Gender: Male
Age: 32
Race: Hylian
Archetype: Assassin
Nationality: Hyrulean
Physical Description:
Personality:
Though he is an assassin by trade, Drake is not an evil or unmerciful man. He has a strong moral compass which leads him to protect the innocent at the expense of sinners. He considers what he does as a necessary evil, so that others do not have to stain their hands with blood. The Nomads taught him that death was not simply the end of life, for spirits past from the realm of the living to be with the Goddesses. Death was a release to some, but it would be imprisonment for others.
He is a solitary figure, not liking to involve himself with others due to the implications that are involved with his trade. Nor does he find 'love' a prospect he deserves to indulge himself in. He may often come across rude and cold, but its usually a means to keep others away for their own protection.
Family:
Drake was adopted from birth, his real parents are a mystery to him. Some speculate he was the bastard son of a rich lord, some even went as far as to say he was the former King's son, the brother of Daltus and Logain. There's been no evidence to suggest as such, but unlike other orphans or forgotten children, Drake did not find himself in the streets. He was entrusted a nomadic people in the north of Hyrule, where they trained the Assassin in techniques not found elsewhere in the land.
RP Update: Due to recent investigations and rumours, Drake has been told that his family yet lives. He was not born from a Lord who wished to keep him a secret, but a simple Sailor who could not afford to look after him. He has two brothers; Marik and Kane Arletham.
Magical Talents:
Despite being of Hylian blood, Drake is not proficient in magic. The nomads believed magic was something that protected life; stemming from the Goddesses themselves. Being trained to take life away, magic was deemed inappropriate.
Weapons and Talents:
Trained in the mountains north of Hyrule, Drake was mastered in various weapons and techniques. Though he was tutored in long swords, two-handed blades and axes, as well as spears and poles; these weapons were considered obsolete compared to two kodachis (small katanas).
He also carries a small device, manufactured within Termina, that fires small crossbow bolts. The device is attached to his right arm, while his left arm holds a five inch blade that springs out upon a strong exertion made by Drake's wrists (think Assassin's Creed).
Being a highly trained killer, Drake is gifted with acrobatics and the art of stalking.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Nomadic Caution: Drake is distrustful of 'outsiders', anyone who did not belong to the Nomadic Tribes. He has carried such mentalities with him on his journeys.
Assassin's Wit: Drake has become accustomed to thinking up strategic plans to get to his victims, or complete a mission.
Blunt Approach: Due to being an Assassin, he has become numb to grief and moral conscience. This is both a strength and weakness, as it makes him hardy in situations where its required, but it also causes him to neglect peoples attitudes and opinions. He can be seen as unemotional.
History:
Drake was born to an unknown couple. They were too young to be able to support the him during his growing years, so they agreed to give him up for adoption to a wandering woman. The woman was in fact part of a larger group of nomads who travelled the northern borders of Hyrule. Perhaps fate or fortune caused the wandering woman to travel down far enough to come across the babe, but either way it was a pinnacle moment in Drake's life. Throughout growing up, he was always made aware that he did not belong, by blood, to the nomad tribe. This did not cause him to be an alien within the group, he had a great many number of friends who he liked to associate himself with. Nomads drilled their teachings and philosophies into the boy's head. Magic was not prohibited, but it was looked down upon. Magic, to them, was an instrument that was overused and often used for the wrong reasons. It was a gift abused. Instead, everything was done manually. Ranged combat was achieved not through bolts of fire, but bolts of wood. Drake learned archery, swordplay and stealthy manoeuvres - skills that would pave his way to becoming an Assassin.
The Nomads were far from a righteous tribe. They were master thieves, excellent deceivers and playwrights of lies. Only a select few had the gift of becoming a culmination of all those traits, an Assassin. Drake showed promise, but only because of the magic that lay within his Hylian blood. He was keener than Humans, though not so keen as Sheikah, as he would come to find out. His master was a rogue Sheikah woman named Mona. She descended from a family who left the court of the King to persue a path of riches centuries ago. The family numbers dwindled, and the secrets of their trade was passed from one to another in more concentrated quantities. Finally, only Mona was left and joined the Nomads during her mid twenties. Now fifty, he was still as graceful as any teenager and just as fit. She taught he knowledge to a select few who showed promise, including Drake.
This way of life existed for a long time, until Drake was old enough to leave to create his own path in the world. Mona had taught him everything he would need, only experience would elevate him to a Master Assassin. Though still young, his early twenties, Drake moved south to the great Hyrulean capital, seeking to put his mettle to the test. Contracts were easy to come by, so long as you knew where to look. Using his own ingenuity and secrets passed to him by Mona, the young Hylian created two gadgets that would aid him in his endeavours, a retractable blade and a miniature crossbow that was attached to his wrist, hidden from sight. With both weapons, he would be able to kill without attracting attention.
His existence within the city grew for a number of months, until it came to a point where he became wanted for his crimes. Nobody knew he face, only a faint description of a shadowy figure at roughly the correct heigh Drake was. He took a hiatus for a year or two, spending the time training and allowing his reputation to cool off. However, such efforts were futile when he was caught assassinating a rich lord, famous for sponging his wealth by robbing his workers of a decent wage. Despite the efforts to kill off any witness, some evidence leaked out. A man with white hair and golden eyes. Needing time to cool his name once more, Drake turned south, wandering through the villages until he arrived in Termina, his reputation still very fresh.
