Korialstraz; The Tyrrant Wyrm
General Information Type: Henchman
Gender: Male
Age: 37
Appearance:
- Korialstraz looks less human and more like a perverted hybrid between a man and a dragon. His face resembles that of a terrible lizard with preditory teeth. Yellow eyes flicker with traces of orange with slitted pupils. Two large horns sprout from the temples, curving forward to rest just off from the jaw. Instead of hair, a fin rises from his skull and moves backwards, ending just below his neck.
The body shows the same reptilian influence but has a much more human shame. Two arms and legs are in proportion with his frame. An exception of his legs being digigrade. The whole body is covered in dark scales, ranging from onyx along the outside of extremities to ash along the underside and belly. His build is similar to an average 6'4" working man though lacking much of the same fat.
More evidence of the draconic nature are additional appendages. From the spinal base comes a long and surprisingly dexterous tail. It extends a total of 7' before terminating. About a foot back from the tip is an odd set of stiff serrations, one spike on the top facing backwards and about 6" worth on the bottom facing forwards. Along with this tail is a large set of webbed wings anchored to the back on a modified clavicle. These wings are incapable of flight on their own, requiring a B ranked jutsu, but can aid in jumping or gliding just fine.
- General:The world is a beautiful place to the beast, though his concept of beauty is vastly different from others. He thrives on the concepts of predation and conquest. He adores the chasing down of pray and the final struggles of a desperate victim. Cruelty is Kori's breath and passion, but he displays it in strange ways.
While the tyrant will relish in the dying words and cries of an overpowered victim, he does recognize sometimes others simply can not defend themselves. Be it by circumstance or condition he will recognize when a target is unfit for a challenge and simply move on, paying them no mind. While he will spare them his wrath, he will ALMOST NEVER take pity on them, instead just ignoring them and moving on.
Those who find themselves in desperate situations and still stand to challenge impossible odds inspire him though, fostering in the beast a begrudging respect and sense of honor. Such a display could sway his sense of loyalty, causing him to fight beside them. Should such spirit be display repeatedly he will grow genuinly friendly and even respectful of them, forming a strong alliance.
Towards those who he considers allies he has a very brusque attitude. He speaks plainly, often insultingly so. While he'll commend one for their achievements, he will not hesitate to berate them on their failures either. Though he doesn't do this out of malice towards allies, he will towards any others. No, he wishes to see them keep improving and becoming better for he truly believes only the strong deserve to thrive in such a beautiful and cruel world - Hopes/Dreams: The dragon wishes to roam the material world at his leisure. His desire for true freedom is so great he will go to any extreme to achieve it. That desire gave him his current shape. While he's free to roam the material as long as he desires, never being forced back to the spirit world, he's trapped to a semi-human form, only able to return to his titanic glory for brief periods. He seeks a way to change this, being able to retain his draconic nature while still being free on this plane.
- Fears: Korialstraz is extremely hydrophobic. Even though this body doesn't require the constant heat of his internal furnace, he still hesitates. Due to nearly drowning when a whelp he refuses to go into waters that he can not see a shore or the depths without companion. His pride could overcome this, but it's difficult even for a dragon.
- Combat Mentality:Intimidation and overwhelming force are Kori's forte in combat. Against a perceived inferior opponent he'll initially toy with them, barely putting any effort into his attacks or defense. However, greater challenges are met with an excitement belonging to a sociopathic monster. He'll delight in damage taken just as much as damage caused. Massive destructive attacks are used to wipe out armies, as well as giving minimal chance to dodge.

- Natural Equipment
- Talons - Each finger and toe tip has a 4' talon bade of hardened keratin. They are hard enough to block weapons from anything Kori could sustain. However, they're sharpened like a rock causing punctures or tearing more than cuts or slashes. While full dragon these claws each grow to roughly 60".
- Teeth - Each tooth is 1-3" and hardened to be able to break boulders should Kori have the jaw strength to do so. In full dragon each of these grow to 30-42".
