Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

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.

Maybelene Veronara is one of the JavaTiger Clan vampires, all of whom do the bidding of the most noble Countess Mina Montague. They have sworn fealty to her and to house Montague and their unending hatred for house Capulet; it was either that, they were told, or be driven from their territory. As one of the females of the group, May is allowed more freedom than any male, and, to her mind, that is how it ought to be. She is an eccentric she-vampire known among the JavaTiger Clan vampires for being oddly fond of masquerade balls, particularly the great annual Masque d'Halloween, held on the evening of the clan's fear festival... vampires only, of course. All the rest of the year she seems to live for that one evening, tending patiently to whatever responsibilities the Lady Mina sees fit to give her and daydreaming the while about long dances. As a female vampire of the JavaTiger clan, each year May has the right to select the perfect date to escort her and, of course, the perfect mask.
