FULL NAME: RavagerAGE: 47
A.K.A.: Ravage, Death-worm
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: Scentipede
LIKES:
o1) Hunting, if it runs away it's more fun.
o2) Fighting, there is no greater thrill than to prove ones strength against others.
o3) The smell of any kind of flowers, they are almost soothing.
o4) Still, windless days. The scents don't flow around as much, and he can get an almost pinpoint location of where a scent came from and went.
DISLIKES:
o1) Anything rotten, the stench is horrible.
o2) Being treated like a weakling or being patronized.
o3) Other creatures invading his territory.
o4) Being touched for any reason.
STRENGTHS:
o1) A mighty sense of smell. You simply cannot escape this dragon.
o2) His speed over the forest floors is almost unmatched.
o3) Jaws that could easily split a tree in half.
o4) Thick and strong armour plating. Impervious to fire, and most claws and bites.
WEAKNESSES:
o1) His greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. Foul odours can cause him as much discomfort as an eel to the face.
o2) He is a ridiculously slow flier, and should he need to rely on flight for any reason would surely perish.
o3) His eyesight is bad, even for a Scentipede. He hardly uses his eyesight for anything other than telling where the sky is and the time of day by the amount of light.
o4) The nineteenth armour plate is cracked, revealing softer scales underneath.
AMBITIONS:
o1) Conquer something, be it a village, a nest of dragons, or just a small group of people.
o2) Explore the world beyond his ability to fly. Scentipedes aren't meant to fly long distance, and this leads him to wonder what's out there.
FEARS:
o1) Being caught in a situation where he is utterly defenseless.
o2) Finding out he's not actually as great as he would like to think.
APPEARANCE: Ravager is your standard Scentipede, breed standard to a T. His scales are a deep red colour, and are for the most part unmarked by scars. His only major injury is a crack in his armour plating, on the nineteenth plate. It's dented and scrapped, and split slightly. His eyes are a bright yellow, and are usually squinted.
Because of his back wound, he doesn't often lift his head high above the ground to keep his belly hidden and safe. Showing fewer weak points.
INTELLIGENCE: 8/10
COMPASSION: 3/10
AGGRESSION: 8/10
LOYALTY: 5/10
SANITY: 7/10
HUMOR: 1/10
PERSONALITY: This Scentipede has a personality typical of his breed, but more to the extreme. He doesn't actively look for fights, but give him the chance and he will make sure the situation escalates enough to become one. He is under the impression he is the best thing there is, and nothing can prove otherwise.
He seems to lack his species normal nervousness, or perhaps he is far too stubborn to listen to his instincts. Same way he would likely not listen to any one trying to tell him he was wrong, though at least those he can eliminate from the picture if needed. On occasion he might stop and question himself, but it only lasts a brief moment before he tosses the thoughts aside.
He is an extremely light sleeper, and even the smallest change in his surroundings can cause him to wake up.
PLACE OF BIRTH: The forests outside of Berk
HISTORY: Ravager was not born out of the norm, two Scentipedes sniffed each other out and almost as quick as they were found they departed. The female had a clutch of eggs in a partially underground burrow and left the eggs to hatch. Upon hatching, the newborn dragons instantly began to fight. Of the six eggs that had been left only two hatchlings emerged. Being of equal strength and unable to defeat each other they went their separate ways.
Ravage drifted more towards the dense forests neighboring Berk. They had fields full of prey, and he had no trouble growing to his full size over the years. There were times where he would be chased back into the forest by the dragons that lived there, but he refused to let them win. As soon as they reached the forest he would turn and fight back, keeping most of them out of his self proclaimed territory.
Eventually he grew bored of the caged prey, and began to go after harder targets. Wild animals, lost humans, even dragons, whatever dare wander through his home would become his prey. On the rare occasions they proved to be too strong for him, but more often than not he overpowered them.
At least it remained this way for quite some time. But there was one dragon that kept besting him. It was a larger male Nadder, stubborn as any beast and equally as eager to prove his worth. However it never killed him, simply leaving after having stolen his kill, or put up a fight. Neither sustained any damage until one day, mid-winter. The fighting pair had been backed into a cave, Ravager was winning. He pushed the Nadder back into the cave, snarling and flaring his wings. But with one well aimed spine shot, the mouth of the cave crumbled partially in on itself, wedging the Scentipede in place. Defeated, the Nadder fled. While thrilled at his victory, his armour plating was damaged as he broke free of the rocks.
Needless to say, he was far more careful around caves after that event.
After a while, hunting strictly wild animals was becoming more difficult. They rarely traveled through his hunting grounds any more, and he dare not leave his territory for fear it would be claimed by another. So instead he began sneaking food from the human nest once more. But instead of eating them straight from their cages he would free them, smashing the barriers and then chasing them down. He rarely encountered the humans this way, and still got to enjoy the chase.
He eventually managed to find a balance between what wildlife had returned and the humans beasts. But he had built a name for himself, whispers of a monster stealing livestock at night. Of course on Berk this was almost a normal occurrence but there were whispers of if there was another Red Death. Naturally this made the dragon feel even greater, they compared him to one of the greatest and most feared dragons. And it made his ego soar higher than his wings could ever carry him.