- Tail - The 7' tail is extremely dextrous, being able to perform complex maneuvers and wrap around objects to act like a third "hand". A 5" barb on the top can be used as a spike, same with serration-like 3" barbs on the bottom. In full dragon this tail loses all dexterity and becomes like a battering club, growing to 72' in length with each barb quadrupling in size.
- Scales - In humanoid shape Kori's scales offer no additional protection, being too small to effectively stop blades or spears. In full dragon they function like hardened steel armor, effectively reducing the impact of blunt attacks by half. Piercing or slashing attacks become blunt attacks unless they have a strength equal to 3/4 Kori's own. They also reduce the effectiveness of fire-based attacks, causing burns to be 2 degrees less severe.
- Wings - Each wing is roughly 6'6", causing a total wingspan of 13' from end to end. They are anchored to a modified clavicle with muscle structures spanning the whole back. They can be used to deflect or block many attacks, though Kori's stats determine their effectiveness. In full dragon these wings grow to 60' each. In either form a B rank taijutsu is required for flight.
- Horns - Each horn comes off the temple and begins at roughly 5" diameter. They curve outwards and down to expire just beside the jaw, a total of about 2'. They are hard enough to sustain blows from blades so long as Kori could resist them naturally. In full dragon these horns grow to about 24' total and starting at a diameter of 80".
- Manufactured Equipment
- Swordlance - This weapon is a total of 7' long with 4' being a shaft and 3' being a large sword-like blade. The blade is dual edged and tapered to a spear-like point with a base width of roughly 14". A "cross guard" rests about 3" behind the blade and is 18" wide, providing a good point to stomp when thrusting downwards for extra force. On the back end is a weighted steel sphere designed to act as a counterbalance as well as a mace.
- 15 Black Firebombs - A small 1" sphere containing a powder charge fortified with katon chakra. When thrown they will burst upon impact, causing an explosion of fire with the concussive force of an explosive tag and sending fire in all directions for 5 meters. These flames can cause first degree burns and ignite any flammable material. These are carried on his belt circling his waist. Special capsules were made from hardened steel and cushioned within specifically to prevent unintended detonation.
- Plate Cuirass - A blackened steel breastplate with sloping armor from the center of the chest outward to the sides. The armor is 1/4" thick. It covers from the belly to the shoulders and neckline as well as all sides. The back has a separate plate that is attached later and gives space for Kori's wings, sacrificing some protection for full mobility. Pauldrons cover the shoulders on either side with 3" spikes pointing away from the head. Leather rests beneath the metal to offer nominal protection to the lower belly without sacrificing mobility
- Plate Armguards - Each bicep is covered in a 1'4" plate of blackened steel. These plates cover from the elbow to the shoulder, ending a couple inches below the armpits. Leather rest beneath these plates for comfort as well as offering modest protection to the back of the elbow. faceted with a slide to the plate is a domed plate of 1/4" blackened steel to protect the outside of the elbow without sacrificing mobility.
- Plate Vambraces - Each forearm is covered with a 1'4" plate of blackened steel. These plates wrap all the way around the arm and goes from wrist to elbow with leather beneath for comfort. On the top of these is a 2" ridge-like blade that starts just above the wrist and slightly back over the elbow about 1".
- Skirt of Plates - A leather skirt hangs from Kori's waist down just past his knees. The pleated skirt has 1/4" thick blackened steel plates riveted onto it that're roughly 4" wide each with 2" between each plate.
- Plate Greaves - Each leg is covered by 1/4" blackened steel plates with separate plates at the knees for flexibility. They cover from ankle to just below the groin and wrap all the way around. Leather rest beneath it and at the joins to allow mobility. 3" above the ankles small 2" spikes start along the shin up to the knee, spaced an inch apart.

