Micas

Micas is a brass scaled dragonborn. She is a Level 3 Swarmkeeper Ranger, whose favored weapon is a longbow. Micas was not raised among a real society of dragonborn, and her personal goal is to learn more about her origins and the culture of her people. She studies at Wir Academy as a Ranger and hopeful expert on biology and magical creatures. She acquired a small lizard as a pet, named Gretzky.

Micas is left-handed.

## Early Life

Micas was hatched in the wilderness, the youngest of 10 that all hatched within two years of each other. The only adult dragonborn the 10 had around was a brown colored dragonborn named Isthasy. Isthasy took a very hands-off approach to the young dragonborns, and had little involvement in Micas's upbringing. The oldest, green dragonborn Inkeserik, was too busy keeping an eye on the older rowdier siblings to give Micas much special attention. As such, Micas spent a lot of time on her own, watching or entertaining herself. She often chased butterflies and other small creatures, earning her the nest nickname "Butterfly." The second youngest, black dragonborn Farjeth, took to tormenting Micas by catching small creatures and killing them in front of Micas. Most of it went unnoticed to the other siblings. Micas quickly developed the coping mechanism of spacing out, her eyes glazing over and her brain omitting things she did not want to see. Through this, Micas has little memory of her early childhood, with the exception of the survival skills that were the group's habits and routines. Their other siblings began to think her mentally slow due to the frequency of this coping mechanism.

## Pre-Wir Years

When Micas turned 5 years old, having the equivalent physical maturity of a 13 year old human, Isthasy left the siblings to fend for themselves, instructing them only to stick together. In the splitting off that followed, Micas was universally abandoned. She did her best to survive on her own, and stumbled upon a Halfling farm. The young husband and wife were alarmed at first, but quickly took her in, realizing the potential to gain. They taught Micas how to speak and write in Common and Halfling, in exchange for her services around their farm. Much of what Micas did for them was security, standing around and looking intimidating, and fending off the occasional trespasser. They also taught her their faith to the god Yeeeee. Not long after, the Halflings had their first child, and Micas took on more trust and responsibility. The husband taught Micas their trade; growing, extracting, and refining drugs. Micas stayed around to help the farm for a few more years, until a group of Elven Rangers passed by. Micas jumped on the chance to travel onward, and once swearing secrecy and loyalty to them, was sent on her way.

The rangers taught Micas to speak some Elvish, and found she was a natural at many basic ranger skills with her familiarity with surviving in the wilderness. Micas grew closer to one in particular, who taught her how to shoot a longbow. This elf told Micas about a nephew who had recently graduated from Wir Academy, a place of learning. Micas decided to go there, to see if she could learn, among other things, about dragonborn.

## Wir Academy

Micas applied to and was accepted into the Wonderful Awesome Persons (WAP) program at Wir Academy, alongside Bats, Eusebios, and Theytuk. The four are roommates there, and met at Orientation. The WAP advisor, Jennyweed, told them everything they needed to know, and continues to look out for them. When signing up for classes, Micas saw that one of the professors was a dragonborn, Daxos, and tried to get into every one of his classes. While initially admitted into one, alongside other Ranger and first-year classes, an incident with a Wir guard led to Micas being kicked out of that class.

### Minor Scandals

#### Wir Guard Bite incident

On the Saturday before classes began, Micas and the WAP program joined a Death Ward Duel tournament. Micas climbed to the top of the losers bracket. In the second to last match, Bats v. Kaiden, Micas spat flame breath into the arena despite knowing she was out of range. A Wir guard came over to her and put a hand over her mouth to stop her. Micas, already in a fit because of the NAP students' rudeness, bit his hand. The guard knocked her out and dragged her away, restraining her for an audience with Admin Wir to determine the consequences. Bats and Eusebios came after her once the duel was done, and argued her case to Wir. Wir punished Micas by removing her from her class with Daxos. Wir killed and ressurected Jennyweed to make an example. Micas was astonished that her punishment was not worse, and prescribed herself to skip meals for a few days in guilty retribution.

