Son of the Lightning Dragon
Kaida's earliest memories are of the biting winds and towering peaks of the northernmost mountain range, a place he knew only as the domaine of his adoptive giant family. Discovered as an infant, a strange scaled child with eyes like frozen lightning, he was brought into the formidable, yet surprisingly gentle, care of the Frost Giants. They taught him their ways - how to endure the brutal cold, how to wield his prodigious strength, and the fundamental principles of combat as a means of survival. He grew to be a towering figure, his lean, muscular frame belying the immense power within. Subtle, shimmering scales of his Chromatic Blue Dragon heritage adorned his otherwise High elven features, and his frosty white hair streaked with vibrant lightning blue. Though he loved his giant kin, a deep, unshakable question gnawed at him: who were his true parents, and what was this dual nature that set him apart? The giants could offer no answers, only a well-balanced longsword and a blessing for his quest. Now, at the cusp of adulthood, Kaida descends from his secluded home, a wanderer seeking the scattered truths of his lineage. He carries with him a monk's discipline, honed by the harshness of the north, and a nascent understanding of the elemental forces that surge within him, particularly the lightning that crackles at his fingertips and through his being, a gift from his elven and dragon ancestries. His journey into the wider world is not just a search for identity, but also a profound introduction to the myriad societies, intricate laws, and complex customs he has never known, a challenge he will face with the earnestness of a giant and the curiosity of an elf.
