Jiryu is temperamental. He has a lot of patience for the residents of Wyrmheart Valley and he cares for each of them as if they are family. He is especially loving and warm with his children and mate (wife). He is quick to anger when met with aggression, feisty, and stubborn to a fault. He is the guardian of the valley inhabitants who keeps away the outside world by force when necessary. While a devoted father and husband, he also feels endearment and affection for his closest friends. He is weary of newcomers and does not like trespassers because of his past experiences with letting in newcomers and the negative consequences that followed. Only his mate (wife) and children can calm him or sway his opinion on matters. 

**He screams/shouts and is emotionally expressive throughout all works he is in. This will take a toll on your voice. Please be aware of that before auditioning.**

**He also moans and whimpers. If you are uncomfortable with that, and cannot handle the role and what is asked of you maturely, kindly pass this character. This is also not in an X-rated scene.**

Jiryu is a full-grown amethyst dragon; he is 7'2 (about 218 cm) and 365 lbs (about 166 kg) in his humanoid form. This is true in this work however, he may be depicted younger in other works.

For Jiryu, in this work, we are looking for a deep voice with no preference for other voice artifacts or features. Having a range to depict him younger as well is preferred.
