Name: Tarkus

Dragon age: Grandfather

Age from hatching: 431

Gender: Male

Magic: Tarkus holds the heat of cataclysm within him. Fire would be too simple a word for his flames. No, his fire scorches the earth so that nothing may grow. It boils the oceans until everything dies, and it burns at your soul until there is nothing left. However, his most devastating magic comes from his wings. Normally, his wings are so large that they generate near hurricane strength winds but when angered they turn these gale force winds into a storm of fire and death. Thankfully, Tarkus is not easily angered and hasn't used the ability since he was an adult almost 200 years ago.

Tarkus is a truly massive dragon, roughly 25 meters long and a wingspan more than double that. In between his scales glows a power than screams respect.[/hider]

Personality: While he looks scary and has doomsday like powers, Tarkus isn't actually a bad guy. He's just a little jaded. However when you get him out of his funk you will find that he can be fun to be around, just don't hurt the weak or talk about his mate. For the most part he has gotten over his hate for humans, but he is still a little cold towards them.

Background: Tarkus had a fairly normal life growing up, he didn't do much besides eat, fly, and scare the pants off of humans he flew over. However that changed when he met his mate, a beautiful dragon of silver scales and elegant stature. It contrasted harshly with his black, jagged scales and hostile frame but against that they fell in love. For years they flew together, ate together, and lived together. However like all things good, it had to end. One day when Tarkus returned from a far off land, he came home to see his mate dead and the egg missing. After several days he found the culprits and razed the city to the ground. Nothing was left, but Tarkus didn't feel any better.

For a long time Tarkus was hateful of humans, killing all that entered his territory and razing any village that tried to form. Eventually however, he got over it. These humans never did anything bad to him and the ones who did were long since turned to ash. Tarkus now has vowed to not kill humans anymore unless they absolutely deserve it and has become a sort of bringer of vengeance in a quest for some form of redemption.
