Dreadlin Nauss

Nickname/Alias
"Beastkin"; "Lizardman"; "Dreadie/Naussie"; "Scales'"

Age
64 - (Looks 28)

Gender
Male

Rank
A-Rank

Physique
A stout yet muscular lizardman standing at 5'10" (1.8 Meters Tall), Dreadlin is more on the smaller side when compared to his kin. However, he's significantly stronger and much more durable then an actual human. His scales provide him with admirable protection against the elements and physical trauma, with his tall spikes acting as additional protection against arial threats. His claws on both his hands and feet can also unleash a great deal of damage if they connect to an attack.

His guild mark is located on his left shoulder.



Personality
Most of the lizardmen in Togesu village are rather antisocial and live solitarily from the outside world. Dreadlin, on the other hand, happens to have the opposite mindset. He's an open and cheerful lad who, while has major pride when regarding his kind, he also has an interest for mankind. Having been confined within his village, he'd always been curious about what lied beyond the dense jungles. Always seeking for adventure, Dreadlin loves to go on long expeditions just to see what the world will present him. He's very sociable towards the other guild mates and loves to chat up a storm. He often talks about his adventures or even stories regarding his village and their mythologies. When alone, he can be just fine in simply sunbathing, adventuring, fishing, or even fighting other monsters in the deep wilderness. Of course, he also finds time to visit his village at least twice a year if not more to check up on his friends and family.

At the same time, Dreadlin knows quite well that he is an outcast in a world that's unfamiliar and unforgiving. When he encounters racism regarding his own, he often tries to simply ignore it or calmly tell them to stop. Of course, if it reaches an unbearable boiling point, he wouldn't hesitate to bash their heads in to simply make them stop. Regardless, he is hopeful that one day the two species can live side-by-side in peaceful harmony instead of living apart from one another.

Brief Bio
Dreadlin Nauss was born to a lizardman tribe, known as Togesu Village, within the depths of the Eastern Jungles. He belonged to an ancient species of lizardmen who had been living in the same jungles for thousands of years, living out of sight from human interaction. It was a quiet and reserved location, hanging just next to a large jungle lake where they both fed and bathed in peace. They had little trust towards mankind, with some of their own having seen hostile persons deforest the outer portions of their beloved forest. This made them incredibly hostile towards mankind and killed any human being who dared to set foot within a mile radius of their home.

Dreadlin was one of the many lizardmen sheltered from the outside world, alongside his older brother Mylriak, as he was forced to stay within the forest boundaries. He was forbidden to go outside the forest under any circumstances, with the village elders telling stories of others leaving but never returning, as well as the scourge of mankind themselves. After all, he and his brother was blessed with an incredible power that only a selected bloodline of lizardmen could ever had. He had the power of the "Beast Soul", passed down via blood through generation to generation. He, along with Mylriak, were the village guardians, who defended the village from giant scaly monsters that threatened to destroy it. Yet for every monster they've slain, they've gained their soul essence and acquired them into themselves, allowing them to turn parts of or even their entire body into said monster. The two brothers created a powerful force to be reckoned with and proved to be too valuable to leave. This made the concept of leaving all the more forbidden for them.

However, this didn't stop the adventurous Dreadlin, who'd always been itching to explore what was beyond the forest. When he was a mere teenager, he braved through miles of woodland hills to get to the boarder of the jungle woodland. When he emerged, he saw a vast open plain stretching as far as the eye could see, revealing many possibilities at what could be out there. But before he could attempt to go further, a person saw the lizardman and ran away in fight, forcing Dreadlin to head back to the village.

Several decades later, a more matured Dreadlin chose to leave the confines of the forest and set out into the outside world alone. He told the village about his plans, yet never wishes to forget his heritage. He claims that he'll visit them at least once every year to check up on them. Mylrak was heavily disappointed his brother moving out of the safety of their village, yet he was forced to respect his ideals. After all, he was now the sole guardian of Togesu village and he'll do anything to uphold it's safety. The others also weren't happy for him leaving, but they too were forced to accept his request.

Dreadlin scoured the land for many years in his never ending adventure, having encountered both the major ups and down of mankind. He realized how mankind isn't as bad as his village claims they all are, while also recognizing that they aren't all truly innocent. Either way, he attempted to help as many people as he could for their benefit and had made several close friends down the line. Many welcomed his odd, yet charming, personality, while a good portion did not. Yet all of this eventually lead him to the Dragon Heart guild, where he could live his life as an official member of society with a group of friends to boot.



