And you infer this from?
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

First the fact that he's usually portrayed as a skeleton, second he's the carriage driver to heck, third spirits usually tend to bath in flames, it's refreshing and it's a good way to replenish energy.

Skeletons? Dullahans?



Most of the time they keep flesh.

A skeleton carrying around a skull just isn't as intimidating..

the dullahan has many forms, usually it is either a skeleton, an old man, or a headless rider.

Still... Headless rider is a bit more intimidating than a bag of bones.

it doesn't need to be intimidating, if he's the being of death.

darn it it's annoying I can't remember this guys name

He's the personification of death, often seen as the servant of the grim reaper. He drives a stage coach accompanied by two skeletal servants that load up the spirits of the dead. If you see him you die.

In one of the stories thee boys pelted his carriage with rocks and broke the wheels. Two of them ran off but the third felt bad and helped him repair the wheels, he was in the form of an old man at the time. The next morning both of the boy's friends had died, and he woke up with all of his hair turned gray.

Re: Warriors of Myth

originally I had planned to name him Ace Cephas after saint peter, he was originally going to be a dragon hunter. However after I did some more research, I decided it would be slightly more interesting to have him adopted by dragons. I thought that only the most powerful would still be alive after the mass genocide so I decided the European king of dragons would probably be the best. His exorcist powers could also probe to be useful group of mysteries, and also explain the slight rivalry between mine and shadowulf's characters.

Ahkou?


It was something like that..


==============


Anyway... Don't you think that your character might be a little bit potent for his age and such?



I mean, he has combat skills that would take most people lifetimes to get and he's a genius. And he has like seventeen powers and a cool weapon.

unknown biological age. Staying around powerful mythical creatures often creates an anti aging affect. With dragons it doesn't all pile back on top of you as soon as you leave their vicinity. HE doesn't know his real age because they mostly lived in seclusion. honestly I could guess he found him somewhere along the seventeenth century. It was several years after the genocide at least.

or hit him in the back of the head with a large hammer, pierce his heart with fairy steel, or freeze him, or over power him, or get one of the other legendary creatures to engage him in fight, etc.

]THe entire reason why he doesn't like cats is because of the dragons and mystic tigers used to fight over prey.
