The bio of Richan AKA Paladin, an original superhero of mine in a setting Im planning called Tremor City


Name: Richan "Paladin" Richanson

Species: Orange Dragon

Abilities: Muscular body augmented via regally-designed powersuit along with a very common use of Energy-based Weaponry.

Bio: Richan Richanson is one of the many, many sucessors of the fanatical warrior Paladin and the second Paladin to not posess any magical ability. The legacy of Paladin dates back to the middle ages wherein a suit was forged to house the most zealous and powerful holy warrior of that time period.

However, due to a mishap the warrior lost his suit and it fell into the hands of a madman who believed God spoke to him. "God" told him that he hated what the church has lowered itself to, telling him to tear down the current establishment and build anew. Heeding the voice in his head, the new, second paladin went on a campaign against the church despite his own regal appearence and holy powers; He went as far as to aid Islam during the siege of Istanbul.

Since then the suit has traded many hands, the most notable hand-me-downs include a woman during the renaissance period, a slave in the colonial era and even a space pirate during the 90s. It wasnt until the global magic drain that the suit was completely and utterly destroyed.

The Paladin of the time; A skilled robotiscist and a military weapons designer, didnt let the suits destruction hamper him and felt obligated to build a suit of Paladin armor fit for this new, magic-less era. And build it he did. Sure it didnt have any of the abilities of the original suit of armor but it was going to serve its purpose.

The Paladin kept using this new armor until his death of natural causes circa 2049 when it was left to his son. His descendant wore the suit proudly until an even battle left his nemesis deceased and him mortally wounded. With dying breath and blood oozing from his brutally mangled head he grabbed onto the leg of a passing orange dragon that, seeing the hero wounded, rushed to his aid. As his last words the critically injured man told the dragon, named Richan to have his suit. Richan agreed to honor his request and that is where our story begins.
