Backstory: A particularly inventive brass dragon once fell into debt- such was the fate for a creature so proud, so hubristic that it thought itself invincible to the follies of gambling. They'd take human form and happily wager on not only fights but on challenges of the mind as well. Granted that same dragon wasn't exactly great at monetary management: all it took was a few clever words for them to end up deep in the red, having been caught rigging bets in a fight they themself were going to partake in.

Obviously they were barred from taking part— but still in need of making all that money back, they instead decided to make their own fighter. Enter Mercury and his 'siblings': a whole line of totally-humanoids that the dragon happily threw into ring matches to recoup their losses. Granted, the whole shebang didn't last too long. One scandal later, Mercury's left with no draconic benefactor and a whole lot of freedom to travel. He and his mismatching family members scattered to the wind, with him left to simply wander around and follow his previous directive of becoming the 'best fighter', whatever that means.
