Physical Description
Harvey is, for the most part, what you'd expect from a man of Connlaothian descent. He is about average in terms of height, and has a light skin tone. His build is a little above average, due to his constant travelling and training. He has blue eyes and light blond hair. His hair is short, and he usually doesn't bother styling it as it tends to get messed up over the course of the day. Despite moving to La'marri, Harvey is most comfortable with Connlaothian fashion. He can almost always be seen wearing a leather jacket, to the point where he considers it a "signature" of his. He also carries a sword with him, which is particularly lightweight and built for speed and precision rather than raw power.

Soma is incredibly small in comparison to most other dragons, being small enough to comfortably perch on a human's shoulder. His body seems pretty standard, being quadruped and winged much like many other dragons. His skin is leathery and almost entirely white in colour, except for the underside of his wings and belly which are a dark blue. He also has dark blue eyes of a similar shade. When he's not in action, Soma can usually be seen resting atop one of Harvey's shoulders, his tail draped over the other.

Personality
Whenever he's not investigating, Harvey appears very calm and collected. He's pretty agreeable, keeps a sense of humour about him, and doesn't take very many things seriously. Sometimes he's prone to bouts of sarcasm, but is unlikely to get seriously angry. When he's on the case, though, his personality becomes more eccentric and unpredictable. He'll be a lot more excitable and reckless at points, then immediately turn dead serious at others.

Soma is generally the more reserved of the duo, preferring to let Harvey do most of the talking rather than speaking up himself. He's not really shy, though; most of the time, he's just trying to see if he can pick up anything odd about people or the surroundings. He responds well to compliments, but also responds equally poorly to insults and criticism. Soma is capable of extreme bursts of emotion, usually negative instead of positive. He ends up getting into a lot of arguments, at which point he becomes anything but quiet.

Both Harvey and Soma are very passionate when it comes to their investigations. They are extremely protective of one another, both willing to sacrifice themselves in order to save the other.

Magic/Abilities
Due to the sometimes dangerous nature of his work, Harvey has trained himself extensively in martial arts. He is proficient in unarmed combat and using improvised weapons, being able to hit hard while taking as little damage as possible. He's also a skilled fencer, being capable of duelling with plenty of agility and grace. He carries a concealed pistol, but it can only fire one shot before having to be reloaded. Because of this (and the fact that the sound of the gun hurts Soma's ears), he doesn't use it very often.

Soma is unusually sensitive to all kinds of stimuli, giving him heightened senses. He can detect things that most creatures wouldn't be able to notice even if they tried. To some extent, he can even sense the usage of magic in an area, making it a sort of "sixth sense" of his. These heightened senses are especially useful for picking up on small clues during investigations, but they can also be a hindrance. They make him especially susceptible to getting disoriented, and make strong stimuli very unpleasant (bright lights, loud noises, intense pain, etc.). When it comes to combat, Soma is even faster and harder to hit then Harvey, but is also a lot less durable.

In combat, Harvey and Soma work together to take down enemies. Usually, Soma will attempt to disrupt an enemies attacks, while Harvey is the hard hitter of the team.

Relationships
None yet (besides each other, of course).

History
Even as a child, Harvey was always fascinated by puzzles and mysteries, particularly those that were seemingly impossible to solve. He'd spend hours, days, and even weeks on them, refusing to move on from them until he'd figured out the answer. It was this fascination that drove him to become an investigator, a decision that was wholly supported by his parents. He eventually did achieve this goal, and almost immediately started working. Unsurprisingly, most of the cases he came across involved hunting down a magic-user, as using magic is one of the most serious (and common) crimes in Connlaoth. Eventually, he grew tired of doing the same kind of cases over and over again, so he decided to search elsewhere for more interesting mysteries.

Recently, his travels have brought him to the village of La'marri, which he now uses as a sort of "base of operations". There, he was investigating a case that was proving especially difficult. He didn't have any leads or clues of any kind, and very well might have had to give up if he hadn't met Soma. The dragon was also intrigued by the case, so the two decided to work together in order to solve it. Using Soma's powerful senses, the duo managed to overcome the odds and finish the case. Seeing how much they'd each enjoyed solving it, Harvey decided to take on Soma as his partner. Now, they're operating as a team, hoping to get out there and make a name for themselves.
