Personality: He is now calm and collected. He tries to stay to himself or just make small conversation about subjects that isnt his personal life. He never let people get too close to him emotionally.If anyone does find their way through his barriers he is a sweet and charming guy. He can be protective and loves to please the one he is involved with. He does not try and stand out too much. He is a gentle man and is polite. He is confident and carries himself highly. He does however cover himself up though hiding his markings especially at night since they have a tendency to glow He doesn't have a short temper except for witches. If he does get angry he tends to raise his body heat. He can become violent or very verbal. He is loyal to a group he becomes part of or who ever cure him from his curse. But he does not go around telling people only person he is interested in working with. If they could cure him they would get a loyal subject.

Background: (brief) was wealthy in 1349 when the Black Death was at its peak. He would house some healthy people in his home. He was or he at least thought he was a decent man. He however would not let this old suspicious hag into his home fearing it maybe some sort of evil witch that may bring the death into his house. He tossed her a piece of bread before he shut the door on the old woman. He firmly believed in his god and if you let heathens in you may die from the death. This was what turned his life around. That night half the people in his house got a mysterious illness and died. The remaining people in his house revolted against him calling him a warlock. He tried to rectify the whole thing and say he was set up. It was not his fault that a bunch of people died. The people of the city was not having it and threw him in a dungeon. He was tortured and questioned on who he was working for or what witches he knew. He truthfully did not know of any witches but the higher people nobles and what not did not believe him and thought he was a conspiracy against the city with the pegans. He was sentenced to hang on a crucifix until indefinitely.
He hung there for days thirsty and hungry. His proper kept clothes he wore week ago before he was captured were brown and dirty. They were ripped and bloody as the lashings and stones were thrown by the people he once helped and loved. He went in and out of conscienceiness for a couple of days. He drank rain water the hit him.
One night he prayed to his god. Hoping he would make this right. The old hag heard him mumble a prayer. She spoke to him saying he may not be saved but she possibly could help him. He was skeptical women as old as her help a man like him. The punishment he served had made him bitter and angry at the city folk. His eyes focused and it was the old woman from that night. He got angry at her. Telling her that she ruined his life and it must have been her that killed the people that night. She denied everything but he did not believe her. She left him there to hang for a few more days. His body was getting more tired and worn down by the hours. She came back on a cool rainy night and offered help again. His prayers were never answered so he reluctantly accepted her offer of help. She under the cover of darkness cut him down. He barely was able to walk and she grabbed a chunk of hair off of his head and tried to help him walk. This did not go well. They were eventually caught by the guards well he was she escaped. He was then looked upon again as a warlock and thrown in a hole more like a deep well that had mud and dead things in it. He knew he would die in there so he made himself comfortable or tried.
The next night he was crouched down when suddenly his heart started to race and his head started to throb. He screamed out clutching his chest. Suddenly his skin burned off in thick strip like design all over his body he fell to his hands and knees. His skin started to sloth off revealing golden yellow scales. He looked down in terror on what was happening. His body contorted and searing pain was in every inch of his body. He was growing large and new limbs formed into wings. His loud screams woke the towns people near. The screams turned slowly into a roar. He started to climb as he was growing too big for the dried well he was stuck in. As he grew he climbed out the towns folk where terrified as he finally crawled out bigger then a horse and kept growing. He finally stopped roaring and panted with the pain subsiding. He unrevealed and looked up at the town or rather down as they were much smaller. Most of the people ran in fright to the houses. He ran off towards the mountains scared of what happened.
He though was not hard to find as the old hag which was a witch found him and spoke to him. She granted him freedom but he did not specify what kind. He was a bit peeved about this not sure if this was a gift or not. He asked if she could reverse it and she gave him a negative answer. He was told to enjoy his new life and maybe he should have let a little old lady in. He was stuck like this indefinitely. He had to learn things as he adjusted to his new life of a dragon. He was however really agitated on how the people turned against him. Through the years he would cause a lot of problems burning part of the town eating caravans. This town was known and then rumored to have a dragon nearby and visitors stayed away.
Many decades past and the city he was from was in ruin after most of the people were too old and died or just left because of the dark ominous creature. He was bored and decided to persue another village till he had his fill of fun and treasure. Centuries past and he was tired of being this creature he wanted to be human and found this curse to be tiring wanted to desparately end it. He would proceed to search for a magical being to change him back. After more decades of searching and it was not easy with being so big he found someone to help him. He agreed to help them with tasks before or after the cure. He did some tasks before the sorcerer changed him back. However, the witches magic was too powerful and he was not changed fully he still retained the yellow glowing ribbon like markings over his whole body. He was not too pleased but he was human again or he tried to hide his marks to be as human as he could. He held up his bargain on helping the sorcerer. He became a type of servant to the man. He was a wealthy person made into a servant. He was not cured of the curse. He would randomly erupt into his dragonself and it was as painful as he originally turned. He could not control the time of the shift. He became increasingly unstable as now he would be in cities and erupt into a huge problem. The sorcerer and him would travel to different cities. Serving the sorcerer he asked for a possible cure for the problem. Years past and he was able to predict or control the time of transformation not the help with more magic but the practice he gained over time. He could have a sort of normal life. He continued the work with the sorcerer until the mans untimely death in his sleep. Darius was free finally. He did go on a quest to find the witch that changed him and tell her to change him back or kill her if he did not die of old age. He wondered the world and could not find this witch and just lived era to era. Making his appearance different and not inventing anything. He kept in the background of society moving from different countries every 60- 80 yrs. He would use different names. He moved to the city and founded his business in steel metal working and building. Building businesses or housing.

