Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the joint Splinter1 (Edward Barnes) and The King of Emerald (Solor) author account! We've decided since our two dragons are very similar, to join forces as well as characters. The two dragons will have to set aside initial differences due to differing universes/times and whatever else we decide to work with.

It's going to be an interesting ride!

--Splinter1

So, as my compadre Splinter1 has explained, we have made a joint account to prepare for the crossover story that we have come up with. Solor of the Banished Titan becomes a part of the Edward Barnes universe and must put his trust into people that he used to know so well in his own home, while dealing with all the changes and the possibility that he might not ever find a way to return home. This takes place hopefully right at the end of the Honeymoon in Hawaii story from Splinter's storyline, and right at the end of the Banished Titan. Yes, for all of those that have been keeping up with my story, Banished Titan is coming to a close, mainly because putting all of the seasons of Teen Titans in one story is probably a very bad idea. So, after chapter 14 is posted, I will work on the stories that may appear here as well as the original story of Solor.

Here's hoping that this'll be as fun as I imagined it would be!

--The King of Emerald

Now, as I've thought about, I've decided Solor needs an updated version of his biography. After all, a lot has been revealed in the original story and will be revealed in the stories to come. So, without further ado, here he is, our little bronze ball of hate.

Solor is a "young" dragon, approximately 749 years old. Compared to some of the others back in his home universe, that's rather young, but still close to adulthood, so he won't hold onto the title of Teen for very long. Being young, you'd figure he would be a bit rebellious towards any authority figure in his life. Well, that's cost him plenty, and he's currently banished from his homeland, with no means of entering it again without permission from his father. Luckily for him, he happened to be right in Jump City when the Titans were formed, and begrudgingly joined, figuring that using his powers to help protect humans would be a good start to his community service.

It didn't take long for him to bond with the other Titans, although his lack of technological savvy keeps him distanced from Cyborg and his intolerable desire to strangle the changeling keeps him distanced from Beast Boy most of the time. However, he does look out for the others when there is trouble, and is especially protective of Starfire, the first of his friends to really break down his arrogant side and get him to act a little softer, much to his chagrin.

Through his adventures with the Titans, he has learned that there are a lot of people with issues on this planet, and has discovered that not all humans are as bad as he assumed they were. He has also learned he cannot taste tofu at all, he still has a lot to learn when it comes to his own powers, and should the chance arrive, he may have a difficult time deciding to return home or not. Of course, he doesn't realize this yet; he's a little dense when it comes to his own emotions.

While he is willing to work with humans, however, he does not view himself as the same as them. Because his species has been on the earth for much longer, he feels himself as being superior. He doesn't view things as his property, but constantly compares things to himself, such as Robin in strength. He doesn't view Robin as a leader, but more as an advisor. However, he still respects the fact that all the Titans are willing to put their lives on the line to fight crime every day, and is willing to fight alongside them.

If there is one thing apparent, though, Solor loves to fight. The problem with that, though, is that most humans are delicate compared to a dragon, so he has to pull his punches when he fights crime usually. This has lead to him landing in sticky situations, but he does think quickly, so he does end up victorious most of the time. However, this love of battle has cost him greatly. While letting his guard down during a sparring match, a rogue agent (Later determined to be Vilea) of Darkness possessed Raven and forced her to open a portal that threw him into an entirely different universe. One where the Titans have grown up, fallen in love, and are starting to settle down.

Solor, naturally, didn't take well to falling for that trap, and when he crashed into Edward's universe, he was unspeakably angry. But once he saw exactly who and what Edward is, and seeing his own Starfire being thrown into this universe as well, Solor has decided to really prove that he isn't the angry beast that Nightwing and the others saw when he first arrived.

After he managed to save Raven, Starfire, and Edward by teaching Edward how to use his newest power, the Blessing of Light, Solor realized he does care for his Kreinyol more than a friend, and at first is distressed greatly. But after realizing he isn't bound by the Circle's laws in Edward's Universe, he decides to act on his feelings, which Kreinyol happily returns. Shortly after, the two of them are found, and are brought back home.

