Height-6’2â€
Weight-240lbs
Hair Color-Dark Blue
Eye Color-Red
Appearance
-Aries is humanoid in appearance. His face is generally that of an attractive human, except slightly pointed teeth, protruding cheeks and chin, and overall strength of features make him appear predatory. His mouth is generously wide, his smile full of teeth and occurring often, though his most striking features are his eyes. His eyes are a dark reflective red that is speckled with black, showing a tremendous vitality. His hair is a very dark blue and is naturally spiky despite being several inches long, and is kept swept back revealing his face fully. Aries keeps himself in good shape, his body has well defined muscle though he doesn’t look it. Most would guess him to be a man of 140 to 160 pounds, but an increased density in bone has contributed to his unusual weight. Given that he heals so rapidly it would be very strange to find a scar on him, though there are marks on his hands, feet, and back along the bones that are dark patches against his light tan, but they are not scars. He doesn’t have any clothing in particular that he always wears, but red clothing is recurrent.
Weapons
-Bone Knife: Carved by Aries, the blade is exceptionally high quality, though no merchant will take it. The bone is marbled black and has a symbol carved into the pommel marking it as Aries make. Though in all other ways the blade is of surpassing quality, blackened bone is viewed as a curse, notable for causing bankruptcy. Aries hasn’t experienced that himself, but others are superstitious enough that he’ll never be able to trade it. The bone is a strong as iron, though not so brittle.
Equipment
-Satchel: A large bag of fine black leather with a long shoulder strap, the bag hangs down to knee-length beneath his arm and contains everything Aries needs to survive. Inside of it are various makes of hammers, tongs, delicate glass vials and apparatus, sealed bottles of various agents, along with various exotic instruments that are rarely needed.
Skills
-Creation: Aries natural talents give him the knowledge to create masterpiece works of any craft, nearly unlimited skill. However, his untrained body restrains him so that vast amounts of time are required to do so, limiting him severely. As an example, creating an excellent blade at this point would require nearly a year’s worth of time to create, as well as being prohibitively expensive. To create an average quality item, Aries requires about several weeks worth of time, increasing or decreasing depending on the size and complication of the item.
-Enchanting: Aries also has a great knowledge of enchanting, though his level of control requires a great deal of time. At this point, it would take far too long to create any permanent enchantment, though temporary ones are faster, doing so would destroy the item due to his lack of control. Currently, minor elements can be enchanted on items to last for several minutes though also take twice as long to enchant as they last, such as a burning sword or electrical shocked gauntlet. Other magical enchantments such as magic finding, glowing, or floatation require high quality items and expend their charge very quickly, often less than a minute. Due to his limited reserves, Aries can only enchant twice before requiring rest.
Attributes
-Aries is more than he appears, though most obviously in his physical abilities. Aside from a slight general hardiness, he is slightly quicker and more dexterous than an average human would be. His healing ability is better than a human's as well, though at this point the only advantage is regrowing entire limbs and organs. Otherwise, he heals at the rate most humans do.
Magic
-Fire Breath: Aries only offensive magic as yet, he is able to exhale a stream of low temperature fire for short amounts of time. The greatest distance he has yet achieved is 20 feet, though for maximum damage the target should be within 10 to 15 feet. Due to the limits of lung capacity, 2 to 3 seconds is the longest he can breathe at one time, and requires several seconds to recover. The fire is not incredibly high temperature, but can cause moderate burns if hit directly on exposed skin.
-Shaping: A form of elemental control that Aries is still perfecting. This involves massive amounts of energy being focused to move and manipulate the environment to the shaper’s will. Thus far, Aries is capable of creating crude shapes from rock, water, wood, and ice in small amounts and is limited to only a few uses spread throughout the day. An example would be simple staff or sphere of water. With the exception of water, the shape will be retained even after his control has been loosened. The skill is little to no use as yet, aside from the exhaustion of a single attempt. He cannot yet separate metals from ore rock, and so any ore inside stone shapings acts as standard rock.
History
-Due to the rampant poaching of dragons throughout Althanas, as well as their portrayal as giant creatures of evil, the dragons have been forced to adapt to an ever more populated and dangerous world. As such, dragons have changed their form to that of the general population in a successful move to lower death rates before maturity. As a dragon comes of age, they gain the magical aptitude to regain their true forms, though many choose to remain as they are. Recently, a select few mages have begun to catch on the dragon’s plans and have been systematically eliminating them, including Aries’s parents.
Aries was born with the genetic memory of every dragon before him, stretching back thousands of years, and with those memories came the many of the great skills he has today. Limited by his body’s abilities, Aries bides his time and trains himself to better use his knowledge. To this day, he hides his identity as best he can, moving throughout the world and attempting to make himself known as a powerful magi, so that his hunters will be deceived and possibly allow him to find them first.
