Full-blooded dragons are well-known, mostly understood, and revered by the High Elves in general, so when a family of High Elves found a scaly humanoid dragon baby, seemingly abandoned, they were shocked. Dragonborn have mostly only been spoken about in stories, but rarely seen. This family lived in Summersong, a small village located at the base of the Dragon Spine Mountains on the southwest side of the outer ring of Ulthuan. Summersong is a small, quiet village, with beautiful landscapes, apart from the imposing volcano that can be seen on the horizon to the south. They immediately took him in, cared for him, and were generally great parents to this Dragonborn.
He wasn't great in school, but he at least tried his best. While he wasn't very bookish, he excelled at the more physical activities, and was more than happy to help his family around their farm. School wasn't very enjoyable for this Dragonborn, as the kids (and even some of the faculty) stared at him constantly. Although his appearance was imposing and intimidating, he was, for the most part, a gentle soul. However, his anger issues caught up with him as his fellow schoolmates picked on him for his terrible lisp and inability to fully pronounce Rs and Ls. He therefore viewed his given name as an abomination, much like he felt those around might view him as a whole.
One day, during school, there was a sudden large commotion as what essentially amounted to a small army stormed the small village. It was as if nobody saw them coming. It seemed like they were looking for something, but nobody knew exactly what. They barged their way into the town, rummaging through the various buildings in their way, but they were careful not to cause unnecessary harm to anyone or to take any lives. The once-peaceful village was now stunned by the sudden invasion, left alone to rebuild. Luckily, all the villagers were accounted for. Except for one. That one was the single Dragonborn villager.
It's unknown to his family, his village, or even to himself, exactly why he was chosen to be taken. He has some anger issues, but he's able to control it for the most part. He generally has quite a bubbly personality, but when his anger takes over, that bubbly-ness instead shifts into a silent, yet calculated rage. In any case, he viewed this as perhaps a temporary reprieve from the name-calling and solid gazes of those he thought were his friends at school. He felt a genuine sense of having deserved to be taken away, the apparent abomination that he was. And, perhaps, still is.
He doesn't remember much after having been forcibly removed from his village. It's all a blur, if even that, to him. Was he taken to be studied? To be weaponized? To be leveraged? Whatever the case, he'd like to reunite with the caring and loving family from which he was stripped some 15-or-so years prior.
Some say this Dragonborn was taken because he's the key to breaking an ancient curse on his home land, or that he's actually the offspring of a tribe of dragons secretly being experimented on by a mysterious group of sorcerers.
All he knows is... he's called Rory Emberscale.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Quite muscular build, even for a Dragonborn.
Body Features
Crimson red scales with a tail ending in what appears to be the beginnings of spikes.
Identifying Characteristics
He's a Dragonborn, which turns heads just about everywhere he goes. They're pretty much only heard of in stories.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Was found seemingly abandoned by a family of High Elves near their home in Summersong along the outer coast of Ulthuan. Brought up on the family farm, and went to school where he was stared at and made fun of for his speech impediment. Suddenly taken by a small army who invaded Summersong just to find him. The next 15 years or so are a series of lost, if only blurry, memories.
Gender Identity
Male
Education
Only made it through about a third of the way through school before he was forcibly removed from his community.
Failures & Embarrassments
His speech impediment embarrasses Rory greatly after being made fun of by his schoolmates.
Mental Trauma
While he remembers nothing between when he was taken and now, he still remembers his loving, caring family and having been taken from them without even as much as a goodbye. This bothers him tremendously. Also, the constant laughing and putdowns by his schoolmates makes him think twice before speaking to many people.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
More than anything, he'd like to reunite with his adopted family. Everything he does is in hopes of one day being able to see them again so he can properly thank them for everything they did for him, and to be there to protect them from harm should another invasion come along. He'll be much more prepared next time. But there won't be a next time. He'll hopefully have made a better name for himself and his kind.
Personality Quirks
Has a terrible lisp, and can't properly pronounce most Rs and Ls.
Social
Family Ties
His beloved adopted High Elf family.
Religious Views
Follower of Draugnir
Speech
Has a terrible lisp, and can't pronounce most Rs and Ls.

Writing Prompt 4
PROMPT:
Rory's life hasn't been his own. Through adolescence and significant gap years, pressed into the Iron and now marching through the desert, very little of this life seems to be helping him piece together the fragmented past. This new discovery of a mammoth raises more questions than it provides answers. As more information eventually is discovered, what is Rory working towards? Is he working to get back home to a life that he assumes was taken from him, or does he seek answers to who and what happened all those years and seek a reckoning for those who seem to have wronged him?
