[QUOTE="ZAR22, post: 7892351, member: 6961667"] While this is great and all, I am not a fan of this redesign, or the fact people STILL think they are made out of the literal gems. Just as chromatics are innate sorcerers (IE arcane magic users), gems being innate mystics is just their innate magic is different (IE psionic based instead of arcane). You don't see reds or others having floating body parts, do? I liked the more traditional organic design of sapphire dragons, like the one of the sapphire dragon Bleucorundum. They are supposed to look like flesh black dragons, with a more broad human shaped upper torso, and if they really want to be original, they could have made their horns over the head and out to the side, as seen in some anime where certain demons have those forward facing horns, while looking like a black dragon's horns from up above looking down. That's how they have always been for me. And they have usually been a more colbat-ish blue, that glitters and dazzles like a chromatic blue dragon and shines like a silver dragon's scales, but under the light each scale can look a different shade of blue, and from a side view of a scale laid flat on it's back, the top surface of a scale would he translucent, like looking at the side view of a human eye, where they have that clear part, but more foggy and blurred. Glad to have them back, but NOT in this way and format, hope this is a BETA type. But I do hope they become the LEAD dragon group of the gems, because then you would have all the primary colors as leaders: red, yellow (golden), and blue (sapphire). It would feel complete color wise. And I always saw them as this king under the mountain, mole digging, (preferably USA) army drill sergeant like dragon interms of generic stereotypical personality, and war like, like a bronze dragon. But that's just IMHO based on the past official drawings and lore about sapphire dragons. [/QUOTE]
