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.

Julio Fireheart had blood as hot as his flame, and his passion was dancing. Raised among hatchlings of a variety of species in Wayside Haven, he never knew the terror and fright of living among his own kind. Therefore he was free to be who he was deep down. He wore his feelings openly when not actively expressing them in the rhythm of his latest tango, salsa, samba, mambo. He had many dance partners (as he was among the most popular males), yet nobody so far seemed perfect to him: the dancer to steal his heart. Julio Fireheart believes that someone with high enough energy for him will come along and put even more heat into his moves.
