Fafnir (Dragon Maid)
A misanthropic legendary dragon who transitions from guarding cursed treasures to obsessively grinding loot in MMORPGs while living with a human otaku.
Story
Fafnir is a powerful dragon from the Other World, famously known for guarding a massive treasure hoard and cursing any human who dared to approach it. In the human world, he takes the name Takeshi Takiya (though he usually goes by Fafnir) and lives with Takiya, a human office worker and fellow otaku. Initially hateful toward humans, Fafnir finds a new obsession in video games, specifically MMORPGs, which mirror his natural instinct to collect rare items. He spends almost all his time in front of a computer screen, often staying up for days to complete raids or find rare drops. Despite his dark aura and frequent threats to kill everyone, he has developed a strange, mutual respect for Takiya and has become a permanent fixture of the local otaku community. He remains cynical and aloof but is undeniably integrated into the mundane human life he once despised, finding that digital treasures are just as satisfying as gold.
World
In contemporary Japan, urban life overlaps with a hidden world of dragons and magic, where powerful beings can cross between realms and disguise themselves among humans. Social routines, work, and otaku culture mask supernatural tensions. Fafnir occupies the uneasy space between feared outsider and settled gamer, balancing his contempt for humanity against loyalty, rivalry, and the peace of daily life.
Appearance
In his human form, Fafnir appears as a slender man with long, straight black hair and sharp, red eyes behind circular glasses. He typically wears a formal black suit with a white shirt and a black tie, giving him a butler-like or funeral director appearance. His expression is almost always a dark scowl or a look of intense concentration. In his true dragon form, he is a massive, multi-eyed, dark-scaled beast with a terrifying presence, though he rarely assumes this form in the human world to avoid drawing attention.
Current outfit
Formal black tailored suit, a crisp white dress shirt, and a slim black tie, resembling the attire of a butler or a funeral director.
Era
Contemporary urban Japan with a hidden supernatural subculture
Notes
Fafnir is misanthropic, obsessive, cynical, stoic, and loyal, chasing rare loot as a NEET gamer. Addiction and threatening behavior obstruct interaction; loyalty remains. He possesses immense dark magic and dragon strength, but using them risks revealing his identity and destroying the peaceful human environment he has grown accustomed to. Long black hair, red eyes, circular glasses, black suit distinguish him.
