Dragoon

"Mutation is not kind."

a character in “Xmen: Rise of the Shadows”, as played by claw

Description

Image

Name: Balaur Draak

Nicknames: Dragoon, Scales.

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Place of Birth: Devon, England

Powers: Flight, fire-breathing, diamond hard scales

Backstory: Born on the rolling hills of Dartmoor national park in Devon, Balaur- son of a first generation Lithuanian single father- was home raised, with the open fields serving as a massive garden for the young boy to grow up in, his home schooling also effectively cut him off from the rest of society, which thankfully managed to hide his extreme mutation, which unlike most Mutants went so far as to change his species from Homo Sapiens to Homo Draco. As the years went by his mutations increased in their depth resulting in a full transformation, though in doing so his immune system was vastly reduced in effectiveness, as well as turning him into a cold-blooded reptile.

Not long after his 17th birthday his mutations were discovered by a group of locals, mostly superstitious. Upon seeing the flying creature they immediately took matters into their own hands and with weapons in hand followed Balaur to his home, which they proceeded to burn, with Balaurs father still inside. The young boy watched helplessly from afar before fleeing when the crowed began to notice him, he fly without aim or direction and eventually washed up upon the shores of America, half dead yet still so full of life.

So begins...

To the casual observer in the foggy fields, not that there were any to speak of, a single dark, rapidly moving object would soon be lost to sight in the swirling mass- especially if that particular moving object was moving at a height reserved for birds or bats, yet had the profile of something much, much larger.

This moving mass was the mutant known as Balaur Draak to most people, though most people wouldn't exactly stick around to get to know his name. The reason being for peoples apparent fear was namely the fact that he was not Human, a body covered in red scales, large leathery wings and a spiked tail depicted him more as draconian than any other description, he however had no particular qualms about his appearance, only the effect it had on others.

He took a chance to try and look around, flying blind as he was he couldn't see very much at all other than the oppressive wall of white mist surrounding him, whilst most flyers might have needed goggles to prevent bugs from flying into ones eyes Balaur was lucky enough to have a second thin set of eyelids, which worked thankfully about the same as goggles might, unfortunately it gave him a slight sense of tunnel vision. It was because of this he failed to notice a lone telegraph pole, long since disused, which whilst flapping his powerful wings he clipped as he sailed past. The brief contact had an immediate effect, he was sent spinning out of the air, yelling in a mixture of pain and shock as he fell to the damp marshy ground bellow, unfortunately this had another effect, in his surprise he failed to contain the fiery power within him and his yell of pain was also mixed with a jet of flame, which stretched out as he spun to the ground, the result was that the grassy area- and the telegraph pole- was instantly set ablaze and though his scales may indeed be tough, they were not fireproof.

Sensing a big and strong creature closing in, Elaine halted and looked frantically up in the air. She didn't see much but white thickness and bent down as she could feel the presence being in the air. A sudden clenching in her chest told her of the beasts crash and accident. The bright light from the fire through the fog was another sign of its presence and she stood petrified with wide dark blue eyes. "Hello!" She called out, but immediately regret her involvement. She couldn't help but open her mouth again "Who's there? Are you alright?" Inwardly cursing herself she awaited any sign of life or reply.

The stunned dragon-boy, lay still for a moment, one wing draped out to the side, the wind catching under it, whilst the other lay underneath him awkwardly, slowly he came to his senses and shook his head, both to waken up and to shake away the pain in his wings. He pushed himself up onto all fours and splayed his wings out before flexing them back and forth, it was always a good idea to check if anything was broken. It was then that he noticed the fire surrounding him, though he would last far longer than a warm-blooded creature from the heat alone, the fire itself would be lethal, he quickly jumped up and spun around, looking for an avenue of escape from the flames, his ears pricked at a sound a small distance away, it sounded like someone was calling to see if anyone was alive and if there was someone there then the fire must not be very strong in that direction he reasoned. He took a few steps backwards, looked into the fire, took a gulp of air before running straight at the ring of flames around him, his wings pushed out behind them then flapped downwards, easily propelling him through the fire, to protect his face he raised his arms in a cross, it was because of this he failed to notice he was flying directly at the source of the voice.

