Author's Note: Helloooo everyone! How're you doing? I'm doing great, especially since Crab Fest is next week! I'm so pumped that I decided to actually try doing a Homebrew D&D story, only this time, I've developed a party that I think you guys might like, as the Party I developed are based on and inspired by my best friends, whose usernames are as follows: Wolfflight of ShadowClan, Priscilla the Ancient One, SailorSunPhoenix, Longclaw 1-6, and BlackDomus500! This story is not only one I hope you all will enjoy, but also all of my friends shall enjoy as well, because this story is one big thank you to all of them for being my friends over the years. So here is how I plan to do this. Any of you who know of the manga called "So I'm a Spider, so what?" will know what I intend to do with this story.

Well this move wasn't entirely inspired by that manga alone, there is a D&D Story I like where the main character of said story is a Red Dragon turned Good, which, thanks to the release of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, is actually a perfect story thanks to a little event i like to call "The Great Revelation". It is basically a catastrophe throughout the D&D Multiverse that broke the spiritual shackles that forced Chromatics and Metallic Dragons to serve Tiamat and Bahamut respectfully, and now they are free to choose which side of the conflict, and which of the two Gods, they serve. Gemstone Dragons also have the same freedom, as they worshiped Sardior alone originally, so now they can choose which side they belong to. Thanks to NooShoak's "Crimson Scales, Heart of Gold" story, I'm inspired to create my own story that has my own Dragon Wyrmling as the main protagonist!

So a Sapphire Wyrmling will be the main character, but for the sake of character creation, I will be using the Sapphire Dragonborn's Race to keep track of things, and make it slightly easier to create him. As for his class, I shall keep that a secret until we get into the chapter. So i hope you guys like what I have planned!

As for the rest of our motley crew of six, these will be much easier to explain! So let's begin with the love of my life, Wolfflight of ShadowClan! You see, it was only up until somewhat recently that I suggested to my lovely girlfriend we try doing Dungeons and Dragons based roleplaying, and honestly, it has been the most fun we've had in years, and I wouldn't trade a second of it, especially the shenanigans we got ourselves into! So when I recently asked her what kind of D&D character she would want me to make for this story, and after some back and forth, she chose Fire Genasi and a Circle of the Moon Druid. She did make the comment that she was a Night Owl, and I was thinking she'd have chosen Owlin, but meh, I'm happy with her choice! It's awesome, it's unique, and I think it fits her!

For Longclaw 1-6, I am a real fan of his works, though I will admit I haven't been keeping up on them as I would like lately due to work getting a bit intense lately. Anyway Longclaw has been a good friend of mine and has helped me out significantly over the past few years, and I am glad to name him a friend, so I asked him about creating an Oc based on him, and he decided on something I think is rather appropriate! You see, a while back, I had mentioned how I could name most of the Major Houses of Game of Thrones as D&D Races, and one of them I named as a race was the Starks as Longtooth Shifters. So when I mentioned I was creating a D&D Story, and asked what race he would like to have his race be based on his username, and out of the three options, funnily enough, he chose the Longtooth Shifters! Also to pay a bit of homage to my version of Jon Snow, I'm having it that he is going to be a Drakewarden Ranger, who, on the regular, has Ghost as his Dragon instead of a Direwolf.

Next is SailorSunPhoenix! She and I met randomly on DeviantArt, and I have to say, once I found out she and her husband were fans of Dungeons and Dragons, I honestly couldn't be happier, especially once Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft was released, so we could bring her favorite oc to life! Speaking of which, her Character will be a Dhampir with an Urchin Background and a Soulknife Rogue Class. This was recently developed when we tried to do a Sly Cooper based D&D rp, and honestly, it turned out better than I thought it would! Plus, the backstory we developed has me excited, so I can't wait to see it implemented into this story!

