*had a bit of a revamp my apologies to those whom I once played with.*
Name: Kithalya’baendraxinsaressa. You dare use it or know it without her telling you and she'll maul you.... She is Saressa got it?
Age: 36
Weight: 60 - odd yes but then she has to be light to fly *shrugs*-
Height: 8`3
Species: Draconic human
Sex: Female
Sexual Preference: Again you'll have to find out.
Family:
Birth Father: Fyre'ThetasCystLyesfrear - Now deceased.
Birth Mother: Florence: Eaten by her father when Saressa was born. (Those of you familiar with a Florence that was once on this chat, yes this is the same player)
Home: She has acquired her father's old lair, though it has been moved, or at least where the entrances and exits are, usually only water breathing creatures are capable of finding them by accident, often or not suffering as the water turns mostly toxic to breathe after going through. Within the underground caves is a large network of tunnels, each leading off to chambered rooms containing anything from sleeping quarters, dining rooms and workshops, labs and areas long since burnt and scorched by magical experiments. The pattern seems to change each time and a keen sense of smell is needed to even find your way around.
Appearance: Before you stands a rather shapely young woman. If you are the type to actually bother looking away from her chest long enough, you'll see that she has a rather angular face. This blends neatly into a muzzle of black scales. Her lower face and nose being claimed by this oddity though the top of her head is much more human, she has what would be considered normal green eyes and long auburn hair. She has a short fringe however and the ends of the hair look somewhat frazzled
Those of you who are still staring at her chest will notice that she is wearing an odd backless top that loops at the shoulders for support and ties around the waist with an attached belt. Said top varies in colour with the belt looking like a standard belt though closer examination shows it to be attached to the shirt not looped into the trousers. The reason for not having a back to the top is the large draconic wings currently folded but still clearly visible. The wings of the same black colour. The breasts hidden beneath the top are not on the huge side, being no greater then a b or c cup.
Her legs are neatly covered by a pair of loose jeans, of a paler blue colour. There is an obvious hole in the back of them to accommodate her tail. It is about 3 foot long and has a point on its tip which isn't exactly sharp. She declines shoes simply because the talons on her feet would rip through them and she prefers to use them to defend herself anyway. Her hands however are of the normal human variety though black scales can be seen running over the back of her hand. Strapped onto the belt is an ornate short sword in a scabbard. The shape of the sword itself seems simple enough it’s the design etched into the blade itself that makes it so easy to identify to her. The scrawled writing is in draconic and has her father’s true draconic name on one side and hers on the other.
When exposed fully, her scales only really make sense if she is on all fours. Whereupon her underside and inner side ((so she has scales along her arms and legs but only facing outwards when on all fours)) is normal flesh other than her feet and muzzle, the rest of her is covered with scales.
Her other appearance is almost identical, except her scales are jet black to match her fathers, a trick he forced into her and her eyes glow red slightly, enough to be able to see by them in a darkened area.
***************Updates**************
She is now missing her right leg having just a stump where it once was. And walks with the aid of a crutch.
Her right leg was replaced by a rather elegant cybernetic replacement, though she declined having flesh on it as a matter of pride. It looks vaguely like eds leg from FMA for those that know the show, though the lines on it are less blocky.
She no longer has her wings and now bares two rather large scars on her back where they were; they look like the scales around the scars are melted slightly.
She also has a scar across her right eye that reaches her muzzle, which eye may or may not be blinded now.
She is now permanently in the black scaled form, the eye that the scar is across does not glow.
************************************
Personality: I'm not going to try and nail down exactly how she reacts and such here, Since it will be a little dependant on how I'm feeling and what’s happened to her recently, but in general here are her main likes and dislikes for you to get a small picture of what she will be like:
((saressa's views and knowledge of dragons is based around the dnd Draconomicon.... not a dnd player per say but it is an awesome dragon reference.))
History:
Saressa is a child that shouldn't have been. Born to a black dragon and a human, an event rather unlikely and her father had never told her why he had firstly, allowed her mother to live the first time he met her, nor why he killed her mother but kept Saressa alive and sort of raised her. The truth is that Saressa's mother was a student of dragons, steeped in dragon lore she started to seek out these creatures with little fear, knowing how to talk in their language at a basic level and even ways of preventing a dragon from killing you. She had met Saressa's father while he was busy and laying curled up in a bog with a full stomach. As such he didn't snap at her straight away and listened with curiosity at the strange creature who could speak to him properly. he couldn't let her just walk away unharmed however he had his pride at stake so her ravished her as he saw fit and left her to crawl off, mocking her for being naive enough to think she could be on the same level as a dragon.
Saressa'a mother much to her joy and dismay became pregnant, she knew full well a black dragons child would be rather easy pickings for metallic dragons and hatched what was probably an insane plan really, but it worked none the less. She brought Saressa before the great dragon and bound it to protect the girl in exchanged for the life he spared. Having little choice but to agree and cursing the woman's knowledge of dragon's he ate her and took Saressa to be raised as a child of his. He was rather fearful for her safety though he rarely let it show and was almost abusive in how he kept Saressa from being a soft target.
She didn't enjoy the time with her father to say the least, for the first 5 or 6 years of her life her bed was his tongue. As it was the only place warm enough that he could think to keep her. He tried to show her how to eat someone and rather violently tore apart a fox anthro for her to eat. When she rejected the food and started to cry at seeing the fox being torn up he grew even more concerned. He became a little violent towards her. Occasionally breathing acid at her and smacking her into the walls of the cave. She took a few minor injuries from the acid which thankfully healed up as she is very resistant to her own breath attack though her flesh isn't always capable of surviving it as well as her scales. At the rather young age of ten she had decided she had had enough of him and tried to leave him. He refused and kept her trapped in his mouth.
