Character
Alain Velcross is a 22-year old human scholar and was born to a large, affluent family in the Mareven Confederacy. Unlike his siblings, he was less interested in the value of something, and more in understanding it. While Alain was treated as an outcast, his parents tried their best to support him, in their own way, by providing him with the best tutors, books, and equipment money could afford. Alain was practically ignored by his siblings, who would rather learn trade and business practices. Alain has an insatiable curiosity that has gotten him into trouble and danger on many occasions, yet he is extraordinarily lucky. Due to the Mareven Confederacy’s focus on trade and profits, there is not much interest in a scholar like Alain. Thanks both due to his natural talent and curiosity, and a generous donation from his family, Alain was accepted at a prestigious college in the Drakmoor Empire. However, due to his foreign nationality and the external perception that Alain only got the post due to his family’s money, he was yet again treated like an outcast. Accordingly, Alain was not allowed to work on the portal to Drakonia.

Even the senior scholars at the university gave him little more than busy work as they whispered about how he only got the post due to his family’s donation. Today, in a few short minutes, Alain would be leaving the life he knew behind to start anew in Drakonia, no, New Tyreale. Their old nations, families, everything except who they were as a person would be left behind as the expedition’s members worked together to establish a new settlement, everyone contributing to their survival. Those last few minutes stretched for what felt like eternity, watching row after row of other expedition members enter the portal. Lacking combat experience, Alain was in the rear of the formation, among the last of the expedition to go through. Finally, holding his breath, he stepped through. Blinding light and indescribable sensations overwhelmed his thoughts, until they suddenly stopped. All was quiet and calm as Alain nearly lost his footing. After a few seconds, once his eyes recovered, he opened them and looked around, laying his eyes upon Drakonia for the first time. Exotic, vibrant plants greeted them in a scattering of colors. Unimaginable wildlife stretched out before; towering dinosaurs with necks that m…
