ummmm..... i think i got as brief a summary of my characters history as i could probably fit. Here goes, also, tell me if there is mistakes in it. I need to know if things are wrong.Rhianon was her name since childbirth. Her mother had died conceiving her and her father died in a large battle of kings just as she turned 5. She was forced to make a living out of the bare scraps her life had given her. She didn’t like the first few years growing up. The king and queen had taken her in thinking her more a pet than anything else. She had showed them that she was not a pet, the guards had ran into the throne room to find their king and queen on the floor with a pool of blood around their neck. She was only about 20 then, her wings still folded and her scales only the size of thumbnails. She was put in the arena against beast, men and animals for another 30 years, she had a very awful life for her first 50-60 years. It was when she was at the age of 70 that she was found by one of her own kindred and bought out of the hellish life she had led. She was remorseful for the next couple of years, learning magical arts and staff weapons was boring and she despised it with quite a lot of her heart. It wasn’t until she was about 79 that she found out what her order was trying to get her to do. She had never saved people before. It was odd for her to start saving people after 30 years of trying to kill people. She managed it though, and her magical abilities increased over the years. She was about 234 when she had become strong enough, mentally, and physically to be allowed to join the ‘circle of dragons’. She soon went up the ranks of the order, moving from 50th to the 11th. She was 356 when she was mortally wounded for the first time. She had been in one of the English towns and the new weapons with the black powder had been created, the first shot the guy had taken chipped one of her arm plates. She was stunned that she had been chipped from such a great distance away that she didn’t have time to move behind shelter to avoid the 2nd bullet. It hit her below the rib cage and almost hit her heart. It took her 3 weeks to recover, and once she had, the man that had shot her was a wanted criminal among their order. Since then the Order of Dragon has dwindled in numbers because of bigger, faster and stronger weapons like the one that wounded Rhianon. It was a tough time for her order, she moved up to 2nd by her 500th birthday. It was strange to have moved up in positions because someone else died. It didn’t feel right, and she didn’t like to seem rude to others. So she had taken the positions and had learnt all she could about the weapons and helped their own blacksmiths and crafters to make armor that wouldn’t kill them. She is now at a middle age in Dragon Kin years, at the age of 523, its hard to keep friends when she is suspected for things she didn’t do. That why she has signed up for the new Hellsing group, to prove that she was doing things for the good of her order, not trying to destroy it.
sounds great to me! i like it ^.^
that part where she was fighting demons in battling arenas, reminds me of this one episode of the wb's Angel. where angel got captured and was forced to fight. anyways....i was wondering that maybe your dragon kin group might've or are trying to recruit my character? is that okay with you? since he's part dragon after all. We can bring that up during the game, perhapes? I'm just suggesting this cause i like your idea of the Dragon kin and ranks thing. But you don't have to go with this idea, if you don't want to.
now that you have reminded me about the torteous part of a mutant/dragon's life, i do need to note some things when i continue my background on Narsil. As in when he had to survive people from the Middle Ages trying to slay him and all dragon kind in the area. Maybe having to fake his own death so slayers would quit hunting him down. A few centuries later, around the time Van Helsing was about and slaying demons and the like. Draven encountered the exterminator and convinced Helsing not to slay him. Maybe later on they became friends or traveling partners. Narsil stuck around to be trained about monsters and how to slay them like Van Helsing. So that when the time comes for him to be recruited by the present day Hellsing organiztion, he would recognize the scent of a Hellsing of any relation. I was thinking, that maybe Van Helsing kept a confidential written record of Draven that Integra found in an old documents room in her mansion from mission of long ago and of past relatives/who headed hellsing. That was how she was able to reach him.
So, Draven has met many demon extermintors and purifying people over the centuries. Some of them, quite famous.
