HAIR: Black with tints of silver grayish

GENERAL: Edmond would in general not try to look different. His clothes are for practical purpose only. If he is going on foot, then of course he would have a good pair of boots, he wouldn’t go bare-feet. That’s how his attire and style is made. It’s all about purpose and such.
Being a hunter as well as a farmer before becoming a dragon rider he sure has had his fair share of fights, and he got scars to prove them. The most prominent are the ones on his back; they are big claw marks going from the right shoulder to the left end of his back. He got a few scars on his arms too, though they are smaller and less visible than the ones on his back, depending on if he is wearing clothes on his upper-body or not. [/SIZE]

PERSONALITY: Edmond is a loner, he prefers his own or his dragon’s company and that’s about it. Edmond would never place his full trust upon anyone whom he might not be directly connected to by blood, and even then he does have his doubts about them. If someone should prove to be capable of getting through his paranoid nature, then they would meet a slightly eccentric but deep down good guy. When he – in the rare cases it happens – has work with someone, then he demands a certain level of respect, not only because of his age and experience, but also because he could and he would kill given the slightest amount of reason. Edmond doesn’t even need a very good reason, just a reason.
Edmond is a control freak, he doesn’t like being the lowest step on the ladder, it is not so much that he hunger for power. He simply doesn’t like when people look down upon him, a thing which people often have a tendency to do when he is low ranking. The only reason to why Edmond even bothers allying himself with the other riders is because that way he avoids trouble. If he did go rogue people would probably hunt him, and that would be an awfully annoyance, so he officially keeps himself allied with the riders, but in all honesty doesn’t give a shit about what happens to everyone else, and he isn’t afraid to admit it.
Edmond is not the guy to resort to unnecessary violence, he will fight if needed but he would never randomly attack someone without reason. Mostly because his fighting style requires him to get all close and personal, because when he do fight, it’s more of a combination of brawling and stabbing than actual sword fights. His favorite’s weapon is daggers, and at rare occasions the bow, though the bow is merely used for hunting. Daggers, is used when fighting creatures like human beings and the like, and swords are rarely used if at all.
Like most if not all of the riders he shares a close bond with his dragon. It’s like brother and sister relationship. He shows his dragon mutual respect and even generosity since he won’t hesitate with allowing the dragon to get a piece of his catch if it hasn’t caught any on its own. Edmond would stop at nothing to protect his dragon. One wrong word about his dragon, and you might find your throat sliced very quickly.
Edmond isn’t the sort to show fear; it can actually be discussed that he might not own the feeling of fear. He certainly seems to lack it, because even in the face of danger, may it be a powerful witch, or a noble knight, he won’t give a damn. He would most likely just punch them in the face and leave.[/SIZE]

