(http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/c/a/camilkuo/camilkuo.html)  Not quite perfect; the scales should be metallic copper, the armor is transparent, and he's very rarely so godawful serious as that expression would imply.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/>"Darasv" is the draconic word for "half-dragon," and Conrad is precisely that.  Born of a brief but passionate liaison between a female adventurer and a copper dragon in human shape, he was raised in a small village known for its tolerance of all races, and even more widely known to be under a dragon's protection (that of his father, naturally).  He never knew the rejection and pain that many half-breeds faced throughout their lives, and thus grew up as a remarkably well-adjusted individual.  As he approached manhood, the great strength and endurance granted by his dragon heritage combined with his native intelligence made him a gifted fighter from a young age, especially given the slower aging that accompanies a half-dragon's extended life span.  Those same qualities, combined with dashing good looks, quick wit, and a personality at once dedicated and easy-going, made him extremely popular with the young (and many not-so-young) women of his hometown.  So popular, in fact, that his mother speculates that half the reason he left home to start his own adventuring career was to avoid being tied down in marriage at an unreasonably (to him) young age.<br/><br/>Regardless of the reasons, an adventurer he is, and quite a successful one, by any measure.  He has achieved a modest amount of fame (which he revels in) and fortune (mostly spent on improving his equipment), a rather less modest improvement in his skill with a blade, and absolutely no modesty at all when it comes to women.  His quick tongue, magnificent body and handsome face have cut just as wide a swathe among the ladies no matter where he travels as they did back home.  Thus, when he was told of the goddess Serene's stolen chastity belt, he was at first amused at the thought of the frigid deity possibly lightening up... and then horrified when the full implications of the theft were explained to him.  No more deflowerings of nubile young maidens?  Ye gods, a fate worse than death, spread over the land!  When the call was sent for heroes to recover the sacred item, he was among the first to answer, wanting to do his part to avert the curse... or at least chase a little more tail before it takes hold.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/>http://www.thetangledweb.net/profiler/view.php?id=955
