Appearance
A handsome, athletically built young man, clad in stylish Red Mage clothes.He has very pretty features, and wears his clothes loosely and fashionably. At his neck he wears his mother's jewel ornament, and at his waist is her Dancing Dagger. He carries his swords at his belt and his back at all times, usually covering them up with the cape if he needs to.
Personality
Good hearted young man but prone to brooding about his parentage (specifically, his father), and a little guilt-ridden due to his past as a Dark Knight. Tends to get swept up in the prospect of adventure and action in his life and ignore his troubles when he can use his abilities for enjoyment or the cause of Light. Quick-witted and confident otherwise, and defensive of his friends. In the presence of beautiful women, tends to get flirty and more boastful.
Background
Drake was born of the union of Rydia of Mist and a father who's shrouded in mystery, while she was whisked off to another world. She found
out she was pregnant when she traveled back home, and took the child to the Feymarch to help raise him among her friends. Surrounded by
the Eidolons, Drake learned all he needed to know, and soon started to want to adventure outside this odd realm.
To become an adventurer, Drake started learning the Dark Blade from his mother's Eidolon, Odin, who used to be King Baron and a Dark
Knight himself, the man who had trained King Cecil into the Dark Knight he was as a Captain of the Red Wings. To do that, he had to prove
himself and help retrieve the Eidolons not affiliated with the Feymarch to him. Drake took exceptionally easily to the Dark Blade, which was a
little confusing for the other Eidolons, but it set him on the path to what was really in his mind: Adventure.
This encouraged him to try to change his ways and learn the ultimate White Magic Spell, Ultima. A Spell known to be used only by the King
and Queen of Baron, together.. this became his new goal. He had no access to Mount Ordeals, so he had to change his own focus from Dark
Knight to learn White Magic and try to build himself into a Red Mage, as the first step towards his new career.

Special Abilities
Dark Knight
Drake was formerly a Dark Knight, having a natural affinity to the Dark Sword, and becoming incredibly skilled with different types of blades and weapons. As such, Drake has become very used to wearing heavy armor and physical combat. He abandoned the Dark Sword when he chose to make a more positive and less destructive life for himself, but much of his fighting skills have been imparted by the experts from Baron. Being a Dark Knight is also when he began learning Black Magic.
Red Knight
On his way to becoming a Twilight Knight, Drake has become like a Red Mage. When he started studying White Magic, Drake has mixed his spells and sword techniques into a hybrid style like the Red Mage's, and has been trying to master this job's ultimate skill, Dual Casting. However, he isn't quite there yet.
As a Red Knight, Drake can use Black and White Magic, and he has been trained to use all types of swords. Drake has been mostly focusing on his White Magic spells, and has been content to keep with his Dark Knight spells as Black Magic.
Black Magic
Offensive magic. Drake had focused on these spells while still a Dark Knight, and has increased his use of them since becoming a Red Knight, focusing on them as much as his blade.
- Aero, Aera: Basic and Intermediate Wind elemental spells.
- Blizzard, Blizzara: Basic and Intermediate Ice elemental spells.
- Thunder, Thundara: Basic and Intermediate Thunder elemental spells.
- Poison: A corrosive, toxic energy strikes his foes and leaves them weakened for a longer time.
- Drain: Drawing the life force from his opponent back into himself.
White Magic
Restorative and protective magic. This is what Drake has focused on when he became a Red Mage.
- Cure, Cura: Basic and intermediate healing spell.
- Protect: Creates a magical barrier to defend against physical damage.
- Shell: Creates a magical barrier to defend against magical damage.
- Libra: Allows Drake to learn the secrets and weaknesses of an opponent.
- Haste: Doubles the speed of the person the spell is cast on. Single Target Only.
- Esuna: Dispels all negative Status Effects.
- Dispel: Removes magical protection, spells, and curses.
- Blink: Creates multiple copies of the target, making them ridiculously hard to hit, as enemies will attack the copies. Single Target Only.
Twin Cast
Casting spells alongside another partner, with both of them pooling their mana reserves to summon forth a much greater magical attack than they otherwise would be able to accomplish alone.
- Ultima - With Cordelia Harvey: The ultimate attack spell. Ultima bypasses any and all magical defenses, and targets a massive area, causing a purifying magical explosion that ignores protective spells and items, delivering nearly infinite damage to the target. (Read as: does 9999 damage because Ultima).
- ???? - With Cicero:
Limit Breaks
Being a former Dark Knight, Drake has powerful limit breaks available to him if he nears death in battle. These are mostly physical based and make full use of his powers and skills as a warrior and a Red Mage.
