HIGH RANK COLORS
[/size]Diamond
These large males tend to be very noble, rash, protevtive of any life, and open minded. These dragons rarely realize just how deadly some of their actions can be. Diamonds also just tend to be willing and desirable in protecting the weyr and clutches. When they father a clutch they act very much like a bronze father would. Diamonds are large and their hides are rough unlike other dragons hides they don't need oiling. Their hides area bluish silver color and the scales tend to sparkle and shine in bright sunlight much like a faceted gemstone.

Gold
These are the second largest dragons on Pern. They are dominant over all other colors; (except the Bloods) any non-gold dragon will invariably obey a queen's orders, even against the wishes of its own rider. Queens are incapable of digesting firestone and producing flame; however, they do fight Thread - they fly in the lowest wing, with their riders armed with specially designed flamethrowers to flame any Thread missed by the above wings. An egg that is going to hatch a gold dragon is notable: It is gold-colored and larger than other eggs.

Bronze
They are almost always the ones to mate with queens, as the smaller colors generally lack the stamina to chase and catch the gold dragons when they rise to mate. Due to the 5-1 bronze/gold ratio and the infrequency of gold mating flights, they often mate with the other female dragons, but their size often puts them at a disadvantage in chasing the agile, smaller females. The senior bronze of a Weyr is determined through which bronze wins the mating flight of the senior gold. The rider of a bronze dragon is always a heterosexual male.
