Drake and Allena

Fallen Elf · August 13th, 2011, 1:04 am

Name: Allister Drake, but he commonly goes by his last name.

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Skills-
Unique skills: Allister's sharp wit and smart tongue give him a very persuasive demeanor. He can talk his way out of many different situations. He has a good memory when it comes to maps which enables him to easily remember the layout of multiple cities. This helps him get around easily. He also is very skilled in fighting hand-to-hand combat and using a dagger.

Magic: After the seal to his power was broken, his full powers were released. While he doesn't have great control over his powers as he is now, his magical power becomes stronger with his emotions. When he found an amulet recently, his magical power increased, and he was able to store mass amounts of energy in the amulet. The amulet specializes in dark magic which Allister has recently began to use if the matter called for it. When he bonded with a dragon, his power, control, and skill in magic grew slightly and will continue to grow as he attempts to make full use of his power.

Whisper of Power: Whenever Drake is angry, he runs off of a voice in his head. This voice in his head tells him the most efficient ways to use his spells and some of the most powerful spells there are. When in this state, he usually destroys everything in his path. When finished, however, he is very tired from using such advanced magic. The voice is actually the amulet telling him what to do.

Hair: Brown, windswept hair.

Eyes: Hard and a pale brown, almost yellow.

Home Village: Marna

Parents: He didn't know who his father was, but his mother is Leona; deceased.

Siblings: Maria; deceased.

Character Personality: Drake, due to growing up mainly on the streets, has a sharp wit and a quick mouth. He is known for talking his way out of situations and is what many would refer to as "street smart". That's not to say that he hasn't read, because he has, but when he was in a gang, he put his street smarts to effect. He has lived a fairly miserable life and has often questioned why, justifying what has happened to him by saying that no one understands him. Actually, very few actually understand Drake. He is quick to act in situations and is sort of a pessimist. While he doesn't always look down on life, he never expects the best out of situations. His hard life has caused him to mature beyond his years, even though he has grown sick and tired of paying for other people. Most of the time he is cold and acts off of what would be the best ultimately. The only person he will trust is his dragon, Allena. He is hesitant to grow close to someone because they might get taken away at a moment's notice. He absolutely despises guards as well. He thinks that he needs to get stronger so that he can protect Allena from suffering a fate similar to the one his mom and sister met.

Character History: Drake has lived what most would mark as a hard life. Ever since he was seven, he had to support his sister and mother due to how poor they were. He usually walks into a city north of his current home and sells whatever he can fish and hunt for food and money. When he was ten, he started running into a gang in the city north of his home about once a month, if not more. He was usually beaten to a pulp and robbed. However, his mother more than likely blamed him for getting into fights, never once showing concern for his well-being.

One day, he was running from the gang and jumped into a river. As he struggled to wade to the other side, an amulet was pulled to him because of the current. Thinking that he could sell it for money, he pocketed it. However, when he got out of the river, a few enemies had been waiting for him on the other side. They cut his purse and looked through his belongings until they came across the amulet. When one of them, eyes hungry with greed, make to grab it, a green light illuminated the dark night. They were all thrown aside like ants, dead, although they had no flesh injuries. Immediately knowing that the amulet was magic, he kept it in case he ran across more gang members.

However, the same thing happened a few weeks later. He was ambushed by several people, and they reached for the amulet that he had purposely positioned at a conspicuous place in his purse. The light flashed, and they were all thrown back, most killed. Guards, however, noticed the light and cornered Drake. When one of the guards recognized the amulet as magic, he immediately reported it to a local magic council in the city, and Drake was now struggling to avoid the guards, wizards, and gangs.

But what he didn't plan on was the gang members bribing the guards with the whereabouts of Drake's home. When Drake arrived at his home the next day, his house was in flames. The stable, house, all of it. Various citizens were working to put it out, but it was too late. When it was finally put out, Drake walked inside to see the charred bodies of his mother and sister. Driven with rage, he walked straight to the city, his hand holding the amulet that he now hung freely around his neck. Something was telling him, whispering in his head.

