Firstly this rp has a lot of content so bear with me... as I understand that many of you who will join this rp are busy with school and other things, this rp is designed so that you can post as much or as little as you want (as long as you post at least once every three days), and is pretty story based. I will be the ‘DM’ basically pushing the story along and being the NPC’s, with support from Ivernus who will be a major character. I may be a character if more people are needed, though I would prefer to just be in charge of the story telling. This rp is open to all, and I’m hoping enough people will find the time to join it, and I will try and make it as enjoyable as possible. As a bonus I’ll draw pictures of your dragons.
Background (some things you may need to know for the rp) :
Our story begins in the land of Draconis: A fabled land where Humans and Dragons live in harmony with one another forming a life-long bond broken only by death. (For the purpose of this rp, although there is a technical difference between dragons and drakes the term is used interchangeably here).
Humans receive their dragon companion at around 15 years of age (or older depending on when one feels ready to undertake the long journey to Dragon Roost for the Egg Ceremony – see below), as this is the relative incubation period for dragons. Humans and their respective dragon are born at the same time and thus share an invisible, but strong link for the rest of their lives.
Due to a dragon’s long life span and magical properties, humans often live far longer than they naturally would when they live alongside their dragon. When the human dies the dragon joins the wild population for the rest of eternity. The wild dragon population breed and produce the newborn dragons that will accompany another human through their life.
Often dragons stay within a human lineage, for example the golden drakes – symbols of the royal monarchy which are born to humans within the royal lineage only. Families therefore tend to possess the same line of dragons through time, and often dragons form breeding pairs from their human marriages to produce the next of kin dragons for their humans’ offsprings.
Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, and their growth and power depends on the spirit of their human counterpart, thus by looking at someone’s dragon it is sometimes easy to tell what kind of person they are. A small but powerful dragon indicates hidden potential. A large but weak dragon indicates an over-confident character who is not capable of what they think they can achieve. A large and strong dragon indicates a strong person who is capable of just about anything. A small weak dragon often indicates a person weak in character and often low in confidence or cowardly. After their critical growth period, dragon size does not change, however dragon power may change if their owner’s spirit changes. Dragon size is often not extreme enough to provide an accurate prediction however.
Dragons also communicate through telepathy – but only to their owners and other dragons. Dragons cannot communicate with humans that are not their own.
Draconites (the human inhabitants of Draconis) do not follow a religion – they believe that their purpose in life is to provide company and care for their dragon companions in their first year of their life. The human-dragon bond is important for the dragon’s growth and learning for when they join the wild population. Draconites believe that after death their souls unite with their dragon companion, and they live within the heart of their dragon forever.

Dragons and Story
The Elemental Drakes:
Nearly all of the Dragon inhabitants of Draconis are elemental – and there are many different elements – some being rarer than others. Elemental Drakes all have elemental strengths and weaknesses. The elements of the Dragons are polarised – those with more pure hearts are likely to get dragons that those with a tainted heart could not achieve, and vice versa. Full list of the dragon elements and polarisations are below.
The Golden Drakes:
Draconis was a peaceful land, ruled by a royal monarchy – The Golden Drakes. As suggested by the name, all of the royal family possessed Golden Dragons – extremely rare dragons that possessed a power known only as ‘Universal’. They were not of elemental magic like their brethren, instead Universal magic would most simply be described as raw power – magic in its purest form. Golden Dragons also possessed a calming aura that brought peace to all those that were within their presence. The Golden Drakes were thus excellent delegates and could usually find the most peaceful resolution to heated disputes through the calming of both parties in question. Since the uprising however, no Golden Drakes have been seen.
The Black Drakes:
http://bunnibunni.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1376&stc=1&d=1284637830
All were not at peace in the land of Draconis. In the fiery mountains beyond Dragon Roost - where few dared to go, there also existed dragons of the same raw power – the Black Drakes. The Black Drakes were as rare as their Golden counterparts and little was known about their presence... until the uprising. Now it is known to all that rather than an aura of peace, these powerful dragons possessed an aura of chaos, and all within their presence begin to war – neighbours and friends alike.
The Tale of the Uprising:
Nobody knows exactly what happened during the uprising – few witnesses lived to tell the tale. Some say that a hoard of Black Drakes descended from the Fire Mountains onto the castle of the Golden Drakes like a dark cloud of chaos, taking it by force. Others tell of the uprising as a delegation gone wrong, invoking the wrath of the Black Drakes. All would agree however, that whatever the circumstances it was a complete and utter slaughter. The Black Drakes showed no mercy, and did not stop until every single Golden Drake was murdered or taken for public execution later. The Black Drakes have ruled since that day – for 25 years the once prosperous land has been dangerous and filled with crime and disease.
Hope...
In a land where it seems all hope is lost, rumours have emerged of a prophecy of the last princess of the Golden Drakes. Somehow escaping the massacre of her family, it was said that somewhere on the borders of the Black Drake Empire she was hiding. Growing, waiting, and rallying an army that would eventually take back the land from the chaos and bring peace and prosperity back to the land of the dragons - Draconis.

