Armored Flesh MX-K19c - This body modification consists of two biotech glands installed into the back of the subject's neck, just under the back of the skull. After the operation the subject can control these glands by means of two implants in the subject's brain. When needed this armor will expand from the back of the subject's neck, over the top of the head, down the arms, across the chest, around the waist, down the back and then down to the legs and over the feet, completely covering every portion of the subject's body. The material that expands is made of a material known as liquid Cie. The implants can be removed at any time from the wearers neck, however once removed they can only be put back in through another operation. Also, it does not slow the wearer's body down, it actually bonds into the flesh, making itself an actual part of the subject. It blocks elemental energy under 150,000 clicks and plasma under 125,000 clicks. This is a modified version of the K19 series Armored Flesh. It was specifically modified for Drake Raven by Krauser Killener. (Special Attributes: +45% DEF, Class: Heavy, Notes: Elemental Blocking, Plasma Blocking)

Draconian Amulet - This ancient and mysterious amulet is made of a very strong alloy and is embedded with tiny jewels. The amulet, once in contact with a person, has the power to give the bearer the added 70,600 power level of a dragon until the amulet is released or taken off. This amulet however is indestructible and any type of fire attack will be absorbed into the amulet causing no harm to the wearer or any of the surroundings. There may be more than one of these strange amulets because on the backside of it there is the symbol of the Elder Lab. (Special Attributes: +70,600 PL)

Rebirth Stone - This stone brings its carrier back from the dead once, after its carrier has died once it will bring them back from the dead without having to use a wish, as it brings its carrier back to life the first time, it restores their HP to 50. After it has been used once, it is a useless blue stone.

Thor's Legacy - As legends speak, this blade will become one of the few who make history. This awesome sword is the result of many items combined at Drake Raven's wish. The Asto Blade, The Dragonic Blade, the Aldez Sword, and the Amulet of the Dragon have all became one. Now, the massive sword at hand will be wielded by Drake Raven as he sees fit. This is a four and one-forth foot blade. The hilt is about a foot long, with a two inch point on the end. The hilt is made of solid crystal over a cie core and then was wrapped in dragon hide, for a solid grip. On the middle of the hand guard there is a large red ruby with an encrusted dragon on it which was giving to him by Thor. The hand guard also goes out and splits to form four teeth like objects which they are meant to symbolize. The blade itself is made out of several layers of material. The outer layer is made of ruby, while the inner layer is made of blackened Cie metal which has been hollowed out, and contains a large mass of shielded Eather Energy. Upon a successful strike, this corrosive energy will be left in a victims wound to fester and eat away at the surrounding area. The blade has a double cutting edge has been filed, giving it teeth, as to cut through armor and skin, with a tearing effect. The weight of this blade is about 16 pounds, being a lighter blade for a wizard, and is 6 inches wide. The blade comes with its own custom scabbard, which is worn on the bearers back. The scabbard is made mostly from well shined steel, but there is a decoration of black flames on it.

This blade was bless with many ways in which it could help others but also it could kill them just as easy so drake put an enchantment on it in which only allows him draw the sword. This spell can't ever be broken, even by Drake himself, and whenever Drake dies, and cant return; the sword will be useless to anyone. One of the original swords contained a small power cell. The power cell currently contains 5,000 clicks, but can be upgraded later by a Scientist. This power cell actually charges the blade when Drake uses it, adding an extra amount of damage to his attack, however once the entire 5,000 points have been used they cannot be used again until the blade is given at least several hours to recharge. The last abilities are from his amulet and can be used even without Drake releasing the blade from its sheath though only Drake can use these abilities and if Drake ever dies the amulet will become useless and will only be there for decoration. One ability from the amulet is that the ruby can form a barrier around Drake's body and block all fire attacks under his own power level. The most powerful ability of the ruby is when he awakens the dragon within and starts a transformation. A transformation of his body into that of a Dragon. The Dragon that Drake turns into is 20 feet in length and has a wing span of 22 feet. It weighs around 475 lbs. It is a brilliant golden color and looks very majestic. When this happens Drake's armor and any weapons he has on will give him the ability of the weapons, defensive factors, abilities, and special attributes. When in this form he seems stronger and faster as it raises strength by 5% and speed by 15%. (Special Attributes: +45% ATT, Class: Heavy, Notes: +5% STR, +15% AGI, Indestructible, Fire Barrier Creation, Dragon Transformation)

