Since I write a lot of gemshard descriptions, these have their own page. For an overview of all approved dragon descriptions I’ve written, check out Dragon Descriptions.
Neimakanaash – Female CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Neimakanaash is a vindictive, capricious creature, quite unlike her more social kin. When in an especially impassioned foul mood, she’ll hunt down drakes to submerge them in the nearest river or lure them into elaborate traps, simply to enjoy their frantic terror. While her sadistic tendencies are known to her clan mates, she’s taken good care not to target them or their friends, which has let her remain tolerated, if only narrowly so. Herself afraid of isolation more than anything else, she does have some use to her ‘social circle’: If any of them were threatened by an outside force, she would defend them to her last breath.

I didn’t really want to describe dragons in 2015 because the description system had accrued a massive backlog, outright looking like an abandoned site feature, but my gemshard naming convention created such a strong urge that I couldn’t resist the temptation.
My gemshards are all named after words in my kraiaKy conlang, kendaneivash. Generally speaking, my ruby gemshards have negative concepts associated with them, my jade gemshards have neutral concepts associated with them, and my azure gemshards have positive concepts associated with them.
The word neimakanaash (or rather, ne͡imakanaas̈) means ‘a feeling of claustrophobia; the illusion of being unable to breathe’. Accordingly, I had to give her a particularly evil personality to go with that.
Raashelek – Female CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Raashelek is very particular about the pronunciation of her name, but patient in her explanations. According to her, the ‘sh’ in her name should best be written as an ‘s’ with diaeresis, denoting a sound far more akin to an exhale than what people would normally vocalise. Unfortunately, to her mild, recurring annoyance, the human keeping record of her on its scroll has proven incapable of getting her name right even in writing.
She’s a playful, forgiving creature, quite pleasant but for one detail: She seems convinced that pygmy dragons exist purely to be pets for larger dragons and has a selection of dark myst pygmies that she keeps in cages, obsessively pampering them, but completely, deliberately oblivious to their pleas to be granted freedom, regardless how explicit they make their desire.

The word raashelek (or rather, raas̈elek) means ‘prison; cage; trap’. I didn’t want to make her quite as vicious as Neimakanaash, so I decided to write about it as a disturbing but mostly harmless habit.
Adaryr – Male CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Adaryr is a nomad, travelling between social clusters of dragons, rarely staying anywhere for long. While he’s gotten used to this mode of living, it’s not entirely by choice: Wherever he settles, the locals tend to begin to be haunted by nightmares that they, in their bewilderment, eventually attribute to his presence. While it’s clear given his gentle nature that he is not consciously causing them, he nonetheless finds himself predictably cast out after a few days. Meticulously honest about his history, he’s often warmly welcomed to new clans regardless, as few have cause to believe his tale despite his insistence. He does not know if it truly is his presence that causes this affliction in those nearby, or if there are more benign explanations for the phenomenon – bad luck, perhaps. He hopes that he might eventually find someone with enough experience with inherent magical properties to solve the mystery, so that he may have either certainty or peace of mind.

- Accept: Good luck with that, poor guy
- Accept: Over all I really like the description as a whole. I’m guilty of this sort of thing myself a lot, I use “-” or “—” where a period would suffice. Keep being awesome! Very nice to read :).
Wow. o_o I didn’t know ‘being awesome’ was a thing I was doing. That’s really nice to read!

The word adaryr means ‘nightmare’. I was toying with a few separate ideas for Adaryr, beginning with the wilful afflicting of nightmares, going over affecting daydream dragons to produce involuntary ‘daymares’ rather than regular daydreams, and then finally to this very simple narrative. I rather want to give him a hug.
Coraa – Female CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Coraa has a gift to inspire people and dragons with a common goal to work together with uncanny precision. While often central to any undertakings she takes part in, she’s only a skilled mediator, not a leader; she has no power to bend people to her will in particular, nor any desire to. Her involvement is a game to her, and she is just as likely to make herself the proverbial keystone in a violent raid as she is in a concerted rescue effort. She has no moral compass of her own and no interest in acquiring one, interested in a functioning team and realistic plans coming to fruition, not so much in their mission’s outcome.

The word coraa means ‘middle; center; focus’. Figuring out a description for Coraa was tricky – I did not want her to be a leader, after all. I think it worked out reasonably well in the end.
Jalok – Male CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Jalok has a grasp of reality so accurate in its predictions that others occasionally mistake him as clairvoyant. He has a tacit understanding of human and dragon psychology and is deeply fascinated by subtler, long-term effects of the physical laws that govern Valkemare, giving him a good gauge for cave-ins of both the social and literal sort. A means to easily demonstrate that he cannot predict the future is to ask him about any chaotic system, such as the weather even just a few days ahead of time. Nonetheless, some of his loose acquaintances think he may simply deliberately be giving the wrong answers to such enquiries to deflect from his true abilities.

