Hello, all. This next release will be on, well, as a certain Rex in the cast would put it, “the weirdest hunk I know”. So, without further ado...
*************************************************************************************************************
Dustin, as has been previously established, was the 6th character I created here. Dustin is a velociraptor, but lacks any feathers and bears only scales. Aged 26, he is among the oldest of the cast. He is also among the tallest, sharing Damian’s (now-updated) height of 5 feet, 6 inches. His coloration is the same as Evan’s: light purple with yellow radiating over his skin like a star. He also mimics Evan’s wardrobe, donning darker purple sweatpants over his legs. Dustin can be distinguished by his eyes, colored a piercing gold. His key feature is a pair of gold rings he wears around his index claws. Like Damian, Dustin is incredibly strong, bearing a meaty six-pack of abs and grand muscles, though his build is slimmer than Damian’s. After Damian, Dustin is the strongest of my characters. He is also, after Evan, the fastest.
As to his personality, Dustin’s is now…different from what I had originally intended it to be. Let’s start from the, well, dark side to him. Dustin is smug, vain, and overly confident in himself. He is a natural loner, mainly keeping to himself and always seeming to be on guard. All those who know him label him as a diva, which is an apt and accurate moniker. At the same time, those who know him, outside of his family, regard him as very strange. What distinguishes Dustin most from my other characters is how he chooses to communicate with others. Dustin is a mostly silent character, barely using his voice to speak. Rather, he instead communicates most often through his gestures and actions. Due to his smug attitude, he can be quite teasing with how he communicates, too, so it can take a considerable amount of patience to connect with him and understand him.
Despite this, he carries a bright side along with his dark side. He is vain, but also quite sophisticated and intelligent. He always tries to carry himself with respect towards everyone, even strangers. He is also, despite staying on constant guard, naturally quite gentle and calm. Even when he’s enraged, he’d prefer to simply back away rather than cause pain. At the same time, while he’s smug, Dustin’s more than capable of backing up his words with results. He’s no stranger to hard work, and is driven to constantly challenge and improve his mind and body. He’s not afraid to get dirty and take a bit of pain if need be, though it should be noted that he was not always willing to do so.
Going deeper, if one can manage to bond with Dustin, they’d find quite a warm, caring and dedicated friend within him, someone who can be relied upon. When he speaks with his voice, his tone is described by all who hear it as surprisingly charming, smooth, and soft, echoing his sophisticated side and inner kindness. The raptor’s stoicism wears off most often around 3 specific parties: his family, Damian, who he sees as his best friend, and Evan, his boyfriend. Around Damian, he becomes more grand, bold, and out-spoken, as well as much snarkier. Around Evan, he’s quite teasing and coy, taking pleasure in toying with his lewd nature. His heart shines most in Evan’s vicinity, but he can be overprotective of him. Patient as he is, Dustin is difficult to enrage, but trying to harm Evan is the easiest way to cause this. It’s noted that when Dustin is enraged, the air around him seems to chill as he becomes deathly silent.
Dustin, in his youth, was raised by artisans, his father being a jeweler who owns his own business and his mother being a painter. The raptor’s signature rings were gifts to him from his father, given to him on his 18th birthday. As such, he never, or rather, rarely ever, takes them off. Having been raised in a household shaped and sustained by art, Dustin has grown to have an immense passion and love for art as a whole. It feeds into his livelihood, with Dustin making his living as a sculptor and selling original pieces. It fed into his lifestyle as well, as he tries to live his life as he works with his creations: gentle, concise, and thoughtful. This passion, in turn, led him towards bodybuilding, as he felt that he should give his body the same sort of appreciation and development as his parents give towards their work. 
However, being surrounded by art and decadent creations contributed to his vain attitude. As such, due to his vanity, Dustin was unused to the prospect of becoming hot and sweaty or challenging his body at first, and so hadn’t put in his best efforts. This would come to change when he met Damian, not long after turning 18. As one can imagine, due to their personalities, they had a rocky start with each other. From their first few meetings, Damian saw Dustin as an arrogant diva, and conversely, Dustin saw Damian as just a brute. Strangely, though, the two felt something of an attraction to one another. Naturally, Dustin, in spite of himself, began competing with the younger dragon. Damian actually became the first person Dustin ever truly argued with. 
While he wouldn’t admit it at first, Dustin didn’t take long to respect Damian’s strength and work ethic, coming to see it as similar to how the raptor himself approached his studies. At the same time, he took note of how, in spite of his prideful, boisterous self, others felt warmer with him rather than Dustin. While he was a loner by nature, Dustin slowly became a bit envious of Damian’s charismatic side. One year into their time knowing one another, Dustin’s relationship with Damian began to change further. Case in point, after Damian prodded him on it, Dustin admitted his envy towards him and how he thought him to be a hard worker. To Dustin’s surprise, Damian reciprocated this, admitting that he thought of Dustin as being intelligent and, well, a gentler character, even when they argued. 
Having found this breakthrough, over the following year, the two men’s animosity towards each other slowly began to ease as they grew more comfortable around one another. Finally, after two years of knowing one another, Dustin and Damian became full-fledged friends, openly acknowledging it as well. Over the course of their second year together, in which they agreed to attempt bonding together, Dustin slowly became motivated and inspired by Damian to maximize his efforts in bodybuilding, to truly treat his body with the same level of care he gave to his mind and art, eventually resulting in the hunk he is today. He also helped him grow more comfortable in approaching others. Dustin, in turn, both through arguing with Damian and coming to have discussions with him, gradually helped him to develop a more gentle side and composed attitude.
