Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ryndricroxxar was hatched on another world. As a Wyrmling, he found his way into the City of Sigil, where he formed a small corps of vigilantes to fight street crime. He amassed a fair bit of wealth, taking from those street gangs the wealth they had skimmed from the city. He would look back on this simple time as some of the most enjoyable years he'd ever lived.
When he grew into a young dragon, he began exploring the worlds connected to Sigil. He found humanoids to be somewhat tedious, but the vast width and breadth of the exerience of the dragons he met could not be overstated. He began networking them together, across worlds in some cases. Mutual defense pacts, pen pals, and even raiding parties grew out of these networks. Ryndricroxxar became a thorn in the side of Chromatic dragons everywhere.
When he became an Adult, he had led several raids and campaigns against the Chromatics. He began to hear a calling from Bahamut, to force his way into the world of Kobos and claim it. His great crusade began as he returned to Sigil, and called in centuries' worth of favors. Dragons flooded the city, and he found a way into Kobos; the Chromatics had just made their entry and the portal they had used would remain open for a few years. Ryndricroxxar led his army through, and the Calamity War began in earnest.
The Ioth'Darsshehad were dominant for the first portion of the war. Ryndricroxxar led a strike force against Sahdiopenzith herself with an eye to ending the war with her death. The Hatibahu Scet had already been committed, and She of Many slaughtered most of the strike force. Ryndricroxxar fled with a few of his allies. He spread the word among his realm that he would propose a new weapon, and the Alloy Pact was called. He revised his strategy to one of patient opportunism and otherwise fighting for a stalemate, hoping to grind the enemy down over the next few millennia while his power grew.
Once True Dragons stood, masters of the world, Ryndricroxxar organized his kingdom and set about creating a golden age. Now ancient, he finally took a wife and several concubines, producing an impressive number of progeny. He shepherded his nation through several ages and thousands of years as the war slowly ground on. The static state of the war was disrupted eventually when a band of Dole Dragons breached his palace's defenses and attacked him in his own throne room. He slaughtered the creatures, but in the fray one of them had broken off and murdered the queen before fleeing.
Ever since, his thoughts turn only to the war and its conclusion, and he leaves all other considerations behind.
Sexuality
In his youth, Ryndricroxxar maintained a harem of female Gold Dragons, but eventually ended the practice when his paramours became targets for assassination. He now focuses his energies on creating Half Dragons for use as shock troopers, the dreaded Baprivi. The breeding stock for these warriors are Scalykind and Humans chosen from around the kingdom for various positive or useful traits.
