==Description==
Saxor is primarily a black and white dragon, with the black being broken up by different bits of white. From his nose to the center of the back of his neck, is a streak of white scales.

His horns are mostly black and fades into white towards the tips. His cheek and neck spikes are all white. He has bold white lines that divide his jet black undersides from the sides and back of his neck. His neck scales are pronounced, with little white markings as well. His neck scales also fade from black to while, moving to the center of his back. There's also a long scar that runs from his upper neck and travels down to his lower chest. His wings are black, with the underside membranes being white. His eyes are a teal blue.
== Lore ==
Saxor hasn’t exactly had the easiest of lives. Born into a military family, his upbringing was very strict and disciplined. His father, a Drachenshire Defense Force (Army) First Sergeant and veteran of several Exterminator skirmishes, maintained the household like his own troops. Saxor’s mother, an army Captain, worked in medical for Drachensire’s Defense Forces. Saxor doesn’t have many fond memories of his father, only recalling how stern he was and the countless nights he’d get hammered due to repeat PTSD episodes. His mother was absent a lot too, though she tried to show Saxor some motherly love when possible. When Saxor was just 7 years old, his father was called up to aid in another offensive against the Exterminators, but would never return. Not even his remains were found, as the Army had suffered many casualties in the offensive. Saxor’s mother mourned for just a week before regaining her composure. She lost herself in work for a few months, before Saxor began begging for some love and attention, as his needs were being regularly ignored. He wouldn’t get much of it though, as he would be enrolled into a military school.
His mother worked hard to sustain them both, as military pay wasn’t the best, and the hours in the medical clinic were long and arduous. There was also the issue of the Army not providing its “KIA Support Funds” like they pledged they would. Regardless, Saxor stayed very busy with his schooling, showing a knack for combat tactics, discipline, and even some leadership qualities, at his young age. But where he excelled at military subjects, he struggled in general education. When Saxor was 12, his mother was promoted to Major and made the switch over to Admin, as she had grown tired of the lack of care for families of deceased soldiers in Drachenshire, her own family included. Saxor meanwhile, continued to show great promise to his instructors at the military academy. While he still struggled with some of the more generic topics, like math and writing, his understanding of battle planning, tactics, military history, and overall military bearing, put him in the spotlight regularly.
When Saxor was 17, life threw him another curveball. His mother had done an excellent job at getting the frozen KIA funds to the families that deserved them, much to the Defense Force’s various higher-ups' dismay. She had even revealed that a number of the commanders had been siphoning the KIA funds into personal endeavors, which got a few of them fired. Saxor meanwhile, was on track to graduate within the top 5% of his class, having worked hard to overcome his challenges with the general education subjects. His instructors heaped high praise upon him, so much so that he was asked to speak at the graduation by the Academy's Commandant. Tragedy would strike however, as just days before Saxor’s graduation, his mother passed away in her office at work. Foul play was suspected, as she had made a number of enemies during the KIA fund debacles. However, investigations determined she had been poisoned, though by whom remained unknown. Saxor would not attend his graduation, instead setting about helping plan his mother's funeral. She was given a military burial and was posthumously promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.
Saxor wasn’t given much time to mourn though. The Defense Force, not wanting to lose one of its top candidates, immediately called Saxor into service once he turned 18. Despite being emotionally compromised, he finished his basic training top of his class, even though he had gotten into a handful of skirmishes with others in his group. His leaders called the defeated dragons weak and cleared Saxor of any wrongdoing. Upon reporting to his new unit, his Commander gave him a series of missions against the Exterminators for the next several years, ranging from assassinations, to capture missions, and even spearheading some large-scale advances against Exterminator forces. Saxor completed each assigned mission with great precision and minimal casualties, allowing him to reach the rank of Staff Sergeant at the age of 21. The Defense Force had created a killing machine, yet one that cared deeply for his troops. The perfect soldier.
