[5a] Examples
*These are from my book. Though you may not claim the names, you may make a new charrie using one of these positions. Other positions are also available.
[7a] Dragon Flights (Races)
All Dragons, no matter what Flight or what category they fit into, have a hierarchy in which their head horns play a major role. The bigger and longer they are, the older the Dragon is. One Dragon's place does not change from clan to clan. For example, a Junior member in one clan is a Junior to other clan not only in his/her own Flight, but other Flights as well. The only way he/she is a Senior Dragon is by being older than another Dragon.
Chromatics
The best known of all the dragons. Are the most aggressive and battle hungry of the Flights. Prefer fresh meat to any thing else. The fire breath is the hottest in the world; so hot even diamonds can't withstand it.
[2] Green
The smallest of the Dragon Flights, next to the Coppers; and the smallest of the Chromatic flights. The scales are an emerald color and like the Reds, love fresh meat; but are less picky and will scavenge dead carcasses. Their breath is an acidic gas which is extremely painful.
[3] Blue
They are mainly solitary beings and can be pretty grumpy if they are disturbed. Their scales are a brilliant azure and they prefer their meat roasted to a crisp and can go weeks without eating. Bolts of lighting are their breath weapon.
[4] Black
The least trusted, but most aw inspiring of all the Flights. The biggest of the Flights, followed by the Golds. They prefer to eat rotten meat and love to scavenge. The favorite food is rotten fish; and would even eat the flesh of other dragons. They are the Dragon's version of the Marines with their weapon of a highly corrosive acid.
[/ul]
Metallic
The second largest Dragons and the rarest of all the Flights; and are considered by the other Dragons to be the wisests of all. Very picky eaters, preferring either fresh meat or fish. Their weapon is a powerful jet of flame; though not as strong as the Reds.
[2] Silver
Highly social Dragons, they are well-known to breed with other Flights; which results in sub-races of Dragons. They hate war and violences, but are skilled warriors if it came down to it. They love fish, especially if it's fresh but is happy to scavenge it. Their weapon is frost and snow; launching it as shards of ice or frost that will permanently freeze their target within a solid piece of ice.
[3] Bronze
Like the Reds, the Bronze seek the thrill of battle. But where the Reds lie in brute strength, the Bronze lie on their dexterity and grace while airborne. They prefer fresh meat but will have the occasional fish as well. Like the Blues, they have lighting as their weapon.
[4] Copper
The second smallest of the Flights They share the love of scavenging with the Blacks; but like some fresh meat from time to time. If it's rotten, it's meat that they prefer, not fish. Like the Gold and Red, the Copper Flight have a fire weapon, but it's a liquid, not a gas.

Ancient
-- One more Dragon races are to be added.
[10a] Ancients
Ancients are the species that have lived since ancient times; around Babylonian time. The species that are counted among the Ancients (the general term for the whole of all the species) are Centaurs, phoenix(ae) (the ae is plural), Sirens, Nymphs, etc. **Some are not listed due to the fact they do not have a Human form.
Half-horse, half-Human, Centaurs, or Centauri (the "i" has an "e" sound), are those that have long ago taught the average Human not only how to fend for themselves, but also philosophy, the ways of the Heavens, and all things important in those years past. Like horses, Centauri come in a wide spectrum of colors and patterns. Expert archers and sword fighters, both Centauri genders know how to fight and when to talk.
[2] Sirens
According to Greek myth, Sirens were three creatures that had features of a maiden, but from the thighs down had the features of a bird. One played the lyre, one sang, and the other played the flute. They enticed sailors to linger at their island, which in turn leads to their destruction.
Sirens, for there are more than the three mentioned in the Greek myth, are indeed quite attractive and can seduce nearly any man, or woman since Sirens can be of both genders, they wish. They are not in any way perfect, for they are mortal in many aspects like the rest of the world. It is merely their life span that is long.
[3] Nymphs
In a Greek myth, Nymphs are female spirits of nature that may live for many years, are bound to die. The Nymphs could be aggressive in their love as it is proved by the abduction of Hylas (look it up). They had the divine power to change things and turned Hylas into an echo. Another part of the myth is that normal women were turned into Nymphs by the Nymphs themselves.
If this was true in any such way, the Nymphs have changed drastically. For they have changed much of how they lived. Many are still nymphs of the mountains (oreads), oak (Dryads), tree (Hamadryads), water (naiads and hydriads), Ash trees (Melaids), Fen (Heleads), Sheep protectors (Epimeliads).

[11a] Mystics
Mystics are Humans that have lived since the Babylonian time who have been chosen by any one of the Ancient species to keep them safe. The group's true title is Keeper, but over time, the common person came to believe the Keepers were mystics due to the fact that they can use magic.
