Artisan Dragons are rather average for a dragon species. They are very peaceful dragons, tranquil and calm in approache to their problems. Artisans are very experienced ambassadors to other worlds with their endless amounts of patience, and tend to make up most of the Dragon Aides to the Council. They usually would like nothing best but a quiet, sunny day to paint/draw/sculpt/read. As their name implies, they do most of the intricate artistry in all the Dragon Realms, including statues, construction, and portraits. Their imagination is nearly boundless. Because of their openness to other species, a pure-bred Artisan is a rare sight.
Artisans prefer soft, rolling meadows and countrysides to doze in, and ornate castles to spend their time. They harbor the biggest library in the Dragon Realms, and put it to good use almost every day. They enjoy sunny weather with a light breeze, and the occasional midday sprinkle. Their world is covered in the statues of dragons their hands have created, as well as tall, awe-inspiring buildings to call home.
Peace Keepers
Peace Keepers are the strongest and most toned species of dragon. They are warriors above all else and have an outstanding army to defend the Dragon Realms with, and always maintain discipline and courage. They take the “attack first, ask questions later” routine, and tend to have short tempers and one-sided views. Everything about their life, from the day they were born to the day they die, is about being the best soldier they can be. Although, they do know how to relax in the best tar pits this side of the magical plane!
Peace Keepers prefer to stay in hot climates, such as deserts and sun-beaten plains, though they have been known to inhabit chilly ice caves as well. Any sort of temperature-harsh environment is their specialty. Tar pits are localized in the Home World, where off-duty soldiers can soak and relax.
Magic Crafters
Magic Crafters are a rare sight to see, but when they are seen, people tend to remember them. They are shy creatures and aren’t very good with strangers, and like to stay confined to their top-most peaks to work on their sorcery. Because of this fascination with magic, they have turned their world into Albert Einstein’s worst nightmare: the laws of physics are regularly broken, as well as a few laws not yet known. They’re the ones to make the potions and magic spells of the dragons. Magic Crafters, above all else, like to use brains over brawn, and are usually the first to come up with a witty comeback. In the end, these are a few nerds you don’t want to mess with!
Magic Crafters like to stay up in the clouds, mostly to snowy mountains and high cliff-top caves. They are use to the strong winds and cold atmosphere, and can even be lulled to sleep by a low temperature. They rarely venture down from their cliffs, as living on the edge – with or without the help of perilous magic – seems to be their forte.
Beast Makers
If a dragon could ever let himself go, then he would most certainly be a Beast Maker. They are the champions of self-indulgence and would like nothing more than to lay around in their swampy baths and listen to some nice music. However, they have to work to eat, so they take up jobs such as their namesake: creating monsters and fodder for the rest of the Realms. They are responsible for nearly 78% of the non-sentient species inhabiting the Realms, and are quite proud of them too. While Beast Makers rarely get angry, once their set off, they’ll destroy everything around them with their charging attacks.
Beast Makers inhabit swamps, dense jungles, and [surprisingly] platform-supported tree tops. Their most well-known world, the Tree Tops, supported their girth on huge metal-and-wood platforms atop huge tree well over a hundred dragon-lengths long! Marshes tend to be the place to find Beast Makers, though: they loved to soak in the sticky mud.
Dream Weavers
Dream Weavers are arguably the most whimsical and beautiful-looking dragons of the Dragon Realms. They are a secluded species, with the smallest of numbers due to Gnasty Gnorc attacking their clan first in his first attempt on the Realms, and live in near-seclusion, rarely trusting outsiders and harboring among themselves all the secrets of the sleepless nights. Some have even called them arrogant and snooty. As their name suggests, they weave dreams and take care of the sleeping dragons all over the Realms. Having a nightmare? Call on a Dream Weaver to fix it right up! Dream Weavers are quiet and reserved, but can’t always be wise or knowledgeable in the ways of the outside world considering their hermit natures. They leave most of the thinking to the Artisans.
The Dream Weavers live in a very odd place: above the clouds on floating platforms and islands. Utilizing Magic Crafter levitating spells, they keep their homes afloat among the celestial bodies, living in huge, maze-like caves, castles, and other such structures. Their flora and fauna are the strangest of all, thanks to some Beast Maker ingenuity, ranging from playful Jokers to ogres cradling bouquets of flowers. While they live close to the moons, suns, and planets in the sky, there has been known to be no daylight cycle: their worlds are either always stuck in the daytime or the nighttime.
I'm an Artisan dragon, but part Magic Crafter and part Beast Maker.
