Xerith
08-22-07, 02:43 PM
Name: Xerith
Race: Human
Age: 28
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 140 lbs.
Eye Color: Red
Hair Color: Black
Personality: Xerith is a soldier at heart and his personality reflects that. A very no-nonsense person, humor is not in his vocabulary. Xerith often stares darkly whenever anyone attempts to make a joke. Crisp and to the point, he only speaks when necessary. The only exception to this is when he speaks of or to his dragon, Xero. His connection to his dragon is so deep that he would do just about anything to protect or serve him.
Appearance: Xerith wears black delyn armor, trimmed in red. The armor is tight fitting, for maneuverability, yet this leaves gaps around the joints which could be construed as a weakness. Beneath his armor, he wears a long-sleeve vlince tunic, also black. Black leather boots compliment his appearance, as does a black fur cap and gloves made from northern mammals from his homeland which provides excellent warmth in the cold air of the high altitudes which Xerith and Xero often reach. Xerith’s eyes match Xero’s and his hair matches Xero’s scaly hide. Since dragons are matched with their partners at birth, the two share traits.
Items:
*Black leather riding straps
*Black cotton bag
Weapon: A slender delyn sword with sheath.
Armor: See Appearance.
Skills:
Advanced Swordsmanship: Due to his extensive training in the military, Xerith has gained an advanced understanding and ability in swordsmanship. This has made him rather renowned in the Eithi society.
Enhanced Perception: From his connection to Xero, Xerith has gained almost dragonlike senses. It is incredibly difficult to sneak up on the dragonrider. This perception weakens in battle as he is distracted. However, if he focuses he can maintain this high level of perception.
Darkness Ray: Xerith is a very strange case in Eithi society (See History), which has given him a unique ability by their standards. He can shoot a ray of dark energy from his palm. This is essentially a long distance punch in the gut, with enough force to knock a grown man backwards. It also leaves a very short tingling sensation and spasming where it hits. This only lasts for a few moments and is easily brought back under control.
History: Even at birth, Xerith was a special person. As society dictates, specially chosen births are connected with dragon eggs which are due to hatch at the same time. Those who are joined with a dragon even gain traits of the dragons, such as eye color and scale color, which becomes their hair color. There are red (fire), green (earth), blue (water), and golden (queen) dragons… normally. However, when Xerith was born and his dragon, Xero, was hatched alongside him, jet black was the common color. This baffled the elders of the society, forcing them to believe that Xerith was the dawn of a new age.
As soon as he was old enough, Xerith joined the military, his jet black companion, Xero, right alongside him. They soon discovered that like all dragons, Xero had special abilities, that of darkness. Like all dragonriders, Xerith also gained similar abilities. Xerith trained in the military, and through wars against their neighbors, found himself higher and higher in the military hierarchy. As a captain in the military, Xerith was given a special assignment. Since the Eithi military controlled the entire area within their grasp, Xerith was sent to find more to conquer. This sent him to the other side of Althanas… somewhere around Haide.
Familiar
Name: Xero
Age: 28
Race: Dragon
Appearance: A black-scaled dragon with red eyes, Xero is fairly large beast with four limbs, two powerful black legs and two somewhat smaller front limbs, in addition to two broad, wings. The wings are very smooth and cloth-like, yet remarkably resilient to tearing. Xero can easily carry Xerith and one other person if necessary. He stands at eight feet tall at the ridge of his back when standing straight up, and is about thirty-five feet from nose to tip of the tail.
Abilities:
Flight: Capable of flying at high altitudes for lengths of time of around an hour for simple flight, much less than that if in battle.
Darkness Blast: Similar to Xerith’s Darkness Ray, Xero’s Darkness Blast shoots from his mouth at a foe, knocking them back or, in the case of flying enemies, down. Uses a great deal of energy, therefore it reduces Xero’s ability to stay airborne for long periods of time.
