( Character's Name ) : Paarthurnax ( Character's Age ) : Centuries old ( Series ) :Skyrim ( Canon Point ) : After the Dragonborn beats Alduin ( Playability ) : This is not the dragon you're looking for
( Personality ) : When one has lived for so many years, one tends to mellow out. This is true enough for humans, and very true for a dragon such as Paarthurnax. Some dragons are still very violent creatures. However, Paarthurnax has taken great pains to overcome his darker draconic nature. He has spent decades, if not centuries, mediating on the Throat of the World. It is an isolated place that was perfect for his purposes of hiding himself away from his temptations until he could better control them.
Clearly, this speaks of Paarthurnax's iron will. While Alduin's actions and beliefs are enough by the end of the game to seem uncomfortable for many other dragons, Paarthurnax was one of the first to abandon his brother. Many of the dragons the player runs into in the game are mostly those of the 'attack first' variety. It is only Paarthurnax and one other who is willing to talk with the player and hold back on their more selfish desire. He is an extremely patient and wise individual; how else could he found an entire order, especially from a race that would have the first impulse of screaming and running away at the sight of one such as him?
Of course, sometimes being so wise comes at a price. Paarthurnax had to admit that he did some atrocious things while working with his brother Alduin. That speaks something well of him, however. Paarthurnax is willing to reconsider his decisions and mindset in the hopes of bettering himself.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : STRENGTHS: --Well, for one thing, he is a giant dragon. That comes with the benefits of flight and a nasty set of sharp teeth-claws. --Dragon Shouts: Being one of the oldest dragons in Skyrim and the entire world, Paarthurnax is quite knowledgeable in many of the Shouts, with the exception of Dragonrend. --Like most dragons, Paarthurnax is extremely resilient and tough to kill as the various scars on his body can attest to. The fact that dragon bones and scales are valued as some of the most impressive armor one can find speaks to it. WEAKNESSES: --While his size can be dangerous in a fight, it is also hard for Paarthurnax to move around in smaller spaces. --There is also the fact that he will probably be shrunk down a bit to fit within Vatheon, so he'll lose some of his more impressive size benefits.
( Other Important Facts ) : His name means "Ambition Overlord Cruelty", how cool is that
( Sample ) : Good morning, Vatheon. It seems like quite the lovely winter day down in the bubble. Being the last day of the month, it seems like the last of the foreigners has finally trickled in from wherever they are taken from. That really seems nice.
So just feel free to go about your morning business in the plaza! Wake up, go to the cafe, avoid the giant dragon tail that's sprawled over the street...
Wait, giant dragon tail? Holy shit, giant dragon!
Although... it doesn't seem as if the enormous beast currently partially submerged in the fountain is quite the type to breathe so much fire that will reduce everyone in the nearby area to a charred corpse. In fact, there is a startling lack of fire being breathed! Really, he seems more concerned with pulling himself out of the fountain and looking over his massive body. A massive body full of scars wrought through scales, torn wings, and cracked horns...
He also seems to be carefully watching his surroundings, the people in particular. Is that a bit of caution and uncertainty in his gaze...?
Well. There's one way to find out.
Who wants to go up to the giant dragon taking up a good chunk of the plaza?
( Questions? Comments? Concerns? ) : Guys let me in before I regret impulse apping
