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.

Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Sereche was raised no better than any livestock or cattle. He grew up alongside humans with little to no contact with other dragons. His sole purpose was to guard the house of the noble he was owned by, and for a while he did his job well, despite the poor treatment that he typically received. He never thought to question his existence or ponder the idea that there may have been something better out there for him.

Then, one fateful day, Sereche spotted a group of juvenile dragons playing in the woods by his master's home. They weren't burdened with chains or forced to obey orders that came from a mere human. That was when he broke free.

He still has scars from where the chains cut into his flesh as he tugged against them, permanent reminders of  the life he lived. It haunts him to this day, and he's become quite the solitary dragon, choosing to hunt alone and live away from others, even thoguh he secretly yearns for acceptance in their community.
