Gilbert

Gilbert doesn't have a charge, he never had a charge and he isn't interested in getting one, either. Or so he says.

Gilbert has never been a calm dragon, when he was but a hatchling he would often sneak out to try and start his own Search early. Or claim any object or unfortunate dragon in sight as his Charge, much to the headache of the clan's elders. To the further dismay of his elders, his fiery temperament only got worse as time went on, along with his physical strength and size. Eventually, he grew large enough that nobody could stop him when he attempted to leave on the Search several years before he reached his maturity.

His tendency to claim anything and everything as his Charge rubbed more than one dragon the wrong way, fortunately for him, he was as good as beating trouble hard enough that it backed off as he was at getting into it in the first place. Gilbert spent his young adult years alone as few clans were inclined to take in a huge, well armored Guardian with a hair trigger temper.

Eventually he turned to mercenary work, reasoning if he was to beat dragons up, he may as well do it to somebody who deserved it and make a pretty profit out it at the same time. Gilbert continued to drift through life in his manner until one particular job, a body-guarding one, to be exact.


*WIP*
Gilbert is massive, even by the standards of his species. He towers about a meter of two over even the two Ridgebacks of the clan. The skin under his armor is relatively soft and unscarred. Relatively. The frequently exposed bits of skin are heavily callused and scarred so that it is more like hard boiled leather than actual, living, skin.

He can be quite fast if he is given (which he rarely is) the room and time to build it up. However, his maneuverability is poor even without of his bulky armor. In battle he much prefers to go after other large opponents who are similarly disadvantaged, he'll leave the smaller and faster ones to Leago and Edgar, thank you very much.




Is friends (of a sort) with Edgar and Leago. *WIP*
