Hellfire Wyverns are so named for their foul tempers and fiery visages. Their social structure places all females above all males, due to superior physical characteristics and violent dispositions. Forced subservience of the males causes them to become vicious, petty, antisocial, and passive-aggressive compared to the aggressive and social females. However, orphaned hatchlings raised by foster parents of another species can develop surprisingly even tempers and mellow dispositions, proving that their defining unpleasant nature is, in fact, a learned behavior.

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.

Rockblaze is a warrior of SoulClan. His older sister, Charcoalheart, always encourages him to work hard and stay out of trouble. The working hard part, he does, but stay out of trouble...not so much. He is powerful, courageous, and curious, and he's always trying to test new experiments with the things he discoverscreates. He is often found trying to take charge and teach Shinypaw how to fight physically, ignoring his disadvantage in size. Shinypaw's real mentor, Flamewing, teaches him magic, which wouldn't have anything to do with his size. (He is also named after his father, because he hatched a day before Father's Day.)
