History

Koivar was born in the country of Adela, deep within the mountains, his clutch incubated in the deep magma chambers. His specific clan often worked with the warriors of Adela, selecting those most brave and deserving to be chosen as the dragon riders. Koivar had been set up to become a mount himself, bonded with a warrior, when he came across an ancient magic - that let him assume a humanoid form and walk amongst the humans. The military saw him fit for a more special role, outfitting him as the liaison between the dragons of his clans and his humans, joining the military as a lone warrior, fit as both the calvary of the sky and the infantry of the foot.

Now, he travels the continents, offering his services as a combat instructor. He's trained in the weapon arts of many human armaments, though he personally prefers his body when fighting.

Physical Description

As his dragon form is inconvenient in spaces designed for the smaller races he often takes a humanoid form, ideal for communing with others in towns and villages. Still, he stands at a grand seven feet and two inches, imposing even when he tries to meet others on their level. His waist-length, diluted lime colored hair is intricately braided every morning, woven with jewels and gold that he'd received as offerings. His goldenrod skin shifts into a deeper maroon at his forearms and calves, tapering to sharp claws at the end of each appendage. From his throat to his core runs a vein of lighter cornsilk yellow. All across his body he's dappled with iridescent scales, reminiscent of fish. His eyes burn like fire. Ridges run along his nose and brow, leading into the protruding quadrant of horns that arc elegantly above his head. At his shoulder blades, two wings curve from his back, the 'thumbs' often hooked in front of his body as though a cape. As a nod to human sensibilities he adorns himself in a soft cotton weave of blue, simple in design, though draped over his body in flowing bolts of fabric. The base of his spine continues in a long tail that hovers just above the ground, ending in a bulk that looks much like a flail.

As a dragon, he stands significantly taller. Towering at a full four stories, he can be quite intimidating to those smaller races. His coloring is like that of his human form, with a pale green mane that flows down his elegantly long neck. His scales are like those of a fish, iridescent and flashing in the light.

Personality

Koivar suffers no fools. Often he seems humorless, but he simply has no tolerance for playing games. He's direct to the point of rudeness at times. All that aside, however, he's fiercely loyal. He holds a deep loyalty to his clan and those he bonds with, though he can seem standoffish to those he doesn't quite know yet. He's an astute warrior but not much of a diplomat, and prefers not to speak than confirm someone thinking him a fool.
