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.

Haughty and derisive, Mars is one of the most unfriendly dragons there is. However, he wasn't always that way. When he was a little hatchling, he tried to be friends with the other dragons, but they wouldn't have anything to do with him. Just because others of his kind were mean, they immediately thought Mars would be the same, and they treated him like an outcast. Their cruel words twisted Mars' heart, and he became just like the rest of his species, ignorant and wicked. But deep beneath his stony exterior lies the same little hatchling desperately searching for a friend, for anyone who will listen.
