Appearance: Val is 6' 2" and weighs 198 pounds. She has green scales over most of her body, but the parts that normally do show as skin are very pale, about the same tone as a Caucasian human. She has red hair down to her neck and amber eyes, and long, elven looking ears with scales on them, with spikes coming down from them connected by flesh that is much like bat wings. Her legs are ended with feet much like that of a Wyvern, what would be equivalent to lizard feet but larger, with toes ended with talons. She wears heavy armor crafted by her clan that fits her physiology much better than anything another faction would have, made out of fine steel attached by high quality leather straps. She also wears a purple cloak lined by gold embroidery, which she was awarded to her for excellent performance in a combat training exercise. The tattoo she has on her face extends down to her bicep, and has a few different meanings. The part that is on her face is a clan mark, showing she serves her lord Caerfarn, and the part on her shoulder designates her as part of the warrior caste of her clan. The tattoo also an be added on to by her tribe if she finishes especially difficult assignments or shows other feats of strength or bravery.

Personality: Val is a very proud and noble soul, much like the ideal of the knights of Europe. She will accept any challenge from an equal, will fight and die for her liege, and will lay down her life for her fellow dragonkin without a second thought. However, that does not mean she does not have any flaws, as she is quick to anger, taking any insult to her or her liege's honor extremely seriously, even if it was made in jest. She also has the bad habit of underestimating her opponents at times, especially if they are human, since she views them as weak beings by nature, and incapable of fighting on her level, which will come back to bite her in the ass. She has a very dim view of Daemons, as alhough they are not the loathesome foreign demons, they tend to be associated together in her mind, giving her a bad first impression of any Daemon she meets. This is not to say that she will not re-evaluate a person if she is proven wrong, however, as if a person can prove themselves worthy of her respect, she will acknowledge it, and treat them accordingly. As for the other races of mystic kind, she has no real experience with them or their biases, and will treat them on a case by case basis, developing her own view of them without letting other peoples opinions interfere in her judgement.

As for personal interests and hobbies, she enjoys reading and training, both she feels are important to developing herself as a proper warrior. She feels a warrior must not only be strong, but also knowledgeable and wise, as without the wisdom to temper your strength, you are simply a brute, unfit for anything besides the most basic of tasks. She has no real opinions on human culture or customs at this time, as she has very little exposure to it, however, she always enjoys good food, especially very hearty meat dishes. As for what she enjoys reading, she enjoys books from ancient human cultures, especially treatises on warfare and historical texts, those being some of the only ways she knows anything about human society. She got to read these books as another dragonkin who had been out to the human world acquired them on her liege's behest, as he wanted some insight into the history of humans on a whim. She especially likes the work of Julius Caesar, De Bello Gallico, and if the chance arises, she will most definitely purchase herself a copy of her own. 

History: Valxiris was born to Bhaxiros and Fenmeila of Clan Caefarn on March 22nd, 1976. Her family belonged to the warrior caste of the tribe, and therefore from an early age, she was raised to be a warrior of her clan, just like her parents and their parents before them. As soon as she could walk, her training began. Much like the Spartans of old, her training lasted throughout her entire childhood, training with the sword as soon as she could walk, reading treatises on combat as soon as she could read, and learning about the great enemy, the foreign demons, at the same time. From an outsider's point of view, and even from the viewpoint of dragonkin from other castes within the clan, her childhood was rather harsh. However, she enjoyed every minute of it. From the brutal training she went through every day, to the amount of knowledge she studied every day, and even the harsh exercise regimens she went through, she truly enjoyed them from the bottom of her heart, enjoying the chance to strive for excellence and a perfect form. 

At age 16, she underwent the trial that all members of the warrior caste would go through, she was sent out into the wilderness with only the clothes on her back and was expected to survive in the harsh wilds of the rocky mountains for two weeks, hunting and surviving completely on her own. This was a treacherous period for sure, and she came close to death a couple of times, however this only steeled her resolve, she would return home victorious, and prove herself as a warrior. And that she did, coming back home far more well fed than any of her fellow dragonkin, having hunted for food instead of merely surviving on meager berries and the like. This was the first in a line of many accomplishments she would earn in her adolescence, the start of her career as a warrior of the tribe. 

She participated in further training, pushing herself harder than all of her fellow warriors, who had grown complacent, at least in her eyes, after securing their place in society. To her, being just good enough was not nearly enough. She had to strive for perfection in mind and body. She exercised vigorously every day, followed by reading the various books that the elders had accumulated over the years, and she would spend at least an hour of her exercise going through just the forms of her sword style, so that it would become pure instinct to her. She often entered tournaments held by the warrior caste, which served as both entertainment for the clan and a way for the warriors to hone her skills. She never lost against anyone of her age group, but she often was beaten by far more senior warriors, however she did not despair, instead, seeing it instead as a cue that she still had further to go, more to learn before becoming the best she could be. She continued this life of constant training, study, and fighting up until the present day, totally uninterested in love or other things girls of her age might have been interested in, instead completely dedicating herself to her role as a warrior.

This did not go unnoticed by her liege, who recognized her as an up and coming leader of the clan, and to test her skills to see if she was really as good as she seemed, he assigned her with a task, he would have her observe and report back about the activities of the humans who had taken up residence in his mountains, the IACSB. He told her to obey the orders given to her as long as they did not conflict with his interests, and told her to regularly report back with progress reports with what she had learned. He gifted her with a powerful sword, and sent her out with her orders to the mountain headquarters of the IACSB. Arriving at the headquarters with fire in her heart and duty on her mind, she approached the gates without doubt, she would carry out her liege's orders or die trying.