After a year, the Dark Dragons start their plan a little early, kidnapping and torturing Solor until he loses his mind. Thanks to a bit of luck, he manages to escape, and the Teen Titans call on Edward to help, along with his wife. Thanks to them, Solor does make a full recovery, and begins to fight the war against Darkness. Unfortunately, Trigon was summoned, but thanks to Edward, Raven and Solor, he was banished and Oblaan, the leader of the Darkness, was killed. Solor and Kreinyol are officially married in the eyes of dragons, but he has agreed to marry her in the mortal traditions as well, especially now that he has a daughter of his own, whom he has rightfully named Soskrein (Blood Sun), or "Susie" to her family and friends. After another year, while planning for his wedding, he does have to find Edward through tears as well. His role in "Transplanted Dragon" is toned down by quite a bit, but he does legally tie the knot with his mate, and is currently spending his honeymoon in Edward's Hawaii with his new bride (and her grebnaks). After the failed rebellion, Solor was forced to leave the Teen Titans due to a prophecy from a now deceased Dark Dragon with the First's Sight, a rare gift that allows Light and Dark Dragons to see future events. Solor took Komi, his hybrid daughter with Starfire with him.

After a decade of being on the run, Solor risked calling the Tower and that allowed the team and their advanced, sentient AI to finally find him. After a fight with Sosfil, Solor's older sister who was jealous of Solor being Heir to the Light and her trial being interrupted by Slade Wilson, the family was made whole once more.

List of abilities:

Meanwhile in Edward's universe, he's a nearly 3,000 year old dragon, a "elderly" dragon by Solor's age scale. He's got a lot of the same traits as Solor, but, there are some glaring differences between the two dragons. Actually, according to Solor, Edward, is he weren't immortal, should already be dead.

Edward is a more peace-loving dragon deep down, but, never mistake that love for peace as being unwilling to fight when required. In Edward's long life, he's fought alongside Xena, Warrior Princess as a close friend and ally. He's fought demonic forces in the late 18th Century as well as Raven's own father. He normally takes no joy in killing, preferring to use the force necessary for deal with a threat. Sadly, sometimes that necessary force means to kill.

Edward's had his life to learn about humans and to be as human as possible. Unlike Solor, he sees humans as equal to him and, capable of great things, if given the chance and refuses to see himself as above them. He's seen what cruelty slavery is, for example, and refuses to adhere to "racial classes". As a member of the Titans, he personifies that sense of equality by treating the team members as family. He doesn't care if Cyborg is a half robotic black man, nor that Beast Boy is green, and especially seeing how Starfire is not even from this planet.

Edward does, on occasion, give into his base instincts and when that happens, even the bravest of the Titans knows to back away lest Edward, in his immense anger, harms them. Only two people can dare approach Edward when he's in full bloodlust: His dear Raven and Starfire. Edward respects Starfire's warrior nature and he's even admitted that she's almost as strong as he is, thus gaining his respect and trust that even when she was forced to fire upon him, he would forgive her as he understood that she still loves Blackfire. Sometimes, Terra can calm him down as they've developed a brother/sister type bond.

Edward is as protective of his Raven as Solor is with his Starfire, and, that may help form a bond between the two dragons at some point. Edward will graciously accept a defeat during a sparring match and *sometimes* if he's overmatched in a fair and honorable fight, he will accept that he can lose. But, the team knows that when Edward's enraged, his eyes take on a dangerous and deadly red glow (similar to Raven when Rage is in control). If his scales are slowly going through different colors, he's marginally in control. Rapid flashing and all bets are off.

99% of the time, Edward is well in control of his draconic emotions, though. He's more of a big brother to the team, but, more than content to allow Nightwing to lead the team, only asking in very exceptional cases to lead the team. Being Soskrein's godfather and "uncle" means that he has to keep a tighter reign over his emotions. Also, as he can now use Raven's powers at will, he knows that they are fueled by emotion as well and that requires a firm handle on those emotions that would cause even him to lose control. needless to say, he and both Ravens meditate together as much as possible.

He's comfortable with the latest technology, even to the point of getting the Titan Tower computer a serious upgrade to a true AI, as well as improvements to the T-Ship (Cyborg wouldn't let Edward upgrade his baby, though...no way was that happening).

Edward recently discovered that he is a dragon from Solor's universe! He was sent to his current universe by a Tear of Oblivion for his protection as a small dragon due to the forces of Darkness being interested in corrupting the only hybrid dragon in their universe. Only the members of the Circle know the full story, though.

Edward also discovered that there are two other universes. One with the Solor that he is close friends with and helped that universe defeat Trigon the Terrible once again and helped end a very long war with the Dark Dragons. But, one of the Dark Dragons, being a sore loser, transported Edward to a different universe: Solor's *original universe* where he never was transported to Edward's universe. Sparks flew between the original Solor and Edward again, but, Edward chose not to get into any physical fights with his benefactor.

When Edward was rescued and returned to the "middle universe", Edward challenged the dragon who dared send him to another universe. It didn't end well for poor Nightmare.

In Edward's universe, he killed Trigon the Terrible ("Trigon Tries Again"), or so he thought.

