Now that things have already been cleared up I'd like to share my idea because it kind of speaks contrary to your description of the bonding process in a way. When I saw the description of the Golden Dragon I immediately thought of having a stark contrast between the drake and the tamer. This idea came before I read about the bonding process of having the two showing complete empathy. Basically I want the two to be opposites, two sides of the same coin (or like an inverse color image, I'm still not ENTIRELY sure). Though the tamer wouldn't be dumb, s/he'd just prefer not to listen to his intellect as much as s/he could. The tamer would be brave, foolhardy and passionate where the drake would be cold, tactical and possibly condescending. I still stick to this idea even after reading about the bonding process because it honestly sounds like you're describing a more platonic version (Or not, I don't know your brain yet) of 'soul mates'. My personal belief is that friends see a lot alike with one another but the closest relationships one might have with another person is with someone very different from you yet connected to you still in some way. I don't usually jump into RPs and start throwing out philosophies on life or romance or anything like that but I like to share my thoughts on an idea that I like with anyone I'm going to work with.

Earth to Clos', you are clear to land. I repeat: you are clear to land. Over! *radio crackle*
"Roger that Control, I'm coming in for landing. Over."
Chrzzz Closet circles the landing strip, the cargo of kittens, bunnies and baby pandas bustling about in the back of the aircraft. Gravity starts to shift violently and the controls force the vessel into a nosedive straight into the concrete platform. As the metal surrounding the cockpit buckle from impact the craft suddenly ignites, spreading a blanket of flame and viscera all around the pavement like confetti.
