I am thinking that this dragon's teacher was killed in the down cycle,and wile is some what close to becoming a great dragon is still at least decades away from doing so.

Now would it be totally stupid to make a dragon like this and a corp?

As to why I would want to make these two things,I was looking to a story on the lines of this dragon being locked in a fight with a person for control of the corp. They have roughly the same amount of shares, and another share holders dies. Do to the timing and many other factors the stocks have no clear legal owner.

So the two factions decide to do a bet. The dragon choses the contest,witch would be something along the lines of an easter egg hunt. The human picks who will do it. So he picks one the dragon's pet project. This being a cabal of magically active people with strange talents. They are threw various means tricked into thinking that every other member of the cabal is dead,and spread too the wind. I am still working on more detail..I hope this story doesn't sound too corny.

Well, there are five people,and depending on who wins the hunt,determines who would gain the shares. Two for each the dragon and the human,and one wild card.

I was going to mainly work on the wild card. But I have been thinking of letting other people do the stories of the rest.

ABout the only things I have set in stone about the characters are what types of magic they fallow.

One is a female elf who follows the totem City.
One is a follower of the totem Computer.
One is a idol worshiper,of herself.
And one is a hermetic that doesn't summon normal elementals...They tend to be things like metal,lighting, magma or something like the normal ones, but not really.

The character I was going to work on would be something like a voodoun, but he summons up emotions and mind sets...He is also is not wholly "sane".

As for the company,I was thinking it would be a company based out of CAS. It would largely be based off contracts with cities,or other corps. It wouldn't be one to really touch the lives of normal people. At least directly. It has large power plants that tend to be clean,and it deals with way to manage waste on macro scales. It has some IP rights in magical fields, but as noted it isn't a threat to any of the big ten.

As for the dragon, the only details that I think should be set in stone is that, yes it is publicly a dragon.The dragon seems to hate both Big D,and Ghost Walker, and is strangely chummy with some of the elven higher ups in the TIR.
