There are two men at war inside Darius' mind; the benevolent monk and the powerful dragon. Though this makes him a walking juxtaposition he is, at his very core, a very brave and intelligent man; a better leader than follower if only because his charismatic nature can make him the center of attention. He is both dangerous, brash, and yet controlled and patient. He can be arrogant, condescending and view himself as better than others but tries to be a humble man. It is the way he was raised, both as a dangerous weapon and later as a silent monk. His desire is to erase his demons altogether, to become a calm and serene person, but when stressed or challenged, his inner dragon has a tendency to rear it's ugly head.
At the end of the day Darius is a good person. A noble man. He wants to see the world become a better, more harmonious place and he's willing to help his fellow man to get there. He doesn't like being questioned or having his abilities put to the test, (all that draconic pride he can't seem to shake) but he is a good man, who wants to do the right thing, even if it's the harder thing. He'll play by the rules to an extent, but his powerful moral compass is usually pointing him in a positive direction. While he does not have any problem with authority, he also does not feel beholden to abide by it.

NOTE: Darius does not tell anyone, anyone what he is, aside from his traveling companions. Because of his magical origins, he hides this very well. At best, someone might assume he's a lesser elemental.

People Aware Of Darius' Origin: Danae.


☯┆SKILLS┆☯
Archery: Still learning. He's pretty terrible at this.
Melee Combat Mastery: With his shapeshifting hilts, Darius can come at you with anything from Axes to swords, maces to sai - basically any close range one or two handed weapon.
Creator: Using his dominion over earth and its derivatives, Darius is capable of creating many things with little effort. Weapons, armor, sculptures - if it can be made from earth, Darius can create it.

☯┆POWERS┆☯
THE DRAGON
Darius is an elementally corrupted dragon - one of the most powerful creatures that roam the world. Because of both his powerful draconic blood and his elementally afflicted nature, he had risen to a level of might few can possess. Capable of transformation, elemental manipulation, and superior physical abilities.
Dragons are a proud and ancient race. In their natural form, that of a great dragon, they continue to grow every year, both in size and wingspan - as well as overall intelligence. Generally speaking, the older a dragon is, the smarter and more powerful they become.
Though Darius is over five hundred years old, in Dragon terms, he's still considered a young adult, with a long ways to go.
All elementally afflicted dragons have a core weakness. Darius happens to be not particularly fond of water or ice.

Elemental Manipulation In short, Darius is capable of manipulating and controlling earth, minerals, and its derivatives (all but the most refined metals) down to the molecular level. His ease of use and level of control with his power is what make him such a formidable opponent.
Effective Range: Roughly 50 meter radius. Projectiles within that range will continue to travel, outside of 50m, will become subject to gravity.
Limitation: Darius can only manipulate the world when his feet are in contact with Gaea. If he is in the air, he cannot manipulate earth.

Colossus FormDarius can shift into a state more in-tune with his element; covered in a combination of scales and minerals, increasing his defensive capabilities while making him a slower combatant.
Earth MeldDarius is one with his element; melding allows him to make this literal, allowing him to meld with and move through the earth and earthen materials. He can bring with him anything he is physically in contact with - mainly items, or people.
CommuneAs an elemental, Darius can communicate with the earth and sense vibrations through it, giving him a second sight. Through this he can often tell a person's origins and how old they are (how long they've been walking the earth).
Genetic ProwessIn all forms, Darius is immune to electricity and fire, yet weak against water and ice.
In his human form, due to his full draconic blood, Darius' strength and durability are roughly 10x the human limit.
GolemsThe ability to create and control golems. He often makes golems for fun, as part of his sculpting ideals, then stores them back in the earth for later.
Can only control one giant golem at once.
IntegrateWhen injured, Darius can repair himself using/drawing in earthen materials around him. The more grievous his wounds, the more he has to hold in place, and the weaker he becomes, as his attention focuses on keeping his new flesh together.
Earth BreakerThe pinnacle of Darius' elemental abilities. He can literally reach down and control the tectonic plates under the earths surface, causing them to shake, vibrate, meld or split. This ability causes earthquakes around his person - from shaking the earth and rustling some leaves to rending the earth in two.

