Zack Kori

Icy Spearman of the HGO

26

Male

He/him

6'2"

161 lbs.

Sparse, revealing, pragmatic

Zack's hair is one of his more notable features: its shaggy, shoulder-length locks are prematurely gray thanks to unlucky genetics. He stands at 6'2" and has a toned figure with strong arms and legs, though he has trouble keeping real weight on. His narrow, bony face is all angles around the nose and jaw, while his icy blue eyes draw the most attention. There is a tattoo of a blue serpent on his lower abdomen, on the right side.

In his Drake form, Zack is slightly shorter than the average land drake, standing at seven feet when on all sixes. His body is covered in bright blue scales, the same color as his eyes, with slightly off-hue patches throughout and a much brighter shade on his underbelly. Two horns jut from the back of his skull, curving backwards for added smoothness in flight.

Cold weather, flying, suspenseful books, nature

People who don't fight smart, thinking aloud, sweet food

Being trapped, getting old, dying without leaving a mark on the world

Geology, origami and papercraft, smithing, spelunking

Heterosexual

While other people would describe Zack with words like "creepy" or "cold," he prefers "quiet." He only speaks when necessary, and even then, it's in the shortest sentences and tersest tones possible. He's highly confident and competent, but doesn't like people knowing too much about him. Despite his quiet nature, he has an adventurous spirit and loves to travel and explore. His icy tendencies melt away in drake form, when he becomes a little unhinged and tends to act on wild impulses.

Land Drake form

Various spears and halberds

Zack's fighting style is precise and calculated. He does not make any moves without clear intent and opportunity, and his magic is just as fine-tuned and controlled. He's more than capable of casting spells while keeping his tells to a minimum.

Blacksmith

Zack was the oldest of Alex Relson's adopted children when they all first met.

• has always been quiet af, no one really knows what to make of him but he's not outright aggressive so people just leave him alone


• strong penchant for smithing, supplies most of the HGO's weapons


• secretly despises his human form, but he keeps his drake form and all his adventures in it a secret so people don't ask too many questions


• (he was born with it, retcon the weird drakekin stuff)

"Only when it becomes necessary."

"No."

"I answer their questions honestly. Unless it's about my drake side. And I don't volunteer information."

"I would accept, and work with the child to figure out what they want from me."

"Calmly."

"I prefer not to draw too much attention to myself."

"It's a waste of time."

"I sleep naked most of the time."

"Fearlessness."

"People who talk to themselves, or make other needless noises."

"It's plain. I don't have any strong attachment to it."

"I can be... disabled easily, when trapped in a tight space."

"I hate my human body, but not my drake one."

"... My own mortality, mostly."

"No."