The Dragon’s elements:
The list shows the elements and subsequent polarisations, toward the top is more pure and toward the bottom is more corrupt – the middle elements are most neutral and thus the most common in the land of Draconis (this won’t affect your character’s choice, but the side you choose to be on will affect your options).
The elements represent ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people, and the more neutral elements are toward the middle (wind – ice). People within these ‘neutral’ elements can switch sides a lot more easily than those who are more toward the extremes. Light – Defender cannot be bad and Plague – Dark cannot be good. Other elements outside of the ones mentioned are capable of switching sides, but do not take their decision as lightly as those with more neutral elements (in other words they need a very good reason to do so).
Those with a good heart are likely to get one of the following elements:
++
Light dragons are evidence of the purest of hearts after the Golden Drakes. Light dragons are rare (no more than one person may claim a light dragon). They manipulate Light, Happiness and are thought to be a sign of good luck due to how rare they are. Their owners are usually happy, lucky, honest and well-liked people. The control light and can turn luck in their favour, or against others. They’re strong against Dark Dragons. They’re weak against Corruptors
Spirit Dragons seem ethereal and whimsical in appearance and their owners often look as if they are seeing straight through to the souls of people. Spirit dragons are rare (no more than one person may claim a spirit dragon). Spirit dragons are associated with love and can search the souls of other living things to bring out the goodness in them (for a short period of time). Spirit dragons are also very empathetic and thus are capable of reading the mind of others mostly through body language, but they do possess some psychic capabilities as well enabling them to manipulate emotions. They’re strong against Gravity Dragons (Destroyers). They’re weak against Deceivers
Essence Dragons are capable of controlling the ebb and flow of life in other creatures. They can significantly drain life as much as they can give life to the weak – but their nature prevents them from ever killing another creature in this way. Essence dragons are uncommon, (no more than 2 people may claim an essence dragon). Essence dragons can drain life, but also heal. Their owners are usually gentle. They’re strong against Plague Dragons. They’re weak against Gravity Dragons (Destroyers).
Defenders are experts in defensive magic. They are usually large, and have a stronger than usual hide and use their heavily padded wings as a shield in combat. Defenders are uncommon, (no more than 2 people may claim an essence dragon). They can use magic shields and magic barriers, cause optical illusions that can either distort a target’s image or make them disappear from sight altogether, and they also have limited teleportation capacity – enough to phase in and out of combat but not useful at all for travelling. In the time of the Golden Drakes, Defender’s owners were best known as knights. They’re strong against Deceivers. They’re weak against Dark Dragons.
Water Dragons are often very calm. Their owners are also usually calm and quiet by nature. Water dragons can manipulate any body of water, as well as create rain, clouds and fog. Water dragons are common. They’re strong against Fire Dragons. They’re weak against Ice Dragons.
Nature Dragons have a large influence on all living things. They can manipulate tree growth, and can summon and control other animals. Nature dragons are common. Their owners are usually what we would refer to as ‘hippies’. They’re strong against Corruptors. They’re weak against Plague Dragons
Wind Dragons are restless and agile. Their owners often have ADD/ADHD. Wind dragons are common. They are always full of energy and constantly wanting to move around. Wind companions usually travel a lot and are known best for exploring. Wind dragons control wind, and can form devastating wind based disasters such as tornados. They’re strong against Earth Dragons. They’re weak against Fire Dragons
Lightning Dragons are capable of incredible speeds. Their owners are usually busy and hustled people who always have somewhere to go. They are also very impatient. Lightning dragons are common. Lightning dragons control storms, lightning and are capable of producing sonic booms with their roar powerful enough to knock humans over. They’re strong against Ice Dragons. They’re weak against Earth Dragons.
Those with a tainted heart are likely to get one of the following elements:
Earth Dragons show a stubborn but down to earth owner. They can manipulate the ground, mountains and rocks, and most of their magic requires a lot of strength. Earth dragons are common. Owners of earth dragons are usually strong in spirit. It is rare to see a weak earth dragon. They’re strong against Lightning Dragons. They’re weak against Wind Dragons.
Ice Dragons reflect their cold and psychopathic owners. Ice dragons can control blizzards, snow and ice. Ice dragons are common. They’re strong against Water Dragons. They’re weak against Lightning Dragons
Fire Dragons are extremely tempestuous and hot headed – and their owners usually are as well. They control heat energy, fire and molten rock/lava. Fire dragons are common. They’re strong against Wind Dragons. They’re weak against Water Dragons.
Deceivers are the master of disguise and mind manipulation. They can create illusions, can stealth well, and are also psychic to a degree so they can put thoughts into other’s heads, or make them sense things that aren’t there. Deceivers are common. They are jesters by nature, and most humans who have a Deceiver as their companion have a twisted sense of humour. They’re strong against Spirit Dragons. They’re weak against Defenders.
Plague Dragons are renowned for spreading diseases and bringing curses onto people or towns. Plague Dragons are also known as Voodoo Dragons. Plague Dragons are uncommon, (no more than 2 people may claim a plague dragon). Owners of these are usually into witchcraft, voodoo or fortune telling – in the days of the Golden Drakes they were known as gypsies. They’re strong against Nature Dragons. They’re weak against Essence Dragons.
Corruptors are also known as Poison Dragons. Corruptors are the master of venoms, poisons and acids – and distributing them. Corruptors are uncommon, (no more than 2 people may claim a corruptor). They are capable of creating new venoms within their body. They also have acidic blood. Their owners usually dabble in alchemy and potion making – for medicinal purposes or otherwise. They’re strong against Light Dragons. They’re weak against Nature Dragons.
Gravity Dragons are also known as Destroyers. Their magic unravels that which has been done – it can drain living creatures of life so they die (relevant to their life force, e.g. a rabbit is easier to kill than a dragon), and it can provide increased wear and tear on structures and man-made objects causing them to crumble. They can even destroy the earth beneath their feet. Destroyers are rare, (no more than one person may claim a Destroyer). They’re strong against Essence Dragons. They’re weak against Spirit Dragons
Dark Dragons are evidence of the most corrupted hearts, second only to the Black Drakes themselves. Dark magic is associated with Darkness, Shadows, Fear and Nightmares. Dark Dragons are rare, (no more than one person may claim a dark dragon). They’re strong against Defenders. They’re weak against Light Dragons