The word jalok means ‘certainty; confirmation’. I didn’t want to make Jalok directly clairvoyant as being able to predict the future is not quite the same thing as being certain that something will occur, but as you can see, the notions are definitely related…
Ganirr – Male CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
For all intents and purposes, Ganirr might as well be a regular dragon, were it not for one fine detail: By all objective measurements, he does not actually exist. More of a collective apparition than anything else, what’s astounding is how seamless people’s perceptions of Ganirr mesh together to form a coherent whole. Most that are witness to him would never question that he’s real – he appears tangible, friendly and communicative – but deeper probing into the fabric of reality reveals nothing. The few people that have investigated the phenomenon believe it may have something to do with the latent mana fields interacting with the weather in the area, causing internally consistent hallucinations in sapient passersby. Others have proposed that he might be a ghost of some sort, but as there’s no associated spectral signature, this is not a popular theory. Meanwhile, children often roll their eyes at the whole thing, muttering something about ‘imagination’ and ‘obvious’.

The word ganirr means ‘imagination; creative ability or prowess’. My first instinct was to have the dragon be good at imagining things, but Jalok already has that role by implication. Then I decided it would be awesome if he were simply, as a whole, purely imaginary.
Jabenash – Ungendered Frozen CB Azure Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Jabenash has nicknamed verself The Great Untangler for ver love of explaining people’s motivations to each other. Ve keeps a set of notes in ver lair that serve as a repository of past astounding trip-wires for ver. Each time ve’s wrong about something, ve investigates what preconceptions or missing data exactly caused ver to make an incorrect assessment. Once ve’s discovered the error in ver thought, ve writes verself such a note in a jargon of ver own. Occasionally ve can be seen poring over the collection, trying to reduce some of the discoveries to axioms for future use. Several people have come to start using Jabenash’s insights to gain some clarity in disputes, a service ve eagerly (and at least usually humbly, nickname notwithstanding) provides, especially if offered food in exchange, as ve often accidentally neglects ver physical needs if unattended, leaving ver frequently undernourished.

The word jabenash means ‘clarity’. In Jabenash’s case, I feel ve has a lot in common with Jalok, but ve’s more obsessive about the psychological aspect and would not be able to make any physical predictions. Generally, ve explains, ve does not predict, though ve probably could.
Hebenash – Ungendered Frozen CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Hebenash occasionally wakes from ver dreams without a sense of conclusion to differentiate the real world from the dream, a situation that is only resolved after ve falls asleep and later breaks out of the state after waking up ‘properly’. On days ve is trapped in ver dream mind, ve is understandably disoriented and confused, suffering primal existential fears that ve would not struggle with when truly awake. Ver worst streak so far involved ver enduring a three day marathon of this mental state, something that brought ver to the brink of death from sheer mental exhaustion. Recently, ve seems to have found a partial remedy in tisanes and (perhaps ironically) exposure to daydream dragons, the combination of which allow ver to, afterwards, almost reliably catch a restful sleep that lets ver wake normally.

The word hebenash means ‘disorientation; confusion’, with a visceral connotation. Regular disorientation doesn’t cut it, in other words, and I wanted ver description to reflect that. The idea of not waking properly from dreams came quite randomly, though, and I have to admit it actually terrifies me.
Rhaal – Male CB Azure Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Rhaal voraciously hungers for knowledge. Any insights discovered, he tries to pass onto others to best of his ability, tutoring anyone who is willing to listen to his rambles. The topic he’s most enamoured with sharing is a self-referential one: He loves nothing more than to teach people how to absorb information more effectively. To him, ‘learning how to learn’ constitutes the most important thing that anyone could acquire knowledge about, and he labours to teach his pupils how to put their minds to best use. By now he’s quite skilled at this general approach. However, perhaps ironically, he’s often a clumsy teacher for less abstract topics – in particular, his attempts at explaining how the physical world functions especially elicit more head-scratching than enlightenment.

The word rhaal means ‘intelligence’, so I wanted Rhaal’s skills to have something to do with the absorption of knowledge. It was especially tricky coming up with a way he can cause more intelligence in others, but I think this works the way it is.
Yuheiden – Male CB Azure Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Yuheiden is a firm believer in the good in every dragon that hasn’t proven itself unmistakably malicious. While he does not go out of his way to interact with sketchy individuals and rather prefers to stay amongst the safety of his own clan, he’s been known to allow all sorts of characters to use his horns, whiskers and tail for various purposes. His favourite so far involved a young dragon using the tip of one of his whiskers as a pen, dunking it into ink and drawing glyphs with it, but not all of his experiments in trust have been that painless. Where possible, he endures unpleasant manipulation, however, rather than trying to put an end to it.