Saxor’s bold confidence would later take a hit. During the siege of Mythralien, Saxor participated in two major battles, the Battle of Hamel and the Battle of Menningrove. The Battle of Menningrove went smoothly for Saxor and his unit, completing their missions with the precision and lethality expected of his strike group. However, the Battle of Hamel would prove to be a different case. Saxor was given the mission to take out an Exterminator HVT. Saxor led his platoon into a deep push against a particularly elite unit of Exterminators to reach their objective. The Exterminators had learned of Saxor’s tactics by this time and had prepared an ambush deep within their lines. Saxor’s platoon handled the expected resistance with ease, pushing toward their objective, an Exterminator outpost. Upon arrival, Saxor saw that the intel provided on the outpost was horrendously wrong, part of the trap laid by the Exterminators. Saxor’s troops, still high off of battle rage, insisted they could take the outpost. Saxor performed some quick recon, before determining they could still complete their objective. The outpost proved to be a death trap. While Saxor went to take down the HVT, a particularly nasty Exterminator Captain, his platoon set about fighting and maintaining an escape route. Saxor would be ambushed by the Captain and his guard, while two-thirds of Saxor’s troops would ultimately perish to Exterminator reinforcements, which had remained hidden to the west of the outpost. Saxor barely survived his encounter, suffering deep lacerations across his chest and neck area, though ultimately besting the Captain and his guard through sheer strength and ferocity. Saxor cut off the Captain’s head and applied some self-aid to stop his wounds from bleeding. Upon exiting the command center, Saxor showed the head to the remaining Exterminator forces. The Exterminators ceased hostilities, and news rang out that the leader of the Exterminator forces had been defeated. The battle had been won, but Saxor’s confidence had taken a huge blow. When Defense Force reinforcements arrived, Saxor was seen looking over the body of a fallen comrade, his second in command. When medics came to attend to him, Saxor passed out, due to grief and blood loss.
After the Battle of Hamel, Saxor was put on a year-long mandatory leave so he could recover both mentally and physically.  After only 3 months though, Saxor demanded he be put back into the line of duty. He was never truly the same as before though, often questioning plans and being overly concerned about his troops, to the point they felt uncomfortable. His leaders sidelined him after concerned requests started coming in about his behavior. Saxor began taking to the bottle, in an attempt to drown out his disturbed conscience. Eventually, some of his buddies took him aside and began helping him recover from his alcoholism.
In the present day, Saxor is one of the finest warriors in both Drachenshire and Draconia as a whole. Saxor has become well known in Drachenshire for his admirable actions during those legendary battles, along with countless other operations. At 29 years old now, he’s become more decorated than many of his superiors. He has achieved more kills than any dragon in the current era of conflict as well. Saxor's superiors have offered various promotion opportunities, some even involving taking over command of entire companies, yet he has opted to remain a Staff Sergeant within his original unit, which has taken over special operations. As he puts it, “I live for the front lines of battle.” Saxor is currently in line to take over command of his unit though, whether he wants to or not.
==Behavior==
Before the Battle of Hamel, Saxor's behavior was that of a young and elite soldier. Despite having suffered the loss of his family, the Defense Force had given him a new family, one he intended to impress. He was extremely disciplined, yet still personable, and got along well with his fellow comrades. He was blunt and a straight shooter, caring little for leadership jargon and indecisiveness. He got along best with superiors who put their men first and understood what they were capable of. He found bliss in the chaos of war. He cared deeply for those under his command, making it a point to bring them home alive. As time went on, he grew evermore confident in his abilities.
After the Battle of Hamel, Saxor’s confidence and behavior changed. He started becoming unsure of himself, after having lost so many men. The alcoholism only fueled his already unstable mind, leading him to become explosive and violent over minor things. When he was sidelined from combat it only grew worse, as he felt like he was useless and a burden. It wasn’t until a night out with some buddies where he attempted to suddenly commit suicide, that he finally started getting the help he needed.
Presently, Saxor is back to his usual self, an elite and disciplined soldier. He’s very loyal to those he feels like he can trust, and will fight to the bitter end for those he cares about. Be that as it may, he is still known for explosive outbursts from time to time at the bar if he’s had a little too much to drink. His favorite drink is called “Serpent’s Delight,” a particularly potent concoction that can get even the strongest of wills drunk after a glass. There have been other days where he is seen sobbing in the back corner of the bar, though those are far and few in between. Saxor has been seen at the “Pools of Pleasure” as well. Since he is a young and heroic soldier who’s single, Saxor knows he can get with just about any dragoness he wants. Despite that, the thought of settling down with someone has begun crossing his mind. But it would have to be someone who can handle all of him.
