Characters so far:
Name:
Blackheart (This is a title, her true name is a well-guarded secret.)
Faction: Ravagers
Rank: Leader
Gender: Female
Age: 1,282
Personality: It is safe to say that the Ravager leader has earned her title and infamy a hundred times over; Blackheart is one mean dragon. She has remained in her position of power throughout the centuries by means of brute force and intimidation, and the few who have tried to usurp her have shared the same grisly fate. She possesses a brilliant strategic mind, which is often unfortunately overshadowed by her volatile temper. While she now has a better handle on her anger than she did all those centuries ago, it really doesn't take much to send Blackheart into a fit of rage; and heaven help the unfortunate soul who might be on the receiving end of that fury. "Mercy" is a word not found in her vocabulary.
Despite all this, Blackheart does not make an effort to be pointlessly cruel towards members of her own species. She is ruthless and efficient in battle, and when dispatching an opponent, she is more interested in ending their life than causing them pain. (However, during her rage-induced fits, she has been known to show a bit more of her sadistic side.)
BlackHeart wears an eternal scowl, even if she's inwardly in a good mood. Not that she is particularly meaning to scowl, it's sort of become a habit for her. Her commanding officers and those who know her closely can identify her rare "happy moments" by her tone of voice. While usually a low, guttural growl, if in a good mood, Blackheart's pitch will rise to a more gentle tone. Blackheart has also been known to give decent advice on occasion, to those brave enough to ask.
Blackheart has persevered through all these years and fought so valiantly for her cause because she truly believes that, by exterminating the humans, she is doing her species and the entire natural world a favor.
Appearance: Blackheart is a jet-black dragon of titanic size. Her build is muscular and her scales are thick. Horns of varying shapes and sizes adorn her head, and although at first glance they may seem random in placement, there is actually a delicate harmony between them. A thick row of spikes jutting from her armor-like scales runs from the base of her head and down her back. Blackheart wields a spiny club at the end of her tail. Her underbelly is a shade of dark silver, and her long talons share the same shade. Her eyes glow like furious embers, obscuring her snake-like pupils from view.

Elements: Lightning and Death
Abilities:
Thunderclap- Blackheart throws her head back and emits an ear-splitting roar to the heavens, which summons a lightning storm. She may then channel the Lightning to strike at her opponents, but this takes immense concentration on her part, and is extremely taxing. At maximum, she can summon four lightning strikes before she is too exhausted to continue fighting. She may also imbue herself with the storm's power, giving her a temporary but extreme boost in speed and agility. Once the effects wear off, however, she will be left feeling lethargic.
Corrupt flame- Blackheart possesses a chemical that, when released, corrupts her flame and turns it inky black. It will burn far hotter than average dragon's fire, and emit a choking black smoke. BlackHeart's natural supplies of this chemical are limited, and once it runs out, her flame will cool immensely and become a pale amber color, rendering her breath-weapon essentially useless until her body replenishes the chemical. (About 2 days.)
Bloodlust- The more blood being split around her in the heat of a battle, the more ferocious Blackheart will become. Her sense of pain will dull and her physical strength will intensify. Of course, this is a reckless and self-endangering behavior as she can no longer tell how far she is exerting herself, and has nearly cost her her life on multiple occasions.
Strengths: Her imposing size and infamous reputation make Blackheart an incredibly intimidating dragon. Her powerful wings allow for high-speeds while flying in a straight line, and her jaws are a steel trap. She is also incredibly durable, able to sustain serious injuries and keep fighting.
Weaknesses: Her explosive, volatile temper and the inability to control it. Her massive size does not allow for quick turns in the air, and thus, she is not very agile. When in the thick of battle, she may act with her emotions rather than her rational mind, leading to defeat by the more cool-headed Lyhra.
History: See "plot."
Other: As BlackHeart's rage intensifies, so do the red glow of her eyes. On occasion, she will loose the battle with her emotions and become entirely blinded by her fury, losing control of herself. When this happens, her eyes will turn an inky black. Blackheart is incapable of reason when these fits occur, and it may take hours for her to regain control.

Name: Lyrha
Faction: Saviors
Rank: Leader
Gender: Female
Age: 1, 075
Personality: In her glory days, the Savior leader proved herself worthy of leading her cause. She is a compassionate lass who likes to see the good in others; though she doesn't see it as often as she would like to. With a degree of bravery and a great dedication to her goals, Lyrha has no problem standing up to an intimidating power or for others. She has a charismatic air to her, and she has a way with words. She can convince someone or smooth-talk her way out of a situation if she needs to. She appreciates the small things in life, but also looks forward to bigger goals. While very passionate about her cause, she is able to keep calm and cool-headed.
Appearance:
Image
Element: Air and Fire
Abilities:
Fire Breath- The typical image of dragon's fire breath, Lyrha can shoot forth a blazing beam of flames from her maw. There is nothing very complicated about the power, but it cannot work when her head is wet.
Air Control- She has finesse over wind power, a flexible ability that allows for several combinations of attacks during battle. However, it tends to get out of control the bigger the manipulated area of wind gets. It can often get loose and act as a tornado, causing more damage than intended.
Fireball- This power allows for Lyrha to set herself on fire, thus becoming a living fireball. Like her firebreath, this cannot work if she is wet or very weak. This comes with the necessary bonus of being fireproof.
Strengths:
-Lithe and light, allowing for her to move with a higher speed.
-Small size and little accessories, allowing for her to slip through small spaces.
-Very smart and witty, able to think herself out of situations.
-Very sharp claws.
Weaknesses:
-Her small size and lack of bulk leads her to being terrible with defense.
-She cannot swim. She tends to stray away from large bodies of water, and absolutely fears flying over them.
History: See "plot".
