PERSONALITY:

• Upon meeting Dragan, what first stands out is his outgoing and easy personality. He doesn't know a stranger, and seems to have a knack for humor. Beyond that, it quickly becomes obvious that he truly lives to the code of chivalry, as knights should. He is brave, courteous, honorable, and gallant towards women.
• Those who know Dragan a little better are well-acquainted with his flaws. He is a hopeless optimist, making him naive--frustratingly so. It can be hard for him to understand any motive that does not align with his own, and he can easily grow frustrated. While he is not prone to outbursts of anger, he tends towards impatience.
• The heart of Dragan, that thing which no one sees, is filled with confusion. He is driven in life by a need to find a great purpose for his existence, a purpose outside of himself, grand enough to be something that sets his name in books. He seeks glory, not for the fame, but for the sense of accomplishment.

MAGIC: Currently unknown to Dragan, his gramarye gift is the ability to manipulate metal. This is a magic that in enacted at will; Dragan uses it in swordsmanship, not to do anything as drastic as pulling weapons from the hands of their wielders, but in subtle ways, such as shifting his opponents swords by fractions of inches to make them miss their mark or to make parrying easier. He doesn't know he does it, he simply knows that he is an exceptional swordfighter, and that when he focuses on an exchange, he almost always comes out of it the victor.

MARITAL STATUS: Engaged to Elyscia Demarais , according to the late King Edward of Tresteria
FAMILY MEMBERS:

• Parents: Zorin Falco [Father, Deceased] | Cressida Falco, formerly Le'Orin [Mother, Alive]
• Siblings: Lance [33] | Arian [32, Deceased] | Kadet [30]
• Extended:King Allarick (Uncle) | Cera Le'Orin (Cousin)[/li

HISTORY:

• Dragan is the fourth and final child of Zorin and Cressida. Cressida is the older sister of the king of Teronna, making Dragan and his brothers sons of a princess. She married Zorin at her father's bidding, because the man was the most decorated Captain in the Teronna army at the time, and loyal to a fault to the monarch
• The boys were all raised to be like their father: men of the sword, knights of the kingdom. All four took to it well enough on the outside, though Arian and Dragan were exceptional. Both were inducted into The Knights of the Order by the time they were twenty and after having showed great capability in battle.
• Dragan has never personally engaged in this active hate against mystics that his uncle has. His family has remained loyal through it all, of course, but the boys were raised to be kind to everyone and to protect the weak, whether they possess a gramarye or not. Their father, however, has killed many with magic.
• When Teronna joined in with the battle to beat the Order back from Aralore, Zorin and his sons were among the great alliance that liberated the kingdom. Unfortunately, Zorin died in battle. Dragan developed a relationship with the King of Terestria. His swordsmanship set his apart on the field. Edward invited him back to his kingdom, and, wishing to escape the pain of losing his father, Dragan went with him.
• Dragan has been living in Terestria for the last year and a half. The King asked him to serve as a royal guard, unaware (or uncaring) of Dragan's state as a minor member of the royal family in Teronna. Perhaps out of boredom, or because he thought it might lead to something larger for him, Dragan accepted. Not long after, Edward arranged for Dragan to be married to his cousin. It was not a relationship that Dragan pursued beyond meeting her to make introductions.
• About two months ago, Dragan received communication that his beloved brother, Arian, was killed. He hurried home for this reason, and has only recently returned to Terestria.