However, after the War in Solor's world ended, it didn't take long for a short lived rebellion to start from Dark Dragons who were also sore losers. They joined forces with Slade who was taught by Malchior to raise dead dragons as zombies. During a battle at Mt. Fuji, though, Edward's wife was killed by Malchior. That sudden loss awoke Edward's Dark side and he proceeded to show Malchior that it was not a good idea to drink from that particular cup as Malchior was viciously killed. In fact, Solor tried desperately to stop an enraged beyond all reason Edward and was almost killed when Soskrein intervened. His Darkness couldn't fight that sort of love and Edward regained control.

But, the cost was high. Even though Edward's new friend Maldriin (A Life Dragon) restored Raven to life, Edward was put on trial and convicted. The Circle accepted Edward's guilty plea, but, instead of executing him, banished him to his home universe until such time that Solor, who represented Edward at his trial, and Vilea determined that he was in control of his Dark Heritage. Edward was also temporarily deemed unworthy of being an Heir as Grand Life was understandably livid that Edward wanted to destroy mankind in his temporary insanity.

During his penance, though, he discovered that out of seven dragons who sired Iilah's only child, six have since died. One, however, is still alive: The Grand Light of the Circle, Feylfil (or Sol).

Edward went through a severe depression as well, berating himself for months after the incident and it took a visit from Mally and Golmul to convince him that despite what happened, despite his glaring weakness...the troops of Lair stood behind their beloved commander. After that, Edward was allowed to re-enter Lair (well, it was still a month or so later) and restored to his position by the Circle.

He personally went to Tokyo and humbly apologized for his actions and was given the chance to redeem his honor in their eyes. So, he spent significant time helping to rebuild the damaged or destroyed shrines near Mt. Fuji. The Japanese were pleased at his work, but, felt that a temporary banishment from their lands was necessary. Edward understood their right to do that and moved on.

While Mally assumed Edward's original spot as heiress of Life, he accepted the position of Heir of Fire, something that as time went on, proved to be a better fit anyway. It also would give Edward a final gift: Being a member of the Circle someday would give him a chance to actually die and join Callisto, Paula and Raven in the afterlife.

But, it hasn't been a cakewalk, either. Unknown to everyone, Solor was given a top secret mission by a dying Dark Dragon with the "First's Sight"...a gift of prophecy. And, when Komi, a baby naga (half-dragon, half-Tamaranian) was a mere five months old...Solor disappeared, taking the baby with him. That forced Edward to immediately step in as Susie's godfather to raise her in Solor's stead. The search was utterly futile for over a decade until Solor finally decided to contact his Starfire. Then, it wasn't long until the team relocated Solor.

Even that reunion didn't go off perfectly as Edward's half-sister, Sosfil, also found Solor and tried to take Heir of Light by force. They fought at Solor and Edward's temporary place of employment until Sosfil tried to fight Edward. She was easily defeated, especially when a reformed Blackfire joined the fight on the dragon's side as well as the Titans.

His abilities include (but are not limited to):

1. Teleportation (place to place as well as through time itself, dimensional teleport for Teen Titans)
2. Telepathy/empathy
3. Shapeshifting to any form (like Beast Boy)
4. Enhanced language learning (Human and alien and retains that knowledge indefinitely)
5. Breath weapons (Fire, Ice, and Lightning.)
6. Immortality
7. Enhanced healing touch
8. Diamond hard scales
9. Ability to absorb electricity/lightning, converting that into a temporarily enhanced lightning breath.

NEW ABILITY: Starbolts as he was attacked by Blackfire and he can now use them when angry. Unlike his primary weapons that are usable at will, the starbolts need righteous anger to operate...Just like in the series. However, this ability may not be used much in the crossover to keep things fair.

NEW Ability #2: Solor's Blessing of Light (See above entry). After "Trigon's Dark Army", though, Edward lost that ability along with other enhancements from the Circle due to overuse/Magical resistance.

#3: All clan blessings. During Trigon's summoning in the center universe, Edward was given access to the blessings of all the clans in the Circle (except Darkness). While he lost those after the war, they were merely dormant. During the Brotherhood of Evil arc, Edward's other Blessings reignited when his niece was frozen. He has a native access to his Dark Blessing, though.

Darkness: During the short loved rebellion, Rachael was killed and triggered Edward's Dark Side. In his rage, he slaughtered Malchior and might have attacked Tokyo had Susie not gotten through to him when Solor failed. After serving a harsh sentence from the Circle and mandatory rehab from Solor and Vilea (Now Vicky), he has gained control over his dark side. Rachael was resurrected by Maldriin, a dragon from the Life Clan in the meantime that also rekindled his capacity to love.

