Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Two headed dragons are a special breed of dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, attacking back and forth. They use their sharp teeth and wings to hunt large animals, and rarely eat plants. It is unknown what would happen if a two headed dragon were to mate with a one headed dragon, since it has never occurred. They only mate within their breed.

From a long and honored line of Split dragons, Finn and Fionan intend to carry on the tradition of never mating with anything other than a Split dragon. Their blood, as the blood of all their ancestors, will remain pure.

Finn is a noble dragon, firm of heart and wise of head. His spirits soar when he hears the sweet melodies of White Rose's songs as they drift through the complex of caverns that is the Community. If there was a Split dragon who ventured away from the path of purity, Finn would be the one.

Alas his twin, his brother Fionan, does not share this sentiment. His is the proud bearing of the continuation of centuries of tradition. No Split shall mate with any but another Split. Tis the way of things, and the way things shall remain. Though he humors his brother's affections for White Rose, their relationship can never be. As for Fionan, he enjoys listening to music and singing. He is also a fine cook when company that eats cooked food happens to arrive.