Frowning at the motion she not entirely recognized, she took a step closer and focused her powers in the direction. At the realization of the strong creature coming right at her she yelped and tossed herself down in the moist field and started crawling away, though ready to flatten down should the creature take a turn.

With a thump the red scaled boy crashed down a few yards away from the fire, his momentum carrying him along the ground for a short distance before he came to a stop. He didn't move for a moment as he tried to asses if he had landed closer to being on fire rather than further from it, a quick once over assured him that he had in fact made it, a feat with which he awarded himself a slight toothy smile, still panting from the sudden burst of effort he pushed himself up, as he stood his wings splayed out dramatically behind him, before folding up against his back, before he twisted around to search for the source of the voice.

The defining feature about this boy was that he was completely nude, for which there were two reasons, firstly it was impossible to find any clothing that takes both wings and a tale into account when making them. Secondly, unlike mammals, lizards have no sense of sexual nudity- they have no nipples and their genitalia are stored inside the body, thus, though while his body was indeed appealing to the eye, being slim yet also toned and slightly muscular which would not look at all out of place on a young male model, it was not in any way vulgar.

The destruction around the girl and her current reduced state made her call out to the other people she'd sensed moments before; "Heelp!" She didn't want to face this violence by herself. She got up on her trembling feet and started walking in the direction of the bunker while gazing behind. At the sight of something alike a huge bird she gasped and quickened her pace, but the curiosity couldn't tear her eyes off of the creature. Through the fog she started doubting her first guess of a bird, but bird, missile or mutated raccoon; it was dangerous.

Morgan slid back through the hallway, leaving the door cracked open accidentally. He knew that wasn't too bad of a thought, knowing that there were four lethal mutants on edge at the moment. He looked over to the glasses girl in the bunker and signed, "Thank You. I found it a while ago." Morgan waltzed over to the stairwell and removed both opened portals at the moment, sighing quietly as it only came out as a breath with no hum to go along with. Morgan leaned up against the wall, looking at the people before him.

Gradually but without knowing, Morgan heard a bit of a scrummaging outside, but he ignored it, tilting his head at the door and then quickly pulling it away. But something told him that that wasn't the only thing that was going on outside of the bunker. All of a sudden, a large shout in fear and pain came excreting from the distance, a large boom soon following afterward. It had something to do with a creature of the air landing to the ground. Morgan shoved myself off the wall and launched two apertures, on leading to the outside and one through the wall. He entered the flaming hoop and sprinted off towards the noise, sprinting to find a burning inferno in the distance, and a woman sprinting towards him shouting for help.

Coming to his mind he got the attention of Katalin, quickly reaching over and tapping her shoulder at the end of the room. SHe might have missed that had been going on but she sure was going to figure out. Along with her little brother.

He stared off to see a man with an odd look to himself. His scaly exterior caught Morgan's attention, but the fire in the back brought him even more attention. Morgan stared over, then jumped back inside through the portal, waving for everyone to come out and then looking over to see if the mutant was okay. I ran over to him, sprinting off to see what was up.

Seeing the man she halted warily, but sensing no hostility she met him and said "We gotta get inside the cave. That thing caused the fire over there." She waved her hands gesturing the fire and the big creature behind her, but slowed down when sensing the man couldn't speak.

Rebecca Pryde opened her eyes to see people around her. Where was she? Who were they? She didn't have the time to wonder. "Hello?" She looked at the other girl and asked "Where are we?". Rebecca looked around her and slowly stood up. She didn't remember coming here, and she certainly knew she didn't sleep walk.

Rachelle followed the male inside and looked around a bit. She wondered how long this had been here. Seemed pretty old but not old enough to survive war after war. She floated a bit before hearing a voice. She groaned slightly. "Please... No ghosts." She mumbled before following the male she had encountered earlier. She gasped slightly seeing a fire and laughed a bit.

"Wow this parties getting nuts!" She said with a smile. Fire was always a interesting sight but this one seemed to be a bit out of control. Also someone seemed to have been running from it. How fun. She looked towards the woman as she spoke. "Thing huh?..... What exactly is this 'thing' you speak of?"

She faced the second mutant and uttered insecure "Uuh," before looking back at the 'thing'. Feeling safe among these stronger mutants, she gave herself more time to look at it, though difficult through the fog.

