Fire Gem Dragons are a colorful, flamboyant breed often found in hot climates, particularly around active volcanoes. Their broad tails store the flames they breathe, which are colored by the heavy amount of minerals in the water they drink. These dragons come in a variety of colors, and will collect shiny trinkets and stones that match their own coloration. Despite their hoarding tendencies, though, Fire Gem dragons are social and will often congregate in groups and show off their collections while fawning over the stones their friends and rivals have gathered, occasionally arranging trades.

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.

Official is an active and excitable fire gem. He firmly believes that something strange and exciting... something he can't really explain... will happen to him soon. Because he doesn't really have an inkling what that is, only that he's sure something will happen, he fills his time with as many activities as possible, from inventing new entertainment options to re-enrolling at the School to picking up a variety of hobbies. He's been telling others about this strange and exciting thing that will happen soon for many years, and while many admire his energy and contributions, they're tired of him repeating himself. Maybe with all Official has done for them and the gems and accolades he's received, the thing already happened to him, and he doesn't realize it.
