Name-- Ulrik Ebonaurea
Race-- Human
Gender-- Male
Alliance-- Empire
Place of Birth-- Small village outside of Uru-Baen
Age-- 28
Facial Description-- Square-jawed with long, wavy dark red hair and grey eyes. His hair stops just above his shoulder blades. His nose looks like it may have been a cute button nose, but now shows evidence of having been broken once as it is slightly crooked. His eye shape is actually similar to an almond shape, but they stretch outward just a little too much to be really considered almond shaped. His lips are thin, but not quite to an unnattractive degree.
Body Description-- Short and fit. Standing at only 5' 8", Ulrik weighs about 150 lbs. He is fit but by no means a body builder. He has fair skin, and almost no ability to tan at all.
Clothing Description-- He is typically seen in a blackened chainmail hauberk with black dyed studded leather pants, boots, and gauntlets. His helmet is blackened steel and open-faced. Certainly not the best armor as far as defensive purposes goes, but it is light and does not hinder his speed or movement. His civilian clothes vary, but typically seen in a dark red tunic (some copper-colored trim) with black cotton pants and dark brown leather boots. They are not the same as his battle boots.
Weapon Description-- He carries two, but he is efficient with four different weapons. The two he carries is a dagger that has a straight blade and a black, typical dagger handle. His other that he carries is a sword, a dragon rider's sword that never rusts or dulls. The blade has serrated edges just in the middle, if you were to 'cut' the blade into thirds. The handle is also black, with crossguards that slope in a loose "V" rather than straight across. It is a one-handed sword, good for fast strikes. Ulrik is also efficient with halberds and lances, both of which he has at his house just in case. His lance is an unsettling dark red, but otherwise looks like a typical lance. His halberd, honestly, is nothing special, just a typical looking halberd.
Preferred Fighting Style-- Sneak-N-Slit, but able to fight "honestly" as well.
Magic User?-- Yes. All of his visible magic is dark red.
Personality-- Good luck trying to figure this guy out. Ulrik seems to be a happy, care-free person despite his tendencies to stay quiet in the presence of new people or large groups. He has a decent sense of humor and can laugh at himself almost at any time. It's almost as if he has a split personality, as he can change from being the happy, relaxed person his friends know him as, to a hard, stern, rage-aholic when the need calls for it. He has no personality disorders, but in fact has an astonishing ability to react very quickly to new situations, and most of the time, react appropriately. You can call it his gift.
History-- Obsessed with dragons at a young age, Ulrik had always wanted to be a rider. Luckily for him, the egg chose him at the age of fourteen, and he was given the dragon he now calls Ruagbakul. He had no clue what the name meant or why he liked it. He felt like it was a name a wild dragon would have, since it sounded like a noise a dragon might be able to make. Ulrik had an unusual name for a human, but only because his parents were fascinated by dwarves and their secretive culture. As soon as he was old enough, he joined the Empire's army, and has had every intention to keep the peace. Lately, however, there has been stirrings in his thoughts... He has begun to question the empire and himself the more he remembers learning about Alagaesia's history. He keeps his thoughts to himself and stifles them most of the time. Most of the time....
Likes-- Joking, Eavesdropping, Sneaking around, Riding Ruagbakul (or Ruag), Chilling with ladies, Educating others, sparring.
Dislikes-- Others sneaking up on him, Seeing Ruag in a bad mood, Feeling like he's not in control, Being Woken Up (even though its certainly part of his job).
Strengths-- Sneaky. Fit. Clever. Excellent rider (horses and dragons). Quick. Adaptable.
Weaknesses- Small. Lacking in Strength. His Dragon. His Friends. His Family. His recent internal struggles.
Family and Relationships-- His mother is named Emileah (Emil-Lee-Uh, not like Amelia), and his father is named Rowan.
Goals-- Assist the Empire. Be Remembered After Dying. Eventually Start a Family.
Fears-- Internal Conflict Interfering with his job. Slow, agonizing death. Failure. Public Speaking.
Name-- Ruagbakul
Coloring-- Various shades of the darker reds.
Detailed Description-- His face and body shape are no different than any other male dragon's from the inheritance cycle. He is a fit dragon. His chest and belly plates, and the broader scales on the front of all four of his legs are the darkest of reds, looking black under dull light. His wing membrane is also slightly darker than bits of his body, but his body scales, from nose to tail, are splashed, dappled, and scattered with medium red and dark red scales. His eyes are a much brighter red than his body, with red-orange around his black pupils. His spikes, teeth, and claws are slightly yellowed.
Age-- When the egg was laid is unknown, because Ulrik never asked. The egg hatched when Ulrik was 14. Ruagbakul himself is 14 years old.
Likes & Dislikes-- Ruagbakul likes his rider, most of the company his rider keeps, horse flesh, flying for long periods of time, and sleeping in the sun. He doesn't like thunder storms, having to wait on someone, or people who talk too loudly.
Goals & Fears-- Thinking or planning ahead is not typical of this brash creature, but his goals are simply to protect his rider, protect what is important to his rider, and eventually chase down a mate of his own. He fears losing his rider, failing his rider, and dying alone.
