Chess is an average height for a man like himself. He grew up in a working family so he has tanned skin, a well toned body and calloused hands. His hair is a dark, chocolate brown that hangs down in thick, medium locks. He has an adorable, genuine smile and he's rather easy on the eyes (which are ebony, by the way).

NOW WE'RE GETTING NOSY. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
Chester is an orphan. His mother died giving birth to her youngest of three sons, Chester. He has two older brothers, the oldest being Clarke Gallowsky, a married man who runs the family pub in Molavon, and the second oldest is Jason Gallowsky, who slipped down the criminal path when Chester was about ten and now runs with the big boys in the Black Market. Clarke has two children, twins, a boy and a girl named Avanderlay and Izzabella, who are about five years old. Chester's father, Chace Gallowsky, was one of the best Certo Riders Thivea had ever seen, and was killed in action. Rohx was Chace's dragon, and chose to be with Chester after his death. He's not married and has no children to speak of, but we'll just see what the future holds.
SOUNDS INTERESTING. OKAY. NOW, JUST TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR PAST.
Chace Gallowsky had always been a man of action. He was a good man with a kind heart and a strong sense of justice. He had grown up believing all creatures were equal, that you should love the cow you raise and thank them for their sacrifice when you killed them and ate their meat. So why should dragons be treated any different? Chace had grown up in Ethaia for most his life, and was a proud soldier even without a dragon. However his opinions greatly conflicted with that of the Overlord, so he renounced his position in the guard and left to Thivea where he could live freely and raise a family the way he believed correct. Some called him a deserter, others assumed he was just wounded in battle and could no longer serve, only Chace really knew or cared for his reasons for leaving.
Chace lived in Molavon for about three years before he met and fell madly in love with a young adventurer named Molly Berkiswoth. They went on several trips together, visiting elves and Fae in their territory, always willing to learn new things about their culture and way of life. Chace loved her even when her free spirit and need to live adventure every day put his life in danger. It was on one of these adventures that he met the dragon that would swear loyalty to him and become his closest friend, Rohx. Chace and Molly were scaling the cliff-side when they happened across an Amons Auro that was trapped in a cave, it's tail having been wounded from Black Marketers trying to bring him down. Of course the dragon wasn't about to let any more humans near it, so over the course of a week or two Molly and Chace would leave some small game at the mouth of the cave for the dragon to eat so he wouldn't starve.
It took a while, but finally the dragon trusted the couple enough to tell them his name, and what had happened to him. Over the next few months Chace and Molly would help the dragon back to health, gain his trust, and earn a lifetime friend. The dragon was just over thirty human years old, already very wise and battle hardened, having to fight for his life several times when Ethaian forces tried to capture him to make him a dragon for a rider. Chace understood the dragon more than Rohx had expected, and three years after their meeting with Molly expecting their first child, Rohx swore loyalty to Chace and became his dragon - not out of control, but out of friendship.
Chace and Rohx were inseparable, almost as if they were brothers both in blood and in arms. They joined the Certo So that they could help their country. Chace could have easily been the Captain of his team, and even though he was a great leader he turned down the promotion every time it was offered. He preferred being out on the front lines with his brothers in arms. Chace and Rohx continued fighting for Thivea for years, Molly opening a family pub in Molavon and settling down after their second child was born. It was only when the third son, Chester, was born did the family truly experience pain and loss. Molly's immune system had been weakened due to an early illness and she was very sick when she delivered, the baby almost didn't make it.
Molly died and Chester live, and despite the baby boy looking every bit like his mother with his dark, thick hair and black eyes, Chace was happy at least one of them made it through. He brought out the new baby to see his older brothers and Rohx when he was well enough to leave the nursery, and the first thing Chester did when he opened his eyes was reach up and grab onto Rohx' muzzle and pull a hair right from the mighty dragon's nose. Despite having a new baby brother, the second oldest child Jason blamed Chester for the death of their mother, and would grow up ignoring his littlest brother while the oldest, Clarke, would do his best to keep mischievous little Chester out of trouble while trying to live his own life.
Clarke took over the family pub, the Red Dragon's Brew, and soon found himself a wife to call his own. However Jason caused more trouble to the family, always getting caught stealing from booths and marketers, and by the time Chester was ten he vanished to live among the thieves of the Black Market. Chester and Jason haven't seen or heard from him since, even as their father tried desperately for two years to find his son. Three years after Jason vanished their home was attacked by Ethaian forces. Chester was taking swordplay classes at the time so that he could grow up to be big and strong like his father and then find his own dragon, but his intelligence and good will to help seemed to always push him towards the medical field. However he was his mother's son, in every way possible, and even though is father would have wanted him to live a peaceful life as a doctor the sense of adventure was overpowering in the boy.
In the attack the pub was burned to the ground, Clarke and his wife, Dahlia, barely managing to escape with their lives. Chace found them but to his horror discovered that his youngest son was missing. He took Rohx to the local training building where Chester would be learning to fight to discover it was burning to the ground and surrounded. Rohx and Chace fought to get to Chester, but somewhere in the heat of battle Chace was struck down, four enemy arrows piercing his chest, but he fought off as many as he could still to allow Rohx to get away and get to his son. It killed Rohx to watch his greatest friend fall in battle, but the time for grief would be later, he had to find and save Chester. A new fury was unleashed from the red Amons Auro as he slew all in his path until he found the small thirteen-year-old boy unconscious under a burning pillar. Rohx saved him and escaped as the invading forces were fought off.
Chester awoke weeks later in the Mystic's Ford in Tharcius, several burn wounds on his arms and right shoulder. When he found out what had happened the young boy blamed himself, feeling that he was responsible for both his parents deaths despite Clarke's and Dahlia's attempts to console him. Chester didn't speak the whole time he was healing in the hospital and barely spoke even after he was out. He only spoke to Rohx for the next few months while he trained to perfect his swordplay skills once more. He would never be able to properly grip a two handed sword again, so he instead honed his skills in shield and sword.
Chess told Rohx that he was free to return to his home in Isle Asis, but much to his surprise the old dragon told Chester that his home was with him, and like he had with his father, he swore loyalty to the young boy and became his dragon. Over the next few years Chester trained as hard as he could, both in the Academy and off in fields with just Rohx, joining the Rememdium team after his graduation so that he could serve in the medical field like his father had wanted, but also so he could help the people in a better way. Clarke and Dahlia rebult the family pub and renamed it Rohx' Flame after their family friend. They had two beautiful twins, Avanderlay and Izzabella, making Chester one very happy uncle.
He and Rohx have been in Rememdium for roughly four years, and make quite the pair. Chester with his good humor, witty attitude, and million watt lady-killer smile and Rohx with his dutiful, serious attitude and occasional dry sarcasm. They balance each other out evenly, even though some find it strange that a man of the Rememdium team has an Amons Auro for a dragon.
(Chester still doesn't believe that the first thing he did when he saw the dragon was pull out one of his nose hairs.)

