Backstory
Tempest was born to a noble dragon family but rejected their expectations to pursue freedom in the skies. They have spent centuries building a pirate crew and raiding airships and wealthy settlements. They are wanted across Landorya but are notoriously difficult to catch.
Daily Life
Tempest plans raids, leads attacks on targets, divides the spoils among their crew, and evades the authorities who hunt them. They live for the thrill of the chase and the freedom of the open sky.
