Cogs
Auxiliar Engineer
Unfortunate Guinea Pig Scientist Before the unfortunate experiment that left Cogs as a small hatchling, the coatl was a scientist and engineer for his mother's wind clan. Constantly creating devices to aid in the clan's life alongside his brilliant mother, the two had a reputation for odd experiments and odder results. His mother's final work was just one of them. Looking for a way to prolong one's life, Dahlia started dabbling with alchemy, trying to combine science and whatever concoction she could create to create the ultimate potion. Though dragons have lengthy lifespans, their lives do come to an end, and it seemed a pity to lose all the knowledge of the ancients upon their passing. Even more pressing, dragons suffering from gembond colonies often found an early grave due to their degenerative condition. Seeing her own child covered in crystals renewed Dahlia's efforts and dedication to her research; like many bright minds before her, the female was convinced that she could unlock the secrets to eternal life. Like many bright minds before her, she was wrong. Child At first the crystal growths on her child's body seemed to be recede and weaken with each passing dose. Eager to see such results, the female promptly kept on with her experiment. It wasn't until much later when the first side effects started showing. The young started having trouble remembering things. Easy tasks and routine information eluded him, and he was often found in a confused state trying to remember what he was doing in the first place. Not only that, but as the crystal growths seemed to be shrinking in size, so was his whole body. Successfully receding the gembond state had also affected his body on a basic level. Dahlia watched in horror as, over time, her son also regressed until he was trapped in the body of a hatchling. It wasn't a fast process, so in the months after his mind started to deteriorate the male frantically wrote down everything he had. Every scrap of research, every scientific finding went into carefully kept archives, which he would consult whenever his memory started failing them. Cogs postulated that, as his body grew younger, his mind also regressed to be able to keep up with the changes - a hatchling's body couldn't withhold the brain and knowledge of a grown dragon, and therefore things slowly slipped from his mind as it became more and more childlike. Apprentice Despite the interruption in his treatment, Cogs never resumed growing and ageing as his mother hoped he would. Instead he seems trapped forever in his hatchling form, his condition frozen in time as surely as him. No longer fit to work as an engineer as he used to, the coatl was instead sent to ""apprentice"" in a foreign clan - his former clan's solution in finding a place where he would be safe and also removing him from his mother's distraught presence. Despite caring for him, Cogs' parents and children - for he had offspring himself by the time his experiment went wrong - couldn't seem to look at the coatl without pity or guilt overcoming them. After his mother left the clan and went to the gods in a last desperate attempt to fix her mistakes, the clan decided that a line must be drawn, and Cogs was sent away. Brilliant Mind Taken in by the Tempest clan's resident engineers, Data and ShortCircuit, Cogs quickly got used to his new life with the imperial couple. Although his condition seems to have degenerated far enough that elaborate speech is no longer an option, occasionally the small dragon will have a flash of brilliance, and in a glimpse of his former self will work feverishly at the workshop, trying to make the most of his moment of genius before it passes and leaves him once again a confused child. In recent years one of Cogs' descendants has made his way to the clan as well. While the hatchling seems unable to recognize his grandchild, Craig takes it in stride as he watches over Cogs and awaits for the moment of inspiration that might help his grandfather break free of whatever keeps him trapped in his young body.
