[b]Name:[/b] Drachiathoryx, goes by Drache Sgarsiath to non-dragons [b]Race:[/b] Half-Dragon (red) / Half-human [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 150ish [b]Birthplace:[/b] Vermillio 51st 150DM (approximate) [b]Occupation:[/b] Archaeologist, Elementalist [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Pic][img]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n116/Drache04/dracheportrait2.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Pic][img]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n116/Drache04/35425651-2449-4582-800c-d7028035e9d8_zps0xsddibs.png[/img][/hider] Like most half-dragons Drache is tall at 6' and covered from head to toe in scaled skin. Most of her hide is red, fading to a coppery-gold along her ventrum. Other than her bipedal shape there is little to hint that her mother was human apart from a head of black hair that falls to her elbows. Her eyes are fiery in colour and reptilian with vertical pupils. Wisps of smoke drift from her nostrils when she is especially pissed. She has a pair of large dragon wings on her back, the thick muscles attaching them to her back suggesting that they are fully functional. Her tail is long and sinuous and watching her tail is often a better judge of her mood than her face. She rarely wears shoes, mainly because her legs are elongated so that she walks on talons rather than human feet. She is buxom and shapely, and usually wears fine clothing that accentuates her features. It is common to see jewelry decorating her horns or her throat, a testament to her finds when treasure-hunting and tomb-raiding. [b]Personality:[/b] Oozing with aloof confidence, Drachiathoryx is a singular woman of dominating presence and sultry tongue. Whether sprawled out beside a wilderness campfire or in the bed of this week's conquest, it's difficult to imagine a situation in which she is truly discomfited. But behind the flash of fiery eye and fang-revealing grin, the heart of a half-dragon can be a lonely one indeed. Having watched most of her childhood companions grow old and die, Drache is reluctant to make close friends with anyone except true dragons, who unfortunately tend to look down on their half-blooded cousins. Most of Drache's life is a careful balancing act between her two halves, draconic instinct warring with a love of the intrigue of high society. In general, Drache is outgoing and impulsive, but can also be sly and devious. She enjoys playing games of favours. She is also fond of shiny trinkets and artifacts, especially if they are magical. [b]History:[/b] Drache is the offspring of a powerful red dragon named Sgarsiathoryx who was one of the original founders of Pyresia, and an human Sensialist named Atarime. Her sire was dead before she was born, and her mother devolved into the madness brought on by losing control of one's magic. Wandering the wondrous city of Pyresia unescorted earned Drache the acquaintance of many interesting people from an early age. The value of this networking was a deciding factor in her success as a treasure-hunter. It also makes it easy to avoid having to spend her precious coins in an inn when she gets back into town. In more recent years she has discovered that her fire-breath is more than just that thing that happens when she gets Really Mad and has delved enthusiastically into the world of Elementalism. Her reputation has caught the attention of the Wyrmoot (the draconic side of Pyresian government) on more than one occasion. [b]Post-Creation History:[/b] A few years ago Drachiathoryx was hired by a mysterious green dragon to undergo a quest to scout out the city of New Vircastoria. Passing through the dry scrubland between the Pyresian jungle and the Kerawac plains she made new friends among the Kvaren. However, the journey did not go as planned. For beneath the ruins of old Vircastoria a terrible being dwelled. Cora, the God of Destruction, and the first God seen since the Death of Magic and it's subsequent return. Barely escaping with her life she returned to Pyresia for a time and then set off to rediscover the Elemental Temple of Wind. Her Elemental skill growing all the time, she has recently returned to Pyresia and intent on finding the other Elemental Temples.
