Character Theme - You Can't Take Me, I'm Free
Ruin's whole build is lean and wirey, short by most standards. Her skin is covered in tiny bronze scales that shimmer a red in light and can cast quite a dazzling display. Her horns are small along with her fangs but they both make her appearance suitably alien and frightening to look upon for most men. Her wings are thin with a parchment-like texture and the bones are brittle and light. Her tail is thin but very long and prehensile with a powerful grip. Her spine has small spikes running from the base of her neck to the small of her back. Her feet are raised somewhat like a dog's but larger, wider and with more strength behind them. Her eyes are an odd shimmering grey colour mostly, but they actually change depending upon the weather and her temperment.
Name - Ruin Grey
Age - 76
Race - Half Dragon, Half Human
Gender - Female
Sexuality - Pansexual
Allegiance – Technically allegiance to the Queen
Personality - Ruin has an almost legendary temper, unpredictable, violent when it comes and bloodthirsty. On the whole she distrusts all others around her and can casts a cold and steely aura about her wherever she goes. Her good will is hard won and to become her friend is an even greater miracle. However once given, her friendship and loyalty run deep in her heart and her responsibility for them ingrains itself upon her mind. She is not compassionate but she does have good intuition about most things and she can be very understanding when she can be bothered to. She is apathetic to all except those closest to her, she wouldnt abandon an innocent to die if she could help it but she does not trouble herself with the accidental casualties her battles can cause.
History - Ruin's mother was a Ranger from the tribe in the north, named Leeta, a fine hunter and a survivor, niece to the head of the House. Ruin’s father was the vibrant red dragon, Methuzar, who could transform himself into a human for short amounts of time. He possessed an oddly gentle and inquisitive temperament for a dragon and he enjoyed posing as a travelling minstrel in order to study these new humans whom had invaded his lands from across the water. Still he was noble and grand and old by any human standards. The pair met whilst Ruin's mother was on one of her scouting trips, a far more dangerous activity than most would think. He spent some time with her out in the wild and Ruin’s mother swiftly discovered he was a dragon. This caused a temporary lack of trust between them but gradually they worked past it and eventually they fell in love and had two children, Ruin and her elder brother Ruukan. Their relation was not much of a secret, having a dragon as your lover was a fine deterrent to violence. In fact the House Grey seemed bemusedly pleased with the union, especially when it produced children.
It was a surprise even for the Leeta and Methuzar, they hadnt even considered children a possibility. But Ruukan arrived and then Ruin followed soon after and they found happiness in parenthood together. They raised the pair as best they could, although Methuzar would often leave them to go about his wanderings, not being a static being and needing change and travel. Leeta didnt seem to mind and neither did their children, finding joy when their father was around and peace when he wasnt. They grew up strong and wild under the protection of their father until first Ruukan and then Ruin found their wanderlust and could no longer remain in one place. Ruin and her brother went separate ways, being of different dispositions. Ruukan chose to travel around the world with his father while Ruin stayed with her mother, learning to survive in the wild and gaining knowledge of healing from her amongst many other things. However they still met often and Ruukan has always been very protective of his sister.
But Ruin's life changed dramatically very suddenly. Whilst being children they had been surprisingly inconspicuous, The Tribe in the north did not make a point of telling all and sundry that one of their ladies had the bastard children of a dragon. But now, as adults, there was no keeping their existence a secret. For a while just their heritage made them too frightening to confront and they were left alone by the Queen's men. However gradually as they became more and more renowned the Queen of Hearts could no longer ignore them. They were officially declared outlaws and a substantial bounty placed upon their heads. Ruin and her mother lost contact with their family and had to secrete themselves away in the northernmost Mountains. They spent some months there in solitude, covertly ignored by their tribe. But finally they were discovered by Ironclaw Hunter's and dragged away. Ruin was taken to the Dungeons of the Ironclaws and spent long torturous months there, beaten, bloodied and broken in their cruel underworld. She truly learned to hate in those dungeons, where once she was a hearty and joyful person full of hope, now she was all pain and anger and hopelessness.
Ruin would have rotted in those dungeons or died there if not for her tracking ability. The Queen reluctantly saw how useful she would be in rounding up the remaining magical creatures and cunningly imprisoned her mother, Leeta, in the most fortified and secreted cage imaginable. Ruin was warned that, if she were to disobey the Queen or her father were to do anything that might harmfully affect her kingdom, Leeta would be tortured and eventually brutally killed. Ruin was told that she could move about as she liked so long as no one told her otherwise, the Queen enjoying have such a rare and impressive trophy in her power and liking to show her off to her people, like she showed off her dragon heart. Ruin had lost all heart, all the fight beaten from her and she acquiesced, soulessly venturing into the secret havens of her magical brethren and capturing them to be dragged away into the dungeons.
