Complications:
Names Have Power In Magic - Using a person's full name is evidence of a level of personal knowledge, and knowledge is power. If a mage uses a person's given name in conjunction with a spell, it will have a stronger effect, depending on how intimate that knowledge is. This is why most magic-users keep their identities a closely-guarded secret. If the mage has read the full name somewhere (personal records, internet, etc.), the attack gains a +2 effect. If they have heard the full name spoken, they get a +5. And if they have heard the person speak the name from their own mouth, +10 effect is applied.
Social Misfit - Dragon is seven feet, nine inches tall, 840 pounds, has a pretensile tail and wings. When in this form, he has difficulties in normal society.
Vulnerability - Because of his dragon senses, Dragon is vulnerable to sudden bursts of bright lights or loud noises. If he is hit with flash-based attacks, they get +2 to the Attack Check and +2 to the effect.
Relationships - Andrew is married to Annette and they have two children together. He hasn't been close with his brother for most of their adult lives.

Known Background: Twenty-one years ago, a geologist named Andrew Zeein was doing a geological survey of northwestern Arizona. There was an accident, and he fell into a cavern. As he lay near death, he discovered he landed inches from an amulet carrying a bas relief of a dragon. He reached out to touch it, and discovered it was an enchanted item. He found himself healing, growing and changing. He sprouted bat-like wings and a tail. His skin became covered with a red scaly hide. He had grown into a humanoid dragon. It was disruptive to his life. For many weeks he had problems whenever he tried to go home or reach any other part of civilisation. People were always afraid of him because he was a monster. Finally he gave up, deciding to stay away from the world of humans. He learned to live off the land, and he sequestered himself in the same cavern where he had become this creature.

About a year and a half after his transformation, he became embroiled in an adventure with Morning Star, Banshee, and Burt Remington; the heroes who would become the Champions of Justice. These heroes accepted him, and he became one of the founding members of the Champions. As a Champion of Justice he found public validation. As a part of a team of super heroes, people no longer viewed him as a monster. As Dragon, he has been a Champion of Justice throughout their history, with one year long sabbatical when he went to Tibet to learn sorcery. Ten years ago he became Field Commander, a job he held officially and non-officially until his retirement. He was among their most respected members, and currently serves on the Executive Board. Throughout his career he has worked in the Southwest, Arizona and southern California, until shortly before his retirement, where he was frequently seen on the East Coast.

Personality: Dragon is the heart and soul of the Champions of Justice. His kindness belies his monstrous appearance. He cares very much for the Champions of Justice; he sees them as family. He dislikes rules. He is very noble, but there is just a hint of a monstrous rage lurking beneath. He has no tolerance for his 'family' being harmed.

Powers/Tactics: Dragon possesses enormous strength, and an extremely tough, armored hide and can withstand incredible punishment. His wings enable him to fly in excess of 200 mph. All of his senses are extremely acute and have a far broader range than normal. He is capable of exhaling mystically generated fire and/or smoke for a variety of effects. He is a sorcerer. He doesn’t command a lot of raw magical energy, but he controls it very well. He is a gifted tactician, and wields his own powers with great skill. He enjoys fighting while in flight, and has become very good at it.

Appearance: Dragon stands about 7’9" and weighs over 800 lbs. His body is covered with red scales and orange plates. He has a tail, as well as bat-like wings growing out of his shoulder blades. His eyes appear reptilian, and there is a row of scaled ridges that runs from his head down his neck and back. His fearsome dragon-like appearance does add to his personal magnetism; he is very intimidating.
