Physical Description

Special abilities

Users possess the traits, attributes, characteristics, and/or abilities of dragons; powerful and legendary creatures, typically depicted with serpentine or reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of many cultures. They achieve this either through full or partial transformation into dragons, choosing to mimic certain aspects of draconic beings, or simply already being a dragon in the first place. The user can utilize Dragon Arts, a specialized system of techniques based on the powers of the Dragons of Olde. This set of skills is focused on channeling draconic essence, forces, magic, energy, elements, spirits, items, and/or possibly calling on draconic entities to perform various feats. Practitioners may or may not be dragons or draconic in origin. Whatever the circumstance, utilization of these arts enables one to exhibit unique capabilities such as conjuring draconic elements, supernaturally enhancing one’s body/abilities, and even accessing draconic materials.
These arts tend to be particularly personal as they often involve the user's ability to tap into their inner dragon and learn the ways of dragons to fully utilize their arts, which gives the user essentially limitless possibilities for what they can accomplish. Through an understanding of the nature of this specialized essence, one can manifest various supernatural abilities ranging from combat skills to physical enhancement to supportive manifestations like healing.

Specialized Equipment

The Mawdread Great Axe

Lord Mordred le Fay, Son of Arthur & Blood of Morgause by Bellim, Caio
The colossal great axe was forged by Mordred himself. The axe is cast from an ore that serves to regulate the output of energy from its master to conserve their stamina, golden cords with dragon heads adore the tip and the head of the weapon is chipped and cracked, yet unbroken. The axe demanded two hands and all of one's strength to effectively wield, but once contact with a target was made, there was little chance it would not break the surface.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Mordred was the son of Queen Morgause by her half-brother King Arthur, an incestuous union that begat ill fruit. The boy was raised alongside the other children of Morgause and accepted by her Lord Husband, Prince Lothric Coeling, but the boy harbored some deep resentment and desire for power, which would drive him to possess the Black Winter, a primordial force of death, destruction, and the end. The power pushed him to challenge Arthur for the throne in his Black Rebellion, ending in both their deaths.

Education

The Longest Winter

Mordred was left on Mountain to train after killing Nathalia, Blade of Camelot and King Arthur. He could not be killed per Lord Arthur's last orders but not even Court Wizard Merlyn could bend any Sir or Dame to train the Kingslayer. And thus, he resided on Mountain alone, caught in one of the Realm's longest winter seasons spanning 10 years.
Mordred and his dragon GONDOR survived on Mountain for 10 long years in a realm where time moved twice as slow as Midgard. He endured all manner of foes, from Dire Wolves capable of tearing a starship's hull to sea serpents that cause tsunamis.