The Human classes/sides:
Humans don’t possess magic as dragons do, so most that do not work as slaves on the farms for the Black Drakes, are instead forced to enlist in the Black Drake army – particularly those that show elements of tainted hearts. However, there are pockets of rebellion that have formed over the years of the Black Drake rule... those that were ignored as fighters for the army and who escaped the farms to train in the vast forests of Draconis have begun to band together in the hopes of finding the last princess.
As such, there are two available sides to this rp – the Rebels, and the Black Drakes.
The Rebels:
The rebels are simply fighters that have escaped the clutches of the Black Drakes and do everything in their power to defy their rule. The older members of the Rebels remember the days of the Golden Drakes and long for them once more, whilst those born under Black Drake rule believe that there is a chance for a better life... if only they could find the princess and restore the order.
The Black Drakes:
The black drake army consists of people who have joined by their own free will or by force. Most are brainwashed easily and do not form resistance within the ranks, but some actively resist the black drake army in secret. One of the most feared generals of the Black Drake army is Azrael – a Black Drake owner and second in command only to the Black Drake King. Azrael is sent to investigate rumours of the missing golden drake princess, and evidently joins the hunt for her... but for very different reasons than for liberation.
All classes are available to both sides:
Please note that descriptions of armour/shields/accessories are below the classes. Although this is not a D&D style rp, you will need to take into account your strengths and limitations in the battle sequences, this is to make battles more interesting than just a multitude of attack dodging. Realistically in battle most people will be injured or exhausted– if but minorly. (Thanks to Ivernus for helping with this section).
Archer – Archers are ranged warriors that fight from afar and are horrible in melee combat. They are moderately strong and fast. A bow/crossbow is almost impossible to reload while engaged in melee combat
Weapons:
Bow: The standard bow is excellent at mid-ranged attacks but is weak at close range, and more inaccurate at long range.
Longbow: The longbow is excellent for long range sniping, but makes the archer slower in melee combat. It is decent at midrange as well, although slightly less powerful.
Crossbow: The crossbow is possibly the most dangerous bow to encounter, the bolt able to pierce even dragon-hide, but with such force behind the shot, it takes a very long time to set up the next shot. Can be used at melee and mid-range but not at all for long range
Armour/Shields/ Accessories
Cloth
Leather
Studded Leather
Short Sword/Small Shield or Lance/Shield (Melee Combat)
Short Sword or One-Handed Lance (Melee Combat)
When engaged in melee, an archer will have great difficulty using a bow, as such they are permitted to swap to close range weapons. Archers are INEFFECTIVE at close range, these weapons are last ditch efforts only and you are NOT skilled with them. Archers are only skilled at archery, not sword/axe/lance fighting
Swordsman – Swordsman are light melee warriors that are moderately strong and moderately fast. They are most weak to axemen.
Weapons:
Short sword: A one-handed weapon of moderate strength and moderate speed. Can be used in conjunction with a shield.
Greatsword: A modified short-sword, having its length and width increased as much as it can be while still being one handed. As such the weapon deals far more powerful blows, but is harder to control and is slower. Can be used in conjunction with a shield
Long sword: A two-handed weapon that lacks speed but makes up for it in strength.
Dual swords: Dual sword wielding slightly increases speed at the cost of a slight decrease in strength.
Rapier: A light sword that greatly increases speed but is low in strength. Due to the style of fighting a rapier uses, you cannot use a shield. A rapier focuses on deflections and dodging rather than parries/straight up combat.
Armour/shields/accessories
Cloth
Leather
Studded Leather
Chain/Ring Mail
Plate Mail
Shield (usable only with the short-sword)
Helms
Axemen – Axemen are heavy melee warriors that are powerful but slow. They are most weak to lancers.
Weapons:
Throwing Axe: A skilful one-handed weapon that is faster than the average axeman, can be used in mid-ranged combat – but is less accurate than a bow or spear, and is also weaker in melee combat than a normal axe.
Fighting Axe: A one-handed weapon that is quite strong with average speed.
Great Axe: A two-handed weapon that is powerful, but slow, although additionally it can be swung in the opposite direction to the original swings for a more powerful – but less accurate blow.
Mace/Morning Star: A Special type of weapon tailor made for dealing heavy blows rather than slices. Armour has no effect on the damage these weapons deal, and they are also effective at destroying shields. Unfortunately they are not good for defending attacks themselves and are easier to dodge than other axes.
Armour/shields/accessories
Cloth
Leather
Studded Leather
Chain/Ring Mail
Plate Mail
Lancers – Lancers are light melee warriors that are fast but weak. They are most weak to swordsman.
Weapons:
Spear: A lightweight weapon that can be thrown for mid-ranged attack – it is more accurate than a throwing axe, but less accurate than a bow, and also very weak in melee combat.
Halberd: A two-handed powerful lance that does not affect speed. It’s about as strong as a longsword.
Lance: An average weapon that can be used as one or two handed – one provides speed for strength and two provides strength for speed.
Armour/shields/accessories
Cloth
Leather
Studded Leather
Chain/Ring Mail
Armour/shields/accessory descriptions:
Please note that these descriptions will affect your character in battle – a plate mail swordsmen will be much slower than a regular swordsman and would have difficulty dodging attacks that a normal swordsmen probably could.
Cloth: Very light armour, does not reduce mobility in anyway but provides minimal protection. User does not get tired from wearing it for extended periods of time
Leather: Light Armour, reduces mobility very slightly and provides slightly more protection than cloth. Heated battles and extended periods of use can cause slight weariness for the user.
Studded Leather: Medium Armour, does not reduce mobility to much (less freedom of movement than the light options) but provides moderate protection. Only slightly weariness will be inflicted from extended periods of use and heated battles.
Chain/Ring Mail: Medium Armour, reduces mobility noticeable (no combat rolls for example). Provides good protection, being able to deflect light blows with ease. After an extended period of use the wearer will become greatly exhausted.
Plate Mail: Heavy Armour, reduces mobility greatly, while a person can still sprint they will have great difficulty in full body motions. Provides the best protection, being able to stop most blows of all weapons save for crossbow bolts and Maces. A wearer will become exhausted very easily if forced to move around, possibly even passing out from extended battles.
Shield (usable only with the short-sword): Provides a good defensive bonus to the user at minimal cost to your attack, as the stance for using a shield reduces your freedom of movement slightly and changes your attack style. Shields can be dropped to remove this slight limitation at any time.
Helms: Provides bonus protection at a very slight cost to vision and endurance. While not of great concern to melee warriors, the sight limitation makes it very unfavourable for archers.
If you have anything else you want to add to this list, provide the details to me or Ivernus and we will consider adding it in.

