You may now begin posting! As well as that, we have a new character joining the fray... He will be joining the Dragons and the Kingdom of the Sea characters at their location.
Age: 26
Allegiance: None (ex-Dragon, ex-knight of the mad king).
Position: Mercenary
Appearance: With deep, red hair and a fiery gaze, Mattis lives up to his surname. His hair is of medium length, framing his face well and easily recognisable from a distance. He is of tall stature, standing over six-foot tall, and well built through his many years of training and service. He wears a light, silver coloured armour with fur attachments, similar to Hex's natural colour. His weapon of choice is a long spear, which he usually wields two handed. Inspiration:

History: Mattis was born a boy of the Kingdom of Dragons. However, raised in a small village south of the royal palace, he was not fortunate enough to be given such a rare and expensive pokémon. Instead, he raised a hatchling Vulpix, the offspring of his parents fire pokémon. His upbringing was relatively quiet, he was schooled with the other children in the village and trained in most of the necessities - growing crops, caring for the pokémon, the important duties.
He dreamed of the day he would join the royal guard, the elite of the dragon warriors. The palace was just visible from the village hill, where he would spend his evening - waiting for a shooting star to make his wish. As he approached his 14th birthday, the youngest you could be to train with the guards, his excitement grew. Especially as on evening, out of the blue, his father proposed a trip to the capital. Mattis was overjoyed, rushing to grab all his things and managing to load up the cart before daylight faded, his young vulpix, Hex, rushing between his legs.
"Today's the day!" Or so he thought. On the journey there he fell in to slumber, curled up with his warm, fire pokémon. He awoke far from home, the cart trundling along a mountain path, the peak so high it was out of sight.
That day Mattis was sold in to slavery, shipped off to spend his life in the mountainside palaces of Lord Katashi. The lord was a powerful man, generous and kind to Mattis, but this kingdom was not his home and every day he was reminded of that. Mattis excelled in his extensive combat training, bringing both him and Hex further up the ranks of Lord Katashi's weapons. Soon enough he found himself as a fully fledged knight, sword loyal to the Mt. Silver throne.
His loyalty to Lord Katashi lasted for most of a decade, however with the recent motivations of world dominance Mattis' opinions on the king wavered. He found himself questioning the ways of his new kingdom, openly attempting to change the King's mind. As the shadows of the kingdom spread out, Mattis found himself dreading his own position - and soon found himself in danger from other, eager knights.
He was forced to flea from the mountains, where he finally saw the devastation that Lord Katashi had pushed. Destroyed villages, homeless children, the dead - both humans and pokémon a like. With that he vowed to restore his honor and help to bring down the false King, finding a true king to rule in his place.
Appearance: Hex's fur is duller than most ninetails', resembling dull copper rather than white-gold. The tips of her tails are much more pigmented, black tips of a few centimetres long.
