Joseph the Dragon Knight

The Dragon Knight

Appearance

Both his base form and dragon form, side by side comparison

Currently at the age of 23, Joseph stands at 6'01 and weighs 220 lbs. He has a very muscular build, with a light beige skin tone. His hair is a mess of pure white spikes and bangs. His face is a bit chiseled with slightly angular cheeks and nose, but is otherwise soft and youthful. His eyes are a unnatural crimson, a testament to his draconic blood. These eyes passively give off an almost aura-like glow, as if they were dim candle flames.

While casual wear may involve a simple white t shirt and shorts, he most often adorns his armor. This armor is made from the shedded scales of his dragon form, molded with iron and studded with leather. On his back is a scabbard for his sword.

The Dragon Knight
Joseph Drake
23
Male
S Rank #5

Personality

As if someone mixed the stereotypes of the hotheaded hero with the brooding edgelord anti-hero, Joseph's pride sticks out along with his hot-headed tendencies and condescending tone. Even stranger though, is that he seems to calm down in combat. While outside of a fight he is quick to overestimate himself, insult others, and overall being very brash. In combat however, he becomes an almost entirely different person. He becomes quiet, focused, and less 'confident'. Though his pride will still show, he is less likely to underestimate his opponents at this point. He may even become much more of a tactical fighter should his starting, straight aggression fail to provide any suitable edge over a battle. What doesn't change though, is his stubbornness. It is difficult for him to accept defeat, even bearing major injuries or being completely overpowered, he has a will to win, or at the very least, keep fighting for as long as he can. Nothing annoys him more then an opponent he can't beat, and in those scenarios that stubborn demeanor morphs into spiteful actions.
He does have a bit of honor though, he enjoys the concept of 'fair' fights, enjoying the thrill of battle and its challenges. He can find respect in those that he can consider to have equal or greater strength, so long as they not dwarf him in such power.

While he can be quiet rude, even at times pushing people away or preferring to be alone, it isn't impossible for him to develop bonds with others, especially bonds forged in battle.

Brief History

Joseph was born of the drake family, a noble lineage who's ancestors were one of the few to survive drinking the blood of a dragon. A dragon's blood is toxic and slightly corrosive, but those that survive digesting its contents, which is about a 21% chance, become infused with the nature of a dragon. Those that have gained the blood of dragons are sometimes called 'Gorgons', and their offspring produce more of these half-mortal aberrations. While his most gorgons only have minor abilities, Joseph was born with a great deal of power that would be revealed when his mansion was attacked by a monster when he was 17. Before then, he had lived a quiet and wealthy life with his family. That incident however, triggered him to discover the true nature of his bloodline, defeating the monster after sustaining some injuries and having his house entirely destroyed. His parents survived, but his baby brother was crushed by the time the battle was over.

Joseph, in mourning, joined the heroes. Doing so to harness his potential, follow the path of his ancestors, and both avenge and honor his deceased sibling.

Power Details

Human Passives and Abilities

Like others of his family his lifespan is significantly extend, approximately thrice that of a typical mortal.
He has an extremely heat resistance, unaffected by temperatures exceeding molten rock. This does not however make him immune to the explosive force and other damaging factors of heat based attacks, such as the explosion of a grenade.
He is far more durable then the average human, his skin has a durability more akin to refined leather. Though still vulnerable to blades and bullets, such attacks do about a 1/4th of the damage it would normally do to a human body.
Whats more is that his blood, being that of a dragon's, is toxic. It is very corrosive to most organic bodies like plants and skin, his own body being an exception, weak metals including iron and copper, and other materials vulnerable to such a moderate acid. A human finger would dissolve almost entirely if it had sustained contact with the blood for over an hour, as the blood does not corrode too quickly. But even a minute of exposure can cause intense pain.
His glowing eyes give him twice the reaction speed of a normal human's vision, as well as being able to see in utter darkness as if his eyes were a pair of lanterns. His sense of smell is more like a bloodhound as well. His cells regenerate, clot, and repair far faster then a typical human's, as well as more efficiently. Even a wound that would be fatal would clot in a matter of a minute or two, and he can grow a leg or arm that has been lost in a matter of weeks. However he cannot survive without vital organs.
Strength wise, he can lift up to two tons with ease, but anything more is a bit of a struggle. He can easily dent an iron wall however.
He can dash short distances as fast as 175 mph.
Lastly, he has minor fire manipulation, he is able to breathe a jet of flames hot enough to melt iron, throw fireballs with the same power as a frag grenade, and ignite his entire body on fire.