The word yuheiden means ‘permission’. It’s usually used as a prefix; yuheiden-raas̈eles would be a permission to imprison someone – in other words, something one might expect a hypothetical police force to have at decree of a hypothetical ruler.
The dragon Yuheiden meanwhile is a complete pushover who permits whatever he can and I like him this way.
Pranash – Female CB Azure Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Pranash tries to be respectful of all things, even to obvious detriment of her own well-being. She puts effort into not doing any visible, living thing any harm and is crestfallen each time she as much as harms a literal fly. She prefers, if at all possible, to eat fruit that has only just fallen from trees, though in a pinch she will harvest fruit herself. She can’t fathom wilfully killing any creature, though she doesn’t scorn the meat of creatures that have already died, assuming it hasn’t rotted past the point where she can safely consume it (which it unfortunately very rapidly is). Together with some friends, she seeks a way to turn non-living matter into something edible by way of magic, thus side-stepping any ethical issues. She figures that if plants can convert lifeless matter into energy using the sun’s energy, dragons surely can do the same with sufficient research.

The word pranash means ‘respect’, and my immediate association with that as a deep-seated concept for a dragon was to make her live out something inspired by Jainism. I combined that notion with test-tube meat, extending it to test-tube nourishment in general.
Szamha – Female CB Azure Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Szamha is a fiercely protective dragon, but necessarily rogue in affiliation as she does not discriminate between friend or foe when acting out her urge. She’s of the firm opinion that all disputes can be resolved peacefully and any violence she observes – even violence enacted in arguable self-defence – will make her intervene. Her forked tail is battered and scratched from her past interventions and chances are she won’t be able to use it as a shield much longer, as it’s likely to crack or snap apart the next time she tries to block the assault of a physically stronger dragon.

The word szamha means ‘security; safety; protection’. I imagine the dragon Szamha will eventually get herself killed. At the very least she manages to alienate anyone that’s ever needed to defend their lair from intruders!
Damakei – Female CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Damakei is an excellent acrobat, seeming in perfect harmony with her sense of balance, performing feats slightly unusual even for her kind. She prides herself in a high awareness of her own body and has often asked friends to blindfold her and touch random parts of her body with a claw while making her guess the exact point. There are still a few blind spots on her inner map of herself that frustrate and perplex her for their stubbornly opaque nature, but she keeps trying to improve her understanding. Meanwhile, she trains every day to improve her balance, taking joy out of discovering new postures that take very little energy to maintain all the while looking quite adventurous.

This is a reference to a review left on Sovamak, which I used as a refresher on the forum to remind people that moderators sometimes incorporate comment spelling fixes while approving descriptions, and to take care about that. I wasn’t expecting an apology! Especially an anonymous one. This is awkward. :D

The word damakei (or rather, damake͡i) means ‘consciousness; awareness; self-awareness’. Rather than give her a description harkening to the obvious associations I had with those words (self-consciousness, chiefly, or perhaps an ability to make others reflect on their behaviour), I thought it would be great if I could apply this to her proprioception instead, ideally without using that word. The above description is the result!
Dasurmaak – Female Frozen CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Dasurmaak struggles to pay attention. A lot of what she does she’s prone to forgetting about, occasionally resulting in her taking actions several times in a row, such as cleaning herself. Strangely enough, she has no trouble remembering names or events that she witnesses – her forgetfulness seems to be confined purely to her own actions. The drake Geleira has taken to liking Dasurmaak, on the one hand mischievously enjoying how she constantly forgets that she’s already petted Geleira, on the other trying to help out by moving items involving completed tasks out of the way.

The word dasurmaak means ‘absent-minded; scatter-brained; forgetful; inattentive’. About halfway through my description of this frozen darling, I felt sorry for her and sought to give her a companion to help her out a bit, but Geleira wanted to be a bit more ambiguous in her helpfulness.
Vaashu – Male Frozen CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Vaashu would describe himself as cursed if anyone bothered asking. Anything he does seems to end in some kind of catastrophe – not out of clumsiness or incompetence, but out of sheer bad luck. That, at least, is what it feels like to him; onlookers are more likely to put the blame on him, if only because the misfortunes that tend to transpire around him strike them as unbelievable unless they’ve witnessed their occurrence themselves. The catastrophes Vaashu fabricates have left him cynical and passive, minimising his actions, and refusing any complex tasks outright.
- Accept:

While I consider this optional, I think it does read better with the comma, so I’m resubmitting with some rewording. Thanks, DT!

The word vaashu (or rather, vaas̈u) means ‘grave misfortune; cataclysm; catastrophe’. Since the dragon Vaashu is a frozen hatchling, I didn’t want to lean too far out of the cataclysm-window, so I went with personal catastrophes that’ve robbed him a will to participate in the world. Quite a sad story, really.
Amanoth – Male Frozen CB Azure Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Amanoth takes a curious liking to creatures not sapient but demonstrably sentient, and is known to fuss over them when given opportunity. Largely he leaves them to their own devices, but should he find a creature abandoned by circumstance, such as the eggs of a songbird slain by a raptor (or the eggs of a raptor slain by a dragon, for that matter – the supposed frailty of the species hardly matters to his perception), he’ll gather the creatures under his proverbial wing and raise them to best of his abilities.