Magic

"Beast Soul"

While Dreadlin's Beast Soul allows for him to transform into any monster he defeats in battle for an extended period of time, while gaining their elemental powers and abilities, as well as their weaknesses. He is capable of mimicking their move sets with near perfect accuracy and transform his limbs into various parts of the respected monster.

• Lizard Monster: Dreadlin's default Beast Soul is a giant lizard monster. Standing at 9 feet tall, it's rather small and fairly weak compared to some of his other forms, not even having a base element. However, this monster is fast and surprisingly agile, being able to climb up flat walls and even run on water. It's gut is enormous, allowing it to swallow creatures up to the size of a cow in one gulp.
• Fire Monster: Dreadlin's Fire Monster form allows him to wield the fire element, using his mouth to fire balls and beams of fire at his opponent, causing an explosion upon impact. His tail is as sharp as a blade and it can be sharpened not just to produce a cleaner cut, but it can also heat up to the point where it can cut straight through metal (although it takes roughly six scrapes on a rock to accomplish this). It is weak to water-based attacks.
• Water Monster: Dreadlin's Water Monster form allows him to wield the water element, using his mouth to fire high-pressured water beams at his opponent. While it's decently agile on land, the monster truly shines when underwater as it can swim through the water with relative ease. It is weak to ice-based attacks.
• Earth Monster: Dreadlin's Earth Monster form allows him to wield the earth element, using brute strength of his armored head to lift huge chunks of rock into the air or cause earthquakes. While it's a smaller monster compared to most of the others, he is decently mobile creature and also very sturdy, being able to take much punishment and burrow quickly into the ground below him. He can bathe in mud to release mud balls at his opponents, which can harden quickly to slowly lock them in place. It's weak to water-based attacks.
• Ice Monster: Dreadlin's Ice Monster form allows him to wield the ice element, allowing him to use his mouth to fire a freezing beam or to chomp up hard rocks and ice flow. Alongside his Fire Monster form, it's the largest creature currently in Deadlin's possession. It's large spines on the top of his back allow it to break through ice flows while underground and while mostly on the slow and sluggish side, it can go for sudden bursts of agility if needed. It's also known to jump for great distances. It's weak to fire-based attacks.
• Lightning Monster: Dreadlin's Lightning Monster form allows him to wield the lightning element, allowing it to charge up static-electricity in its fur and unleash it alongside multiple melee attacks. This creature is extremely fast and agile, infamous for it's acrobatic skill by issuing tail flips and is even known to glide using membranes attached to its limbs like a flying squirrel. If it charges enough electricity, whether naturally through its body or by someone charging him up with the lightning element, it can go into an enraged form where it's much faster and the attacks are more powerful thanks to said element. It's weak to earth-based attacks.

Items

• Village Amulet: Given to him personally by the lizard elder, in which he's granted as an eternal guardian and representative of Togesu Village.
• Monster Trophies: In his hut, Dreadlin has a collection of parts he's collected from the monsters he's defeated.
• Snacks: On missions, Dreadlin often brings a pack of berries and jerky meat with him as a light snack on the go.
• Toothy Necklace: Dreadlin wears a necklace of his own teeth that he had lost within the span of twenty years. He believes it brings him good luck.

Mylriak Nauss: Older brother (85) who works as Togesu Village's guardian and smithy. He has a rather harsh outlook on life and does not trust mankind, yet is undyingly loyal to his village and its culture.

Name: Vega Ashcroft

Nickname/Alias: "The Reaper", "The Mage Slayer"

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Rank (Prospective S)

Physique: Drawin' it

Personality: Vega is a scoundrel, one of the least pleasant people to be around, a bully, vulgar individual with little to no regard for those around him. It's quite a wonder that such a person would ever be a self-respecting mage let alone part of one with some renown, or an S rank for that matter. True, while he to many would seem no more different to a crazy outlaw who would beat a man who looks at him strange, he's also a no-nonsense type of individual, scarily skilled at anything that doesn't need him to persuade someone, as he's plenty good at "convincing" some people.

Though it's been a good few years since he's treated everyone this way, now he mainly treats outsiders in this fashion. Today though, he's far different, still very distant from everyone and keeping a wide berth. He dislikes acting pleasant, if he wants to treat someone pleasantly he will, otherwise he'll treat them how he thinks they should be treated. Despite his rough edges he's quite true to himself. At this point he treats those in the guild like family that he dislikes being around. As such he's rarely in the spotlight, at least until a crisis occurs, otherwise he's off taking missions or messing about in town someplace on his own.

Likes:
Money, music, rich people.

Dislikes:
Naggers, noisy people, weaklings, rich people.

