Character Info
◎ Character's Name: Dragonus
◎ Character's Canon: Defence of the Ancients 2 (DOTA 2)
◎ Character's Age: Not given, but widely considered one of the younger characters - between 19-25?
◎ Canon Point: Version 6.87 gameplay update
◎ Background/History:
Born to high standing members in the court of the Ghastly Eyrie, Dragonus's fate was decided for him as a child by the goddess Scree'auk; he would be the next Skywrath Mage, chosen to protect both their Queen and their people from all threats and dangers that loomed both within and beyond their lofty homes. While this great burden was placed upon him he had the pleasures of a high ranking lifestyle, including growing up alongside the princess he would one day serve, Princess Shendelzare. Both feeling the weight of their imposing duties to their people, Dragonus and Shendelzare became close friends and confides. It would be safe to say that Dragonus loved her as much as he loved his own family.
Over time, Dragonus was trained in preparation for his future. While his affection for Shendelzare never waned, he locked himself into deep studying, determined to fully understand and master the most advanced of all Skywrath sorcery. Unfortunately this meant he was oblivious to the warning signs of deceit and treachery emerging within the court. As he remained couped up in his studies, a violent coup swept through the Eyrie. Before Dragonus emerged, Shendelzare had been disposed of and her sister placed upon the throne of the Nest of Thorns in her place.
Dragonus was heartbroken at the loss of his oldest and dearest friend and powerless to retaliate. The magic of the Skywrath Mage is locked in blood to the throne itself - if he were to attack the new Queen, his power would desert him for betraying this oath. Although he hated her with every drop of his soul, Dragonus kneeled to her in order to remain the Court Mage, hoping that his position will allow him to one day gain revenge for Shendelzare and still wishing to protect his people and serve his goddess.
It was later that he discovered Shendelzare had not been killed by the assassin that had pursued her. Rather she had torn her wings apart to escape their net and had limped away on foot - the greatest insult to any Skywrath. She then turned to the goddess Scree'auk, the same whose power runs through Dragonus' blood, and traded her crippled body to become the very embodiment of revenge. Since then Dragonus has constantly studied between his duties and his appearances in court, dreaming of finding a way to restore Shendelzare to a fully healed form and restoring her as Queen of the Skywrath.
Some time after, he heard news of a curious war below the Eyrie, one of tremendous consequence that saw many fabled and legendary heroes gather to prove themselves in battle. On behalf of the skywrath Dragonus took flight and arrived upon the fallen fields, unaware that he would both face and work alongside many familiar faces in an endless war that could very well determine the fate of their world.
◎ Is the character a hacker and/or do they have a sixth-sense? No.
◎ Personality:
Dragonus is a gentle, noble soul, very much what you would expect of a winged being who belongs to a royal court. He conducts himself with a certain amount of careful grace, being raised to act in keeping with social niceities and to avoid offense when he speaks - a very important skill among the Skywrath, where the wrong word can spark a bitter feud or a simple misstep can lead to a bloody fight. While typically polite and well-spoken he won't hold back his more vibrant emotions, be they victorious cheers, genuine laughter or angry sobs. He is somewhat mild-mannered and tempered, contrary to typical Skywrath who are ill-tempered and petty, seeking retribution at the slightest percieved insult.
When Dragonus does vow revenge, he will obsess and refuse to let the matter settle until he feels the situation been set right by his own hand or according to his standards; an example of which would be taking flightless intruders up to the highest towers of the Eyrie and dropping them. This merciless streak is partly due to his confident sense of morality; he is extremely sure that he is 'a tool of the greater good' and that his actions are what is right. Thankfully, he is a good-hearted creature and will only seek revenge for crimes against his people or allies - which means that his ruthless attitude can be a shock to those unaware of the Skywrath and how they typically operate.
While Dragonus is extremely proud of his hertiage and will do all he can for Scree'auk, his goddess, he isn't shy about meeting and conversing with people who have different ideas, Gods and morals to him, so long as they have some common ground they can meet on. He enjoys engaging conversation about things like philosophy, strategy, astronomy and magic and, although he can get passionate about his views, he will listen respectfully and learn from people he sees as his equals or superiors. But some of his views are unshakeable and repeatedly questioning these will only annoy and irritate Dragonus.
When he completely devotes himself to something, Dragonus will pour his heart and soul into it. His magic is an excellent example, as he constantly pushed himself to master the most difficult and powerful of Skywrath sorcery, to the point of isolating himself to achieve it. Even when the desired outcome will take months or even years to achieve, he will patiently bide his time and continuously work towards his goal. He isn't afraid of self-sacrifice to meet his ends; for Shendelzare, he was willing to forfeit his life if it would revive and restore her to the Eyrie. He doesn't take failure well especially when he believes it's his fault, despite his innate pride.
◎ Powers/Abilities:
dota2.gamepedia.com/Skywrath_Mage#Abilities On the wiki
Dragonus is an exceptional flyer, capable of hovering in place, gliding and soaring far above the clouds. He's agile enough to perform 'dances' and can maintain his agility, height and speed while wearing armour. The payoff is that he cannot walk well on land, from inexperience and due to his taloned feet.
While not included as one of his ingame spells it's stated that Magic Missle, a short range stunning attack used by Vengeful Spirit, is a simple Skywrath technique, meaning that it's highly likely Dragonus knows how to use it as well. In a pinch, he will resort to more physical means to defending himself, making sure of the sharp talons on his hands and feet to defend himself.
◎ Weapons & Other Special Inventory:
Avilliva's Staff: The staff of the Skywrath Mage, through which Dragonus channels his powers. It's shape is to resemble the talon of Scree'auk and is useless in the hands of any other than the assigned court mage, thanks to the magic that empowers both Dragonus and the staff itself.
Master Chocobo: In war, the right equipment makes the difference between escape and death, a gank or survival, victory or defeat. For this heroes purchase reliable, brave couriers to retrieve items from the shops near the battlefield and bring them to their masters in the midst of battle. For Dragonus, only a winged companion would do.
CEREALIA-Specific
◎ Element: Air. Born to soar above the clouds to the underbelly of the Heavens, it is the greatest dishonour and humilation of all Skywrath to lose their ability to fly; even if keeping their wings would cost them their life.
◎ Sense: Sight. Several of Dragonus' spells create light and, in battle, being able to see through the fog of war is one of the greatest advantages one can have.
◎ Seven Character Traits: + Mild-tempered, clever, noble | - Emotional, resolute, self-sacrificing | = Proud
