Fire
Physiology
Purebred fire dragons are most similar to classical Western dragons. They have four feet, leather bat-like wings, hard scales, and frequently have lines of spikes and horns. Their wings are long and large, and their silhouette during flight is rectangular. They do not practice any type of camouflage, as their natural environment is usually full of smoke. Their long necks, tails, and wings can be deceitful, since they are very light. They have a gland that produces volatile gasses they can release at will, generating their fire breath in an instant.

Temperament
Fire dragons are bold, brash, temperamental, and independent. They seek out Riders that are filled with feelings of frustration, anger, vengeance, fear, and other powerful negative emotions. They can sense such emotions from other creatures and alert their Rider to any danger. When fire dragons form a bond with their Rider, their Riders gradually learn to use their emotions as a type of fuel that can propel them through tense situations, rather than something that they fester over. Fear turns to bravery, anger turns to understanding, and frustration turns to motivation. Of course, flare ups of negative behavior are still expected. Those who are well aligned with their dragons can manipulate flames.

FIRE MAGIC
They can breathe fire, naturally. They are capable of generating smoke, ash, and creating explosions with their own body as a fuel source. Conjuring fire out of thin air is child’s play for a fire dragon. Fire dragons can generate heat even without a fire, and when properly used, this can cause objects to ‘spontaneously’ combust. They are resistant to both extreme colds and intense heats. In battle, they give off an incredibly intimidating aura that can freeze their enemies through pure fear. Such intimidation won’t affect those who have done no wrong to the dragon.

ELEMENT COLOR RULES
Their most common colors are gold, red, orange, and brown. By desaturating it or darkening it, you can get acceptable browns and maroons. It should not stray too close to white or black.

Element Compatibilities
Light - While the Light magic is known for being manipulative, Fire dragons see it for what it is–a means to communicate. A Light dragon can easily indicate the health of a community based on its status, which allows Fire dragons to easily determine if something is amiss. Additionally, a dragon that is able to balance socializing with community needs is attractive to a Fire dragon.
Jungle - Jungles are strongly independent, a trait which is admirable to Fire dragons. Rather than doing what they are told, Jungles do what they feel is right, and their ‘right’ always has its reasons. They avoid conflict and even point out areas of the forest that are safe to burn. Their mischief is a bit of a let-down, but usually their mischief is as small as they are, and never antagonistic.
Storm - As the upholders of balance and justice, Fire dragons have a distinct hatred of the chaotic Storm dragons. Fire dragons require motive and reason behind every destructive action, while Storms do it on a whim. Storm dragons are seen as nuisances and instigators.
