Minoa

Minoa is an ancient bronze dragon female, standing at twenty feet tall and a hundred and ten feet long. She’s a winged reptilian quadruped, covered in bronze scales tipped sky blue, giving the appearance of wafer thin blue stripes. Each of her legs, clawed at the end, have fins on the back. Starting at the back of her head and ending at the base of her neck is a sail, reaching roughly a foot tall at its apex. Just behind her wings there’s another set of fins, and one final, azure fin on her tail. Her head is donned with a crown of eight thin, backwards facing horns. Her eyes are black slits with azure colored sclera. . Minoa is, by nature, a very curious creature that values justice and law above all else. She’s reserved and easygoing, being slow to anger. Her manner of speech is polite albeit casual, rarely shouting unless enraged or in battle. Often she finds herself unable to resist helping those in need, whether it be by fighting an assailant or simply by offering them wisdom from her thousand years of travels. Despite her calm nature, she will get angry if she perceives injustice or unfairness, no matter how mild it may be. She’ll grow enraged by evil as a whole, but unless she’s facing something like a devil or a lich, she’ll rarely jump to killing her foes. . Minoa absolutely adores the ocean, and is happiest around bodies of water, oftentimes just laying in streams if they’re available. Being a very social person, during her free time she’ll often drag her friends and allies to beaches or aboard a ship to just relax for some time. Minoa is the leader of a Paladin order, the Azure Vanguard, who patrol the seas aboard vessels to root out piracy and explore continents outside of Faerûn. Knowing that some Bronze Dragons easily fall into tyranny in their pursuit of justice, Minoa has taken up Selûne worship, looking to the stars for guidance, both in navigation and in her daily life. She often begrudgingly prays to Umberlee as well, if only to avoid invoking the sea goddess’s wrath upon her and her followers. She does, however, have a habit of thinking she knows best for the people around her. It is possible that she could easily slip into tyrannical behavior if she thought it was necessary. . Minoa often enjoys dicing, shanties and card games with her fellow sailors, as well as whittling, cartography and exploring. She also enjoys sketching, even if she’s absolutely dreadful at it. Among people she trusts absolutely, she also loves to dance and swim. Her favorite foods are sushi and shark, the latter of which she’ll hunt in her dragon form. . Minoa’s lair is a coastal cave south of Waterdeep, accessible only by diving into the sea or via teleportation circles, located in secret areas known only by Minoa and her most trusted confidantes, with one being in the captain’s quarters of Minoa’s flagship, the SS Vermithor, named after her father. The cave entrance has an air pocket, but is otherwise unremarkable. Going beyond the “lobby” brings you to a cave system, also with breathable air, illuminated by luminescent crystals that cast a faint blue, purple and green light upon the dim caves. . When it comes to intimacy or romance, Minoa is absolutely inexperienced, as Bronze Dragons only ever take on one mate, and mate for life. Ergo Minoa, if courted, will be absolutely clueless as to what she should do. As she acclimates to a relationship, she’ll treat her partner relatively the same as she did before, only now she’s more open with them, and more happy to hold or touch her partner. . Minoa’s breath weapon is arcing lightning, thereby making her immune to electrical damage. She also possesses the ability to roar so loud that she shoves enemies back thirty feet. Somehow this doesn’t seriously hurt those who hear it. . Minoa’s human form is that of a woman with sea green eyes and tan skin, with shoulder length white hair, standing at nearly six feet tall.
