Biography

The Love of Wealth and Power

B I O G R A P H Y

She carries her name to impressive effect. She is large and regal, with an ancient body tattered by generations of hardship. She adorns herself in finery, some say out of tradition or vanity, but others say to cover up her geography of scars. Others say the skin beneath is molten, perhaps due to some mysterious magic. Her powerful body bristles with horns and spikes, and though her old bones are sometimes stiff in the morning, she retains much of her vigor. Though old, she is far from weak. While not a greedy being, her sheer presence projects the image of wealth and power suggested by her name.
She was born many ages ago, and was one of the first guardian dragons to break shell in the domain of the Lightweaver. Her charge is nowhere to be seen - perhaps long dead or perhaps never found. That is one element of her past which she doesn’t speak of, but that’s only one part of her long history. There must be a thousand tales of her youth, detailing the many adventures and experiences she had in times long passed. Those days are gone, of course, she she still tells the stories.
She was born in the realm of the light, but she came to the Blacksand Annex after a period of wandering. The clan leader, Ashes, welcomed her upon her arrival. Such a stately and ancient dragon was a blessing to the clan, who could benefit from her strength and wisdom. Though embattled by the ages, she still had much to offer. She quickly became a beloved teacher and storyteller, always happy to watch after the youngsters and pass on her knowledge.

Her intellect, in accordance with her age, is also vast. She’s had hundreds of years, perhaps even longer, to learn. She’s a lifelong learner, the kind of mind which remains thirsty for new experiences. She spends hours pouring over ancient books and examining puzzling scrolls. She’s amassed her own library which she keeps protected from the volatile heat of the Flameforger’s domain by sealing it away in a cave. There, she basks in the cool of the underground and admires her collection. Greed comes in many forms, they might say. Avarice does not long for treasure or power as much as she longs for learning.

She’s happy to pass this learning along to others. In addition to her teaching and storytelling, she’s also become a reliable adviser to her new clanmates. Even the leaders look to her in times of doubt. She responds to such inquiries in the form of long anecdotes, but those who ask are always ready to listen. The tale may be long and filled with twists and turns, but such an old dragon is never in a hurry. Avarice gets to her point in time, and it always comes together like a work of art. Her comments are filled with great nuance and clarity, and she’s excellent at offering a distant yet fresh perspective. This has made her popular not only as a political adviser, but as a personal counselor and mentor. Typically, she’s more than happy to accept this kind of role for someone, so long as they ask politely and come to her in honesty.

B I O G R A P H Y

To many, this great wyrm seems infallible. She’s intelligent, strong, wise, worldly, and everything else that an exemplary dragon should be. Sadly, there is something missing. Avarice has never known love. It’s difficult for someone so peerless to find anyone to relate to on a personal level. Even finding friends who hold her as an equal is difficult, as most dragons hold her so high in their mind that a close personal connection is impossible. She often misses her younger days, before she grew old and indomitable, when she had friends and played with notions of romance. But those days came and went, and no lover stayed. Now, in her old age, despite everything that she has, she is lonely.

Even those who come to her in confidence, seem to regard her as something otherworldly. She’s become a force of nature, something to be revered. While regal and astute, she sometimes wishes she could let her guard down. She doesn’t exactly desire feeling vulnerable, but she would like for it to be an option. She would like to be able to have bad days. She would like to be able to mourn those she left behind, or to linger on some of her memories which aren’t so pleasant. But with so many admirers who hinge on her words, that is difficult. It’s something she bears without complaint, but sometimes at night, she’ll utter a wistful sigh. How nice it would be to have someone to talk to.

Despite this hardship, her life is fulfilling. She’s lived many lives, in many places, with many different peer groups. She’s outlived friends and associates. She’s forgotten more than many dragons will ever know. Yet, she takes great comfort in what she has now, in her twilight years. Though she never found romantic love, she is surrounded by a love of community.

Sometimes, she wakes up to find hatchlings huddled sweetly beside her, using her great wings as shelter and cuddling close to her for comfort. She is like a grandmother to them, and to the entire clan. She has a special kind of family, and that’s something she wouldn’t trade for the purest love in all of creation.

*She was one of the first Guardians born into Light's domain. She's extremely old and overgrown with impressive horns and battle scars under her sage clothing. She has many tales to tell- some of her own experiences and some of her ancestors'.

*Her intelligence matches her size (she's one of the few Guardians that could rival the size of an Imperial)!

*She's never exactly known what romantic love is and is a pretty lonely creature overall. She has always roamed and stayed within the comfort of clans, letting her knowledge help her find a place when needed. Avarice only cares about the thoughts and actions of another dragon to base her love on, not the dragon's physical traits.

*Avarice is still strong enough to take care of herself, yes, but her age does leave her a little slow at times. Mornings are always the hardest on her bones.

*She sometimes wakes up to many hatchlings that have sneaked out of their nest cuddled up beside her and under her wings. Most see her as a kind old lady or the great grandma that everyone wants in their family. She blushes because of it.

*Ashes has great respect for Avarice. The clan leader accepted Avarice into the clan with open arms. Thankfully Avarice's sage attire is cool enough not to burn up from contact with the lava covered Guardian.

*Nobody really knows what her charge is. Some would say it's long gone, some would say she's still searching for it to this day. She thinks it's more of a concept- preserving the old tales of the world and bringing honor towards her peers and ancestors that are long gone.

*Many come to her for teaching on variety of subjects. While she is a great teacher for the things she has read from old scrolls and modern books, she can't exactly do all of them perfectly herself. For example, Avarice can list off a long forgotten recipe with ease, but put her in a kitchen and somehow she'll catch a pot of water on fire. She's...not used to the new gadgets these days, to say the least.
