If villains can be reformed without violence, all the better. | | 2 | Shorter-lived species often have difficulty perceiving the full scope of time's tapestry and lack the patience for my appropriately thorough explanations. | | 3 | Others might find me cold and dispassionate, but such is the price of perspective. Few creatures enjoy confronting the relative smallness of their lives. | | 4 | Disguises allow me to bestow small kindnesses and experience the simple pleasures of companionship without constantly being petitioned. I'm proud of my acting ability and never break character. | | 5 | The future is writ large in the patterns of history. I enjoy conversing with others who think critically about history and society. | | 6 | I enjoy gifts but find attempts to hire or bribe me deeply offensive. | | 7 | My reclusiveness is a filter. If someone lacks the motivation to overcome my barriers, then their matter is unworthy of my attention. | | 8 | On a long enough timescale, all actions are meaningless. So why should I deny myself anything? | ^gold-dragon-personality-traits
