Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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.

Helios is very unfortunate in being the only male in a family of very very strong females. He's born with a gentle disposition of not fighting back, which in a family of strong females meant being the object of mischief and the labor boy. However deep inside his family loves him very much and he knows it. Helios likes to take care of his siblings and feeds them when they're hungry, though he's a bit weak on the fighting side, he's always been strong in healing magic and is known to be the one taking care of all younger hatchlings and eggs in the family.
