Dragons are quite different from what you'd think - the dragons you might think of are called draechons - and even those are just a subtype! There are many types of dragons, and all dragons are governed by Aspects, Elements, and Magicks.
Types of Dragons
As said above, there are many types of dragons. So many that I have put every type into a subpage. Dragon types also have subtypes, so each subpage will explain the type of dragon and its subtypes.
Aspects, Elements, and Magicks
Dragons of almost all types are governed by Aspects, Elements, and Magicks. The time of a dragon's birth and the stone it is given at birth determine what its personality, elemental energy, and magick power will be as soon as it hatches.
Aspects
Aspects govern the base personality of a dragon. A dragon's Aspect is determined by the time of day which it is born in.
If it is born at midnight (0000 or 12am), then its Aspect is Wisdom.
If it is born between 0001 and 0600 (12:01am and 6:00am), then its Aspect is Joy.
If it is born between 0601 and 1200 (6:01am and 12:00pm), then its Aspect is Strength.
If it is born between 1201 and 1800 (12:01pm and 6:00pm), then its Aspect is Honour.
Finally, if a dragon is born between 1801 and 2359 (6:01pm and 11:59pm), then its Aspect is Love.
Elements
Elements govern the elemental energy of a dragon. A dragon's Element is determined by the season in which it is born.
If it is born in the winter, its Element is Ice, and its colours will be blues and whites.
If it is born in the spring, its Element is Earth, and its colours will be greens and browns.
If it is born in the summer, its Element is Fire, and its colours will be reds, yellows, and oranges.
If it is born in the fall, its element is Air, and its colours will be greys, silvers, and blues.
The last Element, however, is different. If a dragon is born on a total solar eclipse, its Element will be Darkness, and its colours will be purples and black or dark grey.
Magicks
Magicks govern the magick power of a dragon. A dragon's Magick is determined by the stone it is given at birth by either its parents or another party. Some dragons are never given a stone, or not given a correct stone, when they are born, and thus have no Magick, and are considered outcasts of Dragonic society. These are called cursed dragons.
The Magicks also determine eyecolour. Cursed dragons' eyecolours are genetic.
If a dragon is given an amethyst, its Magick is Temporal, and their eyecolour is purple.
If it is given a sapphire, its Magick is Energy, and their eyecolour is blue.
If it is given a topaz, its Magick is Fluid, and their eyecolour is yellow.
If it is given a ruby, its Magick is Material, and their eyecolour is red.
If it is given an emerald, its Magick is Spiritual, and their eyecolour is green.
