Zyndir

Overlord of Dragons Zyndir Maleki

When you are the highest of powers, who is there to stand by your side? The life of a King is a lonely journey; Overlord Zyndir Maleki is no exception. The youngest lord of the Draigaral Dynasty in all it's history of generational reign, and easily one under most pressure. With the abrupt tragedy of his father's passing looming over the kingdom, and being one of the Seven Elites of the Radiant Council, he went numb to the hardships of leadership long ago. He commands respect, awe rolling through crowds at a glimpse of his towering physique. For many a year, his life was dull, the same day repeating over and over as time passed in a flash. Only with the introduction of his adopted son, Unmei---once a beloved sorcerer of the Vexheryn family rejected with the backfiring of his dangerous magic---did a spark of life return to his eyes.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Zyndir, both in draconic and humanoid form (the latter being his main form, seen as it's most 'approachable'), is understandably a very large man. Strong, plus-size, with plenty of muscle. Looking at him, one may mistake him for a military general than a man of royal blood. That is, only if you're oblivious to who he is. He's very heavy, sometimes struggling with things such as climbing thanks to his enormous tail, large wingspan, and the typical armor he wears, but there are no physical deformities or struggles.

Body Features

This information is based on his main form, his humanoid form. It carries to his draconic form, too. ― Zyndir has horns like a combination of two different types - tiefling horns, and regular, upwards-coiling horns. Both of which are black and white, with each side being opposites.
― Like many other dragons, he also has a regular, draconic tail. In his case, the underbelly scales are white, and the rest is a midnight black, both with a purple shine when met with light. Along the spine are jagged spikes, bone-like in texture and coloration. The tip of his tail is feathered, mostly black with some whites.
― Likewise with his horns, his wings are asymmetrically colored, and formed in the same way you'd see on any old dragon. The peak of his wings has a similar spiked bone stuck out.

Facial Features

This information is based on his main form, his humanoid form. It carries to his draconic form, as well, albeit with some changes (naturally, since it goes from a human to a dragon.)

― His features are defined, chiseled, still retaining a dragon-like appearance no matter the form. Under his eyes are purple scales similarly distributed and slightly larger than freckles, paired with black winged marks extending from the corners of his eye to below the tear duct.

Identifying Characteristics

― With all his regal display, everything about him is identifiable. From the asymmetrical coloration of his inhuman features, to the purple shimmer glistening his scales. From the cold voice that roars through stadiums, to the power in his stature - what is there to be unmemorable about him? That said, his most identifiable feature may just be the crown he was gifted when brought into the Radiant Council. Like every other member's, it was personally constructed for him; a spiked, obsidian crown, an indigo gem centered like an eye watching over his subjects, comfortably seated secure at all times upon his head.

Physical quirks

― No matter his form, he retains his dragon teeth.
― On occasion, when he breathes, a purple smokey mist will fall from his lips or nose.
― In the middle of his perfect, dark ashen hair, is a single white lock with similar curls to the ones framing his face. No matter what he does, it seems to always come back with a vengeance.
― His wings, unlike most other dragons, are partially transparent.

Apparel & Accessories

― You can almost guarantee, whenever you find Zyndir on official duty, he's donning some form of armor. Be it a breastplate, pauldrons (shoulder guards), gauntlets, or knee guards, he always seems to be more prepared for a war than the average, boring duties of a King. Even on his leisure time, you'd be hard-pressed to find him in anything that could pass as 'unformal.' A constant is his love for spikes, skulls, and gold and royal violet accents popping his black attire.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Lord Zyndir, much like any other member of the Maleki Family, had his fate set out from the moment the shell of his egg cracked. Even better, he was the firstborn of King Qadim and Queen Xadria---thus, he was the heir to the throne. Like any other King, he was raised to respect others. He traveled from village to village, became acquainted with his subjects, worked the long and laborious jobs alongside the commonfolk and aided them where necessary. Word spread of the great dragonet fast, how much promise he showed. Just about everybody looked forward to the day of his coronation, though it was suspected it wouldn't be for some time. His parents were healthy and quite young, it would be a while until he came to the throne.

When Zyndir was just a boy, 168 (roughly equivalent to 16 in human years), his mother was afflicted with a strange, bizarre illness. An illness nobody knew the cause or solution for, an illness that vexed her health. The Queen was bedridden, insisting on quarantining for a time to ensure she was not contagious. From that point on, and even after her quarantine was relieved for her mental health's sake, Zyndir rarely ever saw her. Not out of choice, rather out of duty... and to prevent the heir from being possibly infected as well. Thus, did the entirety of dragonkind rest upon King Qadim's shoulders. No matter what Zyndir did, the burden never seemed to aleviate. His siblings all were far too young, some of them disabled and hindered in a way that the combination left them largely unable to help. Like chasing the sun, they could never reach tranquility in the castle. So, after two years of struggle, the anniversary of their beloved Dynasty fell upon them once more. Lights illuminated the city outlined against muted volcanoes, violet lanterns glowing against the rough surfaces of buildings around. Busy and bustling, the kingdom was filled with cheer. Even the Maleki family had found it in them to enjoy the holiday, even if exceptionally stressful in preparation. Zyndir had been disturbed by the rising of his mother, insistent on aiding them for this wondrous occasion, but had ultimately been forced into silence. To enjoy the festivities was their second priority, and their first being to ensure all went as according to plan as possible. They just had to hope the Queen did not cause... unneccessary problems. (TBC)

Sexuality

Zyndir is bisexual.