Next is the character of one of my oldest friends, and my Ex-Girlfriend, Priscilla the Ancient One. You see, before I started got together with Wolfflight, I met Priscilla, and thanks to our shared interests we became fast-friends and even became boyfriend and girlfriend at one point. However, once we learned she has a condition that makes it impossible for her to feel Romantic Love for another person, we broke up on good terms and have remained friends ever since. Still, she is one of my oldest friends since I was in my early teens, so I want to pay homage to her in this story by bringing one of my favorite ocs she created to life. This character will be based on the Van Helsing from the "Van Helsing". She will be an Aasimar Blood Hunter, and if you guys watched that movie you will know why. If not, spoiler alert, Van Helsing in that movie is actually the Archangel Gabriel, and that will be the case for Prisci's character in this story, as for Blood Hunter, that will come from her mother, Princess Anna Valerious. Though in this story, things would end differently for Van Helsing and the Princess (Mostly thanks to Carl being an Artificer/Cleric), and Priscilla's oc won't know about her father's true self until later in the story. Trust me, it will be fun when it happens!

Finally, we have BlackDomus500, a person who is writing my favorite Persona Stories, "A Joker's Panther". Not only that, I like to think we're really good friends, and when I introduced him to Dungeons and Dragons, I can say that he's been doing a lot of research and creating some great characters! His most recent one, and with a bit of research from me, we've developed a race, class, and backstory combo that I think you guys will like. A Feral Tiefling that is a War Cleric! As for his Deity, well, let's just say things will get interesting in this Prologue!

(5/26/2022 Edit: After thinking over everything, I could've done so much better with this character creation, I am going to be redoing all of Drugo's Stats and character creation rules, so I can fix things and make sure everything is better than it was before. So sorry about this)

Now that that is over with, let's begin the chapter, and then I shall bring in the Backstories for each character and end the chapter for the day! Please be sure to Follow, Favorite, Review, and Share this story with everyone you know who likes Dungeons and Dragons Stories! Catch ya on the Flipside! NAT 20!

Prologue: Isekai and Backstories

Traves Medina opens his eyes as he looks around, himself sitting on the shores at the base of a great mountain, one he recognizes from his research and from the illustrations and descriptions of this place. "I'm on Mount Celestia!? But How!?" Traves looks at his hands, "I wasn't a good person, nor was I as Lawful as I wanted to be…" He clenches his fists, shedding tears.

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, young man…!" A man in platinum colored robes with a pointed hat says, walking over to the young man. "Or you may find Cavities in it!"

"Lord Bahamut!" Traves says, kneeling to the God, terrified. "Wh-What is going on here?"

"Oh, so you recognize me? I see you must be more of a bookworm than I thought you were!" He says, laughing at the young man. "Please…" He manifests a table with food and chairs, "Sit, we have much to discuss!" Standing up, Traves hesitantly walks over to the table and carefully takes what appears to be a glass of water to steady his nerves. "Now, I am sure you must be wondering why you are here."

"Yes, sir…" Traves says, drinking the water.

"Well I will be blunt then… You might not know this, but the Homebrew Material Realms created by the many dungeon masters of your world are on the brink of collapse, especially yours."

"Mine?" Traves asks, "You mean Anora?"

"Yes! This world you created has never been explored or expanded upon, as such, it is in danger of collapsing… I need you to go there!"

"But how? And what am I supposed to do when I get there?" he gestures to his obese body, "I'm not exactly built to be an adventurer!"

"That is why you will be reincarnated into this world as one… However, there is the problem with the Great Revelation causing problems for this world as well!" Bahamut explains. "Well, to be honest, it's more of an annoyance than an actual problem… The fact that the dragons are no longer obligated to follow either Tiamat or I exclusively, it's been causing a number of annoyances in the Material World, and so, if it is possible, I would like for you to act as my ambassador to these dragons, to see if they would be willing to fight for me, and they can be either Chromatic, Metallic, or even Gemstone, as long as I have dragons fighting for my side and balancing out my sister, I'll be happy."