After arriving at the IACSB headquarters, she was greeted by multiple armed guards, who escorted her to an interrogation room, which she voluntarily headed to, and after a few hours of them talking with her and getting the recommendation she got from her master translated, they allowed her to join and sent her to an off-site basic training facility, where she would learn things about modern life and warfare, though she did not pay much attention to much when it came to actual use of modern weapons, just how to deal with them in combat and the like. She also expanded her modern vocabulary, and while she naturally speaks in a bit of an archaic manner, she can still communicate with people she needs to. She also learned about the general procedures of the IACSB and some basic modern history, nothing very interesting to her. After a few months she was done, and now she headed back to where she had began, ready to carry out the mission her liege had sent her on. 



Od: E (20 Units)
Strength: D
Endurance: E
Agility: E



Equipments:

Name: Body Armor
Rank: E
Description: A protective ballistic vest which is worn over the chest and torso; although variations have been made for the supernatural entities whom are not quite so… humanoid. While still somewhat tough, it does not mean that they are going to be completely protected from the real monsters in the supernatural world. At best covers the internals and important organs while leaving the limbs unprotected for maximum mobility. This is normally worn when units are sent in important tasks where mortality rate maybe high, or even in a major operation. Val never wears it, opting instead for her own personal plate mail and her scales.

Name: Radio
Rank:
Description: Basic radio assigned to each unit to communicate with the administration and control of the operation. Typically it is designed as a wireless earpiece receiver and microphone combination, but often lower ranking members end up with older generation equipment such as ones that rely on hip-mounted controls and batteries. These radios work off of the IACSB’s encrypted radio channel, and are unable to pick up other channels without being tempered with. Ideally they can pick up transmissions from about 30km around in an urban environment; but in a clear area they can pick up transmissions at range around 40km.

Name: Greatsword of Caerfarn
Rank: E
Description: A heavy greatsword that most humans could never hope to wield. As it was granted to her as a gift from her liege upon accepting the mission to observe the IACSB, she treasures it immensely.

Name: Draconic Plate Mail
Rank: E
Description: Basic Dragonkin plate armor that any warrior of her clan would wear, covers more area than the basic IACSB body armor and fits her far better, so she generally wears this instead. To comply with their insistence that she have some sort of identification while in the field, she had the badge attached to it, much to her chagrin.

Uniforms:

Val possesses both the uniforms for the IACSB, however neither of them fit her very well at all, so she got permission to not have to wear them, as they would be extremely uncomfortable, impractical, and just downright silly looking.

Weaknesses:

• Cannot materialize scales over her neck, and has none there normally.
• Weak to divine weaponry.
• Hot, arid environments impose a negative modifier to all stats as they are not used to those regions, affecting them heavily.

Skills:

Name: Melee Weaponry (Draconic Greatword)
Description: Val was trained from a very young age to be a warrior, and she showed the most promise with the Greatsword, and excelled at it, quickly becoming a rising star in her clan. She has not much practical experience due to a lack of real combat experience, however she is quite knowledgeable when it comes to the theory of her style.
Rank: E

Name: Tactics
Description: Not only did Val excel at the use of her weapon, she also showed promise as a fledgling commander, showing a lot of promise in her ability to coordinate her fellow dragonkin and formulate plans to lead her team to victory in the combat games held by her clan. The cloak she wears on her armor is a token of one of her many victories in these games, given to her for her outstanding performance in leading her to victory.
Rank: E

Name: Foreign Demon Expertise
Description: As part of her training as a warrior in her clan, Val was taught all about foreign demons, the natural enemies of true dragons, who are like gods to her Wyvern master. In practical terms, this means she knows a lot about how foreign demons move and operate in an area, which would greatly help in tracking one down. This does not extend to irregularities, being far less useful against oddities among foreign demons, however it still would give at least some insight into its actions.
Rank: E

Abilities:

Name: Elemental Affinity (Fire)
Description: All dragons have an affinity with one element or another. Usually this is something basic and generic such as water, wind, fire, earth or lightning, but more specialized or abstract cases have been known to occur. They can manipulate this element with techniques as if they were utilizing spells or magecraft. Additionally, this ability grants the Elemental Breath technique for free. Additionally, this ability grants Elemental Resistance to the element they possess an affinity with, relative to their own skill at it. Renders them much more difficult to harm with any element with which they have an affinity. Val's particular affinity is fire, so she is rather hard to harm with fire based attacks
Rank: D

Name: Flight
Description: All dragonkin, regardless of whether they possess wings or not, are capable of flight. Even those without wings may hover through the air and levitate as if unbound by gravity. While this ability is strongest among those with a wind affinity, it is possessed by all Dragonkin regardless of affinity. Increasing the rank of this ability increases flight speed and maneuverability.
Rank: E

Name: Dense Scales
Description: Dragonkin may materialize thick scales over any part of their body, which are extremely durable and difficult to break through. Even at low levels it is capable of withstanding low grade fire arms and deflecting minimal damage, making them extremely durable and difficult to meaningfully wound. The only place on Val's body not covered by these scales is her neck.
Rank: E

Techniques/Spells:

Name: Dragon Breath
Description: Val emits an attack utilizing their elemental affinity from their mouth, and this means she breathes fire at her enemy.Nothing Fancy, just a straight fireball to catch her enemy off-guard. Deal;s D rank damage.
