Overview

Goes by she/they, but will not correct you if you call them something else. Cadaver is a large mystery to most. She speaks as if she is cursed by a great burden, and seems like she is always judging a new dragon's moral compass. Many dragons assume she's a bounty hunter, and do their best to steer clear. Anyone seen sizing her up ends up disappearing a few days later, with no body ever being discovered. Some know, just because she may be a good alligned dragon, doesn't mean she isn't some criminal with a shady past.

Family Origin

Cadaver's younger brother, Kairos, was stuck to her side as dragonets. The two were inseparable, until one day, Cadaver had become more tempered. Lashing out at anyone and everyone for minor occurence. Her family tried to get her help, and even defended her after attacking another dragonet mercilessly. However, one day, it seemed she had snapped. Cadaver had tore into Kairos, leaving her brother to be saved by their parents, who promptely kicked Cadaver out of their house. After a brief intermission, and a confrontation with a disguised deity, she had returned to her home at the dead of night intending to steal gold to buy more information. Her brother, Kairos, unfortunately had been awake, and after being victim to Cadaver's claws, raced to wake up their parents. Cadaver could not stop him in time, and was confronted by her father with teeth bared. She slaughtered her parents, unintentionally, with a power she didn't know she posessed.

Origin Pt2

With the ancestral power weak, yet still flowing in her veins, Cadaver's mother made her dying wish. When Cadaver, in her rage, lashed out at her brother, a white light blinded her. It felt as if she was burning without the fire to do so, her body tearing apart revealing muscle and bone. The pain rendered her unconscious, and when she awoke, her brother had already fled. Cadaver wasn't herself. With her head numb and body on fire, though the decay ceased, all she felt was hunger. Her mind wasn't awake to stop her from crawling to the nearest parent, as she began to devour her father. It was only after she had become full, and left with a bag of coin in tow, when her brain clicked. She realized what she had done. Cadaver screamed and wailed into the forest she awoke in, begging for something to end her for the atrocity she had commited. Even when trying to take punishment into her own paws, her power would not let her. It threatened that if she were to avoid this new part of her, the sin she would enact on would be even worse.

Current

Cadaver now wanders as a lone traveler. She keeps in contact with a dragon who knows a suspicious amount about her curse, but is appreciative of the information. She had vowed to never hurt an innocent dragon again, and in doing so, must go through great and difficult lengths to fill her hunger. Working odd jobs, she gets by just barely. And if someone were to anyonamously gift her a pouch of gold for making a certain troublesome dragon disappear, she wouldn't complain. Because of her past and fear of hurting those she loves, Cadaver tries not to stay in the same place for long to avoid getting attached to anyone. She also tends to avoid her hometown like the plague. Cadaver often wonders if she will ever see her brother again, but knows it's for the best if he thinks of her as dead and gone. The lives she took are something she could never repay to him.

Other notes

  • Cadaver has met both Sin and Carnival. The latter of which she goes too often for information.
  • Cadaver has also met Ranger, Kairos's partner, who does not know who she really is.
  • Her brother and her are the last dragons of their species to posess the curse that she has.

Kairos Brother

Cadaver's younger brother, by a good few years. They had a great relationship in her youth. They have not seen each other sicne their parent's death, which is likely for the best. Cadaver hopes he is doing well.

Ranger Brother-in-law

Cadaver has met Ranger a few times, coincidentally never when Kairos was around. They think of each other in a good light, though Ranger knows she is hiding something. He's not sure he wants to know.

Carnival Seller

While she doesn't like Carnival one bit, Cadaver often relies on him for information on both potential targets and her curse. She sees him as highly suspicious, but to keep being a client, Cadaver choses not to acknowledge it.
