At least a rough draft. Hope it looks good. This is literally based on my old OC whose my current main's father, but with changes made of course to commit to the setting. He's a wind dragon, rather than your standard fire drake, hence the lack of fire breathing elements.

Silkly smooth red hair is often tied back, but may become more wild as needed. His outfits generally consist of a white pressed suit with a gray undershirt, but he may wear a black trenchcoat like piece over top black slacks and a purple shirt. His reddish eyes almost seem to reflect the onlooker, and he almost has an imposing aura. And yet, one can't help but feel an urge to trust at his smiling visage. His true form, that of an immense, silver dragon, who brings to mind standard western dragons, towers above the contenders, at nearly a story from the shoulder. With at least thirty foot wing span, and well over fifty feet or more in length, he's a massive feller. But it makes him a pretty big target. And it makes take off hard. (Stardust Dragon for appearance) [/indent] [u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u] [indent]Kind, considerate, thoughtful, ingenious, intelligent, resourceful. Slow to anger(usually), jovial, cheerful, if not humorous.[/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u] [indent]A mysterious archeologist with an even more mysterious past. Described as the perfect definition of a wanderer, he doesn't stay long wherever he ends up, unless he has no choice, or finds he likes it enough. In time though, when he deems it right, he will move on, returning at a later date, if ever. A wraith upon history. At least, that's the urban legend, of the Professor. A story that has become legendary over the decades and centuries of his life. The reality is as follows. A mythic type of being, who was born an untold amount of time prior, whether to a Dragon who was king, or to an actual dragon deity, matters not. For whatever reason, his nation was lost, and this dragon stepped into legend as a wanderer. Some versions of the story around him vary, saying he lost part of his memories, and fell through time(and space, given he actually hails from the other side of the galaxy), others say he repressed his memories and prevented gaining new ones fora time, until enough time had passed to distant himself. What is clear is that over centuries, sightings of him have cropped up across the globe, often in the form of him appearing at ruins or ancient sites, seeking something. Some claim its treasure, others claim he does it solely for adventure. Often when he appears, he offers his aid to those who need it, before then moving on. The truth is that he seeks knowledge, and information on where his people went, a young boy when his nation fell, an orphan of a dragon some of that society revered as a goddess. His reasons for being a Nomad are a mystery, he may enter a tournament and beat all who stand in his way, only to stop at the final match and let himself lose. Or he may simply interview locals. If pressed, the one said to be the Wanderer of Time will simply state he's doing research for a book, or seeking a rare item. To him, knowledge is more precious than any gold, more valuable than money, more important than even food. And the memories he associates with such are important. From lost tribes of the jungles, to the urban sprawl, he's trotted the globe, preferring to keep a low profile unless the world needs him. Some even dare say he's stood against corrupt regimes, to protect innocents. At the end of the day, he's a mystery, a vagabond with no home, but to whom the world is home. Such is the one they call the Professor, though no one seems to know what he's a Professor of, if anything. Note: His reasons for fighting are simply for the gathering of knowledge. But I made it mysterious for those in rp who want to draw wild conclusions. [/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u] [indent]With reservation, he fights, committing only as much energy to the battle as he feels is key. Even so, he moves with speed and grace, displaying skill far beyond even what seems applicable for a skilled human artist. He seems to have no proper style, instead fighting in a manner that almost makes one think he's dancing. His moves, while rarely flashy, are straight and to the point. That isnt' to say he won't perform for the crowds, but when no one is around but him and his opponent? No reason to show off. As a dragon, he possesses innate mystical power, namely in the form of being able to use wind and lightning as his allies, imbuing some of his attacks with said elements. He may use a sword if fighting a Ki user who uses swords, or a deck of cards against a gambler. Really, he just seems to go for whatever suits him best in the moment. As an effective space dragon wizard, he can do a lot of cool stuff. Including make his own dragons, but he's yet to figure that out. Go figure.[/indent] [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ [Thunder Surge][/u] [indent][Imbues the element of lightning into whatever he's using to attack with, the more conductive the material, the more effective it can be. Generally meant to stun a foe, by slamming a palm charged with lightning into the target][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Wind Spirit][/u] [indent][Imbues wind into attacks, to increase their knockback or cutting power, depending on if a blunt or sharp weapon is used][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Palm Impact][/u] [indent][Using Ki, the Professor applies a simple flat palm to the target, often used to catch a throw or kicked attack, if physical of course. Contact causes a small knockback effect, enough to often knock the foe off balance.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Tremor][/u] [indent][Uses Ki to create a subterrean shockwave, which is meant primarily to knock the foe off balance. Triggered by channeling ki into the leg, before then slamming against the ground with sufficient force][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Titan Fist/Kick][/u] [indent][Charges Ki into fist/leg, to then slam into an opponent with enough force to often daze.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Ki Spear][/u] [indent][Ki based projectile that lances towards a target. Often used for long range attacks due to high speed and accuracy.][/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ [Elemental Rainbow][/u] [indent][Using his immense knowledge of elemental magic, the Professor unleashes either a hail of ice spikes from overhead, rising walls of rock, cyclones, electro shock blasts, or a massive wall of fire(plus others as I come up with ideas) Can't be an element he just used. All require time to prep, which gives the opponent a chance to intercept.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Breath of Outer Space][/u] [indent][Temporarily shifts into his true form, to unleash a powerful, almost Godzilla looking style beam, that if held, can inflict immense amounts of damage on the foe. Takes time to charge, and if used, he'll become almost totally defenseless while he recovers.][/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ [Falcon Strike][/u] [indent][Just like, engulfs his fist in fire, and proceeds to punch the opponent so hard that if they do survive? That's one hell of a burn. He yells the attack as he does it. Learned it from a wandering martial artist who moonlights as a racer.][/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] [indent]Despite his immense power as a dragon, the Professor seems loath to use too much power, either out of a desire to conserve energy, or simply a desire to not kill. This can cause someone to overcome when he isn't going all out. His tendency to just throw a fight if he loses interest or finds a new source of knowledge to gather can, be used against him, as his guard may lower. Additionally, his desire for knowledge is seemingly unquenchable, making it possible to at least have a chance of luring him into a trap. He also seems to have to eat regularly, and if deprived of rest, can cause him to lose focus. Nor is he really good with...relationships, not romantic, just in general. One can only imagine why. His desire to aid may overcome his own common sense, so yeah. Also if he turns into a dragon, he's kind of easy to take down if the need arises.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][indent]Unlike most dragons, his people could easily take on human form, and did so to conserve power, and to better understand their mortal subjects. His ability to control lightning is derived from how such is considered in many circles to be a sub-power of wind. He also has a better regenerative factor than most humans, but this requires rest. He may manifest parts of his dragonic nature on occasion. The longest time he's been "recorded" to stay in an area, was a university town about a century prior, for a period of time that while ultimately unknown, was long enough for him to acquire the title of Professor. It is implied he may be a Professor of Archeology, or History. Either way, his immense amount of knowledge makes him a living history book. And a witty one at that. He's immensely lonely, due to how he's basically at this point immortal, short of someone actually managing to kill him, but due to this, he can't stand to form bonds, due to how short life is for most. He's been quoted to say that "is this why we took human form? To understand their pain, their joy? The meaning of their lives...its a beautiful tapestry." Its also theorized he may have a lair somewhere in a remote location, that stores all of his collections. Or he may just live in a city under an assumed name. Who knows, eh?[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
