Polonium Dragons

Polonium Dragons are one of the nine Metallic Dragons of Drakomere. They are associated with the Tone of Kineticism, the Harmony of Evocation, and the Melody of Arcane. They originated in the Archipelago, and are associated with the Origin Ancestry, the Aguinn. Due to their association with Evocation Magic, they are also tied to the vice of Anger, and the virtue of Temperance, as well as a stronger tie to Tiamat, thus also being related to the sea.
Polonium Dragons originated in the Archipelago, typically staying in its more southern and temperate regions. They have a dark metallic coloration, but they also tend to glow blue, which makes them naturally pretty bad at things like stealth. They have zero Allokin.
Polonium Dragons don't have many population centers, the largest one being the Polonium Barony in Drakion. For the most part, Polonium Dragons tend to hyper-value their freedom and independence, and often live as scavengers, gathering materials as they go and moving constantly, rather than putting down roots. The life of a Polonium Dragon is often that of a nomad, making them perfectly fit for the transient, pirate infested lands of the Archipelago. This is also well, as too many Polonium Dragons settling down in one place for an extended period of time is usually quite bad for the environment they reside in. The radiation they naturally give off starts killing and mutating the flora and fauna nearby, as well as radiation poisoning most of the wild and sapient life.
The Polonium Barony has much of its land protected by radiation resistant materials such as lead and tungsten to resist the radioactive effects that the high number of the Polonium Dragons produce. Oddly enough, despite the radiation, almost no static electricity is present around large numbers of Polonium Dragons.
As Polonium Dragons age, they strangely start to take on some of the physical and social traits of Lead Dragons. Polonium Dragons are also deathly susceptible to acids, and dissolve harshly, being easily hurt by them.
Many Polonium Dragons tend to have a strong moral code, for better or for worse. This can send them into an almost explosive rage when their morals are constantly disrespected and tarnished. This, combined with their radioactive and sickening nature cause Polonium Dragons to often be seen as childish or immature, but this is typically an inaccurate portrayal of Polonium Dragons.