Transformation

His true power however, is his transformation. This allows him to become from a human into a dragon. This form is far stronger and more destructive then his human form, and is the reason why he is at S class. The transformation takes a single minute, however it is incredibly painful. Because of this, he only uses this transformations when it is needed, if he cannot possibly fight a foe in his human form. His transformed state is the reason for his S class status. Transforming causes his clothes/armor to rip, so he has to strip before transforming to prevent ruining his attire. When he transforms back, he is of course, naked. Additionally, once he transforms back he goes conscienceless for a few hours.

The transformed state is as appeared in the previous picture, a giant 75 foot long, 15 foot tall behemoth of a lizard-like creature with crimson reptilian eyes, white and black scales and scutes, great and powerful claws and teeth. In this form he weighs roughly 100 tons, due to size, heavy scales, and muscle density. The dragon form only lasts 6 hours and can only be used once a day. It should be noted that wounds and scars from the human form will transfer to the dragon form in proportion, and vice versa.

Dragon Form Passives and Abilities

Like his human state, he is highly resistant to extreme heat, approximately 50,000 F estimate. In his dragon form, the black plated scales on the upper-side of his body are highly resilient and conventionally indestructible, it would take the extreme force of something on par with a direct meteor impact, nuclear bomb, etc to break through that armor with physical force alone. Direct attacks to those scales would be entirely absorbed and show known signs of breaking, even a punch with the force of a meteor would have no direct effect, however such forces can still push him back or launch him greatly (Assuming that the damage doesn't also hit on other parts of his body). The white scales on the rest of his body are as durable as iron. His teeth and jaws are strong enough to shatter platinum, and his saliva, while mostly harmless, can weaken supernatural based durability of foes temporarily on exposure, as well as slowing cellular regeneration to a hauling stop on exposure, in addition, preventing blood cells to clot. Vulnerabilities of biological and supernatural armors weaken to about iron-level of durability, if it is greater, though it takes about a minute for this durability decrease to take effect.
His massive claws can tear through steel, and can dig very quickly in hard earthen surfaces, utilizing burrowing strategies.
A swing of his tail could crack a mountain, and a full sprint headbutt can be as strong as a full-speed freight train collision.
He is slower in this form except in flight, only able to sprint on land at 50 miles an hour, though his stamina is significantly improved.
Bleeding wounds, even in severe injuries, clot in minutes just like his human form.
In terms of raw strength he can easily carry over a 100 tons.
Vision and scent are the same in his human form.
Fire manipulation is greatly improved. He can create flames heat hot enough to melt platinum, and can shoot explosive fireballs with an explosive force powerful enough to obliterate a skyscraper. A standard fire breath can stretch about half a kilometer in length, and 75 meters maximum in width though it spreads in a cone-like shape. He can also ignite his own body in flames.

The black spikes on his body are more akin to steel, and can be launched from his body as projectiles that can move as fast as a 9mm bullet, and can regrow in the same spot within a few seconds. A powerful stomp can create a 3 magnitude earthquake, but can be manipulated to minimal the radial distance of the quake to increase its destructive power.

While he doesn't have any initial wings in this form, he can 'grow' a pair of wings made of concentrated flames. Not only giving him flight but can allow him to fly at mach 1 speed, including short distance bursts or longer distance travel. The wings can also create a pressurized hot air blast around him or directly in front of him.

Goals

Fighting monsters and even some times, other heroes, is a fun activity for him to do. Overtime it has become his biggest motivation for being a hero, having watered down the original, emotional motivation of revenge. He does value the safety of the world from monsters, but that is a 'side' motivation. He doesn't have much goals at this point other then to keep fighting and being able to survive to fight again.

