Zahrak Damiq
Paladin, Oath of the Hearth-Flame
Zahrak Damiq
Species
Copper Dragonborn
Appearance
Zahrak is a broad-shouldered copper dragonborn with a long, low-slung head and small swept-back horns that resemble worn ship nails. His scales are warm brown copper, dulled at the elbows and bright along the ridges of his neck. His hands are unusually delicate for his size, with flattened black claws and fingertips permanently stained green from polishing brass, grinding herbs, and handling verdigris-covered relics. He moves with a careful, almost domestic precision, as if every doorway were a crowded kitchen. Within a minute of meeting him, most people notice that he constantly checks the small copper ring on his left thumb. The contradiction is that his armor is battered and battlefield-heavy, but he handles cups, children, and wounded strangers with astonishing gentleness.
“His voice is low, textured, and unexpectedly gentle for his size. He speaks slowly when offering comfort and in clipped, exact phrases when giving battlefield orders.”

Distinguishing Features
His fingertips are stained green from years of polishing copper and handling alchemical salts.
He constantly adjusts a copper prayer ring on his left thumb.
His lower jaw has a neat row of tiny silver studs, each one earned after successfully escorting a group of refugees through hostile territory.
He smells faintly of cardamom, lamp oil, and wet stone.
His tail has a slow, reassuring sway when calm, but becomes perfectly rigid when he senses betrayal.
Voice
“A resonant baritone with a soft rasp, like a bronze bell heard through rain”
Clothing
Dented scale mail beneath a sleeveless sand-colored surcoat, a blue-gray scarf wrapped twice around his neck, thick travel trousers, and soft leather boots reinforced with bronze plates. His belt carries cooking tools beside holy symbols, making him look equally prepared to tend a stewpot or face an ogre.
Body Language
He keeps his shoulders squared but his hands open, palms visible. When anxious, his thumb circles the copper prayer ring. When angry, he stops blinking and lowers his chin until his horns point directly at the person who offended him.
