Profile
Name: Alexandoriel (Alexandra Drake)
Age: 1,000,000 years, give or take a few 100
Gender: Male or Female
Race: Amethyst Dragon
Height: 8', 5"
Weight: Probably 300+
Rank: Not quite Citizen yet
Basic Appearance:
Unlike the picture above, her body itself looks as though it was neatly carved out of an amethyst crystal, with no discernible scales. They are there, though, but blend in perfectly. There are patches, though, that are ruby. She has no horns, though there is a long crystal trail down her spine that appears to be a line of crystal formations, though they themselves are also smooth like they were shaped. Her sapphire eyes glow faintly, though it seems to naturally do so without any magical means. While she is a crystal dragon, she is very much organic under her scales, and a blade managing to get under a scale could do great damage. That being said, while on the surface, she is almost never in her dragon form.
This is a picture of her in a half dragon form. If her dragon side comes out, it is almost always in this form.
In Alexandoriel's human form, which she goes by Alexandra Drake, she is roughly eight feet tall, with a feminine, yet muscular build. She isn't quite as bulky as a giant. Her human form is a perfect mimic of a human, with the exception of her height. Whether or not she is capable of controlling her human size is unknown. Her eyes, having turned emerald, lose their natural glow, and she has a full head of rich auburn hair that she keeps pulled back into a ponytail, which reaches to her middle back when she does so. Due to her unusual size, Alex makes her own clothes out of her kills and cloth gotten from markets. She wears leather pants which are dyed a deep blue, and a lighter blue tunic which is tied off with an amethyst colored cloth belt. Across her chest and under her shoulders is a specially designed harness and strap set that the Amethyst Hammer resides in.
(The man in the picture is an old friend of hers. I know it's borderline anime-ish, but it was custom drawn by a friend for this character. She's the only thing close to how she's supposed to look that I have, though her eyes are green, not brown.)
Combat Credentials
Combat Style:
There isn't much to Alex's fighting style. She's all about beating it with a hammer until it stops moving, and if it comes back or moves, she'll beat it again. She is a little more nimble than what would be expected from one of her size, so it can come as a surprise when she rushes at someone. She relies on her strength over everything, and will keep hitting things until there is nothing left to hit.

Background
Alex is well known among many towns as someone who helps out those in need. She has been on the road for as long as she could remember, just traveling. She a wanderer with no place to call home, though that is by choice. She does jobs when she goes into towns, making enough money for food and lodgings. She really doesn't mind life on the road, and if she ever had a reason to, she would settle down.
But that is her surface persona. Her early life was not so simple, or bright.
Alexandorial was hatched among the dead, deep below the planet's surface. The first thing her eyes witnessed as she came from her egg was the bodies of what she would later know to be her parents, in a nest surrounded by the hatchlings and un-hatched eggs of who she would soon realize were to have been her siblings. As far as her small eyes could see, all she saw were the bodies of Amethyst Dragons in their domain. The egg she had hatched from, had ruby patches among it, as well as some of her scales having turned from Amethyst to Ruby. She was infected by the parasites, but somehow survived it. And as far as she knew, and still knows, she is the last of her kind.
The young hatchling, in her very simple mind, couldn't comprehend what transpired around her, or what the entities were. She felt a faint connection between the two large bodies near her, but that was all. But when she realized that the air would forever be still around her, and that she was the only thing that would move, she did only what the hunger told her to do. She resorted to eating the bodies that were no bigger than herself, in order to keep herself from starving. She continued eating the remains of her family, and her kind, until she was strong enough to be on her own. The parasites had left her weak as a hatchling, but she ended up much larger, and stronger, than any of the Amethyst Dragons that came before her, which could quite possibly be that the amethyst that made up the others, became a part of her when she ate them.
Growing up alone and with no guidance, Alexandoriel did what she could to learn how to live. It wasn't until she discovered the Amethyst Kingdom, an underground nation full of humans, elves, and other races, that she first had contact with anything other than the dead. She was curious about them, and watched them from afar. Within a few years of observing, she changed her form for the first time, into a human similar to those she had seen, but with her own appearance, taking on the name Alexandra Drake.
Many years passed, and she learned much about life from the different races that made up the nation. And it was then that she realized what it was she had done, and who those she had eaten were. She disappeared back into one of the many caves of the underworld, falling into a deep state of depression and disgust of herself. She had eaten her family, and her kind. She realized that she was the last, and she didn't know how to live with herself. It was around that point, that dark, shadowy beings started to come from the darkness, and attacked the Amethyst Kingdom's outlying cities, taking the souls of the victims.
