Username: Don't call me you-know-what
Name: Maximillias Verdagon Escalor III
Race: Green Dragon
Gender: Male
Text Color: As green as his scales.
Biography: The green dragons were always considered the weakest, looked down upon by the other dragons and even considered a mere nuisance by most dragonslayers. When a green dragon captured your princess, your kingdom lost status for not drawing a respectable color, like black or silver. Even purple was at least considered a sign you were trying. But green was just an embarrassment.
Then Escalor came along, and she was the most ferocious beast anyone had ever seen. She rampaged over thirteen kingdoms, fighting off not only their best knights, but also more than a few purples and blues who sought to move in on her territory. She was only vanquished by an alliance of thirteen knights from all the kingdoms, who had to fight her day and night for three weeks before she finally succumbed.
And that was not the end. For Escalor had laid an egg in each of the thirteen kingdoms, and each of her children begat a new lineage, upholding the honor of their great ancestor. And though none were quite as fearsome as the mighty Escalor, they were all legends in their own right, and as they banded together with other greens, the greens saw their stature rise.
Maximillias was the latest in the line of Verdagon, thirteenth child of Escalor, and he carried great expectations on his shoulders.
And he did not feel he could live up to them.
He was already a hundred and fifty, and he still hadn't developed the lungs to breathe fire. His wings were small, barely able to lift him off the ground. Even his claws were only strong enough to smash rock; they should have been sharp enough to tear through a knight's armor by now.
There was only one way Maximillias thought he could become a legend worthy of his line: if he were vanquished by a great hero in battle. Then, he knew, tales of his defeat would be greatly exaggerated as time went on, and whatever weakness he might show would be forgotten.
And so, Maximillias plotted to create the greatest hero the world had ever seen, so he could become his first conquest.
But before he could get started on that, he was summoned away to a battle.
Description: Maximillias is an immature green dragon, but rather weak as dragons go. His one and only goal is to be defeated in a memorable battle by a great hero, to leave his mark on history.
Fortunately, it seems someone else has picked out seven possible candidates for his vanquisher. Even better, his defeat will be so legendary as to transcend worlds. He just needs to make sure the fight looks good.
He would have no problem cooperating with someone, even his eventual destroyer, for the purposes of furthering this scheme. Maximillias is crafting a story here, after all, and anything that makes it better is worth doing, in his view.
On the other hand, if he thought someone was interfering with his intended storyline, he would have no qualms disposing of them. Preferably in a way that heightens his apparent menace.
Weapons and Abilities: Maximillias is about the size of a small house, and consequently possesses great strength. It's not that high compared to other dragons, even other greens, but it's nothing to sneeze at.
He should be able to breathe fire by now, but he seems to be a late bloomer in that regard. He can also fly, but only about six feet off the ground. Enough to be intimidating, but not much else.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
