Greetings everyone.
I am working on a simple background for my Silver Dragon PC that I plan on including in our groups next campaign (10th level) and would like to see what everyone thought of it and if it is believable and non-contradictory. The dragons in our game use the D&D draconomicon as a reference guide even though we are playing in Golarion
Place and date of birth
Pharos hatched within his mother’s lair, located somewhere within the mountainous regions of Andoran on the 12th of Erastus 4671.
Background
Pharos is a Juvenile Silver Dragon of Lawful Good alignment and has now recently past his fortieth year. Older silver’s pass him off as another youthful (to a dragon) idealist, but Pharos sees himself as something more akin to a Paladin (In relation to hunting down evil and aiding good).
He hates evil creatures (particularly demons and devils) and despises evil dragons. Those whom worship evil deities also earn his resentment and righteous fury. Though many of his scales are now chipped and scared Pharos bears them proudly and views them as trophies for his many hard fought victories against countless evil foes.
While he is grim and relentless in the pursuit of evil, Pharos is generally lighthearted and cheerful and laughs aloud when deeply amused.
Habits
-Because of his mobile lifestyle Pharos favors magical containers that hold more that their size would indicate i.e like bags of holding, handy haversacks, portable holes and the like. These items allow Pharos to carry his more valuable treasures with him.
-Though lawful and good, Pharos is not one to care for hierarchies and formal authority. He believes that living a moral life involves doing good deeds and taking no actions that bring undeserved harm to other beings.
-Pharos enjoys the company of good-aligned humans and other humanoids. Whilst in their company, Pharos usually assumes a humanoid form, both as a practical matter and to keep the humanoids at ease.
-He is a fairly avid collector of items with magical properties, specifically those that aid his cause against evil, and he will commonly adorn himself with them.
What do you think?
There is nothing "contradictory," per se. The personality doesn't totally jive with how Silvers are depicted in "Dragons Revisited," and Golarion Dragons don't really do the "pretend to be human and hang out with lesser creatures" thing. But given that the character is an individual, there is no reason to treat these things as a straitjacket.
So, seems fine to me. Should make for a good time.
It seems fair. The only sticking point for me would be his seeming lack of respect for "formal authority". How is he of lawful alignment if he doesn't care for legitimate authority? Sounds to me like he's Neutral Good.
