DA - CB Magis

## DA - Hermione CB

Hermione is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium**.

She has proven herself to be a very promising student but she often clashes with her teacher because they have such a different outlook on life in general and magic especially. The fact that Hermione not only tries but at least partly succeeds in translating Delirium's ramblings and intuitions into cold hard formula and spells bears evidence to her organized mind and devotion to logic.

It's needless to say that she's not too popular with the other apprentices who think of her as a bit stuck up.

## DA - Rincewind CB

Rincewind is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium**.

Unfortunately he is not a very talented mage. He shares this attribute with his friend **Shmedrik** and the both dragons decided to try different approaches to overcome their difficulties. Rincewind tries everything to understand the reasons and laws behind magic and spells, believing that if he can only comprehend completely he will be able to master magic. He only wishes that he could shake the feeling that there might be no logic to comprehend at all.

Luckily for him the star pupil **Hermione** has taken more than a passing interest in him and even if he's not good at magic she loves his analytical mind. The two are now mated.

## DA - Galadriel CB

Galadriel is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium**.

She is neither the most nor the least talented of Delirium's students and neither is her mate **Radagast** who came with her to stay at her side and not as much because he wanted to study.

In her youth Galadriel was rebellious and wild always playing with the black and hellfire hatchlings but now she has calmed down and is content to study magic at her own pace.

## DA - Radagast CB

Radagast is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium**.

He is neither the most nor the least talented of Delirium's students and neither is his mate **Galadriel** who he followed to Delirium's realm to stay at her side and not because he wanted to study.

When Galadriel is studying magic he often wanders off to study the birds or fly with them. A stricter teacher than Delirium might have sent him off already and he knows how lucky he is to be allowed to stay, so every once in a while he forces himself to spend a whole day on studying to earn his place as her student.

## DA - Esmeralda CB

Esmeralda is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess** **Delirium**.

Esme as her friends call her is the only one of Delirium's students who is never confused by their teacher's antics. She is so sure of herself and her place in the world that not even the trips to the astral plane where everything is different and disorientating can shake her. She always makes ascerbic comments about her fellow students as she thinks **Hermione'**s approach to magic is too limited and simple and **Shmendrik'**s raw talent will be dangerous if not reigned in. If asked she will call all the other magis fools - even their teacher.

Underneath her harsh exterior she cares deeply for everyone, not only in their close-tied group but all dragons in the clan and will do everything necessary to protect them.

## DA - Shmendrik CB

Shmendrik is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium**.

Unfortunately he is not a very talented mage. He shares this attribute with his friend **Rincewind** and both dragons decided to try different approaches to overcome their difficulties. Shmendrik decided to follow Delirium's example and tries to master magic through intuition and raw emotion. His biggest problem is that the remains of the teachings of his first teacher still are stuck in his head, always nagging at the back of his mind insisting that he has to stick to the rules and laws dictated by the lore. He is close to giving up, despairing in the feeling that he is some kind of anti-magi dragon, even less talented than the black dragons he knows.

Delirium still vehemently claims that he will be the most successful of her students if only he can let go of old misconceptions.

## DA - Zanthara CB

Zanthara is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium**.

She is quite pretty even for a magi dragon and other dragons often underestimate her power. The fact that she specializes in pretty illusions only aid that misconception.

For most of her life she used her magic to entertain and she might have been content that way if she had never met **Mandrake** who taught her that their powers should be used for good. Following Mandrake she began to study in earnest, but she will only ever let other magis see her power. To the rest of the clan she and her mate are and always will be entertainers.

## DA - Mandrake CB

Mandrake is one of many magi dragons who came to the clan to learn from the ancient **Princess Delirium.**

He specializes in pretty illusions and for most of his life he used his magic to entertain. However as a young wandering dragon he came upon a group of villagers attacking a helpless little mint dragon shouting things like 'Slay the foul beast!' Mandrake used his illusions to summon the image of a fierce red in place of the little mint and the cowardly humans fled.

Ever since then he tried to use his magic to help whenever possible. He joined Delirium's academy to learn more about magic than 'just' illusions and has convinced his mate **Zanthara** to join him there.

## DA - Rowena  CB

Rowena is a clever dragoness with a dry sense of humour and a love for mathematics. Her best friends among her fellow students are **Hermione**, **Esme** and **Baba Jaga** since she values intelligence far more than outward appearance and the four of them meet bi-weekly to exchange riddles and problems and talk about interesting things outside their specific fields of studies. Her own specialty are charms and spells that afflict the mind and she's currently experimenting with intelligence enhancing potions.

## DA - Salazar  CB

Salazar is a cunning and clever dragon and hopes to become a leader of his own coven of magis one day. He is generally well-liked among the other students of **Delirium** as he does his best to keep on their good sides. His major rival is of course **Merlinikus**, who is quite ambitious himself. Salazar respects that but he still enjoys **Mim**'s and **Morigania'**s taunts of the other male.

His own specialty is the brewing of potions and he has recently started to work with **Rowena** to help her with her latest experiments. He enjoys her company tremendously and thinks of approaching her with the offer of a life-mating.

## DA - Helga  CB

Helga's talent for magic is mediocre at best  at least for a magi dragon. Yet she is one of **Delirium'**s best students because she puts more effort into her studies than even **Rowena**. Helga is a humble and modest dragoness who attaches more importance to the willingness to learn and work than in talent or high birth and she is willing to help every other student if they ask and really want her help. This has made her very popular among the other magi dragons.

Helga has a terrible crush on **Godric** and hopes that he will notice her as a possible mate despite her average appearance. The fact that she doesn't see his less desirable traits and worships the ground he walks on, might work in her favour since this flatters the male's rather vain ego.

