"Commander Ren said
bow. I said go suck a lemon.
He said I'm worthless... So I froze
him to the flag pole. I'm not cruel. I am
just standing up for myself. Don't judge me
until you know me. It's not cruel to defend yourself."
Theme: Feuer Frei by Rammstein
Name: Devere Otomo-Hei Shenlang
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Dev, Ere, Devil, The Winter Dragon, Big Brother - Dev has been his nickname since he was a small boy. Ere was a name given to him while on the ride to Japan due to the fact that man talking to him couldn't say his name right. Devil he gained when he first arrived after he froze several enemy soldiers to the ground and refused to let them up. The Winter Dragon was passed down to him during his first big battle. When he had gone into war, he had his younger brother with him. His brother was killed on the front lines right next to him. Seeing his brother die caused him to snap to the point that not only did he go dragon, he also slaughtered/ate several enemy soldiers before they all retreated and he passed out... That having been the first time he had ever gone to his dragon form. The next four weeks, he'd spend it in the medical camp, sicker than a dog and barely able to hold his head up without getting sick from all he had eaten while in dragon form. But the name The Winter Dragon was passed to him because when he attacked the enemies, he froze a good dozen or so to the ground, walls and anything close by...even freezing some people together.
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Birthdate: December 19th, 1984 - Going by Modern.
Birthplace: Wilderness Of Bayankala - China
Race: Ice Dragon - Human ( He's been treated basically like a being lower than dirt his entire life because of his race by most pure bloods. As a half breed, there have been times where neither humans nor dragons will even speak to him. It's because of this that he often carries a slight chip on his shoulder.. Especially when he's dealing with racist people. Being racist around him is never a wise idea. He will attack the one being racist in an attempt to maul the person. )
Nationality: Chinese - Russian
Languages Spoken: Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, English, Dragon Tongue, Some Korean
Current Residence: War - He's wherever the war takes him.
Eye Color: Cold, Icy Blue
Hair Color: Snowy White
Height: 7'3 ft
Weight: 230 - He is solid muscle. One won't find much fat on the man.
Distinguishing Markings(Tattoos, Piercings, etc): Aside from icy blue eyes and snow colored hair, he wears four cornrow braids on the left side of his head. Though from the back of his head just above his neck is all braids begin to go from one side to the other so all of his hair braided in multiple braids, while the right side of his head is usually slightly spiked hair. Away from hair, above either eye has a tribal tattoo, and matching tattoos will be found on his arms. Though the tattooing on his left arm flows out onto the left side of his chest and upper back. This tattooing is actually from an assassin clan. Something he probably would have been had his father not pressured him and his younger brother into the army. He also has his left ear pierced, but he rarely wears it due to the fighting. He doesn't want it ripped out.
Morality: Chaotic - He's one you don't want angry with you. While he is a sweet, even level headed guy for the most part, angering him is a very dangerous risk. When he is pushed past the breaking point, he will turn into a dragon. And he will attack anyone. Friend or enemy. In his dragon form, he loses all connection to friend or enemy, like that part of him is gone. It takes him awhile to return to normal...Usually through being rendered unconscious or he simply passes out when he's exhausted himself. Then he'll return to normal and have next to no memory of the time spent in his dragon form.
Disability: His dragon form. When pushed past the breaking point, he breaks...Literally. He becomes violent and vicious before turning to his dragon form. In this form, he has no way of telling an enemy from a friend. So one's best bet...especially if they are friends with him, is to stay clear of him when he's pushed past that breaking point.
Allergies: Pineapple - It makes him sick to his stomach. It'll keep coming up till it's all out of his system. So he's looking at a 24 hour to 48 hour medical camp trip should he ingest it.
Blood Type: O -
Sexuality: Straight
Love Interest: Mingxia Qiao - He loves her with every inch of his heart and soul. Would give anything for her.
Family: Father, Sister, Oath Family, Deceased Mother, Deceased Brother - He considers Shanglan and his mother as his family as well. And he'd do anything for them..Including lay down his own life.
Class(es)/Occupation(s): Ex Junior Assassin, Army Man - He would have been an assassin by the age he's at now had he stayed in China. But his father demanded that he and his brother go into the army for discipline. Since his arrival, he had hopes of leaving to return to assassin life. But once the fighting got 'into' his blood, he's been unable to give it up and has come to actually love being part of something bigger than just hunting people down and killing them. He's grown to love his army life. And as such, he's abandoned the ideas and ideals of assassin life.
Abilities: Being half ice dragon, he has nearly complete control of ice abilities. However, he's quite young still.. Even at the age he's at, he's still not a full master of his own powers. Once he's in full control, he'll have the ability to choose when he turns dragon, and still hold the memories of what he does while in that form. Currently, when he goes dragon, he has zero memory of what he's done in that form. Some of the bigger abilities just now starting to awaken. It's part of why angering him isn't wise. He can only take so much before flat out snapping. Aside from that, he's excellent in close combat and and even better at wielding what he calls the spin blades.
