Powers
0. Dragon-to-human transformation
1. Ice breath – Being a white dragon his body is naturally cold and by concentrating the manala energy near his mouth as he breathes out he is able to cause it to become increasing colder to the point where it becomes either a dense fog of cold air or a stream of ice particals. He can use this in either form, although naturally the technique is much larger while in his draconic form
2. Healing – He has managed to learn how to use manala energy to heal wounds on both himself and others.
3. Regeneration – As a dragon his cells divide much quickly incase of injury which increasing his recovery rate when compared to other races. He is also able to concentrate manala energy towards his wounds and cause the cells to divide even quicker then normal for him in a fashion similar to his healing technique
4. Draconic strength – While he is physically stronger then most humans in his own human form, his body is still limited in his strength and constitution. By concentration on his draconic blood with the help of manala energy he is able to greatly increase both for short periods of time.
Weapon
His own body, Even in his human form he is stronger then normal humans.
Appearance:
While in his human form he takes on a tall and lithe, although muscular, form with light colored skin and straight white hair and white eyes. He is usually found in some sort of business outfit even while he isn’t working at Sampo.
In his dragon form he stands roughly a story high and is about fourty or so feet in length and the entirety of his body is covered in hard white scales excluding his wings which span around fifty feet when fully extended which has a one nailed claw near the middle. His head has a small crest which extrudes from the back of his head for about three feet which is connected in full by a flap of skin which is covered in spiky scales much like the ones on his neck.
Personality:
While Valkoinen is loyal, he keeps himself distant from others even to some of his closer friends, this is an offshoot of his solitude as a dragon while he grew up in the world. He is also quite vain about his appearance, and abit greedy which both are also attributed to his draconic heritage. Although he has lately become a bit more open, even to the point of being known as somewhat of a romantic by close friends, he has a small temper when angered and is otherwise overly proud when in the presence of others leading them to believe that he is anti-social
story:
Valkoinen is a third generation dragon, making him somewhat weaker when compared to older dragons as well as abit smaller, however this has helped him survive by making it harder for others to find him whenever he goes into hiding. After living a comfortable and rather selfish life, doing pretty much whatever he wanted as a sacred beast, accepting offerings of both flesh and valuable metals wherever he traveled, his life was forced to change with the the fall of the goddess that created them. He traveled to the European mountains to stay away from human society, not completely out of fear but rather the desire and instinct of survival. He continued to roam the mountains for many hundreds of years until humans made their way west to his domain and remained many years after by fighting off the intruders, although this only proved to draw attention to him and he was forced to move yet again.
This time he moved back east into china, terrorizing the locals as he made his way across the country gathering a hoard of treasure as he did so. After managing to gather a decent sized treasure hoard from the humans he faked his own death and flew north-west, hiding his treasure away and then taking on a human form to interact with other humans near finland. He remained in that part of the continent for hundreds of years, always moving around from different villages, changing his appearance every few decades so as to not to draw any suspicion from anyone.
During this time his attitude toward humans changed drastically, where once he felt an almost overbearing pride towards being far superior to them, he now felt a sense of belonging which without the goddess around to prevent it changed into an attraction towards them. After about fifty years from realizing his own feelings had changed he tried to settle down with a human mate to lead a peaceful life, but this was to bring hardships upon himself. His draconic pride failed to allow him to remain faithful to only one human female and while leading two relationships he realized just how fragile the human mind and body really were, the first one he met bore him a child or rather would’ve if either of them survived the pregnancy… it seeming that the magic’s that allowed for their child to be in human form didn’t protect the mother from the tremendous appetite that was needed to bear it. The latter was more fortunate, after seeing that a child couldn’t be born so easily he gave up on such hopes and put the first relationship out of his mind while he turned his attention fully onto the second whom managed to live a long, peaceful and prosperous life… albeit sixty years seemed to have been stretching it when it came to human lifespans.
Heartbroken and alone, he moved away from the area and returned to his dragon form, leaving behind the familiar countryside which brought so many memories and feelings to the surface and instead took out his frustration on Chinese settlers to the east for a decade or two before moving on to Russia. Being a white dragon, his body was naturally comfortable with the cold unlike the local settlers who managed to survive there, taking up his old habits he returned to accepting offerings and in return allowed the majority of them to live and even went so far as to helping them survive the harsh environments. Getting tired of such life he gathered his hoard of treasure and traveled back to finland where he fell into hibernation and awoke to find the world a much different place. Taking in sights as far away from his lair as France and Japan, Valkoinen managed to maintain a fluent speech of Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Latin, and Spanish as well as cultures from each civilization he went to and ending up spending a great deal of time in Japan during the Heian period as he took in the art and literature of the age.
Continuing his travels from Japan back to Russia, spending one or two hundred years in each before moving on, he remained an active and somewhat social part of human societies all over the eastern globe, stopping his travels in Russia during the 1900’s and living there through the Russian revolution where Finland declared independence and continued to do so until about 1920, where Finland gained their first president, before leaving with a group of immigrants to the new country of America.
Finding the new land interesting for twenty years or so, allowing him to return to his dragon form and travel to the western side of the continent where he returned to taking tributes on the native americans, the continual expansion of human society and the decrease of the wilderness caused him to abandon trying to find a new home there and he promptly returned to his lair in Finland as well as finish society in which currently in another war, and stayed there till after they started into the computer age.
He joined a few universities over the years to improve his knowledge of other parts of the world as well as human civilization as a whole before he managed to get into business, His first business was more or less a flop, It only lasting a decade before it had to declare bankruptcy and with him leaving the country for near a hundred years he managed to allow everyone to forget about him and then started another, this time it was a Finnish banking company called Sampo which also almost had to declare bankruptcy after a war broke out yet again, this time however he used much of his own hoard of treasure and artifacts to continue to fund his company through the short depression that followed, expanding his business with the creation of Crystallex which was dual company of both a mining company, as well as scientific research company on the development of mineral and crystal formations, that he created to follow suit with the rising company known as Crest Mining. While it was much smaller, and not nearly as well funded or run as Crest Mining, It managed to hold its own against the competition allowing Valkoinen to sell off his previous business which eventually fell through after his departure and many years later he regained the company name Sampo, this time having the main headquarters outside of what was known as finland due to the face that the company Sota now owned it, and used it for his own mining company which has stayed with it ever since.
With the discovery of manala crystals as well as the rise of the new religion/government of the Manalists Valk’s company was started to take another decline, due to the desire of not wanting to draw attention to himself he allowed the crests to monopolize manala crystal mining and focused on only valuable minerals and metals, although as they became increasingly hard to find he was forced to turn his efforts into creating artifical valuable metals by changing the laboratories from just theoretical applications to physical products which lead way to the creation of cold fusion chambers, and electron generators. This idea proved to be a great success and allowed him to continue running Sampo with a different goal in mind then mining metals, which is the creation of artificial manala crystals. Due to the fact that this would put the crests nearly out of business, or it could help them expand as the source of the crystals depleted such as the valuable metals, given whichever way he decided to take his findings should he ever complete them. He has kept his intentions as well as his research a secret from everyone, including the few people who’ve become close to him.