Children: Edward has one son (Born in 1776) as well as Callisto (half dragon, quarter human, quarter Trigon) and an adopted Fire Dragon named Yolstav. For a decade, he raised Soskrein while Solor was off of a secret mission. Will also sire several dragon hatchlings after Raven passes away with Maldriin.

King of Emerald Section

Alright, last addition I'm going to add to this profile, seeing as most of what is seen here is already seen in the stories that we have written here. This little section is going to go over a few key things that have been added to the story, and why this is so different from what I had planned.

Soskrein

Sure, I always did want Solor to be seen as one who can get along with children very well. I was not originally planning, however, for Solor to have a child of his own within the main story. But seeing how well I'm implementing Soskrein (in my opinion, although it seems that the few of you who do actually review seem to enjoy her presence as well), I may include a small spinoff series that shows the trials that Solor has to go through, raising his daughter, in both this crossover series AND my own main series.

Returning To Lair

As Trigon is a huge threat to any universe, it would make sense for the dragons to call back the one dragon who has the closest connection to the gem back to Lair. But actually, in my main series, I'm not planning on bringing Solor back for this season. Saying it right here and now; IT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF EDWARD THAT THE DRAGONS DECIDED TO TRY TO STOP TRIGON. Without his assistance, things WILL play out differently.

Vilea

Vilea was going to be a part of the story, no matter what. However, her role has changed as time has gone on. Will she remain a good guy in my main series? Or will I make her as insane as her father? I won't decide just yet...

Solor's Mate

I will admit; when I designed Solor to be a Teen Titans OC (he was going to star in his own original story, but I couldn't get the words onto paper for his original story), I had every intention of pairing him with Starfire. But recent thoughts of how character personalities are being sculpted have got me thinking, and I might reconsider who Solor might end up with, or if he ends up with anyone at all in the near future.

All that I've written here is only from me. Splinter1 has no idea that these differences have been going on, and will probably be surprised to see me reconsider a few important aspects of my own stories.

Since this was written, there has definitely been many changes in the histories of Solor and Edward. Edward visited the Prime Universe a second time at the behest of the Circle to see how history diverged. Edward was pleased to discover that one hunch he had did play out. Solor did not need Edward's assistance to learn that it's far more important and honorable to fight for others instead of himself. Edward discovered that Solor had married Raven instead of Starfire and that they adopted Soskrein/Susie. Here, Susie took a lot after Raven, a fact that actually fooled Edward into thinking that Susie was a biological daughter to Solor and Raven at first. Solor was not angry that Edward had the wrong assumption and Susie was more upset at herself for a while, but, it did not take long for Edward and Susie to bond. It was something that Solor and Raven approved of.

Edward also discovered that Susie has a Dark personality that emerged during a spar between Vilea and Solor. Sosvulon was ready and, seemingly able, to kill Vilea as this universe's Dark Heiress/Grand Darkness had subjected Solor to far worse experiments than Starborn (in the middle Universe or "Earth-2" as Raven ended up calling it) endured. Edward almost intervened to stop Sosvulon, but, Solor was able to get her to stand down when it was revealed that, like on Earth-2, Vilea is Susie's biological mother.

Edward defeated Solor in a friendly cook off (but barely...Solor left his creation to cook a few minutes too long), and, Solor was quite gracious in the defeat, admitting that Edward had beaten him. The trip was a rousing success, for the most part. The only hiccup, which was minor, was right after Edward's wife was permitted to cross over. Edward stuck his tongue out and Solor gave Edward a Three Stooges move, triggering a game of Predator and Prey. It was all in good fun, though, as the two Ravens also got to know one another.

Edward did find out that Susie had an affinity for ice cream in the Prime universe that his god-daughter shared (well, maybe not as much as the Prime) and that there was a (he hoped) "running debate" with the owner of Jump's Scoop over discounted ice cream. Edward would, after he returned to Earth-2, help the owner get his store off the ground. Needless to say, the debate would rage through two universes.

However, Edward is on a long leave of absence from his duties. After taking a decade finding Solor and Komi, plus his ongoing duties as Lair's Commander-in-Chief, and, his lessons learning all he can about his people (and his duties as Heir to Fire), the Titans and the Circle allowed Edward to take as long of a break as he wanted.

It doesn't mean, though, that Edward is resting on his haunches. He's found the time to visit Kara Danvers ("Supergirl") on his home Earth (Note: This is the Melissa Benoist version of Supergirl) and even give her some much needed assistance while allowing her to forge her own path as much as possible.
