• Basics

  •Common Name: Set
  
  •Full Name: Sethraktchon
  
  •Pronunciation: Seth-ROK-Ssh-On
  
  •Literal Translation: Eater of the faceless sin
  
  •Clutch Pacting Name/Family Designation: Calabarika Týrsis IX
  
  •Alias/Nick Names: The Destroyer, Dark one, Swamp devil. (These names were granted to him not by choice, but simply by those that had taken up residence near him at one time or another. Of course they did stroke his ego in just the right way as well)
  
  •Pet Names: None that have stuck, as of yet.
  
  •Species: Pure chromatic black dragon. Though depending on the form he has taken, he may also appear to be a dark wolf, for when a black dragon may not be the most....Welcomed sight...
  
  •Aura: Being a chromatic black, Set has a strong caustic physical aura. He often causes those with a more delicate palate to taste a thick metallic bitterness, due to the powerful acids at his core. To those with a gift more in tune with things largely unseen, the beast is surrounded by a chaotic torrent of darkness. A mix of incredible pain, unthinkable rage, and hollowness fueled by a fierce distrust. Aligned and sent to purpose by a twisted mind that lost it's battle ages ago to the atrocities he has endured.
  
  •Age: Among the most ancient of beasts. His bones would have been dust years ago, were it not for the interference of others, and twisted greed on his part.
  
  •Date Of Birth: Sometime within the fall, though it is beyond rare for him to celebrate, or even make note of yet another year rolling over.
  
  •Birthplace: Another realm. Any desire to see it again has been thoroughly snuffed out.
  
  •Blood: Corrupted and altered, his blood is as infected with the acidic nature as he himself is. Very few would ever suggesting drinking a black dragon's blood to start with, much less trying to draw it.
  
  •Relationship Status: Ever the hard one to chain down, Set keeps matters of the heart close to his chest. He will more often act cold and bitter toward others as a method of hiding any feelings, though a silver tongue can be known to make its appearance from time to time to get just what he wants.
  
  •Social Class: A mix of elevated society, and savage instincts. Set can be play the regal game, while at heart, he is little more than a soldier of instinct. He is far more comfortable surrounded by drink, fights, and the cheer of unplanned life without consequences.
  
  •Accepted Titles: Great, Lord, Sire, Master
  
  •Occupation: A purveyor of rare and particularly 'less than legal' goods of all sorts. Set has built a grand business off of supplying even the lowest members of societies with any items they are willing to pay for. Be it arms, drugs, or even lives, few things would make Set think twice, and even then, it would only be to calculate the markup.
  
  •Hobbies: Research - Set is at heart a scientist, always willing to analyze actions, responses, situations, and events as if all were a controlled experiment, each to be dissected and learned from. Of course that being said, he will often sow the seeds of chaotic interactions, simply to study the outcome.
  
  •Addictions: Drink - There is not a tavern in the world he could not sniff out, and the more mind numbing the drink, the more likely he is to be there.
  
  •Previous Occupations: Set has dabbled in many things over the years, from being a bodyguard, to running a siege workshop. Without a doubt, his most successful endeavor was as the Warlord of a mercenary band. He commanded the unit through might and ferocity for many rage filled years, earning him the calling 'The Great Destroyer' from those that knew him best.
  
  •Ethics: One might call his overall ethics very loosely based. After all, the rules of men have never applied to him, and even his own rules, all have exceptions.
  
  •Criminal Activity: Extensive knowledge base, mostly gained from practical application. He has incredible understanding of the workings of most criminal organizations, with his specialty being in black marketing, smuggling, and weapons trade. Poisons have always mixed his passion and pleasure to be the perfect avenue when able to deal in them.

• Physical

  As a dragon, Set has the power to dramatically change his appearance and scale into practiced forms. His true size and shape give him very few opportunities to stamp about anywhere but the farthest reaches of the wilderness. This of course forces him into far smaller forms, to maintain many of the daily operations he keeps his claws closely in. With such a varied profile of sizes, true physical stats will be given on the forms as they appear in their respective locations.
  
  •Dragon Forms: Listed on the "Upon" tab: A progression of four builds, each growing in mass, and intended function, yet still allowing him the ability to access most areas, at least in the smaller ones. The sizes, vary vastly in both power, and usability, leaving the smallest of them only to be used when feeling extremely safe with his surroundings, or in the comfort of those he trust most, unless required for some sort of deception.
  
  •Wolf Form: Listed on the "Forgotten" tab: Often chosen when wishing to hide his true nature, or when those of an area are likely to react with hostility to the presence of a black dragon. His actions differ greatly from normal when in this form, as the persona he plays is given a lot more freedoms, as to make it seem as if this form was in itself, a living breathing character. At the end of the day, and to the dismay of many, the same mind still powers the form and it's actions, and will often claw back just how far he will go.
  
  •Eyes: Despite the chosen forms, his eyes are forever willing to give him away at the drop of a hat. Save for a change for color in the wolven form; they remain a constant war of two hues, each battling the other for supremacy of the other. While in all dragon forms, the added effect of purple ethereal flames perpetually burning from any exposed portion does little to help hide his true identity.
  
  •Voice: Presenting a twisted mix of well spoken mannerisms crossed with guttural slang, the shrill sound is always sure to be kept low; either as whispers, or hisses, as his instincts drive him to remain as stealthy as possible, or to at least limit his business to those that are meant to hear it. From time to time, or with the right company, his voice has been known to let go of that beastial growl, and play true to the soft, sweet, soothing deepness that it is. Of course this if few and far between, as he wishes to present himself as the mostrosity that his kind is, for the sake of the business presence.
  
  •Scars: The creature carries more scars and marks than most would expect even a beast of war to encounter. Cracked and damaged scales littered his body, broken up only by the patches of burnt or bludgeoned ones. One never had to try overly hard to find a patch of him that was not stained from combat at one stage or another. By far the most visually striking would be a splintered web like scar over his heart that transcends any form he takes.
  
  
  •Current Wound State: Unwounded, though battered by a history of violence.

• Mental

  With Set, a true grasp on his mental ideals is as hard to chain down as he himself would be. With some forms, he masks not just his appearance, but his mental state as well. Ever aware of his actions, though like an actor to a role, his views may be skewed or altered completely by force to hide or deter any from knowing just what he's up to. As such, the following is best set guide line, that will paint a solid picture no matter the mask he wears.
  
  •Overall Personality: Sly, calculating, twisted, and the most unpredictable of beasts. His mind is often set on a profit, or whatever might lead him to his next fortune. Of course being at the helm of business, one must approach almost all situations expecting a variety of possible outcomes.
  
  •Overall Alignment: Chaotic evil, ranging to Chaotic neutral. Often times, he cares only about himself, and will let even an affront to all things evil, pass by without incident.
  
  •Overall Likes: Forests, swamps, the thrill of the hunt, silence, unimaginable wealth, drink, rotted meat, and collecting anything his mind deems the status of 'treasure' to.
  
  •Overall Dislikes: Large groups of strangers, green dragons, threats to his empire, and most of all anything unwilling to share his views in even the smallest of ways. Set has little time for single minded fools, as they are never of any use to even their own cause.
  
  
  
  Mental State: On the razor's edge of oblivion. War can break the mind, a lifetime of conflict, can break the soul.