The word amanoth means ‘caretaker; parent; guardian’, in the social connotation of the words. Giving him things to care about that couldn’t object much to his fussing seemed like the obvious thing to write as a description.
Sovamak – Male Frozen CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Sovamak is deeply suspicious of so-called ‘rational’ arguments. Convinced that instinct and emotion should play a strong role in dragon behaviour, he largely lives at instruction of his intangible subconscious thoughts. Bizarrely, this has yet to result in wildly errant behaviour; his friends are divided on whether this means he simply has an inherently odd set of instincts that are compatible with civilised behaviour, whether he’s cheating, or if they’re simply not around when he’s demonstrably crazy. Either way, his outlook seems to work for him, if not necessarily for anyone who tries to follow his example.
- Abstain: Civilised -> civilized, otherwise it looks good to me.
I appreciate the correction attempt (I really do, it’s super polite), but I’m to equal parts amused, because this is such an obvious derp on the side of the reviewer. I’d love to extend them a hug.

The word sovamak means ‘subconsciousness; subconscience; instinct; gut feeling; hunch’, which gave me an excellent opportunity to write a mild parody of my own philosophic take on reasonable behaviour. To contrast: Sovamak takes matters a bit further than I would by being sceptical of rational arguments, whereas I just feel that they ought to be supplemented and brought to agreement with emotions. I can still empathise with his mistrust, though.
Neivash – Ungendered Frozen CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Neivash has an uncanny ability to remember even trivial events. While ver memory is not photographic by a long shot and ve would struggle to recall the precise wording from a conversation just like anyone else, ve’s memories just don’t seem to deteriorate over time once established. Ve can tell you about the sequence of events from some mundane happenstance lying an arbitrary number of years in the past just as easily as ve could narrate the same of something that happened only a few hours ago. This trait has made ver about as many enemies as it has friends, of course, as not everyone likes to be eternally reminded about their failings, even in a roundabout way; ve does not intentionally hurt anyone’s feelings, but ve can get carried away by the sheer delight inherent to simply knowing with certainty how events truly transpired.
- Accept: Very nice, but did you intend to keep the “ve/ver“s instead of changing them to other pronouns… -MC1
Yes. :)

The word neivash means ‘memory’; it has no symbolic connotation but refers to actual information stored in a mind. The obvious cue here was to let Neivash be good at remembering things and in this case I was entirely happy to indulge in the obvious slant.
Sesaka – Female Frozen CB Jade Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Much to her chagrin, Sesaka’s behaviour is frequently opaque – not only to others, but to herself as well. It’s a mystery to everyone why she occasionally loses her composure over minor quibbles but can just as well be entirely calm through storms of verbal abuse. Similarly, there seems to be no deterministic way to make her happy, and she occasionally appears chillingly flippant when one would expect her to grieve. None of this would pose much of a problem, she suspects, if she were at least consistently off kilter, but four times out of five she reacts as one would expect. The frequency of her unexpected behaviour has left her very nearly without friends, owing to the distress she’s caused them. Despite her own best efforts to control her behaviour, true self-control continues to elude her, something that frustrates her… four times out of five.
- Accept: Very nice indeed. -MC1
- Accept: There’s nothing wrong, but a large chunk of it reads kind of like a vocab list-in-prose
…I don’t even know what a list-in-prose is supposed to be. Unless they’re terrible at punctuation and mean ‘vocabulary list, in prose’? In which case, I’m sorry I broke your wee brain, reviewer. XD Thanks for the indirect compliment.