Equipment

His armor is about as durable as iron armor, but much more flexible.

His sword, though having a menacing design and a glowing effect, by itself isn't much greater then a steel sword. Being embedded with black scales it is practically indestructible by most physical means, and it can be used to set its blade on fire or launch flaming projectiles mixed with Joseph's own power.

Vulnerabilities

Cryogenic weapons and similar damage bases are especially effective, as they not only weaken his firepower but also drain his stamina and other minor ailments relating to freezing up, essentially can bypass armor if effective enough.

There exists a rare flowering plant that is grown in hostile parts of the world that is a natural 'dragon repellent' even humans with dragon's blood cannot stand its scent. Up close or swallowed it is as effective as a bear being sprayed with bear-spray.

In dragon form, the very underbelly of his body is softer then even the other white scales, making it the best target to hit.

[Melkor]

Aaron Tresler

Name: Aaron Tresler

Hero Name: Savant

Class and Rank: Class A Rank 18

Sex: Male

Age: 17

Personality: Tresler doesn't question things too often, simply accepting the reality that is his and following his intuition. He cooperates well with others and typically gets along well. He likes to seclude himself to think, he often retreats to rooftops or bridges for this purpose.

Background/History: Aaron lead a rather normal life. He lived in City S and lives in City B, while attending the academy in City A. He lives with his mother in City B and his hero income is the only income of his household. She can’t work because her legs had been broken several years before by a large lobster-man monster. Not long after that Aaron decided to attempt the Hero Exam and he scored in Class B where he dealt with several minor threats and has, since, worked his way up to Class A, although not very high ranked.

Powers:

- The Savant's Eye: The ability to learn any physical skill, including language, by seeing it performed at least once. Aaron can only imitate the specific motions that he sees. He can't learn anything about a fighting style that isn't demonstrated, and his muscles can change to assist the skill so he would be able to perfrom it but it does take a lot out of him. More so if he slacks on his training or performs something far beyond him. Though he can perform acts beyond his normal abilities. He can instantly learn anything that he could have learned on his own.

- Knowledge Reserve: Aaron’s eidetic memory allows him to recall any moment in his past instantaneously and reuse any ability he had previously used or seen demonstrated. Though this is still bound by the limitations of his first ability.

Goal/Desires: To learn everything.

*Prepares his master balls for the catch*

[Phobos]

@Emuxe@Phobos Do either one of you want to give a ruling on Animal's attack? That way I can conjure up a post.

@Melkor

I'll get a post up right now ^.^ but if you guys would like, I see no problem with you guys controlling the enemies when doing smaller or combo attacks, as to not limit you guys too much

[Animal]

@Phobos Well the thing is, this combo-attack might finish the Alien off xD

[FallenTrinity]

@Emuxe@Phobos

I was planning on smacking the little elfen lied duck with Bjorn back into the building. Just wondering what dreadlock is planning

[Melkor]

@Phobos Thanks. Also, I posted a second CS.

[Cherrywitch]

Hey there... Erm, this looks super interesting, do you still have some spots open?

I'm sorry, I'm an awkward dandere, help.

[Melkor]

@Cherrywitch Yeah, it would seem that this is always open

[Phobos]

@dragonmancer
Sorry thought I had posted it in the front but the top 3 spots are taken and being reserved for GM use.

@Cherrywitch
Just as Melkor said we are always open ^.^

@Melkor
Just checked him out, approved~

[BayRat]

@PhobosI'll move him down then, sorry!

[FallenTrinity]

@Emuxe@Phobos

There was one thing I needed to added to Allister as a skill which is combat reflexes. Should that be added or is it safe to say it's implied with him being in his early thirties with years of hero fighting experience?

[Phobos]

@dragonmancer
It's no problem ^.^ I'll look over him right now

@FallenTrinity
Yeah that's fine, with his rank such skills are to be expected xD

[FallenTrinity]

@Phobos
Now just need Emuxe to post :3
