Personality: Contrary to all the rumors about Pendragon, he's not stupid in the slightest. He may act like a douche, but his ideas were far ahead of his time - particularly for the zepath community. Pendragon has a vice - he gets drunk if he has the chance. Stories about him are split evenly between his usual crazy exploits, and the drunk exploits which somehow are even nuttier. In any case, Pendragon is loyal and reliable to those he knows and never goes back on a promise. Even if it takes him 1000 years to fulfill it.

OTHER INFORMATION

  • Likes: Alcohol, music, dancing, combat, fire, explosions, anything blue, cream pastries, sleep, climbing, high spots
  • Dislikes: Uptight people, admitting he's wrong, being doubted and/or underestimated, rain (although it never rains in Hrawa), dust
  • Quirks: Has fully mastered the recycling of bodies. Pendragon's combo of necromancy, blood and soul magic is a unique one. He also inherited the blue fire from his zepath ancestry.
    Has very little scales even for a zepath, missing wings and tail as he lost them over the course of his life (now has ugly scars instead). 
    One of the most famous tales about Pendragon is how he got particularly shitfaced after a victory over some old rivals and danced a whole session of nhamra on his enemies' graves, hence the nickname "the grave dancer".
    Secretive about his first name. It's an ancient one, dates back to the first civilizations, but he was teased for it and is shy about it
    .
    Only known speaker of several languages - most notably Kamardian, that's partially sign language.
  • Weapons of choice: Sword cane, minions, magic
  • Strengths: Unpredictable, hits hard, quick
  • Weaknesses: Unpredictable, often drunk so therefore bad aim
  • Song: Panic! At the Disco - Crazy = Genius

ABILITIES

Raise
Pendragon seeks out any corpses in the ground and raises them - be they fresh, partially decomposed or just skeletons. He can turn anything into a minion, from rat to wyvern.

Poison
As a general rule - drawing blood while fighting Pendragon is unadvised. He can poison his enemies' blood soon after coming into contact with it. The blood turns a distinct blue, also jokingly called Pendragon's Affliction.

Meteor Rain
Part of Pendragon's zepath magic setup, this destructive spell rains down fireballs from above. It's been known to encompass whole battlefields.

Soulbind
The name may be somewhat misleading. Pendragon rarely uses this spell, but it entails moving his soul from his body to a weapon. Often it's Pendragon's cane, that while under the effect of Soulbind turns into a proper sword. Weapons affected by this don't cut flesh, but rather go straight through their foe causing unbearable pain. A strike to one's soul with a Soulbound weapon is fatal. Pendragon himself describes it as being stung by a jellyfish, but inside and way more painful.

Pendragon can also heal himself by dealing damage, control his enemies' blood as if it was water and throw around the zepathes' blue fire like any elementalist would with regular fire (not that there's a difference between the two). 

PASSIVE ABILITIES

Project Soul
With some concentration, Pendragon can project an image of a soul - his own or somebody else's. Good for getting to know yourself - literally.

Phantom Limbs
Pendragon's nostalgic about his wings and tail, so he devised a fairly basic runic spell to make up for it. He summons blue wings and tail that fill for the ones he lost. They function in the same way and give the normally ground-bound demon more room to move as well as melee combat abilities (you don't wanna get hit by that tail).


RELATIONSHIPS

Zeram - the best of friends. Pendragon has known the regent before Vethra was around in Hrawa.