Zidala - Zidala was originally a whelp that was conjured with the help of Drake’s Amulet of the Dragon. After several months of learning and growing she took off to become a Dragon. Zidala is still referred as a female because of the fits that she sometimes goes through if something doesn't go her way, but other than that she truly isn't a she. Drake is having a hard time controlling Zidala as on the first night she showed herself she gave Nan’Garth and Drake a run for there money. Zidala is 16’7" tall whenever she is standing on her hind legs and her tail is another 15 feet long. She weighs, like most dragons around 515 pounds. Because of beings so light she can fly fairly quickly. Her wings span is 42 feet long. She is very graceful in the air since she has practiced almost everyday since she turned to a dragon. (LVL: 21, CC: Aggressor)
(This character has not purchased a backpack.)
Dragon Vengeance - Drake learned this during the last days in which he was in the strange trance. This is the most powerful spell that he knows currently. This spell starts with an extremely complex incantation. After the first set of incantations are over with a symbol forms below his feet. This makes a dome around an outer circle of the symbol. The symbol is a deep red and so is the dome. While in the dome Drake is protected from all physical attacks. Energy attacks are absorbed and added to the over all attack. (Energy = Ki, Plasma, Elemental, Eather, etc…) Drake then begins to say another set of incantations. This set of incantations produces a Dragon made from the energy of Drake, this is usually maxed out, but isn't required. The snake-like Dragon flies up into the air and hovers above Drake. Only energy attacks above the dragons own power level can kill it. The Dragon then sacrifices itself and the symbol of the dragon appears under Drake and creates another dome that is fifty feet across and contains all of the power that the dragon had. This dome is only able to block physical attacks but no one can teleport in or out. Drake then says the very last incantation. This one then makes the outer dome begin to shrink. As it shrinks anything that touches the dome is broken down on a molecular level and their power is added to the attacks. As soon as the outer dome touches the smallest dome, an explosion ensues. This explosion spreads out for a minimum of 200 feet, depending on the amount of power used. The height ranges from 50 feet or more. This ability has to be used with Vis'Das because the transformation into a War Wizard is required to even say the extremely hard incantations.

Gale Force - Drake closes his eyes and begins to concentrate. For a few seconds there is total calmness in all of area but then a huge thirty feet in diameter orb begins to form above my body. This orb is transparent and doesn't distort images on the other side. At the bottom of the orb is a hole that is twenty feet across. Once the orb is complete there is a sudden roar as air fills the orb till it is full. This last for a turn and the air rising around Drake's body creates a barrier from physical weapons. The twenty foot hole then seals over. Drake then raises his hands up and brings them together slowly. While Drake is doing this the orb is compacting until his hands are together. The orb will shrink down to five feet in diameter and will float down in front of his body. With the orb still in front of his body he jumps over his target. Once over the target the orb separates into five orbs, each one foot in diameter, which I then throw them at opponent. These orbs can barely be seen and they move fast through the air since they are made of air. Once an orb hits anything there is a huge explosion of the compressed air and will either throw a person back a few hundred feet or will completely destroy them if they are under the power level. The average explosion will be about 100 feet in diameter and 50 feet high. Sometimes it will be bigger or smaller depending on what mood Drake is in and how tired he is.

Path of Honor - Drake has been around for quite a while and has seen many fights. It is passive ability which requires no energy for its basic effects but must be activated by Drake.

Drake being a different kind of wizard has used a sword in most of his battles during the years, but as he learns more and more about his wizard abilities the more he is drawn away from his sword and wanting to make it even for both warriors he came up with this ability. So for this ability all Drake has to do is snap his fingers at any point during the battle and the ability takes effect. It requires one charge from his ability Raven's knowledge in order for the magic to work. After the snap of his fingers his energy scans the area for any weapons on the person or persons that he is fighting and once found his magic curses the item as long as Drake's wisdom is above the opponents.

This curse is a very powerful one as it will hinder someone from using their weapons. Firstly, the curse disables all enchantments and abilities on weapons leaving only the attack attribute on the weapon. These abilities are not permanently cursed, just until the end of the battle. Though if the person still wants to use the weapon, the curse has one last ability to deter that from happening. It will cause damage equal to the attack of the weapon at two different instances, to the opponent that grabs it. This is only true is Drake does not draw his own weapon. There is no defense for this kind of damage, but again it can only happen twice to the opponent during the battle and then that portion of the curse is lifted but the other side of the abilities being negated is still in effect.