Fears:
He doesn't appear to have one.

Brief Bio:

Vega was a simple street urchin, who turned to thievery like many have before. He was always alone, disagreeable and hard to work with, he took on solo thefts and so on, always in someone's shadow to take everything as soon as it was ripe. It was until he stole from a particular man, an old tome that seemed to be worth a lot, some powerful magic in it he thought, and he thought right, but attempts to sell and fence it went awry, and so he was forced to hold onto it for now. In curiosity he purused through the pages, only to find out he had some talent for magic.

For the first time in his life he ended up seriously studying something that wasn't the orphanage's school curriculum. It interested him, moreover the bloody history hinted at in these pages excited him... Mages right? He knew of them and has robbed some, but never did it cross his mind to become one. And it still hasn't, using this magic to steal from even more mages is what he ended up doing.

For awhile he ran rampant as the Reaper, small talk in some towns, until he was found by the Guild Master of Dragon's Heart, defeated, and offered a choice. He can be turned in as a Dark Mage, and likely be locked away to rot, or he joins his guild, and be absolved of his crimes, on the precedent that there were no kills and that he was more or less a new mage. He took the latter option.

While in the Dragon's Heart guild, he was... A troublemaker, a big one. It took him months until he was cooperative enough to take missions with other members but by then their mood soured when it came to him, but it didn't bother him at all. For a long time he was quickly promoted to an A rank, but compared to many of the Guild's S ranks by then, always honing his strength and magic... Though to this day he qualifies for S, but is prevented for... Other reasons.

Gender
Female

Rank
B+

Physique
Kiana is a girl of somewhat short stature, standing at just under 5’5” and weighing 115 pounds. Her hair is a darker shade of pink that reaches to her shoulder blades. Most of the time, Kiana keeps her hair in a ponytail. She often wears thin, loose clothing that she feels comfortable in, as well as some basic wood sandals. Kiana walks with a rather obvious attitude, keeping her chin high and shoulders back. She does not shy away from eye contact, and has a habit of brushing her bangs away from her face. Her guild mark is on the lower right of her abdomen.

The Persona

Personality
The best description of Kiana can be summed up in one word: attitude. No matter the situation, Kiana is not afraid to speak her mind or be honest, even at the cost of someone else’s feelings. She does not shy away from people, though she prefers being alone more often than not. She is not easily provoked, and is more than capable of ignoring petty insults; however, she finds it difficult to back down from a challenge, and jumps at any opportunity to prove herself. She is extremely prideful, and has a hard time taking a loss, especially in front of others. As a result of this, she also has a hard time asking for help from others.

Despite her attitude, Kiana respects authority, and isn’t afraid to admit to her faults and weaknesses. She has a deeply-ingrained work ethic and an intrinsic sense of motivation; in other words, if you give her a task, she will get it done no matter how difficult. Kiana has a strong moral compass and a deep desire to help others, despite her abrasive personality. She always does her best to help make the world a better place, and she won’t shy away from any chance to do so.

Brief Bio
Kiana Sonitus was born into a relatively simple life, in a quiet town called Lilycrest. As an only child, she received a great deal of attention from her parents, who owned a small inn. Her mother was a retired singer who used magic to enhance her singing voice, while her father inherited the inn from his parents. Travelers would buy a few drinks, settle in for the night, and be on their way. It made the family decent money, and soon enough it became a well-known pit stop for anyone passing through town. But as the inn gained popularity, it attracted some less-than-desirable attention. Groups of bandits took a liking to the place and began to terrorize the other patrons, as well as Kiana’s parents. Eventually, Lilycrest became a notorious haven for thieves and bandits, who took advantage of the townspeople’s fear. It seemed like they would never leave.

One day, a brave citizen of Lilycrest managed to send word of the town’s predicament to a nearby guild: Dragon Heart. Within a week, a group of mages appeared, driving every outlaw away from Lilycrest and into the custody of the authorities. Kiana watched from her window as these powerful mages summoned bolts of lightning, transformed themselves into animals, and even breathed fire. When the dust settled, Lilycrest was free, and her life returned to normal. However, Kiana felt a sudden realization dawn on her: she wanted to be like those mages. She wanted to be one of those powerful heroes who used their abilities to make the world better. So when her magic began to manifest at the tender age of 14, Kiana knew she had found her purpose.

With a great deal of persistence, Kiana convinced her mother to teach her magic. While her mother’s magic was centered around manipulating music, she helped to teach Kiana a more generalized version, which was more applicable to combat. Soon, Kiana became quite proficient, even chasing away some of the rowdier tavern patrons. At the age of 17, she set off to Rosa Blanca, her mind set on only one goal: joining Dragon Heart.

