You're walking along in the open, looking for an easy meal. You're a loner, nowhere to call your home. Suddenly, a great white dragon flies down at you, and breathes a white fire that chills you, right down to the bone. Her breath left frost all over your scales. "Why have you trespassed into my territory, worm?" her mighty voice roars, rows of white teeth glistening. "I'm sorry! I didn't know!" you plead. You tell her your name. "I'm Sephina. The best way to go is to find your own territory and lair. Or, you can steal it from another." she says, then sees a glint in your eye. "Don't even think about stealing mine, or I'll have your scales for breakfast!" Sephina threatens, and continues on, "Or, you can stay a loner and steal prey from other dragons. Some even have their own dragon communities and cities, where they take care of each other, their young, and eggs, where no human is. Make your decision." she said, growing impatient. Her claws leaves scratches on your scales as she chases you out of her territory. You think about it. A lair all to yourself, and possibly a mate, and your own kingdom. Humans bowing before you, delivering gold to your lair. You like that. Stealing one sounded hard, but you're still deciding. Being a loner did have its advantages, but there would be no place to raise your young or store gold. A dragon community seemed pretty easy. Joining other dragons in a widespread territory, where you could find a mate easily, help protect hatchlings, eggs, hunt freely. No humans to disturb you! What do you choose, scaly one?

Dragon Terms
Most are made-up.
Elder Dragon - An elder dragon is pretty obvious. They are really old, although there has never been a record of a dragon dying from old age, basically making them immortal. These dragons are treated with the most respect, for they have a vast spread of wisdom from their long time on the planet. Their age is usually 1000 years and older.
Flightless Dragon - These dragons are uncommon, but they exist. They could have wings, but can't fly. They can be wingless, preventing flight. They could be a dragon that lives in the ocean, where they don't need to fly.
Dragon - Just a term that says what they are, no matter the breed.
Worm - This term is often used in taunting, insulting, or intimidation.
Hatchling - Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. A sign of maturation is when wings grow in, flippers, different and continuous behavior, etc. At this point, their mother will abandon them or throw them out of her territory. If hatched and matured in a dragon community place, then the hatchling stays and learns how to survive. It has the choice of leaving whenever. Maturing displays may happen at the 1 year mark, and they grow into their full form at 2 years.
Egg - Eggs are laid a few days after breeding. They must be warmed constantly and hatch at least a week later. Sometimes it may take months. If an egg is too cold for a few days, it will hibernate in order to keep the baby inside alive. Hibernation for the egg will only last up to 6 months. If it does not receive warmth by then, it dies. Unborn dragons are actually ready to hatch early on in their development cycle. However, they choose to remain in the safety of their own egg rather than leave it. Females can produce up to 4 eggs per breeding.
Vampire Dragons - This breed is confusing. They're rare, and only reproduce by biting an egg, injecting their venom and killing the baby inside.
Loners - A loner is an individual dragon that chooses to wander alone. They mostly steal from other dragons' territory and avoid finding a mate or their own lair.
Tribute - Loot. Gold. Money. Something that humans will bring you if you rule a kingdom over the mortals.
Minions - Most minions of dragons are goblins. Orange-skinned humanoids that speak a language that humans don't understand.
Purple Dragons - Not much is known about them. Females are very common in this breed, only few males are known. Their powers are unknown, even their diets. They are believed to be masters of 4 elements, the ones they choose to practice. They are rare.
Kingdom - A kingdom is when one (1) individual dragon claims territory where human civilizations are. The dragon controls their cities and villages, and the humans bring daily tribute (loot, money, etc.) for protection from their ruler. A typical kingdom only has a maximum of two (2) dragons, the ruler who claimed the kingdom and their mate. Later on, when eggs hatch, there will be hatchlings. Close to maturing, both dragons will throw their offspring out of their territory to fend for themselves.
Territory - A territory is a widespread land that one (1) individual dragon claims. They are the owner of that territory. A territory does not have any human civilizations whatsoever. Commonly, there are only two (2) dragons, and then their offspring if they choose to let them live on their territory longer. If it's big enough, the dragon who claimed it could allow other dragons live in their territory.
Dragon Community - A dragon community is a very big, widespread piece of territory that one (1) dragon claims at first. There are no humans at all here, only dragons. Any dragons can join as long as the creator approves. Each dragon works together. Whether it be hunting, protecting eggs, feeding hatchlings, etc. They work together and get along.
More terms will be added as I think of them and/or misunderstandings occur.

Season
Next Season Change: January 19, 2011
Spring [] - This is the breeding season! Although dragons breed whenever they please, this season amplifies that need/want and it sparks a compulsion to find a mate in each dragon. Males try harder to impress a potential mate, and even herbivore females will eat meat offerings from a male. Prey is abundant in this season! It rains every so often and the temperatures are balanced. Hatchlings born in spring are the healthiest of them all!
Summer [X] - This is the hottest season, and when droughts are really rough. Prey is abundant only at night and it barely rains. Little to no clouds are seen and many plants die. Hatchlings born in summer are more likely to die of lack of food and/or water, but many still survive. The dragons that live their life in water also face a minor death toll. Water shortage. Temperatures are hot! Aggression is increased in this season, and competition over resources are common.
Fall [] - This is the rainy season that relieves all life from the hot season of summer. It rains and thunderstorms often, the leaves turning colors before dropping from their trees. Prey is regular and are fattening up for the winter. Some dragons are even starting stockpiles so that do not need to hunt in the cold winter. Hatchlings born in this season are likely to get ill and sometimes even die.
Winter [] - This is the hardest season of the year! Many hatchlings get sick and die during this season due to shortage of prey, warmth, and shelter. Eggs laid in this season are most likely to go into hibernation if not warmed. Prey is very scarce and dragons that live in water are having a hard time to find place to surface for air.