This can only be used once per battle, twice a day.

Raven's Knowledge - During his break from the reality of Solaris, Drake visited his childhood home in the Dragons Den. While there he meditated on several things. Well towards the end of his break he walked around the huge cavern and then he spied something underneath some rubble. It was a fairly large leather pack. Drake pulled it out of the rubble and then sat on a large boulder. Drake then began to go through the contents of the bag. He found one fairly large book and some other items in which belonged to Drake's father, Danial. He began to read it, it was his fathers magic journal, and found a very useful spell he decided to learn. He took it home and then began to study and basically not stopping until he finally made progress. This took him several months but he just recently mastered the spell.

The basic structure and idea of this spell is another source for power that can be used for whatever purposes. This energy comes from his hp and so for how many Hp he has, he can use that for energy, though when he uses it, his health goes down. Though this form of energy is very unique and so items that block energies like Ki and Plasma won't usually block it. This energy isn't exactly like the normal energy that he charges because he can only charge 10% of it at a time. Whenever used the energy takes on a deep red color. After he learned how to control this energy with relative ease he looked into some ways he could further the use of this power.

The one and only way that the book had, that he found, was the most useful. This spell is not one invoked by incantation but by drawing in the air with the form of energy that Drake recently discovered. He draws a glyph in the air in front of his body. This glyph when finished glows for a second and then collapses on itself. The red glyph is replaced by a green sphere that hovers in the middle of where the glyph was. Drake then touches it and it expands outwards in all directions. It goes one hundred and fifty feet in every direction. If swallowed up by the green field it takes any defensive, whether energy or physical, item that blocks against energy of Plasma, Ki, and Elemental and reduces them by half. Though this is true only when the wisdom of the opponent is less than Drake's. Though if more, but not more than fifty percent more then it reduces it by twenty-five percent. This is the only way Drake has figured out to use this in a more advanced way but he will continue to try and expand his knowledge.

Stalker - This ability was taught to Drake by Thor when the great dragon first found out I had magical capabilities. This spell has two parts and each will help Drake in the means of travel and escape. The first part is shadow walking. I can enter into one shadow and then reappear in any shadow of Drake's choice. Also if Drake is touching someone then they can travel with him. Then next part is the ability to become invisible. Drake says several small incantations and then says his name. He can also say the name of another person and then they are invisible but Drake knows where they are and they have control over how long they are in that state.

Vis'Das (Transformation) - This form of drake's has been pushed when his body has grown to a pount of being quite pwerful. This ability first came around by Drake studying in some old book for the meaning of Vis'Das. It means War Wizard in a rare Solarian language. A War Wizard is one that is skilled in both hand to hand combat and the arcane magics. Though even when Drake is not in this state he is striving to become more like this so he uses a equal mixture of magic and hand to hand combat. This spell is now triggered by extreme anger brought by normal ocurances or in battle from getting his ass kicked.

There are several noticable charges in which include that his eyes lose all color and are pure white. Though pretty much blind his mind is more open and he can see better than if he were just looking through his normal eyes. Another couple things that are noticeable is the sudden increase in musscle mass and the strange energy field that seems to grow whenever he is charging his energy. This field of energy changes color that correspond to the emotion that drake is going through.

Vortex Disc - Drake learned this ability when he fused with Cirin. It has two ways in which it can be used. The first way will be the one mostly used. Drake begins to concentrate. This ability is simple to activate as Drake puts his hands in front of his body in a triangle. If done in the correct way it will automatically begin. This spell comes in stages. The air begins to swirl in front of his hands at a very quick rate. This can be barely seen and is about a 1ft in diameter. When in this stage it allows it to capture any energy attack that is under Drake's own power level. Whenever Drake absorbs another attack or puts some of his own power into it, the Disc grows to correspond with however much he places in the attack or absorbs and also gets a whitish coloring to it. At max it will grow to be a 5 ft disc. Because of the Disc being made of air it can fly at incredible speeds and once it leaves his hands he is able to control it with thought. The second way that Drake can use this attack is a little simpler but is faster so that he can barrage the opponent with it. Again Drake has to concentrate and hold his hands like he is holding something like a disc. Then a whitish disc appears and is about a foot in diameter. Drake has to charge this disc by factors of 1,000. Drake can do this with both hands and then throw them at the opponent. The disc can quickly reform in his hands so that he can continuously launch them until he wishes to stop or runs of power. He cannot control this after it leaves his hands and this form cannot absorb other attacks.
Drake was born to a fifth generation Solarian family. He grew up in the southern regions of Xhan Tarn with his mother, Isha, and his father, Daniel. His parents wanted him to have a normal childhood so they postponed training him in the arts of magic, his father was a wizard and his mother was a sorceress. Well as time marched forward and Drake grew older it came time that they had to make the trip to an oasis in the badlands where his parents thought would be the best place to train in private. He was ten at the time.