The Mage

Magic
Sound Magic

Description
Sound Magic, in essence, grants Kiana control over soundwaves. She can manipulate these soundwaves in a variety of ways, and generate them from any place on her body. While these soundwaves are largely invisible to the human eye, Kiana generates red sparks upon creating them. These soundwaves are also loud, as each spell creates a loud noise upon being cast. While users of sound magic tend to focus on mid-range and long-range combat, Kiana specializes in close-quarters combat; she does this by using her soundwaves to enhance her physical abilities. However, this makes her rather vulnerable to attacks from a distance, as it requires her to get close to an opponent; she also has no true defensive spells to protect her from such a ranged attack.

Spells











Items

For the belongings she carries with her, Kiana has a small backpack. Inside are:

•A copy of the book Intensity: Extreme Workouts that she uses as a training guide.
•A set of weights that she can strap to her arms and legs.
•A pair of magic headphones.

Miscellaneous

•Due to the nature of her magic, Kiana is a skilled martial artist.
•Despite her small frame, Kiana is very physically strong. This is due to her frequent exercising, in which she focuses on strength.
•Most of the time, she straps weights to her arms and legs.
•Kiana’s mother is relatively famous. On occasion, Kiana will get comments from older fans of her mother about resembling her.

Name
Sabine Morrick

Nickname/Alias
The Spellbinding Sanctimonious Sesquipedalian

Age
25

Gender
Female

Rank
B-

Physique
Sabine has quite the eccentric, or rather messy, appearance about her which starts all the way at the top. Specifically, her chocolate brown hair is both wildly unkempt and on the short side with uneven parts and frays that suggests an unsteady and unsure hand held the scissors of style. Recently her hair has been growing out a bit more which has the ill effect of bangs getting into her seagreen eyes - more a general annoyance than anything else. She doesn't cut an imposing figure, standing at a slightly above average five-foot-ten, and her slender, lankish frame doing her more favors for her height and stride than anything else. Her sense of style is rather eccentric to boot. Most days sees her attired in a form fitting tunic and and skirt with a belt around her waist - the belt isn't exactly a belt but a rather long and seemingly endless scroll of parchment that is vital to her spell casting process. Some days she'll vary it up, wearing more 'boysih' clothes such as vests and shorts, but the one constant is in her foot and legwear. Her shoes are mismatched, with her left foot having a black heeled boot with a thigh-high legging tucked into the boot; her right foot is just a red heeled thigh-high boot.

Attached to her outfit, much like a holster would hold a gun, is a pocket book that resembles a pocket dictionary mixed with a journal. This is kept in a special satchel near her belt-scroll.

Her guild mark is located on her left palm, often obscured by gloves.



Personality
It wouldn't be unexpected if the common sentiment from her peers is that Sabine is rather...grating to be around even despite her general upbeat nature. It doesn't matter how positive and optimistic one is - and if Sabine is anything...well if she's two things then positive and optimistic is what she is - when you grate on people's nerves they tend to try and limit their time around you. And Sabine has an unfortunate ability to grate on people's nerves, sure some might find the way she tries to see the best in a situation no matter how dire to be grating, but the real annoyance comes in how she communicates and interacts with people. Because of the nature of her magic and just because of who she is, Sabine has a tendency to talk. And talk. And talk. And to do so incredibly quickly with, and this is the real annoyance, frequent use of long, often archaic, words that she assumes make her sound smart but really come off as incredibly pretentious at best and smugly intellectual at worst.

While her penchant for diatribe might seem like it makes her ill suited for socialization, it really only gets so bad if people converse with her, most other times she'll likely be found in one of two places: buried with a book in the library or helping out at the bar - both for the same general purpose of expanding her lexicography: one via old fashioned learning and the other by more personable interacting. Sabine will often come across like she's the smartest person in the room, and depending on the makeup of said room that may well be true, but despite her book smart intelligence she is still lacking a bit in tact and social grace. However, she's almost unable to lie both because of her incredibly awful poker face and her honest belief that lying solves nothing even if it makes a sad person feel better for a scant few moments.

Sabine is somewhat eager to impress and would like to accomplish two things in particular: expand her Lexicon and to work with every member of Dragon Heart at least once. Assuming they can stand to be around her in larger doses of time.

