Name: Kalamadea; goes by Kalama
Gender: Male, but may appear female sometimes (see race details for description)
Apperance: Kalama is short for a Draconic Shifter. He's six feet tall, but is also far bulkier than most, weighing in at 250 pounds, and is a fiery red color. Also unlike most Shifters, he has horns, but still lacks wings. He has two horns on the back of his head, six on his lower jaw, and two on his elbows. There are two large bone spikes on his back where wings might have grown, making it appear as if wings tried and failed to develop. (see race details for general appearance of shifters)
Age: 200
Race: Draconic Shifter (see next entry)
Race Details: Draconic Shifters are an evolutionary branch of dragons. They evolved from a group of dragons abandoned within the Southern Desert, a hellish region of the world to the south of Termina, on the other side of the Southern Sea, that makes the Gerudo Desert look like a paradise by comparison. They were at the bottom of the food chain, and developed abilities over the course of millions of years to increase chances of survival. They have the ability to shift their shape and size, but this is only useful as a disguise until they get to advanced ability. Because of being constantly on the run from predators, they lost the strength of their evolutionary ancestors, exchanging it for speed and agility. The result was having similar physical limits as humans. They also exchanged the Fire Magic of the dragons for Earth Magic.
Shifters look like humanoid dragons. On average, they are seven feet tall and 250 lbs. They ditched their wings in evolution and also strayed from a draconic appearance, appearing leaner and more like lizards, with a slim and graceful appearance. Think lizalfos (I think that's right; the lizard people from OoT), only bigger. There is also no way to distinguish between male and female shifters beyond looking at their sexual organs, which most don't even bother with considering the organs are internal for both genders. Even so, Shifters themselves can easily differentiate between their males and their females. Much like dragons, they develop much more slowly than the other races, taking 250 years to reach full maturity.
Skills:
He is a beginning shifter, able to shift into things down to half his mass. He hardly ever uses shifting, so he never really got that great at it beyond taking human form to hide from Templars, focusing more on mastering his magic than his shifting (mostly because he's never been to the Southern Desert).
He is proficient with Two-handed Blades, able to swing and maneuver them surprisingly fast, but still not as fast as a longsword or rapier.
Magic Abilites: Kalama is an expert fire mage and is currently experimenting with solid fire.
Weapons: Broadsword, fire rod, and claws
Inventory:

Bio: Kalama was born in Hyrule, but his parents were slaughtered by a dragon at an early age. An exiled Shifter found him, and took him into his Kakariko home. A talent for Fire Magic, which is rare among Shifters, who usually have an affinity for Earth Magic, revealed itself when he was just beginning to fly when he was five years old. His adopted father, who was an Earth Mage, was unable to train Kalama in Fire Magic. Unfortunately, his foster father was lynched by a group of human criminals when he was 15. It was then that he escaped to Castle Town. When he was able to shift at age 16, he sought training in Fire Magic, but found none. So he improved it himself, and mastered it when he was 150 years old.
He faces the hate directed towards dragons due to his draconic appearance. Having vowed not to harm innocents, all he can do is take the insults. He is determined to prove that he's not a monster, but is having trouble with it. The evil dragons are a much hated race, and he knows it firsthand. After all, he has an intense hatred for dragons himself due to the fact that a dragon mercilessly slaughtered his parents and nearly killed him.
His disposition is unique among Draconic Shifters. Most tend to be arrogant, thinking their race is superior to all others, yet they spend entire lifetimes in isolation due to fear of the other races. Kalama is not this hypocritical, and is quite open to other races. He actually enjoys befriending members of other races more so than his fellow Shifters. He is very friendly, and will never abandon his friends, even if it kills him. However, he is easily bored, and gets a bit annoying when that happens. However, with the quest against the Templars in full swing, he has matured greatly throughout its course, gaining a cooler disposition compared to when he started.
As for his opinion on the Templars, he hates them with a passion. Not only did they set the dragon on his parents, they also murdered his foster father by burning him at the stake, calling him a "demon damned to hell". He could only watch, shifted into Templar form, as the torch was set to the one person that truly cared for him. It was all Kalama could do to lose focus and, subsequently, shift as he grew enraged at these men who follow a stupid religion that defiles the Sages in the name of a false god that doesn't even exist. It wasn't like the Goddess worship, where there was solid proof of the existence of the Goddesses in the form of the Triforce. The Sages are further proof, yet the Templars choose to follow a religion where they have no proof that their "god" exists. These are his views on the religion of the Templars, and he stands by them no matter how threatened he is. He is stubborn when it comes to religion, and anyone who spends a decent amount of time with him would know that. However, his foster father was not the last of his Shifter loved ones to die at the hands of the Templars. He'd befriended many Shifters, and all were burned at the stake by Templars, making him hate them more and more until that hate exceeded even that of the dragons. He hates them so much that he will attack any on sight, often killing them.
While running from Templars in the Lost Woods, he encountered a group of people that said they were fighting the Templars, and he offered to help them. With them, he assisted in saving the Forest Sage in the Temple of Forest, aided in saving the Gerudo pirates from a Templar invasion, and stood against trials in the Arbiter's Grounds. He now travels with them to Ikana for the next leg of their journey.
