TwinBragia

"I used to think dying a slow painful death in combat was going to be the worst that could happen to me, now I'm pretty sure it's being eaten alive by our monster of a Field Marshal." Imperial Dragoian Army soldier complaining about TwinBragia in private.
TwinBragia is a giant female Dragoian-Dragon Hybrid who is the Dragoian Imperial Army's Triumvirate member as well as holding the Dragoian Imperial Army's highest rank, Field Marshal.

==Overview==
Born in 1800 as a successful clone of an ancient Dralkyria. TwinBragia, despite being gigantic at birth as well as being a massive problem child, she was kept alive as a failsafe in case Project Dralkyria never produced another receptive subject. Even though Project Dralkyria turned out the receptive Seldragia Bles near the end of it's 60 egg run, TwinBragia was kept alive until scientists could be sure that Seldragia would not die due to the numerous failures up to this point. By the time the scientists were sure that Seldragia was not a doomed false hope, TwinBragia was too large and powerful to easily get rid off. Much like the other 2 official survivors, TwinBragia was named after the name etched on the Dralkyria Lance which carried the DNA of the Dralkyria she was cloned from, however due to the increased size of her ancestor's lance compared to all the others, the name was far more legible despite around 50,000 years of wear and was the only one translated correctly, including the name's unusual capitalisation.
While in the Project Dralkyria facility, she was fed any subject who did not fit the project's intentions (a pure blooded, fully receptive Dralkyria) after she bit a scientist's hand and ate it when he was trying to feed her, which seemed to calm the baby TwinBragia down for a few days. The scientists, while mortified by the cannibalistic qualities of the baby TwinBragia, were happy enough to use her as a convenient disposal method for failed subjects due to it leaving no evidence. After repeated incidents of the baby TwinBragia becoming more calm after eating Dragoian meat, the scientists would do their best to adjust the amounts needed to calm TwinBragia to their absolute minimum, but as the months of such feedings carried on they rapidly came to the realisation they didn't have enough failed Dralkyria clones to feed her. The solution they came up with was to feed parts of recently killed Dragoian prisoners to TwinBragia to sate her hunger.
Her hugely increased size compared to other Dragoians along with her hulking body has always made interaction with interior spaces a challenge, with even larger interior spaces providing a problem to her immense bulk while she was still a teenager, with typical single doorways becoming impossible for her to navigate and double doorways an awkward and embarrassing crawl. Buildings with overly grand architecture with high ceilings and oversized doors, such as the lower floors of the Imperial Castle, are some of the only interiors the adult TwinBragia could fit in somewhat comfortably. Her massive weight was also a limiting factor when it comes to interiors, but cropped up infrequently as being the main limiting factor preventing her access as her physical bulk often prevented her reaching interior locations with a less than solid floor.
Unlike the other 2 official survivors of Project Dralkyria, TwinBragia was never adopted by a noble house or by any one else, as while many of the scientists were proud of the technical knowledge that they'd worked on to create TwinBragia, not one of them was happy with the monster they had created with their somewhat inept parenting and choosing to feed her Dragoian meat. Much like the other 2 official survivors, she was kept in the Project Dralkyria facility until the age of 15 where she surprisingly developed a sisterly bond with the other 2 survivors despite her constant temper and generally rude nature. When it came time to send the other 2 survivors to the Imperial Military Academy, TwinBragia was sent alongside them despite her now immense size on the express condition she didn't kill any staff or students.
Sent to the IMA alongside Seldragia Bles and Dragyia Agthe in 1815. She was notorious for showing no outward efforts to study anything other than subjects related to performance on the battlefield and partially eating any student who irked her, much to the detriment of the poor students who had their limbs ripped off and devoured and the staff who knew they were powerless to stop this monster thanks to the 3 Dralkyria-Clones having royal protection which extended to their actions as well as concealing their performance from the masses. Classes TwinBragia was part of were exclusively assigned to classrooms on the first floor of the IMA's main building if the subject permitted it, as they were the only rooms in the IMA short of assorted halls that were the required combination of being large enough to fit TwinBragia in somewhat comfortably, having a sturdy enough floor to support her immense weight, and also be accessible to her for door related reasons. Upon graduation, TwinBragia was given the rank of Field Marshal as Seldragia's first act as Queen solely because TwinBragia would've been a massive problem otherwise, this was all despite the fact that TwinBragia was believed by all but a few of the Academy's leaders and Dragyia to be severely lacking in subjects that weren't about field performance.
Despite her rude mannerisms, callous disregard for others, monstrous appearance and frequently gruesome actions, TwinBragia is a surprisingly intelligent woman, being one of few people on Dragoia (Planet) that can even partially keep up with Dragyia. Her brutish appearance and actions are not an act however, and are more a case of many of her actions being driven by her miserable demeanour and her hunger.
==Appetite==
"I haven't had Female Dragoian for a long time. Shame you haven't bred yet, because Male Dragoians just aren't as tasty!" TwinBragia moaning to Seldragia Bles.
