Yuki Licentia

Unlike most adventurers, Yuki was not born on Aera. Instead, the young half-dragon was born, like most half-demons, in one of the many layers of the Abyss. Not every corner of the chaotic plane is filled with danger and evil, however, and it was in one of those rare, few safe places that Yuki's family lived and raised the young dragon and his siblings. And unlike most dragons, Yuki's demonic blood is strong enough that, while he retains a draconic form, his natural one resembles a demonic humanoid with dragon-like horns.

## History

While his formative years were spent in a largely human city, Yuki's family, for a number of reasons, retreated from the material plane when he was very young. For more than half of his life, the young dragon spent his time exploring the chaotically changing mountains that surrounded his home, most of his socializing happening with his family. As much as he loves his parents and aunts and siblings, however, tales of adventure stayed with him and inspired him. And on his sixteenth birthday, he felt a power radiating from a black blade his mother had long kept as a trophy. Though the blade's power had diminished to practically nothing, it still called to him and he felt something in him answer back. From then on, while he'd been receiving martial and magical training even as a small child, his efforts redoubled, learning how to manipulate space and dimensions with an innate understanding that surpassed his lessons as it was a talent that came to him naturally until finally on his 20th birthday, he got his parents' blessing to strike out on his own and carve his own heroic tale. Luckily, an innate understanding of portals and dimensional travel helped him locate a natural, albeit temporary, portal to the Material Plane, and upon stepping through, Yuki found himself in a quiet forest not far from the city of Edyn.

## Personality

Yuki is headstrong and stubborn, perhaps to a fault, but in spite of his fiendish heritage, his heart is still that of a living, feeling creature. A dragon's heart beats loud and proud, and his is tempered by compassion. Proud of his parents and his heritage, he embraces his demonic half openly, and though he some times feigns being aloof in an effort to look cool, a trait visible in his preferred choice of appearance in black armor with a flowing cape, foregoing a helmet to display his horns. Still, he can't stand to ignore a cry for help or a pleading look and usually can't keep up the mysterious dark knight act for very long. Being half-succubus and half-dragon, he's perfectly happy to make it clear when he wants something and do what it takes to make that something his, but isn't cruel or devious enough to hurt anyone in his efforts to claim a prize.

## Abilities

Having been trained in both martial and magical combat by his family, all of whom were significantly more powerful than the child he was at the time, the first thing Yuki learned was how to endure a hit and keep standing. Finding a natural preference for the sword, Yuki supplements his defense with a shield, knowing how to let it take the blows for him as needed. And though he rarely changes into his draconic form, he can as needed. His most powerful skills, however, come with his ability to manipulate dimensional matter, allowing him to easily teleport from one place to another, to rip open portals that bend space, and to fire powerful blasts of void energy or even empower his blade in the same manner.
