;; appearance
general Drago is a well-built guy, with dark brown hair and steel-blue eyes. He is about 6’1 and his weight fits his age perfectly. Drago has some facial hair, which is kept neat looking, and he often seems to be a strong person in appearance. While Drago isn’t overly muscular, he is athletically built and he looks to be someone that keeps to himself most of the time. For clothing, Drago wears a robe-like black hooded jacket, and matching pants that are somewhat loose, along with a pair of boot-like footwear. A favored accessory that he wears is a long gold chain around his neck, with a circular pendant around it. The pendant is the same gold coloring of the chain, and it is almost Celtic looking in design. Drago, once transformed is a bit larger than that of his human form. He gains normal werewolf features, and becomes stronger as well. Drago in this form will also have dark colored fur and eyes like he did in his human form. Large canine-like fangs and claws will also be formed through this transformation.
favorite He likes his eyes the most.
hate He doesn’t really like his height, and wishes to be taller.
heritage Italian
ethnicity Caucasian
;; personality
general Drago has a strong sense of creativity, and chooses to be more of a leader instead of a follower. He can be stubborn, but usually is someone that can be counted on, and has a deep sense of loyalty to those that he would consider friends. Drago is also one that tends to be “lawful” and act towards anything he believes is right. He also tends to keep to himself most of the time, but if needed, he will voice his opinion. Drago is very strong-willed and enjoys anything art related – Literature or Music, or just the more traditional artwork. When he is "ticked" off, or angered, he can be quite rude at times, and occasionally can be heard running his mouth towards people he does not like. But other than that, he can be considered an “ok” guy.

;; origins
general Drago was born October 10, during one clear and windless night in Transylvania. The night of course was calm, and when he first appeared into the world, his father quickly named him after his grandfather – who’s name was also Drago. Like any normal infant, Drago was always one to cry and seek attention – which he usually got, and this made his brother jealous over time. Drago’s older brother Adolfo hated Drago, and often wished that he were the “only child” again.
As Drago grew from an infant to a child, his father began to teach him about the world (as he knew it) and about the many forms of art. Drago soon learned that he had much artistic talent, and when he became six years old, he was enrolled into the Transylvanian school. Around this time his younger sister Aislin was born, and Drago became very protective of her since his older brother was often reckless in his decisions. Drago did not like the way his brother treated others, and when he tried to reason with Adolfo, he would usually find that a fist to the face was nothing he liked either – and Adolfo would usually laugh about his threats to his younger brother.
School wasn’t the best experience ever for young Drago, and although he liked learning, he was getting bored with it. Drago did have some friends, and they seemed to respect him for the most part, but school was just something that he could no longer stand. The lad was just tired of hearing about what the church/ministry had to say, and knew that deep down he couldn’t agree with it. Drago’s father didn’t quite support the church either, and told his young son to follow what he believed in, no matter what.
When the boy turned eleven, he tried to explore the many other forms of religion and eventually just decided that he could live off of his own beliefs, instead of what everyone else thought. Drago secretly continued to study the different ideas of the world, and remained quiet for the most part. Later on around the age of twelve, his father taught him how to defend himself by means of weaponry and general combat. Drago’s father had not shared the family secret yet (of them being Werewolves), and soon the challenge had arrived for the boy.
At the age of thirteen, his life soon changed completely and much confusion struck him at the time. One full moon night, Drago experienced his first physical shifting, and the changes began to take place quickly. Confused and unsure of what was happening to him, the boy ran off into the woods and became more animalistic as the seconds passed. His parents, sometime after he had ran off, realized that he was gone and they quickly became worried. Drago’s father and mother soon went off in different directions, in order to search for their lost son. The changes were taking place in them at the same time, and finally Drago’s father had found him halfway through the change.
Drago looked horrified at his father, and as his mere flesh disappeared, he gained the form of a large werewolf in which he soon growled heavily, challenging his father. His father too changed and then growled back, accepting the challenge. Drago then leapt up and charged, making his father send a blast of strength towards him as the fight continued. But even though Drago appeared to be strong, he wasn't experienced in strength like his father and was soon knocked to the ground, almost unconscious at the time. Luckily for the boy, the moon was already disappearing and the two returned back to normal. Drago was very weak at the moment, and soon passed out.
Knowing that his son couldn't move at the time, Kael (his father) picked him up and brought him home. When Drago finally awoke a few hours later, his parents tried to explain to him that they were Werewolves and that scared the boy at first. He had only heard mention of Werewolves a few times in his young life, and wasn't sure if he could believe it or not. Drago's parents then reassured him that he would be alright, and for a while he was silent at home, trying to make sense of all of this.
