. He is on the run from the Council and Hjärtia, and there is no known reason for his betrayal of the Goddess he once cared greatly for.
Important Features
- Has two large, stone-like horns that are dark brown, and they have cracks and gems growing out of them with gradients of blue and purple, and bright highlights.
- Hair is long and straight and falls to the small of his back, it's a gradient of dark purple to pink-purple with shimmering highlights, and ever-moving colours, like liquid.
- Eyes are gradients of blue and purple, shimmering and almost gem-like, with dark blue around his sharp, slitted pupils.
- His ears are long and pointed.
- Has sharp upper and lower canines. The upper right one is chipped.
- Is tall, lithe with slight muscle, fairly athletic in shape.
- Has scars over his hands and arms, they look like cracks in stone where gem-like blood can be seen in blue and purple shades.
- Has a dragon necklace with blue gems around his neck, almost like a collar.
- Props for him are primarily the dragon collar he wears that can come to life at will, that he always wears. Often seen with things like temple offerings, decorations, stone statues, heart symbology and broken-heart themes. Can also be drawn with Hjärtia's gem-like heart, gems, or blood that bleeds like sparkling gems.
- Poses are normally distant, cold and unwelcoming, he appears very stoic and closed off towards others, almost proud in the way he holds himself. Often appears dangerous and cold, even when he was still working. Can be drawn tending to the temple, or welcoming the rare visitors, or on the run from Hjärtia, injured, fighting or struggling.
- Expressions are cold and closed off, he hides his feelings and this gives him a dangerous and unwelcoming aura. Rarely smiles, even less so now, and keeps his thoughts and feelings hidden. When alone, his face can crumple in grief and loss, and show inner turmoil. When he does smile it's small, but warm and honest. All changes to expression are often slight and small changes.
- Can be drawn with anyone in Dracaia, they are no longer close with anyone, and are on the run. Originally was quite close with the other Emirais and Aethus dragons.
- Can be drawn with his living dragon necklace, that holds a heart-like gem and often sits on his shoulder.
- Can be drawn with Hjärtia, his Aethus dragon. The two used to be very close but now he is hunted by her for his betrayal and theft of her heart-core.
The temples of the dragons are spread out over Dracaia, and the roads to visit them are dangerous and long.
Dracaia is a realm with dragons as the ruling class, all creatures pray to the three Aether Dragons who offer protection and guidance to those who earn their gifts. Each Aether Dragon has their own temple, themed individually and scattered over the land. Other creatures, such as unicorns, griffins and mermaids exist, though their status falls lower than that of dragons, regardless of their power. With a wide range of biomes, the beasts of Dracaia have grown varied.
The three temples of the Dragons are the eastern Hibiscus Temple, a beautiful white temple with intricate dragon decoration and a long bridge that connects it across a deep ocean. The northern Celestial Temple, with a tower that stretches up to the heavens and is surrounded by stars and gold gilding. Then the western Heart Temple, which is a dark stone castle, with terrifying statues of dragons and monstrous figures guarding the gates. Each temple offers a 'specialisation' and is run by a God and their Emirais, or Priest.

Bella, I have another routine for you to try out. How about we get some time together so you can practice, love?
Adrien works with Bella quite closely, practicing dance routines and creating music that will match her performance style. Though he is slightly over familiar with her and will sometimes receive threats in return. They've developed a teasing, playful relationship. Adrien likes getting her to come out of her shell and is trying to help her find comfort in other people's presence.
He also enjoys buying her new outfits, often dragging her out with him. Adrien has let Bella see into his mind so she has a good grasp over his feelings and how he struggles with himself and his upbringing. She shows signs of frustration at him hiding his struggles, but doesn’t bring it up. They very rarely discuss their pasts, he finds comfort in knowing she understands a similar upbringing and they fill their time with not thinking about their struggles.

Current
Adrien found his way to the Limbo Freak Show by chance. They were performing in town, to offer solace to the people during a hard economic hit. When he saw their show he saw a chance to escape from the life he'd been caged to. They saw his interest and saw something in him that was seeking freedom. He agreed to join them and travel to help bring light to other people.
He became their musician and choreographer. The Show has given him a sense of family and he's coming out of his shell a lot, finding comfort in their company.
History
Adrien was born to two musical geniuses. Isabella and Mateo Giovanni de Luca. The atmosphere he grew up in was suffocating and very strict. His oldest sister, Maria, grew to be cruel and unpleasant as well. Both Adrien and his younger sister, Ani, were struggling under their parents. Neither wanting to be constricted to their parent's plan for them. Even from a young age, Adrien has been very talented with instruments and music. The pressure of his parents made him avoid his responsibilities as much as possible in order to push back about it.
Becoming a little jaded and neglecting himself and his emotions, he tried to protect his sister as much as possible. When his father died, his mother grew even more controlling. Likely to help bring some more control into her life, that she believed she'd lost. When he realised she was going to lock him into a life he didn't want, he left home with no word to his mother or sister, only giving Ani a way to contact him.
Important events
Leaving home
Around the age of twenty, he finally managed to pull out from under his controlling mother. Not long after his father died and her treatment and personality worsened. This event helped him escape an abusive situation, and opened up his life for freedom and a chance to be comfortable in himself again.
Joining the show
Met and joined the freak show very soon after leaving home. Working a dead-end, boring job just to survive, he went to see them perform in the nearby town and was brought in by day/night, who saw a great deal of musical talent in him (As well as a lot of pain).
Reconnecting with his sister
A few years after having joined the freak show, he received word from his sister, Ani, that she was free from their parents and searching for her own direction in life. This event took a great deal of weight off his shoulders. Adrien is highly proud of his sister, and writes to her as much as he can.