Godpseed Crush: Drake calls upon his former skills as a Dark Knight, and then stabs into the ground with the Muramasa, forming a magical dark blade from under his target and impaling them with dark energy, causing massive spiritual damage and locking them in place as Drake blurs forwards with a Stinger and slashes then for multiple hits, with a Million Stab, then releases them.
Swashbuckling Slash: A more Red Mage inspired Limit Break, Drake draws the Crimson Blade, kisses the blade, tosses his hat into the air, then rushes forwards in a sudden burst of speed, slashing many times upon impact, rapier-style, then flickers past the target and flicks the blood off and sheathes the sword as the hat lands back on his head, at the exact same time.
Rogues of the Feymarch: Drake calls forth on his Summoner blood to call forth the Lesser Eidolons. Mindflayer appears and stuns all enemies facing Drake, then Cockatrice appears to petrify them, before Bomb self-destructs to hit all of them for Fire-type damage, before Goblin appears and Punches all targets. (The Petrify status is not applied to them, it just locks them in place for the rest of the Limit Break).
Powers & Merits
Cambion
Drake is in fact, the son of the Legendary Dark Knight Dante. He is a quarter devil, and due to this, has always had a hard time with the Holy element. However, being born of a powerful warrior and devil has given Drake several advantages.
Dark Affinity: Due to his parentage, Drake is attuned to the Dark element. This enhanced all of his Dark Blade abilities and techniques. If Drake were to use Dark swords, their damage would be considerably enhanced. Furthermore, if Drake could learn a Black Magic spell which uses actual Darkness or Shadow Elemental damage, its damage would also be considerably higher than expected.
Extraordinary Physical Abilities Due to his parentage, Drake is almost superhumanly STRONG. He's exceptionally healthy, never gets sick, and is extraordinarily resilient, agile and strong, even back when he was just a boy. Several suspicions of who or what his father may be have arisen from this., but it's been proven to be because of Dante being his father. He could unlock more of his demonic potential and power, if he had a part of his parentage to carry with him, such as a Devil Arm, or the like. This allows Drake to fight as strongly and fiercely as a Dark Knight or a Paladin, even as a Red Mage, thus the title of Red Knight.
Merits
Gall: (2pts) Drake does not hold his tongue well, but has a strong and dashing presence.
Danger Sense: (3pts) Drake is never caught off guard.
Clear Sighted: (3pts) Drake's natural tuning to Eidolons and sharp senses keep him from falling into illusions and traps.
Animal Magnetism: (1pt) Drake is just naturally striking which helps with his swashbuckling demeanor.
Concentration: (1pt) Drake is very hard to distract, which lets him focus and cast spells even when dodging around.
Unique Items
Deathbringer: A Dark Blade, the Deathbringer is one of the more powerful Dark Knight Swords, discarded on Mount Ordeals by the former
Dark Knight, Cecil. Drake traveled to the top of the mountain once, and upon coming back down had picked up the Deathbringer. Drake no
longer uses his weapon outside of his Limit Break, but he hasn't had a chance to give it back to either of it's owners.
Muramasa: An exceptionally powerful katana, of the same make as the Masamune and Murasame, which increases the wielder's speed and
agility, and has exceptional reach. Drake uses this in his right hand.
Crimson Blade: A well made rapier which increases the wielder's magic power and mana reserves. Made specifically for Red Mages, this
sword was sought out by Drake when he moved away from being a Dark Knight. While there are more powerful weapons out there, Drake
hasn't found any of them and this suits him just fine. He uses this in his left hand.
Items Of Note
Mother's Ornament: Rydia's head ornament, a memento of his mother, kept as a pendant. It has special significance to him but that's it.
Armour: Crimson Vest, Feathered Hat
Accessory: Elven Mantle.
Weapons: Crimson Blade, Muramasa, Deathbringer.
Weaknesses & Flaws
Dark Affinity: Light or Holy aligned attacks cause extra damage to Drake, for reasons he's not sure of, and bother him.
Ulterior Motive - Ultima: (2pts) Drake wants to learn Ultima, and if he finds a way to get the spell, he'll start wanting to find a way to learn it.
Curiousity - Father: (2pts) Drake wants to meet his father, whom he suspects is Golbez. He's wrong.
Overconfident: (1pt) Drake is very much aware of his natural skills and is a show off, which can cost him. He's developped this recently.
NPC(s) to go with char
Goblin, Mindflayer, Cockatrice and Bomb, sort of.
