He has a firm build and strong shoulders from a short lifetime of martial drills. [hr][indent][i][h3][color=d8cfbe]𝕊o 𝕆n & 𝕊o 𝔽orth[/color][/h3][/i][/indent][color=d8cfbe]Reputation: [/color] For those that don’t personally know this young lordling and haven’t met him, the rumours are he is firstly a powerful gate wielder. Secondly he is just, kind and giving. Understanding the power of public opinion has caused him to create such an image. Those that have had the opportunity to meet him might say he can come off as quite the elitist snob. Swathed in an air of regal arrogance he is cold, condescending and and acts better than those around him. He has little time or attention for those he considers his lessors. (Commoners and non-mageborn) He will however make an exception for entertainers. However the few that get to know him know of the secrets behind his confidence, his endless drive and determination. The overwhelming irrational self expectations that he strives ruthlessly to uphold, forever requiring more than he has to give. [color=d8cfbe]Alignment: [/color] Neutral: leaning heavily towards Mages. There is nothing wrong with technology it is simply that mages are superior and should be the ones to posses it. [color=d8cfbe]Skills: [/color] As an ex elite judiciary investigator and justice deliverer for the Immolis family, Drakus worked on the high profile and discretionary cases that could not be left to just anyone. Therefore he is heavily trained in the art of combat, tracking, investigation and reading people. He is also an above exceptional dancer, versed in many styles. [color=d8cfbe]Backstory: [/color]Born a unique magical prodigy, Drakus was subsequently treated as such and believed himself to be a direct descendant of the mage queen herself. His self esteem and arrogance soared, growing alongside with his powers. This only put him at further odds with his brothers, who were surprisingly different to him. A fact that had never escaped Drakus. Drakus is no fool and is aware of the unfamiliarites between his siblings and himself. It is an unannounced fact that has divided them ever since childhood. Not only is it the hair and eyes but more importantly his gate. A contrasting opposite to theirs in both power and type. Even though never being told, Drakus still always assumed that he would be the next lord of Immolis despite one of his brothers being older. For he was blessed after all and had the far greater power. When lordship passed over not only his older brother but also he too himself and was instead granted to the youngest and most unseen sibling. Drakus was livid. Once the shock and disbelief settled, he was so furious that in his defiant rage he even attacked his family. The damage he had done that day, emotionally and physically could have been overlooked, could have been somewhat undone and left to heal if only he had wanted it to. But he hadn’t. Internal feuding went on for months before Drakus retreated with a small cohort of followers and claimed a patch of Immolis territory for himself, starting his own house. A house where he would be lord. [color=d8cfbe]Miscellaneous: [/color] Other relationships;[hider=Family relationships] Once upon a time he and his little brother Ruel were close. Drakus looked out for him, had a good laugh here and there and even played silly childish games when they were younger. But as they grew up those times became fewer and rarer. Drakus became focused on his gate while his brother became more of a recluse. They had little time for each other and not really connecting on any level or understanding, they eventually drifted apart. Drakus never saw Ruel as a threat until now, and wants him to hand over lordship. Since his succession it’s safe to say the two have become enemies. His older brother Cedric was a different story. As Drakus’s powers grew he bullied him more and more for it until he was too strong for him to continue on doing so. So instead he found other ways to terrorise and seclude Drakus. He disliked him before their fathers passing and continues to dislike him now. His father, the man least impressed by his abilities and the man he wanted approval from most. [/hider][hider=Pachel influence] Despite all his status and potential there was one man that continued to push and train the young lordling. A distant cousin known as uncle Roth Pachel who was not only his sword instructor but also pushed him to become an investigator and then judge. Worked under his employ when he held his own investigation sect and even later sheltered Drakus after the succession ordeal, always supporting the idea of building a new house. [/hider][hider=Elise Dalris] A childhood friend, Drakus never understood why she was around but enjoyed the gossip and rumours she would bring. They did artsy things together and occasionally spread their own rumours, some reaching a national level and still existing today. It was from those games with her Drakus learnt of the power of public opinion and image. [/hider][hider=Aazon Siduj] Once one of Drakus’s most reliable men, turned traitor at the Kvat dock incident. Escaped after being defeated and hasn’t been seen since.

Force, Light (secondary) [/sub] Drakus’s unique mastery over his gate is unparalleled. He is not just a prodigy but an anomaly. Harnessing the power of the sun he calls his gate ‘Solaris’. He even claims it to be a lost primary gate, while few there are those that believe him. With access to the power and heat of the sun he can manipulate the world around him in a number of unique ways. [color=d8cfbe]Flow: [/color] High.