The word sesaka means ‘mystery; puzzle; enigma’, which I was originally going to write about in a less negative way, but ran away with me a little. From the description I now have, I strongly assume Sesaka is not quite neurotypical. Poor dear. :(
Rarresh – Male CB Ruby Gemshard
Accepted sometime before 23.06.2015.
Rarresh, himself weaker than even the average gemshard due to circumstances of his upbringing, has long since – illegitimately and with some trickery – wormed his way into the heart of the magma dragon Sumendir, who protects his unlikely gemshard protégé with his life. While Rarresh is not foolish enough to boast of his control of his protector’s actions to others, he nonetheless transparently holds considerable sway over the magma, and has at times made the dragon do the one or other foolish thing simply to test his persuasive abilities. Nonetheless, he would not harm Sumendir or any other dragon; his mischievous, manipulative streak does not extend into maliciousness outright. Were any ill to befall Sumendir, Rarresh would hardly forgive himself.
This description was accepted sometime before 21.06.2015, but the és in protégé got butchered, so I had to resubmit the description:
Rarresh, himself weaker than even the average gemshard due to circumstances of his upbringing, has long since – illegitimately and with some trickery – wormed his way into the heart of the magma dragon Sumendir, who protects his unlikely gemshard protege with his life. While Rarresh is not foolish enough to boast of his control of his protector’s actions to others, he nonetheless transparently holds considerable sway over the magma, and has at times made the dragon do the one or other foolish thing simply to test his persuasive abilities. Nonetheless, he would not harm Sumendir or any other dragon; his mischievous, manipulative streak does not extend into maliciousness outright. Were any ill to befall Sumendir, Rarresh would hardly forgive himself.
I didn’t really want to describe dragons in 2015 because the description system had accrued a massive backlog, outright looking like an abandoned site feature, but my gemshard naming convention created such a strong urge that I couldn’t resist the temptation.
My gemshards are all named after words in my kraiaKy conlang, kendaneivash. Generally speaking, my ruby gemshards have negative concepts associated with them, my jade gemshards have neutral concepts associated with them, and my azure gemshards have positive concepts associated with them.
The word rarresh means ‘puppet-master; puppeteer; manipulator’. You can see what I turned that into.

Since I write a lot of vampire descriptions, these have their own page. For an overview of all approved dragon descriptions I’ve written, check out Dragon Descriptions.
Montague
Count Secundus – Male CB Montague vampire (2G)
Accepted sometime before 23.01.2014.
As the first pure childe of the Montague line of vampires, Count Secundus is deeply proud of his vampiric heritage and a staunch defender of the Montague ideals in public perception. Normally considering himself far too refined for acts of violence, his precious composure snaps like a meagre twig in vicinity of any identified Capulet, hunting them until he’s either irreversibly lost their trail (after which he’ll be in a foul mood for days) or until he’s given himself the pleasure of slitting their throat. Of course, this doesn’t keep a Capulet down any more than it would knock any other Vampire out of stride, but the symbolic value of the gesture keeps Count Secundus content… and his sire quite displeased – if he were not her first childe, she would have him disowned for his two-faced behaviour.
- Accept: *shudders* (I really dislike the e on Montagu, but I do know it’s optional.)
- Accept: Very nice! ~D
- Accept:
The first Montague egg from The Count Project grew up into a proud male vampire. :) I wanted to contribute more to the project than just biting eggs, so I wrote a description for this two-faced little bastard. <3
Count Daedalus – Male CB Montague vampire (2G)
Accepted sometime before 23.01.2014.
Count Daedalus is the second pure childe of the Montague line of vampires and a hunting companion of Count Secundus. The two have a relationship much akin to brothers despite their bloodline technically being separate, with Secundus a childe of Countess Montague and Daedalus a childe of Count Montague. Daedalus tolerates his ‘brother’s’ mood-swings, helping him cover up the worst of his slips of civilised behaviour out of amicable generosity – and because his own neck is on the line, since his sire has on a few select occasions insinuated that he’s responsible of keeping Secundus in line. This is especially true if the backlash might tarnish the reputation of the family as a whole, which would never be tolerated.
- Accept:
- Accept: I would correct “child” but a quick Google search implied that it’s used sometimes with vampires, so I assume that’s what you mean. :) ~D
- Accept:
The second Montague egg from The Count Project was influenced male for me (thank you, Count!) since I mentioned I had a preference for the male sprite and the egg was still waiting to go to a loving home a while into being bitten. Again, I wanted to contribute more to the project than just biting eggs, so I wrote another description.
Countess Azel – Female CB Montague Vampire (4G)
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.
For all her distance in bloodline to Count Montague, Countess Azel is nonetheless a pure Montague at heart. She takes all the purported ideals of the family literally and adheres to the spirit of the (unspoken) law, even treating Capulets she comes across with respect as long as they don’t try to physically attack her. While this stubborn adherence to family values comes across as patronising to some, Azel truly believes it virtuous and means no harm to vampire kind with her point of view. Her outlook has Count Secundus in particular sneering at her behind his back – but perhaps he doesn’t realise just how cunning and cruel she can be when pushed just the right way, when her so precious composure finally snaps, however exceedingly rare the event. Nonetheless, she’s one of the weaker Montagues, largely owing to her lack of thralls and tendency to inoffensively mooch off those of other Montagues, giving her no steady source of power, forcing her rely chiefly on the element of surprise.
- Accept:
- Accept:
- Accept: Great! ~D
- Abstain: *to rely. Other than that, it is good. =)
…oh crap. XD I totally missed that and there are only two characters I can use left… welp, time to rewrite.