"I can't promise I will be able to do it, but I shall do what I can if you'll allow that!"

"Just do your best and I shall accept it!" Bahamut says, smiling. "Now the only question is, what do you intend to do for your new self in this world?"

"Well there was something that has always tempted me since the release of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and after reading the story called "Crimson Scales, Heart of Gold"..."

"Oh yes that was quite the compelling story that inspired me to unleash the Great Revelation myself!" Bahamut interrupts, much to Traves's annoyance.

"I have wanted to try creating a Player Character using a Dragon Wyrmling Stat Block, and build a character around that using the "Customizing Dragons" rules within that book." Traves explains, "I tried doing the same thing with creating a homebrew race, but it turned out to be too overpowered for anybody to want to use it."

"Well then how about I grant your request?"

"Huh?" Traves asks, stunned.

"You choose the Dragon Wyrmling you want to be, and I will all you to modify this dragon within certain limits of the customization rules. However, there is something I need you to do for me!" He then brings out a Fifth Edition Character Sheet, along with the Sapphire Dragon's Stat Block, much to Traves's Surprise. "You will create your Sapphire Wyrmling, but I have some conditions for you to do so!" The God then brings out a list, in which Traves takes a look and finds the Character Creation Rules he has to follow:

Rule #1: Your Character's Race, when it comes to base abilities, shall be that of either a Sapphire Dragonborn or a Custom Lineage.

Rule #2: Your Class and Background Combination must allow you to obtain at least 2 of the Wyrmling's Proficiencies in History, Perception, Persuasion, and Stealth

Rule #3: You will have a Breath Weapon that is a half-Strength variant of a Sapphire Dragon Wyrmling's Debilitating Breath Feature that follows the Dragonborn Breath Weapon Rules.

Rule #4: You shall have the Sapphire Dragon Wyrmling's Walking, Flying, Climbing, and Burrowing Speeds

Rule #5: Your Armor Class will be calculated as 10 + your Dexterity Modifier + Your Intelligence Modifier.

Rule #6: If you choose a class that allows you to choose the Unarmed Fighting Style, then your regular Unarmed Strikes will be considered your Claws, your Armed-Unarmed Strikes will be considered your Bite, and your Unarmed-Unarmed will be considered your Tail. In all cases, you will add 1d4 Thunder Damage along with the regular damage rolls. At 6th Level, your attacks will be considered Magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Rule #7: When it comes to your stats, you will be using the Strength of the Wyrmling, with the Young Sapphire Dragon's Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, whilst you will roll Constitution and Dexterity.

Rule #8: During the final steps, I will help you decide on the abilities that will be transferred over from the Sapphire Dragon Wyrmling.

Rule #9: You will customize your dragon's appearance using the Customize Dragon rules from Fizban's Treasury of Dragons.

Rule #10: Starting Character Level is 3.

So with these rules in mind, Traves nods to the god and gets to work on writing out his character sheet, taking every character creation rule set out before him as he thinks carefully about the choices he is going for. Deciding to be extremely cautious about all this, he chooses the Custom Lineage and marks it down as Sapphire Wyrmling and decides to allocate his stat bonus into Strength, knowing it might be his most needed stat, and choosing both Darkvision for the Variable Trait and the Athlete feat to raise the Strength Stat to 20. After this, he begins to puzzle out which Class and Background he should go with, and, after thinking on it, decides to be a bit cheeky and decides to go with Fighter and Urban Bounty Hunter to get all of the Skill Proficiencies that the Sapphire Dragon has, and specifically goes for the Psi-Warrior Subclass, since he is starting at 3rd Level. Gemstone Dragons are Psionic by nature, so this will work just fine!

