Where to begin? I have RPed a dragon for over a decade. Both in forum style and as of late, in the world of Second Life. It has given me a different view of dragons. It is not an easy thing to play a dragon as a character and do it realistically. For one thing, space is a premium. You do not land a multi ton, multi story flying creature in the middle of a town. Seriously. Not unless you wish to risk breaking your wings or anything that happens to be in the street at the time. Likewise, a true dragon is a very hard thing to kill. With just those two factors in mind, they become very aloof creatures. you cannot just drop in to visit friends and what friends you do have will probably not be around in a century or two.

The makeup of a dragon would naturally tend to be isolationist. Even with the knowledge that they have picked up over time, there is little way for them to apply it in a real world setting. Few could imagine a dragon's views. There is little that they would see that would be new to them, which would also make for an almost tunnel vision. His surprise at finding the mostly carved dragons on the mountian and the lairs which he flew by repeatedly is a prime case of this. He had seen the mountains, why focus on them? He was more interested in the city that had bloomed outside his lair ring.

It was also brought up that he did not focus on the details. That should actually be pretty obvious.

What goal do you have when there is nothing that can challenge you? Where do you find drive when you have entire universes at your claws? What do you buy when you own the wealth of a thousand worlds? Where do you call home when you don’t even know the name of the planet you live on?

I think the best word to describe it would be jaded. It comes down to; is it important enough to influence him or whatever he is working on or with. If not? Then why pay attention to it?

Now that is over with, why I really decided to add this. Thank you. I have never tried to put a story down like this and I have never had formal training in writing. To tell the truth, I had to look up some of the references that some had written about in their comments. What you have given me a starting point. I know now what I have to learn to write something decent now. I did pay attention to every comment. Even the ones that I had a hard time taking seriously. Your comments are what I needed to give me a direction in which to improve. To all that commented, to all that read it.

Thank you
