[@Leslie Hall] (As a side note I am assuming that dragons are different in this universe, if not then I can just come up with a different character.) [hider=The Dracomancer] “To the devils I say, I will sing them a song of scales and fire.” [h1] [u][b]Librarium Registration Card[/b][/u] [/h1] [img]http://cdn.backyardchickens.com/b/b4/593x593px-LL-b47ce669_wolfie.jpeg[/img] | Name: | Monroe Bishop Jonathan | Alias|Nickames|Titles: | The Dracomancer | Bishop | The Monroe Dragon | G e n d er: | Male | R a n k: | B | Age: | 24 | Personality: | Jonathan is an adventurer with a kind heart. While he enjoys his job and takes advantage of it to explore beautiful worlds, as well as battle wizards and monsters, there are times when his morality can be conflicted with the best interests of the government. There are also times when he considered that he should have joined the pirates, as they seem more free and passionate. However, it is because of his service that his family is treated far better then the poor farming business they once had, and at the end of the day his experiences so far overall hasn't made him regret his decisions. Jonathan, while he takes things seriously, likes to keep things calm and in good spirits. He isn't afraid to show humor even if it is grim at dark times, nor is he bothered by the company of others. However he has the habit of playing the hero, which not only has given him a bit of a hidden ego that he isn't entirely aware of himself until someone else takes the spotlight, but his decision-making on what he thinks is the right thing to do can often contradict his mission or the interests of his superiors. This is especially with him believing that magic should be freely practiced, or at least, allowed in some way. He is very much confident in his own abilities as well as believing that there is no strength greater then that of a dragon's. | Sector : | Library Hunter | History: | [hider=Origin Story] Jonathan hails from the farmland outskirts of the of the Librarium. The villagers of his area were rather poor due to corruption, his father was a farmer and they couldn't afford much outside of necessities and crops to plant. He and other village kids would often play with pots and pans and sticks, pretending to be knights and villains. Jonathan in particular dreamed of one day being in service of the Librarium. To be able to make the wealth needed to improve the conditions of his family as well as fulfilling the thrills and adventures most young boys have. On a warm summer day, Jonathan's village was awoken by a roar and great trembling. Jonathan left his home to investigate the source, which seemed to be deep in the woods outside of town. Other villagers pouring out of their houses claimed a devil had been sighted nearby, trying to warn him but he didn't listen. Curiosity kills the cat as they say. The boy's eyes were lit with adventure and thrill, scared too, but he was desperate to see a monster face to face, to fill his fantasies as a warrior. After a good 5 minutes of running through foliage and trees, The trembling noises only got more intense as he entered a clearing. Before his very eyes, two great beasts were fighting. A devil and what appeared to be a dragon, both of monstrous size and power, were struggling against each other in fierce combat. The source of the noise was there struggle as the two beasts clashed, destroying their surroundings of the forest by their wake. At first amazed, Jonathan's terror soon found its way through his nerves as he froze up. The devil had tossed aside the dragon and its eyes locked onto the young child. With a terrifying roar the devil charged forward with intentions of murder, but as it drew with reach of the little adventurer, the dragon had lunged itself in front of the child, its massive body nearly crushing the boy but acting as a shield to the devil's attack. Taking a mortal blow, the toxic and boiling blood of the dragon splattered fourth from the grass as it became limp. Mildly irritated by the blood's properties as well as being satisfied with the dragon's death, the demon had fled. Leaving the nearly crushed child and the dying reptile alone. Unsure of what to do, Jonathan began to cry, as the lower half of his body was trapped beneath the great torso of the dragon, and its blood was starting to burn his skin. However he was surprised that someone had heard his plight. A voice whispered in his head, unclear of its source, let alone the nature of its tone. The voice itself was blurry and deep, but soft and quiet in its tone. "Drink thy blood, and you will be free." The crying had stifling, he was confused. The voice repeated itself, causing Jonathan to look down at the beast's blood pooling below him. Even as a child, he knew that if he didn't act soon that he'd likely die, either from burning from the blood or trauma from being crushed. Desperate, he listened to the voice, cuffing his hands and scooping up as much at the liquid that would start to sizzle his hands. At this point he was sure that swallowing the stuff would likely kill him, from the way it burned his flesh like mildly corrosive acid, but he was out of options. He gulped down the blood as if it were foul-tasting medicine one forces them self to accept. The following moments were a blur, but Jonathan recalled that after a wave of intense pain the burning had stopped, as if he had gone numb, and then passed out. When he awoke, he had discovered his burns were gone, and the now dried blood beneath him did nothing more then killed the grass below him. To his surprise, he was able to get off out of the dragon, though with a sprained ankle. He was able to return to the village. The voice never left him since then, and years later it began to guide him of the magic the blood had given him. Starting at 15, he trained his powers, occasionally guided by the disembodied voice for the following three years. He did so in secret as practicing free magic was forbidden. Eventually he grew confident enough to enlist to the Libarium's military, where he later got permission to practice magic for the governments service. He is driven by the thirst for adventure and thrill, and to explore the depths of his abilities.

