10	Oh, and [[OurDragonsAreDifferent he's a Dragon]] who [[OurMonstersAreWeird ate a griffin heart to regain his wings, with his soul bounded with his Empress-consort.]] It's complicated.

13	----
14	!! This roleplay provides examples of:
15	* AntiMagic: Groups of shaman are capable of utilizing spirits to produce an anti-magic field, consuming enemy spells while leaving their allies' spells untouched, making for a potent counter for enemy mages. Though spells of sufficient strength will be merely weakened, rather than extinguished.
16	* AwesomeButImpractical: Razikale has an arsenal of spells capable of wiping out armies at his disposal. However, the time it takes to cast them and the sheer scale of them prevents them from being useful in battles against individuals.
17	%%* {{ChildProdigy}}: Razikale, as well as several of his kids.
18	* DisabilitySuperpower: Razikale was born without wings. In return, he gained a large mana pool.
19	%%* FloatingContinent: The city of Al Sharai.
20	%%* {{EmperorScientist}}: Razikale is a patron both the magics and sciences.
21	%%* {{Hermaphrodite}}: Several of Raz's kids are dual-gendered.
22	* KungFuWizard: Razikale and his apprentice after the two of them synthesize [[{{SupernaturalMartialArts}} Eastern Arts]] for dragons.
23	* LargeAndInCharge: Argostros, the Founder of the Eternal Empire, earning him the [[{{RedBaron}} title of "The Apex Dragon'']]. Later, Entiris matches him.
24	%%* MadScientist: Girogal, the Alchemist.
25	%%* MagicEnhancement: Common, with Razikale having been subjected to it since he was a child.
26	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Pretty bog-standard Western-type Dragons. Except for the fact that they're artificial creations, made to replace the original, ''Eastern'' type Dragons.
27	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Any [[{{TheArchmage}} Archmage]], who can annihilate entire armies if not [[{{AntiMagic}} countered]].
28	%%* PowerUpgradingDeformation: A common occurrence when using magic to upgrade yourself. Razikale experiences it twice.
29	%%* RisingEmpire: What Razikale seeks to accomplish.
30	%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Elimundus's goal in life, with his target being the lineage of Argostros.
31	* RoyalInbreeding: Two of Razikale's children (Abraxis, his second son; and Tian, his adopted daughter) [[BrotherSisterIncest enter a relationship]]. [[OpenMindedParent Razikale doesn't particularly mind]], partly due to the fact that not only are they NotBloodSiblings, they're ''[[InterspeciesRomance not even the same species]]''.
32	%%* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Razikale and his kids tend to get things done.
33	* SadisticChoice: Whisper offers one to Razikale after taking one of his grandchildren hostage: permanently injure himself or he will kill the hostage. Razikale opts to TakeAThirdOption.
34	%%* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: Tian, Razikale's adopted child.
35	* TheArchMage: Several, most prominently TheDreaded HeroKiller, Elimundas the [[CompleteImmortality Immortal]].
36	%%* ThousandYearReign: It's called the Eternal Empire.
37	%%* TooManyBabies: Having nine children at once is a bit too much, even for Dragons...
38	%%* UpgradeArtifact: The Mirror.
39	%%* WhatDidIDoLastNight: As it turns out, Dragons are not responsible drinkers.
40	* VestigialEmpire: The [[IronicName unfortunately named]] "Eternal Empire", at the start of the story.