## DA - Godric  CB

Godric is talented enough to have entered Delirium's academy at a very young age. He is courageous, daring and charming. Sadly though he can be quite arrogant, boastful and vain when it comes to his good traits and has little tolerance or compassion for those different from him.

He has tried several times to convince **Rowena** that **Salazar** isn't good enough for her, which has led to quite some tension between him and the other male. While a lot of the females are pretty taken with his charms Rowena agrees with her friend **Esme** that 'brave's just a nice word for dumb' and has no intentions to ever acknowledge Godric's advances.

Some of the older students hope that age will mellow Godric and he will let go of his less desirable traits to become a truly great dragon.

## DA - Black Aliss  CB

Black Aliss is a very powerful transfigurator and has therefore earned herself a place among Delirium's students. But that's not what she is most famous for among her fellow students, no that would be her absolutely terrible spelling.

Aliss writes 'loose' when she means 'lose', 'desert' when she means 'dessert', 'bee' when she means 'be' and so on. This makes most of her notes quite confusing and has let to many a back-fired spell when she uses scrolls.

She thinks frill dragons seek out adventure and danger, vines love to complain about stuff, electric dragons have many sides to them and that horse dragons have a problem with their throats.

Aliss kind of lives in a world of her own.

## DA - Belgarath  CB

Belgarath loves to tell tales, he often chases after beautiful dragonesses and he shares **Constantine'**s love for intoxicating herbs and fermented fruit. Some say his irresponsible behaviour is the consequence of a great loss he never got over. Others - who know him better - say he's been this way long before he lost anything. Nevertheless he is a beloved and respected disciple of **Delirium** and although he spends most of his time fooling around he will always be there if his mistress has need for his talents and expertise.

## DA - Tara Maclay  CB

Tara is not as talented as some of her fellow students but she always listens to the teachings of her elders and therefore knows more about the techniques and theories than most. Tara is very wise for her small number of years and her knowledge is always tethered in by compassion. Sadly though she is terribly shy, so she almost never speaks up if she thinks some other dragon makes a mistake.

Most of the times Tara tries to hide from the other students too afraid that they will make fun of her mental stutter, her appearance or her -conceived- lack of talent.

## DA - Copperfield  CB

Copperfield thinks of himself as a very handsome male. He is so fixated on his appearance that he even experimented with spells to darken his scales to a shade more akin to copper than the usual bright orange of his species. This spells were of little success however and only slightly diminished the brightness of his scales.

Still most other dragons find his unnatural skin colour and his constant smiling a bit creepy.

Copperfield studies mostly with **Zanthara** and **Mandrake** to learn the art of illusion but hasn't yet reached the level of skill displayed by them or their son **Houdini**.

## DA - Laeral Silverhand  CB

Laeral Silverhand was adopted as an egg and named upon hatching by **Mystra** - a quite delusional dragoness, who named her to be one of **seven sisters**. Despite the influence of a mad adopted mother and the sadistic nature of her adopted father Laeral grew up to be a sensible, responsible and nice dragoness.

After growing up around the students of Delirium's academy - especially her parents - Laeral knew instinctively how dangerous chaos and magic in general could be and does her best to keep her own talent under strict control and only use it for the good of the clan.

Recently she mated with **Khelben** and she's one of the few he trusts with his true nature. Together the two make formidable guardians of the academy and the clan.

## DA - Khelben  Arunsun  CB

Khelben is known to most of his peers as a very serious magi. While it is true that he can be very stern and strict with the younger students at Delirium's academy he is in fact quite gentle and has a quiet sense of humour that he almost never lets anyone see. He has found it a lot easier to deal with other dragons if they think him inaccessible and maybe a bit frightening.

Khelben does his best to protect the academy and the clan of dragons it belongs to and helps to keep up order among the ranks of the somewhat chaotic group of magis. This has put him into a friendly sort of rivalry to **Elminster** and some of the other more free-spirited members of the academy but he doesn't mind too much as long as he knows that he gets his work done - and done well at that.

Khelben almost always carries around a big black staff that he uses as a focus for his magical spells.

## DA - Alustriel Silverhand  CB

Alustriel Silverhand was adopted as an egg and named upon hatching by **Mystra** a quite delusional dragoness, who named her to be one of **seven sisters**. Despite the influence of a mad adopted mother and the sadistic nature of her adopted father Alustriel grew up to be a wise and loving dragoness. She has more in common with her 'sister' **Laeral** than with any other dragon in the academy or the whole clan - so maybe Mystra's ramblings about the chosen seven have at least some basis.

Alustriel is gentler and more soft-spoken than her sister Laeral and is more interested in healing than in control. Her character allows her to be friends with the more unstable magis of the academy and if there's one source of tension between the two it's their choice of mates since Laeral and **Harpell** don't get along and neither do Alustriel and **Khelben**.

## DA - Harkell Harpell  CB

Harkell Harpell - well one could say he 'specializes' in chaos magic. That would of course imply that he chose this particular path and studies to master it. The truth - if there is truth of any kind in such matters - is that chaos chose him. For nobody masters chaos in the same way that nobody masters the night or the sun or in the case of Harkell not even one's own heart.

Harkell never had a very strong will or discipline of the mind and therefore his magic often has unwanted and unforeseen side effects. He came to **Delirium** since the supreme magi has at least mastered the art of channeling chaos mostly into desired effects and more importantly the art of living with the consequences of channeling raw magic. Harkell hopes that one day he will learn to live at ease with all the forms his magic takes and to reign in the more dangerous effects.