Katalin followed Morgan out of the bunker, Job following at her heels. She wasn't really paying much attention to the conversations going on around her as her eyes scanned the scene. Fire. Unnaturally caused fire, but still fire. Which means oxygen. Smother the fire.

She noticed her brother focusing on the flying creature before he looked at his sister, "It is not an animal."

"Mutant," she confirmed with a nod as she focused on the fire.

Her eyes slid closed and when she reopened them, they glowed a dull gold color. In her mind, she imagined the oxygen molecules scattering away from the area of the fire until it was all gone. The flames slowly died down, leaving nothing but charred ground. She wandered over to Morgan, "How's that?"

Job made his way over to the fallen mutant carefully. He was conscious, but quite obviously disoriented. Before the mutant could see him, he walked back over to his sister and Morgan, "Definitely mutant."

Elaine was glad the fire was gone and taking note of everyone around her she didn't feel threatened, but they made her tense and wary. She worried most about the source of the destruction though; "Is it dangerous?" she asked while backing away so they were between her and the 'thing'.

"Is it dangerous?" a girl asked and Job felt a small flare of annoyance.

He looked at her, "Not it, he. And I think he's just scared, maybe a bit confused."

Katalin put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm gonna check it out," she walked over to the boy before anyone could stop her, crouching down next to him. "Hey, you okay?" Her blue eyes shimmered with worry as she watched him.

Job turned to the others. "Hiya, I'm Job Volkov. Pleasure to meet you all," he laughed softly as a rabbit bounded up to him, leaping into the boy's arms, "And this is Appleseed."

It was with no small amount of surprise that, whilst twisting to look for the source of the voice the flames behind him started to fade, as if they were burning themselves out, but that had never happened before, a spike of panic flashed through him and his wings tensed behind him in anticipation of a sudden need to fly, should danger arise.

The next big surprise for him was a figure appearing next to him, the ground must be damper than he had thought because he heard neither footsteps nor brushing aside of grass, that or the shock from the fires literally melting away had rendered his ears dulled. As one could expect he did not react by throwing himself into this strangers arms, rather he quickly jumped out and with a downwards flap pushed himself several feet away from the stranger- in fact it was a girl- and stood, slightly crouch in a wary stance, not too unlike a captive eagle.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The words surprised him, the only reason being that, whilst he was only 5 foot 9" and from a distance would easily be mistaken for a Human, this close distance was more than enough to notice his red scaled skin, jet black hair and most eerily his yellow eyes. It took him a moment to respond and when he did it took him even longer to realise to change languages from Lithuanian to English, so what came out was more of a mismatch of the two for a moment. "W.. Who are you? Where did you come from?" His voice was deep and smooth and carried an accent that was not too dissimilar but slightly distinguishable from that of a Russian voice. Whilst he was opening up by talking, he kept the same wary crouch, as if the slightest movement would cause him to soar away.

"I'm Rebecca. Rebecca Pryde. I live in New York. I-I just woke up here. I don't remember anything" She said, looking at him. Her hands hurt, they had burnt marks on them from the fire. When he asked her if she was okay, she raised up her burnt hands.

Ashamed of herself, Elaine followed Katalin with her eyes while muttering "He," as a statement to herself that this was a person and not a 'thing'. She felt dizzy at all the impact and only glanced at Rebecca and Job before focusing on Katalin's actions. She frowned and tilted her head slightly when seeing it's movements while being confronted. "Is that a dragon?" she asked.

Rachelle laughed as she began to float around the people. "Ahhh so i was correct~. It was a mutant. See, nothing to worry about. Fire is your friend~." She said before rubbing her chin. "Man this parties getting more and more people." She looked at Morgan and smiled. "Bunker buddies!" She said before floating around aimlessly. "What are the odds. A bunch of mutants like us meeting in a place like this."

She then paused at her words and smirked. "Go over and ask him. I mean seriously. Im pretty sure he's ya know... Upset that you literally ran away from him. He could have needed your help or something." She said while stretching her hands.

As Rebecca waited for an answer she looked at him more closely. She was used to seeing in the dark. But then she saw it. She gasped in surprise, seeing his red scaly skin. "Did you make the fire?"
