This sounds lovely, I'm already a fan.
Name: Jason Draconfen
Age: Born in 1684
Gender: Male
Nickname: Jersey Devil
Appearance:


Magic: Fire magic (Minor control and production of fire, the fire produces is called dragon fire, which is essentially normal fire except it burns off a magical energy in addition to natural elements. The flames can only be produced from his body. Such as a fire breathe attack or igniting his whole body in flames, and can only manipulate the flames while they have contact with his body. So he cannot redirect a fireball, but can redirect a tendril of fire.)
Draconic traits/transfiguration, passive traits such as superior physical attributes, immunity to being burned, and eternal longevity. As well as weaknesses such as vulnerability to the cold and suffer from greed and pride to varying degrees.

Transfigurations may involve temporary transforming or growing body parts such as a tail. Or transforming a hand into a dragon head. In its most advanced state the user can turn into a full dragon, but such power is hard to obtain.

Summoning dragon spirits are also possible, but usually last no longer then a minute, so their uses are more of temporary offenses or defensives as having them out too long is far too draining of energy to be useful. Examples of this are summoning a translucent, ghastly dragon serpent to block am energy based attack, or a ghost tail to swing at enemies, or even shrouding in a ghost of aura to perform a massive punch.)

Position: Witches

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Familiar:
The egg, remaining unhatched for generations, from the very first of his line of dragon witches, is said to be that of a dragons. It passively gives off a dim fire-like light and has a warming presence to it. The egg has been harnessed into a pendant, and its unique properties make the egg as a talisman instead of a familiar, helping to cast more draconic spells or temporarily summon spirits of deceased drakes. Jason keeps his familiar around his neck, for now it is more of a talisman then a familiar, but perhaps one day it may hatch.
Personality: Greedy and prideful, collecting whatever cash or treasure he can steal or collect, and he Solitary and lives as a hermit, however he may go out of his way to help a fellow witch, especially if the witch in question would pay for his services. However it isnt a rarity for him to help in the more extreme situations and not expect a reward. Living alone makes him lonely, but he is too antisocial to go out of his way to just talk to others.

Bio: Jason comes from a line of witches that worshipped the ancient (and likely now extinct) dragons, for over a thousand years worth of generations they have thrived and called themselves the order of the dragon. It is said that a great dragon spirit or god have blessed the bloodlines of the several families that made this order. However in recent decades the survivors have been killed, Except for Jason all of his family had been slain, escaping with the only treasure that had survived since the order's fall centuries prior, the dragon egg. (Dragon witches that have advanced their Draconic traits have showed to be immune to intense heat and fire, so they had to be executed via impalement.) He now lives in the woods of Salem, having made a small underground shelter beneath the soil. Salem being a popular place of witches in secret, he occasionally scouts the town from the tree lines to see if any other witches are endangered. The villagers call him the Jersey Devil due to his occasional use of transformations and his reputaton of raiding and killing travelling merchants, soldiers, or lost individuals that enter his woods, the pine barrens. (most of his reputations are rumors and tall tales by the locals, but he has at least killed plenty of people to suite the need of one of his rites every decade or so.) Many of his victims for his tributes were taken from people who wander in his woods.

Price for dragons: Dragon witches can pay for their power in different ways. For each solsitice, the witch may do one of the following, however if they fail to do any tribute, they will not only loose their powers, but will spontaneously combust or be consumed by a dragon spirit. If a witch does more then one, then they may get extra time, such as being free of needing to tribute the next solstice.
-: Smelting gold or other precious metals into either a pit, volcano, or a dragon shaped structure, such as a statue or a doll made of wood. However the total amount of liquid metal must be enough to at least fill an Olympic swimming pool.

-Burning 3 humans or one witch, preferably alive and conscience. The fire must be of the dragon fire the witch produces, so they cannot cheat by being present at a witch execution.

-Burn down a village or farm (if one burns a farm they must also at least burn half of the cattle. If the farm doesn't use or have cattle present, then burning down the crops will suffice. If a village, the village must be at least 1/4 destroyed. Cities and towns count as villages. This also must be done by the witches's own fire.)

-Kidnap a female of high social, wealth, or governing status, or a female witch. (must be imprisoned in lair, and must remain there until the next year on the exact same day this tribute started, or alternatively, can be killed after the next solstice. A prisoner may be kept to continue paying tributes, however if the prisoner has been in there over two solstices for tribute, then another price should be paid, otherwise the moment she escapes the tribute will be nullified and well, the death will be immediate.)

Other: While his dragonic traits make him unable to burn, he is easily weakened by cold conditions like the cold-blooded beast he worships. As such, he rarely exits his home during winter months. His traits also allow him to keep his youth despite being so old, and his eyes glow like candles in the dark. His familiar/talisman is warm enough to satisfy him in weathers of 50-60 degrees, but any colder is too much for him.
@BlackPanther

Interesting, that will be fun to interact with.

And ofcourse, which his why is lair is a small little cavern he dug himself in the middle of the pine barrens, dense forest with little, if any, manmade structures. Perfect for hiding, and ambushing.
@BlackPanther
Idk my issue is he hates the government after what happened to his kind, and he innately now wishes for utter anarchy and chaos, he is also sympathetic with other witches. He's definitely not perfect and will kill or kidnap witches without hesitation if he's desperate, but the government part may be a stretch. If he is going to be an antagonist, id prefer him being a more of a side villain that is reasonable to converse with and doesn't do evil for the sake of evil, let alone enjoying the evil he does.
So many possibilities I can go with these ideas.
@BlackPanther
Kidnapping or burning?
If its kidnapping that would be very interesting, hell if thats the case he can try to capture Beth,@Gisk

But burning well, thats just gonna make him more evil isnt it? Would that change him to neutral since he's now going to be killing witches as well? Or does he make a deal with the government to kill other witches?
Because of his greed he's not going to get rid of his valuables, so the only other option is to kidnap, but that's risky because the rite will be nullified if she escapes.
@BlackPantherh
Haha yeah, but he's only a bad guy because he will die a horrifying and sudden death if he isn't c:
@BlackPanther
I mean who's to say he wont kill infants, whatever he can get is all the same really. Fits in the Jersey Devil Alius to for snatching babies that live near or get lost in the woods.
@Gisk

Sounds great and I look forward for Jason being the foil to Beth.
