Astralophyne Dragons are talented magic users in many aspects, their most prominent area of expertise being that of supportive magic. In addition to normal healing powers, these dragons can tap into the energies of the soular plane using a circular glyph for especially powerful healing and strengthening magics. When the glyph is summoned, their tail tips and wings flair out, and their fur billows and bristles from the ambient energy as if a gust is blowing around them. This exceptional power takes much time and effort to learn, training beginning from a young age and mastery considered to be a mark of true adulthood. They are scholars at heart, ever eager in the study of the arcane and medicinal. In part due to this, Astralophynes can be found in varying professions; some settle down to raise medicinal herbs and insects, some teach their knowledge, and some travel around in further study of magic, occasionally healing those they come across. Some especially brave have been known to join other valiant dragons, supporting them in battles against great threats.

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.

Almaaz is a wise and quiet creature with a gentle disposition. He enjoys reading just about anything. If he sees legible characters written on anything, he'll read them. Though nowhere near the powerful mage his mother is, Almaaz is still fairly talented and has the ability to tap in the extra soular plain to perform minor healing spells. He tends to be picky about whom he uses his magic on, however, especially more powerful spells that take a lot of effort and mana to perform. Given how his family was randomly attacked by the villainous Scourgekeeper, Master Dungeonsculpter, Almaaz has become jaded and paranoid of all who approach his home. This disappoints his Venturis father, Ventus, who wants him to be able to use his skills to spread good will to others. This causes the two to have a rift in their relationship and argue somewhat frequently.
