Bryce

Bryce wearing his police badge.

Bryce is the town's Chief of Police and a regularly recurring character in the main story. He attempts to enlist the player's help with investigations after the incident at the portal with Reza and Maverick.

## Personality

Bryce is a strong and caring dragon, who is dedicated to his work as chief of police and the city as a whole. He happily shoulders the weight of his post and does what he thinks is best for the city in whatever he does. He has become very popular among the locals who support him with great praise, and although he takes pride in these facts, he still frequently resorts to alcohol as a means of easing the stress and difficulties that come with his position. He is proud of his body, and typically wont hesitate to show off. He values friendship and loyalty above all else.

## Past

Bryce used to love playing "Explore" with his friends, the game consisting of everyone splitting, going exploring new places or locations and then sharing their discoveries, one day though, Bryce's friends had to stay in school longer, the bored and little Bryce went alone to explore an ancient cave system, it wasn't very complex, however the ground below him collapsed and he got trapped, trying to climb his way back, he fell and cut his snout with a rock, he was rescued and healed a few hours later.

Bryce got his neck scars when Miles bit him, he was saved by the confused young recruit Maverick who got traumatized after that case.
