name: Konahriik
appearance: He had two horns on his head that will grow to become two large, impressive curved horns but for the moment are relatively stubby. His eyes are emerald green and his claws are long and sharp. He has purple/black scales with a streak of dark bronze on his belly. He is slightly larger than other dragons and slightly stronger as a result. However while he has some qualities dragons might find attractive in their mates, he is something that most dragons simply find revolting. Konahriik is a Wyvern; He has two legs and two wings rather than the usual four legs and two wings. The function of his front two legs is performed by his wings instead. This is considered by many dragons to be wrong and revolting, mutilated even. This is a genetically recessive trait, though a significant number of dragons are unknowingly carriers.
dragon name: VulViingKonhahriik
personality: He is rather cynical of the world around him and has a large inferiority complex. Due to his treatment as a hatchling he has learnt to defend himself and isn't afraid to face threats head on. Although he is capable of being very caring, he rarely if ever gets a chance to show this as most shun him. He is willing to talk to nearly anyone who is willing to listen and when he does get to talk he does so in droves due to usually being ignored. While it is hard to earn his trust and admiration he is fiercely loyal to those close to him... Perhaps too loyal and maybe even servile. He can be very pedantic at times.
age: 169 (Converted to human age he would be 16 going on 17)
Skills\Abilities\elements:
Elements: Life, Death
Fast flight: The Wyvern has a few small advantages over other dragons in terms of flight speed; its weight is decreased owing to the lack of the front set of legs and its wingspan is increased, along with a small change in the wings actual design. This means that Wyverns can actually fly faster than the majority of their more common brethren.
Konahriik is slightly larger and stronger than the average dragon and as such should not be taken lightly in combat
Life drain/restore: A very rare ability among dragons that is widely feared, although it is more common among Wyverns, is the ability to control the life force of themselves and the world around them. Note that life must always buy life; Life force cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. The more greedy Wyverns may attempt to transfer it to themselves, growing to terrifying sizes and becoming extremely powerful. Dragons have a very large amount of life force and most animals very little. A few Wyverns of myth and legend have tainted the image of Wyverns as "energy vampires" that feed off the life force of others, which is partly true. This ability can be used to raise the dead however it does not place the risen under the Wyverns control in anyway. When draining a dragon of its life the target will gradually become weaker and slower and will eventually succumb to the attack and die.
bio: As mentioned earlier, VulViingKonahriik is a wyvern; the treatment of a Wyvern can vary depending on the area; however in the Northern Lands where Konahriik is from Wyverns are seen as cursed and punished for their parents crimes; Many believe that Wyverns exist only to bring misery and death to their 'pure' dragon counterparts (which probably arose from the Wyverns inclination towards the rarer 'elements' of Death and decay) and as such are usually given negative or threatening names. Other believe that Wyverns steal dragon eggs and either eat them or turn the unborn hatchlings into Wyverns. Beliefs in most other areas are similar to this and thus Wyverns face extreme persecution. Few Wyverns survive childhood in the northern lands, greatly reducing their already meek numbers. As genetics are not known and hereditary factors are little understood, most avoid mating with the Wyverns as it is widely thought that mating with a Wyvern will produce another Wyvern.
Konahriik has fled the north in the hopes of escaping persecution for his condition...
family: None who openly acknowledged him except his other who is the only reason he is alive. She is the one who told him to flee south after an incident made the north even more dangerous than it already was for him
weakness:
Due to the design of the Wyvern, notably the absence of the front leg and thus the somewhat awkward adaptation of the wings into legs, they generally move slower over the ground than regular dragons. This also means that crippling a wing impairs him now only in the air but also on the ground. This is only compounded by Konahriiks larger than average size and thus him being more cumbersome on the ground them the average dragon
Mating makes a Wyvern lose control of life force... With females taking much of their partners life force and male Wyverns giving much of their own to their partner, thus making the female stronger, more energetic and even longer lived. This is likely an evolutionary measure to help transmit the trait by ensuring that the female has the strength to carry and birth the child, given how rare mating is for Wyverns This makes male Wyverns like Konahriik weak after mating... And thus makes them easier to capture or kill. As a result, male Wyverns do not engage in mating lightly; they have to trust their partners completely as they are making themselves extremely vulnerable and may become dependent upon their partners protection for a period of time afterwards while they recuperate. Related to this, but not entirely the same, is that when enraged they often begin to drain life energy without realising from their surroundings, which can cause them to hurt their allies and friends.
