Personality[]
Code of Honor[]
Dradash is a man of honor, holding him self to the five tenants of the warrior (Based on the IRL Bushido Code)
Rectitude - "Rectitude is one’s power to decide upon a course of conduct in accordance with reason, without wavering; to die when to die is right, to strike when to strike is right."
Courage - "Ability to face danger or hardship "
Benevolence - "Love, magnanimity, affection for others, sympathy and pity, are traits of Benevolence, the highest attribute of the soul."
Politeness - "Politeness should be the expression of a benevolent regard for the feelings of others; it’s a poor virtue if it’s motivated only by a fear of offending good taste. In its highest form Politeness approaches love."
Honest - "To be honest is to be humble, to not live by the coin, but by the blade."
Honor - "The sense of Honor, a vivid consciousness of personal dignity and worth, characterizes the warrior. He is born and bred to value the duties and privileges of his profession. Fear of disgrace hangs like a sword over the head of every warrior… To take offense at slight provocation is ridiculed as ‘short-tempered.’ As the popular adage puts it: ‘True patience means bearing the unbearable.’ "
Loyalty - "Loyalty to a superior is the most distinctive virtue of a warrior. Personal fidelity exists among all sorts of men: a gang of pickpockets swears allegiance to its leader. But only in the code of chivalrous Honor does Loyalty assume paramount importance."
Character - "Warriors should behave according to an absolute moral standard, one that transcends logic. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong. The difference between good and bad and between right and wrong are givens, not arguments subject to discussion or justification, and a warrior should know the difference."
Personality[]
Outside of combat Dradash is not just a robot that relies on his 5 tenants for all aspects of his life, on a personal level Dradash is a tempered blade, having lived through the great wars he has had his hot headed nature hammered out of him for the most part, leading him self to a more patient manner, but he is in no way completely level headed, still holding onto the prejeduces of his people from the treatment of his people through the years sense they set foot on Azeroth. He has a high kinship with those that pledge their lifes to the Horde, showing respect and honor to the other Horde races.

Weapons[]
Gol'Ogar, the Sword Cleaver[]
This Black Metal Axe has been apart of Dradash's life sense his Om'riggor, slowly upgraded during the years, including in recent years an Adamentium edge added to the blade of the Axe in order to fight against the Dragons, Dragonkin, and Dragon Cultist. It's name roughly translates into Death Axe...mostly for intimidation, though it's secondary name would be earned from his technique of using Windwalking to bring himself above his enemy and cleaving downwards, leaving any attempt to Parry to shatter even the strongest of blades.
