RPC Name:Hira

Armor/Clothing:

Bio: Hira is a member of a tribe of drome/dragon hybrids known as Drakons. He grew up as a normal tribe member and learned to train his elemental abilities from a young age. His gifts were considered especially strong for one so young and the elders of the tribe sought to bind him to the tribe for good. As he grew older, he grew to yearn for freedom from his often overbearing family who wished to have him mated to the tribe leader's daughter. His chance for freedom came when he found his father poisoning his food with a lust potion. In his rage at his father's betrayal, he attacked and slew him. Seeing what he had done, he broke down and fled the village in tears. His heart broken beyond repair, he fled to the human lands in search of a home. His travels brought him close to the human cities where he saw machines at work. Seeing these beautiful metallic beasts, who by their very nature could not betray him, as his family did caused him to make his new den in one of the warehouses owned by a weapons merchant. Naturally, he was discovered by one of the workers, an old weaponsmith named Zetsu. The old man, taking pity on the young Drakon, took him in. Hira eventually took a job with Zetsu making guns and testing them. Sadly, Zetsu was old and passed into the ether three years after taking Hira in. The Drakon, having little reason to stay in the human city after Zetsu died, left to travel again. However, this time, he left with his mentor's last gift which was a small chunk of living metal. Zetsu had fused his dying soul into this metal allowing it to grow and shape itself according to Hira's will. Hira now travels the globe working both as a machinist and smith as he tries to find a place in the world to call his own.

Powers/Abilities: Elemental control over fire and metal. Hira has limited flight capabilities. He also posses an acute knowledge of weapons and other machines that he gained from his mentor Zetsu. He is able to add his elemental attacks to his weapons allowing them to be either covered in fire or to supply himself with extra ammo if he uses a more complex weapon.

Weapons: Hira wields a staff made of living metal enabling it to change shape on a whim. He also has an affinity for fire and metal elemental attacks which he can either imbue into his weapon or use as an independent "spell".

Companions/Familiars:Hira has two familiars. The first is the living metal containing the soul of his mentor Zetsu. The second is a fire phoenix named Sen. Though Sen is capable of combat he is usually used for transportation as his ability to traverse though flames makes him a valuable ally to the Drakon in his quest to travel the world.

Tattoos/Markings: Two golden ring shaped tattoos, one on his back depicting the Drakon symbol for fire and one on his chest containing the symbol for metal. Both tattoos shine brightly against his scales because of the elemental power infused into them.