Darius is capable of shifting to and from Dragon Form at will.
Darius will need to shift into his natural Full Dragon form at least once every two weeks, to stretch his wings so to speak.

DRAGON STATS

Overall DescriptionIn full form Darius stands 11' tall at the shoulder with a stocky build. His neck is shorter than a typical dragon, though he still has four legs and an average sized tail for his age.
Wings:A broad, 50' wingspan makes Darius a strong flier, capable of covering large distances with ease - though, he is not built for maneuverability. As far as Dragons go, his in-air maneuverability is less than average.
Scale PlatingLikely because of his large wings and poor maneuverability, Darius is covered in thicker-than-average scale plating, making him more of a defensive powerhouse than an agile weapon.
SpeechDarius can still communicate while in his Dragon form - though not through his vocal chords. In Dragon form, he communicates telepathically.


☯┆POSSESSIONS┆☯

Gaea & Tartarus These bonded weapons have been forged over the years by Darius himself from a collection of the hardest substances available. Their hilts are nearly always the same, but the minerals beyond that take whatever shape Darius wills them to.

Posted ImageThis Dynamic Duo have been partners and best friends for nearly fifty years. They work well together, share stories and experiences together, and have always been there for one another, through it all.
Even though they're best friends, they have a tendency to bicker like an old married couple - often leading people to question the nature of their relationship.

☯┆HISTORY┆☯

The birthright of the dragon-son is largely unknown and Darius himself rarely speaks of his life before the monastery. For him to divulge that much information it would have to be to someone he trusts his life with. In fairness much of his life before that is a blur, a mirage, little more than broken memories and idealistic visions of what a potent life with people just like himself would be like. Darius does not even remember his last name.

Darius was hatched - like all other Dragons - from an egg. However, for reasons still unknown, his particular egg had become elementally corrupted during his incubation. Because of this, he grew up faster than all the others around him - and also happened to be far more intelligent. It caused a rift early on, but his family knew what was happening. As he grew older, he continued to be larger than the rest, continued growing wiser, and his abilities started manifesting - though he wasn't getting plasma bolts like his brothers and sister. He was manipulating the very earth around him.

Once his powers began to manifest his family began to help him control his talents as best they could. There is a powerful distinction between training him and helping him reign in his draconic prowess. Warned of the danger of the inability to control his emotions from an early age, he was brought up to remain calm, still - to be one with the elements, listen to them, harmonize with them - which, of course, young Darius thought was a complete crock of shit. Shitty thing about being a dragon? You're an arrogant prick.

For years he traveled the world, using and abusing his powers for personal gain. His ability to blend in with humans was amazingly useful. But he fell in with a bad crowd, lost all touch with reality and sense of self, gave in to his compulsions and libidinous, carnal desires and taste for destruction. It was one particular morning, after another night he didn't remember, nearing his 400th birthday, he woke up in an alley with no memory of how he'd arrived, nothing but a headache, and to his drunken dismay, realizing for the first time he couldn't remember his parents faces - or his true last name. He'd told so many lies, used to many surnames over the years... and his life seemed trite, trivial; the dragon had been slain, angry and writhing, but Darius wanted more. Needed more.

He spent the next thirty years in a monastery under a vow of silence. His brothers, his mentors, easily saw all that pent up rage and passion and over time tried to teach him to let go of it all, to simply forget, to be better. With no distractions and no stresses he spent months in silence, silently meditating; giving him time to harness a stronger union with the earth herself, to learn a way other than violence, to become humble, to bite his tongue; eventually, he looked like he was starting to truly change for the better, to control his anger, to remain patient and collected under stress and trials. But after all those years, when he broke his vow of silence to verbally assault another monk who'd gotten under his skin, he was asked to leave the monastery he called home; he was both angry, and upset. He had failed, and yet, he still felt there was hope. He'd learned much, felt strongly, and wanted to repent. If he couldn't repent for his sins in silence, perhaps he could do some good in the world. He set off to explore the world. He found Sanctum and the Explorer's League, and while he is a part of it, he generally sticks to exploring with only a choice few companions.
