Name: Kanryu Athalan Age: unknown Gender: female Birthplace: somewhere in the deep ice caverns of the north

Hair color: white

Eye color: yellow

Race: Dragon

Height: length from head to tail: 17 meters. Tail length: 7 meters. Height: 3 meters. Wingspan: 11 meters. *uhhh...don't know the american inch/feet system ^_^"*

Distinguishing features: burned-in scar on the chest, seems like some sort of symbol. Scale color is deep blue, yellow/golden horns and white wings. (see picture)

Family: none. Only faint memories tell her that there were once more of her kin. She had once tried to go on a quest to find others like her but she failed, afraid of the humans and other creatures that attacked her or ran away in fear. Eventually she turned back to where she came from, and remains to live there: an ice cave on one of the northern continents.

Kin: her roots lead back to the Mythril Dragon clan, but she doesn't know this. Mythril Dragons are more wise and less agressive than other dragons.

Occupation: Kanryu is a dragon in desperate search of finding her kin, yet afraid to do so, even though she is a big dragon. But she is also in search of herself. All the dragon legends and stories, and the very few dragons she has flown into, show her that dragons are evil and agressive beasts. But Kanryu is smarter than them and has the ability to speak. She lives solitairy in an ice cave on one of the northern continents.

Interests: When Kanryu encounters people that do not fear her and who do not attack her (uhh, the RPG players ^_^?), her fears turn into passion. She is willing to join their quest in order to complete her own: discover her roots and find herself by knowing her past.

Miscellaneous background: Kanryu, as said before, is one of the two survivors of the Mythril Dragon clan. She was born in a small family, which were almost the last survivors of the ancient race, which was becoming extinct. Dragon Hunters hunted their family down. Kanryu was hidden deep in the cavern and wasn't killed. The hunters dragged away the bodies of her parents and brother, leaving here ther, a young dragon, too young to fly yet. Kanryu survived somehow, growing up as a lone dragon, capable of taking care of herself. Yet somewhere she has always felt like she was missing something or someone. She flies out one day, determined to find other dragons like herself. Heading south she soon encounters another dragon, but instead of being able to speak at all, the dragon fiercely attacks her. This is the first time she has to defend herself, and she has no skill in that yet(skill: Slash. Power: low). At the end, where she's severely wounded and the evil dragon is about to deliver his final blow, an unknown power emerges and forms itself in her beak. She breathes out a huge ball of ice energy (skill: Ice breath. Power: medium). Kanryu is amazed by this power but is too weak to travel any further. She rests there, at the coast of the ice continent. Because of her serious injuries she loses consciousness after a while. When she wakes up she finds herself tied down with chains and there are little creatures on two feet walking around her. Humans. She tries to break loose. Also, she notices most of her injuries are gone (skill: regeneration). The humans begin to sting her with swords and spears, and this makes Kanryu mad. She is panicked and becomes wild, and breaks out of the chains. As fast as she can she flies back to the territory she knows: the ice cave. Months go by, and Kanryu can't stop thinking about the evil dragon and the people that captured and attacked her. By now, she has forgotten about the disaster of her family. She'd put it away for such a long time, that she cannot remember. She develops a fear and distrust for people and the world out there. In a way, she is still a child dragon, not having learned anything from her late parents, and nothing she remembers. For a long time, she will live there; but in some way, it doesn't seem that long to her. She keeps on thinking about everything, but is too scared to go outside again, afraid to go away from the one place she finds peace. Yet she still wanders about finding others like her and finding out who she is and where she came from, what her goal in life is. Her fear holds her back. Kanryu is silent, but intelligent. She is fearful and needs to find inner strength and faith in herself. Eventually she will find her own strength when she needs to defend others. She is calm, nice and thoughtful and has a strong feeling of righteousness. She cannot stand injustice being done to anyone. A lot of times she is also lost in thought and confused about certain cases. She can't take decisions, but has a lot of courage within, buried under her fear. She can eventually become really devoted to something or someone. Dragon Hunters are still looking for her, she has, amongst them become a legend. They wish to haunt down "the last of the Mythril Dragon clan" and claim their prize. You see, the Mythril Dragons were not only called that way because of their skin colour, but because their horns and claws are mythril, a precious metal. Mythril Dragon Horns are considered a rare and expensive object, therefore, the hunters want to hunt Kanryu down for what she's worth in gold. Sometimes Kanryu can do something without even thinking about others, which is because she's used to living alone and finds it initially difficult do deal with others. She likes deciding things herself, but then again, she is afraid that she might take the wrong decision. Kanryu's other skills are the ability to fly, Tail Sweep, Horn Attack and she can call upon her ancestors once she'll develop this skill later on. Kanryu is a slow but powerful fighter with long endurance. She's equipped with her mythril claws and horns. Her strong wings serve as a shield, and her tough skin is able to withstand low power blows. Her weaknesses are fire, she can use little magic but regeneration and ice breath, and she is slower than the average character. She's very susceptible to status spells such as sleep and poison.
