Dragus Navaro

[Dragus Navaro]

Dragus Navaro Appearance Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 32 Birthday: 29th of Winter, 481 AV Birthplace: Riverfall Theme Tune Appearance: Dragus is tall at 6'2" and relatively muscular, with pale (but not ghostly white) skin and a fairly clear complexion. His shoulder-length jet black hair can be fairly unkempt at times, though he has a good sense of style and is always dressed well. His long, rounded face is at the borderline between masculine and feminine, and features thin lips, high and pronounced cheek bones and deep-set vivid green eyes capable of holding the attention of most who gaze into them. Character Concept Dragus is what would be referred to as a perfect psychopath. He has absolutely no capacity for empathy, guilt or remorse and cannot feel fear. He considers himself the apex predator and sees other people as being inferior in every way to himself - almost regarding them as another species entirely. He feels no love toward other humans or in fact any other sentient race; they are merely meat and bone, no different from any other animal except that occasionally they can also be useful as a means to some further end. However, he has developed a certain respect for the Akalak in his hometown of Riverfall, their discipline and skill in the warrior arts rubbing off on him somewhat throughout his childhood. He has an extraordinarily high sex drive, and is a frequent customer of practically every whore house he can find. His tastes are very particular and quite sadistic, he enjoys inflicting pain on women as much as actually sleeping with them, if not more. This has resulted in the accidental death of at least one woman (covered up), and Dragus is banned from the Velvet Curtain brothel in Riverfall due to this incident and his generally disturbing behaviour and violent tendencies. Dragus is usually detached, cold and calculating, preferring to lurk in the shadows and observe rather than participate. He has a knack for not being noticed, and for example can suggest things in a group situation and have nobody remember later whose idea it was. His intuition is probably his most important asset and is a finely honed instrument; he can read most people quite easily, making it easy for him to manipulate them (especially if they are emotionally vulnerable) or to blend in with almost any social group should the need arise. Of course, Dragus is very adept at covering up his true nature, and most people in Riverfall think of him as rather a charming guy, as well as quite a feared and respected warrior-hunter. Even the Akalak he comes into contact with are occasionally surprised (if not quite inspired) by his ferocity and fighting skill. For a human he stands out in this regard. Character History Growing up in Riverfall, where the Akalak vastly outnumber the Human, Dragus became very familiar with the customs and culture of the proud warrior people. In his youth he befriended an Akalak boy of similar age and they often trained together in the Akalak Sasarans of Riverfall where Dragus picked up skill in various forms of unarmed combat and the knife. Occasionally though his reckless disregard for the welfare of himself or others and a tendency toward wanton, unrestrained violence would get the boys into trouble, and has given Dragus more than a few battle scars over the years. He has also witnessed the dual nature of Akalaks more than most humans, and their dark side is deeply interesting to him. Dragus' most prized possession is his cold iron fighting knife, gifted to him by his best friend on his 30th name day (when Akalak men usually undergo their Rite of Passage into adulthood with their Lakan). While Dragus as a human did not complete the traditional Akalak rite, he has killed an adult, feral Zith solo in the two years since, which gave him not only a deep, angry scar on his right arm but also gained him further respect from Riverfall's Akalak warriors. In the harsh winters, Riverfall also becomes prey to wild animals from the plains where food has become scarce. Dragus often goes hunting the beasts around town at this time of year to quench his ever growing blood thirst. Although done for his own satisfaction, this has gained him a reputation among the merchants and crafting artisans of Riverfall as something of a town protector. Dragus lives a complicated life, and his high sex drive and lack of morals has led to an incestuous relationship developing with his sister, which is of course a closely guarded secret known only to the two of them. Purely physical for Dragus, he nonetheless expends a large amount of effort on emotional and psychological manipulation of his sister on an almost daily basis to keep the relationship going, keep her subservient and to keep her silent about it.
