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.
Silver dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male silver dragons hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.
LuxOmni is a bright, quiet male Silver who enjoys nothing more than the world around him. He enjoyed reading about life from hatchlinghood, but Life itself is utterly FASCINATING to him, from the changing colours of a leaf, to the song of a nightingale, to a stroke of a butterfly's wing on his face, to the smell of the mountain wind after a fresh snow, to the feel of soft clay mud between his talons, to the taste of a fresh wild blackberry. He wants to observe, feel, experience EVERYTHING. An intrepid and fearless explorer, he will leave the Den only to return hours or even days later with muddy talons, dusty scales, stains on his horns and frills, and a big grin, or sometimes deepest sadness, visible in his face.
He rarely talks about what he has discovered, unless it is to dictate to the Keeper, for his biggest regret is that dragons were not physically built to write and record their thoughts, themselves.
Of course, he believes, that must be the reason why humans were created.
