His tail is a weapon in its own right, as it has ridges that open and close, opened, they are sharp as razors, and allow him to whip his tail around. His eyesight is superior as well, allowing him to see far away if needed. He knows the human language, Draconic, and Drow. He has no real magic abilities other then the one spell, which he uses to hide his true form from humans. As he does have gills, he can swim underwater for indefinite amounts of times.

Bio: Long ago, further back then Rohan can remember, his family was quite normal, living happily. He and his twin sister grew up, never knowing that the man they called father wasn't their true father. As time went on, they both became smarter, stronger and better then all their peers. Many grew jealous. One day, Rohan was working with one of the neighbors and his hand got cleaved. Instead of his hand being disabled, it started to heal, but the problem was where he was cut, bright scaled grew. They felt normal to him, but the neighbor ran and told the villagers. As they came to question his parents, it was revealed that him and his sister's true father was a Green Dragon. The village, having decided, to kill Rohan, with a weapon that a traveler gave them for slaying Dragons. Rohan's father was the one to carry out the deed. As Rohan resigned his fate, his father started laughing evilly, and talking of how he would use this weapon to kill Shanra, only after he had his fun with her. As this enraged Rohan, who broke the bonds tying him, his step-father brought the axe down upon his head. Suddenly, the axe started glowing, runes appearing on the shaft and blades as Rohan stood up. He roared loudly, his step father dropping the axe. As Rohan picked it up, he looked at his father. “Worthless humans..I will never let you have my sister.” He says as he gave into his draconic blood. As it coursed threw his body , it changed him, scales growing all over his body as a tail whipped out. A pair of horns grew as well as his eyes became blood red. His scales shined in the light as he moved after his father, suddenly having amazing speed. His close was ripped and torn now as he stood their in front of his step father, holding the axe. “Good bye..” he says as he suddenly summoned fire breath, breathing it on his step-father, burning him to ash. He took the weapon and headed back to town, holding it close. By studying it, he could tell that it reacted with his draconic blood in his body, meaning that if he used it reversely on his sister, he could take her draconic powers away. He entered his home, his claws clacking on the floors as he entered his sister's room. As she slept, he held the weapon up and pulled all but the tiniest sliver of her draconic half out of her. He then went to the village elder and explained what he had done. The elder, who had always been kind and fair, agreed that if Rohan left the village, that the village would take care of his mother and sister. Rohan slipped the axe on his back and started to walk out of the village with torn clothes on his back. Rohan's mother ran out with Shanra, who now had one red eye, and gave him some gloves and a cape to wear over his body. The both hugged him, which surprised Rohan, as he now seen himself resembling a demon. As he left the village, a man appeared in front of him.

Rohan's father, as he claimed he was the one who gave the weapon to village, not to protect it from dragons, but to protect his children from the village. As his father explained, the weapon was able to control their draconian abilities, but he never thought his son would save his sister by pulling out her draconian heritage. His father took him away and trained him to control all the aspects of draconian heritage. He learned to control his strength, speed, the extension of his claws and fangs, how to control his fire breath, and also learned that he had acid breath. His body could not revert to normal human, since he took the heritage of his sister into him. He learned to fight with his axe, and also how to activate the spines on his tail, to make it like a razor whip. He naturally has claws from his hands and feet, as well as a set of gills on his cheeks that allows him to breathe underwater with ease. Finally, after learning all of his abilities all he could, his father taught him some basic magic, as well as simple disguise spells that let people see him as a normal human. The spell breaks when he fights, but some higher people with magic are able to see him in his true form.

Appearance: He stands a little over 7 feet tall, his horns towering above him. His eyes are blood red with small crosses in them where his pupil should be. He only wears a pair of combat pants, which are ragged at the bottoms. He wears a pair of anklets and armbands, that he kept from his days from being human. He still wears the cloak his mother and sister gave to him when he left, it is held together by a small chain that runs across his chest. He carries his large double sided axe, which resembles a crescent moon. The shaft of the axe has mystic runes drawn into it, which makes it stronger then normal material. His strength allows him to wield this axe one handed, and use it efficiently. He has short messy brown hair. He has a tail matches his scales, along the top of it, it has ridges that when he opens them, become razor sharp, allowing a natural weapon and defense. On his cheeks there are two slanted lines that go down his cheeks (on both sides) that are gills, that work when he is in the water. Coming from his head, he has two large horns.

Human Appearance, he still a massive 7 feet tall. His body is well built. He wears the cloak, the armbands and the anklets. He wears loose fitting combat pant, that are ragged at the bottom. He has brilliant red eyes. He has short, brown, messy hair. He wears his axe on his back. This form, is magical illusion, and as such, powerful magic users won't see this, but instead his true form which is above.

Pets: A little lesser dragon that goes by, Siv, wanders with him. They often speak together in Draconic, which leaves others clueless. Though he is somewhat intelligent, he is no smarter then Rohan. Him and Rohan often argue and but heads. Not so much a pet, but instead a traveling companion. He is small, and as such is often used as a scout or help Rohan out of hard places.
