History YMMV / Dragonstar

* DesignatedHero: Pol within this series. He was already a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but [[he takes several levels in jerkass throughout this second series that make him increasingly unlikable and difficult to root for, including him cheating on his wife repeatedly (who is insecure, but nothing but faithful and kind to him) while she is separated from him and repeatedly antagonizing Lord Andry, his relative, who is his best prepared ally in dealing with the invading barbarians. While Andry is no saint, he is given both more reasons for his behaviour and much less sympathy by the narrative. Pol is never called out for a great deal of his behaviour and is even ''encouraged'' to cheat, as his entourage find his lover a "better match" for him, while Andry is often villified. The only way Pol maintains any sympathy is because he is fighting against genocidal invaders, which can also be said of Andry.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Emperor Mezzenbone]] is a red wyrm and the first chromatic emperor of the Dragon Empire after five millennia of good-aligned metallic rulers. Like most of his kind he's cruel and [[MasterRace regards non-dragons as cattle at best]], but even among his AlwaysChaoticEvil kin he stands out for his catastrophic plans for the galaxy. During the [[GreatOffscreenWar Dragon War]] between chromatic and metallic dragons that left many worlds devastated in its wake, he was first an important wyrm in the chromatic Asamet Kingdom and then its leader after its first king mysteriously died, and while most abhorred the tragedy of the War, Mezzenbone [[BloodKnight reveled in the slaughter]], planning to annihilate friend and foe alike and rule the remains of a lifeless universe as {{a god|Am I}}. He only changed his mind when he realized the War would claim his life too if it escalated further, and agreed to the truce that would form the Empire only because he knew he needed the 5,000 years until his guaranteed ascension to the throne in order to ensure his scheme would unfold flawlessly. In the present day of the setting, forty years after his coronation, he has introduced a number of controversial acts including forming a drow SecretPolice, supporting [[ReligionOfEvil worship of his patron deity]], [[GodOfEvil the Destroyer]], and brutally assimilating new worlds into the Empire. When he believes the time is right, Mezzenbone will unleash everything at his disposal, including systems-destroying superweapons and magical artifacts of untold power, and completely shatter all possible opposition to his scheduled {{omnicid|al Maniac}}e.

* CompleteMonster (Tabletop Game): Mezzenbone, an ancient and powerful [[OurDragonsAreDifferent red wyrm]], is TheEmperor of the Dragon Empire, the first chromatic dragon to hold that position after five millennia of good metallic emperors. Like most other reds he's cruel and regards the "lesser races" as cattle at best, but even among his AlwaysChaoticEvil kin he stands out for both his deranged mentality and catastrophic plans for the galaxy. During the great Dragon War between chromatic and metallic dragons that cost billions of lives and left countless worlds devastated in its wake Mezzenbone was first an important wyrm in the chromatic Asamet Kingdom and then its leader after the first king died under unclear circumstances that he may or may not have orchestrated, and while most rational beings abhorred the enormous tragedy of the War Mezzenbone, as a BloodKnight in the service of [[GodOfEvil the Destroyer]], reveled in the slaughter, planning not only the annihilation of his enemies but also that of his own kind and setting himself up to rule the scorched remains of a lifeless universe as a [[AGodAmI god]]. He only changed his mind when he realized the War would claim his own life as well if it escalated further, and agreed to the truce that would form the Dragon Empire only because he knew he needed the 5000 years until his guaranteed ascension to the throne in order to ensure his apocalyptic scheme would unfold flawlessly. In the present day of the setting, forty years after his coronation, he has introduced a number of controversial acts including forming an evil SecretPolice of dark elves, supporting [[ReligionOfEvil open worship of his patron deity]], and vastly increasing the rate at which his armies conquer and assimilate new worlds into the Empire, all secretly for the purpose of finally bringing destruction to all that is not him. When he believes the time is right, Mezzenbone will unleash everything at his disposal (which includes systems-destroying superweapons and magical artifacts of untold power) and in a matter of minutes completely shatter all possible opposition to his scheduled omnicide.