[/list] [color=d8cfbe]History: [/color]Solaris is fastly becoming considered the epitcenter of all art, culture, indulgences and entertainment. With its grand theatrical stage, mighty coliseum, art academy and jongluers guild it is no wonder why. Strict laws keep the beautiful town a thing of vibrant peaceful harmony. However, it has not always been this way. [hider=Solaris History] <1610 Before it’s current incarnation Solaris was known as Kvat, a large flourishing northern trading town of Immolis. Born out of necessity and convenience it was built on structures of the past. Utilising the wide river that winded through and the close proximity of its neighbours, it cemented not only strong alliances but healthy profits too. Sadly as relationships dwindled between the neighboring houses so too did the great trading town of Kvat as people moved back to the security and safety of the capital. ~1616 This sudden flux of people leaving left a hole in the golden city of Kvat. Times became tough and desperate people were born. No one could imagine trouble in the lawful lands of Immolis, least of all those who looked outside it to deliver justice. Alas it brewed right beneath their noses. With the capital of Immolis no longer watching as closely over its little brother, Kvat fell victim to corruption. It spread through the town like a plague. It’s infectius disease even reaching back into the very heart of righteousness and law, Immolis itself. 1640: The dark truth about what Kvat had become was made apparent by an incident that occurred on the docks. A young Immolis heir was involved, barely getting out with his life. Taking personal offence to the tumour that had grown in their fair land he started what would be a two year witch hunt to root out and eradicat all the filth and vermin that corrupted the towns once good name. From there the near barren city underwent a transformational redevelopment. Given a new life, the town was the pride of the Immolis heir. Wanting to leave his mark and impress his father he ordered and oversaw the construction of the Lidicrum. 1645: The Lidicrum was finally completed. The large entertainment juggernaut, a multipurpose theatre, zoo and arena quickly caught the attention of many and the town once again began to grow. Run with strict rule and close observation 1646 The late Lord immolis’s passing caused a rift throughout the family and kingdom with the naming of his youngest son as his successor. After many months of internal feuding Kvat was granted independence and claimed by Drakus Immolis who renamed it Solaris. There were enough numbers and support during this time of political disruption and distraction for this claim to go through with only minor resistance. 1648 Solaris today A fairly infantile house that has only recently became. It’s foundations built around and upon a grand theatre, the first public zoo and a mighty coliseum. Amongst those that came to the attractions were bards eager not to miss a new story. Now they line the streets where bath houses and bakeries have grown, entertaining passerby’s hoping to one day have their own moment on the grand stage. The city is a beautiful place of high fashion, sculptures, floral decoration, colourful and vibrant. Even the buildings themselves are a work of art. Bards and performers can be found on nearly every corner, carefully managed not to clash, gracefully entertaining the passers by.[/hider] [color=d8cfbe]Districts: [/color]Solaris is divided into two halves by the river, upper and lower or newer and old. Housing is mostly spread out through the lower (old) with a bit in the upper (new) reserved for dignitaries, guards and the likes. [list][*][b]The Lidicrum[/b](Sight) In the upper most inner part of the rebuilt Solaris sits the Lidicrum. The grand grounds of a keep that hosts the states prized trifecta of entertainment. The Arena, theatre and zoo. Only the best and most qualified bards can grace these streets and merchant access is strictly monitored as to not effect or distract from the feel of this place. Within the grounds of the Lidicrum, the main entrance, sits The solar temple or temple of the sun. Another great attraction as it had become more of an art museum than holy house. [*][b]Aspirant grounds[/b] (Sound) Commonly known as the neophyte trap is the walled of section of upper Solaris reserved only for those attending or staying at one of the three great halls within. The Jongleur guild, the crafters alliance or the Music & Arts academy. Along the walls sits three towering Bell towers used to signal different events. [*][b]Plaisir[/b] (Smell) Filling in the the leftover space of the upper capital of Solaris is the Plaisir. Hosting Bath houses and pamperies to serve all intentions. It also has the finest Perfumeries to match and beautiful serene Flower gardens. [*][b]Craft district[/b] (Touch) This is much of what it sounds like. Consuming much of lower Solaris the craft district encompasses much and is home to the many print houses, jewellers, tanners, blacksmiths and tinkerers. Even the northern end of the docks and markets fall here. [*][b]The Sol[/b] (Taste) The deliberate play on words is announced as the heart of the city. It wide grounds stretching beyond the walls contains the Orchards, the winery’s, taverns and food market.[/list] [hider=Concept Art] [hider=Upper Solaris] [img] https://media.moddb.com/images/groups/1/2/1488/palace_of_the_corsairs_harad_by_direimpulse-d7ahq9v.jpg [/img][/hider] [hider=Temple of the sun (solar temple] [img]https://www.channelfireball.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/city-of-brass.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Lower Solaris] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFDT1S1WAAAfRTI.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Coliseum] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/3f/92/08/3f9208de5c954bd51105038418f237c6.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/58/27/3e/58273e1c7ad45a72da84155b976c9016.jpg[/img] [/hider] [/hider] [/hider]