#### Arrow-Letter Miscommunication incident

On the first day of classes, two days after the Wir Guard Bite incident, Micas went to the building with Ranger classes early to find her room and to see if Daxos was around. To her immense luck, a classroom door was open, and Daxos was teaching. Micas had written a letter the previous day, and tied it to one of her arrows. Micas shot this arrow into the classroom to the far wall, where it would not hit anyone. Daxos reacted quickly, warning the students to take shelter, thinking the building was being attacked. Micas knew much more quickly this time that she had messed up, and immediately crouched to the floor with her hands on her head as she was approached by Wir guards from both sides. Jennyweed came upon them quickly, and got the truth of the matter. Jennyweed de-escalated the situation, taking Micas's arrow from the wall and handing it to Daxos. Micas was quiet for the rest of the day, and resolved to keep her self-punishment up for the rest of the week. It ended only when Eusebios confronted her about it, and Theytuk forced a piece of peanut butter toast into her mouth.

Glynfaren becoming Drow

When the Kulani twins came to Wir Academy, the WAP program was forewarned that, unless stopped, there would be a meteor strike to wipe out the Academy, and WAP would go their separate ways. Micas threw out the idea to seduce the twins to learn of their plans. No one responded, and Micas took that as a 'go'. It did not go well, and the twins knocked her out and kidnapped Glynfaren. WAP made a plan and gave NAP the opportunity to save her, but not before Glynfaren had been force-fed a potion to turn her into a drow. The NAP program, especially Kaiden, blamed Micas for enabling this 'tragedy' to happen, and blatantly refused to extend Theytuk some empathy for having lived through the same situation.

## Personality

[WIP]

Micas has a bad habit of making bad decisions, often of the impulsive nature. This always comes around to bite her in the ass, and often negatively impacts her teammates as well.

Micas believes in the blanket-with-holes theory of the stars, and has made a bet with Eusebios. When he has enough magical skills to get them up to the top of the sky and back down safely, they'll see wether it's a blanket or if it's rocks and things like Eusebios and his "astronomers" think. Eusebios will poke a new hole in the sky and bring Micas back a piece, if it exists.

Micas is also lowkey a flat earther.

## Relationships

### Bats

Micas and Bats hit it off immediately, as the two share an excitable nature. They excel especially in improvising elaborate secret handshakes. The two are the most likely to make an impulsive decision, and should not be let out of sight when there is money involved. Bats is a passionate supporter of Micas, defending her missteps as cultural clash.

### Eusebios

Initially, Micas thought Eusebios was a dragonborn like her, but quickly realized this was not the case. Micas has taken initiative to teach Eusebios how to take care of himself, most notably his scales and his teeth. Eusebios has already proven to be a caring ally, staying up when Micas was out late and being the first to confront her about her self-inflicted starvation punishment.

### Theytuk

Theytuk initially seemed cold and uncaring, but Micas quickly warmed up to her as Theytuk showed an unconventional and slightly forceful form of care, most notably by forcing her to eat peanut butter toast after a week of self-imposed punishment. Micas is understanding of Theytuk's tendency to stay a distance away from the group, and feels guilty that it is due to Micas's actions giving the WAP program a bad reputation.

### Jennyweed

Micas grew attached to Jennyweed quickly because of her nickname, Weed. It became clear that Jennyweed was taking severe punishment for the WAP program students' missteps, and Micas became immensely guilty for being the only one who seemed to be having problems staying out of trouble.

### Daxos

Daxos has not yet seemed to have laid eyes on Micas. It is unknown if he is aware that there is a dragonborn student at Wir. Not much is know about him, besides that he is an experienced Ranger, and professor at Wir Academy. Micas sent him a letter, but as of one week later, has not recieved a reply. Despite all this, Micas sees him as the only possible source of information for what a "real" dragonborn is like. His response, if it ever comes, will completely shape Micas's sense of identity as a dragonborn.