[/color]WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU[/font][/center]
FATHER: Alistair Isley Draper
SIBLINGS: Cecilia Elizabeth Draper
OTHER: Isley Draper (grandfather) Rosalie Elizabeth Draper (Niece)
FAMILIAR/PET:He has a hawk.
MOUNT: A big green dragon; it looks like this
PLACE OF BIRTH: Traybon
CURRENT RESIDENCE: He is nomadic doesn’t stay at a certain place for very long.
WEAPONRY: Edmond owns two sets of daggers; first one being a family relic. A specially made dagger with knuckle rings, so he won’t lose grip of it easily. The second one pair is a simple hunting knife. And of course he does own a hunting bow, though he rarely carries it around unless he is hunting.
Edmond is proficient in the use of most stabbing weapons; he is pretty good with a bow to, though his main skill is daggers. You won’t find a guy who is better at cutting stuff up than he is.
HISTORY:Edmond was born on love day in Traybon, it was raining like never seen before and half the crops for that season was destroyed, but besides everything was good. He was born a twin, him and his sister. Their parents was a good pair of folks, they took care of their kids to the best of their capabilities and the fact ol’ Isley Draper lived with them helped a lot, because he saw it as his personal mission to properly educate teach Edmond how to be a real man. Isley was a damn good hunter, he was even better farmer, but often grew bored of the farming life. So, whenever he could he would take Edmond out on hunting trips to far away countries, and the nearest forest.
In his younger years Edmond was an explorer by nature, and when the time came, and Edmond was going to become adult Isley decided that they should find worthy opponent because bears, cougars and the like simply proved not to be of much fight. Since had become so easy targets, Edmond had become reckless and had found himself in near death experiences with the large mountain/forest predators quite often and he had scars to prove it. So, on the day he became eighteen him and Isley drew out onto an epic journey, possibly leaving a mourning family if they did not return.
They reached the mountains, at first they didn’t find anything, it seemed the large reptilian beings that was said to live here was nothing but mere legends. But at one point they reached a valley, almost inaccessible by foot, unless were agile and really determined to reach it. It was the home of a large green brood mother dragon the kind not even trained dragon riders would attempt to bond with. Now, at the time, neither Edmond nor Isley was known for backing down from a challenge, so they were going to hunt it, and possibly kill it. Though, they didn’t get that far. The dragon almost killed Isley, and it finished the job on Edmond. Though it was quite amazed with how fearless Edmond had been. Of course the fight had been unfair, an ant fighting a giant would have been fairer, but still, she saw something in the boy, and decided she might as well bond with him, hunting and taking of an ever constant supply eggs got a bit boring after a while.
This was the brood mother’s chance of getting some excitement in her life, so she revived Edmond using her life force, bonding with him. Isley was quite baffled with what the fuck just happened. Edmond, was just as baffled, but accepted the fact he had become a rider quiet quickly. Edmond, Isley and of course the dragon returned to Traybon, giving almost all of its citizens a heart attack when the dragon flew over the village. Due to the fact that he wasn’t in dragon rider training, he hadn’t been picked by another rider to walk into the mountains, meant that he pretty much had no relations to the other riders at this point.
Isley didn’t know a whole lot about riders, nor did the rest of the family. But they did the best they could to help Edmond, and the dragon whose name had become Elinen. They asked Edmond to seek out proper dragon riders to get training, he didn’t want that. Not only did he not trust them, but he actually felt that him and Elinen would do better alone, rather than with some proper riders interfering with how they were supposed to do things. But, his family was as stubborn as he was, and his sister took contact to a rider. This led to a series of events that eventually forced Edmond and Elinen into the grasp of the riders, to their obvious hatred.

who am i talking to
[/color]COULD BE A DEMON IN A MASK[/font][/center]
AGE: 16
EXPERIENCE: Around 3 years
CONTACT: MSN= christoffer-thomsen@hotmail.com Skype=Thevirus763 (that’s the main ways to contact me)
MEMBER TITLE: No title
ANSWER: scurvy (May you all burn in the fiery pits of hell, while being tortured by a thousand demonic lizards)
EXAMPLE:
The night was reaching dawn, and Elinen had yet to return from her hunting trip. Edmond was beginning to get nervous, even though he knew that there were very few beings in existence capable of taking down a dragon on its own. And the few creatures that could, was rare and almost unheard of in these cold mountain ranges. Edmond had decided to leave the dragon rider camps for now; he couldn’t be bothered with the idiots whom always kept questioning him. The fact he was a senior even by his young age of 44 (human standard) didn’t seem to stop the initiates from attempting to get him as their teacher. Why the heck couldn’t they just get the message? Edmond sighed as the unpleasant thought caused his mind to enter a cloudy storm of anger and annoyance which in return only fuelled the paranoia he was feeling.
He sat there quietly in front of the fire he had made only an hour ago, he kept it alive with a steady amount of dry branches and dead wood, which he had found only a few hours ago. He looked up into the stars, Elinen always preferred hunting at night, he wondered why. Edmond was close to his dragon, but they still had a lot of secrets from one another. His ears picked up a sound, it wasn’t loud, it sounded like someone was gliding on the air above him, a smile crept over his face, finally she had returned.
There is no edible beasts in these damned mountainsEdmond heard his dragon companions thoughts. She seemed more than annoyed, and he certainly understood why. Squirrels and the like couldn’t work as a proper meal for a dragon her size.We would be better of leaving these mountains as soon as possible

Edmond nodded understandingly, the mountains were perfect for hiding from other riders, but without food they wouldn’t last long. He looked at is dragon, and nodded agreeing.“Yes, we shall leave in a few hours”[/color] [/QUOTE][/SIZE]
