Arrakore is a supporting character in Dragon's Rising. He is a Djinn and survivor of Djinjago's destruction, he initially gave up on life. However, thanks to Sora and Nya, he now tries to restore his home and his species.
He is voiced by Mark Hildreth.
History[]
Background[]
Long ago, he befriended a Djinjagan dragon named Zanth.
Prior to the destruction of Djinjago and its sister realm, the Cursed Realm, Arrakore was in another realm on a long quest. Upon his return, he discovered the ruins of Djinjago and was able to salvage a single grain of sand from his kingdom, securing it in a bottle-shaped necklace. After the Merge, he took shelter in a cave. Aware he couldn't use his magic anymore and there was nothing he could do to restore his homeland, he lost all hope and became pessimistic.
The Last Djinn[]
Arrakore notices Nya, Sora, Riyu, Jiro, and Zanth entering his home and tries to shoo them away by dramatically introducing himself as a powerful being, but instead hits his head on a stalactite. He quickly notices Zanth, who Nya and Sora thought was also named Sora. Zanth runs right to him and affectionately licks him despite being aware how ticklish he is.
Arrakore explains to Nya and Sora they are cursed for misusing a set of Seeker Stones, thus summoning some Howlers who will haunt them until they have drained their energy, and the only way to defeat them was with djinn wish magic, which is no longer existent. When the Howlers found their location, Nya and Sora ask Arrakore for help on defeating them, but the djinn first declined. But upon realizing hope is what he needed most, he aids the two defeat the Howlers by using their wishes.
They Call It Doom[]
Nya, Sora, and Riyu prepare for their departure before Nya wishes for directions to the Yellow Dragon Core, which Arrakore conjures an arrowhead to guide them, the wish also making the Djinjago stone grow bigger before they depart on Zanth and Jiro to follow the arrowhead's direction.
Appearance[]
Like all djinns, Arrakore has four arms and a mist-like tail. He has red skin, long white hair tied in a ponytail, and black eyebrows and facial hair. His attire consists of a blue-gray robe with four sleeves and light brown trims under a tan shirt and tied by a brown cloth. He carries a sand from Djinjago in a bottle-shaped necklace. The necklace was a blue bottle with a single range grain of sand, which became an orange and red rock.
Personality[]
Upon the destruction of Djinjago, Arrakore became cynical when he realized that he was unable to use his magic and thus powerless to restore his homeland. However, after meeting Nya and Sora and seeing their resolve, he has his hope restored and proceeds to use his wish-granting powers for benevolent purposes, as evidenced in the fight with the Howlers. Thanks to Sora's influence, Arrakore grows hopeful as he intends to restore his realm harnessing his wish magic once more.
Powers & abilities[]
- Wish Granting - Thanks to the Djinjago sand and Sora restoring his hope, Arrakore can utilize his wish magic for others. Unlike Nadakhan, who decides to twist the wish in a cruel way, he grants them exactly as the person wanted, which benefits them.
- Weapon creation - He can create weapons if someone's wish involves them.
- Fighting Skills - Arrakore has some degree of fighting, being able to hold his own against the Howlers.
- Cooking - Arrakore has some experience in cooking during his time in his sanctum.
- Singing - Arrakore has some experience in singing during his time in his sanctum.
Weaknesses[]
- Overexertion - If he goes too far, Arrakore would tire himself to the point of passing out.
- Emotional state (formerly) - Because hope and wishing are connected, he couldn't use his magic when he lost any hope until Sora helped him.
- Connection to Djinjago (formerly) - Djinjago is the source of all djinn magic and because of its destruction except a grain of sand in a bottle, Arrakore couldn't use his magic until the grain turned into a rock.