## DA - Sylune  CB

Sylune was adopted as an egg and named
Anastra Silverhand upon hatching by **Mystra** a quite delusional dragoness,
who named her to be one of **seven sisters**. Despite the influence of a mad adopted mother and the sadistic nature of her adopted father Anastra grew up to be a caring and compassionate dragoness.
When Anastra reached adulthood she chose to go by the name of Sylune rather
than using the surname of 'Silverhand' that marked her as a 'Sister'.
Sylune's speciality is protective magic and her powers rise and wane
with the moon - so that during the 3 nights of the full moon she is
nearly invincible while she is pretty vulnerable during the new moon.

Sylune
has chosen a dale close to Delirium's academy as her home and protects
all creatures there from evil and harm - even going so far as to hunt
elsewhere herself. No one knows why she chose this dale but all the
dragons agree that it's a lovely place with shadowy groves and as
perfect as a peaceful haven could be.

## DA - Vangerdahast  CB

Vangerdahast is a shrewd dragon who has
studied magic for a long time. One of his first teachers was **Elminster**
and for a long times they were good friends. But at some point in time
the two dragons had a falling out and now they are barely on speaking
terms. No other dragon knows or remembers what that falling out has beenabout and neither Vangerdahast nor Elminster will talk about it.

As
the years mature Vangerdahast has found that his rather stout build now
tends toward the chubby and his keen intellect and interest in
intelligence has turned into a mild paranoia and control obsession. He
has worked with **Nick Fury'**s defense force but the guardian dragon had
him cut off from all important descisions when the magi tried to build
his own network of informants inside the group of spies loyal to the
clan. So nowadays Vangerdahast depends wholly on scrying spells to keep
informed a bout what's happening in the lands around the academy.

## DA - Storm Silverhand  CB

Storm Silverhand was adopted as an egg and
named upon hatching by **Mystra** a quite delusional dragoness, who named
her to be one of **seven sisters**. Despite the influence of a mad adopted
mother and the sadistic nature of her adopted father, Storm grew up to
become a beloved member of Delirium's academy. In fact Storm's only goal
in life is to be loved. She doesn't desire power, she doesn't try to
amass riches for her hoard. She just wants to be loved - by each and
every dragon in existence.

Storm is well
renowned as having one of the most pleasing singing 'voices' among the
clan and channels all her magic through her songs. Without words her
songs are still eerily beautiful and dragons and humans alike are held
captive by her melodies.

## DA - Tenser  CB

Tenser is a polite and outgoing dragon and is a member of the so called '**Circle'** inside Delirium's academy. The number of Delirium's students has grown and grown over the years and so naturally cliques and circles have formed from the '**Sisters'**, to the '**Coven'**, the transfigurators, the illusionists and the chaos mages, and the 'Circle' has one clear goal - to keep each of the groups in balance and stop any student from getting too much power.

While Tenser has clear ideas about right and wrong and naturally has favourites among his fellow students, he also knows that power corrupts and therefore he rather keeps his friends from power than seeing them turn into something he couldn't stand.

## DA - Samantha  CB

Samantha is a dragoness of rather simple taste. While she has studied
under **Delirium** she has decided to leave the academy for a simpler form
of life. This decision had brought her much grief with some of her old
friends **Endora** more than anyone else. Yet she still stands by her
decision and handles every intrusion by her old friends on her new life
with a good bit of humour and if that fails some stoic stubbornness.

## DA - Mordenkainen  CB

Since the number of Delirium's students has grown and grown over the years and naturally cliques and circles have formed from the '**Sisters'**, to the '**Coven'**, the transfigurators, the illusionists and the chaos mages, Mordenkainen has taken it upon himself to keep the various factions balanced and stopping individual dragons - like Merlinikus - from getting too powerful. For this purpose he has formed the '**Circle'** recruiting other dragons like **Tenser** or **Albus** to his cause.

Mordenkainen can be stubborn and difficult but keeps himself reigned in to achieve his goal of an equilibrium of power.

## DA - Pam Q  CB

Pam is a rather curious mix of a dragoness. She is the most potent
psychic among the students of Delirium's academy. She converses with
Shadow Walkers, isn't afraid to tread the lairs of Cave Lurkers or
Vampire Dragons and it's rumoured that she has glimpses of future events
from time to time. Traditionally Magi Dragons with such a closeness to
the other side of the veil are a bit reclusive or seem odd to other
dragons who have all claws firmly in this reality, but not so PamÂ Â she
lives life to the fullest, enjoying wild music, intoxicating herbs and
flirting with any good-looking dragon she might encounter.

## DA - Rack  CB

Rack is a black sheep among the students of
Delirium's academy. As a young dragon he has found a spell that allows
him to bind the magic life essence of dragons together for a short time
and this spell has a rather intoxicating effect on the dragons involved.
While at first he only used the spell to get pleasure out of it he soon
discovered that he was able to steal the energy of other dragons while
under spell. The 'partner' usually doesn't discover this because of the
spell induced 'high' and can even get addicted to be under the influence
of Rack's magic.

Rack has used this to keep in a constant supply of magic energy without the need to study or work for it.

## DA - The Simbul  CB

The Simbul was adopted as an egg and named
Alassra Silverhand upon hatching by **Mystra** a quite delusional dragoness,
who named her to be one of **seven sisters**. Due to the influence of a mad
adopted mother and the sadistic nature of her adopted father Alassra
grew up to be a short-tempered and wild dragoness. Watching her adopted
sisters turning into gentle and caring adults, Alassra decided to become
a 'good' dragoness herself.

When she reached
adulthood she chose to go by the name of 'The Simbul' rather than using
her given name, distancing herself from the role her mother had
intended, but also showing a lack of modesty by naming herself after a
primitive deity. To this day The Simbul does her best to do the right
thing but is still feared by most dragons because of her terrible
temper.

