Name: Benedict Kaspin
Age: Old. But he no longer ages.
Race: Previously Drakken
Gender: Male
Description:
Benedict is a gargantuan hominid Drakken. His body is incredibly muscular. Similarly to a rhino, Benedict has thick and armor like hide that protects him from most forms of physical assault. Arrows, swords, and most forms of bladed weaponry are ineffective on the first swing. Blunt weaponry is more effective, if enough force is applied. His body is slate blue coloration, with little variation in colors from one area to the next. His body, despite being generally aggressive in appearance Benedict has the foul attitude that only a herbivore could have. Benedict's diet is about 95% plants. He also eats a lot of coconuts. Like, a LOT of coconuts.
Benedict's clothing is akin to his lifestyle. Luxury is not exactly far up on the list of needs and his clothing is more for functionality then it is for anything else. He wears pants composed to sewn grey leather, and a large leather coat made of bear skin. All of his clothing was hunted and made by him- and the craftsman ship (or lack there of) shows his inexperience in the skill.
Personality:
Benedict is blunt, stubborn, and rude. For the most part, this is usually a bad thing. But to some, this aspect can be endearing. He will always tell it as it is. He knows human nature well, and due to his history he often thinks the worst of people. Benedict is a pessimist and a realist. And he will tell you that you are going to die. He will also tell you that he will do everything in his power to keep you from being killed. Despite his relatively angry and distrustful personality Benedict is still a relatively social creature. He forms a quick 'team' bond with people who work well with him. Even if he doesn't necessarily like them (or if they dont really like him). He will play favorites. If he knows someone is better than you at something he will give you zero chance to improve because he will always play to them.
Much like the dragon, which Benedict is similar to, he is protective and possessive... of his stuff. If you want to be brutally maimed or worse, steal. Benedict also has an really bad temper and an INFAMOUSLY foul mouth. This guy is the shakespeare of curse words and he has literally come up with more insulting or slang terms than anyone has ever thought possible. It's like the damn guy has probably researched this shit. Like, have you ever met a person who has called a prostitute a 'Slattern'? Well, now you have!
He also takes an unusually large amount of pleasure out of seeing other people get hurt by doing stupid things. He's no psychopath, and he's not going to torture anyone just cause. He will be efficient and... messy though. That's his style. Leave no survivors and a mess for someone else to clean up.
No, Benedict doesn't want to be loved. No, he doesn't need a hug. No, he doesn't secretly crave attention. He's not a people person. He's very much okay with being left alone for the most part. He was born a loner. He thinks he will die a loner as well.
Backstory:
Benedict was neither honorable, nor noble.
He was a selfish, angry creature that was mad at the world for a reason he couldn't even define. While he was never outright evil, he was tempted by the Betrayer himseld- Ancalagon.
While following Ancalagon, Benedict did several terrible, horrible things to his kind and to others in a quest to further a being who had made him believe he was doing something right. Destruction of homes and places of worship, defamation, and murder are amoung them. As the saying goes: "The path to evil is paved with good intentions." Kilgarrah was mortified by Benedict's actions, and exiled him. Turning him from a Drakken into something he considered... less. Benedict 'lost his wings'. And as a result lost his home, or whatever he had left of it.
But, Iuppiter still saw good in Benedict. Iuppiter taught him that when you look for the light, one can often find it. And so, Benedict began to get better. Slowly, and painfully, he transformed from an angry monster into a grumpy reptilian man.
When Kilgarrah saw his progress, he gifted Iuppiter with Benedict's soul. Trusting his brother to do what he was best at- showing Benedict the light. However, Benedict still battles his inner evils. He holds a deep disdain for Ancalagon. He wishes to slay the Primeval Betrayer.
Motivation: To atone for his sins and slay Ancalagon.
Why have they been chosen as a hero?:
"You have light, and peace inside of you. If you let it out, you can change the world around you. You're not the man you used to be. You are stronger and wiser and freer than you have
ever been. And now you have come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose good. There's nothing wrong with someone helping you get there."
Equipment:
Benedict has nothing more than the clothes on his back and a magical cinderblock with a chain welded to it given to him by Iuppiter, and made my Ha. The cinder block and chain are unbreakable. On the face of the cinder block, the words
"The Truth" are scratched in.
Magic: Benedict has an innate magical resistance as a result of Kilgarrah's curse. This means that Benedict can neither cast magic nor can he be effected by it.
