Personality and the Basics


Name: Raeqar
Gender: Male
Type: Western dragon
Species: Dawn Dragons
Age: 130 yrs
Date of Birth: 14th February
Personality:

Raeqar is a dragon who abide to a very traditional and mostly forgotten culture of dragons. This culture included the practice of loyalty, chivalry, respect and honour, as well as training of the inner spirit in order to ‘ascend’. As such, he found himself to be very proud of his heritage as a dragon and, in some cases, patriotic. He incurred a dislike for any activities that would deem him no different to that of an animal, although this did not mean he had no sense of having fun or such, acknowledging that such play time is important for their wellbeing. What he would discourage are simply what would bring about shame to the ancestors of his kind, such as embarrassing oneself with petty tricks or those who act with too much emotion.

Despite having trained in spirit, it did not mean Raeqar had absolved himself from intense emotions, including that of grief or anger. He considered this as a weakness in his character, having to show off his inner emotions when things go awry or just not in a way that he expected. Aside from these situations, Raeqar was mostly calm and collected, speaking in a low and gentle voice. However, he would also let his ego get the better of him, and ended up smirking or toying others he considered his opponent in achieving something he wants. If not, he would always wear the stern and stoic look upon him, trying to keep his body in ‘balance’.

Hobbies: Raeqar likes to enjoy time being alone, or watch the sunrise/sunset. According to him, it reminds him of his homeland.

Likes:
- A specific selection of soothing music.
- Paintings of landscapes, or just travelling to any remarkable landmarks of the world.
- Any games or puzzles designed to train the mind.

Dislikes:

- Activities that do not define him as a dragon.
- Loud or noisy areas.
- Those who break the code or law they abide to. This can include some rogues.

Fears:

- Fear of dishonouring his masters.
- Fear of having to put down a close friend or relative.

Abilities and Strengths


Abilities:

Black blade
Raeqar's key ability is to conjure blades of black energy, out from any shadow. He must be in contact with the shadow before they can erect a grounded blade. The blade appearance appears black and thin, but also shrouded in black mist that leaves a trail behind when it is swung, making it difficult for others to estimate the length of the blade. The blades actual length can go up to 80ft long, and they cut into anything like a fine steel katana. Against bulky foes, they will be able to shrug it off, but will topple if they allow Raeqar to land multiple blows. Multiple blades can be conjured after each cooldown (Cap: 5 blades), and the blades last indefinitely until they are out of range from Raeqar (700ft).

Weakness: Raeqar must be in contact with a shadow before he can draw a blade out of it. The black blades always have a flat part that provided strength to its cutting edge. Landing a hard blow against it, like a powered claw strike or a ram, can break the blade in two and force it to dissipate. Alternatively, shining a blinding light on the blades will force them to dissolve. Foes can pick up one of the black blades themselves and use Raeqar's weapon against him.

Cooldown: 2 posts.

Nighthawk vision
Raeqar can see over long distances more accurately, allowing him to see even a worm wriggling over several thousand feet and in the dark.

Weakness: His eyes are photo-sensitive, and therefore, he cannot handle intense light. Additionally, achieving long-distance vision requires him to focus, and therefore tunnel in a certain direction without moving. This leaves him vulnerable to flanking strikes. Distractions, especially loud noises, can break his focus.

Shadow-blending
Raeqar's scales camouflage with the darker surroundings whenever he runs into a shadow big enough to encompass his figure. This will appear as if his body suddenly turned into a gaseous state of matter and become slightly translucent. However, he is still a solid dragon and can still get hurt by anything while camouflaged.

Weakness: Raeqar must stay in that one spot for 1 post before his scales can camouflage. Furthermore, he can only move around where the shadow is still covering his form. Leaving it will immediately break his cover. Additionally, getting hit by a large object that's enough to knock him off (including a dragon walking into him) will break his camouflage.

Cooldown: 3 posts.

Blackfire breath
Raeqar's breath attack, allowing him to shoot a cone of black flames up to 700ft in front of him, travelling at 100ft per second. These flames are special, in that they are very quiet (does not crackle, snap or roar when it burns things) and they emit no light. Aside from these, the flames act like normal fire.

Weakness: The flames travel at a rather slow speed, therefore the further the target, the more time they have to react and dodge. For those too close to Raeqar, an indicator that he is about to launch his breath attack is if his maw is glowing red, giving them a small window to dodge. Despite the lack of noise or light, the same can't be said for his targets as their scream will probably alert others in a similar manner. Breathing black flames is also consumes a lot of energy. Lasting for 1 post after use, Raeqar will feel fatigued and slightly nauseated as the world spins before him. That and he cannot use it again after a long while.

Cooldown: 6 posts.

Shadow smoke

Within an 800ft radius around him, Raeqar causes all shadows within that area to project out black smoke. This smoke's only purpose is to conceal vision, and they only last for 1 post.

Weakness: The smoke does not burst out instantly. It requires time, expelling into the air and only gradually blocking out vision. But by then, others would know that their vision on Raeqar is fading and can still act accordingly. Raeqar himself is also affected by his own smoke, despite his Nighthawk vision, and therefore cannot see through it.

Cooldown: 2 posts.

Strengths:

Physical Strength
Raeqar has many experiences in battle and has also trained his body through meditations and battle training. However, he prioritises speed above physical strength, but does not let the latter fall so far behind to the point of uselessness. Raeqar can move at blurring speeds at most, much like how an agile being swings a blade to cut someone down quickly and effectively. He is also incredibly agile, able to improvise and think of creative ways in maneuvering himself around tight corners or through incoming attacks, although they are not always successful. Despite this, Raeqar is still rather scrawny and cannot, for example, lift any very heavy objects or use his claws to block an incoming physical attacker, if his assailant is much stronger than he is. He only has enough strength to disable a dragon roughly his size in claw-to-claw combat in terms of martial arts, but he falls short in overpowering or lifting foes.

Environmental awareness
Having trained his mind through meditation, Raeqar is able to focus and concentrate on his senses, relying on them to scan the area around him for anyone trying to hide at his plain sight, or any incoming beings towards his direction. Of course, he cannot do this subconsciously, not even while walking, and so he is required to stop and keep himself still, looking and listening. While in this state of intense focus, he can be distracted by loud noises or someone trying to scare him by jumping out of a bush. As such, he requires absolute quiet and no one speaking directly to him. Raeqar will have very little problem using this in noisy areas like marketplaces, but it will mean he cannot rely on his ears.

Weaknesses:

Strength vs Strength
Raeqar absolutely cannot compete in pure brute strength vs strength against a dragon of his age and size. This includes some forms of wrestling or lifting of heavy objects, any activities that would require a lot of muscles. Reason is simple. He doesn't have a lot of it.

Distractions
Many of Raeqar's abilities and strengths require him to focus. Anything that breaks concentration, including loud noises, clapping right in front of him, or throwing stuff at him, can disrupt his concentration and therefore irritate him.

Lack of cover
This also ties in with most of Raeqar's capabilities. If the environment he is in is devoid of any places to hide or anything that can cast a shadow, then he is mostly useless and can only rely on his physical capabilities. And the only thing going for him then is his speed or his highly exhausting breath attack.

Fighting Style:

Raeqar is a very balanced fighter, without much of a specialty in many areas. That is to say, he has a bit of everything, but nothing about them really stands out as much compared to fighters who are dedicated in, say, ranged or claw-to-claw combat. However, Raeqar does poorly in aerial combat, since shadows can only be cast on the ground, where several of his abilities lie with. To compensate, he also excels in sneaking around targets and delivering surprise attacks, putting them down before they can even raise a claw against him.