## DA - Albus  CB

Most dragons think Albus to be a nice,
friendly old dragon. The kind teacher everyone would wish for and a
powerful protector of the young and helpless. All that is true but it's
not all there is to this old magi.

Albus in his
youth had found and lost love in **Grindlewald** - a powerful and beautiful
magi dragon. Sadly though Grindlewald's soul wasn't as beautiful as his
body and although he requited Albus's feelings he also used the other
one, manipulated him to help him with his political goals. When Albus
discovered the truth, he stood against his lover and fought for what he
believed in. But Albus never recovered from that broken heart, living
his life without allowing himself another emotional connection as deep
as that ever again.

In his old age Albus now
uses other dragons to further his own - albeit altruistic - goals, even
manipulating friends, becoming more like Grindlewald than anyone would
think of the seemingly absent-minded dragon.

## DA - Ditchwater Sal  CB

Ditchwater Sal is common as mud. She has
long since abandoned any kind of learning and studying and instead uses
her magic to find or create trinkets, which she then trades or barters
for other stuff. Her only goals in life are to increase her hoard and to
decrease her workload.

She often exchanges her
little treasures for years of service with pygmies or drakes or even the
occasional terrae and it is rumoured that she catches pumpkin dragons
with enchanted fruits to force them into her labour.

## DA - Papa Midnight  CB

Papa Midnight is the most feared of
Delirium's students. His specialty is necromancy and something he calls
voodoo, and he regularly converses with the dead. The only dragons who
don't seem to mind his presence are the Bone Marrows, Cave Lurkers and
Vampires and even those prefer to keep their safe distance once Samhain
draws near, since Papa Midnight's powers seem to be on their all time
high during this period.

Some dragons suspect
that he might be behind **Puffy Loon is ba-a-ack'**s death and resurrection
as a Zombie but so far no one has found any hard evidence.

## DA - Dove Falconhand  CB

Dove
was adopted as an egg and named Ambara Dove Silverhand by **Mystra**, a quite delusional dragoness, who named her to be one of **seven sisters**. Despite the influence of a mad adopted mother and the sadistic nature of
her adopted father, Ambara grew up to be a nice and shy dragoness.

When
she reached adulthood she chose to go by the name of Dove Falconhand rather than using the surname of 'Silverhand' that marked her as a 'Sister'.

Dove even goes as far as leaving
Delirium's academy for long periods of time, spending her time with
hunting rather than studying. Dove prefers the solitude and peace of the wilderness to the company of most dragons, the only notable exception
being her six 'sisters' with whom she shares a deep and profound bond.

## DA - Humphrey  CB

Humphrey has a very special talent: He can
answer any question. On the downside he also HAS to answer every question asked. And while his answers are always accurate and true, they are not necessarily easy to understand or helpful. Oftentimes his answers are only clear in hindsight to the dragons who posed the
original questions.

After Humphrey had to fight off dragons who came back to punish him for a perceived 'mocking' of their problems again and again, he finally decided to seek refuge with Delirium's academy. Here the reputation of the headmistress keeps away unwanted visitors, and the other students know very well what they are dealing with, when talking with the oracle.

## DA - Nymphadora Tonks CB

Tonks - as she prefers to be called - has a very, very rare affliction: Her scales and eyes change colour according to her mood. Her teacher believes this can be traced back to the fact, that her mother experimented with transfiguration magic, when she still held Nyphadora's egg in her own body, and one such experiment changed the developing embryo.

So every dragon can tell what emotions are currently running through her mind, as the corresponding colours run over her hide: red when she's angry, yellow when she's confused and even purple when she's frightened. Since Tonks is a very happy and curious dragon, she mostly displays the colour associated with that state of mind - the pure orange that looks exactly like the natural shade of most Magis.

## DA - Raistlin Majere CB

When Raistlin hatched he was sick right from the start, he was smaller, weaker and less healthy than any other hatchling in the clan. Consequently none of the others hatchies wanted to play with him and he grew very bitter and resentful as a result. When the adults discussed freezing him, to give his body time to heal, Raistlin rejected the very idea of spending more time than absolutely necessary with the clan's frozen hatchlings, who teased him as badly if not worse than the growing ones, and hid until he finally grew up.

As an adult he has no more friends than as a hatchie and his only consolation lies in his strong magic, that at least earns him respect in the halls of the academy.

## DA - Ursula CB

Ursula is, objectively speaking, a pretty ugly dragoness. But she has one thing many of the shy and pretty Moonstone or White females miss: she has a self-assuredness that seeks its equal. When Ursula sees her reflection, she doesn't see the excess weight or the imperfect spots on the scales of her face: she sees a perfect dragoness with charisma and desires. A dragoness every dragon should call himself lucky to have.

So although Ursula is chubby and sometimes a bit mean, she had no trouble finding a mate, and she couldn't care less what others think about her and **Irisz**.

## DA - Irisz the Genderconfused CB

Irisz is a very not-confused-at-all dragoness. She's very, very sure that she is in fact female and that she likes other females. She sometimes spends time under a spell that allows her to be temporarily male, because she wants offspring with her partner. And she's confident enough in her identity that she can easily deal with these short episodes.

It's the other dragons who sometimes get confused and therefore call her by her non-fitting nickname.

## DA - Lady Constantine CB

For as long as Magi dragons remember, there has always been a special dragon from a chosen line called Constantine. Although all dragons of that line carry the surname, only one is The Constantine at any given time.

Being The Constantine implies that the bearer of that title is the most talented member of the line, with cunning and power to battle demons and devils threatening dragonkind, searching its equal. It also means a certain ruthlessness and being a literal magnet for bad luck and certain doom.

