Character Description

Artwork and Character by me
Personality
Outgoing, to a fault, Azerek is very spirited and energetic regardless of his upbringing as Serrenian Royalty.
Azerek often tries to see the good in people and he does this through his jokes or lighthearted take on situations. Somewhat of a masochist, Azerek enjoys a challenge and often goes into conflicts with a grin, unaware of the severity of many situations.
Although spontaneous and confident, Azerek is often careless and misses key details.
Background/History
Much like Jathan, Azerek made a transition from human to anthro as well. Originally, in the human-counterpart, Azerek was the only one who could shape-shift into a werewolf or canine anthro. Obviously this doesn't work now that the story involves anthro characters. Although logically I could have him shape-shift into a human, humans have a special place in the story and so I turned him into a dragon-type of character from a reptilian type of society that generally doesn't get along with species outside of their territory.
Some would think being born into royalty would be a dream come true, for Azerek it was the opposite.
Being an unwanted birth, Azerek quickly learned of the family hierarchy and his insignificance in his kingdom. To everyone Azerek was a pariah, an outcast, but also a playboy, reaping off of his family's wealth and inheritance.
As is tradition in his family, Azerek conscripted himself in the Serrenian military, a neighboring kingdom of Tholus, Azerek remains a lowly scout, never really applying himself beyond what he needed to do to get by.
Without a stable role-model, Azerek never learned about his true potential in the world.
Relatives/Family
At least 17 other siblings of the Laan Dynasty, most of which he does not communicate with.
His father is the current ruling Overlord of Serrenia, a kingdom inhabited of mostly land-based reptilians or dragoons, which are descendants of the near-mythical dragons, but lacking the ability to fly.
World/Setting
When Jathan and his companions are captured by the Serrenian forces thinking they are spies, Azerek learns of their plight and does the unthinkable, breaks his military code of honor and cuts his ties with his family by freeing them and accompanying them on their mission.
Body
Specialized markings showing his affiliation with Serrenian Royalty. Like others, Azerek can remove his markings on his face should he need to hide his identity, however the ones on his shoulders are permanent tattoos which Azerek proudly displays atop his wonderful deltoids which he boasts often about.
Clothing
Wearing traditional Serrenian robes / loin-skirt, Azerek prefers to wear form fitting compression shorts given his role as a Scout in the Serrenian military.
Around Azerek's waist is a sash also displaying his family symbol. Like most members of the military, Azerek dons ankle sleeves and battle gloves.
Accessories
Being a Scout, Azerek's primary weapon is his whip which he uses to traverse the lush forested surroundings of the Serrenian territory. Azerek is also equipped with Serrenian calf and tail blades, specialized and exotic weaponry used by almost all members of the military. With these enhancements, Azerek often uses a combination of weapons and martial arts to combat opponents, almost appearing to dance in battle, catching enemies off-guard with unorthodox fighting styles.
Recently taking up a Serrenian Scout Phase-Blade, Azerek is still unskilled with using it effectively and uses it more for intimidation than any real practical use.
