Cade

Cade is young dragon with an unquenchable thirst for all that is riddles, curiosities, and thrills. He's one of the largest life form alive during the present age, but he does not posess any magic. He is currently on a quest to find out the truth about the history of dragonkind, all while figuring out his own deadly secrets.

## Abilities

Cade, like most dragons, can fly (though quite badly) and is incredibly strong - he's able to effortlessly lift objects that weigh over 5 tons off the ground. He has three pairs of arms and talons, and possesses five claws on the first pair (with opposable thumbs) and 4 on the other two.

He's unable to breath fire, but he doesn't know why. Instead, his breath weapon is darkish-smoke that can make breathing difficult is inhaled in large quantities. Cade can accidentally inhale it himself, and it has caused him to pass out a few times.

As a dragon, he cannot be poisoned, and is immune to most mortal diseases. However, he is still vulnerable the effects of incantations, enchanted artifacts, caffeine, alcohol, and spicy food.

Other miscellaneous abilities include: a whip-like tail, night vision, a mysterious nub on his forehead…

## Personality

Talkative, curious, and unaware, Cade isn't the fierce dragon that others would assume he is. Because he's been asleep for millenias, he doesn't act his age whatsoever, and he feels like he has a lot of self-discovery to do. If he took an MBTI test, he'd be an ESTP-A.

Cade is very eager to meet others, often not realizing that, as 11-meter-tall dragon, others are usually weary around him. Because of this, he will sometimes "raid" nearby villages, making jokes and pestering the villagers with incessant riddles. Unlucky passerbys who stumble across his cave are usually stuck there for a few days, and usually have to run away while the huge dragon sleeps.

## Biography

##### Awakaning

Cade's first conscious thoughts were from around 1 year before present time. He woke up in his cave, fully grown and with no real memories, and holding a folded paper scrap in his first talons, which read “Cade” (he took this to be his name later on). He was confused and hungry, which is why he left his cave for the first time in his post-wake life. A few days after waking up, he met Dirah, an elderly dragon, raiding a nearby village. He stopped her, and the two spoke for a long time, blocking the sunlight from reaching the village with their wings for a whole day.

Dirah told him they'd been hibernating. She asked whether he had family, but he did not know. Taking pity on the younger dragon, Dirah frequently came to visit Cade, who slowly regained energy. After a few years, his mood was as bright as ever.

##### Riddle Age

After his awakening, Cade’s days were spent learning however much he could about the world around him. He would marvel at mundane objects and inventions (see: spoons, mugs, vending machines and clothes), and often break things accidentally as doing so.

This is known as the Riddle Age for him because during this time, he would frequently kidnap other beings to quiz them or tell them random riddles and jokes, annoying them greatly but without the purpose to harm them. He’d also listen to their stories, ask to see random objects and ask A LOT of questions. You did not want to be stuck in this cave during this time, and Dirah began to visit him less frequently as a result.

## Relationships

### Dirah

Dirah is an elderly dragon who lives in the same area as Cade. He cares a lot for her, and the feeling is mutual, as she often treats him as a surrogate grandson. Dirah might be old, but she has still a lot of attitude and energy, as well as a deadly firebreath that many humans fear. Dirah is also the only other dragon that Cade knows.

## Trivia

* His earring is actually one of his favorite possession, but he has no idea what it is. It's his only possession from before the awakaning.
* Cade often has headaches. That's because he will often hit his head on his cave's roof or ram into hard objects to break them.
* He is afraid of angels, but it's a fear he can't explain.
* Cade can sometimes see flashes of unknown dragons when inhaling his own smoke. He thinks of these as illusions.
