Name: Doran, the Red Titan
Age: 34
Profession: Monster Hunter
Height: 6’ 5”
Weight: 310
Appearance: Very large stature, medium length red hair, a thick red beard, brown eyes, skin has a light tan. Wears a light weight chest plate made of a thin layer of iron covered by scales from a Rolklor, also dons basic traveling pants and boots made from the hide of an Alcie. His belt is made from the skin of a sea serpent and around his forearms are bracers made from the hard tails of a Campe. On his back he wears a torn and tattered cloak with a thick hood which formally belonged to his master Reaf.
Weapons: An Axe; steel blade and a handle made from the wood of an oak tree. The end of the axe is rapped in a thin string of hair from a Golden Hind, rumored to bring good luck and fortune to the bearer. A Shield made from the scales of a dragon worm. Then center piece is made from the skin of a Cuelebre and surrounded by 4 horns from a Chrysoar. Also has a dagger made by a grateful blacksmith after he and Reaf saved the man’s village from a Hieracosphinx.
Bio: Born in a large village just south of the northern desert. From a young age it was obvious that Doran was going to be a trouble maker. As a kid Doran was constantly sneaking out of his house and getting into trouble with other local kids. As he grew his disruptive behavior continued. At the age of 16 he was caught stealing from a local shop and sent to the local jail. There he met a man who went by the name of Reaf. After a long discussion Doran learned that Reaf belonged to a guild of Monster Hunters whose purpose was to rid the world of monsters. The two managed to escape the jail and set off west to the mountains.
Along the way they stopped at the village Erand, the headquarters of the Monster Hunters Guild. There Doran took the oath to join the guild and agreed to apprentice to Reaf for a time before being able to set off on his own. Over the next 10 years the two traveled together slaying everything from bears and wolves to sea serpents and minotaurs. During that time Reaf taught Doran everything he knew about the art. Weak points in monsters, how to track them, what to look for, and much more. It was also during this time that Doran got his mount, a Giant Mantis he captured when he and Reaf assaulted a small colony. He named the beast Green Death, though he usually just refers to it as Green.
When Doran was 26, he and Reaf joined two other Hunters in tracking down the Gorgon, a half woman half snake beast, rumored to turn those she looks at into stone. They were hot on the beast’s trail, deep in the Great Mountains when a rainstorm came suddenly forcing the group to take shelter in a cave. They decided to spend the night there. Unfortunately they were unaware that the cave was part of a series of caverns that wound throughout the mountains. During the middle of the night Doran was awaken to a quiet uff. The Gorgan had made its way into the cave and had all ready killed Reaf with his own blade. Doran woke the others and the battled the beast. He managed to cut off one of the Gorgon’s arms before the it escaped into the caverns and they lost her. Doran’s companions left him then but he continued to search the mountains for the Gorgon over the next five years before giving up for the time being.
He returned to the guild headquarters to inform them. They gave him the title The Red Titan due to his large stature and promoted his position in the guild. Doran continued to hunt monsters even taking on an apprentice at one point, but always on the lookout for the one armed Gorgon that killed his master.
Personality: Generally good natured, especially when he’s had a drink...or a dozen. Fiercely loyal to the guild and those around him. Has an extreme sense of justice to the point he is willing to fight for a stranger if he decides that the cause is worthwhile. Although his sense of justice is outrageously high, his morals are less then admirable.
Mount: A Giant Mantis from the northern desert. When the Mantis’s colony attacked Doran and Reaf this Mantis leg was wounded and the rest of the colony ended up fleeing the battle. Rather then kill the creature Reaf suggested that Doran nurse it back to help and use it as a mount. Doran did and after a time the Mantis became loyal to Doran.
The Mantis is about twice the size of a horse. It has four legs, thick at the tours but thinner at the feet, and two arms with blade like bones exposed at the end of each (ignore the hands on the picture). Also as two sets of wings, one at the shoulders and one at the rear, and a thick tail. Its eyes are large, round, and red sunken into its thick head which sits atop a long neck. It’s body is covered in thin scales that give it the appearance of being heavily armored however the scales are actually sacks of water used to remain hydrated in the harsh desert conditions, and do not provide as much protection as they would lead an onlooker to believe. Due to the anatomy of the creature he is unable to fly while mounted.
