I'd figure much of it stems from the fact that dragons will inevitably outlive the vast majority of humans/beings they encounter. So the number of dragons that actively seek to have sexual relations with fragile, short lived humans would be exceedingly small.
If dragons can hold an attitude of humans not being worth a conversation then why would they care if they would outlive them? A lot of creatures can treat relationships as disposable for a momentary thrill. Dragons might be a lot like Zeus and do it for kicks and then fly off. Ones who grow to care about their humans might seek forms of life extension for them.
I think you meant "him" since you're referring to an older brother
Yeah I switched genders halfway through
I really don't see that many dragons going to that length to dispose of a human as they're more than powerful enough to not need trickery.
That depends on the community. You never know what kind of MD explosives might be around if you attack an entire community openly. Plus seducing them first might alter the taste of the meat.
in those instances where a demon or succubus or vampire does lure someone out, the average person runs screaming in the other direction.
Only if they are able to, once the illusion is revealed. These are other good examples of supernatural shapeshifters, where sensing someone is a supernatural being, no matter how normal they look, should have people on guard and not wanting to risk fraternizing with them. It only builds the case against Sea Titans to add other more sinister examples than dragons
It would jeopardize them in the way that, as I said before, the average person in Rifts is scared of SN creatures and would not react well to the idea that their seemingly normal next door neighbor is a SN monster.
This is already reality. Compared to the already present alternatives, Sea Titans are not that big of a worry. We're just injecting supernatural creatures who happen to be humans with human instincts into the mix of evil human-gobblers.
if Doctor Bradford learned of the existence of a Sea Titan through his network of spies, he'd do anything he could to get his hands on a sample of DNA so he could test it, which would show him that that there are MORE of them out there and he'd use that info to turn the CS onto them in the form of an actual witch hunt just so he could have the Emperor distracted long enough so he could perform more experiments on people.
Even if the CS learned of them, pretty sure they have other priorities. The Ticonderoga is not the only boat on water full of supernatural creatures. Considering they help the NGR and battle things like Horune/Naut'Yll/Splugorth the CS would recognize it's better to leave them alone for now.
all this is happening Bradford is quietly creating Sea Titan Super soldiers and possibly even adding the Sea Titan genome to the CS genepool, thus making the CS the most powerful force on land as well.
I don't see a problem with this, and I don't think Nemo would either. In fact, if Bradford did this, it would solve the primary problem impeding CS/New Navy relations. I don't think Nemo dislikes Karl Prosek as much as you might think.
If the CS was composed of Sea Titans instead of SDC humans, while that might scare you because of how strong it would make them, it would also make the humans feel a lot less scared, and that's a good thing for D-Bees.
Sea Titans don't have as much to fear from D-Bees, they don't have to be as brutal with them or with magic. Magic and monsters become less dangerous to them. They'll still be paranoid about protecting their SDC kids but less so with the adults.
Longer-lived humans will have more time to acquire wisdom, and be less prejudiced against other longer-lived races since there wouldn't be jealousy.
There's less incentive to genocide dragons for fear of them ripping you in half in a single swipe if they are no longer able to do that. In fact you'd probably start pitying a lot of races for being weaker than you, opening the door to sympathy.
The CS are not inherent human supremist D-Bee haters, they have rational precautions which would lessen, along with their hatred, if they were less threatened.