Abilities and Concentrations
| Possession of the Tyrant Wyrm | |
|---|---|
| The host has been completely overtaken by the spirit of Korialstraz, a titanic dragon. The host is effectively brain dead, allowing Kori absolute control of the body. Any previous memories, skills, or personality from the original host are utterly destroyed. Should Kori be removed from the host for whatever reason, the host dies and Kori is once again forced as a massless spirit without ability to affect or communicate with the material world. Korialstraz's influence is obvious to any observer. He's physically altered the body to extremes (described in the physical description section). Though many draconic influences are pressent, the dragon retains a humanoid form for day to day living. He may do jutsu using the host body as normal. However, his Youton jutsu are impossible to use in this state. To unlock his Youton jutsu he must temporarily take his origional golieth (20m tall from foot to top of shoulder, 20m long from base of neck to base of tail, 14m wide from shoulder to shoulder.) form. This transformation can be sustained for his (stamina+control)/2 in posts. This form comes with significant natural weapons and armor.[/b] | |

Jutsu
Living FurnaceShow
Body Regulation
D - Katon
Korialstaz's core temp is exothermic. To counter this he has developed a skill to keep katon chakra constantly swirling through his body. This allows him to maintain an optimal core temp in even extreme cold, up to -30 degree Fahrenheit. This is done passively without the need for hand seals.
*Katon • Torch
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user will exhale a small ball of flame directly in front of them. The ball lights up the surrounding area in a 5 meter radius and requires 5 or more Strength to destroy. Unless destroyed, it will stay locked in it's location for 5 posts before fading.
Match
D - Katon
A very short set of seals causes a flame to ignite at the tip of one of Kori's fingers, his choice. This flame has a strength of 5 for ignition but is primarily used for starting a fire instead of combat.
Cauterize
D - Katon
Kori does the needed seals and causes a small flame to appear over any wound no larger than 4 square inches. The flame sears the wound shut nearly instantly, staunching any bleeding. The process is obviously painful but not debilitating.
*Katon • Ripple
C-Rank Ninjutsu
By channeling katon chakra into their body, the user will release a burst of flame around their entire body, coming outwards from them. This sphere of roiling fire pushes outward with 10 speed and impacts whatever it touches with 10 strength, the sphere extending roughly 3 meters in radius from the user's body.
Wash in Flame
C - Nin/Tai Katon
Performing the seals Korialstraz will flood his wings with flames, igniting the air around them and their surface. He can then fan his wings in a direction, releasing the flames. They create a 7'x7' sheet of fire that moves at a speed equal to Kori's strength up to half his strength in meters. It has no physical force but an effective "strength" of 10 for the burning effects. He must release them all at once in the same direction and cannot use the flames from one wing at a time.
Tracer
C - Nin/Tai Katon
Kori performs the needed seals and washes his weapon in orange flames. The weapon will leave a large streak of flame as it swings through the air exactly where the blade traveled. These flames will linger for a single post and have 10 effective strength for purposes of ignition. The flames on the blade will last for 3 posts before dispersing.
*Katon • Flame Armor
B-Rank Ninjutsu
After the needed hand seals, the user will release katon outward from their body rapidly as the fire twists around them. This fire forms a 3-inch layer of flames around their body that manifests at 25 speed, and essentially provide a pseudo-defense against taijutsu for the next three posts. If anyone comes into contact with the armor, they will receive second degree burns and incoming attacks will be repelled with 15 strength.
Scorched Earth
B - Katon
Kori does the needed seals then plants his hand on the ground. A burst of fire will radiate outward from him in a 20 meter radius. This burst has a speed of 39, an effective strength of 1, and ignites anything it possibly can in range, including clothing and hair and wooden weapons that haven't been treated. The purpose of this attack is to cause a large wild fire to create a hostile battlefield to opponents.
Dragon's Fire
A - Katon
By channeling the chakra into his throat Korialstraz will enable a signature breath weapon. He will exhale a large cone of flame that spreads up to 20' diameter over a distance of 25 meters. The flames move at a speed of 25, an effective strength of 25, and can be sustained for up to 7 posts.

Shinden KenjutsuShow
Shinden Kenjutsu:*Shinden • Stream SplittingShinden Kenjutsu is a style originating in Marsh Country that emphasizes heavy and damaging slashes from positions that allow flexibility and focus. Typically the user will draw their sword and then lift it over their shoulder or head, in a downward slashing angle to allow for gravity to act as an enhancer for the blow and because of this, heavier swords such as nodachi or odachi are typical fare for the style but the moves can be done with a katana. This style also emphasizes firm and powerful body movements to deal with the lack of blade defense afforded by the stance assumed.
