Name || Mithras Solstice 

             - Mithras was celebrated as part of a mystery religion in ancient Rome. He

                was a god of the sun, who was born around the time of the winter solstice

                and then experienced a resurrection around the spring equinox.

             - either of the two times in the year, the summer solstice and the winter

                solstice, when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at

                noon, marked by the longest and shortest days. He was specifically named

                after the winter equinox, which happens to mark the day he was born.

​

Why this name? || Fitting + developmental

                 I chose this name because it sounded fitting for the echon. 

                 Development wise, though, he was called Mithras because of the

                 similarities between the two. While Mithras isn't a god in their beliefs, 

                 Ausra did study the other religions of the world out of curiousity and this

                 name popped out at her. She found it so fitting that she had to bestow the

                 name upon the echon.

​

Nicknames || Bug // Ice-cube

                 -Bug was a nickname given to him by Ausra when he was a hatchling.

                  Bugs were one of the things he would eat all of the time, and Ausra said

                  that one day he would turn into one if he didn't eat anything else.

                  Eventually, she started to call him bug, and he didn't hate it too much. 

                - As for the nickname ice-cube, this started when Mithras was first

                  showing his powers. Ausra pretended not to care at first, teasing him

                  about the fact that she could have him make her ice-cubes wherever they

                  went. Not too long later, Mithras intentionally filled her room with

                  nothing but ice-cubes, to which Ausra laughed and started calling the

                  echon "ice-cube" to remember their silly joke.

​

Gender || Agender // goes by male pronouns, however

​

Sexuality || Asexual Heteroromantic

​

Age || 130 winters

           - Mithras is rather young for an echon, and it shows in some of the things

              that he does when he's alone. He counts his ages in winters, or how many

              blizzard seasons he's gone through. While he isn't immortal, he has a long

              time before he reaches old age.

Species || Echon

​

Distinguishing feature || Dragon whiskers // large horns

             - When you first see Mithras, chances are you immediately notice the long

                dragon whiskers and the large and dangerous horns protruding from his

                head. The dragon whiskers aren't very threatening, and tend to be the first

                thing children notice, as children love to mess around and play with them.

                Those who are old enough, though, tend to notice the large horns that

                tend to be rather scary to someone already intimidated by his beastly size.

​

Voice and Tone || When speaking English, Mithras' voice is not necessarily deep, but not exactly high pitched either. Its the perfect range for him, although it does have a tendency to crack/break a lot as English is something he doesn't speak often. Once he gets back into the habit of it, this problem will likely vanish.  That being said, when he roars or speaks in his native echon tongue, his voice seems to be much more threatening and scary. It sounds menacing and like the voice of a villain, but he doesn't mean it to be that way.