After this, he then moves to the stats and carefully inputs all of the numbers in he is told to put in and then takes the dice. "You're allowed to roll the dice six times, Pick Two from the results…" Bahamut says, smiling. Traves nods and rolls the dice… First Result is an 8… Second is an 11… Third is a 14… 4th is a 10… and the 5th and 6th both come out as 18s! It's obvious what Traves chooses, and he writes down the following stats with all boosts included:

Strength: 20

Dexterity: 18

Constitution: 18

Intelligence: 16

Wisdom: 15

Charisma 16

However, the moment he puts down the final number, Traves feels his body being wracked with pain as he stumbles backwards, groaning in pain as he feels his skin harden, his bones cracking and shattering as they rearrange themselves, with bones growing out of his back, the young man screaming in agony as he transforms into a Sapphire Dragon that stands at 6ft tall at the shoulder, whilst his body length is 18ft, and has a maximum wingspan of 36ft wide. His scream turns to a roar, Bahamut looks to see a Sapphire Dragon, however, the god smiles and rolls a d4, with the roll resulting in a 4, and Traves's body begins to violently change with this. Forming all over the Sapphire Dragon's body are sharp, serrated scales, almost like that of a shark's but visible… Sonic energy vibrates the air around the dragon's mouth and along it's scales… Spikes and spurs flow out the knees, elbows, and external side of the forelimbs, creating razor sharp spurs that are blade-like in appearance… Finally, the dragon's body is of an unusual color, as black as everlasting darkness, whilst the starbursts on his body are as white as freshly fallen snow. This Black Sapphire Dragon looks at Bahamut, looking at the God, kneels to the God in it's human form, and the old man simply smiles at him. "Very good, young man!" He then moves his hand and opens a portal, "Go now to Anora, find your place amongst the possible heroes of the world, and let your destiny unfurl!"

The Black Sapphire Dragon opens his wings and, instinctively, flies through the portal, allowing the winds underneath his wings to carry him. His eyes close as he smells the world that is calling him, and feels the winds pull him in through the portal… "And now it begins…" Traves says, smiling. However, as he flows through the portal, information floods into his head, causing him to roar in pain, only to crash into a tree, knocking it over and collapsing to the ground. He tries to pick himself up, finding the pain in his head and the strength lost in his body too much… As he looks ahead of him, he sees a humanoid figure, with red skin, a pair of prominent horns, a pair of wings, and a muscular tail, land in front of him, only for the darkness to take him… As he does so, he hears information and sees images appear in his mind, akin to the Character Biographies of Vox Machina…

Damosarion Oscuros:

Damos was the youngest sibling of several, born to the Archdevil Bel and one of his many mortal brides. Born in Avernus, the great battleground of the Nine Hells, Damos knew of his father's evil nature in public, but in private, he was a doting and supportive father and a great lover to his wives. He grew up on the stories of his father's exploits in the Field, and how he once ruled the First Layer of Baator unopposed, only to be demoted and supplanted by a fallen Archangel named Zariel. Not only that, Zariel took a keen interest in how many of Damos's brothers became uniquely shaped Pit Fiends upon their full promotion to the rank, specifically that of his eldest brothers, Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal, who had once been mortal tieflings who had created the Oath of Conquest.

Growing up with these stories, Damos came to hate Zariel, and the many campaigns that saw the death of the majority of his siblings, leaving only him and his sisters left, as they were too young to join the fighting. Knowing Zariel may come for them, Bel sent his brides and his newborns to the Material Plane, where they would hide and grow stronger amongst the Mortals. Thankfully, due to their connection to Bel and being unable to abandon their grandchild, his grandparents allowed him to stay with them and his mother, and helped raise him. During his time amongst his mortal family, he stumbled upon lost lore that indicated that his father, Bel, once had a divine following, but it was nearly lost thanks to Zariel. Still, with this, Damos began his training to become a Cleric of Divine Power, drawing upon his father's only remaining Domain; War. As such, Damos forged a new Holy Symbol, paying homage to both of his father's holy symbols from centuries past; a Signet Ring with a perfectly circular cabochon star ruby in the center, surrounded by an equilateral triangle made of sword blades with fangs biting down upon them in the center of each blade.

