Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Myrras, unlike his elder brother Thorean, is anything but a good leader. He is reserved, selfish; pack loyalty is present, but never a priority. Vanity is a striking feature of his; Myrras never looks truly amazing (he hasn't the natural beauty for it), but if he can fix it, he will. His den is neatly organized, with not an artifact out of place. His own appearance is much the same. Some call him put-together, but more sneer when he walks by, whispering confused wonderings of how such a sad example of an Ember dragon ended up the brother of the great Thorean.

Myrras never responds to this, but he has mentioned that he would rather no one compare him to his brother. As it is, he barely feels like he's actually family, let alone Thorean's younger brother.
