Ok, a bit of backstory first.
Our group is playing with 2 dragons in it. I am playing the red dragon, my partner the blue. So far, they are quiet balanced with what a fighter could be doing (sheer number crunching, as well as allowing for a significantly more restrictive array of abilities, and other drawbacks that occur from being a dragon in general), and they both fought comparably to an Aegis. In fact, the player on player fight had the Aegis almost kill the red dragon.
My prior character was a faerie dragon telepath psion, and we have learned through play that psionics balances really well with core as well.
So for my red dragon I have put together a class that will replace his existing class (red dragon, using the bestiary levels pdf floating around on these forums. Amazing work!) that is divinely flavoured. My red dragon is a devotee of Tiamat, who will soon lose everything, and in a moment of true and utter desperation, give up everything he has left, including draconic pride and ego to appeal to Tiamat's benevolence (read the dragon origin story in the various dragon material Paizo published, Tiamat is FAR from evil!) to let him serve her.

I would like to get the views of people on how it looks. It is very much 'custom dragon', in that you need to pick and choose abilities. To look exactly like any dragon in the book would require, pretty much, burning through every feat to take ones listed in the document.
Keep in mind the comparison is not with wizard, or psion, or even fighter. The comparison is with ALL of paizo's published dragons, and on a scale of 1 to 10, with white's sitting at 3, reds at 10, blues at 7 and blacks/greens at 5, it sits at between 4 and 5.