Education

Zyndir, being royalty, was highly educated. A lot of his studies focused on politics, but he had a great interest in criminology, and studied it on his own (very little) free time.

Employment

Zyndir had no prior jobs to being a King. Tradition says all royalty should take up regular jobs to learn and respect those who work them, but he was thrown into the role before he could do such a thing. His introduction to the throne was abrupt, sudden, and in the thick of chaos. Zyndir still takes every opportunity he can to learn about the other jobs, especially after the adoption of his son.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Zyndir has found himself with many achievements to call his own. Many of those achievements include bringing criminals to justice, flawlessly pushing and enforcing the law as well as strengthening the police force ranks, and of course the ones he dare not speak of aloud. That aside - Zyndir was responsible for the large majority of what makes the police force across the globe, especially Lumina and the Draigaral Dynasty's, as organized as it is today. He funded the restructuring of stations, support for crime investigations, and once upon a time even aided funding the companies scrambling to get back on their feet after he drove out the corrupted heads of the office.

Failures & Embarrassments

There have been no major failings in Zyndir's life as a king... as of the set year. But no king in the Dynasty ever has a serene life, especially not one where an executive decision has not left the people under their rule frustrated. Or, worse yet, enraged, rioting.

Morality & Philosophy

Zyndir looks at life at face value and can be rather pessimistic on his view in certain outcomes, much unlike those before him with their realist-optimist viewpoint, and especially unlike his father. He was not always this way, though, once upon a time he was raised with the same ideals and bright outlook as his father. That said, not all of it has changed - he clings to the idea of all life mattering, and upholds the same morals as he had when younger. He firmly believes in everybody being held to the same standards, the same morals, without exception. No amount of power, no matter its source, should

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

― His utmost desire is the continuation of world peace, alongside the preservation and perserverance of dragonkind. His family, many generations before him, had spent countless centuries building a kingdom. It has fallen upon Zyndir's shoulders to continue that, and he takes it in stride.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Zyndir has always been a natural born leader, and as such, he has many of the talents that are needed. Public speaking, especially, has been one of his grandest talents. He knows what to say, how to convince, how to sway an audience one way or another. To make a good point of his propositions is child's play for someone of his standing. Contrasly, though, put him in a situation where empathy is required, and you'll find him frozen with wide-eyed discomfort. That is not to say he's heartless, no, he simply... does not know how to handle emotional instances. He's always cared more for the facts rather than the feelings, disregarding his own emotional turmoil many a time for the sake of whatever may be important. As such, when somebody is in distress, you can guarantee his mind is racing to figure out who is closest that would be better handling the situation than he. At least he knows sensitivity is not his strong suit.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes ― Tea, solitude, being in control of situations, working (through and through workaholic here), researching, bird-watching, cooking.
Dislikes ― Minor inconveniences, especially preventable ones, humans (to an extent, he's fine with the majority), networking, waiting, volcanic eruptions, high expectations, unreasonable expectations, loss of control.

Virtues & Personality perks

― Zyndir is, and always has been, a very strong leader. Capable of making quick decisions, commanding groups no matter their size, taking into consideration every aspect, there's a reason those under his rule say they'd follow him to the ends of the planet. He's also incredible at keeping people in line, encouraging them to do their best and maintain consistency in their work. Much as he hates having to wait, and when inconveniences strike, he knows well when to be patient and understanding, courtesy to his experience with Kuraima.

Vices & Personality flaws

― At the same time, his strictness in his reign can at times be too constricting. Not necessarily purposefully, most of his encouragement involves intimidation as well, both due to the raw power behind him and how, for lack of a better word, brutally blunt he can be. In such cases, he's very lucky to have other, gentler leaders to lean on, such as Madam Zuey, Their Grace Ell, or even his son, Kuraima. He's also very lucky to have people like that to get him out of the many times he overworks himself, with his insistence that there is no time to rest.

Hygiene

― He has a reputation to uphold, he takes his hygiene and cleanliness very seriously. Both for himself, and for his palace. He greatly cherishes the work maids do.

Representation & Legacy

― TBA. He left one hell of a mark on the world, but it's 12am my brain's fried.

Social

Contacts & Relations

― Again, being not only a King but also affiliated with the Council, he has many contacts. His friends are few and far between outside of his job, but he has no shortage of professional contacts.

― He doesn't publicly affiliate with anything outside of Council organizations, however he has done much work with the Council's underground divisions, alongside anonymous work with others to get information. Then again, he partially does the latter to bring them to justice, so, does it count?

Family Ties

― Zyndir is one of the few remaining members of the Maleki family, the heritage that has held the crown ever since the founding of the Draigaral Dynasty. Being the oldest, despite only being roughly the human equivalent of 18 by the time his father - the former king - died, he was the heir to the throne. As of now, there are no members fit to be the next heir.

― While (shockingly) unrelated, he does have an adopted son, as prior mentioned multiple times, Unmei Maleki . Zyndir loves him to the ends of Unfao, and never would he trade him for the world, even knowing that in no way could Kuraima ever take up the role of King whenever Zyndir passes on.

Wealth & Financial state

― I think it goes without saying he's exceptionally rich. Nor does he leave his kind in the dust, either - he's very willing to give up his money to aid those in need. He has more than enough to sustain lifetimes, anyway.

Alignment

Lawful Good

Honorary & Occupational Titles

― He has many titles; Lord Zyndir, Overlord of the Dragons, and many other variations.