When she was let out he presented her with a sword, a pouch and a few items which he had probably killed someone for. He explained that if she were to leave the cave she would not leave defenceless, he wouldn't allow it. The pouch was enchanted by him to hold about a rooms worth of stuff and to demonstrate he put her entire first set of camping equipment into something no bigger than a fist. She actually said thanks to him that one time and he instructed her that useless half breed though she is she was to return to him once a month and be given a small amount of his horde to look after herself with. She grudgingly accepted it but has secretly been just storing the money away rather than using it.
Thus she started exploring out and about on her own, plodding along on all fours she bumped into an oddly friendly girl called Florence who didn't treat her like something to hate because of what she was. The girl taught her about being a human, well at least some parts anyway and as a result of her Saressa learned to be polite, survive in towns and purchase items instead of just taking what she wanted. With enough skills to survive on they parted ways again. After that Saressa began to live her own life. Camping in the wilds mainly to avoid human contact who treated her with shock and annoyance even when she managed to revert her scales back to orange she was born with. She assumed that peoples hatred of her was for being a half breed and put herself lower on the mental scale.
She makes brief ventures into towns in order to get supplies, usually at the quietest times to avoid stares. She shied away from eating folk to afraid after her fathers little traumatic demonstration and stuck with instant snacks as they were easy to prepare on a campfire. She actually dislikes complicated meals having gotten an acquired taste for such simple things.
Update-
She returned to her father, it was something she had to do, to witness his death and to know he had finally passed on. While there he confessed everything to her, about what actually happened with him and Flo, why he spared her life. Why he treated her as he did. She was shockingly not as angry as she thought she would be, though she refuses to say what happened after that during her fathers death, she came out of that cave bearing a scar across her right eye and part of her muzzle and missing both her wings. She has however returned a changed woman, almost 5 years she spent in solitude within that lair though the time past differently there. Now knowing a considerable amount of death magic and the crafting of magical items. Not to mention she now uses her fathers old lair as her home and has access to everything within it. Including the workshop in which her sword was crafted. She now maintains the interesting little spell that turned the small cave into an entire cavernous network of tunnels and traps to deter invaders and why wouldn't she the horde hidden within would keep her without a want for anything for the rest of her unnaturally long life, nothing compared to a true dragon but more then long enough to watch the lives of a few generations of humans.
She also found out from her father that the woman who taught her to be human was in fact her true mother, who had come back from the dead as is the want of so many in this place. But never visited her or came clean to her. Though she can remember that the woman showed no sign of recognition to her when they met. Apparently neither knew who the other was at the time and now she is unable to seek her out, finding no trace of the woman.
Important*********
Saressa has spent a long time in her fathers cave, in a room her father had given to her where time moved differently, the outside world, maybe a year or so has gone past, for her... Maybe twenty. Unfortunately this had affected her memory.. She has forgotten most of her time adventuring and the people she has met, so please do not be shocked if this half dragon cannot remember you.
***************
Items:
A small pouch with a dragons family crest on the front: A strange gift from her father, not quite a bag of holding but similar in terms of its depth. It holds a lot more then it should but isn't bottomless. It always has a pressed black rose inside. Another gift from him. ((btw if your character knows a LOT and I do mean a LOT about dragon families you will be able to recognize the family. Since her father has slipped into obscurity. )) During the escape she lost the rose. But was given a new one during her fathers death which she now treasures.
Her sword: A short sword with no magical properties, holds great personal value due to the inscriptions of her fathers and her names in draconic. It is normally attached to the back of the belt. The thick leather being cut into and doubling as a sheath. if not then its hidden away in her pouch
Combat information:
Swordsmanship: She has been taking lessons in its use and is now reasonably proficient with the blade.
Physical strength: can do occasional burst of strength but other then that not much stronger than an average human male. So a little stronger then she looks but not entirely weightlifter unless she burns herself out.
Agile: While not graceful she is quick on her feet and can react quickly to slight changes
Being part dragon has given her some natural advantages.
*lost* - Flight: rather obviously she has wings and can fly around. Shes not the fastest or the most graceful but she gets around at least.
Acid breath: As a black dragon descendant she is able to breath out small cones of acidic breath. It is reasonably strong acid and though untested could probably makes its way through a wall in under a minute.
Resistance to element: she is naturally highly resistant to her own element with her scales being Immune and her flesh having a moderate ability to withstand it.
Toughened scales: Her scales act, unsurprisingly like a form of armour, equivalent to that of scale mail, it will, shockingly provide similar protection from harm, but the areas of her body that are scaled will be all but immune to acidic weaponry and damage.
Magic sense: Like the rest of dragon kind she can usually pickup on magical energies when they are being used, though her senses in this matter are a little dulled and wont notice unless someone is pretty close or doing something huge magic wise.
Water breathing: Black dragons tend to live in swampy or bog like areas with entrances hidden in water. As such a natural ability to breathe underwater is found in their kind and Saressa can use this but gets weirded out by it. So it won't happen often unless needed.
Taint water: A bit of a defensive maneuver while sleeping underwater, She can pretty much poison the water for a small area around her sleeping form. Anything drinking this water will suffer varied effects the worst being death.