-Map and World Info-
I think it’s fun to imagine verbal descriptions in your own way, which is why there is pretty extensive descriptions of the areas of Draconis. I will be adding a map a little later when I do one however, so you will just have to imagine it for now. If anyone wants to try to do a map feel free and I may use it.
General layout:
Borders of Draconis...
The Fire Mountains mountain chain mark the southern – south eastern border. The Fire Mountains is a mostly volcanic mountain chain, few are active however, the rest are mostly dormant and toward the edges of the Fire Mountains are main extinct volcanos rich in minerals and precious and semi-precious gems.
The Everlasting forest which covers a quarter of the Draconis Empire stretches past the northern edge of the Fire Mountains in the east. There is no definitive border within the Everlasting Forest that marks the beginning of the Wild Dragon lands, but it is universally agreed that the deeper you travel into the Everlasting Forest, the more perilous it becomes. The Everlasting Forest is older than recorded history and contains some trees that are thousands of years old.
Further north east is the Sky cliffs – great plateaus that are lost in the clouds almost all of the time. Even in clear weather it is hard to see the tops of these great natural monuments. Some say they are the edge of the world and nothing lies beyond them, that is why they are so impassable. Not even dragons can fly high enough to get to the top of these gigantic monuments. The Sky Cliffs border along impassable gigantic glaciers in the most northern most frozen wastelands, and alongside the Everlasting Forest as it stretches into the Dragon Wilds.
There are many glaciers in the north, though two are noticeably larger than the rest: Glaxi Major and Magna.
More northwest is a small alpine forest nestled into the valley left in the wake of a vast receding glacier, called Wake Wood.
On the other side of the Wake Wood, toward the west are steep coastal cliffs that look onto the White Sea.
As you move further south west the cliffs recede into quaint golden beaches that skip around a sheltered bay – Bloodwater Bay (named so because as the sun sets, the water turns blood red - spectacular sight that many travel to simply witness). The Bay empties out into the Blue Sea which continues to stretch down the south west coast, the coastline is dotted with rocky beaches.
A tropical forest stretches up from the south and along the south western coast known as the Palm Forest. Not nearly as big as the Everlasting Forest, it still has no definable boundary. As it edges toward the Fire Mountains it becomes sparse.
Mainland Draconis...
The mainland of Draconis that isn’t covered by forest is mainly grassland and farms.
In the middle of Draconis is a large inland lake - Oranis, at which the northern most point houses the Castle of Draconis. Rivers run from the Lake Oranis to the Blue sea, and the lake is fed by large glacial rivers that run most strongly in Flowerbloom (spring), commonly known as the Glaxial and Sage Rivers. The Sage River joins with the Glaxial just before entry into Lake Oranis. There are two rivers that run from Lake Oranis to the Blue Sea. The first is Bloodmouth River and it empties into Bloodwater Bay. The second is the Palmer River and it flows deep into the Palm Forest emptying into the Blue Sea – however the mouth of the river is unknown.
The only known desert of Draconis stretches beneath the Sky Cliffs, and is called the World’s End Desert – named so because of the Sky Cliff myth (mentioned above). No one lives in the desert, nor do many venture there. Oasis’ are known to reside within the desert, but the Sky Cliffs make travelling the desert pointless.
Stretching out before the Fire Mountains is the Dead Lands – blackened land that lies beneath thousands of years of solidified molten rock. Nothing can grow here – it is bare and barren, however it must be traversed in order to get to Dragon Roost, and most of the Fire Mountains themselves. Beyond the Fire Mountains is more extensive Dead Lands that stretch into the Dragon Wilds. The Dead Lands are particularly dangerous because fissures resulting from volcanic activity are deceptively covered by the solidified molten rock which has been known to break under dragon and human feet alike resulting in a long fall into the molten river that lies beneath the Fire Mountains.
Those that travel to Dragon Roost go with the Protector as a guide to avoid this.
There is a swamp that stretches up from the eastern side of the Palm Forest, known as Messines Swamp. Legend says that it is a haunted place, the ghosts of ancestors of a great and devastating battle walk the misty mudland, luring travellers to their deaths and constantly seeking retribution for their fates.
Populations across Draconis:
Several larger towns radiate out from the castle, but as it approaches toward the borders of Draconis, the towns become smaller farming villagers. There are a lot of small farming villages across Draconis, many too unimportant for the black drakes to care much about and are left alone for the most part.
Toward the Fire Mountains are blacksmith towns that use the lava flows from the few active volcanos there. The Black Drakes have strong control over these towns as they produce the currency and golden treasures that they so covet. The ends of the Fire Mountains are rich in ores and gems and are largely extinct volcanos. The mines there are heavily guarded also.
There are small fishing villagers spread out around the coast but not much else, and they are mostly undisturbed.
Bloodwater Bay due to its heavy tourism is heavily controlled by the Black Drakes. There are many bangalows around the Bay for visitors to stay at.
There are a few villagers dotted about the glaciers that are mostly just hardy villages and they are completely ignored by the Black Drakes – they produce nothing and are not perceived as any threat.
The Everlasting Forest houses the Rebels, but due to the size of the forest, the Black Drakes ignore it feeling it is too troublesome to search such a large area for such a small threat, and thus only use the forest for wood.
The Palm Forests house mysterious ‘natives’ – people who for whatever reason have broken off from the Draconis society and live in small solitary villages hidden in the forest. They avoid contact with more modern Draconites, and some say that rather than receive their own Dragon companions, they tame wild ones for use in their own society. For the most part they remain unknown, even to the Black Drakes, but some travelling individuals tell of their existence.
Wild Dragon lands:
Wild dragon territory was dangerous lands to traverse – while many dragons were helpful to humans, just as many had lost their attachment with humans long ago or were just plain evil – and it was these feral dragons that provided a great threat to explorers in wild dragon territory. Only the strongest or fastest travellers venture into these lands. The borders of the Draconis empire mark the beginning of the Wild Dragon lands.
Draconis Year:
The Draconis year is simply four 60 day seasons. The seasons from the beginning of the year are as follows:
Dragonsun – the equivalent of summer. The first of Dragonsun is the Egg Ceremony. The Day of the Sun (also known as the Long Equinox) occurs on the 30th day of Dragonsun.
Treefire – the equivalent of autumn (or fall).
Whitemist – the equivalent of winter. The 30th of Whitemist is the Day of Darkness (also known as the Short Equinox).
Flowerbloom – the equivalent of spring.

Rules
No godmodding: (If you’re not sure whether you’re about to godmod or not, ask me. Godmodders will be godmodded if they prove uncooperative).
Try to avoid swearing: Excessive swearing is definitely NOT allowed (I will ask posts to be changed if I think that the cussing in them is unjustified, so please just try to avoid doing it altogether).
Give others a chance to react to your actions: e.g. if you want to stab someone, say “[character] takes a stab at [character] with sword, a blow almost impossible to avoid” rather than “[character] stabs other [character] with sword through the chest killing them instantly”. This applies to NPC’s I throw in as well as other rpers.
No graphic gore or sex: (if you’re not sure what is graphic – ask before you post)
Respect other rpers: If you have a problem with a post, tell the poster what the problem is and ask them to change it. If you are asked to change your post but you don’t think you should have to, bring the issue to me or Ivernus and we’ll decide.
Try not to post your arguments in the rp thread, if you have issues post it in this thread so it can be discussed properly.
One liners – try not to do them. The more information you provide about your actions, the better other people can react and the more exciting the rp will be. It’s not vital that you don’t post one line, but it would be preferred if you didn’t.
Please abide by the lore and don’t make your own stuff up. Extremely good/bad people can’t switch sides, and those more neutral elements need to have a good reason to in order for them to switch.
Please also don’t make up your own NPC’s as I will be the only one who will be doing that. Since this rp has a plot, I will continuously be putting events in for driving the story so it shouldn’t get too boring. If you want to add anything in, ask me first.
I’m hoping to not make this rp relatively shortish with an ending which the active rpers will vote on – and the ending will determine the story for the sequel (if I decide to make one).
Character Sheet –
You may have up to two characters, but they must be on opposite sides.
Also note that dragon picking will be done in the rp.
Name:
Age: (must be at least 17 as the rp is set 2 years after you all receive your dragons, so at the time you receive your dragons you need to be at least 15.)
Description: (May use tektek but please provide a verbal description as well)
Personality: (Dragons usually reflect your personality, but it's not necessary for the rp)
Class:
Weapon: (only one weapon, examples of weapons for each class are provided in class descriptions above)
Inventory: (please be realistic, you are carrying this stuff around afterall, inventory also includes any armour or shields you have with you.)
Side: (Rebel or Black Drake. Try and keep it even.)
If you're interested definitely sign up. This rp will only start if I actually get enough people. If I get enough people over the next few days, I'll post up the rp thread so we can start. If not I'll just forget about it... Signup is open until sunday 26th september (Australian time, which means saturday 25th september for all of you on the other side of the world). At that time I will remove the character sheet indicating no new people can sign up, the thread will change to OOC not signup, and I will create a post stating that the rp is closed to newcomers. In this time you will need to choose a dragon egg, if you haven't chosen one by closing time you won't be able to rp.
At closing time your dragons will be revealed and you may THEN put your dragon type and their name in your character sheet (as well as their picture since I'm drawing one for each of you, if you want). Remember, the sooner you choose your egg the more time I'll have for drawing your dragon, if you choose it really late I may not get around to it for a little bit.

Personality: Through out his life Nurgle seems to have had poor health, but still didn't let that slow him down. Because he was always sick he studied various herbs and medications.

From studying herbs he also learned about multiple poisons, which he will put onto weapons for a DOT effect, and knowledge of how to cure them. In his free time other than studying he likes to be alone in nature, usually around lots of bugs and insects. because of his sickish complexion and odd hobbies, people tend to stay away from him crippling his social skills also.

