misc info: ━ born and lived the majority of his life in mont maudit before war between humans and dragons drove him from his home when he was only nineteen; while he fought he received a large wound on his left wing, one that makes it difficult to fly for long periods even to this day ━ donning a human disguise he hid himself among them while he recovered, leaving him to nurse his wounded pride by himself, with little knowledge as to his remaining family's whereabouts ━ very rarely changes his form any more, accepting that his days as a full dragon are likely far behind him
━ as gruff as he can be he has a soft spot for animals, often feeding the stray cats in his area if he has the food left over ━ despite living around them he still harbors a deep rooted dislike towards humans, one that he still sometimes struggles to hold back outside of the fighting ring ━ generally gets along better with strong willed people, or at the very least people who are blunt and up front; be honest with him and he'll be honest with you |
misc info: ━ one of the most notable things about itsuo is that he's undoubtedly an unapologetic asshole; snarky, arrogant, competitive, crude and even reckless at times, the latter fuelled by a need for adrenaline. when it comes to work, however, he's extremely driven and focused, having earned a name for himself for being ruthless with hunting ━ his daughter was the result of a one night stand between him and a friend of a friend seven years ago; her mother renounced custody of her when she was a few months old due to a severe case of ppd, it was admittedly a struggle to adapt to suddenly having the responsibility of looking after a child but somehow he managed ━ one of his hunting jobs had him crossing paths with a witch, resulting in a heavy cursed being placed upon him; it started with whispers in his ear and a sense of restlessness, escalating to possession and waking up in places he doesn't recognise. it isn't widely known knowledge, something he keeps firmly to himself unless deemed important ━ given his curse and the nature of his work itsuo distanced himself from his family when his daughter was two, sending a large sum of money each month to his sister to look after her ━ probably uses two in one shampoo and conditioner, he's all about convenience ━ tri-lingual, speaks predominantly english and japanese but also knows conversational mandarin |
misc info: ━ above all else mamoru prides himself in being a warrior, constantly pushing himself to be the best fighter that he can. in the heat of battle he's relentless and merciless, cutting down enemies without hesitation ━ particularly skilled in hand to hand combat, sword fighting and flame wielding, struggles with archery (unfortunate habit of accidentally breaking bows) and views poison as a coward's weapon ━ eldest son of a demon lord, currently has three younger brothers and one younger sister ━ arrogant, headstrong and incredibly opinionated, it's difficult for him to look at things from other peoples' points of view ━ incredibly protective over his younger siblings, even if he wouldn't admit it out loud ━ well versed in battle strategies, and while he's capable of fighting alongside others, he finds it easier and less distracting to fight one on one ━ cats seem to be drawn to him, not much of a surprise since he runs a lot warmer than the average human,
