The Patina Order consists of selected Brass, Bronze, and Copper dragons; elites, the best of the best dragonborn warriors determined by a test of combat upon attaining adulthood. {more to come: Back story}[sblock="Back Story: the first years"]"Why!" Verdantus cried, frustration teeming in his voice, as his gaze turned to his mate. "Why, must none of my sons succeed me in the order!?""Lower your voice," his mate, Aëthir, whispered, tilting her head in the direction of their fledgling girl.He looked toward the child, "bah! I'm undone, Verdi is undone, generations fall today, we are no more in name." He stormed off, pottery could be heard smashing in another room of the mansion.Aëstilexa knew her father despised her, she was his last child, and he wished for a strong male to carry on the family legacy. More importantly, to represent his house in the Patina Order, a distinction which carried with it prestige. Only the best warriors survived the Trial of Combat, and by proxy, only the best houses were represented. Her parents had brooded twice, first begetting three sons, the second time just her, the lonely egg. All of her fledgemates are gone, none succeeded the Trial upon their adulthood.  Aëstilexa wanted nothing more than her fathers approval and acceptance, if that meant being a boy, that is how she would be.She was craftier than her previous siblings, and more vicious. She never let the other dragonkin get an upperclaw on her. And she never let any know her true nature, but one figured her out upon their adolescence, he caught her scent and was attracted to her; a daring young brass, followed her one day to try his talons on her. She rid herself and the world of one more daring young brass that day. From thenceforth, she made better efforts at disguising her nature.-----------------------------On her fifteenth year, during the Week of Trials, she entered her father's study,  he didn't acknowledge her presence, studying at his desk. She touched at several of his trophies as she sauntered the room, stopping for some time before a tarnished bronze shield which hung on the wall behind him. She traced the outline of a dragon face emblazoned upon it."Father, I'm ready," said Aëstilexa"Go away. It is a silly notion, females do not take the trial," He continued reading the tome before him.She was accustomed to him brushing her aside and ignored it, "No, father, you will sign my name, " she moved around to loom over the front of his desk, pushing a document over his book, "I will take the test!"Verdantus looked up, and shrank into his chair. A hulk of scaled muscle, squeezed into one of his dead sons suits of chain, peered unflinching at him. Determined. For the briefest of moments he caught an echo of his ancestors about her. He sensed the fear aura of his grandfather, Aës, her namesake."Dawn, forgive me" he muttered as he controlled his hand tremble and signed the waiver.She rolled it up and stormed out. Marching straight to the arena where she presented it to the judges who unfurled the scroll and read it aloud. It felt as if her heart beat out of her scales and she barely heard a sentence, all she could do was remain stationary and try not to look weak, try not to look...female."..thus, let it be known, that I, Verdantus of House Verdi, do hereby grant permission for my child, Aës, Fourth to be Named, to represent our ancient house in the Trial of Combat." the judge concluded.Her eyes widened, and a hint of smile was withheld from her snout.[/sblock]NOTES:-learned dwarvish due to 'history' with war- Travels with the teifling because the teifling helped her in a fight in this 'new' land, befriending her, the dragonborn has no reason to distrust the teifling, defending the teifling's honor when it is questioned ( this assumes that the paladin has no knowledge of the teiflings use of poison...or that she considers poison use as just another tool of combat and sees nothing wrong with it~ TBD)- Holy symbol of Io? or Dawn? or?Specialty - Officer (Sargent)Traits- I can stare down a hell hound without flinching. I have a crude sense of humor.Ideal- Nation. My nation is my priority.Bond- Those who fight beside me are those worth dying for.Flaw- I’d rather eat my armor than admit when I’m wrong.