TwinBragia suffers from a condition she dubbed "Eternal Hunger", a condition that means she needs to regularly devour DragonKin meat to stop her from going into a crazed state in which she would devour any living thing in sight until she sated her hunger, a theory not even the scientists who raised her dared to fully test. She can easily devour over 20 Dragoians a day alongside many humans and will still constantly complain that despite her massive intake, she never feels full. Only on a day where she has devoured hundreds of DragonKin in a short period of time (e.g. an entire squad or village) does she ever feel like she may be close to feeling full. While stories told about her with the primary purpose to scare others embellish her eating habits by inferring that her more gluttonous sprees are her norm, it's considered an extremely rare day where TwinBragia doesn't eat a whole Dragoian and almost unheard of since her time at the IMA that she doesn't eat at least some Dragoian meat daily.
Despite this constant desire to devour people she often holds herself back, especially when around the Imperial City, devouring just the odd messenger (sometimes whole, sometimes just a limb) or prisoner. Her potential victims often have no idea whether her frequent threats to eat them are meant seriously or just to scare them.
Despite her preference of female Dragoian meat, she never thinks about devouring Seldragia or Dragyia. This is not due to fears the entire IDA would hunt her down for it, but because despite her often hostile remarks towards them, she considers both Seldragia and Dragyia her sisters, and would never think about devouring them, despite devouring her other "sisters" during her childhood.
==Reputation==
"Imperial Death Goddess has a nice ring to it. I will gladly accept that nickname." TwinBragia being told of the news that she had a nickname by Seldragia Bles.
TwinBragia's massive size, strength and generally poor attitude has earned her a feared reputation. Whether you are an Imperial citizen or soldier, or someone who dares oppose the Dragoian Empire.
To enemies of the Dragoian Empire, she earned the nickname "Imperial Death Goddess" due to the massive amount of death she leaves in her wake. Any attack TwinBragia is involved in ends up in an Imperial victory with any attackers dead or escaped in fear. TwinBragia is known to be the cause of most enemy deaths in these attacks with her personal squad serving mostly as a distraction. Lucky targets end up with many holes in them from either TwinBragia's GunLance or her massive Hydra Pistol, AKA Hydra Cannon. Unlucky targets end up being eaten alive or crushed by TwinBragia.
To those in the Dragoian Empire, she is portrayed as a mighty, fearless warrior who destroys any who oppose the Empire's might. However, anyone who has come into contact with her and survived would describe her as highly irritable, unjust, cruel, evil, gluttonous and monstrous. While Imperial media does it's best to cover her evil side up, many Imperial soldiers and civilians end up dead or heavily injured because of TwinBragia, whether by stray fire or because she was hungry and they were the nearest Dragoian.
Many soldiers in the IDA know of being posted to TwinBragia's squad, or delivering a message to her, to be an almost certain death sentence, as she rarely lets a messenger deliver her a message without performing a little torture on them. This light torture typically consists of ripping a limb off and then eating it. However, if the messenger took his time delivering his message, especially if that message was bad news, she often just swallows the unfortunate messenger whole. Her squad is considered a death sentence due to it's alarmingly high mortality rate, which is mostly due to TwinBragia not tolerating failure in those beneath her rather than battlefield injuries. Poor performance, which changes definition depending on TwinBragia's mood and how hungry she is, has lead to many soldiers in her squad becoming her next snack.
==Combat Style==
"I prefer my prey living, but when devouring them alive lets some escape, I would gladly shoot a few to make sure I get a bigger meal!" A young TwinBragia muttering to herself about how to get herself a bigger meal when on the battlefield.
If possible, TwinBragia will just grab and devour her foes, often chewing if she has time. Should she not have enough time to kill her foes with a method involving her maw, she will just flatten foes underfoot. If she isn't capable of getting close enough, she carries a over-sized Hydra Pistol known as the Hydra Cannon and a machine gun/cannon weapon known as the GunLance which gets it's name not from the typical Dragoian Anti-Tank Lance, but for it's resemblance in form and function to a Dralkyria Lance. The Hydra Cannon is typically used as an offhand weapon to shoot at foes while she devours other foes with her free hand. The GunLance is used only to deal with tanks or large numbers of foot soldiers at range.
The GunLance is not essential for TwinBragia to destroy a tank, as she is capable of physically doing crippling damage to even a Gigas Class Heavy Tank, being able to crush most armour plating in her hands, and when she can't, she will tear it apart at the seams. This typically takes longer than using her GunLance's cannon against non-Heavy tanks and vehicles due to the time taken to get to point blank range, so is rarely practiced, except when she wants to deal a massive intimidation blow.
She is also totally unconcerned with incoming fire, as her scales are tough enough to deflect light tank rounds without any armour, and when paired with her armoured uniform, which consists of higher purity Rare Dragoian Metal in it's construction than normal infantry armour, she can pretty happily shrug off anything short of the 600mm rounds used by the Gigas Class or the shells used by heavy artillery and naval cannons, these heavy direct hits will hurt TwinBragia, but are typically far from anything approaching lethal unless it's a direct hit. When paired with her rapid healing ability thanks to the sheer amount of RDM she devours on the typical battlefield, she recovers rapidly. TwinBragia's additional armour plating is made of the same armour plating as used on tanks, and covers her limbs to prevent any potential severing from a direct hit from a large shell. Such defences usually prove to be completely unstoppable by the typical anti-Imperial armed force who will typically lack any of the heavy firepower needed to truly injure TwinBragia.