This description took me longer than it should have to write, but it’s the third Montague on my scroll to be described (which at the time of writing completed my Montague descriptions, meaning I’d caught up with the Count Project description backlog).
Countess Demonne – Female CB Montague Vampire (4G)
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.
Countess Demonne takes her name not from demons of lore as some might suspect, but from her debating skill and her habit of ending a soft-spoken but lengthy exposition with the words ‘quod erat demonstrandum’. Quick-witted, silver-tongued and often underestimated in a social context, Demonne’s primary shortfall is her regrettably obvious physical inferiority relative to the average vampire. This fact has left her with no rank of note within her clan, though this has not chipped at her pride. Her sire, Count Leroy, keeps her integrated amongst the Montagues and grants her the occasional intellectual task, having learnt to deal with her excessive nitpicking out of appreciation for her thorough execution.
- Accept: Love it!
- Accept:
- Accept: Looks good to me. :) ~D
Yet another Montague description! This dragon’s code is QiDME and I immediately had to think of q.e.d. when I saw it. As such, I genuinely picked the name Demonne as a pun-tastic shorthand for demonstrandum.
Countess Fuchsia – Female EG Montague Vampire (2G)
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.
Countess Fuchsia is a proud second-generation Montague vampire, enjoying a high status within the family as the fourth childe of the Countess Montague. She runs her own branch of the family as a loose matriarchy. Despite a predominant taste in woman, she’s taken long-term interest in Count Daedalus, enjoying his outward diplomatic manner… and of course his ‘equal’ status in the family, making him a valuable asset to her.
She takes interest in racing events, keeping a ‘stable’ of cruelly tamed hellhorses deliberately stunted in their intellectual growth for her personal pleasure, their aggression channelled into rule-free, brutal races against each other. These don’t always proceed in a strictly linear fashion and often end with wounds or even casualties to deal with after the fact. It’s her way to disassociate with her lineage, being initially born of hellhorse parents herself, now viciously denouncing their kind as mere animals.
- Accept: Nice -
- Abstain: child not childe
Guess someone doesn’t know vampire lore :)
- Accept: Good job! ~D
My fifth Montague, described on the day she bit her first egg. <3 She turned out quite a bit darker than I even intended, but I’m not objecting. :)
Non-Montague
Grin Grim – Undercover Janitor – Female Vampire
Accepted sometime before 15.10.2013.
Grin Grim fears for her reputation as a vampire. Whenever she knows others to be nearby, she maintains her facade of a hissing, cunning beast, but the moment the cave in her close vicinity is vacant, she indulges in her true obsession: Cleaning. Everything must be meticulously spotless, polished, sorted and categorised – and oh, how necessary it is! She doesn’t think to reprimand anyone about litter left behind; not only would that blow her cover, but it genuinely doesn’t occur to her – after all, it lets her clean, and there’s nothing she’d rather be doing.
Of course, owing to that the metamorphosis from filthy to clean cave does not go unnoticed, most other dragons have long since caught on to her unusual obsession and cherish her for her household fervour, but out of respect for her evident shame about her atypical behaviour don’t address her directly. Instead, they simply try to be as polite and helpful to her as her alter ego allows.
- Accept: Yay for corrections :) -H
- Accept: Interesting :) ~PG
- Accept:
- Accept: Lowercase “Cleaning”. ~D
Grin Grim was my first vampire, gifted to me on the condition I give her a silly name. One evening I was looking for a mental distraction, and seized upon the opportunity to give her an equally silly (but faithful!) description, and this is the result.
Countess Raccolta – Female 3G Montague vampire (3G)
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Amongst the Montagues, Countess Raccolta considers herself something of an independant spirit. Perhaps owing to her sire’s seclusion, she feels no particular bond to the family itself, despite holding its core tenets dear.
Dominant in personality, Countess Raccolta prefers landscapes that have been tamed to those that run wild. She’s known to stalk the edges of human vineyards, hoping other dragons might wander that way out of curiosity or similar appreciation. Once they do, she’ll watch them for hours, striking purely when they move to leave – a game she plays as much with them as with herself, curbing her hunger as long as she’s capable of it, simply to prove herself in control of her own destiny.
- Accept:
- Accept: Very nice! ~D
- Accept:
- Abstain: spelling: independent
Good grief, and everyone else missed the typo. XD (Including Reh and myself.) Arrgh. Time to resubmit!

My sixth Montague, and the sixth Montague of mine to be described, is an homage to her own lineage – a silver-harvest checker. From the metallic component, I took her independence (which was only reinforced by her sire’s description), and from the harvest component I took her love for vineyards.
Her Paleness Aru’ak – Female 4G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Her Paleness Aru’ak is obsessed with vivid colours, finding her own discolouration unfortunate. Occasionally, she can be seen with bright purple and blue markings decorating her forelimbs, an homage to her lineage of lively colours. She’s theorised that it might even be best if she took this on as a permanent habit, expanding it to the rest of her body, as the deep purples and blues might provide much better camouflage for her hunt after nightfall than her light skin.

