The Aeria Gloris are an unusual-looking breed. With six glowing eyes, a ring of crystals that orbits around the dragon’s neck, and seven sets of short wings lining their body, these dragons are thought to be related to something primordial, perhaps even alien. Regardless, Aeria Gloris Dragons are graceful and gifted with potent magic that allows them to manipulate space almost instinctively. They have been known to use highly complex teleportation magic on the fly, and while these dragons are not very mobile on the ground, they often take off by using their magic to create a field which temporarily reverses gravity’s hold. Aeria Gloris are usually neither malicious nor benevolent, preferring to mind their own business and wandering as if in search of something.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons 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. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Rib9z graduated from Open Medical University outside of Nworset City as an orthopaedic specialist. By tugging with inverted or enhanced gravity, he can reset broken bones, and he often uses one of his antigravity crystals to help a patient keep weight off of a damaged limb while the bone is recovering. He has found that using his secondary element, electricity, he can stimulate regeneration in a way that improves recovery time for non-magical recovery and mana efficiency if life magic is used as a follow-up treatment. He is constantly frustrated by medical magazines and seminars, the majority of which assume the surgeon has fingers. Some of the more narrow-minded experts from other institutions ask him how he can perform operations without the aforementioned extremities. Rib9z explains to them with an offended sigh, "By winging it."
