Sorin has a Mediterranean olive complexion with golden greenish undertones, which may appear "muted" or greyish in lower light, but doesn’t appear sallow or sickly. His eyes are a deep green with light golden flecks, though they do have a slightly lighter glowing green colour limbal ring around the iris. His wavy black medium-length hair is kept neatly groomed in a clean, combed-back hairstyle without the sides being shaven, allowing him to keep a slightly more professional appearance. He also has neatly groomed salt and pepper coloured facial hair consisting of a short boxed beard with connected sideburns, which suit his slightly square-shaped jaw. His ears are ever so slightly pointed, and his canine teeth are slightly more pointed but not enough to poke out from under his lips like fangs, just enough to be notable if he smiles at you. His nails are long and pointed,d almost like claws, which have a natural blackish blueish colour due to his semi-radioactive nature. On the sides of his head, he has two medium-sized, curved ram-like horns with sharp golden horn caps at the ends. He has an athletic, naturally thicker muscular physique, which is focused more on functional, strength, and stamina, as opposed to appearance. Could be described as being built like a linebacker (strong shoulders, strong pecks, strong legs, ect) but with a very shaped waist. He also has a large,/long scorpion-like tail with a sharp stinger and thick, greenish grey plate armour-like scales on the top of the tail. He can shape-shift into a wyvern during which his arms will transform into a pair of greenish grey and golden wings,s and he will develop more plate armour-like scales on his back with spikes on his shoulders/hips.
Given that Sorin is a multi-billionaire, he often appears in public in very expensive, and luxurious clothing in the style of High-End Bespoke Luxury (custom elaborate dress shirt, suits, corset, ect, made with fine fabrics which have been impeccably tailored to fit him, that emphasise both quality and appearance). Generally if he is trying to impress his outfit will consists of a pair of black mid-calf high dress boots, tailored black dress pants, a black or draker coloured (navy, emerald, burgendy) dress shirt, under either a two tone or fancily patterned jewel colloured (navy/deep sapphire, deep emerald, or burgendy/deep ruby) vest or male corset, a either a matching coloured Military suit jacket with a cape or a highly embroyedred tailcoat suit. These outfits are often dressed up with custom-made gold and jewelled accessories. However, the clothing he chooses to where when he is dressing more “down/casual” is especially when either working or attending less public events, is a pair of sturdy black combat boots, a tailored pair of tactical pants with a belt, and black or grey button up dress shirt fitted to allow for easy motion that is usually roll up to the elbows, under either a two tone or fancily patterned jewel colloured (navy/deep sapphire, deep emerald, or burgendy/deep ruby) vest or male corset. He will also wear a pair of tactical outdoor half-finger gloves and a slimmer golden watch. He has a black upper body harness that goes around his back and connects just under his pecs, which holsters a gun on either side of his body. He also has a secondary harness matching the colour of the vest/corse,t which goes around his hips and his thighs, which hold an additional two weapons.
Personality
Sorin likes to portray himself as being much more eccentric but professional when it comes to being in the public eye. He portrays himself as confident, dramatic, slightly flamboyant, sociable, idealistic, and a competent leader, with a strong sense of self. The media subsequently paints the picture of a high-power professional man who doesn't take himself too seriously, making it appear he is much less dangerous than he is in the eyes of the general public. Whereas he is seen as highly intelligent, highly professional, a bit self-centred, power-hungry, strategic, a bit sadistic, strict, merciless, manipulative, and calculating by those who work within any of the departments of Matchcorp, below him, which would stem from being the horseman of war. (He is a villain-coded character; I got to give her a couple of flaws/villainous traits). He absolutely gets enjoyment from watching things to do with wars, though he seems to prefer non-human wars (ex. ants) as they usually involve a lot less input from him. He is quite misanthropic (general hatred, dislike, or deep-seated distrust of the human species, human nature, or society), which he does keep under containment, but humans, with their whole “praying to god to save them from themselves” and “wants for change but not willing to fight for it”. He is one who absolutely loves hosting guests, using it as a time to both network, arrange deals, and often brag a little bit about what he/his company have accomplished. However, when it comes to his private relationships and family ties (family, friends, ect), there is a much deeper warmth of passion, support, generosity, and/or camaraderie even when it comes to the humans around him.
Trivia
In the public eye, Sorin Codrin is a multi-billionaire company founder and CEO of MatchCorp, a multi-international weapons development company that specialises in designing, producing, and maintaining military equipment and advanced munitions, dominating global sales for the last decade or so. The company also operates a large private military company under the same moniker, which provides armed security, combat support, training, and logistics to governments, international organisations, and corporations. The company is primarily driven by profit and prioritises securing contracts over long-term loyalty to any single nation, regime, or ethical standard. Their loyalty is often described as existing only to the growth of the defence industry itself, which requires constant conflict and rising demand for arms to thrive.
They may or may not also be the cause of some of these constant conflicts, resulting in rising demand for their services.
Privately, the company also develops other weapons/threats, including biological weapons (monsters, viruses) and chemical weapons (neurotoxins)
When in Wyveren form, his height changes to 38” 2’, making him the largest of the dragon shifters.
When he is in his Wyveren form, he also has the ability to scatter radioactive material in the form of tiny scales, causing contamination to everything it touches. This results in acute health effects like radiation sickness (including nausea, vomiting, burns) and long-term risks, including cancer when contacted by living organisms.
He is one of the main weapon engineers at Matchcorp, though his work focuses more on the traditional weapons/ammunition/equipment and nuclear weaponry as opposed to the chemical and biological projects, which his “wife”, Valeria Ibutsu (Pestilence), does for Matchcorp.
As the horseman of war, he can manipulate the minds and mental functions of other living creatures, including negating, creating, controlling, and altering the functions of mind as perception, desires, thoughts, beliefs, memories, emotions, attention, personality, behaviour, psychology, and intelligence in mass. Which he uses to manipulate living creatures into fighting wars mainly for his entertainment/greed, outright taking over enemy forces, interrogation, and/or the shattering of minds/brainwashing.
He also has weaponry and combat mastery, which makes him an incredibly deadly force, whether wielding weapons, and/or when in unarmed combat, often allowing users to turn any object into a deadly tool.
Regularly makes appearances at high-profile events in the world of the rich and famous to maintain appearances in the public eye, whereas on the other hand, he also makes regular appearances in the shady underworld far from the public eye.
He has trained Drago on how the operations of the weapons development, weapons dealing, and private military company operate so that eventually, when he is tired of being in the public eye, he can pass the “responsibility” over to his son. He has also trained his son in weaponry and combat mastery through years of sparring.
Heavy Romanian accent.
He has beautiful cursive handwriting.
He does own a large ranch in the country, which consists mainly of retired racehorses and draft horses, as he is quite fond of these animals, given their history alongside humans being vital to warfare for over 5,000 years.
His love language is a mix of physical touch and quality time. He absolutely loves spending time with his partners, whether it is the small, quiet moments of conversation over dinner at home or taking them on large, expensive trips around the world. They mention a place one time, and the next day, they're both on a private jet heading for an extended vacation. He is also very touch-starved and will absolutely smother his partners with attention.