I felt like describing madame Paleness one day – generally, I love my vampires very much and so I figured maybe I shouldn’t just be describing the Montagues. :)
Bitten Apple – Male 4G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Bitten Apple appreciates non-vampiric dragons to the point where he’s willing to go out of his way to make them comfortable. As a general rule, unless completely starved, he will only feed from the willing – and prior to doing so will often feed his ‘victims’, as well as attempt to be exceptionally good company. He has a particular fascination with fruit and is especially happy to spend his nights gathering them for fructivore dragons. Even most of the stories he tells are fairy tales that rank around fruit – magical, poisoned, illusionary or otherwise pivotal. With rich variation in the rest of the narrative, he’s made a name for himself as a story-teller – and as they are passed on, this de-facto signature often makes them recognisably his.
- Accept:
- Accept: Nice :) -H
- Accept: Looks good to me. :) ~D
- Abstain: it’s frugivorous ! for fruit eaters —- illusionary?
Humm, frugivorous does seem to be more common a term; but I’m not tempted to change it. That being said, I have no idea what the user’s question is about. :)

I like this fellow. I wanted the description to reference his puntastic name somehow, and I think this about fits the bill! :)
Crimson Resurrection – Male 4G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Crimson Resurrection has a taste in the borderline unobtainable. A mediocre swimmer despite his valiant attempts to increase his skill in the matter, he thirsts for the blood of sea serpents, claiming a distinct, pleasant bitter tinge to their viscous blood that he’s particularly fond of. His vampire kin suggest that he might be better off simply dusting the necks of nicely paralysed land-bound dragons with spices to same effect, but he’ll have none of that. His mate, Silvermoon Sa’ar, is apprehensive about his habits, fearing that he might one day misjudge his capabilities and succumb to a second death beneath the waves.

It was surprisingly difficult to figure out something to write about this fellow, but the idea of a vampire dragon hunting for deepseas and water dragons was just too good to pass on once I had that mental image.
Silvermoon S’aar – Female 4G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Silvermoon S’aar is a quiet dragon, fond of her habits and easily deterred by change. As such, it came as quite a surprise to others when she took Crimson Resurrection as her mate, a vampire dragon known for bizarre hunting stunts well outside the vampiric norm. Some have the theory that in having such an eccentric mate, the worst of her worries are bundled and focussed, making it much easier for her to push them aside and relax – after all, Crimson Resurrection is an adult and can probably handle himself.
- Accept: focused
Sigh. This is going to keep happening, isn’t it? 8D “focussed” is fine, people, look it up.
- Accept: Not bad. :) ~D
- Accept:

Given I made a reference to Silvermoon S’aar in Crimson Resurrection’s description, I figured I might as well give her a description, too.
Vampire the Undead – Male 2G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Vampire the Undead appears to be a bit linguistically challenged. His compulsion of swapping nouns and adjectives around in his speech causes quite a headache in anyone that tries to deal with him. Fortunately, however, he’s peaceful and amicable for a vampire, which allows other dragons to appreciate him… as long as he keeps his mouth shut.

- Accept: nice :) -H

- Reject: elipses are not used in this manner
Am admittedly unlikely to take questionable advice from people who cannot spell ‘ellipses’. ;)
- Accept:
- Accept:
Short and sweet, this description came about as a direct homage to the vampire’s name, which in turn is a direct homage to his parents’ names: Sunstone the Female and Moonstone the Male. Clearly the speech impediment runs in the family.
Bad Chemistry – Female 3G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Bad Chemistry finds herself frequently dismayed at her inability to pass the gift of vampirism to pygmy dragons and drakes. From her perspective, the worst that can happen to a starving vampire is a state of torpor – something they can always be awakened from – while a starving dragon of the regular kind has no such benefit. Instead, it faces death and decay, notions that deeply unsettle her. Of course, vampires can be killed just as well, she argues, but according to her it takes a dimwitted fool to die passively when blessed with vampiric undeath. When adult dragons deny her the right to grant their children not yet hatched her so-called ‘improved immortality’, she often loses her temper, accusing them of short-sightedness in their protectiveness.

From a literary perspective, I think this might be my weakest description, but I do like the story it tells.
Putrid Gold – Male 4G vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Part of Arielle Lemieux’s branch of the Immolator vampire clan, Putrid Gold has a masochistic fascination with the oil of turpentine dragons. The worse the burn, the more he enjoys it etching at his skin, and thus can often be seen stroking the wings of turpentine dragons complacent enough to tolerate his presence until his arms are lathered with the substance, only to lounge somewhere and simply indulge in the sensation. Even if pressed he would hardly describe it as a pleasant feeling, but that observation puts no damper on his addiction to it.
Some dragons underestimate him for the hours he wastes in that trance-like state of purely self-inflicted pain, but he’s a swift beast and all too keen in sharing the feeling with the victims of his vampirism, caressing their muzzles with oil-covered claws… and occasionally dragging those same claws punishingly through scales, increasing the sting tenfold.