As the years passed, Drago eventually came to terms with his Lycanthropy and seemed to be getting along fine in the world. After he had finally graduated from school, he met up with a face that was neither farmilar nor unfarmiliar. As he was out one night, he ran into his grandmother, Stella and her husband. Both of them were vampires (read the family info for more), and Stella quickly recognized her grandson. Drago didn't know too much about her, except what his father told him and tried to stay away. Almost cornered, his grandmother began to ask him "why did he look like he'd seen a ghost" and Drago was trying hard to ignore her words - didn't want anything to do with them. Finally his father came to the rescue, and told the two to leave, in which they did.
Drago, at the age of twenty came to work in his father's shop, and soon began writing small news articles about the village. Later on these articles would become longer and people would actually want to read what he wrote. Drago also continued to paint and his skills increased with time. He actually became quite good at it, and Drago still resides in Transylvania today.
family info Drago’s family was originally from Italy, and they moved to Transylvania by his grandfather’s decision. While his grandfather and grandmother were not Werewolves, his grandmother was bitten by a vampire after having his father Kael. Since Kael was born before she was bitten, he did not develop any vampiric traits and as soon as Drago’s grandfather learned of her being turned into a vampire, he took Kael and told her to stay away from them. Kael’s mother was bitten at exactly 29 years old, and later she moved away to be with the vampire that bit her.
Upon growing up, Drago’s father learned of the many foul creatures in the world and eventually of his own mother’s transformation. While he was upset, he knew that the fact could never be changed and did not worry too much about it, doing what his father instructed him to do. A few years later when Kael turned twenty-one years old, he saw his mother again – but the only difference was he saw her with her vampire husband – and she confronted him, nearly scaring him to death. Years later, after this encounter Kael’s father died a mysterious death – which was thought to be the work of vampires by Kael himself.
Kael then inherited the small house and a shop that had belonged to his father before his death. The shop sold various artistic items, materials, and writing utensils for small fees, and the house was nice but still had some faults to it. Kael also met Ianna around this time and the two knew that they were in love and eventually married. Before this, however, Kael was attacked and bitten by a Werewolf. One full moon night after they were married, Kael experienced another transformation and nearly injured his wife in the process. Ianna, although she was scared, knew that he never wanted to cause any harm to her and said that she would remain with him during anything – which eventually led her to being bitten by her husband, turning her into a Werewolf as well. Sometime after that, the two had their first born son (Adolfo), and a few years after their first child they had a second (Drago). Six years after the birth of Drago, they had another child that they named Aislin and as the children born before her in her family, she was also born a Werewolf.

sample
It was a nice and clean night out that night, almost peaceful to think. Drago was out star gazing and searching for constellations that would inspire him to create another painting, relaxing for the moment as well. With a small telescope in hand, he looked to the skies, searching for that individual star – his inspiration. A small breeze soon picked up and he could hear the loose rattling of leaves from a nearby tree. The rattling was not that meaningful, but made him think of all life in general – new leaves are always born, they live their lives and drop off in the fall, and then they begin the process all over again. Drago took his eyes of the skies for a moment, as he heard someone speaking from behind him and it seemed to be that of a female voice.
Drago quickly turned around, and looked to the person from behind him – it was like he knew her for a moment, but he wasn’t sure of who it was. She was young and beautiful, but at the same time she also had a deadly aura around her – it was his grandmother. Drago had stood there in shock for a moment, looking at her as if he had seen a ghost, only remembering that he had seen her once before when he was young boy. “Hello, Drago.” She said trying to sound innocent with a false tone, soon beginning to speak again. “It has been some time, since I last saw you.” Said his vampiric grandmother with that same tone.
Drago remained silent for a moment, for he was not sure what to say in response as he was in shock. “What do you want?” Drago said as he managed to finally speak. She moved closer to him, but he tried to keep his distance from her as she responded to his words. “Only to see you. What did you think I came for?” The woman responded to her grandchild. There was clearly an age difference in the two, as she was supposed to look much older, and he was to be much younger. But really since she was bitten by a vampire, her looks did not change much at all and Drago had to experience becoming older everyday of his life.
The man looked to the ground, and said nothing, for he knew she was dangerous in her own rights and he really didn’t want anything to do with her. “If only your grandfather was alive..” She began to speak, but was cut off by Drago. “And you wonder why he is dead? Save me the story and leave me alone!” Drago said in certain anger, quickly looking back up to her as he said it. “Well, I see then. Your father clearly hasn’t taught you any manners..” The vampiric woman said, soon being cut off by Drago again. “You know nothing of my father, you old hag!” Said Drago, clearly being upset by her. “My dear boy, let’s not get started on such petty arguments!” Said his grandmother, taking that last remark as an insult.
Drago glared at her, and then she smiled, still trying to be innocent. “Well, Drago..if you really must be so angry at your dear grandmother, then I will leave you to enjoy the stars.” She said, soon disappearing into the night, leaving Drago to be alone in silence.
