Appearance:

A muscular 6'1 feet (187 cm) man with tanned skin, swept-back blonde hair, and undefeatable gray eyes. King typically clothes himself with an open collared purple dress shirt. From across the entire back there are golden snakes slittering. He then dons replaceable golden earrings. on each ear and wears a black neck collar, added with a necklaces made from the teeth of a wild beast he conquered. Across his well-toned arms lie tattoos made to resemble the teeth of a beast, and for added emphasis on his badassery he wears black tactical assault military gloves for added damage in his powerful blows. Hanging on from his black battle-ready jeans, there lay silver beads for his use to pray for good luck.

 

In his hybrid form, his skin becomes darker, the marks on his arms glow with a magma shade, symmetrical cracks resembling scales begin to take shape, his hair grows longer and more wild, and his pupils dilate to form red slitted eyes.

 

In his dragon form, King commands the appearance of an enormous beast with colors similar to his hybrid form, but he gains the typical qualities of a dragon.

 

Personality:

Avoiding the stereotypical badass with a dark and sully personality, King proves to be the opposite. Extremely confident in his abilities and not afraid to acknowledge that he is in fact a badass, King is a fight-loving brawler who loves to connects his fists to another's face. He has a crude and rude demeanor complimenting his "Screw the rules!" attitude. As far as King is concerned, the only rules he would abide by would be to live his life as he sees fit. Although rough around the edges, King is a genuinely good-hearted fellow. While nowhere near the definition of kind, King holds the trope to be a jerk with a heart of gold and has his own insecurities.

 

Powers:

Not a dragon born, not half dragon, but King is a human with Dragon DNA installed within his own genes, or roughly, part dragon. It means that while he was formerly 100% human, King now carries the blood of a dragon and human combined and holds absolutely no relation to a Dragon's kind since he was not born as a child of the winged beasts. Thanks to his new unique genetics however, he innately holds more physical capabilities than the average man.

 

Then with the dragon's blood, he possess abilites that he can activate at will. King can summon superhuman strength and reflexes, and extremely dense skin and muscle tissue that acts as his armor, which renders him highly resistant to physical injury, granted to him by an experiment he once gone through in prison. The cellular regeneration experiment has fortified the various tissues of King's body, granting him a high degree of resistance to injury via skin that is as or stronger than titanium. His body can resist high caliber bullets, puncture wounds, corrosives, and extreme temperatures and pressures with little to no damage. Although there are limited resources that can injure him, King is very suspectible to mental attacks, certain elemental forces, and magic spells. Also, the longer he uses his power, the more stamina and calories he drains from himself until he loses consciousness.

 

Unknown to King, he can conjure his full dragon form. His dragon form is essentially, a giant buff to his previous abilities. In order to activate, he requires an enormous amount of rage and fury. Once calm, his beast form disappears and is immediately exhausted into his human form.

 

Weaknesses: Since the completion of the experiment, his powers do not come without a price. The first is that his powers are a double edged sword. If he was to use them for a prolonged amount of time, it will shut down his body immediately, rendering him completely vunerable until he regains consciousness. The second is his lack of stamina. He relies on finishing his opponents as soon as possible, and cannot continue for a long period of time without rest. Third is similar to his lack of stamina, his powers requiring a vast amount of calories to burn and forces him to intake as many meals as he can store before using his powers. Next is that his body is not invincible, meaning that even his hybrid form can be overpowered. The last is the most important: inexperience. He has not held onto his powers for long, and thus is inexperienced at conjuring forth his power. One wrong command, and his power will 'explode' on him, that is, forcing him to suffer immeasurable pain.

 

Abilities:

 

Dragon's Essence: A strange ability in which he absorbs the dragons he has slain. Through the slain dragons, he gains access to their powers and memories, but not without a hefty price. Dragon's Essence is a powerful ability, but its weakness lies in its name. Dragon's Essence absorbs a dragon's essential being, becoming one with King. In that respect, the dragon has the option to attempt and take over King's body through battles within the mind, or reside with him.

 

Current Dragon's Essence: N/A

 

History (Default): The typical bad egg from a typical wealthy family. From a young age, King always found himself in trouble. Ill-mannered and hot-tempered, he would always pick fights with his peers and the law, only to be bailed out from the influence of his family. Once he reached the legal age however, he found himself in prison. Here he expected his rich parents to free him again, but this time, he heard nothing. Soon he found out that they claimed to have nothing to do with 'this person.' In other words, they abandoned King, tired of his antics. Rage fueled King, and by becoming more destructive in prison, more years were added to his sentence. He lived on in the prison, rotting away with his anger, until he was offered a proposition. If he agreed to volunteer for an experiment, he would be sent scott free away from prison. Eager to escape from the stoned jail, he signed up without hesitation. The experiment succeeded, but with a terrible price. The wrath built up within King exploded and gave birth to his powers awakened. Next thing he knew, he woke up in the middle of nowhere. Confused, he couldn't remember anything about the experiment other than excruciating pain and his vengeful wrath. The golden man discovered that the experiment granted him near-invincible skin and power to match. Disgusted at the realization that he only brought forth destruction, he decided to on a new path. With these newly found abilities, King set up a quest for a new identity and walked away to his new life. Here he renamed himself 'King', tossing away the family that threw him away. Still, he continues to search for clues regarding his experiment, and the strange desire to seek a dragon's kin. Despite these complications, King looked ahead to his new life as a self-proclaimed bounty hunter with brimming eyes and confidence. Although he found his new blood meddlesome at times, King evoked a smile that spoke stories of his proud nature as a human with dragon powers.
