Name: Ao Ji
Powers: Dual Blades (and some weather powers)

Ao Ji is a halfling; half-human and half-dragon, and he is the son of Ao Run, “the Dragon King of the West Sea”.
Ao Ji spent his young life with his father in their realm, studying and training in the ancient arts and knowledge, but he would also watch the world of mortals progress and grow into the modern era. He was never allowed to go down himself, but he was fascinated by what the humans were capable of doing.

Then one day, there was talk amongst the dragons of activity down on Earth, of a cult making attempts to bring a creature into their world; the legendary ‘Death Dragon’. The others knew that this could not be allowed, but they could not enter into the mortals’ world as easily as they once did. However, because of his mixed heritage, Ao Ji could.
His father didn’t like the thought of sending his son into a potentially dangerous world, but he knew that the Death Dragon had to be stopped. He had to have faith that his son was ready for the challenge ahead; he gifted his son with two legendary dragon blades and sent him down into Millennium City.

Ao Ji is young, and while a newcomer, he knows a bit about the world is is eager to see more of it, but his first duty is find and defeat the cult and the Death Dragon, and the best way to do that was to become a hero; he could do much good for the humans while on his quest.

Ao Ji was another character that I created at random in Champions Online, I was inspired after seeing some other characters in the game, as well as doing some research on the Dragon Kings in Chinese legend, so I ended up playing around with him here.
When I first built him in the game, I first had his normal look, but I also played around with more of a draconic look.

When I went to draw him, I knew I wanted him to be a bit different from what I normally draw. Since he’s half dragon, I wanted to have it where he had a bit more of a human appearance with draconic features, but that ended up being harder than I expected, I ended up doing several head shots playing with ideas.

I do like how the final sketch turned out, though I still think his face is a bit too creature-like rather than human-like, so it may require some tweaking still.
