Yes, that would be rather fitting. Dragons likely would be one of the more powerful species around. Particularly likely to be true if they have a Tolkien elf like existence. Btw a good deal of the inspiration for this character comes from Heroes of Might and Magic, specifically the necromancers who worship the spider aspect of Asha.

Also we are discussing how death will work before life even begins. Then again, I guess Atropos was said to be older than Clotho.

If Maligant and/or Attaval get in on the creation of the Dragons, this would make sense. I think they would likely have a sort of Social Darwinist "if you're dead, stay dead, and make way for the proliferation of the superior beings who will replace you" philosophy, and thus would make sure their servants are immortal but have perma-death.

Should we have a term for beings created before reality and beings created after? because 'mortal' doesnt exactly fit all we might create, and gods that join later arent exactly like these firstborn as they have never experienced the unspace.

pre-reality and post-reality gods.

So... Gods created before the first star are the firstborn. Gods created after are the secondborn?

Wouldn't we all be the firstborn?

Doesn't really sound all that mythic. How about we break it up into groups?

Original gods: Proellia? Protegnoi? Precursors? Andol-uvira?
secondborn gods: ???
Gods:

First beings: Eldar? Ancients? Precursors?
Immortal beings: Imon-athari?
Mortal beings:

Anyway just a suggestion.

Anamara has a similar tendency, though she allows for one to persist (as undead) if they have the willpower or smarts to resist death. With the dragons however, considering their inherent immortality and power, she likely will not have them become undead.

You can, but given your primary attributes and personality you seem like someone who would show up 20 minutes after creation and be all " Wow, what's this we have here?"

We are still going to need to make the terms OOC, even if we don't do so IC. The gods however should make terms for the first 2/3.

Oh yes, this is just hilarious.

Is he ever going to use any of his divine power?

I will probably wait for Danceria before I respond again. Anamara will likely first begin as a conceptual diety rather than working on the solid foundations of the world anyway.
