Background

Ages past Zamendrya the Dragonqueen sent a select few Dragons out across Auria to settle on each continent so that they may better watch over the world they protect. Those that landed on the then-still peaceful land of Voi'Runil would experience first hand how the Cosmos tore a rift through the sky over the land and corrupted it. Having been caught in the blast zone, the Dragons that inhabited Voi'Runil would forcefully be transformed into monstrous two-headed creatures that possessed greater cosmic powers. When Zamendrya lost contact with those that she sent to Voi'Runil, she sent out a messenger only to receive word of what had happened, weighing the idea of purging the island and her children that she sent there but a chance meeting with Zin'Chul, the Dragonlord of the now-known Chimeras swayed her to reconsider it.

Chimeras are predatory in nature on the dark island, hunting the other beasts for survival and often clashing with the local Forduni and Veryn. They continue to hold close ties with the Draconic Empire, considering themselves an excellent opportunity to learn more of the Cosmic forces that wish to eradicate their world.

Powers

Chimeras are adept in both arial and land combat, being able to switch tactics on the fly if needed. They have long fangs to use as weapons and nocturnal vision to hunt at night time. Many Chimeras wield lightning-based Magic to attack in combat and their poisonous bite can disable or even kill mortals if left uncured. They are also adapt in shadow magic, using it primarily to stealth and ambush their foes even in broad daylight.
