Zelgadis

Background
Blue was born Zelgadis, to a Cygnus immigrant who fell in love with the Vulpecan plains and its women... speciically one woman. To everyone’s surprise, Blue’s parents have stayed together for decades, happy and with an army of siblings. Blue is the oldest, and took that name on his coming-of-age.

Blue is a decent wind and fire mage, and is one of those literate Vulpecula -- both thanks to his father. The shapechanging trick is his own, based on the jawbreakers of the Vulpeculan plains, though all Blue can manage is stone skin -- a trick he picked up shortly before his coming of age, and leading to his choice of name.

After his coming of age, Blue took more to visiting other Vulp tribes and beyond, into other countries, collecting bits of information -- useful and useless -- and taking advantage of his gift for magic. He fell into Lucky's tribe based on a common interest in information.

Personality
Blue has a Vulpeculan's mercenary streak, and gets along fine in his small tribe. He's something of an informational packrat. He also has a bad habit of developing crushes on dangerous women.

Existing relationships
Lucky: Oh, hey, fellow book-learnin' buddy. Let us be awesome together. Also has a crush on her, because it is hilarious, but usually figures he doesn't have a chance with her. (That and common sense usually outweighs this when he's sober).

G: Smart Hydra who is also Lucky's bro and awesome.

Albert: Likes to swap information with him and bring him stuff from his travels.

Sparky(Expy of Lina Inverse): Another one of Blue's Bad Idea crushes. Some girl on Hydra that he writes letters to, then burns before he sends them.

D'Grappa: Grandpa! Who is made of awesome and he runs (well, advises) a whole country. Though taking people to visit him is a bad idea (guys, don't steal the palace stuff...)