Just to clarify some things (questions I have been asked):
Q. Do you have to be 17 or older?
A. Yes, you have to be at least 17 in the rp (there is a time skip of 2 years after you guys choose your eggs and since you need to be at least 15 to do that you need to be at least 17 for the actual rp)
Q. Why is that?
A. To make the rp more realistic: I didn't want 8 yr old children running around with super powerful dragons fighting in wars. This way it is appropriately aged so rpers can still be young adults and have the benefit of having a dragon and fighting.
Q. Can you steal Dragon eggs.
A. No. All dragon eggs are laid at dragon roost, they are protected by a defender as well as magic that allows only the owner to touch the egg.
Q. Can you steal your own dragon egg earlier than 15?
A. Technically yes, but it won't hatch until a lot longer after you turn 15 as it will not be incubated properly and its growth will be slowed and the resulting dragon may possibly be a lot weaker than it should be. However, since everyone will be choosing their egg at the same time when the rp starts I'm not going to allow it for simplicity sake.
Q. Will you be assigning our dragons to us?
A. No, you get to choose your own dragon. However to make it a little more eventful I've drawn up pictures of the eggs to help in your decision (if you can't decide). As a bonus after you all choose your dragons I'll draw up some pictures of them for you that you can have. Even if you choose the same dragon as someone else they will all be unique.
Q. Can you have more than one dragon? Is there a limit?
A. You can only have one dragon. This is because the human and their dragon companion are born at the same time and share a single bond with only one another. No two dragons share the same bond with the same human, and no two humans share a dragon either. Every human has only a single dragon. If the human dies, the dragon goes to the dragon wilds to continue to live there. If the dragon dies, the human will live the rest of their natural life without it.
Q. When do you choose your dragon and when can you put it in your character sheet?
A. When the rp begins the scenario for choosing your dragon will be available. (The key characters and Ivernus already have their dragons and don't need to choose). This is basically so everyone has a chance to get a rarer dragon rather than just the first people who join. So you will need to be quick if you've already picked ;) You can put your dragons in your character sheet once they have hatched (which will be after they hatch and they are revealed), along with their name and picture (if you want to use your picture I give you).
Q. Do humans control their dragons and can humans be controlled by their dragons?
A. No. Both humans and dragons are separate entities are have their own free will. They are essentially 'soulmates' and as such share everything in common - they like the same things, believe the same things, and dislike the same things. Arguments between humans and their dragons are rare, and in the history of Draconis there has been little cases of a dragon destroying their owner (only about 2 or 3). It's possible but extremely unlikely for your dragon to disagree with you so much it will kill you, and it has only been known to occur with the extremely tempestuous fire dragons.
If anymore questions come up I'll post them here.
Q. Can humans wield magic?
A. No. Not at all. Think of the humans in Draconis as like the population of Earth humans, the only magic is done with tricks and illusions rather than magic. Dragons are magical creatures, humans are not. I mentioned that plague was also the voodoo dragon, if you think of voodoo doctors here in our world, they mostly work with energies and karma and medicines to produce cures and curses, rather than being magical. There are no mages in Draconis, the closest you get to a magical spell is voodoo curses and such from the plague dragon owners. I will accept if plague owners wish to be witch doctors and voodoo'ers, however you're not magical and everything you do that seems 'magical' needs to have a plausible explanation.
Q. Is Voodoo or Witchcraft a class?
A. No. The classes are clearly stated in the rp introduction: Archers, Swordsman, Axemen and Lancers. As stated above, plague owners may choose to be witchdoctors as a character plot, however that is not their class and they cannot use it in their fighting strategy. They are also not magical, although they may believe in charms and things, but these objects will not affect the rp. (Something like landing a lucky strike, the character may attribute to his lucky charm but it is not the lucky charm that causes it). Again humans are not magical in any way and cannot use magic.
Q. Can I rp finding my egg?
A. Of course, but you may only find it/pick it up/have a reaction go on. Hatching doesn't occur until I post the event.
Q. Can a human use their dragon to carry their stuff (e.g. saddlebags)
A. Yes, as long as your dragon is ok with it (and since you rp both your human and dragon you can make it ok ;)) Nothing too ridiculous can be carried though.
Q. When is it too late to sign up?
A. Sunday September 26th (Australian part of the world), which is Saturday September 25th for people on the otherside of the world :P When the rp signup closes the signup thread will become the OOC thread, the character sheet will be taken out and I will post that signup is closed. If you signup but don't choose a dragon egg before closure, you won't be able to rp either, so make sure you pick an egg after you sign up!
Q. How often should I/need to post
A. As often as you feel you need to. If you know you'll be inactive I can control your character for you (or someone else you trust that is in the rp). You should post at least once every three days so you know what's going on and so if people are rping with you, they aren't left hanging waiting for you to post. If the three day limit is broken I'll do something to your character to explain their lack of responsiveness so other people can continue with the rp and it doesn't become stagnant.
Q. Do we get to choose our dragon's gender?
A. In a way yes and no. Your dragon's gender will be the same as your human's gender.

Name: Anise Blue la Bellz
Age: 18 (Took care of a dragon at age 16.)
Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1009/d17/0001/6d26838.png (http://tektek.org/avatar/39659734)
Anise has pink, glossy curls that reach to her shoulder blades along with a fashiony cap tipped down. A large snow white cape covers her neck and part of the arms. She also wears a white and black bustier and wears a lace-like skirt. The 18 year old girl also has midnight black boots with white laces, and wore sleeves on her arms. As for her weapon, she equips a long sword named "Piercer" that was passed down from her family for generations.
Personality: Has a serious attitude, and is quite strict to others, but is very hardworking that she had learned from her father that does his best to volunteer in the Dragon Roost. Although rarely, she slacks off and turns casual, along with lazing around.
Class: Swords(wo)man
Weapon: A dark crimson red long sword held by her side.
Inventory: Pocket watch, hunter's knife, Diamond-shaped dragon connected w/ a leather rope or she considers it as a "lucky charm".