TELL US ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT[/COLOR]
Despite being on the medical field, one must always be armed. Chester wears a medium weighted chainmail armor that both protects him but is also easy for him to move around in. He has a fair amount of training in all weaponry, but he's no weapons master. He is fair with a two-handed great-sword, okay with a bow and arrow (though it's not his strongest point), but his best area of expertise is with a shield and main hand sword. That way he can equally fight offensive and defensive. He always has a shield and a quiver of arrows on his back, two swords on each side, a bow on his lower back, and some daggers in his boots or gauntlets just in case. His Rememdium emblem shows on the chest piece of his armor as well as the front side of his shield.

I SEE. AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR HISTORY[/color]?
Rohx was born on Isle Asis, the home of the dragons. If you know him today, you might never guess that this old, serious dragon was once the trouble maker of his nest. Rohx would always bite his father's tail whenever his back was turned, steal even his brother's and sister's hoarded shiny things. He was an adorable little dragon, also the runt of his litter. Everything that a young dragon could do to cause trouble you can bet your marbles Rohx did it. Any-who, the life of a chick isn't all that amusing, basic burning things, hoarding, and repeating bad language.
Rohx quickly grew out of his runt size, and quickly became the largest of his nest. He was always a great beast of freedom and power, any who say him or those of his kind would surely bow to the magnificence of the great reptilian creature. He never really understood why humans acted the way they did, why they would attack each other, steal their land, kill the other all for what? Power? A title? Titles never meant much to dragons, but the elders were shown a great deal of respect. But dragons were powerful beings, and they didn't have kings or queens or anything ridiculous like that. They certainly wouldn't kill each other unless it was necissary to their survival! Which is why he was so curious about humans.
Rohx' curiousity often got the best of him and he would venture too close and end up frightening a group of people and end up flying away in a quick frenzy - though he did find it amusing at times. As his family spread out about the world and went their seperate ways he found himself favoring to live in Thivea himself. He liked flat lands most, but the occassional cave was much appreciated when it was heavily raining.
It was when he was seeking shelter during one of these storms that he was welcomed on a large docked ship to seek cover. The humans, for the most part, showed great hospitality, even offered him some gold and gems that he could take back to his own lair or nest. However, as soon as Rohx started to fall asleep the humans attempted to strap him down so that they could take him back for money to be trained by some human they called Riders. Rhox was furious and destroyed the ship, barely managing to escape with a harpoon in his tail.
He didn't get far, as the wound and the rain slowed him down. He crash landed into a cave in a rocky mountain where he yanked the harpoon from his flesh and lay, wounded, for several days. Not long later an adventuring couple found him. Of course after that encounter he wasn't going to trust them, even if they said they meant well. He kept the humans at bay, refusing to speak and only growling and blowing hot air if they tried to get close. He thought he frightened them away, but much to his surprise they brought him food every day. After a few weeks when he was well enough he decided to tell them his name, though kept cautious around them, and how he ended up wounded and in the condition they found him in.
The man, Chace, was very willing to help Rohx, and more surprising he understood whey the dragon didn't trust him. He didn't even want anything from him, but just to help him back to health. Rohx befriended the man Chace and his wife Molly, they became very close. He watched them grow, love, and raise a family. When Molly died giving birth to their third son Rohx' heart went out to Chace and hoped dearly that the baby had survived. He would hate to have to watch his greatest friend suffer through two losses. They had been through so much together, dragon and rider through love, friendship and trust, the family Chace raised was almost like Rohx' second family.
He was glad when the baby was well enough to leave the nursery, and gathered with his older brothers Jason and Clarke to see him when Chace brought him out. He was the spitting image of Molly, from her dark hair and black eyes to the tanned skin and gentle smile. The first thing the new babe did when he saw Rohx was reach up and yank a hair right from one of his large nostrils - much to his disapproval. Thus, the bond with young Chester began and their life lay ahead of them.
(They're bios are pretty joined from here on, so reading through Chester's should give a good idea of Rohx' as well.)
INTERESTING. NOW, WHAT ABOUT YOUR SKILLS?
Like all of his breed, Amons Auro, Rohx has devastating fire power. He can create great balls of fire that is matched by no other breed. He is a powerful beast like all dragons, but his most known for his fire. He knows very little magic, only some minor healing spells that require he give up some of his energy to help those in need. He doesn't do this often as Chester doesn't want Rohx getting weary to help someone unless it is a life or death situation.
