## Backstory

### Early Life

Drakius was born in 72 AGW to Kraen and Aria Kaltaris. Aria unfortunately died in childbirth. Kraen trained Drakius from the age of three in swordplay and hand to hand combat. Kraen trained Drakius because he believed that the Voltaris would return, and he wanted his son to be well prepared.

#### Kraen’s death

At the age of thirteen Drakius was given a weapon by his Kraen. This weapon, a battlestaff bladed with diamond, was made by Kraen for his son. Soon after this Kraen went with Zulius and Thalleous to hunt a group of Voltaris and was shoved of a cliff and fell to his death.

#### Drakius’ adoption

Not long after Kraen’s death Zulius Kaltaris returned home from battle and found Drakius alone and fatherless. Zulius took pity on the young child and adopted Drakius, with some reluctance from the child.

#### Training with Zulius

As soon as Zulius adopted Drakius, Zulius continued the child’s training started by Drakius’ father. Under Zulius, Drakius learned many things not just about fighting but about the world outside of Kaltaria. Drakius was never very good at politics and preferred to settle things with action rather than words.

#### Drakius’ first song

Drakius received his first song, Mobilibounce, from Zulius at the age of twenty one but it took him another couple of months to learn how to use it and several years to master it.

#### Drakius Finds Proteclone

When he was twenty three Drakius snuck away at night to explore and found a cave. He explored the cave and found a Protisium song. Mesmerized he walked closer to grab it but set off a pitfall trap. Luckily he had mastered Mobilibounce and easily recovered and grabbed Proteclone before leaving.

### Coming of Age

Several weeks after Drakius found proteclone, Zulius decided that Drakius was ready to take a on his first mission. Zulius sent Drakius to find three Voltaris who were seen in the area and kill them. Drakius accepted this task readily and set out that night.

#### Finding Rey Mendoris

Drakius found Rey Mendoris while he was hunting for the Voltaris. Rey had set up camp and was just going to sleep when Drakius jumped out seeing the Voltaris behind her. The Voltaris attacked and Rey, quickly realizing that she was under attack, struck back at them along with Drakius. Together they overcame the Voltaris and with his mission complete Drakius departed next morning. However Rey, intrigued and unoccupied, accompanied Drakius and returned with him to Kaltaria.

#### Meeting Thalleous

During their journey home, Drakius and Rey met Thalleous Sendaris, who knew about Drakius’ mission. Thalleous had previously met Drakius on a visit to Zulius, however Rey was new to him and he eagerly talked to her and learned where she was from. She, some what suspicious until Drakius assured her Thalleous was trustworthy, Hesitantly revealed she was from Crown Peak.

#### More Training with Zulius

For the next Twenty years Drakius and Rey trained together with Zulius, went on several missions together, and eventually became married. During this time Rey gained a few of her songs including Supporomind and \*Agressium song\* .

### Meeting Ingressus

Drakius met Ingressus Voltaris when he and Senn were captured and brought to Hailstone. There they were personally interrogated by Ingressus. Upon Drakius’ turn Ingressus was originally going to execute Drakius until upon further interrogation Ingressus learned that Drakius’ aunt was Zinia Voltaris, Ingressus’ long dead wife. Upon realizing that Drakius was his nephew, Ingressus let Drakius leave. The young Ardoni refused to leave however, and insisted Ingressus teach him more.

#### Ingressus’ Training

After Senn traveled back to the Knights of Ardonia, Drakius stayed with Ingressus to be trained. Afterwards he became significantly stronger but not yet as powerful as Ingressus. He also learned of Ingressus’ past and upbringing but said nothing to the others when he returned, at the request of Ingressus.

### Joining Voltaris

At the end of the second great war Drakius was one of the first Ardoni to side with Senn and except the Voltaris back into the other Ardoni clans. Soon after Drakius requested to become Voltaris, in honor of his uncle, but also wanted to stay a member of the Kaltaris clan. To solve this problem The master of the Kaltaris and Senn Voltaris both initiated Drakius into both clans at the exact same time.

## Personality

Drakius is highly overconfident which sometimes leads to him taking on opponents that are to strong for him leading to his defeat. He is also very quirky and at times can be childish, often cracking jokes in an attempt at making others laugh, which he says is one of his main goals in life. Because of this he is often not taken very seriously but he can be very serious when the time comes. He is very outgoing which makes it easy for him to make friends. Drakius is very musical and will often whistle or softly sing songs he likes. He also tends to spin his staff randomly because he thinks it’s fun.

## Skills and Abilities

### Swordsmanship

Drakius, while good with a sword, was much better with staffs and spears. He often spins his staff before a battle in an attempt to intimidate his enemies which often works on weaker opponents. Drakius is a very good fighter and is almost as good as Tidesinger and would easily hold his own in a fight against the legend although eventually he would tire out and lose. At the peak of his ability (after Ingressus trained him) he could theoretically beat Tidesinger about half of the time.

### Technique

Drakius puts more emphasis on defense and acrobatics blocking and spinning until he finds an opening. He doesn’t use any kind of mind games but stays focused on the battle. He often uses his anger and the heat of battle to his advantage, which gives him an edge the the weak find hard to cope with. In hand-to-hand combat he uses his legs, specifically his knees, a lot as well as his fists and elbows. Drakius’ signature move is to grab a punch and twist it behind his opponent in a headlock.

### Weaknesses

If a battle goes on for to long Drakius will grow tired, because of this Drakius tries to end battles as quickly as possible. He also sometimes overuses songs, this also makes him tire faster. Drakius is also arachnophobic.

### Songwielding

In battle Drakius use’s his favorite song, Mobilibounce, the most, followed by Proteclone. Drakius uses Aggrovortex for ranged and sneak attacks as well as in combat to keep enemies at bay. He only uses Supporekisis for manual labor or in sometimes to throw things.

## Weapons

### Battlestaff

Drakius’ staff was made for him by his father.

### Knife

Drakius uses his knife for things such as hunting and throwing.
