Aegis+Savaitos

**Aegis Savaitos**

 * Paladin of Vellora, Son of **Saphyreth****


 * Physical Description** -

Race: Half Malkadian Draconian

Age: Appears 32 in equivalent human years.

Height/Weight: 9' 8"

Hair: Dark black, very long, usually in a high-tied ponytail or left down, ala Sephiroth (only black instead of grey)

Eyes: grey / light blue, turns to deeper red with anger and releasing his draconic heritage

Skin/Marks/Other: Usually appears to be a dark skinned human, with his draconic side under a tight control. He unwittingly loses that control around areas that exude an aura of death, such as Graveyards, Cemetaries, Crypts, and Office buildings.

Clothes/Armor: Normal attire is a black platemail suit with a golden runic holy symbol of Vellora on it. When glamered, the suit appears to be a very nice, clean cut merchant's attire, the equivalent of a black suit with white tie. When in his more human appearance, his armor's gauntlets glamer to become nice cloth gloves, hiding his claw-like fingers. He is very cautious about his appearance, and tries to maintain a human look whenever possible. He's just alot bigger than the average human, and when asked, he will not lie and instead give the exact and honest truth, "Through my veins runs the blood of dark dragons. Try not to upset that which you don't understand."

Weapons: Wields a mythical blade, named Vellora's Swiftgrace, granted to him by a high priest of Vellora many hundreds of years ago. The nearly ebony blade is just over eight feet long, and has a golden runic inscription along the blade. It reads, "There is but one release. Pray that yours is swift." The sword weighs 70 pounds.

Items: Not one for "collecting" things, he keeps his belongings simple. Always has enough food on him for a months travel, and keeps a journal with writing utensil.


 * Personality -**

Attitude: Cool headed and calm, carries himself with a nearly perfect posture. Believes that etiquette and manners mean the difference between himself and a simple warrior.

Abilities: Innate ability to kick ass and take names.

Talents: Very talented at kicking ass. Is also very well versed in Religion and Politics.

Likes: A quiet evening in front of the fireplace with a good book. Generally prefers to read in Draconic when at all possible.

Dislikes: Idiots, clowns, and fools who are quick to anger.

Habits: Obsessively minds his manners. Is almost always polite to strangers, but only smirks and never smiles. Smiling reveals his fangs.

Strengths: Can crush small buildings and knockdown walls if necessary.

Weaknesses: Tends to debate with himself before fighting a living adversary, which makes him appear hesitant. He generally does not deal out death's release lightly, and is known for showing mercy even when his adversary deserves it the least.

Philosophy/Quote:


 * Background -**

Nationality: Dark dragon, born before most of the current nations were formed.

Raised: Raised to be the warrior heir to a great family, but was cursed upon by his full dragon father, who found his half-blood son a weakness to his family's political power. Aegis's full dragon father was (still is?) the epitome of evil in the world, and Aegis was raised by his mother's fighting trainer, who was much less evil. One day things came to a violent end, when Aegis's father realized that his half-blood son could be a standing match to his power, and sent a legion of troops to 'dispose' of him. After slaughtering through nearly the entire legion, Aegis realized that the men he was killing were his friends and allies. He took the fight directly to his father, and the two battled for hours. The father was victorious, and sent the corpse of his son falling into a great abyss in the earth, one which not even dragons have returned from.

Family: No direct family that currently lives, but he can trace the lineage of his mother's descendants to various places around the world.

 * Story:**

For a backup character, Aegis Savaitos (directly translated from greek means shield of death)

Half Malkadian draconian killed by his father in some horribly wicked form, to be brought back by Vellora as a paladin who's mission is to redeem himself for the evils of his heritage. And revenge. Revenge is cool too.

Other than that, he'd be a wicked cool huge badass with like the Giantblooded or Juggernaut path... a freakin huge sword, and enough pissed off angst to end some shit. His aims and alignment would be chaotic good, ya know, fightin evil in the name of redemption, and honestly, we both know that death isn't necessarily evil. There are a couple "alternate" paladin classes that could fit him better than the straight up old school "holier than thou" thing. Like Paladin of Wrath or Paladin of Tyranny... or some such.

Anyways. long live Kirin, or you get to put up with my other dementedly twisted horrors.
