Weight-150/210 pounds

Appearance

-The white dragon is one of the most majestic looking creatures to ever have existed, their long thin snouts and smooth fluid bodies with graceful wings and slender tails are a work of art. They aren’t the bulky brutes that their brethren tend to become, their bodies are more aerodynamic and arrow-like, but their legs are still powerful and their fangs deadly. They shoulders don’t protrude to the side as much as others but are closer to the long neck with the hind legs farther back, their wings sprout from their shoulders and stretch nearly triple their body length in wingspan. Razor almost never has his wings out, instead using dragon tongue to hide them as they cannot yet be used for flight until he has grown more. His mouth is full of long curved teeth, his eyes a burning red, and his scalp flowing back smoothly and unobstructed to the neck. White dragons are among the only not to have horns, which serve little use anyway.

-Of the other shapes he can take, the elven is his favorite. They are much closer to his natural beauty then the larger humans, slender builds and delicate features. No matter what the form, his hair flows down to mid back in straight white strands, his clothing all of white and merely a function of modesty, usually only pants and a sleeveless open shirt. The form serves only to allow others to communicate with him comfortably, quite obviously not truly a human/elf/ect, his unusual hair and bright red eyes a give away.

Weapons

-Claws/Fangs: On each foot Razor has four claws, each about 6 inches long and extremely sharp. The claws are strong enough to rip through thin iron with some difficulty, but his jaws would have a much easier job of it. The bone weapons can be broken, but the fangs will fall out before they break and grow back quickly, the claws must break before falling out to be replaced.

Armor

-Scales: Covering his entire body, head to tail are small scales that fit perfectly to provide maximum movement without the scales grinding against each other. Because of this they are quite thin and provide little protection against blunt or piercing weapons but excellent protection against slashing. The scales are of the approximate hardness of carapace.

Skills

-Ferocity: In his dragon form, Razor is skilled at fighting in much the same way other beasts would, there isn’t much skill involved. He is capable of overcoming most animals his size, right now only predators with a large size advantage can compete.

-Language: Dragons are natural masters of language and pick up on many very quickly, at this point Razor has a good understanding of Salvic and most forms of elven, but the more southern continents have eluded him.

Abilities

Dragon tongue: The ancient language of the dragons is unspeakable by any other being, it is a gift given to the dragons by the gods and is the purest form of speech, anything that is spoken in it becomes fact, nothing can be spoken that is not already or that the speaker does not have the strength to change. A truly ancient dragon of immense power could end the world simply by telling it not to exist, though there is no such dragon that could nor would speak it.

-Self: A spoken word that changes the makeup of the speaker’s body, it does not change what the speaker is just what his body looks to be. Using this, Razor can make himself appear human, elven, drow, or any of numerous humanoids, however, he cannot become a gnome or dwarf as his size is just too large nor could he become a giant or ogre for the same reasons.

Racial Traits

-Razor is inherently strong, much stronger than a normal human could be and faster. His breed isn’t known for their size or strength, but they become more potent in a later stage of development. The white dragons are known for their ability to blend with mortals as their use of the dragon tongue is more advanced. Aside from the attributes that all dragons share in common, whites can be severely injured by fire, and high heat climates will cause extreme dehydration and nausea in a very short amount of time while cold climates are more at home and extreme cold provides a slight boost in energy. Like most dragons, lance type weapons are particularly effective at piercing armor as well as anything made from a dragon.

History

-Razor hatched from an egg, the first of his nest to hatch, and several days sooner than was normal. He ended up being the biggest and smartest of the litter, and spent several months with his mother before they had all developed enough to really hurt each other. The others resented him and forced him to leave to fend on his own. If it had been one of them, they would have died, but Razor survived, he flourished out in the wild. It was also at this time that came across several of the mortal races, mostly human. While he did have the genetic knowledge of both parents and knew he should avoid them, he instead blended among them. At such a young age and using dragon tongue, he became far more open to the mortals than normal dragons would be.

He isn’t fully grown yet, but he will make his mark on the world, one way or another.

NPC Companion

Age-17
Gender-Female
Race-Human
Height-About 5 ½ feet
Weight-About 120 pounds

Appearance: Mira has long brown hair, flowing straight to her shoulders. Her eyes are a light blue, her face delicate and heart-shaped. Many men would find her to be extremely attractive, an athletic build and in proper proportions. She has a close fitting dress of cloth that she commonly wears, also a fine silk dress meant for formal occasions, and has thick and super-warm furs for traveling, all of which are either white or black due to those being Razor’s only permitted colors. She also has a thick traveling bag that carries all of the supplies and her personal clothing, made of white cloth.

History: Mira only tells anything of her history to anybody when asked, and even then it is vague and holds little information. She is always seen in the accompaniment of a dragon or various white haired young men. Those that meet her commonly believe that she is a slave or servant of some sort.
