Family:
Direct Relatives: Several siblings, whereabouts currently unknown. Parents (adoptive and birth) all deceased.
MSF Adoptive Family: None.
Weapons:
Gaheris' Katana: A nondescript katana of high craftsman's quality, Gaheris uses this as his main weapon. It has no innate magical abilities, but is still relatively sharp. It can be imbued with electrical or void energy if needed, but repeated usage of that skill requires the sword be repaired.
Himself: Being a silver dragon, Gaheris has the ability to manipulate his body's makeup into that of pure silver. He can morph his arms or hands into blades, and perform many other alterations to his physical form. He is also skilled in a martial art known as the Art of the Water Dragon, which involves a variety of different means of disabling opponents.
Profession:
Gaheris is a Jumper, a being who traverses dimensions using self-created portals. He is generally simply looking for something to occupy his time, but will take some mercenary jobs, provided they fit his moral standards.
Skills:
Combat: He has mastered several forms of armed and unarmed combat, despite the fact that he does not like to fight unless he has to. His weapons of choice are his fists and his katana. Gaheris was trained in the usage of a halberd as a child, but his adoptive father's treasured polearm was destroyed in battle and he swore off ever using one again unless circumstances required he take it up once more. He is trained in a martial art that he aided in the creation of known as the Art of the Water Dragon, and holds a high place in the school's heirarchy. When disarmed, Gaheris often uses a variety of Water Dragon techniques.
Technology: He is incredibly skilled with building and repairing machinery, but cannot drive or pilot any sort of vehicles. The reason for this is unknown, as Gaheris refuses to speak on it.
Magic: In the magical realm, Gaheris is very skilled at controlling llightning, his innate element, and can in fact channel lightning into his body to replenish energy, although magical energy is harder for him to absorb. He is also incredibly knowledgeable in the field of dimensional magics, being able to create portals, scry dimensions for familiar astral signatures, and several other things. Other elements and schools of magic either do not interest him, or he has not been presented with the opportunity to study them yet. He has expressed some interest in studying transformative magic, but exhibits no drive to actually learn it.
Personality:
Gaheris is generally warm-spirited and polite, most of the time acting exactly as he appears, a 25-year-old man who's seen his fair share of atrocities in the world. However, beneath that facade dwells a much older and more experienced being who tries to hide his knowledge from the world in fear that it might someday be misused. Being a dragon, Gaheris rarely lies, and in the situation that he may have to lie, he often ends up masking the truth with riddles or unclear wording as opposed to out and out lying. He also has a tendency to speak his mind without thinking it over completely, often leading to some uncomfortable or awkward situations. Gaheris does not discriminate by race, sharing a generally neutral opinion on almost all species, although he aims slightly towards dislike of demons, accepting the fact that while some demons can be perfectly civil and good, most tend to be evil, and thus get in his way. Gaheris is strongly moral, and refuses to partake in any actions that may harm innocents. He will kill if he has to, but convincing him that it is the correct choice of action is a very daunting task. Finally, Gaheris is very easily bored, viewing stagnation as a bane and he will often do anything he can to avoid it.
-Addendum A: Gender-
Gaheris, due to a curse given to him by a demon god several years ago, has an unstable gender. A trigger placed in his mind, when activated, will cause him to become female. In this manner, it can also be used to change him back to his male form. When in female form, Gaheris' personality remains unchanged, but he loses roughly a foot of height, and he slims down considerably. The change also results in accelerated hair growth, much to Gaheris' dismay. The trigger cannot normally be activated by anyone but Gaheris himself, but skilled mental mages, telepaths, and spirit wielders can also reach it. Gaheris has grown tolerant of this curse, provided he initiates the changes himself, and has learned how to act convincingly feminine if the need arises, although he will oftain complain afterwards.
