Something I've been wondering. Daray seems very good on his feet, but tends to miss the bigger picture. I wonder if this is his usual self, or he's just been unlucky. Joining Kavonn seemed well thought out, but a little desperate. His current fix could be because of lack of preparation, but it still seems to be lacking in foresight. Even when he was hunting dragons, what was he doing? Hiding in the bushes hoping something that usually flies would just walk past? I wonder if I have his nature all wrong, but it seems he likes to live by the seat-of-his-pants.

Haha, that is pretty close to what he did when he was dragon hunting! The Onekmari are very behind the times on their dragon knowledge, but they do have a keen sense for detecting dragons (or hybrids even) should one appear before them. Long-ingrained species/racial tension, hatred, (and at one point in history, necessity) tend to dictate what they do next. He was indeed, at that point, just waiting for any dragon to pass by! He had originally set out to prove himself the same way as his brother, but he found out after a while that he didn't have the foresight as you mention, nor the, let's be honest in our assessment of Darryn, cold-blooded resolve to do the job until he became desperate. But even Daray doesn't want to be honest with himself, he knows his family sent him on a snipe hunt just to get rid of him, but he still wanted to bring down a bigger dragon than his brother and return triumphant. That's his problem, he keeps thinking he has the solution to make things better, it's only a matter of changing himself, a matter of impressing people, a matter of living up to the legend of his dead brother... none of these bring him happiness, so he gets in a rut, then decides something reckless is the new answer. But yes, I would say for the most part you are right about Daray.

Is why Daray is one of my favorites in the Charbyverse. <3 Well, that and the awesome purpleness.

The second paragraph sounds a bit like me. In fact, the scary thing is, most of your main cast sound like aspects / aspirations of me. Sometimes I swear you're peeking into my soul! The only one I don't really relate to well is Tony, but that's probably a good thing.
