Colors and scents mingle in a cacophony of stimulation, banners waving in the wind to advertise the wares of the vendors posted around the town square. Lights hovered in the air, small fireworks that mingled with the cries of delight. A small faire compared to the larger cities but even here one could find some useful spell or trinket.

Koivar moves between the stalls, his blue eyes trailing along the trinkets sitting on the stalls. There's nothing in particular he's seeking, but he's always got an eye out for trinkets he can upsell to his rich patrons. Something to increase vitality, or speed - his fingers brush along a pendant on the table.

"Like what you see? Only three silver!"  The vendor called out, as Koivar thumbed the pendant. It was a cat of silver, with two citrine stones set in the eyes that seemed illuminated from within. "Enhance your eyesight - you'll see all the way across the ocean."

Koivar snorts. More likely it's just a simple charm with an illumination spell cast on it. Besides, his brilliant blue eyes saw far enough, slitted now in the bright midday sun. He sets the charm down. "Maybe another time," he intones flatly, to the disappointment of the vendor. Stepping away from the booth, he travels down the center of the pathway.

He's aware of the eyes on him, though he's not accustomed to it. Even in a world of creatures aplenty Koivar stood out - he towered above most, seven foot two even without counting the horns that sprouted from his forehead. He was mindful of his tail and wings, hooking the latter across his breast so they trailed across the ground like a cape. Sidestepping a figure he spins around and bumps into another, reaching out to catch them should they fall. "Sorry-"

Hello everyone! My name's Bird, and I'm excited to meet everyone and their characters! I've been roleplaying since I was a young teen and I'm not 30 so I've been at this for a long time lol. I've petered off a bit since I've gotten busy with life stuff but I wanted to find a fun, laid back roleplay to join and I liked the vibes of SOTE. :)

Anyway I'm excited to plot! I'm a serial lurker on the discord because i am. very very shy haha.

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.


Magic

Shifting - Koivar can shift between human and dragon form with ease.
Force Magic - To a certain extent, Koivar can command the forces of gravity. He can fling objects across the sky, and affect the weight of objects.
