The Five Evil Philosophies are based on the SevenDeadlySins, minus Envy and Gluttony. Each of these philosophies are based on rejecting their matching sins while still being addicted to it, resulting in a borderline SplitPersonality.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Dragons' sense of ethics differs seriously from humans', and their moral compass change to reflect that after the Coronation; things like the death of mortals don't affect them as much as it did back when they were humans, while things humans consider petty offenses can completely shake them.

Just to give you an idea, actions like "allowing an insult to go unchallenged" or "going a month without demanding some kind of tribute" are things that can cause your KarmaMeter to get lower.

** While Oroboroi don't necessarly hate humans, they consider themselves superior to them. This isn't entirely bad though, as because of this they tend to believe they are supposed to behave better than mankind.
** Exterminators are humans hunters who seek Dragon Hearts not to eat them, but to destroy them out of sheer hatred toward the Oroboroi.

** [[TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem Vampires]] can get in conflict with Dragons because they are feeding on their human constituants, which Oroboroi usually are uncomfortable with. Dragon blood also holds a flavor Kindred consider irresistible, though there are rare occasions where the two strike a bargain, allowing the vampire to get pints of dragon blood without conflicts.

* BlessedWithSuck: As usually is the case with the ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness''. You are an immortal, fire-breathing, flying reptile with supernatural abilities and capable of taking a human form. However, your entire life depends on a SoulJar you have to protect at all cost, since its destruction would mean the end for you. And ''a lot'' of enemies will try to get their hands on it, from humans eager to destroy it out of hate for your kind or to devour it so they can acquire your powers, to other dragons who just have an addiction to it; you are very likely to sink into paranoia, always living in fear that people might get their hands on the ''one'' thing that could instantly kill you despite all your power. You also now need to maintain a position of authority over humans to survive, otherwise you will end up gradually turning to stone and cease to exist. And finally, [[EldritchAbomination the Deep Ones]] are likely to approach you and try to lure you into a DealWithTheDevil so they can harvest your organs.

The chosen splats are referred to as ''Philosophies'', which describe how Dragons interpret and understand the world. There are two types: the Dominion Philosophies, based on conclusions regarding the Collapse, and the Five Evil Philosophies, based on the rejection of sins.

The Dominion Philosophies are:

* '''Ash''': Philosophy of nihilism, following the belief the world is crumbling around them with no option but acceptance. Fatalistic, broody, and slow to make friends.

* '''Blood''': Philosophy of honor, believing broken oaths are the source of the World's problems. Determined and serious, these dragons lay judgement constantly.

* '''Bone''': Philosophy of second chance, believing that while the world is indeed fragile and broken, it's still possible to fix it. Eternal optimists, they are quite friendly and lovable.

* '''Sweat''': Philosophy of hard-asses, believing pain is the only true sign of life, and to settle into comfort is to resign into mediocrity. Though and difficult to get along with.

* '''Tears''': Philosophy of carpe-diem, feeling that the world is lost in its apathy and in need of an "awakening", but willing to use less than savory methods to cause it. Scary and difficul to trust.

Added DiffLines:

* GlamourFailure: The Knights of the Bloody Chalice sweat blood whenever they are in proximity of a supernatural creature. This is meant to help them locate beings whose blood they could use for their ritual, but it also serves as an useful way for the Oroboroi to identify them.


Added DiffLines:

* ImmortalitySeeker: The Knights of the Bloody Chalice are a group of humans dating back from the feudal days of the Collapse who practice a ritual involving bathing yourself in blood to restore their youth and strength for one year, allowing them to prolongate their lifespan indefinitely as long as they do it on regular basis. They tend to favour blood from supernatural beings for its extraordinary qualities, and Dragon blood in particular.
