Attributes, Sorcery, and Skills

Attributes

Nautral attributes Keilan possesses, some enhanced by training.

Superstrength - A staple ability afforded to his race, Keilan possesses immense superhuman strength, capable of lifting almost 500 tons unaided.

Supersorcerer - An exceptional rarity among dragons, Keilan is a supersorcerer, able to perform powerful feats of magic entirely at will and with minimal effort.

Superdurability - Another natural trait for dragons in general, Keilan is fairly tough. He can take up to a tank shell and keep going in most cases, but is still susceptible the directed energy weapons.

Sorcery

Schools of arcane practice that Keilan has mastered over the past 8 centuries.

Arcanomancy (Ph.D.) - The first branch of magic Keilan learned, arcanomancy involves the manipulation of arcane energies specifically; from enhancing a spell’s effect, powerful dispels, weakening a spell, to completely morphing another person’s spell to something else.

Elemental Evocation (Ph.D.) - Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and a few combinations thereof, some of the most common combat spells, Keilan knows them all by heart. He has even invented his own spells, all of which involve manipulating natural light (i.e. lasers; x-rays).

Wizardry (Ph.D.) - An old, fairly basic group of spells, wizardry was among the first types of magic Keilan learned.

Aeromancy (Masters) - Spells of war, literally. Aeromancy involves the support and desolation of armies, and having profound effects on sieges.

Necromancy (Masters) - Not everyone shuns necromancy, so long as it can be applied responsibly. Keilan openly embraces the use of it, and finds the notion of it being “wholly evil” utter nonsense.

Divination (Masters) - The art of observing from great distances and across time.

Conjuration (Masters) - Spells of summoning, binding, and banishment, usually in relation to extraplanar entities. Keilan has done extensive research into binding spells especially, and has developed a few custom wards, and a binding circle for humans (just in case someone tries anything “funny”).

Non-standard Evocation (Masters) - Some of the easiest, and hardest, spells to learn, Keilan knows a wide variety of specially-made spells, such as the Bindings of Aratron, the Vapors of Vata, the Lights of Luathon, etc.

Skills

Skills Keilan has learned that do not pertain to sorcery.

Hand-to-Hand Combat Training - Keilan is well versed in at least two forms of martial art, specific to his kind; one dealing with fighting in his natural, feral form, the other as a humanoid. Amusingly, they are more akin to brawling than actual martial arts.

Mathematics - While not his favourite, math plays a vital role in even draconic society. It is also surprisingly useful in performing certain spells, including Keilan’s “laser elemental” spells.

Physical Sciences - Physics, Geology, Astronomy, Biology; while not a major focus of Keilan’s education, he’s knowledgeable of the above subjects to an early college level (101 classes, mostly), excepting geology, which he has taken a significant interest in.

Cooking - He’s not a gourmet chef (yet), but Keilan isn’t bad at cooking some exotic meals. He’s also prone to experimentation, which rarely ends well.

General Perception

Tropes, Trivia, RP Hooks

Tropes

Because I can

• All Dragons Are Different – D&D style. Big, intelligent, ancient, powerful, and can perform magic. Not someone to treat lightly.
  
• The Ageless – Courtesy of the above.
  
• One Dragon War Machine – Again, related to the above. Of course, his Aeromancy spells have a lot to do with it.
  
• Gentle Giant – He’s a dragon, he’s benign. You do the math.
  
• Friend to All Children – He will never, ever, threaten to or deliberately harm a child. God help anyone dumb enough to do so in front of him.

Trivia

• While he knows little to nothing about advanced technology, Keilan is largely fascinated by it, coming from a society whose technology level is indistinguishable from ancient Rome.
• Contrary to popular perception of dragons, Keilan (and his society as a whole) do not eat other sentient creatures. In fact, the very concept is deplorable to them, and is a crime punishable by death. So, no, you do not taste good with ketchup.
• The organization Keilan is a member of is infamous for its uncompromising moral and ethical views, and they are believed to have taken “malevolent” dragons from their homes across the globe on more than one occasion for “crimes” they have committed.
• Keilan’s views on the secrecy of magic are in direct opposition to most other sorcerers around the world, especially the Trismegistus, and he will not hesitate to drop his opinion on them.

RP Hooks

• Keilan is a professional teacher of magic at a prestigious university of sorcery hidden deep beneath the UK, before going on the field and becoming a superhero. Perhaps other mages who studied there have come to the superhuman world?
• Keilan has visited Vibora Bay on several occasions in the recent past, and so is recognizable to its supers.
• Despite becoming a field researcher, Keilan is still a teacher of magic, and is willing to take on just about anyone as a student.
• Keilan is trying to use his human glamour to get into MCU, and acquire an official Ph.D. in geology.
