Naturally, as soon as Gaara makes an appearance in my head, Vlad and Farfarello adopt him and put him to bed with a teddy bear.

*palmsmack*

Lists (Bloodlines):
Cain, Nightfire, Vlad, Silvrena, Shakrena, Nixrena, Auren, Farfarello.

A little bit about Vlad- this isn't the Vlad that I roleplayed with, this is a much earlier character who doesn't actually exist in any continuity, not really. He's related to a bunch of other characters, but he mostly just hangs out in my head and doesn't say much. Quiet type. Likes animals.

He's part of a rather prestigious dragon bloodline- old, old fanfic idea, involving characters from everywhere, but primarily FF games- he's one of the Children of Bahamut. In actuality, he's the great, great grandson of Bahamut, and he's only 3/8ths dragon; his mother was 3/4ths and his father was a half-elf. Since he is descended directly from Bahamut and a number of very old, powerful dragons, he gets all of the perks associated with the bloodline (unlike some of his cousins, like Shakrena and Nixrena, who are 1/8th and 1/16th dragon, respectively). This means he actually has a dragon form and a half dragon form, though his half dragon form looks more humanoid than, say, his mother's, and his dragon form is actually amazingly runty. (That's his father's fault; Kris was short.)

He and Shakrena are cousins, though their parents are only half siblings. They're also both reds (and redheads; I seem to have a lot of those running around), though Vlad is kind of a wuss in battle, while Shakrena is about as bloodthirsty as they come. Despite her lack of bloodline, (her grandmother was a full human, while his was a full dragon), Shakra gained the right to the title of a Child of Bahamut through rite of combat rather easily. Vlad got himself nearly killed trying, and had a champion step in for him.

His main strength comes from his father's side; he's got a very deep connection to the forests of Toroia, where his father's family comes from. He may be a red dragon, but his elements are earth and air in every way that counts; there's almost no fire in him. He's a Speaker, which means he can speak to and understand anything, particularly wild animals and recalcitrant trees.

So, a sneeze will knock him over, but if he starts talking, you're doomed. He's a very persuasive sort of guy, you see. Persuasive enough to persuade rampaging demons to take a nap, even.

As for Farfarello...he decided he wanted to be a dragon as soon as he was introduced to the others, and no one was going to argue with him- so he's a rogue, and no one knows where his bloodline is coming from. He's also second generation, which puts him on equal footing with Cain- or it would, if he weren't nucking futs, and if Cain weren't so much older than him. Farf's a baby compared to Cain- he's also a white, while Cain is blue, and the cold just conducts electricity better. *grin*

Naturally Vlad and Farfarello would start shacking up, since Farfarello's (and all of Weiss') introduction to the other people in my head involved lots of explosions and lots of people going fucking batshit. Vlad is very good at calming down psychopaths; he plays calm-down-the-behemoth on a daily basis, and has actually managed to get Cain and Auren to stop fighting once or twice. (Cain gets along fabulously with his daughters (Silvrena and Nightfire), but his only son...ouch. They've got some issues, those two.)

So, yeah. Vlad decided to convince Shukaku to take a nap, and now Gaara is sleeping. A lot. And Farfarello is all "Hey, we have the same haircut, and he's a murdering psychopath too! Cute! Lets keep him!" And everyone else is like, "Dude, haven't we got enough demons and monsters around here?" And I'm all, "If it'll make me stop writing fanfiction, I don't care what the fuck you do."

If Gaara or any of the Naruto characters decide they want to be dragons too, I'm gonna have to lay the smackdown on somebody. It would be beyond ironic if it turned out to be Lee. ...though actually, given the current state of things, it would be not only more than a little appropriate, it'd also work in ways that I don't really want to contemplate. Damnit!

Lee would be a green, obviously, and he'd probably be second generation like Cain, since the only other green was Cain's father...It would explain why he can't do genjutsu or ninjutsu, since none of the early generation children can use magic of any sort unless it's inherent dragon stuff, and even then, they're bad at it. It all makes sense!

...And now I'm going to stab myself in the eye with a fork. *sigh*
