Appearance
Enki is a silver dragon with a serpentile body. His flexibility would remind on of water and if he were a blue dragon under water he most likely would have been the water. His head is sharp with a mane of fin stretching from between his eyes to all the way down from below his chin. His eyes are silver orbs with a single white verticle slash that serve as his pupils. A long neck connects his head from his rather lithe looking body. His muscles can be seen from underneath his silver stone-colored scales and a single dorsal-spine stretches from the base of his neck down to the beginning of his thick whip-like tail.
Enki's arms and legs are perfectly lengthed for his lithe body, each limb boasting strong muscle. His talons are sharp and ever so slightly curved for better land maneuverablility. Two invisible fingered wings rest carefully at his shoulder, each wing holding a thumb claw. His wings are two times larger than his body allowing him able movement in the sky. Enki's scales are a stony-hue of different silvers ranging from bright silver to dark-grey depending on the time of day and his health-condition. He can't be described exactly since his scale always shine in a different way each time.
Personality
Unlike most dragons, Enki holds very litte of the 'dragon pride.' He has no qualms with asking for help when it is needed and he praises other when they deserve it. He is a calm and calculating dragon who has one of those 'extremely intellegent' auras around him. In his own way, its kind of intimidating... Yet depite his 'wise' stature Enki always babies his rider. He acts like a mother cooing over her new-born baby. He tries to fulfill every wish of his rider no matter what it may be and he does so at great haste. In a way its kind of funny to see one of the proud silver dragons to fawn over his human rider.
Especially since its usually not in dragon behavior to do so. So he is a bit of an oddball there. Pushing that aside, Enki loves to fly and suprisingly he loves to run even more. Thanks to his body's rather cat-like form he is able to maneuver across land almost as well as he can do aerobatics in the sky. Swimming however... is not his strong suite. Despite his serpentine body Enki can never seem to keep his body from sinking and worse yet is that his body refuses to swim, in fact he cringes when he is in the water; saying that its like 'walking against goo.' Enki is an extremely loyal dragon who would never betray his partnered rider and would protect her with his life. He's usually only kind to his rider, other than that he's always indifferent. Always trying to find some way to be neutral.
History
Enki was a dragon born and raised in the nursery. His dragon father a black dragon and his mother a silver. His black heritage shows in how dark his scales get at night. But he isn't nearly so adept as his black bretheren which stuck him with his mother's heritage of silvers. He kept to himself despite being surrounded by his fellow dragons. He had never really cared for making any dragon friends but rather through all the years as a hatchling and up, Enki found himself more interested in the humans.
Each time they would be different and sometimes the same ones would come in. But eventually they always changed and everyone who came to greet him never sparked more than a mild interest. Not until he met his fate-bound partner at least. That the first time in all his short dragon life that he had ever felt something more than just interest. The feeling of a bond.
