Endoru is a rare type of monster, he is a dragon with human form who entered monsterhood after reincarnating due to successfully completing the Merge of Souls ritual performed with his sworn sister: The Primal Dragon of Chaos, Vanheda Shadowstorm. Endoru was born in the far outer lands of Kylorne, and has explored the main continents as he was growing up; nowadays he lives in the northwest continent as a nation leader, diplomat and adventurer alongside his companions and followers.

Appearance
In spite of the fact that Endoru is a draconic monster, he’s almost identical to humans; his body is subjected to certain changes due to the nature of his species, but most of the time he’s just a humanoid with a vast majority of human-like characteristics, including a pale-toned skin and a somewhat athletic body of slim build; he’s considered small in comparison to the average person due to his short height and light weight. Endoru is a being of great beauty who appears to be younger than what he really is, mostly due to his small body and cute face with well-defined fine features; he has messy straight hair, reaching mid-back length, it used to be of a dark color but then turned permanently into a white color, his hair would be mostly left down, but sometimes he chooses to tie it up in different styles; he has four small but sharp fangs, replacing normal canine teeth; his eyes are of a certain rarity as well, small with dark-amber pupils that are usually round-shaped but can adopt a slightly slanted vertical slit, the irises have a contrasting bright golden color, his eyes as a whole are said to glow as a result of the overwhelming amount of mana that flows within his body, which sometimes can cause a sharp intimidating look.

Regarding clothing, Endoru is often seem using a great variety of clothes of different styles, he states that his favorite type of clothes are the ones that are simple and light so that they don’t restrain his movements; when acting as the leader of the Ivory Order, he uses a dark adventurer-style coat with protective guards on his shoulders, below his coat he wears a simple dark-blue shirt of long sleeves, followed by a belt where he keeps most of his adventurer equipment and useful items, then some dark-blue loose pants with its ends tucked inside his black leather-hardened boots. It is also known that he greatly enjoys wearing clothing that some could find “cute” or “femenine”, although Endoru hasn’t admitted it.

Dragon traits
One of his most notable features is the ability of partial metamorphosis in different parts of his body, assembling his "true monster form"; Endoru is capable of selectively transform through a very precise manipulation of his own mana, the changes are mostly present in his main limbs: He assembles the look of dragon limbs by growing black scales all over his arms and legs, with small sharpened claws at the end of his fingers, he also grows a bit more muscle mass underneath but only in his transformed limbs; Endoru’s scales are extremely hard and durable, as the attacks of most metal blades are unable to pierce through or even leave any marks on them, they are also capable of withstanding a great amount of force, and like his normal skin they’re also able to endure extreme high and low temperatures without being damaged at all. Endoru can also manifest extra limbs in form of dark-colored wings that grow out of his upper-back section, the wings are rather big compared to his body, being 2 meters long; they are better described as bat-like wings with some sharp ends that look like some sort of fangs coming out of the bone, identical to a dragon’s wings but way smaller in size. One of Endoru's true form most remarkable features are the two black horns that grow out of the sides of his head, made out of dark ivory which give him a more "monstrous" look, alongside a more pale skin all over his body and a more intense sparkle in his golden eyes which slits become totally vertical like a dragon's.

Endoru’s body has a great recovering capacity due to his innate regeneration skill, being able to heal wounds and even regenerate lost limbs almost instantly, that being the reason why he lacks any marks or scars on his body; also explaining how he can transform his body so quickly, from being entirely humanoid to having dragon’s features and vice versa.

Personality
Endoru has a picturesque personality and is said to be a kind person by those who follow him, someone who is easy to approach and to talk to, he is always willing to interact and get involved with his followers, and will try to be friendly at first with most people. Yet, due to his kindness, he’s also very naive sometimes, a somewhat deleterious trait that got him into dangerous situations as he expects people to treat him the same way he treats them.

When in combat, Endoru does not look down to his opponent as he wants to prevent himself from underestimating dangerous situations; yet, he has a brave heart and appears to lack of any fear when fighting, that is so because of the confidence he has in his power and skills, he rather focuses all of his mind and attention on the encounter itself; most of the time he would try to not show all his moves, but rather study his rival while using as little effort as possible in order to make a battle-plan that secures victory.

