Nature of the Dragon Gods

When separated into the six weaker entities, does each dragon have its own mind? Probably not, but I want to make sure.

Yes, each one seems to have their own personality. Just look at Harle for example.

"Green--red--yellow--blue--white--black--moon/harlequin/psuedo-frenchy sort of girl--By your powers combined, I am Captain Evil Dragon!"

I guess Harle is kinda like Heart?

Well...Harle is special, a creation of the dragons, so it would think different from them. Her love for Serge being a good example. All I mean is that when you defeat Fate, you see the dragons speak the same sentence part by part. The second to last dragon says, "Now, for all humans..." then the last dragon says, "I shall make you bleed!". So it kinda sounds like a single entity saying it, you know? Not to mention they all say the same things, and express themselves the same way when you meet them.

actually, if I recall, harle says before merge: "I wish I didn't have to fight you." I think she's fighting serge more for the sake of the other six needing to fuse, then rather for herself.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Harle has her own will since she's different from the other dragons. And her loyalties lied with them slightly over Serge, even if she loved him. What I am wondering is if the other six dragons are all the same entity split up, so they all think alike. That would explain their same sentence structure.

The way I thought of it, the Dragons (Harle included for the sake of argument) are each a splinter of the complete Dragon God/Lunar Dragon.  They're independently-minded, but they all stem from a single being with a single mind and will, and, for the most part, all have the same fundamental desire for reunification.  Each Dragon is its own person/dragon, but at the same time longs to return to the single entity it was once a part of.

Well, that's my take on it, anyway.

Hmmm....The rest of the dragons would be able to take on "Human Avatars" such as Harle?

i agree. the dragons personalities seem to take off their nature element. for example, the blue dragon is peaceful and quiet, such as water is portrayed. the green dragon can be "wild" (eating serge and company) as a jungle. the red dragon wants to fight, and has a "fiery" personality. the black dragon isn't what id call "evil", hes just..."dark"ish. the "white" (sky) dragon is compassionate (saving serge and company from Dead Sea collapsing) and "light" or "holy". the earth dragon is....um....down to earth. :?? and harle is....uh...harle :) but she has the whole "im in love with serge!" attitude, so it is possible she might be "heart" or "love".

thats my theory. what do u guys think?

Whoa -- can anyone offer evidence to support or deny Korvis' musings? This is a thought-provoking question, and, if the answer is the affirmative, would open many possibilities for fanfiction and hacking and the like.

Harle's nature as a dragon god? One might say she is over the moon for Serge ;) Moonstruck, as it were.

Such isn't an unreasonable conclusion. After all, the Dragon gods aren't really dragons. To quote Belthasar in CC:

Quote from: Belthasar
   The Dragon Gods were originally
   a singular plasma life-form...
   ...A living accumulation of the
   planet's energy!
   Originally it was a biological
   machine used to control the
   powers of nature in the future
   society of the Reptites.
   In order to control the natural
   energy itself, FATE divided the
   one Dragon God entity up into
   6 weaker plasma life-forms...
   Then scattered them across
   the land and sealed them away.
   Their dragon-like appearances
   are just pseudo-guises...
   ...Temporary forms they take
   so that they can appear in
   this dimension.

There doesn't seem to be any indication that the dragon gods have to take those specific "pseudo-guises," just that they do. Presumably, Harle is also a plasma life-form and her appearance is also just a "pseudo-guise." It seems reasonable to suppose that she could have taken on a form of a Dragon instead, or that the Dragons could have taken on human form instead.

Uh oh... I hear plot work gears churning!

That can never be good.

(And by never I mean almost always.)