- Accept:
- Accept: Interesting. o_O ~D
- Accept: Woah – nice idea a “cutter” dragon :) -H

Hnnngh; this is clearly the best possible use for turpentine dragon oil. It’s also the first Immolator reference I wrote. (Mercurian Steele, Narayan Steele and Arielle Lemieux were all being difficult at this point in time and not wanting to be written. You’d think it’d be easy, given they’re all Nightchilder characters, but alas…)
Count Lacerat – Male 3G Montague vampire (4G)
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Socially quite distant to the core Montague family, infected by the independence and rural lifestyle of his sire, Count Lacerat is wholly smitten with Count Secundus. While he certainly recognises that physical aggression is not the Montague way and himself prefers subterfuge and manipulation to teeth and claws when interacting with the average dragon, he’s convinced the Capulets deserve to be treated according to their own wretched ideals. In practise he poses little danger to the members of the Capulet line crossing his path, whom he simply avoids… but woe to those Montagues he suspects to be Capulet spies. It’s those he would incapacitate and torture if given a chance.
- Accept: Nice :) -H
- Accept: Great! ~D
- Accept:
- Abstain: distant from (not to) —-
That strikes me as a little nitpicky. I’m keeping my wording. :)
- Accept:
My little vigilante Montague… more dangerous to his fellow Montagues than he is for the Capulets. Go figure.
Mercurian Steele – Male CB vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Mercurian and Narayan Steele lead the Immolators clan of vampires as brothers. The clan subsists on pain and fear, albeit neither those of its opponents nor as a means of subjugation. Instead, it’s held together by the belief that in the near-immortality granted by undeath, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, embracing a masochistic lifestyle as a means to relentless self-improvement.
Mercurian complements his brother’s social grace and diplomacy with swift judgement and brute strength, viewing himself as a protector of his kin, merciless toward those who would declare themselves their enemy. Jovial but capricious, even his clan mates know to be wary of him. Those who would seek to oppose him would do well not to underestimate his intelligence, however – he may be the muscle, but he’s difficult to outwit. Should someone truly best him, he may be in no hurry to cash in on his grudge… but he never forgets. Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

It took much longer than I wanted, but I finally managed to hash out a description for my Nightchilder/Ravenblack homage Mercurian Steele. There’s much more that can be said about Mercurian, who is a complex character with a fierce temper but some glaring emotional weaknesses, easy to goad into violence and political missteps, but this is about as much as can be said in that small a space.
Narayan Steele – Male CB vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
If pressed, Narayan Steele would consider himself something of an accountant; perhaps an ambassador. One might presume the leader of the Immolator clan of vampires to jest with such statements, but in truth he’s an earnest believer in that leadership is an act of subservience, not of dominance. It’s that point of view that makes him the true centrepiece of the clan, of course, and gives him his reach – it’s Narayan the others come to in trust, not his co-leader and brother, Mercurian.
Keeping relations to other clans or families in strict neutrality, Narayan is renowned for a way with diplomatic words. However, despite his caution with strangers, some acquaintances might discover his vibrant mischievous streak, often when they least expect it – though should they take any genuine harm, he’d hardly forgive himself.
Pure pacifist that he is, Narayan’s most chilling moments are those in which he merely steps back, choosing not to intervene in his brother’s feral cruelty.

I initially thought of copying over the Immolators description for Narayan, but it’s not actually as important to his personality what the clan is about and leaving it out let me use more of the precious space to describe Narayan himself – something that looks like it was a good decision. :)
Arielle Lemieux – Female CB vampire
Accepted sometime before 21.06.2015.
Arielle Lemieux also answers to ‘Aranel’ and leads a branch of the Immolator clan of vampires away from their core territory, answering directly to Mercurian and Narayan Steele – assuming something needs to be discussed. A wholly independent spirit, Aranel is frequently out of touch with the true leaders, but she’s so deeply rooted in the philosophies sustaining it that she’s effortlessly become an informal third co-leader of the clan despite her long absences.
Her personality is borderline flamboyant – extroverted and flirtatious, she has some qualities of a femme fatale, but her uncompromising honesty would make it difficult for anyone to be led astray. She likes it that way; she certainly wouldn’t want anyone to get any wrong impressions.
Despite her personality, she follows after Narayan’s philosophy of leadership, believing herself a servant of her people first and foremost, pouring most of her vibrant enthusiasm into efforts toward the good of the clan.

At last, the final Immolator leadership description is written. Arielle’s a minor NPC in the Immolator plotline of Nightchilder, but her status as the de-facto third clan leader is nonetheless accurate. Since she’s not been played all that much in Nightchilder canon, the above description is actually quite exhaustive when it comes to her personality.
