Yaruk Kharmos Drayn, the god of justice, is one of the PCs and a member of Confiere. He has always been obsessed with becoming a dragon and ascending, this is something he has worked towards ever since Session 1, if not before. He slowly pieced the pieces together that The Donstropians were dragonics, just like him. This through exploring The Church of The Seers, (Session 2), and The Pyramid Ruins, (Session 7 and Session 8).

Family

Backstory

Yaruk was born in the Fire Kingdom into a once-great noble family called the Drayn’s. This family stems from before the colonization of Afersis and has a great lineage and legacy. This has however been on the decline since the massive dragon massacre began in the year 88. The humans could not coexist with the dragons and therefore hunted them down. Dragonics were seen as the offspring of the evil dragons and devil humans. In other words, his family was hunted. When dragon hunting became illegal almost 90% of all dragons had been killed. It was now that the Drayn family could try to move back into society. However, dragonics were still seen as taboo for a long time and when something bad happened it would always be blamed on them. The eruption of Bazel, the sudden death of Vixo II, etc. These were all stories Yaruk was told by his family, or rather his grandpa who was born 5 years before the massacre began, his grandpa would also tell him that their family was descended from true dragons and that if his life went well Yaruk might be the one to solve the secret of dragons and their origin. Yaruk instantly became fascinated by the concept, envisioning the current state of his family as merely a dragon's slumber before its eventual and inevitable rise. He believed he could and would become the one to wake up the still-asleep dragon. Their house, a once-grand mansion has now become a mere facade to the outside world so that the family can maintain their pride. As of now, it’s in desperate need of a renovation but the money isn’t there. At the age of 20, Yaruk joined the Fire Kingdom army in hopes of restoring the pride of his family name as well as making an earning. Yaruk was young and hopeful, full of belief that he would succeed. However, a friend of his Prok, a fellow dragonic, would die in battle. Yaruk felt powerless to stop it and this affected his personality. His hopeful outlook on life became somewhat more warped upon seeing the cruelty of war. His goal, however, did not change. He still wishes to prove his worth to the world. The difference is his emotional connection to the goal. While previously, he was purely hopeful and full of optimism, now he’s slightly cynical and upset at the world for allowing the things that happened to happen but also upset at himself for being too weak to stop it. Yaruk tried to return to his normal life, to live as though nothing had changed but he knew deep down that if he did nothing then nothing would get better. Disturbed every night by internal scenes of war and destruction, with him in the middle of it, powerless to affect anything, he eventually decided that this could no longer go on, something had to change. He decided that he would go out on a journey to fulfill his fate.
