Background:
Draken remembers little of his childhood before Skyridge. In fact, his first memory lies in the streets of the lowest level of the city, and is filled with hunger. Weeks crawled by as Draken lived life on the streets before a man named Akaash offered him shelter. He too was an elemental, though he was an Oread rather than an Ifrit like Draken. Most residents, members of the Line guard, and Wandering Cloudseeker’s gave them both a wide berth as the two half elemental's walked to Akaash’s home, though some seemed fascinated by the fire-like hair that Draken had. It also may have been the two small bone like protrusions on the side of Draken’s head, horns that had yet to truly grow. While he was thankful towards Akaash, he never forgot the hunger and loneliness of the past and he craved both food and companionship more and more as the years past. Not Knowing when he was born exactly, Akaash declared that Draken’s birthday would be the same day of the year as the day he was found. While he only looked like he was in his early teens, Akaash explained to him how elemental's aged, and why everyone else always seemed to age so much quicker. As it turned out, while he looked around the same age as an eleven year old human to everyone, he was actually a lot older. As Draken turned 44, Akaash introduced Draken to Elijah, Glinton, Fili the only dwarf in the group, and Jared the newest member of Akaash’s mercenary group, The Shadows Brigade. Watching their free hearted camaraderie, Draken realized they were as close to a true family as any could get without blood, and set his sights on joining this Mercenary group. Within days his personal training regimen began, he even got Akaash to help him train with various weapons. Over sixteen years he trained before being allowed to join The Shadows Brigade, and through that time, he began favoring the adrenaline rage of power he sometimes experienced when in battle. He also favored a great sword that was gifted to him by the group of six, for the mercenary band had gained a sixth member, Faunra. Because of his age, and the fact that she was the only girl he really knew that aged similarly to him, he shamelessly flirted with Fuanra, who surprisingly flirted right back. Over the next fifteen years bonds grew between the group of seven mercenaries. Though most of the jobs the group did for money involved being escorts for caravans, they had gained a reputation for success. The Shadows Brigade was one of the few Mercenary groups in Skyridge that could boast about how rarely they failed one of their jobs. On one occasion, they were even contracted to slay a Large beast that had been harassing the base of the mountain. Needless to say, the creature was quickly and efficiently dealt with. The battle rage that Draken had known in training had only grown in the midst of true fights-to-the-death, though Draken never truly lost his sanity he always became fatigued later on. In fact his blood almost seemed to boil whenever he was engulfed by his fury. A few magical abilities seemed to manifest through the years, though from what he knew about his kind from Akaash, most half elementals were known for being magically adept with their element. Before the end of the fifteenth year Akaash left on a mission outside the city. This was surprising for it was rare for only one member of The Shadows Brigade to be contracted. While Draken and everyone else waited for Akash to return, blood was spilt among the mercenary group. A group of five cloaked figures came in the night, as everyone was supposed to be sleeping. One of the five cloaked strangers found both Faunra and Draken together, and was quickly eliminated. The other mercenaries were not as lucky. During the fight with the other four assassins, Faunra was slain, which sent Draken into the deepest blood fury he had ever experienced. As he came to, with his great sword in hand, he looked over the carnage and wept. The Line guard arrived at the door minutes later, and with the presence of the five cloaked bodies, and the fact that Draken’s mercenary group had had contracts with the Sky Knights in the past, Draken was not kept as a suspect. No matter how much he asked the line guard what they knew, they would not give him any information. Now nearly a year later, Draken is trying to join the line guard to try and find out what they know from the inside, for his sources say that the one who sent the assassins is still in the city. No word has come from Akaash, nor has he been seen either. Whether or not Akaash is still alive is something Draken cannot say, he can only assume that he was killed as well. Vengeance would be had, if Draken had anything to say. Whoever hired the Assassins may have bled out The Shadows Brigade, but they raised a Demon in it’s wake… Extra 10 min creation:
-Draken is Hot headed, no pun intended.
Goals - Find the one responsible for the death of his one ‘Family’ and show him the same mercy.
Secrets - His mercenary group was hunted down, and rightfully exterminated before his eyes. All except for him, … and one other that he does not know about.

Had started a relationship with Draken. -Jared Ironhammer- blacksmith, Fighter human Tactiction. Partnered on frontlines with Draken. -Glinton – half elf ranger Prankster, jovial flirt. -Akaash Winstrum– Oread monk is alive.

He is alive, because he left before the massacre. -Phili Brewbane– dwarf Skald … need I say more…. He befriend the fudge out of you with song… and drinks. was also up standing and never approved of doing anything that wronged people of their money. Quirk and flaws.

Physical Features spoiler:
Within the pale white room, rested a pool of ashes three humans, two elementals, an elf and a dwarf. The ashes glowed with a iridescent orange as a strange wind blew through the room. As ashes start to drift off across the pale, bland room, an arm shoots out of the ashes and claws at the floor. Dark grey scales, seemingly edged in molten gold, cover the back of the hand and arm. Bronze skin along the arm bunches as the arm flexes as if from immense effort. Horns burst out of the ashes, along with a head and shoulders. Ribbons of fire-like hair wreathe the head behind the horns; horns plated on top with scales similar to those on the arms, and ribbed on the bottom, reaching out in front of the head for almost a foot long. Pointed ears ,and a face almost as fair as an elf's, rests beneath these same horns. within seconds the rest of the figure emerges from the ashes. Aside from the matching scales running down the front of the legs, the rest of the body resembles that of a human with bronze skin, encased in leather armor, and a chain shirt. Standing up to his full height, the Half fire elemental cracks it's neck once, Twice, before opening its molten eyes. "Greetings...." Grumbles Draken as he scans the room. All six of the marked, Golden, miniature, dart sized obelisks hanging from Draken's ears collide with each other and create a metallic clang that echoes through the room. Secret spoiler:
Secret: What Draken does not remember is the fact that he did not always live in skyridge. He was about 40 at the time he woke up on the streets of skyridge. The hint at his heritage comes from his face… and possibly his pointed ears. If you had not guessed, Draken’s mother's family was elven. Unfortunately, elves generally have high standards of beauty and some have specific ideal forms of beauty. Groups of elves may worship elemental's as the highest form of beauty, while other groups consider aspects of animals (i.e. eyes of an eagle, or the fur of a fox) and nature as the most ideal forms of beauty. Some elven groups even consider themselves the epitome of beauty and grace. Whatever form their ideal beauty takes, anything that does not represent this ideal is usually viewed as unpleasing, ugly, unsightly, or even Tainted Beyond Blood. Draken’s family by blood considered the elven race as their ideal beauty, and at first Draken looked like a bronzed baby elf with fiery red tufts of hair. Though the mother knew of his elemental blood, for who forgets sleeping with a being of fire, he looked close enough to an elf that she tentatively decided to keep him. However, Draken quickly started to grow faster than the other elven children. As he got closer to the age of 35 years old, charcoal scales started growing along his arms, and legs, and bone-like protrusions appeared at his temples. As these examples of his elemental ancestry began to grow over the years, the last straw came when he started being able to conjure, play with actual fire, and not get burned. The mother had finally come to view her child as Tainted and was ashamed of the child’s blood tie with her. Custom would normally have her kill the child, but she had raised it for around forty years and could not bring herself to kill the child in cold blood no matter what customs dictated. Wiping most of the child’s memories with magic, she spirited Draken out of her homeland in the dead of night. Traveling weeks if not months away to leave the child in a town far from her, and her shame. Personality Spoiler:
-Draken is Hot headed, no pun intended.
