Wylant -- "Mithranos"


Description


In Wylant's true dragon form, he's over 25 feet long and weighs several tons of scale and muscle. His natural armor plating shines beautifully, especially in the morning sun. Vibrant, molten silver eyes miss nothing in his surroundings. Wylant's scales gleam like liquid metal and prismatically radiate color as his muscles ripple. Great, wide leathery wings span twenty feet in either direction. A frill of delicate-seeming leather extends from the tip of his tail to the top of his head. Long, smooth horns jut backwards behind his watchful eyes. He seems mighty yet merciful in his regal bearing. His more diminutive guise is human in general appearance, save for his solid silver eyes. Wylant then boasts platinum-blonde hair and a gentle, welcoming smile on his handsome face. The shield dragon wears a chain shirt that matches his scales in its masterful beauty, and he always carries a jeweled great sword, too. Wylant is a warrior through and through. Regardless of his current form, Mithranos is always accompanied by the gentle scent of fresh spring rain.


History


Almost 175 years ago, Wylant hatched deep beneath the Mistheart Mountains. A small range long claimed by the noble silver dragons, he had a stable and healthy homestead in which to grow. As Wylant matured from hatchling to juvenile, he adopted a Common name: Mithranos. He watched as his wise mother ascended into the Conclave of Silver Clouds, a group of old and wizened silver drakes. His father instead rose to the gods themselves and served in the court of Naiok in Heaven. Wylant felt the same call of faithful duty. Like his father, he took up the same code of celestial duty. Wylant decided he, too, would ascend to Heaven and serve as his god's personal representative. To that end, he waited for the opportunity to present his worth within his lair back in the Misthearts. He knew his chance was coming when he saw an omen of death rising again to overshadow the whole world.


Personality


Wylant is quiet and insightful, wise and thoughtful, gentle yet terribly fierce when need-be, and strong in mind, body, and faith. He seeks a crusade to pursue and evils to overcome. Wylant's draconian vanity comes in the form of his belief that he belongs at Pelor's side, like his father. Otherwise, Wylant seems friendly and understanding. In fact, he likes to make new friends among humanoid races. He often adopts a human form reflective of his age and gender. In fact, he prefers many parts about humanoid culture beyond dragon life.


Goals


Wylant intends to pursue only his Paladin class to mastery (20th level+).
