Well, that wouldn't work out since he can't use a humanoid form, so it's fine. It'll just be a random side story for an alternate universe. XD
Hm... I see. Well but as a human, he has all the disadvantages of a human and the disadvantages of a dragon's appetite and the whole culture shock. He also isn't the type to destroy people... admittedly, I just think it would be funny to have a great and powerful dragon get mugged by a couple of small time robbers in a back alley somewhere.
Heh... I'd like to see him survive trying to have a job and earning money to feed himself.

Why not?

Name :
Kalinth
Age :
368
Race:
Dragon
Power :
Shapeshifting
Must study a creature and observe them for a long time to shapeshift into that creature. He cannot shapeshift into anything smaller than a coyote. Also, his appetite will always match that of a full-grown dragon, no matter what size he is.

History:
Knowledge has always been Kalinth's one true love, and understanding has always been his one true desire.
He wished to know how creatures were born, how they understood each other, and how they thought. He wished to know why some animals lived in the dark and others in the day. He wished to know why diseases happened, and why people fought each other and loved each other. Due to this innate curiosity, he spent much of his life observing the world. He made a habit of capturing interesting specimens and studying them.
Over time he has collected many different creatures to study, including humans and elves. Through them, he has learned their languages. Unfortunately for him, he still cannot speak their languages, it seems that the draconian throats were not made to pronounce words like the humanoid creatures. The closest he could get would be something like a large cat mimicking human words. Due to this fact, he doesn't even bother trying to speak the languages of humanoid creatures. It does; however, make eavesdropping easier. He has also learned to read, though he cannot write. He begged, cajoled, and pleaded with the elf to teach him to read texts in multiple languages until the elf finally agreed in exchange for his freedom. Of course, after freeing the elf, Kalinth quickly moved to somewhere far away. Just because he's eccentric doesn't mean he's a fool.
Mostly, he has been focusing on studying creatures like wolves, deer, cougars, etc. Unfortunately, most animals do not change their way of life as much as humanoid creatures do, so he is unaware that he is sorely lacking in his knowledge of humans. He also has no idea how to tell the difference between a female or male humanoid, except through scent. His interactions with females has been minimal at best, please excuse him if he is rather thick-skulled, and lacking in propriety.
Currently, Kalinth resides in a nice dry cave in a forested region and has filled his new abode with scrolls and tools and objects for studying. He enlisted the help of a earth-shaper dragon to make his house more comfortable and protected.
Dragons continue to grow so long as they're alive. Once a dragon reaches the adult size, growth slows down significantly, but they do continue to grow until their deaths.
Personality :
Kalinth is a strangely curious dragon. Unlike many of his kind he holds no ill-will to any species in general. He is patient and his motto is to wait and and see before you make a conclusion. Unfortunately, he's more like a clumsy absentminded bachelor scholar than a fierce dangerous dragon. He can be surprisingly sensitive though, and he often views things in the long term. He is rarely angry, but as you know, it's terrifying when you manage to make a gentle-person angry. He does however, have a high level of tolerance.
That's even more exact. You seem to have a timeline in your head already.
Got it, what an exact number.
How long has it been since dragons and humans got along?
Let the chips fall where they may.
Name :
Alireth Songsteel
Age:
17
Race:
Human
Power:
She has no power.
History:
Alireth was born in a little village on the outskirts of the kingdom. Her village was barely protected, because the kingdom could not afford to protect all the little villages far away from their capital. It was a hard existence, but the villagers managed to eke out a living through the skill of their smiths and their farmers. The soil was poor and rocky, but with careful effort and time, it was made fertile. Somehow, by some miracle, they managed to survive without drawing the attention of bandits or raiders. Sadly, that was not to last.
As they grew, so did the risks, and inevitably, they drew the attention of bandits. Much to their misfortune, this group of bandits were deserters from the army. The villagers had no chance against them, but not knowing this, they fought back. All who took up arms were massacred unconditionally. It did not matter if they were an old granny, or a young boy, those who made any attempt to fight back or defend themselves was brutally murdered.
Alireth, at the time, was an apprentice blacksmith. She was 15 at the time, and unlike her master, she chose to hide when the bandits came. She managed to flee outside the village, and hide in the long grasses and shrubbery outside the village. The bandits decided to occupy her village, so she chose to escape and bring the guard. It took a sennight to get to the guard post, but their reaction was immediate and satisfying. A week later they rode out to her village, and tried to take back the village. The deserters were wise enough to set up guards and look outs, so unfortunately, the guard could not surprise them. Women and children were used as hostages and shields, and for a long time, they were at stalemate.
Eventually, the guard prevailed, and managed to rescue most of the survivors. Some of the guards who Alireth became friends with did not survive, and she learned how to bandage wounds and care for the injured. The survivors bore wounds that went deeper than their physical bodies. Women and children had been defiled, abused, and had seen loved ones die. After this, the village was abandoned and Alireth chose to set off on her own. She drifted around, honed her craft, and learned to survive.
Currently, she's staying at a border town, trading her services at a blacksmith for food and coin.
Personality:
Alireth is very much someone who follows her own whims. She seems carefree and relaxed a great deal of the time. Even in strange situations she stays relaxed, it tends to be minor details that get to her the most. She is someone who doesn't form strong attachments.
I see. Hm... how's their lifespan?
So... Dragons are basically strong magical animals.
You'd think such large brains would be more intelligent...
Or do they have their own language? Also, how big is an adult dragon?
