Hey all! I'm new to the game and the forums, so I'm posting a character here both as a way to get critiqued and also as a a way to get a feel for the system. This character is just a concept that I'm still working on background-wise, so I'd appreciate any idea bouncing you want to send over my way.

=========================
At 20 years old, Brian was an average college student: lazy, working part time at a restaurant, averaging his classes at around a B or C. His only goal was to just get over with that section of his life and move on to the next, though he still didn't know what he wanted out of his life.
This was all changed one July when, while out watching some late night fireworks, he noticed something else fall out of the sky. His curiosity peaked, he went to where he saw it land and found a small, strange looking rock. Unthinkingly he tried to pick it up, but the moment he touched it, it began to shift and burrow into him, melding with his very blood and changing him. In sudden pain, he collapsed into unconsciousness.
When he next awoke, he found that his entire body had changed. His was covered in hard, brown scales, he had grown a tail and a pair of wings, and his body had grown immensely in size and strength, all which made him look draconic in appearance. When he tried to yell in shock and horror, he instead unleashed a roar that was accompanied by a burst of flame. Lastly, he discovered that the changes to his facial structure had left him with the inability to talk. Out of fear of his sudden mutation, he flew off, seeking solidarity.
Eventually however, he began to learn how to deal with his new situation. Although he couldn't speak normally, he could still use gestures to convey intention. When that wasn't enough, he learned to constantly carry a pad and paper to be able to write what he wanted to say. And with his new strength and endurance, combined with his ability to fly, he found himself able to do the things that no ordinary human would be able to do. He doesn't know if being a hero is really what he wants to do, but he thinks he might be able to find a calling using that strength.
