I have also dabbled in the black arts of Prolog and Lisp, and we won't even mention Assembler. I am an avid fencer, sabreur by choice, and compete regularly when I'm not recovering from the injuries caused by fencing on pre-existing injuries. In a similar vein, I am fascinated by all things sharp, and so decorate my abode with swords, and practice knife throwing. One of the products of my over-active imagination is The Dragon Rwrylsin. Because I am very fond of the name, I sometimes use it as an alias on MUDs and newsgroups.
Dragons are all-powerful sentients, and extremely terretorial.
They like to have their own way, and enjoy being effectively omnipotent. They don't like things that get in their way, expecially if those things can't be incinerated on the spot. As a result they will go out of their way to avoid their fellow-Dragons and Dragon births are extremely rare. As Dragons are effectively immortal, this low birth rate is not a problem. They carve out sections of the galaxy to call their own, and then play godgames with the local planets, constantly searching for new knowledge and pastimes with which to fill eternity.