Endoru’s emotions work differently than a human’s due to his “heart”; since his soul has merged and is combined to a dragon’s, he lacks certain human emotions such as fear of death and regret of killing; this characteristic allows him to commit acts of violence and be fearless in desperate situations or in dangerous environments; yet, this doesn’t means he’s unable to feel fear or regret, it is just way more rare for him to experience them, as such emotions might need stronger triggers like events that are meaningful to him. Although Endoru has a great amount of patience, he struggles a lot to calm down and control himself when angered, his lack of regret and other human emotions can make him really dangerous; he doesn’t have a mere increase in raw violence, but instead he acts with callousness and becomes more radical and merciless, being this the reason of why he’s ascribed to be rather just a monster than a human by those who are against him.

Mental aspect
Endoru’s mind is a strange combination of a open young mind and a mature leader; he’s described as a laid back individual, who will often choose not to complicate himself and rather chooses to be direct and simple when interacting with others or when dealing with minor troubles, but he is also capable of being diligent and patient when needed or when he’s leading his people.

Although he lacks leadership experience, Endoru has proven to be a natural leader with an innate ability, he was capable of founding the Ivory Order and gain the loyalty and respect of each member through empathy and understanding; but he has a flaw, that being his anxiousness regarding his duties and surroundings, something that makes him try to be on alert at all times in order to avoid danger, troublesome events and unnecessary conflict. He is also incredibly humble as a leader, he sees his followers as equals and genuinely cares about them and their well-being; yet, this also that somehow applies to everyone else as well, he doesn’t look down on anyone that he encounters randomly, but he also doesn’t look up to them either neither does he give people special treatment even if they are nobility or royalty, the only time where he interacts expressing more respect to people he just met is during political/diplomatic meetings or special events.

Despite of him trying to avoid conflict and his preference for finding diplomatic solutions, he’s not afraid to wage war or even engage in a fight when necessary, he won’t hesitate to make hard decisions in order to ensure the safety of his people and his own; although he has a caring and kind side, he shows no doubts when getting rid of an immediate threat to him or his followers, even if it means ending a life, instead he would just “casually” do it and wouldn’t have any regrets or psychological aftermaths.

Although having to go through difficult times in his young life, Endoru is a person that have decided to keep moving forward in order to accomplish his goals and to protect those he cares about, he is always positive around his friends and followers, smiling most of the time as he wants to live in peace with his people.

Ideals and beliefs
Endoru’s ideals are clear and straight-forward in most aspects. He has suffered discrimination from a lot of civilized races and people overall; he has been kicked out of towns and even hunted down, all because of him now being catalogued as a monster instead of a human; that is why he thinks that everyone should be treated equally, no matter what their race is, what culture they are from nor which religion they follow; Endoru believes that every single person deserves respect and has the right to live, unless they try to violate someone else’s rights, that’s why he can’t stand people that discriminate others or have superiority complex.

As a leader, Endoru’s priority is to listen to his people’s voice and wishes, but he also believes that a leader should be willing to make hard decisions when needed, and remain firm when his followers need a leader figure; he thinks that the optimal way to achieve this is through a monarchy with some features of democracy.

Religion-wise, Endoru has chosen to not worship any deities, he does believe in their existence, but he just does not want to vow to any religions; instead, he would often make deals with the Spirits of Kylorne and give them offerings, even establishing friendship with them as he seems to have a great connection with elemental spirits and demons due to his own nature.

Endoru’s moral regarding life is rather simple, he believes that every intelligent lifeform is responsible for their life’s value, being their acts what makes them worth more or less; as he have stated before, he wouldn’t have any problem in killing someone that is worthless to him, especially if that means getting rid of a threat to his people or of an obstacle that goes against his ideals.

Goals
Endoru’s main goal is to accomplish his dream: To create a successful nation where everyone can live in harmony, where society lacks of conflicts caused by reasons he believes to be stupid (disloyalty, xenophobia among cultures, racism, and other forms of discrimination) and where order and peace are absolute; he also aims to lead the Ivory Order into becoming one of the most influential organisations in Kylorne.

He wishes to have a better understanding of his own existence as a whole, in order to find out any possible ways to help his people with his power while “evolving as a monster”, Endoru also seeks for any available information regarding the dragon species.

Most importantly, he wishes to do “whatever he wants, however he wants” alongside his friends, allowing them to live in peace in a land to call home. After founding the Crown of Elysium, Endoru’s main goal was to protect it from any dangers and to face every threat his home could come across.
