Tal Zhan (unlike the avatar) has the typical traits of an anthropic dragon found on SoFurry. His build is average (for a Dragon), standing just short of six and a half feet in height and with a toned, but not ridiculously muscles body. With his black body scales and red chest scales he has a dark appearance. His horns maintain the same Onyx black of his head and extend several inches from his reptilian head. He has the standard slit eyes of a Dragon, eyes stained a deep, piercing yellow that can display great kindness and ferocity found only in those who have known love and loss.

His tail is smooth and patterned loosely after his chest and body scales. The tip of his tail is a simple diamond tip that falls inline with traditional draconic physiology.

Tal Zhan's more personal details are as straightforward as can be. With a typical draconic slit and the bizarre twist of nature that grants Dragons their external testicles (going against all the principles of nature.).

His own personal history is vague and rarely told. As a Dragon his age is unrecorded and his past a jumbled mix of written record and oral history. Lacking a permanent mate, Tal sees no reason to bother writing his history as he expects to never have any spawn of his own. What little is known is fairly basic, during his golden years, the Dragon spent time raiding villages, subduing the population, and acquiring his gold hoard. With his days of pillaging behind him, and finding little use for a gold hoard, the Dragon has embedded himself into modern society as a unassuming descendant of some old Draconic clan. Taking on the auspices of a writer, Tal remains distanced from society and does mainly academic or journalistic writing. He currently seeks a companion to spend his time with, ideally a creature with a life span compared to his.
