PERSONALITY
Cocky and laid back, Kailex is an easily approachable man despite his race. For the most part, he can be seen lurking in either the mess hall, chugging down as many cool tankards of milk he can get his hands on, or in the arena either polishing his two favorite weapons (which he named Askel and Raize) or in a friendly sparring match. Despite his past military training and lifestyle he does not give off the air of being elite or aloof to those who have never before touched a weapon. Instead, he enjoys showing off with his prowess in wielding his axes and in most cases will start immediately going into a rather long winded (and very jovial) rant about how he came to find his two "treasures".

Though as mentioned before, he is cocky, it is not in the general sense when around women. He is very sure of himself in battle and will often belay his pride in the general swagger of his walk, or the way he holds himself in a spar. When very drunk he will also boast of his ability long and loud, but when sober he prefers to keep his trap shut about his personal view on his own ability with his axes. Women confuse and to an extent frighten Kailex with their feminine mystique and often coy mannerisms. He is horrible at understanding subtle flirting and often thinks the woman doing said flirting is falling ill or has had too much to drink. The very idea of a woman coming up to him finding him fascinating is entirely foreign to him.

Generally speaking Kailex is very slow to anger, keeping all the things that upset him bottled up inside till he can no longer deal with the huge amount of ire building up behind his usually cheerful facade. When he loses his temper it is a very slow seething anger which erases all traces of his usual smile completely off his features and leaves in its place the dark brooding look of a man intent on murder. In times such as these, he calms himself by sharpening all of his blades and furiously polishing all his armor to a dull sheen.

Kailex can not abide the smallest speck of dust or grime on his person and should he find any will furiously polish whatever it was that has been mused immediately. He can not stand things that are not orderly and all in their right places and quite often finds himself cleaning a room that is not his own simply because of the extreme amount of annoyance it causes him. In battle, he finds that when enemies bleed on him he is appalled and slightly angered that all his efforts to remain pristine have gone to waste. His extreme neat freak tendencies stemmed from his time under the military's employ and have grown since he left.


HISTORY
Kilex was born to his parents very late in their age (to the surprise of both parents) and was the apple of his fathers eye. Both parents were rooted into the military and at home they ran their abode as if it were a training camp, constantly setting challenges and testing their growing boy. At the time he was able to wield a weapon his father took him to his study (really more like an armoury) and together they looked through his vast collections of weapons and chose a weapon that appealed to Kailex. He selected an axe and in the years that followed he trained with his father until he firmly grasped the basics. After he had mastered the basics with a single axe his father trained him with many other weapons to round his ability out should he ever lose his weapon in battle.

At the age of 22 he was finally able to join the military and took to it like a cat to cream. He loved the rigid discipline and the sense of pride he got from serving his people and as each the year passed by he honed his ability with his weapons more and more. Nearing the end of his required years of service he dabbled slightly in military strategy and quickly rose in rank (Sgan Aluf). His parents were incredibly proud when after his 3 years of required service he signed up for 5 more years of active duty pursuing a higher rank in the military ladder.

During the next 5 years of his service Kilex was moved from the home base of Filela to the outer fringes of the territory, constantly traveling around with his battalion fighting off the humans that threatened to spill into their home base. After several long years of bloody skirmishes over land that was quickly being over-run, Kailex wearied of his military life style. Seeing comrades he had grown up with die over land while having children was so difficult set him into a rage and severely destroyed his once glorified views of his profession. He could not understand why an ailing race would fight so hard to protect land to the brink of their own extinction. With no living Ejderha the land would be taken over anyways; one way or another the humans were quickly taking more of their land and at the same time causing the numbers of Ejderha to dwindle.

To the dismay of his parents, Kailex left the army at the end of his 5 years and left Filela to escape the frequent news of the death toll. Fleeing to the trade city of Liram, he sold his fighting services to the traveling merchants that roamed up and down the shore of the Ledojia River.

For 2 years he would travel up and down the river acting as a guard from bandits and brigands for the many weapons dealers that frequented Liram. Each merchant he brought successfully to the city let him choose one of their weapons as payment for his service, creating (after a while) quite an extensive collection of blades that Kailex owned and carried on his person.


HOBBIES
Of all the many things Kailex likes, his absolute favorite thing to do when not otherwise occupied is search the weapons shops and stalls to find a new blade to add to his collection. Generally he prefers long curved blades, sharp unique shaped axes, and heavy pole arms to any of the other weapons he may see. He takes pride in naming each and every one of his weapons as he gains them and lovingly polishes and sharpens them often to keep then in perfect condition. Though he only takes his 2 choice axes into battle he trains with each weapon, often talking to the bit of metal as he trains.

Many of Kailex closest companions fail to ever see his second favorite pastime; painting. In his spare time in the privacy of his room he enjoys painting to express things he has trouble saying. Often the subjects of his paintings are people he admires and their weapons and though others never actually see his art, he displays them proudly all along his wall.
