Aurix Darastrix (ORE-icks DARE-uhs-tricks)
Lord Aurix Darastrix
Aurix Darastrix is the Draconic ruler and founder of Ordah.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Humanoid Form
Aurix's humanoid form is significantly weaker than his draconic form, but that still leaves him a powerful being. Standing nearly three blocks tall, Aurix makes for an imposing figure. Even in humanoid form, Aurix has a pair of golden wings sprouting from his back, but these wings can be retracted when necessary, and with them he is capable of powerful flight for long distances. Despite his great power, Aurix often uses and relies upon magic artifacts to further enhance his abilities.
Body Features
Humanoid Form
Aurix's most notable features in humanoid form are his wings, which allow him to fly great distances. They are capable of magically retracting into his body, as a completion of his humanoid transformation.
Special abilities
Being a Dragon, Aurix is capable of reaching much further than the average being. His scales protect him from the hottest of flames, even in humanoid form.
Apparel & Accessories
Aurix often wears trinkets and artifacts that give small boosts or bonuses to his power. He commonly wears rings to increase digging speed or mobility, and nearly always wears a magic sash that increases speed, jump height, and step power.
Mental characteristics
Education
While his true age is unknown, Aurix has lived for a very long time, thus allowing him to accumulate a great amount of knowledge of how the world works, as well as truths that many others might not be aware of.
Accomplishments & Achievements
A survivor of the Great Cataclysm, Aurix waited a few years before becoming active in the world at large. He decided to found a new city, Ordah, on his home island of Aritolgalen, and began ruling over it, treating his territory, and resources as his hoard, and his people as his children. It is believed that many of the inhabitants of Ordah are indeed descendants of Aurix from early on in the cataclysm.
Failures & Embarrassments
Aurix's primary regret is not paying enough attention to the world beyond his island home. In lands not too far an empire was born, becoming aggressively expansionistic, and taking the island neighboring Aritolgalen as their own.
Intellectual Characteristics
Being an ancient dragon, Aurix is highly intelligent and wise. He sees the patterns of history, and can often use prior knowledge to predict future events with startling accuracy. It is unknown whether he uses more esoteric means to acquire knowledge, or if it simply the result of his age.
Morality & Philosophy
Aurix is a very lawful creature. Ordah has many bureaucratic proceedings, and with the right paperwork you can be permitted to do nearly anything. However, everything that goes on in Aurix's territory is overseen and permitted by him, with few exceptions. He believes in fairness and a level of freedom for his people rarely seen in an autocrat. But his morality is also governed by his draconic nature. Among dragons, Aurix would be considered "progressive" in that he prefers to deal with threats to one's hoard and offspring with diplomacy, rather than razing their lands to dust and ash from above. However, possession of things is incredibly important to dragons, and any threat to Aurix's hoard must be dealt with, one way or another. He is not afraid to resort to using violence if it will preserve his territory and hoard.
Taboos
Despite common beliefs, many dragons respect property and ownership above nearly all else, and Aurix is no different. Theft is considered taboo to dragons, as well as advancing claim on what another owns by nature and right.
Relationships
History
They met once when Aurix saved Choral's life. For Choral it was love at first sight because mermaids only have one mate. Aurix moved on and has probably his own family because he is not a mermaid.
Nicknames & Petnames
Choral calls Aurix 'Senpai Oppar' which is a traditional mermaid pet name like honey or dear. He is unaware of this nickname.