For a long while her body moved seemingly without her mind's presence and she fought and killed as though brain dead. However her mind was not one of placid weakness, she was a dragon, she rebelled against containment and confinement. So she began testing her chains, letting some of her bretheren go at the risk of punishment, sometimes bringing back some other head to prove her kill. And so she continues carrying out the awful tasks given to her with a grim determination to survive.
Skills and Abilities -
Ruin can hear the words of the wind, from wherever it blows she can be told of what it passes and can decipher the lay of the land and any danger that they might encounter upon the way.
Her dragon hearing is exceptional, powerful as well as exact. He can pick out a single voice in a crowd and identify a person by the sound of their heartbeat. However her human mind can often not cope with the intensity of this level of hearing and it can be a curse as loud noises often distract her and at worst cause her to become paralyzed for a few moments.
Her eyes are like eagles, picking out a solitary figure on a distant horizon. She can also tell if someone is lying unless they are particularly skilled at it, noting tiny changes in their facial expressions and calculating telling ticks in their body language.
Her reflexes are astounding, unparalleled, able to react to something before it even fully occurs in an almost premonition-like manner. She is also fast and strong with her strikes, using continuous, unrelenting circles and spirals of her two small swords to batter her enemies into submission, or lightning fast strikes to vital areas to give a clean kill.
Other than her combative powers she is also an adept healer, being knowledgeable of almost every medicinal or poisonous plant or creature in an area unless she has never been there, and there are very few places she has never been. She can also often detect what is wrong with a person just by using her delicate hearing and detailed sight.
What with her dragon blood, meditation sometimes allows her insight and inspiration into things, it might be a sudden burst of clarity or perhaps she might be given a brief hunch of the best trail ahead. She calls it 'the drums of the world' and they can either tell her vitally important things, or nonsensical tripe about the weather. However this is only useful when she is in a calm mood, a state she rarely enters nowadays.
Her dragon legs give her great sprinting speed and good jumping ability. Although she cannot fly, beating her wings allows her to fall down any high drops without hurting herself and she can glide a bit.
Lastly her dragon blood also grants her immunity to illusionary magics of the mind. She can see through all deceptions created by magic and cannot be hypnotized or incapacitated in any way using mental magic. Physical magic is also slightly less effective against her.
Weapons and Arsenal -
She has a pair of thin blades. They are forged in her father's dragon fire so they are abnormally durable and can slice through magical barriers and other magical forces.
Her entire body is littered with knives of differing shapes and sizes.
Her pack is always full of ingredients for poultices and other remedies

Name: Yennefer McNeill
Age: 28
She is short and dumpy for her age and her hair is very rarely unknotted, usually being tied back with a black piece of linen.
Personality: Yennefer is gentle and somewhat mild mannered but firm when she needs to be. She can calmly take control of a situation and very rarely loses her temper, these traits being products of being a doctor. She is empathetic and sensible but not necessarily kind or warm-hearted which in her youth meant that she blurted out her thoughts and made those around her angry. To counter this she has developed a very polite personality, always observing the most diplomatic way of saying things. She has found it the best policy for her life in general. However this does not mean she is proper. She considers the confines and ideas of virginity and modesty to be meaningless and stupid and so generally has a flirtatious personality.
Backstory: Yennefer's parents were crofters, farming the land and raising herds of cows and goats. She always had an interest in bodies and how the animals survived and what they looked like when they died so it didnt take long for her to take an interest in medicine. Her parents were pretty supportive, her mother being especially proud of her and even allowing her to disect animals dead from disease. She experimented with herbs on sick animals, sometimes they died quicker but gradually her success grew further until she was the one her Village turned too when anything was ill. As she grew older she got itchy feet, she wanted to do more with her skills and knew of a monastery outside the city that trained women to heal the sick. It was a long way away but she was determined and her parents were so excited about their daughter's talents that they told the whole village and gathered support for her. Eventually all of the trustworthy Men of the village who could be spared were sent to escort her to the City, the send off being a large feast with everyone wishing her well and telling her to come back and visit when she could.
