Pure
Dark Dragons are the cream of the Southern royalty. These are the up and
coming dragon types that have been favoured by evolution to have it all.
They're powerful, dark and cruel. They prey on the weaker Southern Dragons
and love to get into battle with the Northern Dragons.
But with all this beauty, power and intelligence comes a price to pay. The
D1 Dragons are always carefully watched, the members of the same type spy on
each other and wars among themselves are common enough to not let a week go
by without a disturbance.
Types
1. Demonic
Appearance:
Demon Dragons are red-tinted dragons with
claw-like feet and Y-shaped horns. When they're born their wings are
completely intact. The older they get the more tears will appear in the
wingsails until finally only shreds remain. By this age they will have
aquired the willpower needed to levitate without wings. As time proceeds
demons become quite adept in using magic. Unlike the Dark Magic Dragons they
will not openly display their knowledge though. After all it's better to use
your advantages in secret.
Personality:
Demon Dragons are the royalty of the Southern Continent. Stopping one of
them when it has made up his mind would take more than a considerable amount
of strength. They are cocky, strong, stubborn dragons that will only submit
to the most powerful minds. If the bond does not possess this strength of
mind, they will often lose their freedom and become a puppet for the Demon
to control.

2. Dark Magic
Appearance:
Dark Magic dragons can certainly be
called beautiful, even if they live on the dark half of Lyria. They still
closely resemble their Northern Spirit cousins with their lean build, facial,
arm, leg and wing tattoos and their generally harmless appearance. They have
two sets of bug-like wings that allow them to hover with the utmost
precision where they want to. Most noticeable about them however, is the
piece of thin cloth that winds around them. It is said that that cloth holds
incantations and that the longer it is, the more powerful the dragon.
Personality:
As their name suggests these dragon are
magic users. And they like everyone to know that they're special. They go
out of their way to look mysterious, dangerous and suave. A bit unusual for
dark
dragons is that these gather in guilds and sometimes are more loyal to these
guilds than to their bond (which can be a pain for the bond, but you know,
unions...). Young Dark Magic dragons are often taken in by an older one as
apprentices, and even the odd Voodoo can become a student should there be a
shortage. Of course, compensations are expected for this ;)
Size:
Medium to Large
Type:
Spirit
3. Reaper
Appearance:
Reaper dragons forebode little good. Their
skeleton-bodies, long cape and sharp scythe - rumoured to be cut out of the
bones of the first creature they kill - are frightening enough, but the
truely horrendous part of their appearance are their midnight black eyes
that follow you around yet don't appear to be able to see. It is uncertain
if Reapers eat. They kill sure enough, but are never seen carrying something
back to their lairs. Rumours - again only rumours since few people dare
venture close - say they feast on the souls of the deceased.
Personality:
Reapers are secretive, shy dragons. They love to live
in the shadows, observing, killing and not be seen while doing any of it.
Bonds to these dragons are sworn to secrecy about certain issues concerning
their lives (?) and habits. Little is known about their characters, the one
thing for certain is that these dragons do seem to get a kick of just about
anyone clearing the shadows when they pass.

4. Seducer
Appearance:
Seducers are antro-dragons with a very interesting
physique. Foremost they aren't very evil-looking from up front which would
challenge their high status. However, when taking a closer (sideway) glance,
you can see that first looks are deceiving. Though they look sweet and
charming, almost lost between the other Southern dragons, they actually
posses some weapons of their own. They have long straight horns portruding
from their head as well as from their wingsails. They also have a very
nimble scorpion tail they use to kill trusting humans that walk into their
trap.
Personality:
Seducers
were enigmatic for a long time. Basically no-one knew why they wished to
kill humans, after all Seducers don't like to eat human flesh so it seems
kind of pointless. A short time it was thought that they were reincarnations
of entities violated in a previous life who had returned to punish their
assailants. Now however, all that psycho-babble has been thrust aside
favouring the new hypothesis that seducers are just stark raving lunatics
with an unusual hobby to pass the time.
Size:
Small to Medium
Type:
Air
5. Chaos
Appearance:
Chaos dragons are large sea creatures
that live in the Wild Sea of Lyria, they are extremely strong and agile, not
unthinkable since they have to survive in such unruly waters, riddled with
whirlpools and rocks. For camouflage and stealth movement, these dragons
have only dark grey colours that make them very hard to spot in the dark
half of Lyria. Because of their leanness they are agile swimmers, cleaving
the waters with their ridge of razor-sharp fins and thrusting themselves
through every obstacle without hesitation with their tail and forefins.
Personality:
Chaos
dragons are einzelgangers, almost never talking, not with their bonds nor
with others of their species. All of them is focused on surviving the waters
and growing stronger, stronger and stronger until the day they might reign
supreme in the seas of Lyria... erm, that is classified information,
disregard please. Though silent, they don't give off an aura of hating other
dragons and/or humans, they just seem to be the kind of dragons that don't
wish to explain their actions.

Type:
Water
6. Goat
Appearance: At
first, the notion of a dragon species called 'goat' dragons isn't very scary.
But it should! Goat dragons are evil to the core. Their chocolate brown skin
blends with the grey, beige and brown colours of dried and rotten grass.
Their claws are steadfast and sharp. They come fully equipped with as many
as 15 horns, all of which a potential origin of pain. Last, but not least,
these dragons are so frightening that part of their face is covered by a
pure black metal mask. Though not by far the largest dragons on the Southern
continent, it's best to not cross paths with any of these.
Personality:
Not only are goat dragons frightening in appearance,
they're also rotten in character. Beside themselves they care for nothing.
They're primal in nature, choosing fast satisfaction to devious,
long-strecthing strategies. But don't be fooled, these dragons are far from
stupid. They just like to maim and kill too much to try and reign in their
urges.
