## Intro

*"I was born a small halfling in a rather quite unpleasant childhood. I was born a twin to parents that would never see the history books. They where known as the halfling you would go to if your life problems where too hard. This is because they had become addicted to the local mushrooms. While me and my brother Perrin mostly looked after ourselves in the apple orchard close by. One frosty morning after realizing being the only sibling, I decided to escape the terrible living conditions with my brother. After a brief run in with the guards, to my surprise was able to cast a minor illusion to disguise me and my brother as gnomes. Making our way, finally we reached the High Kingdom of high-elves. Here my brother and I worked odd jobs around the town, until one day we were approached by a high-elf noble Princess Camila Goldpetal. She decided to adopt us. After many years, my magic became more prevalent and the golden scales shown as I began to cast spells. This upset my new mother overtime. From what I had gathered, my mother was a aspiring Wizard and resented that I had innate dragon magic abilities. Cherishing my brother (also a wizard) and shunning me, she sent me to work on the family sea vessel to learn discipline. Striking out after obtaining a few things from the family vault, I made my way to be a deck hand. Charisma and charm aside as days as a deckhand, I picked up a few tricks of my own namely the ability to beat nearly everyone at cards and board games while drunk. This is obviously due to my ability to use magic and charm my opponents. Now a days, I just search to become independent of my upbringing and find out where I truly belong."*

## Character Information

Drake hailed from the city Lothernreil where he came from a very large
political family. One of his reasons for his leaving is the fact his
mother forcing him from the family and sent him to work on the a ship
known as the Goldpetal. He speaks fluent in Common, Draconic, and
Halfling.

Often portrayed as quite friendly and harmless, he once tried to
charm a soldier and found himself paralyzed for up to four hours. He got
 himself into trouble as well by insulting a ship Captain in a tavern by
 referring to her as "Lady." He is incredibly too trusting.

To Drake he never has had a real home or family to call his own.
Most of the time going from town-to-town making enemies and causing a
ruckus. He desperately wants to be accepted. Therefore, when his
traveling party died or comes to hate him he tries his best to make him
well-liked. In all his buffoonery, he means well and wants the best for
himself and all of his companions.

Drake possessed an incredible amount of power in his little body
and is capable of annihilating large numbers of opponents very quickly.
He was very resourceful, having ways to burn, cut and and destroy those
around him.

After the events in a small village near a lake, Drake was framed
 for murderer he didn't commit. This caused him to start on an uneasy
footing with his new companions. It was even written down by a traveling
 Artificer at the time almost convincing himself he actually did it.

## Relationships

Drake has a strain relationship with his adopted mom Princess Camila Goldpetal. Drake has one twin brother named Perrin Appledore, a court
wizard. Perrin as wizard knows how to be contacted for information on
creatures and artifacts. Perrin is the head candidate for Drake's arcane
 school of magic Appledore's Academy. Later, possible the site of a
magic spell that can teleport Drake to during rest (similar to
Mordenkain's Magnificent Mansion). He is especially fond of a Half-Orc
named Goremash that acts as a Uncle to him. He lost a friend an ally
named Raz who was a Druid. He learn later that the druid was in fact his
 friend Benny the Bear, whom he fed a crumpet to after first meeting. He
 also had a run in with a Drow women at the port after bounding off the
Goldpetal. Here he met the mysterious Drow women (Necromancer) and
agreed to help her find her "Friends." This is how he met Goremash the
Half-Orc War Chieftain. After one night of being put to sleep by a Orc
named Ruckus, he had a dream that he transverse a great library. He came
 to the point in the dream in which he viewed a sleeping Beholder named
Magnus. Surrounded by black tentacles whipping everywhere. As the
tentacles lashed out, Drake felt a burning pain in his chest. He needed
to help this sleeping beholder but didn't know why. He felt bad that
Magnus's slumber was so deep and unrestful. When Drake woke, on his
chest was a arcane focus of a neckless of an eye glowing green. He also
lost his desire to cause trouble and and a deep desire to seek out
knowledge.

Goldrinth: Golden Dragon that gives Drake Appledore his power.

Thia: She is a Drow necromancer that gave Appledore his first quest in a new land. Master Appledore friendly nature allowed him to trust her in finding her "friends" in a crypt. He met her when he bounded off his family ship the Goldpetal at the port.
