Re: Escape from Ironheart

  • Name: Incom "Bakan" Morgan
  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 73 - Looks to be Early 20's
  • Race: Human/Dragon Hybrid
  • Appearance: At first glance, there is nothing to obvious about Bakan to set him apart from others. Standing of slightly under average height, he is well muscled. His hair is jet black that runs to his shoulders, but what sets him apart is his eyes, which are completly blood-red. In addition if one was to see his back, it would appear to be scaled.
  • Primary Class: Warrior - Before the accident, Bakan was known as a great warrior, rarely losing a battle. He was skilled with most weapons, espicially the sword.
  • Secondary Class: Mage - Partly due to his Dragon nature, Bakan gained some aptitude towards some of the magical arts, mostly dealing with fire. However he has avoided using these to much, for fear of attracting attention, and loosing control.
    Abilities:
    • Dragon-Form - When Bakan first saw his newly youthful features, his shock started a reaction, causing scales to grow over his skin, tough enough to reflect some arrows. Wings also started to grow from his back, but where for the most part vestigial, unable to fly without pratice. In addition, Bakan can manipulate fire magic while in this form. However, while in this form, Bakan loses control to his Dragon half, which only wants to kill anything non-dragon, hence he tries to avoid using this form except as a last resort, for there is the chance that if he fully goes through the transformation, he would be unable to take full control back.
    • Fireballs - While in a somewhat transformed Dragonform, Bakan is capable of creature fireballs from his hands, and firing them with great accuracy. The larger/faster/more powerful the fireball, the longer it takes to form.
    • Healing - While in a somewhat transformed Dragonform, Bakan gains the ability to regenerate quickly. However this is taxing, and he typically requires some form of meat, raw or cooked unless he wants to fall unconscious from lack of energy. While in human form, his wounds will heal over the course of a day, unless, from what Bakan assumes, he is struck with a instantly fatal wound.
    • Strength and Speed - In human form, Bakan is stronger and faster than most humans. In dragonform, he keeps the same speed for the most part, but his strength increases expodentially to the amount he transforms/gives control to his dragon half, with his speed increasing only slowely.
  • Background: From his youth, all Bakan wanted to do was learn, maybe raise a garden, and possibly a small family. His gentle nature was shattered when he was drafted into the king's army at a early age. It was here that Bakan first tasted battle, and while he didn't like it, he had a natural skill about him. For many years, throughout various wars, he fought in defence of the king, rising up through the ranks.

    As he aged, Bakan took more of a leadership role, leading a small contingent of the King's army. It was during this time that the King left to fight the elves, leaving Bakan's contingent in defence of one of the outer territories. With the bulk of the King's army away, A Dragon decided it would be a good time to emerge from hiding. Realizing the danger of having a Dragon loose, Bakan set his contingent against it, and for several months, drove it farther from the King's lands, trying to kill it as it struck at the outer farms, burning them and killing the farmers.

    In a final gambit, Bakan called upon the aid of a Mage who had fought the Dragon before, and set up a elaborate trap involving both magic and conventional weapons. The Mage used a forbidden spell, one that was to have banished the Dragon from this plane of existance, but something went wrong. The soldiers that were attacking the Dragon were instantly turned to skeletons, the Mage imploded, and the Dragon and Bakan, merged. Stumbling away, Bakan was shocked to see himself reverted to his original age, and moreso, feeling the presence of the Dragon within himself.

    Finding himself slowely changing, Bakan made his way to the town to try to get help from one of the other Mage's. Along the way, he was stopped by a company of theives, whom when Bakan tried to fight back, he found himself turning into something...... dragonlike, and in the back of his mind, he felt the urge to kill anything that was humanoid. As he stood in the entrails of the theives, Bakan managed to take control, and set off towards the main town, intending to get help for his condition. Upon arriving, he was captured by the Baron, and taken to the labs deep within the new Ironheart prison, where he has been held for many years, a victim to several cruel experiments.
