As a note, no dragon clans are evil in and of themselves, though occasionally an individual dragon will be drawn to the dark paths. Certain clans are more sadistic and unfriendly towards humans than others, but this does not make them evil. Also, all dragons will have an affinity for the elements, fire especially.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Stormwatcher, the Progenitor.

This dragon is literally the All-Father of this race. He is a dragon, but no-one really knows where he came from. Each dragon clan has a mythical mother, that Stormwatcher himself conjured from each element with his magic. He is a living god amongst his kind, who chooses to remain amongst his people without ruling their lives. His council, however, is sought after, appreciated, and often followed.

He is a member of every clan, being the father of all, but since creating others of his kind that bred and grew, he has shared his affections with a few select females, and they have borne him children. These children are few and far between, but bear great power and nobility.

This dragon is ancient, bearing a long beard and thick, curling horns. He can shift his appearance to anything he desires, but generally stays in a range of blue-grey iridescence. He seems to be most comfortable in these colours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Red Chasm, Clan of Fire.

Red Chasm is likely the clan with the worst reputation of all dragons. They are extremely solitary and often violent in nature. Red Chasm dragons are easily angered and can hold a grudge for an incredible length of time. They do not like other intelligent species, and would rather eat a sentient than make conversation with it. They are also extremely unfriendly to their own species, with a few exeptions. (Note - not ALL Red Chasm dragons are like this, but it is a tendancy that they have.)

Red Chasm dragons tend to sadism, and have been known to practice cannibalism on occasion. They are very solitary and live, usually alone, in deep, hot caverns, deserts, and other places of extreme heat. Some of the northern members of this clan like hot springs and geisers. There is one intelligent species that they do communicate with, and that is the Salamanders, fire elementals who share territory with them. Red Chasm dragons preferred raw elemental magicks to psi-magicks and more conventional magicks. They were usually red or other fire tones, rarely they had ash highlights and sometimes they had metal highlights (though they were never wholly metallic).

Red Chasm dragons who have been re-encarnated as humans tend to be loners, usually have very short fuses and stay angry for a very long time. They are fiercely loyal to causes they beleive in, and they are stubborn as mules. They have a fascination with fire to the point of pyromania, and some will find that flames around them, whether they are candles, or fireplaces, or otherwise, will react with their emotions and mental states.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ocean Deeps, Clan of Water.

Ocean Deeps was the dragon clan of water. These dragons are very social with members of their own clan, but often reclusive and hard to find for other sentients, other clans included. These dragons are mellow and easy-going, and will always prefer negotiation and compromise to battle. When encountered they are friendly, if a little shy. These dragons are extremely gentle, always trying to avoid confrontation and pain on anyone's part.

They live quite comfortably in the earth's oceans, breathing easily both in air and water. The magics of these dragons are mainly psi-magicks, though they dabble in the other magicks. Compromising and adaptable, these dragons change with the seasons, though they will remain constant to their morals and their high standards. They are very true friends and very emotional in nature. Ocean Deeps dragons were usually blue, green, purple, or variants of these colours. They were often highlighted with grey, yellow, or white, and sometimes had metal highlights, of gold, silver, or platinum, though they were never wholly metallic. They were the smallest of the dragons, and some never left the waters at all.

Humans re-encarnated from this clan are often very fond of the water and will choose to live in places with a good view of a water source. They are usually very gifted, telepathically and empathically. They love animals and animals... ]]> ~living-in-torment http://living-in-torment.deviantart.com/journal/11855523/ http://living-in-torment.deviantart.com/journal/11855523/ Sat, 17 Feb 2007 13:28:47 PST
Definition of Beauty: the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).

Why do people spend so much money to be told there beautiful? Why do people feel the need to always be told there beautiful?
It’s because people now a days need to be something there not to get the satisfaction of doing something good.
People spend millions of dollars a year on Make-up, Clothing, and Plastic surgery etc just to change themselves so people can say you’re beautiful. Young girls and boys are changing themselves to look like there favorite celebrity/singer.

I do not see why people need this false hope to be happy. I am a 16 year old girl living in Queensland and I do not want to change. I admit I do sometimes people would say I’m beautiful but not for the reasons above. I wear Baggy clothing (mostly males appeal) and do not apply make-up nor do my hair, that is my fashion and I will not change it to be told the word I die to hear, I do not think I should change for those words, I don’t believe a person is capable to say those words to me for I do not have the stereotypical teenage fashion, but I do not need to hear those words to be happy. I rather be myself and be called hurtful things then be something I’m not and be told lies.

“Fashion is a form of ugliness, so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months” By Oscar Wilde.
I agree with that he says for it is true, ever season brings out a news style of clothing and people rush out to get it to be ‘fashionable’ then to be told it’s old and to get this other one.
Society is corrupting our youth, making them more ignorant and blind to who they where, becoming the monster people fear to be.

I did not write this to insult anyone, only to warn people that it is ok to dress nicely but not to change completely and lose the former person you where. Beauty is not a thing everyone has to be, be yourself and don’t change just to here people say “your beautiful”.
People everyone listen to your brain and do the logical thing for your sake and our future adults
