Appearance: Talon is a bipedal dragon with red scales. He is bulky and muscular, but has a powerful set of wings that allows him to fly with ease, as well as two large spikes protruding from his back and a long, powerful tail. Occasionally, he will wear a black cloak made of a fibrous plant that grows in Nezgar which completely conceals his face and body.
Skills: Royal Assassin - Talon has been trained in the ancient art of Nezgarian assassination, a two-sword style with highly calculated strikes and defenses. The goal of the art is to strike vital organs. As such, part of the training involves learning the anatomy of various types of life forms.
Tail Combat - As a supplement to his standard assassin training, Talon has learned to use his tail as a deadly weapon. It is effectively another limb, able to grab, strike, and wield a blade. Talon cannot support his full body weight on his tail, but he
canlift a human.
Brutal Grappling - Talon has trained his claws and jaws beyond that of the average Nezgarian. He can grind stones to dust in his mouth, and crumple them to bits in his hands. Bones and living tissue that are caught in either of those can be shattered without any form of complex hold. All but the thickest metal plating will bend under his grip. To complement his brutal grip, he also knows a number of deadly ways of tossing his opponent to cause further damage when he chooses to let go.
Aerial Acrobatics - Despite his large size, Talon is fast, agile, and deadly in the air. His wings are strong enough to lift him with ease in an instant. He can accelerate rapidly, make hairpin turns, stop on a dime, and perform all manner of maneuvers. He can also use his fighting techniques effectively from any of these positions. The max speed he can achieve is 70 mph.
Dirty Fighting - Talon knows no honor in combat, though he knows many dirty tricks. He is adept at using improvised weaponry, including dirt and rocks if need be, and knows the proper pressure points of various species to bit and claw at in a pinch. He's a marksman with his spit, and has plenty of experience aiming objects at eyes and groins. False surrenders, duplicitous truces, and deceptive handshakes are not beneath him. He also has a very hard head and knows how to butt with it.
Goading the Enemy - Talon has an arsenal of generic insults at his disposal, and unleashes them with the same precision as his blades to piss off his opponent. If given any information about his opponent, those insults become personal; the more nerves his strikes, the better.
Powers: Nezgarian Physiology - Nezgarians are a race of dragons that have such high fire resistance that they can swim through magma with ease. They have highly acidic blood, which damages most blades once they are struck, and dissolves most substances that are toxic to those with mammalian physiology. They are also incredibly strong, able to hoist boulders over their heads and toss them. Likewise, they are highly durable, able to withstand the equivalent of a volcanic blast with only minor scratches. Finally, all Nezgarians have the ability to breathe fire and spit acid.
Riftmaking - Talon has access to a personal pocket dimension, where he stores books, materials, hostages, whatever he feels like. At will, Talon can reach into the pocket dimension and pull out what he needs. Likewise he can store any object he gains possession of in his pocket dimension (A person must be incapacitated for him to store that). Objects stored in the pocket dimension cannot interact with other objects in that dimension unless he wishes them to.
Necromancy - One of the many dark arts that Talon has learned is necromancy. He can resurrect a corpse and control it as a cadaver puppet. He can also conjure and communicate with spirits. He often uses his necromancy as a form of blackmail, offering to revive loved ones in exchange for some heinous service, or simply as a distraction.
Soul Bind - The cruelest aspect of Talon's necromancy. When he kills a victim, he binds their soul to him, and forces them to relive the moment of their death over and over again in their mind. As such, their hatred for him builds and builds...
Channeling Hatred - Talon can convert the emotional energy of his victims' hatred into magical energy. He has hundreds of souls currently bound to his own, giving him a massive well of energy to draw from. The limit is not so much what his victims can produce, as it is how much Talon's body can handle. When channeling a small amount of energy, Talon emits an aura of pure dread. Larger amounts of energy take the form of red lightening crackling about his body. He can then launch a bolt of this lightening, which scorches mind, body, and soul alike. The victim's flesh is singed as with normal electricity, their mind is assaulted with images of the carnage that Talon has caused, and their soul is assaulted with a feeling of utter despair. While using this technique, Talon is flooded with a feeling of euphoria, however, excessive use can plunge him into complete insanity and will render him completely exhausted.
Magma Burst - Talon can summon a column of magma to erupt from the ground, anywhere from within a 50 foot radius of himself. He can cause the eruption from the air, but it can only erupt out of solid ground. The ground can be granular like sand, but cannot be liquid; the ground needn't be connected to a planet or its core, it need only be solid. The columns are 6 feet in diameter and can reach a maximum height of 50 feet. He can summon a maximum of 3 columns at once, and can engulf himself without causing any harm to his body.
Acid Mist - Talon can manipulate his acid spit to surround himself in a acid mist. The mist slowly corrodes metal and eats away flesh. The maximum area of the mist is a 20 ft. radius.
Boneblade Detonation - Talon can detonate his boneblades at will (see boneblades below). The detonation can be so small it merely breaks a piece of the blade off, or it be a full-fledged explosion. Talon can detonate pieces of the blades even after they are shattered so long as a piece of it remains. The maximum explosion of a full boneblade is equal to ten sticks of dynamite.
Weapons/Equipment: Boneblades - The two spikes on a Nezgarian's back can be drawn and used as a sword. They are single-edged curved blades, are 4 ft long, and are used with one hand. Due to the Nezgarian's quicksilver-rich diet, the blades are even stronger than steel. They also carry significantly more mass than a steel blade, but Talon's strength lets him wield them with all the finesse of a rapier. After removing a boneblade, Talon can expend a bit of energy to have it quickly regrow, effectively making his body a natural armory. If he is too tired or injured to regrow them, he keeps a dozen spares in his pocket dimension.
Claws and Teeth - Talon's claws are powerful enough to tear through chain mail, and his teeth and claws are both durable enough to withstand being ground against stone.
Demon Hornets - In Nezgar, there is a species of hornets that lays its eggs in blood. Talon keeps six vials of such blood in his pocket dimension. Each vial contains 200 eggs. Talon can use his magic to force the eggs to hatch and instantly mature into a hyper-aggressive adult that will sting its target for 10 seconds straight, and then die. The venom is much like that of the
bald faced hornet. The blood can be exposed to the air for one minute before the eggs die.
Spare Bodies - At any given time, Talon keeps 20 dead in his pocket dimension for him to drag out and reanimate as he needs. when animated, the cadavers are slow, shambling zombies. They can perform basic menial tasks, or can claw and bite at a victim. They are not powerful by any measure of the word, but can provide a critical distraction.
Random Gore - Talon keeps a huge pile of random organs, some rotting, some fresh, in his pocket dimension. Sometimes he just wants a snack. Sometimes he'll toss a liver into a crowd for the lolz.
Bio: Talon was appointed as one of Bladewing's generals after Bladewing's coup. He had always had a liking for the arcane, but dabbling in the black arts drove him half-mad. As if addicted to some kind of drug, Talon craves destruction. So, Bladewing ordered him to the Miluran mainland to do what he loves to do.