The journey there was somewhat dangerous but her bodyguards kept her safe and whenever one of them was injured in the line of duty she would quickly patch him up. They reached the monastery and the nuns there were very eager to take her on as a student. For a moment it was a little rocky, Yennefer ranting a little after being told she had to become a nun to heal the sick, but she quickly conceded defeat and tried to be demure about it. She stayed there for four years, becoming an excellent pupil, if a little frustrated at the confines on her actions and flirtations. A war erupted late into her training and she and some other sisters were brought to the outskirts of the battle to tend to the wounded they brought in. It was a shocking and hardening thing for her. She was not squeamish about bodies but the way some soldiers had been sliced and hacked apart turned her white. After the battle she left the nunnery and instead apprenticed under the Surgeon she had met in the battle. He was surprised at her request but was not particularly bigotted about women doctors and had certainly witnessed her prowess in the battle. She had just turned 19 when she left. The surgeons name was Kaleb and he was a fine and kindly man, happy to teach and help wherever he could. He took her to various places from the depths of a dungeon to the villages in mountain valleys to more battlefields and all the way he healed those who could pay him a small fee or offer him some food. Yennefer learnt well from him and eventually liked him very much. He was probably her first real crush but she herself never pursued it, him being much older than her.
Some few years after their meeting and Yennefer was ready to make her own way in the world. Amongst other things Kaleb had taught her he had also taught her to defend and fend for herself. Archery was something she was pretty good at and she always kept a few knives tucked in various places around her body. She had used them a few times already before she left. Generally she was not very strong of body, good at running and climbing but punching or pushing someone away would be difficult. However she was good at wriggling out of tight spaces and so she always escaped any trouble generally unharmed. She was concerned about the way the world was going. A darkness was coming over the land and it worried her, she felt like the earth was sick and she didnt not know how to cure it, which was rare for her.
It was around this time that she met a strange man, Merrick was his name, she had come to a village near to his estate to help stop the spread of some mystery sickness. He watched her for a while and when she was finally getting a little edgy and concerned he introduced himself and told her a great many fantastical things. She was skeptical at first but eventually after actually seeing his Dragon, a black graceful creature, she was convinced. It took a little consideration but eventually she agreed to becoming a so called 'Dragon tamer'. If this was the remedy the world needed then it was her duty to try and use it, to put her full dedication behind it.
Skills/Abilities:
Bonded Ability: She took on some of her dragon's earthshaking talents, suddenly gaining much more strength, gaining the ability to stamp her foot and create cracks in the ground or punch a wall and break it in half.
Skills: She is an incredibly experienced and adept healer, having expansive knowledge on most herbs and remedies wherever she goes and understanding a human body very well indeed.
She is well travelled and can fluently speak two other languages while knowing many more. She also has knowledge of the various states and how they are faring, friends amongst every reach of life telling her all that occurred in the various cities.
She is a pretty decent shot with a bow.

Name: Edward McNeill
Age: 54
Gender: Male
Profession: Police and Federal agent Negotiator, PHD in Psychology and Communication
Social Network Status: (he really doesnt go in for that kind of thing)
Upbringing and History: Edward was born on the isle of Skye off the coast of Scotland. His family wasnt poor as most people believe scots crofters are, in fact they were quite well off in comparison. But the family preferred rural island life to the bustle of the mainland and Edward grew up quietly and happily. It became obvious to his parents and his school that he had a good and inquisitive mind and he generally excelled in most things. He was excessively thoughtful of others though, keeping his own problems completely to himself and dealing with them that way as well. He very quickly decided he wanted a career in the police forces, however his parents were discouraging, considering it a waste of his mental capabilities. So with this in mind he instead pursued a degree in Criminal psychology in the University of St Andrews.
His undergraduate tutors recognised both his abilities as well as his wishes and very quickly recommended him a career in Police negotiation and, after some consideration and discussion with his family, he dedicated himself fully to this path. As a young adult he was charismatic and one of those people who seemed to have everything sorted in their life. People naturally gravitated towards him and throughout his university years he had a large friendship group. However he was bad at keeping friends close, being someone who always insisted he was alright and generally ignored his own mental well-being. So those who wished to know him better hit a wall and never got any further. For some it was easy to accept while for others it was aggravating and they usually drifted away. He finished university and entered a Police academy to continue his pursuit of his career, gaining firearm and combat experience along with a sturdier mindset and an even more hardened exterior. He was very good at empathy, it was discovered, very good at watching a person and understanding their motives and actions. His tutors allowed him special opportunities to meet with experienced negotiators and be present at police interrogations.