The fact that **Delirium'**s own son has chosen to go by the name of  **Constantine** on a whim has proven to be the best thing ever to happen to the Lady Joanna. While demons and evil dragons concentrate their efforts solely on the imposter, she is free to go on about her business relatively unhindered.

Should the protection of his mother one day prove itself not to be enough to keep John safe, the Lady would feel sorry for him. But certainly not enough to warn John off of his foolishness.

## DA - C Diggory CB

Diggory is a pretty and nice member of Delirium's academy. He is popular with the other students, because he is friendly and easy to be around and, in the case of some more manipulative students, easy to lead.

Even his mate has only chosen him because he is so gullible. Her intentions aren't evil at all, but she doesn't really care for him and only wants someone to help her continuing her line. Preferably someone who doesn't understand the significance of it, lest he revealed her secret to her enemies.

## DA - Morgwyn of Ravenscar CB

Morgwyn keeps up the facade of a devout little dragoness most of the time. In secret she works on bringing down demons into the world of dragons in hope of the power she could gain through these evil creatures.

Morgwyn plays a dangerous game, and she tries to win over the **Lady Joanna** to her side. The Constantine line has a strong affinity to the dark forces, even if their most talented member always fought on the side of good - if barely. But Joanna isn't The Constantine, so Morgwyn has high hopes of turning her around to her side, making her an priceless ally in her fight against **John** and other do-gooder dragons.

## DA - Forge CB

Forge, like his best friend **Gred**, loves nothing more than to take someone down a peg or two. This often means playing pranks on some of the more self-important members of the clan, but Forge and Gred go a step further by developing charms and spells specifically for this task.

Forge has perfected a little charm he calls "presence enhancers". It gives the most harmless and unassuming dragons the most imposing presence imaginable and Forge loves to enchant any Mint or Pygmy that has been bullied by a Royal Crimson or Spitfire and then watch the bully back away in silent terror, when the former victim so much as glares at them.

## DA - Elaine CB

While not extremely powerful, Elaine has a knack for filigree spells. She will never reach a high position inside Delirium's academy though, as she lacks ambition as well as power. While a good dragon at heart Elaine's biggest fault is her lack of backbone. Whenever she's faced with adversity, she will rather flee than stand her ground, even going so far as to flunk on her tests so that she'll stay under the radar of the more ambitious and combative students.

## DA - Donald Morgan CB

Morgan is the picture book example of a lawful good dragon, with an emphasis on the lawful. While always invested in fighting the good fight, Morgan has seen too much over the course of his life, and his compassion has been burned out of him. He is almost as good a fighter as a Black, specializing in combat magic himself, and has taken down many a danger to the clan and the academy. He will kill a dragon without hesitation if he believes him to be a danger, but he would never harm an innocent.

Many of the more free-thinking, liberal dragons can't stand him, but there is almost no one among the members of the clan who doesn't respect Morgan.

## DA - Illyana CB

Illyana is the carrier of a magic artifact called the "Soul Sword". The sword enables the wielder to wander through the planes like a Shadowwalker, marking her as someone to be aided and respected to the native inhabitants of those strange lands. While young for a warden of the sword, Illyana uses it quite responsibly, only growing reckless in dire situations when she has been known to trick malevolent demons into helping out helpless creatures otherwise faced with extinction.

## DA - Injun Joe CB

Injun is the best healer outside the healing caves of the clan. He's also a wise and respected member of Delirium's academy, seldom speaking more than necessary, but always there to take a stand for the right side when the need arises. His most impressive spell, besides his healing, is his shape-changing. He loves to spend months at a time roaming the woods as a bear.

## DA - Yoshimo CB

Yoshimo trains with **Ramirez** under **Morgan** to become a combat-orientated guard of Delirium's academy. Atypical for a combat mage, she is rather shy and demure. Outside of fights it's as if she's not even really there, always merging with the background.

## DA - Morty CB

Morty specializes in ectomancy. He has a natural affinity to the world of ghosts and spirits and even quite malevolent ones seem to readily follow his commands and rather protect than harm him. Since ghost and spirits are mostly unable to interact with the physical world, except under extreme circumstances, other dragons tend to underestimate him. Morty mostly gathers otherwise harmful spirits inside his rooms inside the academy and is quite content that others discount him and his talent quickly.

## DA - Molly Carpenter CB

Molly is one of the younger students of the academy. She really means well, but she has an affinity for mind-magic that has proven to be quite the temptation. Without really knowing what she was doing, she used her telepathy and magic to manipulate other dragons' minds when she was barely more than a hatchling. Not only were the dragons harmed by this and needed the help of Whites and Soulpeaces to recover from that invasion, but Molly herself was irrevocably altered, brought a bit closer to the darker sight of magic, a bit more ready to take the easy solution again.

Her studies at the academy focus at least as much on responsible behaviour and self-control as they do on spells and rituals.

## DA - Ramirez CB

Ramirez specializes in combat magic and trains under **Morgan** as a guard of Delirium's academy. In contrast to his boss, he is young and still idealistic. While age may still change his attitude, he is relaxed, easy-going, and self-assured. Ramirez loves to flirt with the dragonesses but is more bark than bite, because at heart he's really a romantic.

## DA - Anna Ash CB

Anna is a very minor talent among the students of Delirium's academy. Her spells are flimsy at best and there are quite a lot of dragons that could easily beat her in a magical duel. Anna's strength lies in socialising. She has gathered other minor talents from all the clan around her and they do their best to teach each other, work together, and look out for one another.

## DA - Gregor Christos CB

Christos is a pompous, self-important idiot of a dragon. He loves to play at the political games going on around the academy and he isn't half-bad at them, but he loses sight of the important stuff because of it. A lot of the more observant dragons fear that Christos will go for deals with the devil, if it furthers his standing among the students, unwillingly endangering the academy and the clan. The more cynical ones even doubt that it would be unwillingly.