Requires: [Rigid Structure], [Sword or Hafted] Concentrations
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
Lifting their sword above their head the user of this technique drives it down in one fluid motion with their blade aimed to slash through or into whatever they are attacking. The force of this technique is amplified by the fact that their stance is aimed to enhance muscle tension and torque, allowing them to make the single slash a very powerful one.
*[Shinden • Sword Shield]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
As most Shinden users wield rather large blades, The user of this technique has trained themself to use the width of their blade as a sort of shield, using it to deflect most small weaponry and block blows reliably. Users should be very liberal with the use of this technique, as too strong a blow could damage their weapon and render it useless, while too thin a weapon makes the use of this technique more difficult than one with a wider blade.
*Shinden • Grass Cutter
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 10 Strength
With a stance shift, the user quickly draws their weapon to their waist with the blade facing away from their body. The user then delivers a quick and brutal horizontal thrust forward, followed by a slice, inspiring its name by cutting down unwary opponents. The technique is defensive in nature, allowing the user to guard with the intent to counter.
*Shinden • Form Improvement
C-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Prerequisite: 15 Strength
The user assumes a somewhat curved stance by drawing one elbow down and bending it back so that the sword points straight up above the user with the left hand at cheek level and the right hand at eye level. This shifts the sword into pointing straight up instead of curved in any direction, allowing for firm and quick slashes and thrusts. This stance also allows the user to recover from an attack at a greater speed, preserving the user's defensive position without sacrificing the power behind their attacks.
*Shinden • Aerial Saw
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 15 Strength
Leaping up off the ground in any Shinden stance, the user draws their blade down and creates a powerful overhead slash which doubles as a defensive movement, the user capable of moving the sword to displace weight and momentum to change direction if needed. With this technique, the user can also form heavy slashes on uneven or unstable terrain without dependency on solid ground.
Shinden • Falling Spike
B - Tai (Maneuver)
Leaping off the ground towards their target Kori aims his weapon straight below them in a thrust. He will plant his feet on the cross guard to add his mass to the attack. The strength of the impact is effectively equal to his strength +9. The extra power comes at the cost of lack of mobility and vulnerability to attack, -9 taijutsu for purposes of evading attack.
Dragon's FuryShow
Dragon's Fury:SlashKorialstraz is a mighty creature that commands an imposing figure. He uses this, along with his natural weapons, to his advantage. By using large sweeping attacks with extreme power behind them he will create distance between himself and targets. When one has been isolated he will unleash a savage attack using any tools at his disposal to control the pace of the fight and wear them down, or outright slaughter them in the process.
Requires: [Rigid Structure] / [Close Quarters Combat]
D - Tai (Maneuver)
Kori will sweep his claws in wide arcs and return them to a defensive position quickly, aiming to rake across any opponents nearby. While doing so he will follow the swipe with a wing, potentially knocking his opponent off balance or prone (if he has greater strength) at the same time.
Circle Attack
D - Tai (Maneuver)
Kori will spin in place, retracting his wings, and use his tail to bash any opponents around him. If he has greater strength the targets may be knocked prone.
Buffet
D - Tai (Maneuver)
Kori flaps his wings hard and repeatedly, creating a strong gust of wind. This gust moves out to half his strength in meters but causes no direct damage. Anything caught in the gust is forced backwards a number of meters equal to the difference between their and his strength if his is greater. If they have a (strength+taijutsu)/2 less than Kori's strength, they will be knocked prone.
Overpower
C - Tai (Discipline)
Kori has found the best places to aim for on the body to achieve a grapple. If possible he will grab these areas and dig in his talons, forcing himself on the unfortunate target.
Plant
C - Tai (Stance)
Kori will dig in his heels and refuse to move, using his arms and wings to shield his vulnerable parts. While doing so he is immobile but others require a strength greater than his to force him to move. He also grows resilient, ignoring damage from attacks equal to 1/2 his strength or less.
Rising Dragon
B - Tai (Maneuver)
Kori can fly. He has fair mobility while airborn but can not pull off complex manuevers. He is subject to all normal flying rules and can only move up to his speed.
