Personal history

It was nice how we lived together, a small group traveling with just us seven. Mom, Arancia, Lampone, Mora, Fragola, Albicocca and me. We would go anywhere we wanted traveling through villages, cities and other settlements. If we weren't visiting a festival or another party of some sorts we'd make our own. It was wonderful or atleast that is what I was told.
 
Mom died when I was four. We were told to stay at this inn called the "Pears Lemonade" for a few days until she returned. Before she left she said goodbye to all of us in person. The last thing she said to me was that she loved me and to follow my path when the time comes.
 
When she flew off Arancia, Lampone and Mora started arguing. Fragola took me and then a still infant Albicocca to our rooms. After she tucked us in she told me that she had something for me. It was a small doll, some kind of pink fire man. Fragola told me that she always made weird dolls for our birthdays and that I could have mine early.
 
After a week we understood that she wasn't coming back. We decided to stay for a few more days but the evening before the day we'd leave a man came in asking for us. He introduced himself as Sale Curare a servant of Szass Tam. He told us Szass Tam had information for us concerning our mothers fate. My brothers and sister decided that we should follow him, as we stepped through a portal and we found ourselves in an office smelling like cigars, cleaning alcohol and cologne. Behind a big silver metal desk in a tufted leather burgundy chair with golden buttons sat an older gentleman with a giant red beard and sunken eyes.
 
A few days passed and one by one we were asked to meet with Szass alone. Normally you'd be weirded out by such a request but we've gotten familiar with him, he was there during meals but he never ate anything and he just watched how we ate and interacted with each other. During these meals he always tried to smile to come over as a friendly host but it always felt off well atleast to me, Arancia and Mora made conversation with him. Lampone also started showing interest after a few days. After five days it was my turn to speak with him. Fragola asked me if she had to come with me but I declined, said I was old enough maybe a bit stubborn but I was four at the time.
 
I entered his office. The smell was even stronger than the first time I was here. "How are you Morello?" he asked. I said something along the lines that I was okay. "Holding on I see. Morello the reason I asked you to come here is that I have a question for you. I've heard about your way of living before, you children travelled through the world with your mother. But since your mother is not here anymore you children need guidance. I am willing to give you that. I can make sure you get a place to sleep, food and ways to develop yourself. Your siblings have agreed to stay here but do not let them hold you back. Do you want this Morello?" Not wanting to lose anyone I agreed.

Employment

After finishing my first two missions, I asked Szass Tam for recon missions and he allowed me to do so. After I left the room Sale made a sly remark that the Half-Dragon finally showed some dragon prowess. I let it slide he had said a lot worse over the years.

Mental Trauma

Two years later, after I returned from studying, I heard my two oldest brothers arguing about something. An hour passed and I heard knocking on my door, when I opened my door it was Arancia. He explained he found out something and had to go. I asked him because of what and why he had to leave, he told me he could not explain it right now but he gave me a watch and in that watch was a hidden sending stone so that whenever I needed him I could call. I gave him a hug and he left. Lampone and Mora both turned a lot colder when he left. Mora became a lot stricter and Lampone focused more on his work for Szass Tam.

Intellectual Characteristics

A decade later Fragola had her first mission and I wanted to join since it was a simple delivery of a letter together with Lampone and Fragola. Lampone told me I was not ready yet, that I was not strong enough and had not developed my dragon powers yet. I kept bugging him and he finally let me join. I wish I was not so stubborn back then because the mission was a trap.
 
When I brought the letter to the officer he tried to attack me but I quickly dodged it. I ran outside and told Lampone and Fragola what happened but they were already in combat. I tried to use my breath attack but I choked, I could not get it to work. I lost myself in a panic.
 
When I returned home I got scolded by Lampone. He yelled at me that "I was not a real Half-Dragon, that I since I didn't look the part, I could not act the part and not be a part of..." I knew how the sentence would end. I failed...
 
The next two decennia I mostly focused on ways to cover up my weaknesses. I trained on keeping a straight face and learning about further increasing my draconic powers to no avail. I studied every aspect of dragon anatomy but found not a single way to increase my powers without a draconic blessing. So I had to make it myself and I would not fail again.
 
I studied different ways of flying and tried to make a suit to copy dragon wings. I finally had a design that worked but it was not fast enough I needed a way to increase my speed but every power source I used stopped working and or exploded.
 
It was in this time that I had my second mission this time it was with Mora. We had to take over a small camp. It was the first time I had to kill. Mora had a dead look in her eyes while she fought. We were told that it was a gang of thieves and zealots but these were villagers.
 
In one of these people tents there was a metal man and next to it in a small lead box was this stone. It gave of so much energy I knew that this would be the core of my suit.
A week after my mission was Albicocca's turn. I hoped it was nothing like mine but she changed after it. When she came back her eyes had the same look as Mora. At the end of the day there was a letter on my bed. It was from Mora she explained that since Albicocca and I were ready now she could leave and make her own. While I was reading this letter I noticed a secret map of a part of the Swordcoast with some music notes next to it.
 
After another year I was done developing my suit. It was time to take flight. I would be lying if I got it on the first try or my second or nineteenth but on my twentieth try I finally got it. It was breath-taking although quite heavy on my back.

Morality & Philosophy

I spent the years since then on recon, improving my straight face and gaining a reputation as a noble while disguising my metal wings as feathery ones. Deep down I knew that working for Szass Tam was bad and I was ready to change my side but I could not leave my siblings behind. I was going to look for that place in the Swordcoast and those music notes.