## DA - Lettice Earwig CB

Lettice is a busy-body always trying to organise things that need no organising, or bossing dragons around who could very well do without any bossing around. She has very clear ideas about "proper" and "fair" behaviour. Needless to say, almost no dragon at the academy or clan can stand the sight of her.

## DA - Alberto Malich CB

In his youth Malich was a powerful and stern Magi dragon. He was feared by most and respected by all. But Malich has a terrible fear of death. While most dragons know eventual death to be a natural part of life and sooner or later accept it, Malich wasn't ready to give up that easily. Instead he worked for a long time on a ritual that would allow him to effectively becoming immortal by striking a deal with an extra-planar entity. This deal forces him to act as the entity's servant and practically turns him into a prisoner on that entity's home-plane, yet Malich regrets nothing. He still lives and can - for very carefully stretched out moments - visit the land of his youth from time to time.

## DA - Logical Proof CB

LP has made up her own little sets of rules which she calls axioms. She enjoys playing around with those premises following certain rules of deductive reasoning to see where that will lead her. Every time she has reached a particularly interesting or far-fetched conclusion, she shouts "QED! QED!" and gets really excited.

She doesn't care a bit if her conclusions have any foundation in applied magics at all.

## DA - Victor Tuglebend CB

Tuglebend couldn't leave Delirium's academy fast enough after graduating. He couldn't care less for knowledge and spells, he dreams of becoming famous. He has heard rumours of a dragon-only stage production company named ***Skylark players*** and wants desperately to join them. With his rugged good looks and prominent chin, he would make an excellent male lead for sure.

## DA - Gwinifer Blackcap CB

Gwin's special talent lies in the healing of and dealing with non-draconic lifeforms. If a herd of sheep gets ill, some pigs act up, or a human is injured - Gwinifer is the Magi dragon to call. She has a stout, down-to-earth personality that won't be bothered by irrational behaviour of primitive beings and is respectfully known as a "pig-wrangler" and "human-whisperer" among her clan.

## DA - Dr John Hicks CB

Hicks is the new leader of the "Department of Post-Mortem Communication and Animation" at Delirium's Academy. Faced with prejudices and hate after the attack of **Papa Midnight** on the living, Hicks decided it was best to opt for some change, and the first things that he did throw out were the old name (Necromancy) and most of the attitude that went with it. He enjoys good working relations with **Brother Voodoo** and works mostly on the public relations of his department, changing skulls and black candles out for crystals and fairy lights wherever possible.

## DA - Mother Dismass CB

Dismass is the perfect example of where the second sight can lead a dragoness. After using and abusing her gift for centuries, to find out what the right answers to a test were for example, she has finally lost temporal focus. As such, communication with Dismass has become almost impossible for anyone, except those who manage to let their consciousness flow through the time stream as well. She might answer a question next year as likely as last Tuesday and she has no control over it.

## DA - Chair of AD CB

This dragon holds the Chair for Applied Dracopics, the central chair for all science regarding dragons, their history, their culture, and how the world was obviously created around dragons in general and the "olden breeds" - created on the sixth cycle - particularly. He has gone even a step farther and is pretty sure he can proof that the Magi dragons - and more specifically him - are the pinnacle of creation and that the universe actually revolves around him.

## DA - Sarah Grizzle  CB

Sarah is a salt-of-the-earth dragoness. She cares more about dragons than about magic and she spends her days mostly doing ordinary stuff. Which isn't to say that she doesn't have power, just that she doesn't care about it very much.

Her best friends are surprisingly not other dragons - although they respect her - but the little folk living in the hills and mountains. Creatures of **fairy** so small that even humans, let alone dragons, hardly ever notice them. She was not only among the first dragons ever to achieve contact with them, but she went through the trouble of learning their language: a communication mostly based on swear words and cusses. Her abilities in that regard greatly impress the hatchlings and Pygmies, but some of the more delicate minds of the clan wish she would just stop it.

## DA - Igneous Cadwell CB

Igneous often wonders about the nature of time and space, life and death, and magic and the different planes of existence. His philosophical musings keep him so busy in fact that he has little to no time for actual magical research or experiments. The other students at the academy claim that he is no true Magi at all but a White Stripe dragon in disguise. Which in turn sends Igneous into another month long theoretical observation about the inherent natures of breeds and free will of intelligent species.

## DA - Miss Terious CB

Terious belongs to a trio of dragonesses with her sisters in spirit: **Tick** and **Terry**. Neither of the three believes in sharing the ways their spells actually work and they prefer to keep an enigmatic aura going for them. In fact they even share only little among themselves.

Terious loves to keep everything about herself unknown. She doesn't share her age, hobbies, or preferences in a mate. She even hides her true appearance behind a constant illusion of a completely unassuming looking Magi dragoness. Many have speculated that underneath that illusion she is actually a Black, Arsani, or White dragoness in disguise. Others even doubt that she is necessarily female. If asked any question she will answer in enigmatic statements of no apparent relevance to the question. Although most of her fellow students think her a bit nuts, there is a small group of followers who claim that great wisdom can be found in her aphorisms if one meditates long enough over their actual meaning.

## DA - Ezrolith Churn CB

Ezrolith might only be a mediocre student at Delirium's academy (which still puts him way above most magic users) but there's one thing none of his fellow Magis can beat him in: baking. Spending lots of his free time either within the academy's kitchens or with the clan's Harvest dragons he has developed a whole list of delicious recipes from sweet-buns-with-a-hole-in-them to flat-piece-of-dough-with-tomato-and-cheese, there's no taste he isn't ready to try out. He dreams of one day entering a contest at the annual  **HAT** festival and winning - finally getting the kind of recognition he deserves.