From Dustin’s perspective, he openly sees Damian as his best friend, and is more than thankful for all the time they’ve spent together. Today, he shares a healthy, friendly rivalry with the dragon, seeing him as a real goal to put the artistry and buildup of his body against. Despite this rivalry, Dustin and Damian are very amicable and kind with one another. They can tend to be quite snarky towards one another as well, affectionately calling one another “diva” and “brute” respectively often. But make no mistake, should anyone try to harm or damage one of them, the other will immediately come to their defense, and these two can be frightening to come up against as a duo. 
Of more important note, however, is Dustin’s relationship with Evan. The two of them met when they were both 20 years old. Their first interaction was the raptor giving Evan a lemonade while he was working out in Rippling Scales. While Evan was surprised, Dustin didn't simply meet Evan just out of the blue. For a while, Dustin noticed how the smaller man snuck around the gym, sticking to the shadows. He even caught him looking in on one of his workouts once, though Evan didn't realize this. On a basic level, Dustin respected how Evan could sneak around so well, and quickly became curious about him. He could also sense something familiar from him: a longing for someone to stick close. He could tell how, in spite of his normally bubbly demeanor, Evan carried a great sense of loneliness, too. As this was after Damian befriended him and helped him to start opening up a bit more, seeing Evan alone as he was...struck a chord in his heart. That led Dustin to approach Evan and they started hanging out.
Dustin bonded with Evan much more quickly than he had with Damian, thanks to their similar personalities, both liking to be creative with their studies and used to keeping to themselves. Dustin greatly respected Evan's intelligence and positive attitude, while Evan respected how, in spite of being a diva, Dustin could be quite mature and fun to talk to. They also enjoyed learning about each other’s eccentricities. However, the real turning point came about when Dustin related to Evan about knowing about his lifestyle as a pervert. To Evan’s surprise, when it came to the lewd side of him, Dustin told Evan how he already knew of this side of him...and was completely unfazed. He didn’t care at all if he was a pervert or not. He even confided in him about his own kinkier traits as well.
Greatly touched by this, Evan’s bond with Dustin grew greatly. After a year, the two had a strong thriving bond. Evan also began to develop even deeper feelings towards Dustin, not just in the case of libido, but perhaps something even bigger. Still, as Evan himself had spent much of his life facing loneliness, he feared that he might damage Dustin’s impression of him, so he kept those thoughts to the back of his mind. Before long, however, he began evading Dustin as the feelings grew stronger. Fortunately, Dustin caught him in the act and convinced Evan to admit his fears. Dustin himself, in turn, admitting to feeling similar desires, not just in being lewd, but also…perhaps something even greater towards Evan. 
After this, and after sharing a wonderful tender hug, the two mended fences, and began trying more...private affairs. Nothing intimate yet, but they started spending a lot more time alone together. Those very same warm feelings only advanced further and further until, after two years of having known one another...they finally confessed to one another, and became a couple. To celebrate, they finally got dirty with each other, in the most tender and most likely first real night of making love Evan ever had. In the present day, the two of them have been dating for 4 years now, and are very happy to be together. From Dustin’s end, this relationship resulted in one of his most important pieces of artwork. On their first anniversary, Dustin gave his boyfriend a very special gift: a gold neck chain, made by the raptor himself. On the chain he cast both of their names; “Evan” on the front and “Dustin” on the back as a mark of their love for one another.
On a greater level for Evan, Dustin has helped him to accept the lewd side of himself and to not see it as so shameful, helping him to grow more confident and courageous, and to have hope that he can find more friends who truly respect him. At the same time, Dustin’s given him plenty of sweet memories and dreams by stoking that naughty fire inside of him with his toying demeanor, silky-suave voice, muscular body, and heart of gold. Dustin can count the number of weeks in which they haven’t shared a bed together on two hands. Evan, in turn, has helped Dustin to find more friends himself, helping him to interact with the world around him. At the same time, Evan has become quite precious to Dustin, having claimed his heart. By doing so, Evan became Dustin’s biggest motivation to grow stronger, smarter, and more in tune with the world.
Now then, as to the raptor’s hobbies. In his spare time, he enjoys studying artistic knowledge, especially on gems and precious stones, thanks to his father. Like Damian, he is quite into meditation as well. He also enjoys napping in the sun, and taking long, hot baths. On a somewhat more serious note, Dustin trains in martial arts as well, mainly kickboxing. This resulted from Damian beginning to teach him self-defense after they became friends, and grew deeper after Dustin began dating Evan, as his safety is one of Dustin’s biggest concerns. His favorite foods are grapes and strawberries. Above these, however, he has one absolute favorite: peanuts, especially peanut butter. Often, the easiest way to catch his attention is by using any goodies made with peanut butter. His favorite drink is lemonade. During workouts, he enjoys most pushups, especially handstands, pumping right on his hands, and one-handed push-ups. He also loves doing cardio, especially laps, and his favorite places for worship and tending are his legs and chest.
Now, as to the raptor’s intimate interests. Dustin, like Damian, is bisexual, alright getting it on with men or women. His member has the same proportions as the dragon’s, 14 inches long and 6 inches thick, but colored purple. At the same time, like his friend, Dustin is a switch, satisfied acting as a top or bottom, but preferring to be more dominant regardless of his position. Regarding this dominant role, Dustin loves to tease his partners and enjoys toying with their libido. He enjoys getting people in bed and riling them up as much as he can, only to bring them all the way down, in hot exhaustion and sweet delight. As such, he prefers to lead and do the work. When he’s with those closest to him, this teasing attitude drops and he becomes much more direct and loose, allowing them to lead. So far, the only ones he’s allowed to truly have their way with him are Evan and Damian.
