The Character
Name:
Nicknames: Artie, Dar'Vaeg
Gender: Male
Age: 210
Race: Half-dragon
Rank: Outcast
Job: Soldier of Fortune. Adventurer
Description Arthur stands taller than most at 6ft4in. He weighs around 210 pounds of pure muscle. He has long blonde hair and blonde beard. He has bright blue eyes that are like a dragons eyes. He somewhat ruggedly handsome. he has a few scars on his person. He walks with the air of a half tamed wolf. He mostly wears his mithril armor over a white shirt and dark pants. He also has a dragon tattooed on his right arm.
In half-dragon form his scales are the purest of blue. He stands erect like a human at 12 feet. He weighs as much as 800 pounds. He is more heavily muscled in this form. His wing span is at least 5 feet. His talons on his feet and hands are 2 to 3 inches wide and very sharp. His tail is at 5 feet in length. In his full dragon form he around 50ft tall and weighs 2000 pounds. His wingspan spreads an impressive 18ft in this form. His talons and claws are about the size of a short sword and just as sharp. His scales are still blue.
Personality: Arthur is a warrior by birth and by creed. He is a man devoted to duty as well as honor. A man of extreme dedication when he seeks to achieve something he goes after it no matter the cost. He is a man who does follow orders but will often choose his own way when he knows it is right.
Arthur is a brilliant man with knowledge of military tactics and strategy and fighting skills. As such has a six sense in battle. He has been known to lead people but his attitude on this is as follows. Lead me, Follow Me, or get the hell out of my way. He has no tolerance for cowardice nor stupidity. He is however truthful and will tell you what’s on his mind but he has been known to tweak the truth or bend it without outright lying if the occasion calls for it
He does have his other flaws. He is no diplomat as he prefers to get things done through actions than words. So he has no patience for politicians, or even nobles whom he has an intense dislike for because they see themselves superior through birth rather than action. He is also quite aggressive believing in always being on the attack never letting up for a single moment until the enemy submits or is dead. And sometimes because of his dedication to seeing a task done he does not often let anything or anyone distract him. And the limits of his mercy only extend to the innocent or the weak everybody else he will cut down if they do something that hurts people or gets in the way of his path. He is guided in life by 14 rules and then one law that ultimately says Cut. Once Committed to Fight Cut. All in all that Arthur is man who loves a good challenge in life and roams from one place to the next all in the name of helping people who truly needed and stopping people who ultimately want to do harm.
History: Arthurs birth does not begin as most do for Arthur is not like most people. He is half-dragon and that alone should interest you enough to hear the tale. Arthurs mother was elven, here name was Serene Mandraeg one of the younger daughters of King Alkair Mandraeg Heir of House Mandraeg in the Woodland Realms of the elves. His mother was out riding one day when was happened upon by a vile cult who kidnapped her with the intent of sacrifice. These cults took her into the mountains where Dragons were known to live and in fact it was Dragons they were intent on sacrificing her to.
Now it happened as the days went past and they reached the point of sacrifice that a dragon had been watching their progress. Now this dragon was a very noble dragon, a very strong and very old dragon. Now this dragon did not like these cultists and decided it was high time to deal with them. So this dragon swept and killed them all. He released the elf Serene and told her to return home. However she did not know the way out and was very weak from the ordeal.
So the dragon whose name she learned was Nar'Vaeg took her to his home and looked after her until she was ready to return. Now the elf was scared of this dragon for she had heard tales of them. But as time passed her wounds healed she found that the tales held little truth at least with this one. So she decided to stay if only to learn about this dragon that defied the tales. The dragon of course was glad for the company for he had been alone for ages upon ages. Most of his kin had died or had abandoned him. She also found out he was a War Dragon..
Now War Dragons are quite possibly the most dreaded of their kind and for good reason. For their kind was created by the gods for the purpose of War. War on who you might say, well knowing how very powerful dragons can be, the gods designed the War Dragons as a check on Dragon kind. And so thats what they did wage war on their own kind. However that did not last and the War Dragons rebelled against the gods and lost. And since then the War Dragons have been seen as traitors to the gods and worse sometimes to their own kind.
As time would pass feelings between the two grew. Of course neither knew them for what they were until one day Nar'Vaeg didnt come back from his hunt. And so Serene worried. He did not return for days and when he did he was hurt. By another dragon. That another dragon could hurt Nar'Vaeg might be saying something but that dragon did not live to tell about it. Of course Serene returned the dragons kindness and nursed him back to health and both realized that they did love each other.
Now dragons are known for their magical abilties and one of these is shapeshifting and that is usually how half-dragons are born when a dragon shapeshifts a mates with another species that is not dragon. And so that is how Arthur came to be. Of course he would not be the only child of the two people.There would be a younger brother years later, followed by a Sister. They lived a good life a simple life high in those mountains. Arthurs father taught them everything a dragon should know and then everything besides, from fighting and magic to things they needed to know about life, and various languages as well. Time passed and at 18 Arthur left home with his father giving him a gift of a sword named Narinlor that bore a heron on it. He said once that sword was recognized as a masters sword. now prove to be my sons and earn it. Arthur left home and adventured across the land for many years finding various peoples and cultures. Even getting into spots of trouble more than a few times. He earned himself a reputation as a wandering swordsman and then eventually a sellsword.
And for close to two hundred years Arthur has gained the reputation of being the deadliest mercenary and warrior but also one with a conscience. He constantly gives out cards that say Have Sword. Will Travel.
Powers/Abilities: Master of the Sword. Expert in Magical Combat. Can change shape mostly does this for his dragon form. Expert in Fire and Eath Spells. Force of Nature. Spellblade.
Narinlor: The Masters Sword. Unbreakable, ever sharpened, attuned only to Arthur.