Name: Azrael
Age: 32
Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1009/d17/0327/dc26517.png
Azrael is an incredibly large human, towering in at over 7 feet, his mere presence has the ability to unsettle people. He will almost always be found in his armour, the helm often casting shadows over his face, leaving only his red eyes as the most distinguishable feature. The black plate mail also hides the numerous scars he has received in his campaign as Warlord. The plate mail itself has been reinforced with dragon hide in some areas, and the gauntlets and boots are also made from dragon hide. The only other noticable feature is the giant axe he uses, the weapon being as long as him from blade to handle.
Personality: The majority of Azrael's personality remains an enigma, very little is known about him except he follows the orders of the black drakes unquestionably. His loyalty to the black drakes is unwavering, and he seems to have no remorse or mercy in achieving the goals they set for him. Azrael is calculating and cunning, these two traits combined with his ruthlessness being what earned him the favour of the Black Drakes. While all of this may be true for dealing with rebels, when dealing with his own Soldiers Azrael acts in a far more neutral manner, encouraging and helping his soldiers improve rather than berating and beating them (This does not mean he treats them lightly though).
Class: Axeman, Great Axe
Weapon: An incredibly large black great axe, bladed on both sides and adorned with a single emerald in the middle. The edges of the weapon are covered in burn marks
Inventory: Two gauntlets that seem to bare burn marks, a bunch of pouches containing varying substances, a small dagger adorned with black dragons.
Side: Black Drakes
Dragon (Already set as part of the story): Black Drake Called Arguil

09-17-2010, 09:29 AM
Mmmm, so since people are joining I figure I better put in some of the key characters and their descriptions:
Black Drake King:
Name: Erebus
Age: 33
Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1009/d17/0129/e10b174.png
Erebus is the Black Drake King, undisputably one of the most powerful figures in the land. He wears a stiff coat that gives the illusion of wings, studded leather armour mounted with plate mail shoulders as dragon heads encrusted with rubies, as well as plate mail chest. As a human he is probably one of the most physically strong in the land. He has mid-length black hair, cruel yellow eyes and sharp teeth. His crown holds the horns of his father's slain dragon - killed in battle in the uprising. As such Erebus succeeded him when they took over Draconis. Erebus wields a massive Fighting Axe, better known as 'The Executioner'. He actively travels Draconis finding excuses to use it.
Personality: Erebus is the epitome of evil. Disliking simply staying at the castle, his dragonless father usually handles the politics while Erebus travels Draconis making his presence known. He is arrogant and with good reason - no one could challenge him in a one on one fight and win (although many of the strongest have tried). Erebus knows no mercy, and he would never expect mercy to be brought on him if ever he was bested in battle. He knows no fear and he fears no one. He is sly, manipulative and extremely intelligent, thus making him an excellent strategist. Although he seems like the ultimate human he has but one ridiculous weakness - and it's not going to be told :p
Erebus trusts nobody but Azrael - they grew up together and came to the agreement that he would be king and Azrael would be the warlord as he had more of a lust for battle than Erebus did. Erebus enjoys throwing his weight around as king, and often travels with Azrael terrorising the populace and crushing any rebels or sympathisers. Once rumours of a lost princess reached him he ordered Azrael to search for her (or clues of her at least) but did not accompany him all of the time, being called back to the castle to deal with things and such. Instead while not with Azrael, Erebus is accompanied by two of the strongest black drakes in the army, as well as a score of Gravity and Dark Drakes - those that are the most evil. They fly the land 'visiting' towns and villages that have been showing consistently low output compared to their norm: and dealing with them - in the worst ways possible.
Class: Axeman
Weapon: A Fighting Axe - 'The Executioner'
Inventory: N/A (for armour, see description)
Dragon: Black Drake named 'Orpheus'. (Picture coming soon...)
Side: Black Drakes
Rebel Leader:
Name: Ashtad
Age: 47
Description:http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1009/d17/0408/5de4243.png
Ashtad is the rebel leader and has been since the rebel band formed just after the uprising. She likes the colour blue, and most of her armour is blue. She has long brown hair usually messily tied up and always puts a wildflower in for decoration. She has the deepest blue eyes you have ever seen. Ashtad carries a shield and a sword, and wears cloth armour for the most part but she wears plated shoulders. She used to be a knight for the golden drakes and escaped barely with her life after being chased by Azrael into the Everlasting Forest where he gave up after she teleported through the trees faster than he could chase. That's when she decided to form the rebel group in the Everlasting Forest.
Personality:
Ashtad is a Defender and used to be a royal knight of the Golden Drakes. She fought valiantly in the uprising and it was her skill alone that kept her alive when the Golden Drakes and the other Defenders began to fall. With no hope but to flee, her and the remaining defenders escaped. She still feels guilty about leaving the others to their deaths, and as a result she is always the last to leave a battle to make sure she can save as many people as she can. Her name means 'justice' and that is what she is determined to bring onto the head of Erebus and his fleet of Black Drakes. She has a personal vendetta against Azrael because she blames him for chasing her away from the main battle, and hopes to face him in battle - and to win. She is untrusting of new people, slightly paranoid, but kind hearted and strong for those that she knows well.
Class: Swordswoman
Weapon: Short sword named 'Golden Glory'
Inventory: N/A (for armour see above)
Dragon: Defender named Amyntor

Lovelight - You made no mention of any armour, so I'm going to assume it's cloth since you just described normal clothes.
Skeith - just a few things you might want to change in your character sheet. Firstly this is a medieval rp, meaning purple contact lenses (or any for that matter)aren't available - so if your character has seeing difficulties she would need glasses. Makeup would also be limited, so keep that in mind. Also you made no mention about what type of armour you have so I'm going to assume it's cloth since you just described your clothes, (and do you really think fighting in stilettos is a good idea? I take it that's what you mean by 'dress shoes'. This is going to be realistically based afterall, so I can see your character breaking an ankle). Also throwing knives are not an available weapon so you will need to take them out, and you may want to mention that you have a quiver and arrows since it's a little hard to use a bow without them :)
Just a note to everyone, this rp is going to be very war-themed and as such looking good with no protection is not going to help you when you get a direct hit from a giant axe. If you want to look good then it would probably be a good idea to have both casual and battle attire, but remember if you get ambushed and you're not in your battle gear you'll just have to make do with whatever you're wearing. Most of you have gotten the idea of this rp when creating your characters but some may need to rethink their battle strategy with what they are wearing. Thanks guys :)
Also just a quick reminder, dragon choosing isn't until the rp starts, so even if you have made your choice don't put it into your character sheet yet, as you may change your mind.
And also I think I might put up the first part of the rp tomorrow (if I get the last two eggs drawn) for those who have joined to choose their dragons, however I will leave the signon open for a couple more days before the main rp starts as I don't think people will be able to join once it has started.

Name:Isel
Age: 17
Description: at 5'4 Isel has pale white skin, hot pink eyes and dark purple hair that flows past his shoulders. He rarely ever wears a shirt and instead he wears a black cape with a silver pin tying it around his neck and light brown pants
Personality: Kept to him self Isel doesn't speak unless he is spoken to and he only truly lets go when he is with his dragon. Another interesting thing about his personality is how conceded he is about his intelligence, though he doesn't show this to many people that aren't close friends.
Class: Archer
Weapon: A one of a kind longbow crafted to look like twin fire dragons it is said when an arrow it launches hits it feels as if you are caught in an inferno (is this okay?)
Inventory: A few arrows, black cape, and pants
Side: Rebels
(Hai guys! :D)

09-18-2010, 08:52 AM
Mang - as long as it isn't magic and has some kind of explanation like the arrows are poison tipped or the bow just packs such a punch that the feeling when you're hit by an arrow shot by this bow is equivalent to being on fire. Remember humans cannot wield magic at all and this includes magical weapons. :)
Also I think we're going to need some other classes apart from archers, so keep this in mind to future people who join XD
Also if after I put up the beginning of the rp and people don't choose their dragons before the next stage of the rp begins we won't be waiting for you, so try not to miss it XD (as I said it will be open for a few days before I start).

