Acheron
22
Acheron the Deathdragon is an ancient being of his kind and one of the most powerful and terrifying of his kind. Known for generating crinson lightning and possessing incredible, his most dreaded ability is to unleash a breath of corrosive gas that, upon contact, could dissolve walls, buildings, and metal, and cause anyone caught within said breath to scream in agony as their body withers and they rapidly decay to a horrible, gruesome death. He was also a participant of a viciously bloody war that saw hundreds of thousands of beings as casualties.
Despite his horrifying reputation, Acheron, despite his gruff, standoffish attitude, isn't evil or malicious, but rather a tired and worn off dragon who has become tired of war, conflict, and being hated by civilization, choosing to seclude himself from everyone, dragons included. He hates his powers and has vowed never to use them again and lives in a closed off section of a giant forest, overseeing a solitary small gravestone that he protects with utmost ferocity. The grave, covered in a field of wonderful flowers, is that of a human child whom Acheron knew and was friends with several hundred years ago. Acheron has a tragic past, explaining his cynical attitude, and his confrontational, seemingly angey personality is a front to cover the sadness he holds underneath.