Brief Bio
Born in a little hamlet known more for its long winters than anything else by the name of Casellia, Sabine's early life was something of a sheltered one. Her father was, as far as she knew, unemployed though her mother, an owner of a small book store, would say to a young Sabine that her father "worked at the tavern" which was the first of many lies that Sabine was saddled with. From a young age, shortly after she was able to sound out words, Sabine was made to read books by her mother, most of which were from the store but there were some that came from her mother's private collection. While other kids were having snowball fights and running around, Sabine was learning how snow was made. She never assumed she was being made to look for something amidst all the books.

Sabine found out the hard way what 'worked at the tavern' meant when the door to the family home, the first floor of which was her mother's book store, was kicked open by a group of angry people demanding payment for loans and debts accrued from both the loans and gambling. Sabine's mother managed to extend the repayment date, though it came with her husband - Sabine's father - suffering wounds and bruising for the trouble. When she asked who those people were, Sabine's mother told her that they were mages, that they were bad people, and that it was vital that Sabine keep up with her reading. She was instructed by her mother to start copying down the contents of the books she was reading just in case the bad men wanted to steal them.

Because the bad people who wanted what they were owed were, well, bad people, they came back regularly just to harass or vandalize. At the same time Sabine, growing tired of endless reading, was defacing a book by drawing in the margins - and her drawings started to glow and disappear into the book. Sabine, excited, ran to show off to her parents - who were in a heated argument with the 'Mages'. Sabine, understandably afraid of the scene, shrieked at everyone to "chill out". The book in her hands lit up and the inside of the book shop was caught in a blizzard harsher than even the frigid winters of Casellia. Sabine, however, remained unaffected by the cold, simply closing her eyes in fear. When she opened them once the winds stopped howling, the bad people were encased in ice - as were her parents.

Sabine didn't know what to do so like any young child, she ran for help. Fortunately, there were some good people that happened to be actual Mages in town at the time so she didn't have to run far. They were there to investigate rumors of someone distributing and dealing in forged magical texts as well as confirm that the counterfeiter had legitimate stolen goods. When they found a girl clutching a magic book she had unknowingly used and thus bound to herself there wasn't much choice in the matter. The girl went along with them after telling them she wanted to find a way to undo what she had done to her parents and the bad people.

Despite the incident, Sabine recovered from it mostly intact. Once she understood about magic and the like, she found her way to Dragon Heart where she was initially wary but eager to meet people. Most tended to avoid her because of her strange over-eagerness, but she managed to make her first friend - Lucan - largely because he was one of the few who didn't just tell her to stop talking. It's almost been ten years since she's been a full fledged member of the Guild and she's matured somewhat thanks to the people who mostly don't seem to actually dislike her.

Even so, she still refuses to use ice or cold related spells.



Magic
Letter Magic - Word Lexicon


Description
Sabine's magic comes in the unique combination of two sources. The first is the book she keeps on her person at all times. It is known, or she calls it, as her Lexicon and contained within the Lexicon are words she can turn into applicable magic. The second aspect comes in her belt-scroll. In order to use the magic contained within the pages of her Lexicon she has to write the words on her scroll which then allows the magic to be cast. While she is able to add words to the Lexicon, she can only ever cast spells if they come from her Lexicon.



Spells

Conflagration:
Arguably the bread and butter of such magic, it's a favored spell of Sabine's. What started as a simple fire spell now produces a large fire, or explosion. Conflagration can be used as a ranged fireball type of spell or channeled through her scroll like a whip of fire.

Palisade:
A purely defensive spell that puts up a crude palisade in front of her. She can modify the material to make it more effective but regularly it's a crude wooden barricade that offers, generally, a brief moment of respite.

Inundation:
The yin to conflagration's yang, inundation creates a whirlpool spiraling towards wherever she spirals her scroll towards.

Escutcheon:
Similar to palisade in that it's a defensive spell, Escutcheon turns her scroll into effectively a shield. What it doesn't do is make it so every attack is warded off - while it is used to ward off physical magic attacks, it's dependent on Sabine's own physical strength in order to deflect succesfully.

Fulmination:
Fulmination charges her scroll with electricity which she can discharge if she cracks her scroll like a whip.

Precipitateness
With this spell active, Sabine can run quite like the wind and jump further than normal. Unfortunately she gets exhausted even quicker using this spell.

Items
Her Lexicon, a pocket dictionary of spells kept on her person at all times. She can add to it once she learns the appropriate word and spell effect.
Her scroll, kept on her person and worn like a belt.

Miscellaneous
She really, really wants a pet cat.
Has been working the bar a lot more recently because she wants to get to know people better, and what better way to do that than by buttering them up with booze.
She knows she shouldn't, but she can't resist card games. It's a compulsion.