Upon finishing the setting for the Holy Symbol, Damos was given the chance to see his father again, who looked upon his son with pride, and declared the symbol his, before declaring his son his first War Cleric in centuries, showing his son the pride he had in his eldest surviving child by giving him the location of a potential partner who would help him battle the demonic hordes who found their way into the Material Realm. A Black Sapphire Dragon, whom lies wounded and weak… Promising to defeat every demon he can, even if it takes him multiple attempts, he swears his life and soul to his father before departing to investigate the Dragon… And now it begins…

Anastasiya "Ember" Elin

Ember grew up in the ancient tower designed castle known simply as the Watch, an adamantine and mithral castle designed in the form of a great fortress city with a massive tower ascending from the center. It is at the top of this tower where she was born to the Tsar Nicolai Elin and his wife, Empress "Flame" Alexandra, a Genasi born to one of the Noble Efreeti, the strongest of the Genies of the Plane of Fire. With her family's holdings being situated next to a Volcano in the middle of a great country covered in ice and snow, it was a wonder how she did not go insane from the constant shifting in temperature. However, despite this, Ember had grown to love only one thing about her homeland, the moon itself… It was during one of her childhood days that she found herself running and playing in the forest, only to get lost. It was then she was found by an Archdruid, Baba Yaga as many knew her as, who turned out to be more beautiful and wise than stories told of her. The Archdruid helped Ember return home, and vanished before she could say thank you. It was at that point that Anastasiya wanted to become like Baba Yaga, whom her father had sent messages to request her to come to the Watch.

It took years to find Yaga, but they eventually did, and, peacefully, she came to court, in which the Tsar requested he teach Ember about her form of Druidism, revealing the Tsar had once attempted to train as one himself, but his duties forced him to quit said training in order to bring peace to the realm. The Surprise in Yaga was palpable, but upon learning this, she said she would, if she could plant a Sacred Sapling in the Gardens of the Watch, which was granted. In a sacred druidic ceremony, the sapling was planted and a great tree grew in a matter of hours, causing the garden, which has been dying and needed replacing, rapidly grow vibrant and beautiful again, whilst the branches of the tree formed a window, to allow those who sat under it's branches to view the moon when the skies were clear. The Tsar, looking upon the beautiful silver blossoms and the snow white bark, called it the Lunnyy Tsvetok, the Lunar Blossom in ancient Druidic, and thanks Yaga, in which, with a sprinkling of holy water, the tree generated a pale silver light under the light of the moon, and thus Ember's Training began.

Ever since that day, until recently, Ember had trained in the ways of the Circle of the Moon, becoming proficient in beast shaping, and spells that generated pale silver light, white fire, and plants, but never did she neglect her training in the other arts of a druid. However, things began to change when a new Cleric made his way into the court, a man named Grigori Rasputin, a madman who utilized his divine magic to seduce women, and "teach" them the proper way to worship the gods. The Royal Family, including herself, was not convinced of Rasputin's preachings, even more so when they discovered his activities. However, it was until Rasputin had been discovered consorting with demons that action was taken. He was tricked into a banquet, where he was poisoned, beaten, shot, and stabbed to death, but unfortunately, it turned out to be just what he had been hoping they would do. For his death had opened a portal into the Abyss… For Seven Days and Seven Nights, the royal family and the militia battled the demons, whilst Anastasiya was forced to flee… And it was during the final battle that Baba Yaga used the Lunar Blossom's light to destroy the portal, but the damage was done, the majority of the royal family had been slaughtered, including her father, her mother had been driven insane by the tortures she suffered, and Baba Yaga had sacrificed her life to destroy the portal.

