It has been awhile since I last designed a tragon. This is Tafari, like Prince D funk from birth, hip-hop by choice. I based Tafari off of our sadly departed king Chadwick Boseman the Black Panther. The necklace might be the give away.
Tafari is like most tragons, honor bound and very loyal. While it is not required all tragons know how to fight. Tafari holds the title Tobosleam which means Strongest Male to the tragons. Where as the tragon Shaila has the title Togaleam, that means strongest female. The tragons who own those title are warriors not of royalty who's strength and fighting skills has made them the best. Of course being Tobosleam, Tafari is often challenge from other male tragons for the title. Frequently by the hard rock tragon Galveston, who trained long and hard most of his life for the title and refuses to be second best. Tafari is also the mate of Princess Marco, who when she becomes queen will make him her king.
Tafari is a defender. He would jump and take a blow for any one in danger. Tafari always tries to do what's right and what's merciful even when its hard. Most often he's stoic but he can be very witty when he wants to be. He is very traditional and it would take some convincing to have him change things up sometime. But when anything threatens his people, friends, or any innocent creature, his ferocity comes forth and his strength knows almost no bound. Tafari isn't just a fighter of course. He loves parties and celebrations like any tragon. Tafari's necklace means a lot to him. It's been in his family who have for a long time been different breeds of tragons coming together for generations. It is the greatest link he has to his past and an important piece of his family lineage. Tafari has a thing he does when he shows another respect or is simply greeting or departing, he brings his fists up to his chest as a sort of salute.
While He has sung funk, hip-hop is his preferred music. It is a custom of tragons that if one choses to be funk, they dull the edges of whatever points they have on their horns. Even if a tragon isn't born funk, if they chose it, they dull it. Since Tafari chose to be hip-hop he wasn't required to dull his horns.
In a probably to be rebooted story of mine, Tafari does meet Poppy and Branch. He recognizes both their potential of being great leaders. But worries on how only one of them will go to prove it.
His salute I based off the Wakandan salute.
Tafari is an African name that means: He who inspires awe.
