To kick off the new year, I'd like to reintroduce a familiar face to yall once more!

I think most of you here are familiar with Ruby, buuuuut for those that aren't, that's me! He's a species unique to my friend koztastic called the "Dracoil," which surprisingly bears no natural resemblance visually or genetically to dragons; the dracoil are infinitely adaptable to their surroundings within a staggeringly short amount of time, with no two looking alike~ Ruby's form, however, has been groomed and further influenced by his surroundings since day one~!

So, the engine stuck into his back~ Due to certain complications with the original body, there needed to be an artificial heart created within a short period of time for a creature of his size. Since proper organic structures take a while to make, the parent factory for his owner's labs was happy to provide something to bridge the gap~ Ruby has since had the option to get a proper organic heart, but had denied it since the metal one he has makes little noise, if any, and offers little in the way of annoyances; sometimes he almost seems to like it better~!

Being who he is, Ruby loves to eat, and he furthermore loves to eat quite a lot! For capacity, Ruby can eat anything up to his own size in volume and can sometimes feel hungry up to that point if it's been long enough! Most of what he eats is used as fuel for himself, with each meal producing almost next to no waste~

Not everything he eats must be digested, however, as Ruby does have some control over how things tucked away inside his belly are handled, whether it be only a mildly slimey enclosure with no side effects, to the full digestive treatment -with the option for numbing additives of course~.

On the brief note of personality, Ruby is incredibly docile if not in a rather warm disposition most of the time. There are ways to get on his bad side if you prod long enough, but usually he's rather avoidant to conflict if it's possible, enjoying the company of friends and the more relaxed pleasures like food and general laziness~ On the note of eating others, he usually only does this on a "permission" granted basis, so don't expect to be eaten out of nowhere unless under special circumstance~!