It couldn't have happened at a worse time either, for it was around the time she needed to perform her Noble Odyssey to prove she was worthy of being crowned Tsarina, so the Regent of the Watch, her cousin Prince Ivan, offered to rule the empire in her stead whilst she journeyed out into the world to prove herself, swearing before the Lunar Blossom to not usurp her power, but to return it once she is deemed worthy enough to take the throne. Ivan and Anastasiya had a strong familial bond, and thus knew she could trust him, and with this in mind, after the funeral and feast for the honored fallen, she set out upon her journey, praying to her parents and master to watch over her.

Longclaw

Longclaw, that was the name I was given when I was born… It is the name of an ancient sword that belonged to my family ever since ancient times. It is a Sunsword forged from the hilt of a Dragon Steel sword of ancient times, and it's blade broken during an ancient ritual to give it the power to kill a powerful lich from long long ago. This sword is passed down from Father to Eldest Son every generation upon coming of age, and that is where I come in… I am the Eldest Son… However… I am Illegitimate, a Bastard… I was born the bastard son of Lord Edward Beowulf, the King of Winter of the Northern Kingdoms, and, unlike the rest of his children, it appears the gods had some favor in me despite my birth.

I was born a Shifter, a rare but powerful trait born only to those of the Beowulf Family, and despite my status as the bastard, I was given this honor as the Firstborn son of King Edward, and much to the ire of Lord Edward's wife, Lady Catherine… I grew up in a household with a stepmother who hated me and took every chance to belittle and abuse me in every way but physically, a father who loved me, but was powerless to stop his wife, and siblings who loved me unconditionally, despite the eldest daughter, Sansa, wanting to imitate her mother, though unable to bring herself to do so. I grew up hoping that one day I could go to the Great Wall, a wall formed of magical ice along the Southern Borders of all the Northern Kingdom, and defend it from invaders from the south. However, that destiny was turned on it's head one night when I discovered what appeared to be a Geode hidden in the crypts. When I brought it up to my room to investigate, I fell unconscious, and I was greeted in my dreams by an old man surrounded by seven golden birds, who spoke of a great doom that was to come, and that I would need assistance to overcome it.

The next morning, I found in my arms a little white drake with red eyes sleeping against me, and it didn't take long for King Edward to discover this, in which he revealed who I really was, in secret with my siblings and my stepmother. The truth revealed that I was actually King Edward's nephew, and that his sister had eloped with a Prince from the South in order to avoid being forced to marry Lord Edward's best friend, a noble from House Lyrandar on the Island of Stormhold, and for love. My father, much to the shock of us all, was a Dragonborn Prince named Rhaemon Targarys, and it was thanks to his blood flowing through me that I had my connection to the Platinum Dragon God, Bahamut. Thanks to this, I knew that I had to leave, and so I did, telling only my siblings, and running away from home with my drake, whom I named Ghost… I hope one day I will be able to return, and when I do, I intend to freeze that Half-Elf bastard for what he did, and make him sleep with his sigil in the depths of the ocean.

Fiona Bloodmoon

Long Long ago… An ancient entity, now nameless and lost, was a creature of undefined evil… However, it's observations of the Material Realm over the centuries had caused it to rethink things, in how it wished to be worshiped, and how it wanted to be seen as a true god. As such, it reduced itself, allowing it's body and spirit to be reborn into that of a urchin woman's child. The entity's mother had died during childbirth, and the infant was found and taken in by somebody she did not intend…

It was a Tabaxi Master Thief, who raised her alongside an Owlin chick, both of whom had their families die. As she grew, she came to understand the Master Thief had taken her and the Owlin, named Werk, in to become his successors for a book of great knowledge on thievery, and from her adopted parent's description, Master Thieves steal from criminals, not innocent people, who do not deserve to be robbed. Thanks to this, she began to form a dogma of her own, modeled after her master's principles and his "honor among thieves" mentality, and as she and Werk trained together, they forged a bond, however… It was not to last…

