Turbulence the Qilin

Turbulence the Qilin is a Sonic OC created by thelobsterlover. He is a pessimistic qilin deity who lives another relm beyond the clouds. He is has storm blue and faded jade green fur.

Concept and Creation
It started with the name. I was thinking on the kitchen table when I thought of it, and I liked it so much that I wanted to make a character of it. I settled with the concepts: he was a depressed dragon with storm powers. But I was stupid and couldn't draw dragons, so I left him alone for a long time. Some day in September, I was reading chinese history and I saw a picture of a qilin, and immediately googled it. Got inspired to actually design his character and it went off from there. I did further reasearch on qilins and that's where he gets some of his attributes.

Appearance
Turbulence looks somewhat like a deer with big ears and a chinese dragon tail. He has storm blue fur with faded jade green patterns. On his head, above his down-cast ears are two grey horns that are surprisingly flexible. He wears gloves with a red-yellow bracelet around each, and he has hooves for feet.

Personality
Turbulence is blunt, pessimistic aloof and a general party pooper most of the time. He has a serious and duty-focused view of life and doesn't like to waste his time. He is also inextricably wise, finding a proverb for the nearly every occasion, and gets annoyed when people don't listen to his advice. Despite all this, he has strong sense of justice and will defend the innocent or give his life to save others. He is the sense of reason in a group and has a stolid and confident additude.

The 'turbulence' sometimes settles, but he'd rather not show that side. He tends to freak out about things that other would find trivial, like stepping on grass or accidentally squashing bugs. He is a nature enthusiast, and birds flock on him constantly. While he saves people because of his personality, he can take praise and really likes it.

Powers and Abilities
Turbulence has the power of storm magic thanks to his staff. He can make clouds and tell them when to rain or produce thunder and lightning. This is mainly to serve his duty but can be used for offense. He also displays impresive physical strength, being able to lift a large boulder at least.

Turbulence is actually rather light and so is able to levitate by using his tail. This is mainly useful to returning to his relm or avoiding, but isn't very fast.

He has limited psychic abilities, telepathy is within his reach and he can tell the future to a certain extent. His prescence in general seems to give people good luck, but he isn't sure why.

This qilin has seemingly boundless knowlege about all sorts of things, and can decipher strange texts. He can't breathe fire due to being a water qilin, but his breath is warm and smoky.

Weaknesses
Without his staff, Turbulence is basically a sitting duck, he can't run away very well, and is weak to close-quarters combat.
