All previously known skills that were listed in red in the last profile have been permanently deleted.

Name: MetalDrago Scorpio, Paladin of N'Jal
Age: 2015
Race: Dragonian
Gender: Male
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 198 lbs.

Appearance: MetalDrago’s scales have changed to a garnet color, though his hair remains much the same. His muscles have become sinewy, and are well-distributed. His smile could freeze steam, and his orchid-colored eyes could do the same thing. He is lithe and well-muscled, almost like a gymnast or acrobat, and as his appearances would seem to reflect, he is rather fast and flexible, as well as a might bit strong. He has spines that stick out of his back, now, starting at the base of his neck and extending down to his tail-bone. If he had a tail, they would probably extend there, as well. His wingspan is roughly 20 feet, maybe a little shorter, and they are usually wrapped protectively about his body, if they have not been transformed into a cape by his shape shifting magic.

Personality: MetalDrago’s personality would seem rather divided to most people who meet him. Outside of battle, he is quiet and thoughtful, often prolonging conversations of interest to him, and treating those he deems inferior as such. But underneath all that, he has a certain kindness to him, at times, when he believes someone is worthy of his respect. In battle, MetalDrago becomes a monster. His orchid eyes take on a darker, almost blue-violet look, and he smiles sadistically the whole time he fights, enjoying the pain that he causes, in addition to the pain he feels. He is purely ecstatic as the fight becomes harder, and as he gains more injuries, so too does his euphoria increase. He keeps a cool head as he fights, always calculating his next response. He’s become sadistic, but maintains a desire to fight honorably, a remnant of his life with his mother from a long time before. He is adamant in his desire to serve N'Jal, the Dark being that lives both within himself and within his commander, Lorenor.

Weapons: Dragon’s Betrayal- A masterwork katana of some strength, it’s about as strong as Dehlar, though it has no enchantments on it whatsoever. It’s just a really good sword. It has a serrated edge made to tear into flesh and create a more lasting pain.

Nocturne of Madness Katana (strength of Delyn, and acquired here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=20395)) – A sword with the power of madness. The sword has the ability to intensify the madness of the wielder, in MD's case, his insatiable bloodlust.

If it hits an opponent or NPC of a lower level, it will slowly begin to intensify their strongest insane traits (if used on a PC, it will only work with the permission of the opposing character's player).

If struck into the ground, the sword sends out a madness aura that affects a 5 foot radius to begin with, which grows by two inches every post up to a maximum of 10 feet. This effect only works if the blade is stuck into the ground, and affects everyone within the area of effect by intensifying their madness. Again, if this is used on a PC, it only works with the player's permission. All effects are temporary and cannot last longer than ten minutes, IC, or until the sword is sheathed.

Armor: Endless Armor (Aquired here (http://althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=18789)) – Roughly the strength of steel with the strength of iron mesh or chainmail in the more flexible areas. This gives him protection, but leaves him vulnerable in spots where he needs to be flexible or swift-moving. This armor evolves as MD levels. As of Level 3, it covers his entire body. The armor is a sentient organism that is controlled by MetalDrago. This armor is also extremely decorative, sporting a blue eye-insignia in the middle of the chest and has what appears to be a pair of clasping dragon arms above it.

This armor is a living entity all its own, and slowly evolves as MetalDrago gains more experience. The way in which it evolves relies entirely upon the psyche of the one it is attached to. As MetalDrago prizes speed and the ability to keep flexible in combat, it will evolve so that MetalDrago will be unencumbered by the armor. As the armor continues to upgrade, parts of it will possibly even become weapons in their own right (claws on each finger, and spikes on both the elbows and the knees, as an example).

Skills:

Speed: 3x normal speed

Flexibility: 2x as flexible as a regular person (about the same as a person who’s double-jointed in all joints)

Swordsmanship – Adept

Dual-Wielding Katanas – Above Average

Shockwave Slice – Shockwave Slice is an attack that attacks in an energy wave that can cut quite as easily as the sword it is sent from. It can extend out to about ten feet before dissipating, and is MetalDrago’s most commonly used attack. Its range allows for a problem of dodging, though, making it very easy to dodge, and it bounces off stronger armor very easily. This technique, as MD’s most common and weakest magical attack, can be used about 10 times per battle.