It was in Police academy that he met his wife Catelyn. She was a fiery and passionate person and basically swept him off his feet. They laughed together and were excited together and generally their romance was pretty average. She wanted to go to america after they had finished their training. Edward did not like the idea but he never properly expressed this, again putting his feelings aside for others. They Graduated both with merit and Edward said goodbye to his family before taking the flight to New York, his new wife having already bought a house for them in the city. Edward wasn't happy in the city, it was far too busy and loud for his taste. But again he never said anything and finally began his Career as a Police negotiator. The district department was very glad to have him and eagerly gave him the job. He didnt have a perfect record of success, no one did, but the large majorities of high risk situations he was put into ended well without many human casualties and this was definately what Edward enjoyed doing.
He had chosen his career well and this was the source of happiness in his life. This did mean however, that he spent less and less time at home. The couple had a daughter two years after their marriage, Allison, and Edward doted on her and loved every minute of fatherhood. He was a good father, except for his continuous absence. Gradually Catelyn and he began to drift apart, sometimes there were rows, sometimes there was silence, but mostly they just began to ignore each other. Eventually Edward finally expressed his hatred of the city and his misery at having been dragged halfway across the world from all his family and friends and how much he wrongfully blamed her for it. It was the end of their marriage, Catelyn horribly bitter at having been lied too and pushed away for so many years and Edward just tired. It was an amicable divorce in general and they determinedly tried to work out the best way for them to still raise Allison together. It was well thought out and Edward and Catelyn had as much of an equal involvement in her life as possible. Nothing was perfect but they all moved forward together. Edward still had to stay in New York, but this was something he had to do for his daughter and he accepted that completely, continuing to find happiness and enjoyment in his work.

He very quickly decided he wanted a career in the police forces, however his parents were discouraging, considering it a waste of his mental capabilities. So with this in mind he instead pursued a degree in Criminal psychology in the University of St Andrews.
His undergraduate tutors recognised both his abilities as well as his wishes and very quickly recommended him a career in Police negotiation and, after some consideration and discussion with his family, he dedicated himself fully to this path. As a young adult he was charismatic and one of those people who seemed to have everything sorted in their life. People naturally gravitated towards him and throughout his university years he had a large friendship group. However he was bad at keeping friends close, being someone who always insisted he was alright and generally ignored his own mental well-being. So those who wished to know him better hit a wall and never got any further. For some it was easy to accept while for others it was aggravating and they usually drifted away. He finished university and entered a Police academy to continue his pursuit of his career, gaining firearm and combat experience along with a sturdier mindset and an even more hardened exterior. He was very good at empathy, it was discovered, very good at watching a person and understanding their motives and actions. His tutors allowed him special opportunities to meet with experienced negotiators and be present at police interrogations.
It was in Police academy that he met his wife Catelyn. She was a fiery and passionate person and basically swept him off his feet. They laughed together and were excited together and generally their romance was pretty average. She wanted to go to america after they had finished their training. Edward did not like the idea but he never properly expressed this, again putting his feelings aside for others. They Graduated both with merit and Edward said goodbye to his family before taking the flight to New York, his new wife having already bought a house for them in the city. Edward wasn't happy in the city, it was far too busy and loud for his taste. But again he never said anything and finally began his Career as a Police negotiator. The district department was very glad to have him and eagerly gave him the job. He didnt have a perfect record of success, no one did, but the large majorities of high risk situations he was put into ended well without many human casualties and this was definately what Edward enjoyed doing.
He had chosen his career well and this was the source of happiness in his life. This did mean however, that he spent less and less time at home. The couple had a daughter two years after their marriage, Allison, and Edward doted on her and loved every minute of fatherhood. He was a good father, except for his continuous absence. Gradually Catelyn and he began to drift apart, sometimes there were rows, sometimes there was silence, but mostly they just began to ignore each other. Eventually Edward finally expressed his hatred of the city and his misery at having been dragged halfway across the world from all his family and friends and how much he wrongfully blamed her for it. It was the end of their marriage, Catelyn horribly bitter at having been lied too and pushed away for so many years and Edward just tired. It was an amicable divorce in general and they determinedly tried to work out the best way for them to still raise Allison together. It was well thought out and Edward and Catelyn had as much of an equal involvement in her life as possible. Nothing was perfect but they all moved forward together. Edward still had to stay in New York, but this was something he had to do for his daughter and he accepted that completely, continuing to find happiness and enjoyment in his work.

Oooh we're really on a roll now :) nice to see old characters back to go again, as well as some interesting new additions ^.^Erranruin, I'm surprised you didn't choose the regeneration dragon! Lol seeing as your character is a doctor they would have been a fine pair. I love the contrast you've created though, this should be interesting :)
Yus this is what I liked because although her profession is more healy and aww sunshine and helping people, her actual personality is pretty tough and careless and determined. She's more noble and commanding than compassionate.
