Levaske Starborn

"Can we stop teasing me about the bear thing yet?"

*"It takes so much to be a leader. You can see so much more, do so much more, if you just tag along for the ride."*

## History

Levaske's egg was carried on a large chunk of moon-stuff. It was on this asteroid that he hatched, grew up, and managed to survive on the scattering of alien vermin that shared his birthplace. Within fifty years, however, his apatite outgrew these paltry snacks.. Under threat of starvation, he took the risk to leap from his orbiting home to the planet below, crashing quite near the Blockade in a near-death state. It was there he was found by Zank Udrin, his new benefactor. With a few years of careful tending and recovery, along with a few experimental and somewhat necromantic procedures, he was able to recover for the most part. Now in his early sixties, he has devoted the rest of his life to the service to the person who- as he describes it- 'is both deity, rescuer, and lover'.

## Appearance

Levaske sports the swirling pattern and excessive fines and barbels of a Lunar Dragon- a creature native to the stars. Despite being much diminished by the trauma of falling to the ground at such a young age, everything he's lost has been bolstered in other areas, leaving him much more well-proportioned than most dragons his age or size would be. As with most quadrupeds, he wears either nothing or only a saddle- leaving his deep purple-hued scales on shimmering display, only contrasted by his marbled amber eyes.

## Personality

Levaske sports a personality that straddles the line between laid back and manic. On one hand, he revels in the breadth of his deference to another person for all of the 'important' things in life- the broad strokes, at least, are all left up to Zank, with the dragon happy to serve as the kobold's unerringly loyal- if quirky- mount. On the other hand, he has a frantic curiosity about his surroundings that occasionally just can't be contained, and an almost fanatical obsession with kobolds and their doings born from the way he has 'imprinted' on and come to worship Zank. Most importantly, stimulation is almost a physiological need for the dragon- boredom easily leaves Levaske tired and disinterested until he's had a chance to be entertained or fascinated once more.

## Loves

As it was very necessary to his recovery from the charred sort-of husk he was upon landing, Levask has developed a passion for the mutability brought on by Transmutation and other alteration-centric magic. As previously mentioned, he is highly enthused by the basic existence of kobolds, to the point of compulsively seeking to interact with and 'explore' any he comes across- this love is most dramatically emphasized toward his current master. Above all, he's in love with exotic locales, though typically not ones easy to find in 'natural' places; his nose can often be found buried in books about the planes and other planets.

## Fears

Levaske's greatest fear is being trapped or restrained. Even physically binding or pinning him can invoke panic, while the dread that makes itself known in his nightmares concerns a more absolute imprisonment- empty darkness without anything to stimulate him, or even measure the passage of time.

On the more general level, his everyday anxieties include inadequacy, cats, and things which taste like citrus but are not, in fact, citrus.

## Hobbies

While some people would call it 'sexual harassment', Levaske tends to think of his hobby of invading personal space and inappropriately touching the objects of his sexual or scholarly interest to be the most honest and flattering way of expressing his attention- and likewise would never subtly look someone over or dance with euphemisms. He also aspires to someday be a sculptor. Maybe. His attention span does not tend to last past four or five cuts...

## Friends

Zank Udrin - While his feelings are far too 'intimate' to consider the kobold an adoptive father, 'lord and master' does not scratch the surface of Levaske's absolute mix of worship and emotional attachment toward his kobold traveling companion. He has sworn his life not just to Zank's protection and service, but to his whims- however idle they may be.

## Enemies