He wrecked absolute havoc in the city. Guards, fellow wizards, nothing stood a chance in the mayhem he rose. He stormed the dormitory of the magic council and looted all of their treasures. He even found a large dark red stone that didn't shatter under his spells, so he took that too. He killed everyone in his path. All of the anger pent up in his body over the years was being released. At the end of his mayhem, the city was in flames, and he was massively drained. He fled, knowing that there was no where else for him to go.

The next day, he had awaken to the movement of his pack, which had begun to shake violently. Drake frantically removed everything inside until he was facing the stone which shook in his hand. It fell out of his hand and cracks covered the surface of the egg. Fragments shattered into smaller fragments as a creature pulled its way out of the shell. Drake recognized the being almost immediately. He had heard about them in folklore, but had never imagined that he would actually see one. He rubbed its head; directly when doing so he was given a burn on his right palm.

Drake took the hatchling and his pack and continued running until he found a safe enough cave. He has been living in that cave ever since, in the Spine, and killing any animals or people that cross him, afraid of how they would react to his new dragon. It has been a year since then, and now he flies around on his dragon, Allena, to get to places. He loves Allena and treasures their bond.

Weapons:

Concealed Dagger: A combat dagger hidden on his person. He took it from the local magic council in his city, and it has strange engravings on the side. He thinks that a spell has been cast on the dagger to increase the strength of his magic whenever he is holding it.

Amulet: An amulet he wears around his neck. The gem on the amulet has a serpent made out of some rich metal wrapped around it. The amulet is warm to the touch and radiates power. This particular amulet undoubtedly strengthens his magic and allows Drake to work dark magic easily, and it is more unique than any item Drake has and ever will come across. Because it's alive.

Likes: Power, his dragon

Dislikes: Guards, people in general

Weaknesses/Fears: He fears that something will happen to Allena, in which case there will be no one for him to love.

Animal Companions: None

Character Physical Description: Drake stands at about 6'1", and weighs a hundred and forty pounds, nearly all of which is muscle. His body tone is quite lean and he skin complexion is slightly tanned. His brown, windswept hair falls over his eyebrows in the front and a couple of inches past his ears in the back and sides. His pale brown eyes are usually hard and piercing. He is actually quite handsome when he isn't fixing you down with a glare. In cold weather, he'll wear a dark red tunic and matching trousers with a red and black cloak over it. In hot weather, he usually just wears his normal attire except for the cloak.

Alignment: His own

Dragon's Name: Allena

Age: 1 1/2 (Will grow more through Rps)

Gender: Female

Parents: Unknown

History: Allena's egg was taken from the Riders by the magic council nigh over a century ago, but no one has gotten it to hatch for them. When she hatched for Drake, she was immediately taken to a cave. Food and water came easy, but Drake was very reluctant to let her travel due to the danger it could put her in. As she grew older, wiser, and more powerful, his reluctance has only decreased slightly. She is helping her Rider toward his goals, no matter what the cost.

Personality: Allena is very caring and pretty protective over her Rider. If someone snaps at him, she'll snap back even quicker than Drake does, and that says something. She is selfless and wants Drake to live as great a life as he can. She is unperturbed by Drake's quick temper and occasional rampage, and she loves him indefinitely. She is wise like all dragons and frequently offers her intelligence and advice to her Rider. She is content with just living and traveling with her Rider and has very little interest in mates.

Color: A dark red

Physical Appearance: From one look at Allena, one could recognize that she is a natural born fighter. Extremely sharp talons rest on her paws, and her tail is studded with spikes and the end of it can be used to blunt and batter opponents like a mace. Her wingspan is quite large for her age: approximately a hundred and thirty feet. She stands at about forty feet tall and is covered in a dark red color. Her eyes are a piercing hazel.

Armor: None

Dreams for the Future: To help Drake in anything she can and live as best a life as she can with him.

Reasons for Dreams: She is only concerned in Drake's happiness and her own.

Alignment: Drake's.
