Little is known of the Asteran race of dragons. Until recently, they were only a forgotten memory, a mythic legend at best.... But when they came back from the realm that they exiled themselves to, they overwhelmed the combined military force of the world, both physically, and technologically.

There armor is made of an unknown material, but it seems to be highly resistant against the elements, and ballistic weaponry. Reports from the front lines indicate that the holes on either side of their helmets, near where their mouths would be located, are used to shoot their flame, and possibly to breath. It is unknown what the symbol on their shoulder armor means. Rank has been ruled out, as all of their soldiers have been seen with the same symbol. This has made it difficult to distinguish an infantry soldier, from an officer.

The weapon that they commonly use is very... interesting. They seem to shoot a plasma-like substance. Whatever it is, it has proven devastating to our forces, as anything short of the lower part of a limb almost always results in death, whether it be instant, or drawn out. However, the sheer heat from one such blast cauterizes the wounds quite effectively, resulting in little to no hemorrhaging.

Physically, they stand between 7'8" and 8'9", however, this does make them a bigger target. There wings give them a distinct advantage, as they can cover great distances faster, and almost always have the high ground...

Okay, backstory aside, I think this might be my best piece of work yet, The only thing I am really unhappy about is the shading on the ground, and FA resized it (slightly) making it look less clean (if that makes sense) than the actual version...
If you read my story entitled, 'From the Ashes' , this is what the world will be up against.

Anyway... Comments are much appreciated, thanks ^.=.^