On the night that she was born, the entity, named Fiona Bloodmoon, was passed the Book of Secret Arts, the book that was passed down through her master's family for generations. Unfortunately, her compatriot and fellow apprentice had not accepted this lying down, and had organized in gathering 5 comrades in order to defeat her master, and steal the book from her. They tore it apart, leaving only the cover and a few pages that none of the thieves thought were worth their while… Holding her dying master in her arms, for the first time in her life, Fiona cried, and her wail carried throughout the entire city, scaring all the people within it's walls. Using what remind of the Book of Secret Arts, she trained herself in the ways of the Soulknife, a newly developed form of fighting that her master had developed himself so that he would never be without a weapon, even if his physical ones were gone. Carrying the remains of the book, Fiona swore revenge, and promised that she would recover the missing pages and begin documenting her own adventures just like her master did. Watch out world, for Fiona Bloodmoon, adopted daughter of the Cooper Clan, is coming to take the world by storm, and may all the shinies be safely guarded…

Annamina Van Helsing

In another world, in another time, my parents wouldn't have obtained the happy ending they did… My father, transformed into a werewolf without the proper training, would've killed my mother, and I wouldn't have been born. I know this because of the one person who managed to make it possible unknowingly discovered this would have been the case had the Great One had not conferred his blessing upon the monk. His name was Carl, and he was close friends with my mother, Anna Valerious, and my father, Gabriel Van Helsing, one of the Great Archangels of Mount Celestia, reborn as a human. My mother was the last living princess of Transylvania, a kingdom on the Eastern half of the Western Kingdoms… Having married the famed monster hunter and warrior for the church, Van Helsing, she had ascended to the throne and continued to guard the Right Flank of the Holy Empire of Rome.

But I am getting ahead of myself, and I should start at the beginning, nearly 4 centuries ago, the Archangel, Gabriel, descended upon the world and aided mankind against the forces of darkness, eventually facing off against a powerful but evil tyrant named Count Vladislaus Dracula, the son of one of my ancestors. Dracula, driven mad with grief at the loss of his wife, swore vengeance against the Great One and his compatriots, and made a deal with Orcus, the Demon Lord of decay and undeath in order to become a Vampire of unmatched power… Valerious the Elder made a deal with the Gods that neither he nor his family would enter Mount Celestia until Dracula was put to death permanently. The gods accepted this deal, and they gave Valerious a prophecy in how he could kill Dracula, but as evil as the vampire was, Valerious couldn't kill his own son. So he left the clues hidden in places that could be found to ensure that his descendants could.

Unfortunately, Valerious hid the details too well, and thus, nearly 400 years passed since Dracula became a vampire, and it wasn't until my father and his artificer/cleric subordinate came to Transylvania and stumbled upon the needed information. It turns out that a Blood Hunter, a holy warrior who uses dark magic, allows themselves to become a werewolf and was required to bite Dracula during their fight in order to end him for good. However, as Blood Hunters, unknowingly, had been hunted by the church to the brink of extinction, they had to do the next best thing, my father had to submit himself to becoming a werewolf via my uncle Valkan, who had recently been turned, and then bite Dracula. The Gamble paid off, and thanks to my mother curing my father before he fully turned, and Carl resurrecting my mother before she fully passed on, my parents got their happy ending.

Thankfully, in the years since, thanks to Valerious's information being spread to the Holy Empire of Rome, all remaining Blood Hunter Orders were found and the Church not only apologized for their actions, but also welcomed their brothers with open arms, and thanks to the Great One revealing that the Monster of Frankenstein was of the race called Reborn, he was spared by the Church and the creature chose to become a Blood Hunter to repay his debt to Van Helsing and aid in the hunting of evil creatures. A few years would pass and I would be born, and I chose to become a Blood Hunter myself, deciding to become a Ghostslayer to ensure I could send my blood curses into things that don't have blood if necessary… Unfortunately, during my father and mother's final job, they were ambushed by a group of vampires, and both killed themselves rather than be turned to evil. As such, as the only surviving member of the Valerious Royal Family, I am to become queen, however, thankfully, the Church sent an Envoy so that I could continue to train until I become strong enough to rule and protect my people. Now I am on a mission, to slaughter the vampires who murdered my family, and then spend my days ruling my kingdom in peace…

