Birth name: Jinairen Flaymhart
Preferred name: Jin
Job: Prince, apprentice, knight, knight captain, Silver lord, thief/outcast.
Age: 72 (looks roughly 19)
Race: Half-dragon
Appearance: Spiked but messy red hair (kh fans can think Axel), long coat, usually adorned with black feathers around the collar. He wears tall, black leather boots, and various belts, each of which bares either a sword or dagger. He has a pair of thick leather gloves, which end short to allow him to make use of his claws. He has two large, red dragon wings, and a tail to match. His blue eyes always seem to be wracked with sorrow, despite his generally cheerful mood.

Bio: Jin is the 'supposed' son of Alastor and Iris, king and queen of the red dragons, but through magical means of shape-changing, he was actually born of a hidden love between Iris and a master (human) swordsman. When he was born, Alastor was infurated. Enough so that Iris only just managed to have one of her attendants fly off with Jin before Alastor murdered her. Brought to live with his human father, Jin learned how to be a knight, and soon became one, serving the nearby kingdom.

He quickly achieved the highest rank possible, along with his best friend Dart. However, when the prince became king, everything went wrong. The new king was evil incarnate, in Jin's words. It didn't take long before he was cast out of the city and stripped of his knighthood. Damning all things related to the knights, he foreswore his learned secrets of the sword, and promised himself never to give his life to the service of another.

While he's not my character, he is in my story, with user permission, so here we go. Oh, and Kirk, if you want to make corrections, just put them in a 'comment'.

The bio!

Dart was born the child of a middle-class merchant. He always dreamed of becoming a knight, even built a practice area with dummies, hurdles, and climbing walls behind his father's shop. When a knight of Leigharn came to the shop, claiming to have seen great potential in the merchant's son, and offered to take him as his squire, the merchant refused, saying that he needed the boy to help around the shop. That very night, Dart ran from the shop. He ran until his legs couldn't carry him any further, and he collapsed next to a tree.

Dart awoke to the sight of a huge boar charging at him. Only barely managing to dodge to the side as it plowed into the tree, he quickly got to his feet. He hadn't thought to bring a weapon so he quickly dove at it, wrapping his arms around it's neck, trying to force it to the ground. He was still a bit asleep though, and it tossed him off, then tried to gore him with it's tusks. It only caught a little flesh as he dodged to the side once again, but the pain awoke him, and adrenaline over took him. He pounded his fists against the boars skull time and time again, eventually breaking it, and stood back, nursing his now bloody knuckles as the boar collapsed. Once again he collapsed, the sound of soft steps and a mocking voice lulled him to sleep.

He woke to find that he had been carried by someone back to a small town in the forest. After praises of his unarmed combat with the boar spread, he was quickly made the squire of a resident knight, then knighted. Not three days after the ceremony, news came that the knights of Leigharn were fast approaching. Dart steeled himself for his first real battle...but he was not prepared for what fate had in store for him.
