Dragons

General

These magnificent creatures of glistening scale and powerful musculature, loom over almost everything else. Powerful wings propel them onward. There a wide variety of these things, with different affinities, but they all tend to have a similar vital functions and compulsions. Firstly, they all contain two separate stomach linings, the first for the consumption of food normally, and the second for breaking down vital substances and mana in the creation of their breath and exerted natural weapons.

Despite their already imposing power, they're immense age makes them capable of learning magics far beyond that of a typical human. They could have several times the ability of an archmagus in any field, or have an adept ability in nearly every kind. Shapeshifting is an extremely common ability used by more powerful Arcane dragons. But this is only the case in elder wyrms, and younger dragons take at least 80 years to reach full normal maturity, not to mention that dragons tend to continue growing almost indefinitely.

Personality

Dragons tend to be isolationist, and avoid the company of others, including other dragons, whenever they can. Typically they look down on other living creatures as their inferiors, and other dragons as potential threats to be weary of. They typically abandon this when other creatures begin to revere, worship, or otherwise pay tribute to them in service. As such, most dragons prefer easily defendable and isolated areas, such as ancient city wrecks, mountain coves, and marsh inlets, sometimes made by themselves.

They also tend to have an obsession, knowledge and valuable objects are both things which are mainly taken, but almost anything else is common.

Culture

Dragons, as enlightened individuals, have no concurrent or unifying culture, but rather they forge their own individually from pits and pieces of their area, typically adapting.

Religion

Dragons tend to take the religion that lines best with their goals and developed ideology, if any. In some cases, Dragons themselves gather cults around themselves are themselves worshipped. This kind of dogma more than likely turns them into tyrants. Factions As Isolationists, Dragons more than likely do not have a faction, rather siding with whomever suits them the best at the moment. If they do have a faction, the allegiance of one dragon is not indicative of any other's.