Ezrolith is not very good with naming his creations.

## DA - Ypagz CB

Ypagz is one of the many moderate students at Delirium's Academy, there really is nothing special about her as her grades are mediocre, her work ethics are "OK", and she hasn't even decided on a speciality yet. Well expect for one very weird tick - although dragons only "talk" telepathically, she has subconciously decided that her sharp teeth are a reason for her to not pronounce "s" sounds properly.

Tho whenever she talkth to thomeone in their mindth the other dragon getth exthtremely confuthed at leatht for the firtht few momentth. Thome of the hatchieth make fun of her weird way to thpeak (or rather think) and motht adultth can't shake the feeling that they should thtay away from her a bit leatht they get thprayed with thpittle.

## DA - Mybl CB

Mybl has a frivolous hobby that keeps him from his studies and duties to the clan. Well at least some of his teachers would call it frivolous, because that's what they call everything that's not directly related to learning.

Mybl secretly thinks that his teachers sometimes use words which don't mean what they think they mean. Still he tries to keep his hobby as secret as possible because he is a bit ashamed of it. Yet he simply can't stop.

When he first heard of ***Toesocks*** the hatchie and his wonderful imaginative fiction, he had to read it. And read it. And read it again when he was finished with all of Toesock's current works. And then reading wasn't enough. He had to write little stories himself. At first about some of his favourite of Toesock's characters, then about his clan mates in completely made up stories, and finally he has even started to write a great big romance novel featuring completely original characters.

## DA - Miss Calculation CB

Miss Calculation is the teacher for arithmagics at Delirium's Academy. She knows how to divi-ply and how to substr-add of course, but she also knows higher mathmagics like differ-tegration and set-ber theory.

Most of her students give up long before they can understand her proof for the general impossibility of proofs but even the hatchies are impressed by her amazing tricks for calculating squares and roots really fast.

## DA - Chair of Pow CB

Pow holds a chair at Delirium's Academy. No one knows what he holds the chair for or if "Pow" even IS a real field of expertise (and in an academy that holds a chair for Oblique Frogs that's saying something).

Some students theorise that he actually has stolen a literal chair from a human named Pow and holds it in his claws from time to time so he can't be called a liar.

## DA - Buhvahs CB

Buhvahs loves magic. Why this might sound quite obvious for a Magi dragon and student of Delirium's academy, she goes a step farther than most. Buhavahs believes firmly that magic herself has a dragonification, a body of her own, and Buhvahs is in love with her. She believes that she caught a glimpse of Magic once as a young hatchling, and ever since that day she has lost all interest in other dragons, be they male or female; she just wants to finally be worthy of her one true love. Buhvahs studies hard because she knows that only if she masters all **17 schools** and **289 domains** of magic will she ever be worthy. The road ahead of her is still long, but she's confident she will achieve her goal someday.

## DA - Tommy Tailor CB

TT was an experiment horribly gone wrong - or right depending on whom one might ask. A teacher at Delirium's Academy came up with the theory that all magic was in fact powered by belief. He came up with a way to prove it too: create a massive amount of belief in the power of one particular dragon (from an early age on preferably) and then prove that said dragon indeed was more powerful than would be possible under normal circumstances. So he created a prophecy and spread it wide and far about an almost almighty Magi who would come and defeat all evil and whose name was to be Tommy Tailor.

Ever since hatching TT has done everything in HIS power to make people see that he is nothing but an ordinary Magi dragon - a task in which he has yet to succeed, as a small and vehement cult following keeps insisting that he could only convince every dragon of his ordinariness because he was powerful enough to change their minds via magic.

## DA - Frau Totenkinder CB

Totenkinder is one of the more powerful members of Delirium's Academy and one of the most secretive as well. No one knows much about her past and no one but **Delirium** herself remembers a time when there was no Frau Totenkinder, an old, harmless looking dragoness with a dark aura for those able to see such things.

Rumors claim that she has some external source for her magic and that it has something to do with all those empty egg shells which can be found in the wilderness, but reason dictates that those should be attributed to Vampires or wild predators.

## DA - Gepetto CB

Gepetto specialises in druidical magic and the animation of dead matter. His secret source of special wood is a hidden grove of holy beeches enchanted with **Fey** magic. The puppets carved from this wood practically animate themselves and are more life-like than any of his fellow enchanters' creations.

Most see Gepetto as a harmless, nice old grandfatherly type, but he has great plans once he has put his army of wooden puppets into key positions.

## DA - Piper Halliwell CB

Piper was sent to Delirium's Academy out of family obligations. Tradition states that any member of her family should become a powerful magic-user in their own right and use their power to protect innocents. Only Piper doesn't really care about innocents, she just wants to live a normal life. Yet out of loyalty to her family she still studies magic although she really doesn't want to. This conflict of interests makes her quite cranky in general and leads to apparent mood swings that make her appear quite inconsistent to those not in the know.

## DA - The Dark Man CB

The Dark Man is not simply a dragon but almost a force of nature. He specialises in terror and fear-inducing magic and has learnt to use the anguish and phobias in those around him as a source to strengthen his own power. He also uses teeth and bones as **foci** and eats the remains of any opponent he slays, not because he has a taste in dragon flesh but because it reinforces the panic his mere presence has on others and therefore adds to his powers.

## DA - Eglantine Price CB

Eglantine grew up among a Mint dragon colony and only ever knew about magic as a rumour, yet she was always fascinated by the idea. When the opportunity of a letter-course about simple spells presented itself, she immediately joined up and learned a lot. After the letters stopped one day, she went on a quest to find the teacher only to find out that he was a scam-artist Misfit with no ounce of magical talent himself. The Pygmy was quite shocked to find out that for Eglantine the spells actually worked and got his neck out of the noose by pointing her towards Delirium's Academy - a REAL place of magical education.

