Drakni Faerrarl

"Why do they want me to mate? Being Heavyscale is a bloody curse, and they want more of them just so they have more foot soldiers like me?! I can't see the point of mating anyway, as long as 50% of Drakeians do it, our population will be stable, so why would I spread my corrupt genes by sharing my blood with some inferior being?" Drakni complaining in private.

==Overview==
Born in the nation of Draknia but abandoned at birth for being Heavyscale, Drakni was swiftly picked up by the military forces of Draknia and carted off to a military training facility, where she was named Drakni Faerrarl, with her first name being in honour of her country, and with the surname of the officer assigned to raise her, Heklana Faerrarl. Drakni was cared for by this facility and given instruction on how to care for herself alongside basic military training before being carted off to an elite military training centre at the age of 16. For the next 14 years, Drakni was trained to be the ultimate soldier, using the immense size and strength of a Heavyscale paired with elite training to become the ultimate killing machine.
After the intense 14 years of elite military training were complete, Drakni was given the rank of Colonel, and sent off to engage her nation's enemies in skirmishes which had being going on since before she was born. Drakni was originally doubted by her new squad due to her being new to a real battlefield, her glasses giving her a less threatening appearance, and the general idea that a Heavyscale's combat effectiveness was a myth. But the squad soon learned that while Drakni was new to the field, she could single-handedly decimate an entire enemy squad with relative ease. Drakni was aware of this and would often let her squad do some of her work in smaller skirmishes so that they didn't feel useless, understanding that sometimes the morale of the squad is more important than completing a task in the quickest and most efficient way.
Drakni despises males, seeing them as weak, small, and inferior to females in every way. This behaviour was partly influenced by her effective mother, Heklana, who had recently dumped her husband when Drakni was barely a child, and partly by her own personal experiences which reinforced the views she got from Heklana.
She quickly became a popular and approachable commander in her all-female squad, doing her best to keep her squad happy, including deliberately showing off to her squadmates who found her attractive. Her reputation with Draknia's military command was more varied, with her being popular due to her combat effectiveness, although outside of combat effectiveness she was considered a difficult officer to deal with, primarily due to her hatred of men and her outright refusal to take orders from one.
During 2024, Drakni was selected to wear an experimental personal shielding unit by a group of scientists from the Battleaxe Program as her strength and durability made her the perfect candidate to give it field tests, as her strength allowed her to carry the heavy unit without noticing it, and her durability ensured it wouldn't fall into enemy hands. Despite the extra weight of the shielding unit mounted between her wings, Drakni was still able to fight as well as she ever could, and even claimed to be better because she no longer had to watch her position as much as the shield, while weak, was powerful enough to slow down shots so they would just bounce off her heavy armour or dense scales.
==Sketchy Lifestyle==
*Due to being a Heavyscale, Drakni had to eat a large amount of DragonKin Base Metal, about as much as a small Drakeian, roughly every month to keep her strength up and stop her from dying. Drakni will only eat males and does so in secret, as cannibalism is illegal, despite being a trait in around 1 out of 10,000 Drakeian females. Despite filing a report on every Drakeian she devours, mostly criminals provided by the military or captured enemies, rumours have been spread that she devours whoever she wants and likes to pick men who look at her for her next meal.
*Due to her distaste in males, some Drakeians spread rumours that Drakni likes to torture males in various ways. Drakni has always denied that she tortures males, but makes it common knowledge that she hates men, seeing them as weak, small and inferior in every way to even the weakest females. This rumour tends to be spread by those who are scared of Drakni, but has also been spread by other men-hating Drakeian women who see Drakni as a role model and find the idea of her torturing men to be very attractive.
==Armour ==
Drakni's armour is based on typical heavy Drakeian armour, yet is thicker and made of a higher concentration of DragonKin Base Metal than normal Drakeian armour. The armour was adjusted in 2024 to contain the experimental personal shielding unit between the wing holes. While the armour looks clunky, most body joints are not covered in plate but are covered in thick fabric, allowing for mobility. As with all female Drakeian armour, the breast crack is left visible for both easy access to potential storage, but also to intimidate males and keep the body cool. The armour's angular and rounded plating paired with it's uncanny density helps deflect railgun rounds, however it is still capable of being penetrated by direct shots but will usually reduce their velocity to a point where Drakni's denser than normal scales can easily deflect them.
In terms of weapons capacity, the armour has a few benefits. Apart from mounting the standard weapon holstering clips and allowing for a pistol holster to be worn, the armour also allows for Drakni's broadsword, and has two wrist mounted railguns designed to fire custom explosive rounds rather than solid shots. The armour also mounts various leather ammo holding pouches to carry spare powerpacks and clips, as well as the wrist mounted railguns specialised explosive rounds.
The wrist mounted railguns are of similar calibre to the pistol, but fire a specialised cylindrical shaped-charge round designed to easily pierce light armour that normally defeats non-direct railgun shots (e.g. any heavy female Drakeian portable armour and light vehicle armour). However, unlike the pistol, the wrist mounted railguns can have their settings changed via a wrist mounted console which can select round velocity, fire delay (how long it takes for the weapon to fire after pressing the fire button) and also open/close the breach (due to the huge size of Drakni's fingers, and the small size of the breach). These railguns were specially requested by Drakni, who wanted the ability to reliably take out light armour at range without having to change weapons.
==Combat Style==
Drakni is well trained in all standard issue firearms used by Draknia, as well as her armour's wrist mounted railguns and a traditional Drakeian broadsword.
Despite all her training, her preference is close combat and she will often charge into battle, using her size, weight and strength to smash her way through her foes. Due to this, she favours the shotgun, leaving the Combo Pistol she carries as backup in it's holster. Drakni, unlike most other soldiers, carries a traditional Drakeian broadsword which she uses in close quarters combat to decimate foes using heavy, powerful, strikes with the purpose of either beheading her foe, or creating a huge bleeding wound. Despite her preferences for close combat, Drakni also always carries a GPW for when a charge is not useful.
If combat is expected to include armoured forces (such as tanks), Drakni will carry an Anti-Armour weapon in addition to her Shotgun, GPW, Pistol and Broadsword.
When a foe is the last one standing, she will normally perform a flashy execution for the morale boosting benefit to her squadmates in which she will grab her foe around their neck using her left hand, then impale the foe with her broadsword.