Shapeshift –
(Ability Level 1) – MetalDrago can change his wings into a cape. While in this form, MetalDrago can still feel pain if his cloak is attacked, but it makes him a smaller target than when his wings are fully visible. As of this moment, the Paladin's wings are stuck in this form, making it impossible for him to fly until he learns how to return it to its original state.

(Ability Level 2) – MetalDrago can change the shape and structure of his cape into a hard and steel-like material that he can control like an arm or a leg. This ability can be used to block one moderately powerful attack. A more powerful weapon or spell can pierce or break through the shield, possibly hitting him with the attack. The damage to his cloak causes him the same pain it does in its regular form.

History: MetalDrago was born to a human mother and a Draconian father. His mother was a strong woman, but the evil Dragonian she had fallen in love with wanted to take MetalDrago for his own. She refused, instead allowing him to take Seraius, MetalDrago's older, and purely evil, brother.

MetalDrago was raised learning swordplay, and used longswords, like the Dragon's Fury sword, with few slip-ups. Though he knew his swordplay was good, he didn't know if he had what it took to win a tournament. Regardless of his mother's words of caution, MetalDrago entered a tournament. He made it to the finals, only to be faced by a Dark Elf.

This Elf was powerful, swift, and untouchable. MetalDrago was bested easily, defeated in a matter of seconds. After he lost, he asked the Elf's name, and was given in reply, "Terramat. Remember that name, for I will rule all on this world someday..." MetalDrago was surprised by the elf's worlds, but he knew the conviction behind them. Terramat was smart and strong enough to take over the world, and MetalDrago vowed to stop him at every turn. Stop him he did.

After utilizing an ancient ritual area, MetalDrago was able to seal Terramat in another Realm for ten long years. When Terramat escaped, he said it had in fact been over ten thousand years for him, as time seemed to pass differently there. Terramat had escaped with Reiana and... Seraius, MetalDrago's brother. They were gone before MetalDrago could even see his brother's face clearly. All they left him with were these words: "Seek us out and we will kill you..."

MetalDrago has been searching for them for sometime to no avail. However, it is apparent that his luck is about to change.

MetalDrago came across Terramat again later in his travels, once when he was fighting a young man named Dyne, and another when he was working with Lorenor, the man who had eventually become his commander, the one man in the world that was left for the Dragonian Paladin to risk his life over.

While working with Lorenor, a distant voice seemed to draw him toward the crash site in Narenhad. When he got inside, he came across something that truly interested him. It was a pool of water that housed the ancient power of the N'Jal protocol. He was infected with nanomachines that twisted his appearance and his personality beyond recognition. He had become the embodiment of his own hatred.

In essence, MetalDrago seeks to take control of this world from the background, at the Dark Goddess's command. He will do anything to make this happen, even going so far as to sacrifice his own life.

Eventually he came across his father’s old weapon, the Nocturne of Madness, a weapon with the ability to intensify the madness within any person who wields it. This sword unleashed the full ferocity of his bloodlust, intensifying it and making his animalistic tendencies stronger. Since the building of the city over the ruins of Valinatal, the power of the two Paladins has grown significantly.

You can't just upgrade the material of your katana. I see no link to a thread in which it's upgraded, and there's nothing in the description that would designate it has the ability to evolve as MD levels, so you're going to have to take that out. Everything else seems more or less alright.

Done, anything else?

EDIT: Made a couple of grammatical changes to the post so that some parts of it would be clearer... If anything looks wrong, or you think something needs to be changed due to the nature of the changes, let me know, and I'll be happy to fix it.

I'd advise you to elaborate a bit on the nature of the armor. There's nothing wrong with it as it stands, but for future reference and possible upgrades, it would be best if you stated somewhere in the description how it's linked to MD. Does it sense the increase in MD's power as he levels up and adjusts itself accordingly, or since it's a sentient organism does it evolve from the experiences MD has, or something different entirely? It's not really necessary, but I think it would be easier for the both of us if you added something like that.
