--------------------

A young man with a dream of slaying dragons, and saving damsels, Richard was literally thrown into the midst of it when his family was accused by cultists of Asmodeus of heresy against the True Words of Asmodeus in the city of Dekarium. His family home was razed and young Richard, a mere boy of 15 ran for his very life. He hid in the shadows, and lived off the land as he can. Surviving from day to day eventually drove Richard slightly mad, before he finally escaped by stowing onboard a moored Chelish naval vessel, the Blood Fang.

Before the Blood Fang was gifted to the Inquisitor of Cheliax, Anferno for his services to the nation, the Blood Fang was a ship normally assigned to typical patrol duties with light armaments. Not expecting anyone to tackle a Chelish ship, which happens to be one of the strongest navies in the region, the security on the Blood Fang was relaxed and thus, young Richard stole his way to The City at the Centre of the World, Absalom, where Trimida, the aasimar Paladin of Sarenrae who is also a Pathfinder took him into her fold when she sees him living off scraps in the Puddles district.

For two years, Richard fumed with rage and trained hard in mastering his weapon, promising himself that he will return to Dekarium one day and slay the very cultists responsible for his exile, and to avenge his slain parents.

While in his travels for the Pathfinder Society, in the quest for entry into the Ruby Phoenix Tournament, he met Vex, a carefree girl full of life, intellect and laughter and he was smitten. After a wild chase through the streets of Absalom for the gems which leads to the next stage and having too many drinks, he ended up sleeping with Vex in a Tiny Hut and thus Richard Dragonsbane starts putting aside his plans for vengeance and more for protection, to care and to love Vex always.

As the now Seeker Vex is in Galt, Richard is striving to work hard, to save his gold to buy Vex a wedding ring and to surprise her and hopefully, to call her his own. Eventually, he gave up on the idea of saving for a ring and instead starts crafting a pink diamond ring.

Perhaps Richard Dragonsbane did not know this... but his parents were indeed heretics. They resisted arrest, fought back and thus were burnt to death in their home, for heresy. The Inquisitor also knew of your presence onboard the Bloodfang but choosed to allow you to have a second life.

Now that Richard Dragonsbane is all grown up, will he seek out revenge at the cultists who were doing their job? Or redeem his parents' sins by returning and serving Cheliax, his homeland?

[Richard Loh]

After several years of training and seeing the world, Dragonsbane realised that the evil within Cheliax is all the more vile, as no where in his adventures, whether through Ravenmoor or Carrion Hill, could such depravity be found anywhere else and tolerated openly, even though he know that most of his fellow citizens are deluded and misled.

[Richard Loh]

Thoughts of giving up on revenge finally crosses his mind as he first met Vex on a mission together to attempt to secure entry into the Ruby Phoenix Tournament. A whirlwind romance and it blossomed into something strong and is so powerful that absolutely nothing can stop the love they have for each other. A few months together leads to the both of them leading the happiest times of their lives.

Lamenting the lack of work as Vex proceeded to Galt to serve as a Seeker, Richard wanted to surprise her by carefully and painstakingly craft a pink diamond ring. Hoping that Vex does not teleport back for any quick booty calls, he also planned on how to propose to his love.

Firstly, newly selected tablecloths, after all the housework have been done of course, in Vex's townhouse. Scented candles specially imported from Andoran, freshly prepared and cooked food on the table. Gifts carefully wrapped in unicorn adorned wrapping paper, tucked under the potted tree in the house next to the couch.

Hearing news that Venture-Captain Vex is coming back from Galt, Richard quickly kicked everything into gear, doing all the preparations as if he is doing his swordsmanship training with Albion, his trusty bastard sword. With the smell of the freshly baked chicken, and swordfish sashimi freshly imported from Diobel, he starts pacing nervously up and down the townhouse floor, wondering what words to use, how he should present the ring to her.

A jingle of keys and the lock opening, a white flash streaks across the room, knocking over the candles, setting the paper and the gifts next to the tree in flames, the sound of SuperWhite slurping the sashimi down its throat and gobbling down the chicken in a single bite. All in the 6 seconds it took Vex to remove her boots and there stands Richard Dragonsbane, standing in the midst of it all, clutching a bouquet of flowers, a look of bewilderment on his face.

"WHAT DID YOU DO - XIAOBAI, EAT HIM!!!"

The next time Richard woke up was a week later in the Bank of Abadar, nursing broken ribs and a bruised head. It's going to be a very hazardous relationship. And a mental note to self - Please install the anti-magic field at home to prevent unwanted accidents from happening.

Years later...

Four Dragonsbane kids

Aurorn Dragonsbane, eldest. Worry wart. Constantly have his hands full taking care of his siblings. His sanity is saved only by the company of Cheese Bai, offspring of SuperWhite.

Aylan & Aiden Dragonsbane:
Aylan - Powerful and complete. Older brother of Aiden Dragonsbane by a span of seconds. He is trained in the art of swordsmanship by the Kensai Tachibana Ukyo, a friend of Blossom. Combining his father's defensive fighting style with Ukyo's swordsmanship, Aylan is forging his own way with his sword but not without his brother, Aiden by his side. Cocky to the extreme, Aylan believes that he is almost invincible in regards to swordsmanship, at least.
Aiden - The Fiery one. Bookish, where Aylan prefers to attack mano a mano with his katana, Aiden believes in using magic to accomplish his objectives. Also tires of his brother's overconfident antics sometimes and LOVES to give Aurorn a hard time by causing un-necessary trouble. There was a time when Aiden successfully convinced Aylan to steal Vex's scrolls and managed to summon a glabrezu. Aurorn almost burst into tears when he realised that they are all going to die and it's all his fault were it not for the quick reaction of Vex who teleported herself and Richard Dragonsbane in to dispatch the glabrezu. After the harsh tongue lashing received from their parents, the twins agreed that it was fun and should do it some time again!

Athena Dragonsbane - The youngest of the lot, she inherited her mother's good looks and angelic bloodline. Always wanting to stick close to the twins, she feels that Aurorn is too stern and no fun to be around. Whenever she can, she seeks to learn both the swordsmanship of Aylan and the magical skills of Aiden. She will also be the future inheritor of Albion, sword of Richard Dragonsbane.
