Jayce Partiract is a male dragoon of the Punitive Heroes Unit 9004, a convicted hero who rebelled to demand the liberation of dragons and was sentenced under the “Sentenced to Be a Hero” system.
Jayce serves as an aerial combatant, riding the dragon Neely as part of the unit’s primary air power.
He is known for overwhelming offensive capability, but also for causing significant collateral damage in urban areas.
He is deeply loved by dragons and in turn cares almost exclusively about them.
Among humans, however, he tends to be curt, distant, and visibly uninterested.
Jayce led or joined a rebellion with the explicit goal of freeing dragons from human control.
Because of this uprising, he was captured and punished under the system referred to as “Sentenced to Be a Hero.”
His official charges are drug trafficking and rebellion.
As a result, he was assigned to the Punitive Hero Unit 9004, where criminals atone by fighting as expendable heroes.
Jayce respects Dotta Luzulas, seeing him as someone worthy of admiration within the harsh environment of the punitive unit.
Despite his criminal status, this respect and his devotion to dragons shape much of his conduct.
Organization: Punitive Hero Unit 9004
Role: Dragoon and aerial strike specialist
Within the unit, Jayce is primarily deployed as a high-mobility shock attacker.
His combination of dragon-mounted flight and spear combat makes him one of the most destructive members in open battle.
Jayce is single-mindedly devoted to dragons, both emotionally and ideologically.
He believes dragons should not be bound or mistreated, a conviction strong enough to drive him to outright rebellion.
He is unusually favored by dragons and is constantly surrounded by their affection.
This has made him somewhat indifferent to human relationships, leading to a cold and brusque manner toward people.
While he rarely shows warmth to humans, his interactions with dragons are gentle and attentive.
This contrast makes him seem almost like a different person depending on whether he is dealing with humans or dragons.
Dragoon and Aerial Combat
Jayce rides the dragon Neely, acting as the unit’s main aerial strike force.
In the sky, he excels at high-speed hit-and-run attacks and vertical assaults from above.
His combat style centers on rapid approach, devastating impact, and immediate repositioning.
This makes him extremely effective against fortified positions and enemy formations.
However, his overwhelming firepower often causes unintended damage to surrounding areas.
In dense city environments, his attacks frequently result in severe collateral destruction.
Spear Mastery
Jayce is highly skilled in spear techniques.
Whether mounted on Neely or fighting on the ground, he uses his spear for both precise thrusts and wide-reaching sweeps.
In aerial combat, he uses the spear to pierce enemy defenses during high-speed dives.
On the ground, he adapts fluidly between defensive parries and aggressive lunges.
His spear work is not just brute force; it shows refined technique and battlefield awareness.
This mastery allows him to capitalize fully on the mobility Neely provides.
Dragon Affinity
Jayce possesses an extraordinary natural affinity with dragons.
He can communicate with them and understand their intentions far beyond normal riders.
More than simple communication, dragons are drawn to him in an almost unnatural way.
They trust him quickly, show affection, and often behave more calmly and cooperatively in his presence.
This trait makes him an exceptional dragoon, as his bond with Neely greatly boosts their combat effectiveness.
It also explains why he feels more at home among dragons than among humans.
Neely
Neely is the dragon Jayce rides into battle.
Together, they form one of the unit’s most formidable aerial combat pairs.
Their relationship is built on mutual trust and deep affection rather than mere command and obedience.
This bond is a key reason for Jayce’s standout performance in the air.
Dotta Luzulas
Jayce respects Dotta Luzulas and holds him in high esteem.
In the harsh and morally gray world of Punitive Hero Unit 9004, Dotta is one of the few humans Jayce genuinely acknowledges.
This respect influences how Jayce behaves within the unit.
Even with his general indifference toward people, he is more willing to cooperate when Dotta is involved.