The head can charge at a target with great force and can attempt to swallow a target. When a target is successfully engulfed by the dragon's head, instead of taking physical force, the target becomes temporarily stunned (usually) for a moment while the head disappears, and then they are surrounded in a large blast of magic energy directly. Requires Staff Range: The serpentine neck can extend for 15 meters, and the total width is about 5 meters. Cooldown: 10 minutes [/hider] [hider=Wrath of the Hellkite] Jonathan's body becomes ignited in a burst of flames. The armor of flames burns all that he touches. He cannot be burned in this state.

Requires staff unless wings are active. Range: 8 meter radius Cooldown: 5 minutes [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Info about the lost art of Dracomancy] [hider=To become a Dracomancer] Dracomancers are humans that have the blood of a dragon and gain magic that reflects that link. To become a Dracomancer, one must drink the blood of a freshly killed dragon (And survive, typically the usual process is a 30% survival rate due to the corrosive properties of dragon's blood). The blood cannot be from a living dragon, or a dragon that has long been dead. By doing this, after absorbing the blood, the spirit of the blood's dragon becomes bound to the user, transforming the user into a Dracomancer through the binding process. [/hider] [hider=Notable Dragon traits] Dragons are mythical and extremely rare creatures that inhabit the world. Their is no clear distinction of a dragon aside from being ancient toxic-blooded reptiles with an affinity towards fire and a biology that is more-or-less influenced by magic (Although dragons cannot cast spells themselves, but their physiology has magic influences such as breathing fire or creating intense gusts of wind, for example.) They can vary in size, form, intelligence, power, and ability. Individuals may be more feral and like sapience while others can communicate and posses sentience. All dragons cannot be burned by fire and other extreme sources of heat. Most dragons have iron-like scales with a soft underbelly, vulnerability towards ice-magic and elements reflecting the cold, and are lizard or snake-like. However those three traits have exceptions, such as ice dragons, fully armor cladded dragons, and dragons that may resemble a bird or dinosaur-like creature, despite still being ectotherm reptiles. All dragons are biologically immortal, meaning that they are not hindered by age and can only be killed by other factors like combat, disease, etc. Dragons however, rarely breed, and hatchlings take centuries to reach a mature state. [/hider] [hider=The powers of a dracomancer in general] All dracomancers have elongated lifespans, a resistance to fire, and having mildly corrosive blood akin to a dragon's. The spells of a dracomancer vary greatly depending upon the spirit they are bound to. Their spells often reflect that of their dragon when it was at a living state. Additionally, dracomancers can communicate with their dragons (so long as the dragon is able to speak), and the most advanced can summon their dragons as temporary living creatures. [/hider] [/hider] | Miscs : | The name he calls his dragon is Kilgarrah. It should be of note that he can only communicate to his dragon effectively through his staff, and others cannot hear the dragon's voice unless if they have some sort of spiritual or telepathic like power to do so. The exact nature of Kilgarrah is unknown, even Jonathan has no idea of the dragon's true intentions, other then the revenge it thirsts for the demon that slayed him. Kilgarrah's persona however, does often speak to Jonathan to give him advice and other information a ghostly dragon spirit can give, and may occasionally humor him, especially with grim or sarcastic forms. He has a staff to help him cast some of his spells, as well as being the largest connection currently to his dragon spirit.
