Title: The Dancing Shadow
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Grade: 3rd
Academy: Grand Academy of Song Knights' of Capella
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 157
Appearance:
Personality: Zachary is a moderately friendly person willing to help people out, as long as it doesn’t cause him too much of an inconvenience. When it comes to making friends he generally allows others to become friends with him, and doesn’t go out of his way to make new ones, however he has many friendly acquaintances because of his willingness to help others. However he does have some anger issues, and often prefers to be left alone with his book. Also, no matter what kind of insults are thrown his way, he won’t be affected in the slightest. The only time an insult will get a rise out of him is when it is directed at one of his friends, and it obviously hurts them.
Zachary is very loyal, intelligent, calming, and comforting. Those few he truly considers friends will be his friends for life unless they do something VERY wrong (in his eyes). If you need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to rant to Zachary can be very understanding; will always listen, no matter how trivial; and he will NEVER tell anyone anything you say to him in confidence, even if it something small; he still considers your trust more important. No matter what his situation, he will never bend in his moral code, as loose as that code is.
History: Zachary was born to a pair of well trained and moderately powerful Song Knights, started his training at a young age. He soon showed that he had the potential to surpass both of his parents in both the ways of song, and in the art of combat. However 2 weeks before Zachary’s 8th birthday, both of his parents were killed in a supposedly easy mission that went extremely wrong. From this point on Zachary spent even more time working on his abilities.
When Zachary was first introduced to fictional books, cooking and dancing at the age of 9 in order to stop him from becoming obsessed with getting better and to teach him to live life. The cooking lesson sat with him and he learned how; and he enjoyed dancing, although he would never go beyond a skilled amateur level. However, he took to the books like bees to flowers. Reading them whenever he wasn’t training, eating, sleeping, or going to school, and often when he was. He tried writing his first book when he was 11, spending a couple of months working on it. When it was finished he read it, threw it away, and tried again. And again. And again, until he finally managed to write a book that he was sure plenty of people would enjoy. This happened when he was 14, right after he got into school to become a Song Knight. Since then he has released several other books, all of them behind a false name, and each with varying levels of success, although his last two have flown off of the shelves in all three nations, allowing Zachary to gather a moderate amount of wealth.
Instrument and Weapons: Voice and Hands. Zachary didn’t want to have to rely on something he may lose, and has trained both his voice and his body in a wide variety of ways. His voice has an incredible range starting at a medium bass and going all the way up to a moderate soprano. He has trained his body in several different Martial Arts, to the point where he would be considered a black belt in 2 different styles, and relatively trained in 4 others. His primary style of combat is to avoid the opponents hits, making it look as though a single hit would finish him, only to then step into the enemies attack and hit them where it hurts when they make themselves vulnerable. He has also trained himself to sing while fighting.
Magic:
Elemental Enhancement: Zachary draws on the elements to strengthen his mind and body. Due to the power constant flow of energy, his body heals almost five times faster the normal. This allows him to walk for days without rest; carry larger loads then normal, about twice as much as a normal person of the same strength; and take beatings that would normally disable or kill a normal person. In addition to this, the healing helps replace and prevent the loss of nutrition and water, allowing him to go for far longer periods of time (about three times longer) then most other people. That's about 9 weeks without food, 9 days without water, and 9 minutes without air.
Other: When in class, but not needing to do anything, Zachary will often pull out a romance novel (yes, his classmates have ragged him about this more than once, but Zachary doesn’t care), occasionally even one of his own (in order to hide the fact that he is an author). Other skills include, but are not limited to, Dancing, Cooking, and the disturbing ability to ignore his Spirit’s actions/activities.
Spirit
Name: Loiosh
Title: Dragon of Bonds
Gender: Male
Element: Dark and Earth
Rank: C
Height: Standing tall, 1’2”, from head to tail Loiosh is just over two feet at 2’1”, with a wingspan of 3’8”
Weight: 22 pounds.
Appearance:
Personality: Loiosh is a very friendly and playful spirit, and often likes flying around to others and playfully attacking them, or hiding and ambushing them. He usually makes sure not to hurt them (never breaks the skin) and always makes sure they know he is playing. He is also very understanding of kids grabbing him and pulling on his wings and tail, making sure they don’t hurt themselves, and often acting like they have the advantage, just before suddenly slipping out of their grasp and flying out of their reach, or landing on top of them.
Despite his playfulness, he can also be quite serious when something important is happening, or when someone is in danger, and has a very macabre humor in said situations. He will not hesitate to fly to someone’s rescue, or let his enemy suffer. If you get on Loiosh’s bad side, you're stuck there unless you really go out of your way to appease him, however he is understanding and it is very hard to make him truly mad. Irritated however, he can do Irritated.
Powers:
Natural:
Enhanced senses: Night Vision, Super and Subsonic hearing.
Flight: Using his wings, Loiosh can fly.
Venomous bite: Loiosh’s bite is slightly venomous. Against humans it is irritating, and causes some minor swelling.
Poison Sting: Loiosh’s main weapon is his stinger, which can paralyse large dogs, and small humans with a single hit. Two hits will paralyse most people. However, Loiosh can only use this two or three times a day.
Magical:
Shadow Cloak: Loiosh can turn invisible while in a shadow.
Psionic Link: Loiosh can Telepathically communicate with the human he is bonded to, as well as share emotions, eyesight, hearing and sense of smell.
Toxic Breath: Loiosh is a dragon, and therefore has a breath attack. He breaths out a gaseous mixture of Nitrogen, oxygen, and methane. This attack can’t kill on its own, and isn’t likely to do more the cause some breathing problems for his target or put them to sleep (Suffocation/too much oxygen). However it is very flammable, and can cause a very brief, but very hot, fire that can cause third degree burns, but again, not very lethal.
Note: None of Loiosh’s abilities are very powerful on their own, and even combined they aren’t exceptional. I want with a bunch of lesser powers instead of one or two powerful ones. Loiosh and Zachary make excellent scouts, and a good team lead, but have very few ways to take care of enemies on their own.