Traves feels his mind hurting with all this information, but then, much to his surprise, he sees himself before him, and he remembers a character he once created, a version of the Bit Beast Dragoon from Beyblade, a bit beast he created himself, though it's name is a bit embarrassing. However, he knows he will need a name, and there is nothing that he can think of for this instance, so… He decides to bite his pride and then proceeds with mentally constructing his own backstory.

Drugo'Naigo

I was born wrong, according to my mother and siblings… My scales were not the vibrant and beautiful blue as most Sapphire Dragons were born to… Nor did I have the gifts that others of my kind were blessed with… Sure I was bigger than my siblings, but I was also weaker than them… As such, I was driven from my mother's nest… Force to fight my way out of the Underdark… My mother was the great sapphire dragon Saphira, a great warrior who fought countless wars throughout her 8 centuries of life, and I was born as the progeny of her and a Sapphire Dragon Greatwyrm who honored her with his seed. All of my siblings were born of his brilliant blue coloration, however, my coloration was black as the Underdark, with white starburst patterns covering my body, whilst my siblings were all of the royal blue coloration…

I was born as weak as a Dragonborn, and yet I found strength in it, for I was born with abilities my siblings did not have… I was born more dexterous, smarter, wiser, and more charismatic than my siblings, and despite my breath weapon and other capabilities being much weaker than them and not inheriting our natural magic, I was proud of who I was born as. Eventually though, I was forced out of the nest, and I had to fight my way out of the Underdark. It was a harrowing time, as I had to avoid many dangers that were beyond my strength to do so, and I had to sparingly eat the spiders I encountered to avoid the wrath of the Drow. Eventually though, I made my way out of the Underdark, only to collapse from near starvation… That was until I woke up in a temple of some kind, surrounded by Drow…

At first I was terrified until I learned that these were Eilistraee Drow, Drow who left the Underdark and joined the surface world. Despite the fact that I was a Sapphire Dragon and not a Silver Dragon, they know of how Sapphire Dragons eat Spiders, the holy animals of the Spider Queen Lolth, and only recently were Sapphire Dragons added to her list of holy monsters due to this discovery. When I was discovered by some passing Eilistraee Drow, they brought me to the temple and slowly restored me to my full strength whilst I was unconscious, and with them I stayed for a good number of months as a warrior who shared their faith, a Psi Warrior, caught my interest, and I begged him to teach me how to fight like he did. He agreed to it, much to my delight, and over the next several weeks, I trained under him, and eventually managed to master the basics of being a Psi Warrior, learning to use my natural psionic gifts to defend myself and deal with my enemies.

When I felt the wider world calling me, I stayed one more night with the Eilistraee Drow, to say my goodbyes to the friends I had made and share in the last feast for the Goddess whose people had saved me, and offer a prayer to Dark Maiden in thanks. The next morning I flew off into the wider world, only to find that my stomach was acting up, I hadn't realized it right then and there, but I think something I ate the night before hadn't agreed with me, in which the pain and nausea was pulling me down, where I crashed into a tree. As the darkness took me, I was found by a winged figure…

Smiling at his chosen Backstory, Traves, now Drugo'Naigo decided to let the darkness take him, hoping it was one of his future party members that found him. At least he hoped it was as he feels his stomach still acting funny, only for that feeling to slowly be washed away… As he opens his eyes, he finds himself lying beside a fire and only to void his stomach of what he ate, and it appeared to be a large hunk of meat. He then hears chuckling as he turns to see who it is, a crimson skinned tiefling with navy blue eyes, and shoulder length hair of black, whilst sporting what appears to be a small pair of horns, and a fanged mouth with a smirk.

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
