BASIC INFORMATION

Full name: Zenith
Gender: Male
Age: Ancient
Race: Demonic Dragon
Residence: Essyrn


PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Human Form
Height: 7' 5"
Weight: 347 lbs

Calling this his human form is really pushing the definition of what can or cannot be described as "human". Zenith does not have a true human form, nor would he want one. Humans are weak, pathetic creatures, after all. Why would he truly take the form of such an inferior being? He wouldn't.

Therefore his humanoid form is massive and stands out, as it should. Let us work our way up from the bottom, shall we? Zenith doesn't have anything resembling human feet. His legs are digitigrade, the feet have four toes tipped in deadly claws, with a fifth talon on the back of the ankle joint. His lower legs are completely sheathed in his glorious, inky black scales, truly draconic. Starting just above his knees his scales begin blending into dark chocolate skin on his inner thighs, with the scales trailing all the way up his outer legs, over his hips and fading as they go up his sides.

Scales are completely absent around the groin, continuing up his chiseled abdomen. His hands, while human-esque in shape, are otherwise wholly inhuman. Short, but very sharp claws tip his five long, scaled fingers. Powerful forearms are almost completely covered in scales, but blend into more dark skin as you travel up the arm.

Broad, muscular shoulders have smatterings of scales that trail all around his back, especially close to his wings and tail, which are both much the same in appearance as when in his dragon form. Except on a much, much smaller scale, of course.

Once you reach the face, you'll find that scales trail lightly across his cheekbones, disjointed and not complete, but his features are powerful and attractive. His brow his heavy and ridged, lacking actual eyebrows, he has three very short, thick horn nubs over each eye instead. Two thick, ridged onyx horns dominate his head in place of hair; they are easily a foot and a half long as they begin by sloping backwards before curving and angling sharply forward again.

All over his dark skin are bright crimson lines swirling in beautiful designs, which sometimes glow when he is using his magic.


Dragon Form
Height: 40ft
Length: 75ft

In his dragon form Zenith is truly a monster. Not only is his size massive, his bulk muscular, but his scales are like polished onyx, save his underbelly and wing membranes, which are a burning crimson. Quite literally, his red scales will often glow with his inner fire.

Massive horns and spikes crown his head and line down his back, black as the abyss save for veins of crimson pulsing lightly. His wingspan is easily twice his length, his tail makes up over a third of his body length, and the appendage is broad and powerful. A bulbous and spiked club marks the tip, serving as a deadly natural weapon.




PERSONALITY

Zenith is vicious and cruel. He delights in brining pain to others and causing chaos in general. His destructive nature cannot be quelled with anything short of violence. The demonic creature feeds off of it, revels in it.

Dragons are superior beings and him more than most. To say he was egotistical and narcissistic would be putting it mildly. There is nothing in any world or dimension that Zenith loves more than himself and he loves lording over others, pushing, beating, or manipulating them into submission. Failing that of course he enjoys simply stealing their souls and commanding their obedience.



SKILLS & MAGIC

Zenith radiates power, both physically and magically. He's almost like an embodiment of barely restrained violence. With the physical prowess of a dragon matched with the magical potential as well it makes him a very, very dangerous creature.

He wields no weapons, but hardly needs them when his body is weapon enough. There is also that Zenith commands very powerful shadow and fire magic. No, he needs no weapons other than those which he naturally possesses.

Finally he can consume the souls of his victims to make himself even more powerful. Every soul he takes is sent to his fortress in the death realm where it will serve him forever against its will.




BACKSTORY

Zenith has a rather warped concept of time. His youngest years are a foggy, yet glorious, swamp of blood and chaos. When one is both demon and dragon, well...let us say "eat or be eaten" was one of his earliest life philosophies.

Each year saw him more violent, more twisted, larger, and most importantly – more powerful. His ability to consume the souls of his victims was a tremendous boon in rapidly expanding his power and influence in the hellish world in which he lived. Those souls he consumed are forced to serve him for eternity, but outside of his own hell they are difficult to manifest in a meaningful way.

Several hundred years ago Zenith engaged in an all-out war with another powerful demonic entity. The battle was vicious, brutal, and long. Just when it seemed that Zenith's victory was all but complete, his arrogance became his downfall.

A trap was set, and sprung.

Zenith's defeat was instantaneous and humiliating. His rival placed powerful magic upon him, forcing him to remain a prisoner, sealed in his own fortress for all time where he could never again challenge his foe. The only way to escape his prison is to submit to a master with a contract of servitude.

He's had many masters. His service is given, begrudgingly and with resentment so that he might at least move through the mortal world in some capacity.