Name: Kane 'Red' Pilchard
Age: 28
Description: At six feet height, Kane looks up to few. He has reddish eyes, a lean and muscular body and short red hair (he actually prefers long hair, but found out early that it's very impractical for his lifestyle).
Most of the time, Kane is seen in his black studded armor and horned black helmet, with metal-reinforced leather boots booming his every step - his favorite way to intimidate his surroundings. One of the rare occasions he takes his battle gear off is when he's having fun with his victims (see below).
Bio (spoilered for sake of brevity)The first childhood memory Kane cares to remember fondly is the time when he twisted the hilt of a knife in his stepmother's body.
Ever since he was separated from his real family at the age of five, Kane's life has been living hell. He has been frequently abused by the entire village, to the point when he saw no reason for his existence. After a particularly gruesome torture, the teenage boy ran to the surroudning wilderness and was about to jump of a cliff when a strange wanderer took hold of him and talked to him. He made Kane realize that he had other options, and gave him a knife.
Kane returned to the village late at night and murdered his step-family. At that point, something awoke in him, and so he went on raging from house to house, and avenged his life-long misery with as much cruelty and torture as he could muster.
The rising sun found him sitting on a hilltop, watching the burning village, listening to the dying screams of the village kids he tied to poles inside houses he set ablaze. The feeling was strangely satisfying, and Kane finally found a reason to live. His mission became to destroy the 'do-gooders' that he viewed as lying fakers, and to spread pain and misery, the only things he knew to be true.
He went on to the closest city, and used the village's money to get the best gear and sword trainer he could afford. Then he practiced the way of swords as much as he could, and eventually excelled in the art. He ranked as the #1 mercenary in town, until he had to flee when a young woman he hanged turned out to be the mayor's lost daughter.
He joined the Black Drakes when he realized how much this group has in common with his personality and goals.
Personality: He is loyal to the cause, a reliable team player who follows orders without questions, even if they contradict his own views ('lawful evil'). If left alone, he is calm and curious, but in a group, his personality reflects the attitude of others around him. If someone's nice, he is nice; if someone's nasty, he's mean as hell.
To him, the mere existence of opposition is a personal insult, and so he cuts rebels and sympathizers down with extreme rage and cruelty. In battles, his already abnormal lust increases even more, and he makes use of every opportunity he can to have his ways with women and children.
Class: Swordsman
Weapon: 'Soul Raper', a custom greatsword serrated on one side, sharpened on the other, with a hilt resembling a deranged dragon head. A plain buckler with spikes.
Inventory: Thick black studded leather armor and metal-reinforced leather boots. A battle-worn black helm with yellowed downward-pointing horns sticking out on the two sides, like those of a raging bull. A curious assortment of small tools (scapel, hooks, needles, tweezers etc.) carefully wrapped in leather. Sturdy rope. Healing salves in pouches.
Side: Black Drake
Dragon: Gravity Drake called Gormaul

Dark black hair, Dark but shiny red eyes, and clad in entirely black armor, including a chainmail cape. His tower shield is also black(could't find one on tektek,and all this was 2,395,643 Gold. wow) his sword is strapped on his back and is also black. all his gear is black, except for the purple on the collar of his cape, which tells people that he views himself as better than everyone.

Alright since I was in charge of weapons, 1 question Zly.
It appears your character is going for the whole sword/shield approach so I'm assuming your greatsword is going to be used in a one handed style, trading speed and control for more power behind each blow. Is that right to assume? If its a two handed blade then you'll have to lose the shield.
Apart from that I can't find any issues
Also this rp isn't D&D, but your equipment will determine any god modding and stuff.

Is it too late to sign up? If not, here's my sheet.
Name: Zoe (With a : sign above the o).
Age: 17.
Description: She has long, flowing brown hair that she only ties up when she has a good reason to. Her eyes are rare, colour changing eyes. Every morning she wakes up with slightly different coloured eyes. This is nothing to do with her mood, just the light. When she is at home she wears all sorts of different outfits, but they are always simple and comfortable. When she is out, she wears similar clothes, but they are a few sizes too big and she wears leather underneath. She is skinny, but not tall.
Personality: She is shy, but passionate about what she believes in. She only uses violence as a last resort. She does not have many friends, as she lives in a very traditional, small farming village, but she is very close to her family, her dragon, and her family's dragons. One of her pet hates is people spelling her name without the umlaut.
Class: Swordswoman.
Weapon: Shortsword.
Inventory: She carries a brown backpack-style bag. Inside she keeps food, a small shield (only about 30cm in diameter) and a few herbs. She also carries a small pan (for cooking and preparing herbs for healing).
Side: She's very close to neutral, but she's closer to the Rebel side as her village follows the old traditions.
Please tell me if I'm too late before I choose my egg and begin to RP.

He wears brown pants and heavy duty leather boots that have hooks on them to attach metal plates. (This is after the two year gap.): He is well muscled, even though he has only completed his training two years ago, mainly due to carrying his heavy plate-mail armor. His face is rougher than it was when he chose his egg.

As I said, it's not too late to join, I'll say when it's too late. The title of this thread will change to OOC and I will take the character sheet out of the introduction indicating the rp is no longer open to newcomers. I'll also clearly state it probably several times. It's open until next sunday (26th september, my time, saturday 25th september, for people on the other side of the world), in that time you need to choose a dragon egg. If you sign up but don't choose an egg before the closing date then you won't be able to rp regardless of whether you have a character sheet or not.

09-19-2010, 11:46 PM
'OOC' = out of character or out of context I think... It basically just means this thread will change from a signup to a discussion about things in the rp. I haven't mentioned A LOT of things about Draconis because otherwise instead of the introduction being about 5 posts it would be about 2 pages XD So if any issues arise that seriously break the rp I'll put them here and the reason why they do etc. Or if people have a problem with another's post etc.
Also posting new Q&A's on last post of the first page. Be sure to keep updated with them :3

Name: Sarnia Flaceso (Sarnia rhymes with Narnia and Flaceso is Flay-see-oh the "a" in Flaceso is short as in "ah" not "ahhhh")
Age:21(probably should say that Sarnia is a girl.)
Description: 5 foot 9ish is very slim and is strong to some extent. Is very quick and light on her feet. Prefers to wear a white robe like dress slit on the sides up to her thigh for maximum movement. She wears a silver belt to carry a short sword. She carries a saddle bag like sack that can be attached to her dragon and carries her light studded armor, and a change of clothing, a canteen for water, small pack of food, and what ever that she might pick up on the way. Also she carries a bow and a quiver of arrows. Mid-back length brown hair, stunning light blue eyes, and a small, sharp face.
Personality: Very boisterous, easily angered, sometimes exceedingly emotional. As a child she lived on a farm where her adopted parents raised her. She was found by her adopted parents wandering in the middle of one of their fields when she was about 3 or 4. Her adopted parents never knew Sarnia's real parents so they raised her like their own. When Sarnia's adopted parents died when she was 15 from over exhaustion working on the farm. She blamed the King and has helped the Rebels in any way she could. Because of her parents death and her biological parents not coming for her, Sarnia has become a strong, independent, boisterous, emotional, young lady.
Class:Archer.
Weapon:A short sword used for melee combat and a bow for mid range combat.
Iventory: (listed from head to toe. xD) Leather cap, small necklace kept for memories, white robe-like- dress that is slit from bottom to thigh, silver belt, short sword, bow and a quiver of arrows, leather sack: change of clothes, suit of studded leather armor, canteen of water, small ration of food; strong leather sandals, and, of course, when she gets one, her dragon! xD