Weapons: Hands, Feet, Teeth, Claws, Dragon Abilities, Spin Blades
Other Important Items/Equipment: His brother's Spin Blade. Originally, he only had one. He had one and his brother had one. But when his brother passed away, he was left with brother's blade. Now he refuses to give it up. He won't even give it back to his father.
Biography:
December 19th, 1984 - The cries of a baby boy would be welcomed into the world in the mountains of Bayankala - China. He was born in a cave a few moments after sunset. Icy blues are what greeted his parents as his father cut the baby's cord.. There was no midwives during this birth. He was born while his parents were tracking back to their home clan in the mountains when she had gone into labor. So it'd be the child's father that'd help to deliver the child. His father would smile fondly on his child before calling deciding on the name Devere, his mother giving him his middle names.
Growing up, Devere would not be an only child. Ahead of him, he had an older sister who was three. They grew up a fairly normal childhood. They got along alright. A year would pass..Devere would become an older brother..become the middle child as another boy was welcomed into the world. So now there a four year old, a one year old and an infant in the family...Three precious children. It was also during this time that their mother had bled out. She had been lucky when she had Devere without the help of a midwife.. But when she'd give birth to Ravi, she'd pass away shortly afterwards.
At the age of six, Devere and Ravi would be placed into an assassin clan.. The Crimson Swords. The clan would take the boys for the day, teach them...train them. Kind of like a medieval school... From six in the morning till six at night, they were trained. So the hours were different than a school.. But they were being taught and trained everything they'd ever need in life to carry on the ways of the Crimson Swords. And as one would expect with fresh young minds, the boys absorbed the information like hungry sponges. Learning all they could.
By the time Devere was entering his teen-hood, his father would begin pressuring him about the military. He believed it could give Devere the discipline he so desperately needed. Of course one could count on the half dragon to not be the least bit thrilled with his father. Several times, he'd tell his father off, standing his ground against him. Not that it was ever needed, but it certainly got his point across when no-one would listen to him.
It was also during this time that his dragonic abilities would begin to unlock. He was a late bloomer in his dragon abilities, but once they started awakening, he became a force to be reckoned with. There were times in the beginning where he'd wake up and himself and his entire bed would be iced over to the point he had to rip clothing in order to get out of bed. So it was during these times that his father would begin to teach him how to control his dragon half.
At the age of nineteen, he was pressured into the army at last. He'd end up joining and his little brother would follow suit. A year later, tragedy struck. Ravi would be killed in combat when he was struck through the heart trying to protect another soldier. He was killed by a spear. It had gone through Ravi's heart, shattering his armor and killing him on the spot. The next three months, Devere would spend them at home with his father. He had stopped eating...stopped sleeping. By the end of it, he was sick. His father would nearly lose him too. Though somehow or another , Devere would pull through and return to the army.
Shortly after his return, another recruit had joined.. Shanglan. Their meeting was an odd one. He'd get in his face. In return, Shang punched him and Devere turned and pulled him into a hug telling him he was alright. From there on out, the two would end becoming fast friends and eventually Oath-Brothers.
Throughout his time thus far, Devere would be constantly in trouble for starting fights, causing trouble. At one point, he had even been punished to clean the entire camp..Which he did his punishment by laying on a bolder....nude.. Sun bathing. This in turn got in him thrown in solitary.
At one point, they'd be through a trying time.. Shang's father had died. While Shang spent a lot of time in bed or sick, Devere refused to leave his side, always staying right there for his Oat-Brother. When he was told to go do chores or to do things around the base that needed done, he'd merely tell Commanding Officer Ren to go suck an egg or a lemon. Of course though Devere took it hard. He got into more fights than ever before. At one point, he'd even lash out at the CO. He was reprimanded and placed in solitary for a week for his actions before he was allowed to return to China with Shang. During this time, Dev would tattoo Shang's shoulder for him.
As time has worn on, Devere has proven his loyalty more than one time. Always there for his Oath-Brother and his friends. And never once turning his back on them.
Devere now also has a woman in his life that he loves dearly. Her name in Mingxia. He met her for the first time while on leave for vacation. When he arrived, a big burly sailor pushed her into the ocean. He pulled her out before nearly killing the one responsible. What stopped him was the fact that Shang had pulled him off. Once he was pulled off, he'd return to Xia, asking if she was alright... From there on out the two have gotten quite close. And he has fallen head over tincup for the woman.
Going to current days, Devere plans on one day getting out of the army for good. He went in as a young guy... bent on going home and returning to the life of an assassin. But over time, the promise of keeping peace and honor have tunneled their way right into his heart. The first thing the half dragon plans on doing once he's out of the army...or maybe even before then..is one day marrying Mingxia...with or without her brother's consent. However, he first needs to work up the courage to ask her such a big and important question.
