Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

Fire Brick (or FB for short) is so named for his color, his grandmother, and his fiery disposition. One of the spicier Crimscales, it doesn't take much to set FB off. His notoriously short temper blends well with his generally grumpy disposition. And, to top it all off, he has a tendency to lie incessantly. FB's carelessness is really what makes him so difficult. He is a highly self-centered beast with little regard for the thoughts and feelings of others. If approached, he will more than likely attack or say something supremely rude in order to drive away any visitors. He and his mother, Bursting, infamously have a fierce rivalry with one another. One would think such a matchup would prove dangerous; Bursting is a small Ember, and FB is one of the larger Royal Crimsons in the family. But, in fact, FB (though massive) is probably the weakest Crimscale in the entire family. He cannot fight to save his life and his magic game is pathetic. This is the reason he tries to fight with words.