King Alius (A-lī-us), the ruler of the Amethyst Kingdom, sent his armies out to try to stop the beings, but were unable to. Alexandra knew what she had to do. Returning to her dragon form, She flew to the kingdom, and defended it against the beings that simply became known as the Dark Ones. She successfully defeated them, but no sooner than she had, did the Ruby Kingdom show up. The Ruby Kingdom were a conquering nation, having taken over many of the nations around it when they first formed, and have been after the Amethyst Kingdom for some time.. .. and with the Army came Ruby Scorpions.. entities that she had not seen before, but could feel that she knew them.
The Amethyst dragon was wounded by the Dark Ones, and was hardly in condition to fight off the Army and Scorpions, but she did so, soon resorting to returning to her human form, and crafting the Amethyst Hammer from her own fallen scales, and using metal for the shaft of it, and crushed the scorpions.
Defeating the Army, and the Scorpions, she was taken back into the kingdom by King Alius, and nursed back to health. Having no kids of his own, he named the Dragon his successor, and defender of the Amethyst Kingdom. In honor of what she had done, their official crest became a dragon who's tail was coiled around a crystal, in blue and purple.
With the passing of King Alius, she spent many thousand years defending the kingdom until the time came that the Ruby Kingdom finally fell. With the threats to the kingdom having passed, and having ensured she trained the best successor, she left her home, in search for others to help. It was what she felt her calling was, the reason she survived. She found the way to the surface, and has been wandering ever since.

She is a little more nimble than what would be expected from one of her size, so it can come as a surprise when she rushes at someone. She relies on her strength over everything, and will keep hitting things until there is nothing left to hit.
Abilities:
- Human Shape: Alex has the capability to change between her true form, half form, and a human form. It is the same form every time, and is unable to alter her appearance, though her hair grows naturally, and will regrow if ever cut. Any wounds or loss of limbs will remain when returning to her true form. The use of this has been limited because of the Ruby Parasites she has been infected with since she was a hatchling. They remain dormant as long as she is in her human form, but can become active when she goes into her dragon form, worst case being the parasites draining her energy and spreading, which would lead to her eventual death. The parasites, themselves, react only to Amethyst Dragons and cannot infect anyone else.
This is only one of the reasons why she only changes into her dragon form when dealing with things beyond her strength in her other forms. The other reason is because she believes that while living among the surfaces races, she should live as one. She wouldn't want to cause panic, as well as be outcast because of what she was. - Dragon Strength: Alex has a bit of her dragon strength while in human form. This allows her to wield the Amethyst hammer as easily as any normal sized weapon, and be able to demolish most structures in over half the time it would take for humans to. She also has the ability to control her strength, and beat someone senseless without inflicting fatal wounds though they may (and most likely) end up crippled.
- Dragon Resilience: Alex is able to take quite a bit more punishment than the average human. Part of it could be attributed to her determination and refusal to give up, but the majority of it is due to her dragon toughness. Her wounds only heal a fraction faster than a human's, but she will get up and continue on until her body is beaten, crushed, and physically incapable of moving. Of course, while she may still have the capability to fight, doesn't mean she is effective at that point. As she loses blood, gains painful wounds, and limbs get damaged, she starts to become weaker as one would suspect. She isn't invincible, just harder to kill than most.
Weapon:
- The Amethyst Hammer-
The Amethyst Hammer, seems to be just that. It is a hammer who's head seems to be carved out of an amethyst crystal, and is about the size of an average human. Despite its look, it isn't fragile at all. She has crumbled many a wall and bones without it even cracking.
Gear:
- Hammer Harness: This specially designed harness holds her hammer. Due to the weight of the hammer, it is made from some of the strongest hides from the Amethyst Region, and holds the hammer upright with the head behind Alex's head. The straps reach up and wrap around the head and across her shoulders, tied off on the rings embedded into the shoulder straps. This allows her to free the hammer from a fixed state for her to pull it from the harness. The harness has a backpack with straps that fixate on the straps of the harness, allowing both easy removal from the harness, and the capability of carrying items on her back.
- Harness Backpack: This is the backpack that fits with the harness. Because of Alex's size, and the size of the harness, this backpack can carry much more than normal sized ones. It is also made of the same hides as the harness, being resistant to wear and tear.
- Mess Kit: The Mess kit is custom designed for her from cooks in the Amethyst Region. It includes cooking pot, pan, two plates, two bowls, two mugs, and utensils.
- Spare Clothes: Alex has at least three pairs of spare clothes, which are similar to her normal outfit. She also has one blue and purple dress that she almost never wears.
- Ten days of Dried food: These dried foods consist mostly of meat. For normal humans, it would last roughly twice as long.
- A pouch of 400 Golds worth of Amethyst Scales: These scales are the currency of the Amethyst Kingdom, where she originated. They are, as they suggest, carved amethyst scales, with diamonds in them. The diamonds determine the denomination, to a full diamond scale being the maximum denomination. (If this is too much, let me know. Not sure of the exchange rate and such)
