Rumbly dragon!@

Rumbling with laughter! 8D

Just gotta resist playing with the long frills!

oooooh, never thought about a ringlike crown for a horn .w.

A COPPER AND A RED?
MATED TOGETHER?!

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!?!?!
(Seriously I wanna know ♥)

Ooooooohhh man old comment is old D:
I'm so sorry I didn't see this xD

Assuming you're still a'round to see this, here's my belated answer:
In the D&D default rules, Coppers are in a sort of middle ground alignment wise, but I grew up always bending things around a bit under the impression that these were always just "templates" for you to base your own campaigns off of, unless you were going for a fully vanilla experience. So I had this idea that this one red happened to grow up with a life that had his life be shaped a little differently than most, making him lean towards a middle ground himself.

Then these two met, became friends, and later on the rest was history~ I always kinda liked the thought of mixed relations like that hehe~

Wait, you mean 4th edition on that alignment middle ground. Copper Dragons have been Chaotic Good in 3.5 and 5e! They tend to be more heroic than anything else. Incidentally, my kobold sorceress had a fling with a copper dragon. HAH!
I suppose being a kobold junkie I've always been a bit of a purist.
There IS an exception though! The Eberron setting. There, dragons are not 100% constrained to their alignment barring arcane or divine intervention.

Aaaaah shows how much I remember then x'D

But yeah, it's a rough draw up of how these two got together. Lexius grew up as an outcast more or less, so he shaped up to be leaning closer to the neutral spectrum, which I guess was enough for the prankster dragon heh ^^

Aaah I've always appreciated settings where creatures/races could deviate a bit from their norm, I felt it sometimes allowed for more interesting situations to pop up ^^

Yeah. It's weird when you think about it eh? Dragons being the keenest minds in all of the NPC land, yet constrained to alignment.

The fridge brilliance kicks in however, when you realize that they are literally born that way, not just because of genes or environment, but because of divine intervention. Bahamut and Tiamat keep a good influence over their progeny, and how much religion actually affects the d&d mythos.

It all makes sense once you realize that, but at the same time I still liked thinking they were complex enough to make their own destiny so to speak. But that's one of the best things about all this, is that you can play it down to the letter with how the guidebooks from X or Y generation tell it out, or you can improvise and let your personal imagination run free. Unless you're playing one of the cRPG's, in which case noooope unless it's got modding tools x'D


Slightly unrelated, I always found it slightly odd they picked Bahamut to be the good guy and not Marduk. In Babylonian mythology Tiamat was indeed a bit of an asshole, but Bahamut (I want to say Arabic here, but my mythology/religion memory is failing me ;v; ) was a demon. A far cry from the nicer dragon DnD's is supposed to be. Marduk suits that role a lot better, so sometimes I wonder...

But, that in itself is what I kind of like doing with settings like these, being creative and doing something different :>

Yeah. And totally unrelated, have you seen Bahamut's mug? Oh my goodness, he has the dragon equivalent of a Zeus beard.

Dragon equivalent of Zeus's beard haha, now I can't help but envision the dnd's in the role of the Greek pantheon x'D
