Mana Dragons

Mana Dragons or Ald Hybriz in their native tongue are a "species" of Mana Beast known to exist within Purgatory. Unlike the similar Danger Beast Dragons native to the lands of Purgatory, Mana Dragons are abstract beings that act to mimic the laws of the world. This is achieved through Draconic Energy, an innominate force by which shares close relation to the root of Mana. Mana Dragons manifest into the world via avatars by which mimic the appearance of traditional folk lore Dragons, though sightings are rare as they tend to remain within Dragon Lairs.

History
Mana Dragons are not inherently physical beings, nor do they hold any true form of any kind beyond latent energy. Mana Dragons in actuality are not dragons at all, but rather beings that mimic the behaviors of reality for a multitude of reasons. They are said to have travelled to Purgatory by unknown means of unknown origin before undertaking the form of Danger Beast Dragons to shape the appearance and culture of their avatars by which they use as a Medium to the physical world. This would include mimicking their way of speech, combat, and of course appearance.

This form of mimicking is possible for beings of their nature via what has been dubbed "Dragon Arts". Dragon Arts are the usages of one's Voice to Assert Dominance over reality itself, being that Mana Dragons are by nature, dominant beings. This allows for a multitude of uses such as making your voice take on the properties of an element, making your physical form more powerful, and even defying death itself as your voice bullies reality into seeing your word as law.

At some point in ancient times, Mana Dragons began conversing with those from within and outside of Purgatory. The most infamous of these occurrences being the Legendary Dragon Mirghan's cursing of the Crozier Family's initial ancestor, which has since passed down the very essence of Mirghan's existence through its lineage. It was later discovered that Humans with a aptitude for Magic were capable of speaking in the way Dragons do, also becoming ones who can Dominate the laws of the world via their voice. This has lead to the Crozier Lineage taking up the Dragon Arts as its main form of magical teachings.

Elemental Dragons
Elemental Dragons or Elementals make up the bulk of Mana Dragons, though they are the bottom of the pyramid in regard to power. Each primary element is embodied and represented by a single Elemental Dragon. Being that they manifest through Avatars within the physical world, Dragons hold an unyielding form and may pick and choose to experience the forces of the physical world, with most deciding not to. Whenever a dragon's avatar state "dies", the Element "reincarnates" to represent the element once more as a replacement avatar is reinstated.

While elements can be conglomerated with one another to form others, there are no dragons that embody the tertiary elements. An example being Smoke, while one can learn and utilize "Art of the Smoke Dragon" through a combination of Arts of Fire, Earth and Wind, there is no Smoke Dragon Elemental. Also due to the nature of Draconic Energy, despite mimicking elements there is no inherent elemental advantage among them. The Primary Elements represented by an Elemental are as follow:
 * Fire
 * Ice
 * Lightning
 * Wind
 * Rock
 * Plague
 * Time
 * Celestial
 * Blood
 * Light
 * Darkness

Mythical Dragons
Mythical Dragons are an extremely small group that are exponentially more powerful than Elements. Masters of all the elemental's domains. Mythical Dragons hold a host of abilities unique to themselves, and are said to "willed" themselves into existence by splitting from the cycle of reincarnation that binds Elementals. Mythical Dragons do not allow themselves to be bound by names, though they do hold titles based on their appearance, lair location, experience with the outside, etc. Dragons of this level are influential to the world near their lairs, as even a mere avatar is powerful enough to shape the ecosystem around them. Mythical Dragons along with Legendaries can make contracts with and curse mortals.

Legendary Dragons
Legendary Dragons are the rarest form of Mana Dragon, with there not being a known living member of the category in Purgatory currently. They are said to be tens of times the strength of even all Mythical Dragons combined. The likes of this category include primordial beings like Mirghan and beasts of fable like Goodra. With Mirghan having been powerful enough to grant an everlasting sum of mana to the Crozier lineage without so much as a hindrance to his own power. Whereas the fading remnant of Goodra’s mana in purgatory is powerful enough to have mutated Elven inhabitants of Purgatory, forming an entire species of powerful hybrids.

Remnant Dragons
Remnant Dragons are a type of Mana Dragon that manifests and becomes an independent entity from the remnants of another dragon’s mana. Remnants manifest through the raw mana of Mana Dragons, gaining will and asserting themselves into existence. Remnants can come in varying levels of power, and their creation can lead to the severe weakening of a dragon, or even be of no effect to their previous power.

Elemental Remnants generally become more powerful then their elemental counterpart due to gaining a mastery of their elemental’s element while also not being bound to only it, as a remnant of a Fire Dragon will also be capable of utilizing other forms of Dragon Arts similarly to Mythical Dragons. Legendary remnants generally are as powerful as Mythical dragons or even more powerful. Most Mythical Dragons are believed to be remnants while a small percentage have been around since the start of the species.

Numelgonese
The Numelgonese or People of Goodra are a species of mutated Elves that reside in Purgatory. The Numelgonese hold the physical traits of the Legendary Dragon, Goodra, which grants them Draconic physical features, as well as a physiology likened to Goodra as they have extremely soft skin, horns, tails, and produce an acidic goo from their bodies. These traits differ in manifestation between members of the species, for example, some have tails while others only have horns. They are resistant or almost immune to blunt force, but weak to slashing. The Tribe has minimal outside contact with the world, but have been contacted on occasion by a Valiant Sphere Royals. The Numelgonese are said to be extremely powerful, but have no inherent capacity for hostility unless provoked or forced. Being that they are mutated Elves, they also have the inherent possession of latent magical prowess.
