(This is a character related post regarding Kharask Torn Flames, my Dragonborn Inspiring Warlord)
Kharask is tall and powerfully built, even for a dragonborn. He stands nearly seven feet tall, and weighs just over 300 pounds. The scales that cover most of his body are a dull rust color, with the thicker scales that cover his fore arms, shins, upper back, neck and top of his head being a dark scarlett in color. Thick black horns hang from the back of his head in typical dragonborn fashion, and his eyes are small, blood red beads, barely visible due to the similar colored scales. If seen without gear, onlookers will take note of several deep groves over Kharasks bodies, these grooves are actually deep scars that the warlord has recieved during his past. One particularly deep scar is in the upper portion of his left shoulder, and to this day those that know Kharask are aware that he has limited mobility with that arm. There are also small blackened grooves along the backs of his neck, these grooves vent blasts of flame behind him when he uses his powerful lungs to send balls of fire deep into enemy lines. The scales around his mouth are blackened by the flames the Dragonborn uses, but the dragonborns teeth maintain a menacing polish to them. The dragonborns claws on his arms and legs sport long, black talons that he uses more for climbing than for combat. Kharask sports many items in combat and while on adventures, here is a current list. As far as armor goes, the Dragonborn don's a finely crafted suit of enchanted chainmail, the very chains themselves look crafted out of the most highly polished of silvers, and never seem to diminish or become tarnished. The armor is mostly a sleeveless coat, though there are side flaps that trail to the sides of the dragonborns thighs. His main weapon these days is a gigantic warhammer, the handle being crafted out of heavy black iron, and the weapons head being crafted from a larger crafted piece of black iron. A wave of force distorts the hammers head, and those not used to wielding such a weapon find it difficult and heavy to wield. On his arms he carries heavy black iron bracers that help protect his arms from enemy attacks, but better still, are enchanted to enhance the dragonborns momentum of every swing, allowing him to do even more damaging blows with his great hammer. Around his neck he wears a simple metal diamond shaped pendant, in the center of this pendant is a dull red stone. When battle begins, the stone slowly becomes brighter, and when an ally is in danger, it shines its brightest, the magic light flying forth to help aid an ally in trouble. On his back he always carries his two scars banner, a large banner which is red in color, and notched with two black scars. The banner has a slight enchantment, bolstering nearby allies with battle vigor. Fastening his armor is a simple leather, and black iron belt. The enchantments on this item allow him to move faster in response to his foes, and anticipate there movements with great alacrity. He's known to carry several other items of interest as well, such as a golden lion that can transform into a real beast on command. Also he supposedly has an enchanted javelin that can soar great distances, and bring down fliers to the dragonborns level.
Regardless of his gear, the dragonborn is a fearesome opponent that is hard to ignore.
(ok, i'll have more posts soon!)