Name: Yennefer McNeill
Age: 28
She is short and dumpy for her age and her hair is very rarely unknotted, usually being tied back with a black piece of linen.
Personality: Yennefer is gentle and somewhat mild mannered but firm when she needs to be. She can calmly take control of a situation and very rarely loses her temper, these traits being products of being a doctor. She is empathetic and sensible but not necessarily kind or warm-hearted which in her youth meant that she blurted out her thoughts and made those around her angry. To counter this she has developed a very polite personality, always observing the most diplomatic way of saying things. She has found it the best policy for her life in general. However this does not mean she is proper. She considers the confines and ideas of virginity and modesty to be meaningless and stupid and so generally has a flirtatious personality.
Backstory: Yennefer's parents were crofters, farming the land and raising herds of cows and goats. She always had an interest in bodies and how the animals survived and what they looked like when they died so it didnt take long for her to take an interest in medicine. Her parents were pretty supportive, her mother being especially proud of her and even allowing her to disect animals dead from disease. She experimented with herbs on sick animals, sometimes they died quicker but gradually her success grew further until she was the one her Village turned too when anything was ill. As she grew older she got itchy feet, she wanted to do more with her skills and knew of a monastery outside the city that trained women to heal the sick. It was a long way away but she was determined and her parents were so excited about their daughter's talents that they told the whole village and gathered support for her. Eventually all of the trustworthy Men of the village who could be spared were sent to escort her to the City, the send off being a large feast with everyone wishing her well and telling her to come back and visit when she could.
The journey there was somewhat dangerous but her bodyguards kept her safe and whenever one of them was injured in the line of duty she would quickly patch him up. They reached the monastery and the nuns there were very eager to take her on as a student. For a moment it was a little rocky, Yennefer ranting a little after being told she had to become a nun to heal the sick, but she quickly conceded defeat and tried to be demure about it. She stayed there for four years, becoming an excellent pupil, if a little frustrated at the confines on her actions and flirtations. A war erupted late into her training and she and some other sisters were brought to the outskirts of the battle to tend to the wounded they brought in. It was a shocking and hardening thing for her. She was not squeamish about bodies but the way some soldiers had been sliced and hacked apart turned her white. After the battle she left the nunnery and instead apprenticed under the Surgeon she had met in the battle. He was surprised at her request but was not particularly bigotted about women doctors and had certainly witnessed her prowess in the battle. She had just turned 19 when she left. The surgeons name was Kaleb and he was a fine and kindly man, happy to teach and help wherever he could. He took her to various places from the depths of a dungeon to the villages in mountain valleys to more battlefields and all the way he healed those who could pay him a small fee or offer him some food. Yennefer learnt well from him and eventually liked him very much. He was probably her first real crush but she herself never pursued it, him being much older than her.
Some few years after their meeting and Yennefer was ready to make her own way in the world. Amongst other things Kaleb had taught her he had also taught her to defend and fend for herself. Archery was something she was pretty good at and she always kept a few knives tucked in various places around her body. She had used them a few times already before she left. Generally she was not very strong of body, good at running and climbing but punching or pushing someone away would be difficult. However she was good at wriggling out of tight spaces and so she always escaped any trouble generally unharmed. She was concerned about the way the world was going. A darkness was coming over the land and it worried her, she felt like the earth was sick and she didnt not know how to cure it, which was rare for her.
It was around this time that she met a strange man, Merrick was his name, she had come to a village near to his estate to help stop the spread of some mystery sickness. He watched her for a while and when she was finally getting a little edgy and concerned he introduced himself and told her a great many fantastical things. She was skeptical at first but eventually after actually seeing his Dragon, a black graceful creature, she was convinced. It took a little consideration but eventually she agreed to becoming a so called 'Dragon tamer'. If this was the remedy the world needed then it was her duty to try and use it, to put her full dedication behind it.
Skills/Abilities:
Bonded Ability: She took on some of her dragon's earthshaking talents, suddenly gaining much more strength, gaining the ability to stamp her foot and create cracks in the ground or punch a wall and break it in half.
Skills: She is an incredibly experienced and adept healer, having expansive knowledge on most herbs and remedies wherever she goes and understanding a human body very well indeed.
She is well travelled and can fluently speak two other languages while knowing many more. She also has knowledge of the various states and how they are faring, friends amongst every reach of life telling her all that occurred in the various cities.
She is a pretty decent shot with a bow.
