Species: mixosaurus
Gender: male
Age: one year
Birthday: May 13, -1PQ.
Group: insert

Appearance:

Paleogo's fishlike body reaches about average size for his species, just under three feet from nose to tail. His round eyes are a light blue, but most of his eye is taken up by the round black pupil.
His body is detailed with a deep blue-green color that fades to a lighter shade at his underbelly. On the top of his fishy body are a variety of speckles and spots colored whitish light blue. There's nothing particularly ostentatious about his coloring and the most eye catching thing about him would be the vertical stripes of yellow that color his jaw and tail.

Personality:

Skittish from birth, Paleogo was never an outgoing one. Wary and cautious, he has a shyness that's only grown worse over the years. By no means truly a coward, Paleogo has enough courage within him to keep going in trying situations, but he won't parade forwards with all the valor in the world. A sense of adventure rules the mixosaurus's life. He's curious and exploration is a top priority on his to-do list.
Generally quiet, reserved, and shy, Paleogo doesn't say much to anyone. He's easily more frightened by another ichthyosaur that wants to know his name, than by a pitch black undersea cave. A loner in the ocean, Palego sees nothing wrong with his current status of packlessness, but once in a while he does crave companionship of a silent sort.
Frequently, Paleogo spends his time cruising about the ocean and hanging around closer the shores than most ichthyosaurs would have it. Poking his narrow snout out of the water, he's spent an ample amount of time gazing at the creatures on the land. Oh how interesting it would be to set foot on the land and explore the vast continents, but it was a dream, and Paleogo was content with the ocean, for the most part.
Despite being a sea creature, Paleogo's got his head in the clouds, in a metaphorical sense, of course. He's a notorious daydreamer, and a bit of a clumsy one at that. Often lost in thought, the ichthyosaur frequently finds himself bumping into things, be them other creatures or the geological features of the ocean.
In essence, Paleogo is a simple creature. He lives life as simply as possible, going about his own business. However, does harbor desires to go on some miraculous, heroic journey, wishing he was more bold.

Past:

Things have always been relatively simple for the mixosaurus. Life started in the open ocean, born to a healthy female. However, a first time mother, Paleogo's lifegiver was quick to abandon her baby. Afraid to take on the challenge, his mom didn't want to bear the burden that came with his presence.
Too young to know any different, Paleogo accepted the absence of his mother and managed to scrap out a living. It wasn't until he ran into a pack of ichthyosaurs that he realized what he was missing. The adults were majestic, wisdom in their eyes. He watched the larger creatures in awe, inspired by their boldness, their leadership. However, when he was noticed from his hiding place in the shadows, he fled the scene. There was something in him, he just couldn't bring up the strength to approach the others.
Life kept going from that day on, most of them consisting of finding new places to explore. The day the earthquake hit Cretassia, Paleogo was left confused and he watched the land as it tumbled from the safety of the sea. He watched as the side of Tannidale met the ground, and watched as it revealed a hole in the mountain. But it didn't hold his interest for long.
As the destruction of the Illuminati unfolded on the Old Lands, Paleogo remained oblivious to the matters.
