Concept art of a derg OC I've been wanting to create and flesh out for months.

I want his background and story to be a deconstruction and exploration of evil overlord tropes and characters (eg:Bowser/Ganondorf), greater scope plots, destiny... and friends.

Haven't fully plotted out his tale but there's some small details about him:
> His favorite foods are peppers(the spicier the better), salmon, pork, and most pastries.
> His rpg class would be monk (and mayhe warlock and/or dark knight due to his primary element being dark).
> He has different dragon forms much like BoF Ryu (including Kaiser which is much like BoF's in that It is a super mode that he initially cannot control).
> He can fold his wings like Goliath and his clan from the Gargoyles cartoon.

His entire life and even his own birth can be seen as tragic, as a 3rd party villain manipulated or even mind controlled people outright to basically build him up as a host body. And even as an egg he was experimented on to both bring back his brood (dark dragons were extinct in the setting prior to this) and to create the most powerful dragonflight (not unlike Nefarian / Deathwing from Warcraft). In spite of his initial antagonistic role due to rejection for what he is (he's seen as an abomination even among dragonkin due to his origins, antagonist role in the overall story, and his status as a potential 'Soul Jar' for a much worse villain), he ultimately wants to be accepted by society. Whether his desires ultimately comes to fruitation or not is up to him...
