Gatekeepers Book 1: Darkness

Draycos

Race: Human/???

Age: 23

Height: 5" 9′

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Black, with Yellow Sclera

Draycos is a young man hailing from Atlantis City on Earth. He faced a rough childhood due to his eyes, but managed to push past it. After the destruction of Atlantis City, he woke up in a different world and was accused of stealing a precious artifact of the dragons. He is currently in the process of proving his innocence. Draycos is mostly easy going and honest, but he’s quick to irritate if called names such as ‘freak’ or ‘monster’. His quick wits and reflexes allows him to take others by surprise. During his fight against the orc Brock in the first round of the Prisoners’ Games, his magic powers manifested. Draycos’s magical attribute is Dark, much to the discomfort of the Dragon Council. He has no known family, although it is known that he’s a half-breed of two different races.

Theravor Stormfang

Race: Dragon (Unknown Species)

Age: 100+

Height: 26”5’

Scale Color: Red/Gold

Eye Color: Gold

Theravor Stormfang is the current Dragon King and the head of the Stormfang royal dragon family. It is apparent that he is exceptionally gifted compared to other dragons; not once has he ever lost in the Dragon King Festival. Theravor’s magical element is currently unknown. He has great insight, being able to determine that Draycos told the truth about the theft of the Orb of the First King through intuition and instinct. Theravor went as far as to put his position of Dragon King on the line to vouch for Draycos and arranged events to aid Draycos in obtaining his chance at redemption. He does have his quirks that leaves his advisor, Vertex, with plenty of headaches. His only known family at this point is his son, Drax.

Vertex

Race: Dragon (Unknown Species)

Age: 90+

Height: 25”6’

Scale Color: Dark Grey

Eye Color: Blue

Vertex serves as Theravor’s faithful advisor, and has authority on par with members of the Dragon Council. Calm, level-headed, and quick witted, he has known Theravor his entire life, and they are the best of friends. The Dragon King’s subtle antics cause no end to the headaches Vertex suffers, but he deals with them willingly. Vertex’s magic allows him to manipulate the very earth and the metals in it. Being the first one to interact with Draycos when he literally fell into the middle of a crime, Vertex understands Draycos’ intentions and purposes to a degree and understands the half-breed better than most. Vertex does his best to keep Draycos in line, even if it means smacking Draycos across the face to correct his behavior.

Reothad

Race: Dragon (Unknown Species)

Age: 70+

Height: 23”8’

Scale Color: Dark/Light Blue

Eye Color: Solid Yellow, with no irises or pupils

One of Theravor Stormfang’s right-hand companions, there isn’t much info on Reothad yet. He’s apparently a master of using ice-based magic, and has suffered a grievous injury in the past that heavily damaged one of his wings and completely destroyed an arm, which is now replaced with one made of ice. Calm and level-headed, he does not allow anyone to insult Theravor, who he has a deep level of respect for. He keeps a tool inside his scales that allows him to inspect a creature and determine if they possess any magic. Reothad remains neutral on matters concerning Draycos and the crimes he’s accused of.

Damrabe

Race: Mixed Dragon (Sangues Draconis + Anear Draconis)

Age: 50+

Height: 23”4’

Scale Color: Blood Red/Light Pink

Eye Color: Bright Green/Maroon

Out of all the characters introduced thus far, Damrabe has one of the worst backgrounds. His mother had been kidnapped by his father, who was the head of the rogue Blood Dragon tribe. She was forced to give birth to Damrabe and then killed once it was confirmed he would live past the usual death benchmark of half-breeds. He later on developed vampyrism after a ritual his father put him through and was kicked out of the tribe as a result. He eventually found his way to his grandfather, Poseidon, and now serves as one of King Theravor’s right-hand companions, whom he holds much respect for. Damrabe harbors a great deal of hate for his father, and has a hard time coming to terms with his grandfather, Poseidon. He’s a master of Blood-based magic, and is extremely skilled in recovery spells.

Poseidon

Race: Dragon (Anear Draconis)

Age: 300+

Height: 23”6’

Scale Color: Gold/Pale Gold

Eye Color: Gold

The Prison Warden in charge of Skyhaven Prison, Poseidon is left in charge of anything related to the prison and its inmates. Despite his age, Poseidon’s still more than capable of keeping the prison under control. As one of the more elderly dragons, his wisdom and experience is highly respected by all dragons. Poseidon is well-versed in his Water-based magic. His kindness to Draycos has been noticed by many, and he is one of the few people Draycos openly talks with.

Zero Vizard

Race: Dragon (Unknown Species)

Age: 100+

Height: 10”6’

Scale Color: Blue/White

Eye Color: Blue

As the head of the Vizard royal family, Zero’s word is highly respected among dragonkind. Despite his short stature among other dragons, Zero’s presence is never ignored. Zero enjoys spending his free time tinkering with old machinery. His magical element is currently unknown. He displays an odd sense of humor towards Draycos that unnerves his peers, and has led to more than one brawl between him and Draycos. He sympathizes with Draycos more than the other members of the Dragon Council, due to their somewhat similar backgrounds, and was the only dragon willing to teach Draycos Dragonscript when Poseidon asked. Zero and Draycos get along well, despite their shenanigans.

Boreta Managuard

Race: Dragon (Unknown Species)

Age: 120+

Height: 20”5’

Scale Color: Lavender

Eye Color: Solid Blue, with no irises or pupils

As the head of the Managuard royal family, Boreta’s word is highly respected among dragonkind. With an unmatched beauty and grace rarely seen among dragons, she carries her family’s skilled spellcaster legacy with great pride and confidence. Not many can match her level of magic, and she’s very skilled in various types of magic. Her magical element is currently unknown. Boreta’s skill with alchemy is also well known; so much so that she was nicknamed ‘The Toxic Butterfly’ during her time participating in the Dragon King Festival. She gets along well with the other Royal families. Caring and compassionate, she is very interested in Draycos and what he is.

Vinzgar Killwing

Race: Dragon (Unknown Species)

Age: 200+

Height: 25”3’

Scale Color: Dark Grey/Pale Red

Eye Color: Red

As the eldest member of the Dragon Council, Vinzgar’s word is only second to the Dragon King’s. Vinzgar has a long-lasting rivalry with the Stormfang family, particularly against Theravor himself, due to his family losing to the Stormfang family during the Dragon King Festival for the last century. However, despite his rivalry with Theravor, he remains loyal to the Dragon King. His magical element is currently unknown. Vinzgar has a more aggressive stance against Draycos than the others, but is slowly recognizing the fact that Draycos has nothing to do with the theft of the Orb of the First King.
