## Biography

### The Destroyer: 1938 (E.T.) - 1993 (E.T.)

Drax is a Katathian. They're a people known for their amazing strength and their tribal culture built around honor, fighting, and surviving their planet's harsh environment. I gather that they have little technological advancement of their own but have been space faring for centuries due to past would-be conquerors being unable to get a foothold on the planet and instead chose to make peace and recruit the Katathians as mercenaries to wage war on other worlds.

Our Drax was born nearly six decades back. He looks good for his age, doesn't he? Well, Drax was the son of a War Chieftess and one of her "bodykeepers" — honestly, I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a bodyguard, doctor, male concubine, or some mixture of the threes. I guess I should mention that Drax's mother was not just any War Chieftess, though, she was the "Moon Dragon", which I guess was also some sort of spiritual leader of the Katathian people too.

Anyway, Drax was raised as a warrior, a pretty common career path for Katathians. Though, I guess that Drax had little interest in such things. He wanted to be a musician or something, but since that wasn't really viable.

He must have been good at fighting, as when he came of age to receive his first Jilta'ra ritual, he received the tile of the Destroyer. Sounds pretty badass, huh? As part of the Jilta'ra process, Drax got his first tattoos, marking himself as an adult.

However, shortly after the ink on his tattoos dried, Drax met Hovat the Gentle End. She was a huntress from another tribe, and apparently, Drax fell in love with her when he watched her chase down some sort of wild animal and slit its throat, showering herself in its gore. Ah... young love, so sweet, isn't it?

Drax courted Hovat, and I'll spare you the details that I wish I did not know about Katathian mating rituals. Anyway, the two become pledged to marry, but Hovat had no interest in marrying a warrior. To help convince Drax to abandon the warrior life, Hovat presented him with a musical: a Katathian Blood Horn made from the very animal he had seen her slaughter when they first met.

However, just three years after the birth of Drax and Hovat's daughter, Kamaria, Thanos and the Black Order came to Katath. The Katathians fought well, but Thanos's Black Order did what no other conqueror could do before and defeated the Katathians.

Thanos ordered his Black Order to purge half of the population. When Drax was escorted from his village, he had assumed he had been marked for death, but then he watched in horror as a Black Order ship then unleashed its payload upon Drax's village.

On that day, Drax mourned his loss. On the next, he swore he would be the one to kill Thanos or die trying. I think he has a shot.

* **Katathian Physiology:** Drax the Destroyer is a member of the inferior Katathian species, a primitive and backward people of little value except their brute strength and relentless warrior culture.
	+ ***Enhanced Agility:*** Drax has exceptional physical prowess for a Katathian, allowing him to sprint across battlefields unimpaired by difficult terrain and throw his daggers with lethal precision.
	+ ***Enhanced Resilience:*** Drax is known to be exceptionally difficult to put down. He has survived many fatal injuries and kept fighting. While his muscles and thick Katathian hide can be the cause of some of his ability to ignore minor damage, the rest must be part of his "Xandri Xerith" — or Blood Frenzy, a Katathian battle technique tied to a sacred ritualistic oath of vengeance. When a battle is over, Drax can use his "Keldar Zephira" — or Warrior's Recovery, a ritual of calming that puts Katathians into stasis to accelerate healing.
	+ ***Enhanced Strength:*** Even among the Katathians, Drax's strength is quite remarkable. Though there are Katathians much stronger than Drax, few would have the agility and intensity that Drax is also known for. He is an exceptional specimen. It is estimated that Drax can lift the area of 40 – 60 Kree Kerrags.
	+ ***Warrior Training:*** Through Drax was a simple farmer by trade, prior to his planet being conquered and purged by Thanos and his Black Order, Drax was raised by a warrior clan and had only chosen the life of a farmer at his wife's request, in order to raise a family together. With the arrival of the Black Order and the termination of his family, Drax has sworn a "Sylara Xerith" — or Blood Oath. In order to fulfill this vendetta, Drax joined several ill-fated mercenary companies before becoming a Freelancer and flying with the "legendary" Star-Lord and his crew.
	+ ***Metaphors & Sarcasm:*** The Katathian culture does not understand the concepts of either sarcasm or metaphors. However, there is some indication that Drax's time spent with the crew of the Milano has seen him begin to grasp the fundamental basics, though he is still slow to recognize its use in conversations around him.
	+ ***Tunnel Vision:*** When Drax has an opportunity to move closer to fulfilling his Sylara Xerith, he has a difficult time knowing other considerations, such as his environment, his allies, or other tactical matters.

### Gamora's Insights

Do I hate Drax for him wanting to kill my father? Flark no. I do not hate Drax. He hates me. He insults me for being the daughter of Thanos, or he chastises me for "betraying" my father. No matter what I do, I am scut to Drax. Whatever. It's fine. I don't give a d'ast.