Power: He has different forms
Human where he has super human strength and can super heat his body making items he touch very hot especially where the goldlike veins are. This is helpful in a way that he doesn't ever over heat or get cold.He is also super resilient and can take alot of hits without blood or wounds.(punches, claws.etc)but guns can hurt him. He heals faster then human but not immediately.

Second form is where he can shift into a larger form and gets dragonlike scales impenetrable and is strong like before.

Third form is more like a anthrodragon. Has fire, strength ,impenetrable scales, flight and claws

Final form is a full sized dragon does dragon things. Breathe fire, impenetrable scales,flight, claws.
He has to change at least once a month to a full dragon. If he delays it he will turn anytime after 30 days unexpectedly.

Strengths: Strong, experienced as he is older. He can tolerate excessive heat like, fire. Some strengths depends on the form he is in. He is intelligent and wise. He can be intimidating. Has some knowledge of magic.

Weaknesses: he is on a clock with transformation. Not in the swift category of things. Not agile. Does not do well using weapons. Does not solve riddles too well. Short temper with witches. He holds back most of the time. Small space and being tied up.He may flip shit if tortured. He does not trust people too well. He has PTSD and if in situations that were like his capture ages ago he will act violently or hysterically depends on the situation.

Likes: Money, expensive jewelry, the sun and the summer. He loves a good steak. Beautiful women and men. Noble people. Respectful people. Honesty, warm cozy bed. Being humanish

Dislikes: his past. Magic and people wielding magic, the night his markings tend to stand out. old women extreme religious fanatics.

Darius. He does have a dragon form but i am working on it still . His markings are lava and he is unusually hot. I have been drawing him alot he seems to be a great addition to my 2 characters i have. Not sure if His name will be Darius or something else. It was a name that sticks in my head but not sure if its him. lol. I drew him with pencil and marker and painted and glowed him in photoshop. not sure how well the glow worked but at this moment im satisfied. If i dont put it out now it will sit in my computer till when ever.

Ahhh.... I'm not sure if the aforementioned character in question was named Darius, but is this the same character you had mentioned at an earlier point that you were working on? o.o Because if so, then I'd say it was worth the anticipating, because he looks awesome!! ^_^ His markings have an intricate yet fluid flow as they emblazon his body, and I like how in the light, they appear as nothing more than ordinary tattoos, yet when he enters some place dark, they illuminate like blistering, radiant magma. Everything about the colour schemes, from the markings, to the eye preferences, all comes together at the seams beautifully. :) I'm also impressed with your male human anatomy, particularly in musculature, and as far as the name Darius goes, to be honest, I actually quite like the name! Makes me wish I'd used something a little more innovative for a male character of my own, and looking at your character, somehow, it just seems to fit. o.O But maybe that's just me...

Lovely work! ^_^ (And he has a dragon form? :D That should be interesting!)
