A stern believer of logic above emotion he is quick to make his mind and slow however to react to emotional stimuli. This is often mistaken for apathy and indifference or even emotionlessness. These however are far from the truth, his emotions hit him like a crashing wave with logic and reasoning being the stable rocks upon which he clings.
This is not to say he has never been swept out into the sea of his emotions, in which times he has struggled immensely to return to shore.
Backstory: As a dragon one could not help but be curious about the races that dwelled on the Earth. Watching them as they scurried about with their short relatively meaningful lives. One could watch them for years and still know that they could and would surprise you. How could you sit by, watching and listening to their plight, their sufferings, and achievements and not be moved by them...
Yet for all this there were times when, the vileness of these creatures would shake even the heavens to action. These times would, however fall into myth, and soon it was forgotten when Dragons fought alongside of land folk. Even sooner would forgotten the price they paid during the Dark Ages. Facing Dragon hunters, lack of food and land, it would seem the dragons had finally fallen to nothing more than mere beasts….At least in the West it would seem so..
For in the the lands far to the East, a different kind of relationship existed between the Land folk and the Lung Dragons that lived there.
Unlike many of the Western dragons, Lung were seen as neither friend nor foe, a force of heaven and nature, both for good and bad the Lung were more of a revered group of referees. Then the fearsome monsters their cousins were known as.
It was during the Dark Ages that A group of Lung lead by a blue lung named Shen Long, decided that they could no longer sit by and watch as other legendary creatures ravaged the Land Folk, and began to gather a collective of like minded Dragons to assist them, these 32 dragons from all corners of the world met at what is known as the Dragon's Gate, high in the mountains of Shu, and forged what is remembered to day as the Dragons Circle.
Here it was decided that each of the dragons would draw slots to decide where each would return to and assist the people that lived there…
That was almost four thousand years ago..
And like everything, was forgotten by the younger races, but not the Circle who have grown and dwindled in the years yet have remained true to their agreement.
How does a dragon get a membership??
Initiation started at birth through the 32 lines, and for two hundred years the growing dragons would be trained in various locations all around the world. From temples high in the mountains to caves deep within the Earth. Trained to be sent out into the world of Man and Elf to become a hero among them before they return to be accepted as an initiate of the Circle.
So was Xian Shen Long's fate, and almost forty years have passed bye since he left the Wu Tang Temple to become a hero in the west. It was decided by his Grandfather that he would be sent to the west. To grow and see how different being a dragon would be there, and like every Lung was reminded to remain in humanoid form at all times. Yet as a child of Shen Long he was reminded to tell no one his true purpose not even the heros who his father had served with..
During the forty years he spent traveling as an adventurer. Xian had shortened his name to Xian Long, and taken the class of Battle mage, finding it a efficient way to make use of both his magical, and martial trainings.
It was 10 years ago when he came across the village of Blen had he realised he had followed the same route he had heard his father mention so many times as a youngling. Finding himself however unable to leave the small village and Meh-funh (Should this be agreead upon by characters creator.) A friend he had made, he had decided to remain close to,the village while remaining true to his mission.
And for ten years he has come and gone, left only to return to the village to rest and resupply as well as to share stories with the elderly Meh-funh. Include any additional information you feel is needed.
