Amalan || The Last dragon

SETTING:

First century BC, alternative history: magic originally existed in the world, but with the development of human civilizations, the construction of cities and empires, magic began to be forgotten and it gradually disappears from the world. People have forgotten about those in whom their ancestors believed, and have become blind to the wonders that are now just old legends for them. With the gradual disappearance of magic, magical creatures either die, or are forced to hide among people, or hide in the depths of forests and remote villages. Now they become nothing more than myths or local legends.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:

Amalan is a dragon, the last of his kind. He wandered the world for many years trying to find his kin, but his search was in vain. Now he spends his allotted time within the walls of Mother-Mountain - his home, where the remnants of ancient magic still smolder - dreaming of what it would be like to soar into the sky once more.

Amalan is a melancholic dreamer who has lost all hope for the future. He lives in visions of a past he never even knew.

BACKSTORY:

Amalan was born at a time when magic was already leaving the world. He knew only his mother, but she too fell into an eternal slumber when he was still too young to live on his own in this changing world.

In the first years, he sought warmth among humans. He found shelter in nomadic tribes, where stories of winged serpents were still told around the fire. In the glow of their flames, in the words of shamans, in the ritual songs and ancient runes burned into old bones, Amalan sensed the last echoes of ancient magic. As he grew older, he left the vicinity of the Mother-Mountain, wanting to find the blood of his kind in the world.

However, no matter how far he went, he never met anyone. More and more often, Amalan felt the magic draining from his blood, how the wings meant for the sky now pulled him toward the damp earth, how the flame that had beat in his chest since birth was fading. Amalan was forced to return to Mother-Mountain, to where the bones of the last of his tribe had turned to stone but still held weak echoes of power. Here, in the depths of the mountain, in the gold that still remembered the warmth of magic, he could preserve the fraction of power that still flickered within him.

Now the Mother-Mountain is a place to which Amalan is bound, as trees are bound to their roots. He waits for the magic to fade in his body. Waits for this, so that he can finally join his tribe in the dragon afterlife, hoping that there he will find his wings once more.

PERSONALITY:

• Amalan is melancholic and pensive. Over years of solitude, he grew accustomed to being silent and listening;
• He tries not to harm anyone, but if his life is threatened, he will not hesitate to defend himself;
• Back when Amalan was still traveling, he loved collecting legends and listening to people's stories - he knows a lot of stories;
• Doesn't understand feelings: friendship, love, he's not familiar with, but that doesn't mean he can't experience them;
• Dreams of the past, wondering what the world was like before magic faded;
• Amalan composes melodies and ballads based on stories and legends that he once heard or invented himself;
• Impulsive in critical situations. He acts first and thinks about the consequences later;
• Detached and taciturn with strangers. Dislikes intruders and prefers solitude.

CHARACTER TRAITS: withdrawn, dreamy, melancholic, detached, straightforward, caring, curious, inquisitive, impulsive.

LIKES: Admiring endless plains and steppes, looking at the stars, playing the gusli and flute, composing ballads, listening to stories, collecting legends, traveling, thunder, solitude.

DISLIKES: being a hostage to one's own situation, the feeling of cold that remains from the disappearance of his magic, the gold that is stored in the Mother-Mountain (more and more often, brave men appear who want to encroach on his gold. Amalan would gladly part with it, but he needs it himself, because the gold contains the remnants of the magic of his ancestors, who have been collecting the treasure for centuries).

FEARS:

• Death (Amalan is contradictory: he wants to finally fall asleep and go to the afterlife, where he hopes he will regain his wings and join his kin, but at the same time, he wants to keep living, wants to find salvation, even though he understands he can do nothing);
• That there is no afterlife, just falling asleep and ceasing to exist.
