Other Appearance: He has a trail of dark crimson (almost onyx in colour) scales that run up from his wrists to shoulders. Scales also come across his abs and a little around his eyes. He is rather old in human years but does not look it however, he usually dresses as such with more of a 14th century
armour. When he releases his hidden nature his body almost fully incased in his scales and gives off a visible heat wave. Also, his right hand to his elbow take on the form of dragon claws with elongated nails that are razor sharp. His body also becomes a bit leaner however his normal strength does not change but instead his speed increases. Despite all of this, both he and his brother have been mistaken before for being the other due to their human forms being very similar.
History/bio: His family was apart of a proud group of red dragons back in the 14th century known as the Children of Tiamat, a powerful and influential group at the time whose influence and power spread across not only the magical world but the human world as well. They helped bring kings to power and protected already existing kings, topple kingdoms and much more, but only in the shadows did they do this unless it was absolutely necessary to show themselves. Only those in power or with truly good intentions (despite what lores and fairy tales had made them out to be) did they help or make themselves known but this is not without saying there were still those few who took advantage hence the stories, myths and legends. Some of these so called "myths and legends" were about real dragons, one of whom managed to get a CGI character made of him in the movie The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Except for his name it wasn't to far off from the truth. Names and places and events where changed but the now famous Elf, J.R.R. Tolkien, was there when the events took place. That however never made it to the Human world. It wasn't until the 16th century did they disband and go their separate ways...for the most part. A few families stayed together to continue their clan, one of the original families being the Rykers, to help bring back the clan to its former glory.
With the years and years of destroyed reputations the actually attempt of bringing it back to its former glory was a task none of the others wanted to take on except for the Rykers. It was tedious, reconnecting with the Elvish and Faerie communities and especially the dwarves since many rouge "reds" as they would call their twisted old kind would torment that race specifically thanks to their never ending quest for gold (another reason red dragons have such a bad image).
Only about 200 years ago had it nearly reconnected with most of the magical and some of the human world thanks to two brothers; Sul'Ryk and Zhar'Ryk, more commonly known as Sullivan Richardson and Zahir Richardson. They helped end two of the largest feuds in magical history; The dwarfs and the elves and the Faerie and Dragons. This accomplishment didn't go with fighting between the groups but that issue was snuffed in the 1800s. Now adays, the two contract themselves out for hire as well as maintain a good relationship with Sullivan's old school, Gringore.
Family/Relationships: Sullivan Richardson | Brother | Age: 450
Other/Extra: Unlike his brother, his idea of negotiation is more physical and relies on his deadly and efficient combat prowess. He also usually wields a
greatsword with a proficiency that is only seen in masters. He had begun using it since his first life cycle at the age of 15 and has ever since. It's material is quiet stong however not that heavy, allowing it to move swiftly through the air with minimal resistance. It was crafted by the reluctant combination of both dwarven and elvish craftmenship and is capable of stopping most small to large caliber rounds from human weapons which Zhair found out the hard way against his brothers better judgment. It also is glomoured to look like....A giant stick.