## DA - Fang CB

Fang is a really fearsome looking dragon with canines to rival those of a Vampire. He often guards the vaults of Delirium's Academy from curious students or visitors and his looks alone are enough to discourage most. Those who actually know Fang for any real amount of time understand though that he really is nothing but a huge teddy bear in a dragon's skin.

## DA - Cook CB

This dragon is not so much a member of Delirium's Academy as she just works there. She is the overseer of the academy's vast kitchens and her only talent seems to lie the use of her magic for the preparation of food. The students don't even know her real name and only refer to her as "Cook". Most of them think she's a rather talentless, boring dragoness and only try to stay on her good side for the various treats she gives out to dragons she likes.

The clever students, however, notice that she keeps out of the way of **Delirium** and several of the more insightful or maleficent members of the teaching staff. The cleverest among the students sooner or later realise that she's NOT doing it because she's afraid of them.

## DA - Pug CB

Although a foundling with no known heritage and brought up by simple (yet loving) Terrae, Pug actually is the most powerful Magi in the whole wide world. It took him quite some time to come into his heritage, but over the course of his life he rose from commoner to squire to friend of royalty until he finally found his rightful place as the Black Sorcerer and defender of the realm from demon invasions and other dangers.

Well at least that is what Pug imagined when he was a little lonely hatchling. His real life is far more ordinary but not really a disappointment as he has found his place as one of the members of Delirium's Academy and is accepted and well-liked by his peers. He prefers to keep his hatchlinghood fantasies to himself though because he doesn't want anyone to believe that he has delusions of grandeur.

## DA - Melisandre CB

Melisandre travels the world in search for potential students of Delirium's Academy. She has very narrow views though on who would make a good student and would do almost anything to discourage anyone she deems unworthy. And those she deems worthy get taught, guided, and instructed (read: manipulated) by Melisandre so they will stay more loyal to her than to anyone else. Among the qualifications to prove themselves worthy in Melisandre's eyes are an exceptional magical talent, the ability to follow orders, and being female.

## DA - Malachit CB

Malachit is an ancient and talented magic user and he has one great problem: he hates science. The whole thought of using non-magical means to reach one's goals, the fact that even a meek Mint could achieve a luxurious lifestyle seems unnatural to him, so science and even the slightest hint at technical progress makes him angry, really angry. He usually calms down once he's killed one or three offending researchers, secure in the knowledge that no one will develop stuff on HIS watch.

## DA - Z'olob CB

Z'olob is different than many of her brethren in that she is interested in everything. E-VERY-THING. No matter how insignificant or pointless a tidbit of information is, she will spend a good amount of time studying it, even if she already has encountered that particular thing before. Z'olob is the kind of dragoness who will study a short note about groceries thoroughly even if it isn't even meant for her. Needless to say she doesn't get a lot of things done.

## DA - Glaco CB

Glaco is a fatalistic kind of dragon and takes life as it comes. He never expected to fall in love and mate for life because in his youth he was much more of a party dragon, yet when he met **Z'olob**he never thought twice. He never thought about having hatchlings of his own, enjoying his freedom far too much, but when Z'olob suggested raising an egg, he agreed whole-heartedly. His life changed tremendously with ***Z*'wox'** hatching and to this day he can't really, fully grasp the fact that he is a dad and will be for the rest of his life but he deals with every day as it comes along as well as he can.

There are worse approaches to life.

## DA - Trixie the Great CB

The Great and Powerful Trixie is the mightiest and most heroic Magi dragoness ever to grace this humble clan with her presence. Every rumour about her being a loudmouth drop-out from Delirium's Academy are nothing but lies brought into the world by her numerous enviers.

## DA - Starswirl the Bearded CB

Starswirl is a talented member of Delirium's Academy and a quite friendly dragon who is popular with his peers. But the one thing he is really famous for at the academy as well as in the clan is his beard. No one knows which chaos spell backfired (and he won't tell anyone) but the fact is that Starswirl's noble draconic chin is covered not in scales but with impressive grey hairs, endowing him with a distinguished look.

## DA - Wanda Maximoff CB

Wanda is one of the Chaos mages studying at Delirium's Academy. Like the headmistress, she possesses a powerful and unpredictable magic and very few have the courage to face her in a magical duel. Most chaos magic practitioners develop a more and more unstable personality throughout their lives as the constant exposure to pure disorder destroys even the most stable of minds, but Wanda never possessed what anyone would call sanity. She has a good heart as far as anyone can tell, but she has no control over her magic and no concept of reality and consequences, and often a well-meant wish results in a terrible catastrophe. So Wanda lives in a self-imposed exile in some of the most secured chambers of the academy with a couple of Cassares ready to spring to action whenever the need arises.

## DA - Osiris CB

Osiris studies the ancient and in many cultures forbidden secrets of necromancy. Unlike **Papa Midnight** though, he doesn't aspire do enslave the dead under his command, he strives to understand the cycle of life and death. He is often seen talking with the Walkers, trying to use their insights to gather more wisdom for himself. Death to him is an unavoidable part of life that can even bear more life through its sacrifice. He hopes that he will be wise and knowledgable enough when his time finally comes to give his own death this best of meanings.

## DA - Miss Demeanour CB

Demeanour is one of the less well-behaved students at Delirium's Academy. Whenever there is a scroll missing, spell components are switched out or a curfew is broken Demeanour is sure to be found nearby. In fact it's a miracle that she hasn't been expelled but somehow she always rides the fine line that gets her into trouble but just not too much.