Well first they wanted to make a trip to the city to get supplies and then report where they were going. Going through the forest on the way to the oasis they had to cross a clearing, like many others, but as they got towards the center there were several pairs of bead like eyes that started to show through the oncoming fog and forest. They tried to back away from the threat but it was a trap and several of those eyes appeared in the back of them. Not really knowing what to do other than fight so that’s what they did. The fog drifted away from the clearing with a gust of wind and revealed the starved pack of wolves. It was a small group of the outcast males but they did there work good and brought down his parents about as quickly a group could against Drake's parents. Well the stronger wolves took there time and devoured his parents so the weaker ones in the back didn't eat the food before they got to it and they knew that Drake would give them any problems.

Well luckily that 2-3 minuets that he wasn't being attacked gave time for a dragon to come across the scene. This dragon wasn't in a very good mood because this pack of wolves just ate its whelp in its war path and that was the last thing they were going to do. The dragon destroyed every wolf in that clearing. The rage of the dragon was the kinda thing that was heard of in tales passed on to kids but there was no hero. It came across Drake and must have felt like they were destined to become friends. A dragon loses his child from the wolves and Drake loses his parents. So the dragon took him in as his own.

Well Thor, the dragon, gave Drake his name. He based it off of Drakeling, and got Drake. Drake's real name is Zed and there are only a few that know this. Thor had some limited knowledge of wizardry but after a while Drake was on search for more information. Drake also began to learn other things from the dragon. Ways of combat, honor, and gave him insights on many things. Drake studied with the dragon for 10 years before making his home in the forest that he still lives in today.

Drake kept in contact with some people and always kept up on what was happening around Solaris. He was registered with the city but never had a full citizen membership. He led a solitary life visiting with Thor a couple times a week to talk. This kept going on for until he was 29.

He decided that he needed to take a trip to his parent’s home in the summer so he packed up and left. It was a long journey but whenever he got there he found someone occupying the house. Whenever he knocked a young woman answered and that was the first time Drake ever seen his soon to be wife. Drake talked with Sarah's, the woman, father and found out many things. There was only one book left over from when his parents lived there. Drake was allowed to stay with them for a while so he read what he could of the book while also talking with Cain and Sarah.

During this time he and Sarah became extremely close and so he didn’t return to the forest in the fall like he planned. He stayed until the next summer. During this time he married Sarah with Cain's blessing and Sarah was pregnant. Well around the due point of Sarah a whelp came to the house and began to tug at Drake, trying to get him to go somewhere. Drake didn’t know what to think but the whelp made him think of Thor. He told them that he had to make the trip back north and told them that he would be back. He started off that afternoon.

Whenever he got to the cave he found his old friend and could tell there was something wrong. He found out that Thor was dieing. Thor and Drake talked for a long time until Thor handed him several items and he died after preserving his essence for Dragon in an amulet. A saddened Drake made the trip back to the south to be struck once more in the heart. His wife had died delivering Drake's daughter. She was named Sarah because of her dieing. Cain furious at Drake told him to leave because he couldn't have his daughter. Drake was numb to everything else that happened. This was the hardest time in his life and whenever he regained from the numbness he was back at the woods. Where he mostly didn't come out of. He was 30.

Time flew by and the wounds healed over but the scars where there. At the age of 48 he became a full citizen of Solaris and began Training. He seen many things and became a respected warrior. He was befriended by Roland Deschain Vinnen and became a member of the Mor'Talj, which disbanded soon after. Eventually he was visit by Thor one last time for the final lesson with the help of the amulet and then that amulet gave him his companion Zidala, a stubborn Dragon Whelp.

Well at the age of 49, and a Master Rank warrior, his daughter traveled up north after Drake going down to see her. He made certain that he did and while talking with her and telling about him she decided to go up to Solaris city. Well he continues to strive for betterment of himself but has relaxed his training and has started the Mor'Talj back up to train his apprentices. <bgsound src="theme.mid">
