Bio

To say Drake loves the outdoors is an understatement. Drake LIVES the outdoors! A keen hunter and a survivalist, he accepts his place in the world, both the good and the bad. To him, hunting with his partner Chenango is a noble pursuit, only to be done for food, and he thanks his quarry for giving their lives, making use of as much of their carcass as possible so as not to disrespect the environment which he loves.
After all, as a fierce advocate of the natural environment, he’s long advocated for Dracanea to create wilderness preserves to protect the few remaining dragons that live in the wild. Unfortunately, with everything going on in the kingdom, the local wildlife has fallen as a low priority to the monarchy.

In battle, Drake makes use of animal allies to change his battle style on the fly. Recruiting an alligator turns him into a defensive tank, while employing penguins help him to prioritize his magical attacks! He’s so versatile!

On top of running his own private wildlife sanctuary in Southern Dracanea, Drake is constantly seen traveling all over the place, though nobody seems to know why… With a wife and a son, and though much of his youth is somewhat behind him, he still lives life to the fullest. But beneath his jolly, amiable exterior, it seems that there may just be a bit of sadness though…

Redox – The Good General

Santo Redox

Age: 62
Hometown: Aevis City
Status: Crown’s Own Knight to King Rutos
Romance: Divorced
Friends: Riker, Christoph, Nikole
Rivals: None (He’s too jolly to have rivals!)

Fun Facts

  • General Redox has served as the Crown’s Own Knight longer than any other recorded official. He’s been at it for over 25 years!
  • Some say he has over 500 dad-jokes ready to go, at any given moment.
  • Off-the-record sources suggest Riker sees Redox as more of a father-figure than his own flesh and blood dad!


Bio

A lifelong servant of Dracanea, General Redox is a legend among his peers. He’s long been seen as one of the greatest heroes to have ever lived. As a youngster, he was top in his class at Dracanea’s Military Academy in Artemisia. Upon graduating, he worked as an officer for Aevis City’s local constabulary and rose quickly through the ranks, becoming Inspector in his building after just 7 years in the force! His imposing figure, herculean strength, and rigid moral compass made him an immediate choice for Crown’s Own Knight when his longtime friend King Rutos took the throne.

As time went on, Redox tended to see less action in his time at Aevis Castle and lent both his guiding wisdom and legendary sense of humor cement him as an inspiration for many young, new heroes like Riker Tierros. (To this day, Riker looks up to him like a puppy looks up to their favorite human.)

Bio

Riker’s one of the main characters of this here story, and as you can imagine he’s no stranger to adventure! …sort of!
Back in the day, as a kid Riker set off on a mystical quest to defeat the evil warlord Timik and saved Dracanea, which launched him to celebrity status as everyone’s golden-boy! Time passed, and as the years went by, he realized that being a hero doesn’t exactly pay the bills all the time, despite him coming from a wealthy family. And so he joined the military academy, where he rose through the ranks and was inducted into the Royal Guard, Dracanea’s most prestigious positions for knights.
In present day, he’s tasked with hunting down the Rebel Army to save Dracanea once again, albeit a little older and wiser now. 

While Riker is a national icon, he’s actually a bit wishy-washy and surprisingly awkward for someone with such a glorious military career. He’s not really sure who he even agrees with in the great debate between the crown and the Rebels. But at the end of the day his heart is in the right place, and all he really wants is for Dracanea to be at peace, so he can settle down into a simple life out of the spotlight. (If his parents let him, that is!)