Sbacity, if you're a swordsman you can't use a bow. If you're an archer you can use a bow and a sword, but you are not skilled in swordsmanship at all (it's like a last resort thing if you are engaged in mellee combat). Also a rapier is different to a sword (see the class weapon for more details). You can't use a rapier if you're an archer (see class weapons for more details). The idea being you can only be proficient in one weapon only. Just for simplicity and balance reasons.
Note: Greatsword has become an available weapon (putting it in now with its stats). You might want to check out how Ivernus makes it work, Zly.

A bit confused here... :) The greatsword description says that it can be used with a shield, but on the shield description, it says shields can be used only with the short-sword.
So the combo can be done, right?
Ivernus
09-20-2010, 08:25 AM
Yeah, greatsword is a modified shortsword, its slightly bigger so you get some more power, but since your using it one handed, you lose control and speed of the blade.
But yes, the combo can be done, it was put in since Zly did the combo first. If you want to use a weapon that isn't mentioned, we can also put that in but we'll need to discuss the stats XD

Except now there is 6 drakes and 10 rebels. Well actually without Erebus and Azrael there's only four, but those characters are also stronger than anyone else by far :P So it's probably balanced anyway. Also means I'll probably have to make my own drake character apart from Erebus, but I was hoping I would have to do that anyway, since Erebus will be in and out randomly.
In any case, your character sheet sounds a lot better than what it was :P

Lol, well anyway I've decided to start it today, just have to finish writing up some stuff. Some people will have to wait for their pictures (Dark and Nature aren't done yet) but will be posted up when I'm finished with them, and everyone else's for the exception of Water and Essence need a bit of a tidy up but I'll post them up anyway and update them later. Soooo please be patient as I finish preparing all the stuff XD it's gonna take a little while. The reason all the pictures aren't ready yet is because basically they take on average 3 or more hours to do, and two days this week were cut out because of an assignment. Also my hand cramps if I draw for too long in one hit lol.
In the meantime I'm also making another character for the drakes since they are a little lacking in numbers. Also once the hatching is over (where you get your dragons and a full description of them, and what they do + picture), there will be the 2 year time skip and the rp can start :3 !! Thanks for your patience guys! Sorry I'm late starting.
Also me and Ivernus have done some tweaking with the strengths and weaknesses and descriptions and they will be re-edited into the initial dragon types descriptions after I post up the other stuff and finalise them. Soooo just be patient XD
Oh wait I just realised the rp was starting today anyway and not yesterday XD Wooops. Well the conditions are still the same. Pictures will be added/edited when I'm done with them.

Name: Psyche
Age: 25
Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1009/d25/1944/b247610.png
Psyche wears the colours of her dragon - red, white and black. She has studded leather armour since she is in melee combat for most of her time, rejecting the ways of the traditional archer and taking up melee combat with a crossbow. She also carries a small ghastly looking shield with a large spike on top, almost like a lance which she uses to parry in melee combat to be able to ready another bolt - although she's usually able to jump out of combat for long enough to do that. She has been training since she was only 7, the age most favoured families of the black drakes enlist their children to train at.
She is attractive despite how boyish her dress code is, with long red hair she has never cut in her life (although it has been sliced in combat). Many attempt to pull her hair in combat, and some succeed, but sadly they usually end up on the ground with a bolt through their chest, her hair so strong and thick and her being so used to having it pulled from the men in training that she can use it to her advantage. She wears a single red clip in her hair, the purpose for which no one knows as it seems too girly for her style, however she is never seen without it.
Personality: Psyche to put simply is brutal. She is relatively silent, an observer, and while she enjoys taunting in battles she hardly negotiates. Her motto is kill first ask questions later. She doesn't fight for the black drake cause, no, she fights for the sake of fighting and killing. She is selfish and ruthless, and doesn't side with the black drakes out of loyalty, but rather because they stand for what she believes in - fighting, cruelty and bloodshed. She hates peacemakers, and likes to drive a bolt through their hearts just to show them that being passive results in you being dead. A lot of the black drake army find it hard to kill unarmed people, but not Psyche.
Her lust for killing is what earned her such a high position and the kings favour. Some say the king likes her in other ways as well, but so do many other men who have been shot down with her words and her attitude, as ruthlessly as rebels are shot down with her crossbow. Her seeming unattainablity making her all the more wanted. She seems disinterested in romance or love, and it's hard to judge whether she does actually have a thing for anybody. Maybe she does, but who knows, really.
Class: Archer
Weapon: Crossbow named 'Deathbolt'
Inventory: Small shield that doubles as a melee weapon, crossbow bolts, crossbow, remedials.
Side: Black Drake
Dragon: Gravity called Abaddona
(Psyche is already established in the army like Azrael)

Okay, you said the nature dragon can take on abilities that are from animals around them. So wouldn't that mean the nature dragon could take the ability to fly quickly like an eagle? Or is animals speed and agility not available to Nature dragons. Also, does that mean Nature dragons can take other dragons powers or are they immune to it?

09-26-2010, 06:04 PM
i would say if an eagle is around the nature dragon, then it can fly fast etc, and it cant take other dragon abilities. my guess

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't for sure so I wanted to check.
screwbaII
09-26-2010, 11:48 PM
Basically nature dragons downside is it can't fly, not even 'taking an ability' like flight from an eagle. It's physically incapable of flight because its wings aren't developed for that, and it also has no internal mechanisms like the serpentine family. Sorry. It's just for balance reasons, they can't fly and they can't take the ability to fly since you need wings that work properly for that. It's just highly developed for ground movement, and if it was capable of flight that would pretty much just take away the concept of the nature dragon being ground based. Ivernus will explain it better later. When I do the picture you will see why.
Also rebels feel free to start posting o.o You aren't waiting for anybody in particular to start, just meet up and start discussing a leader and where you're going.

Sure is hard to satisfy the dragons. :I
Ivernus
09-27-2010, 01:06 AM
To Elaborate on what Screw said:
The short answer is Nature Dragons cannot fly for balance reasons, but that isn't to say they can't take another ability for an eagle, for example the way eagles glide along air currents, meaning a Nature Dragon could gain the ability to glide down from great heights and cover a great distance. They are physically incapable of flying and while they can 'metamorph' to a degree to gain other animals powers, to metamorph to grant their bulky frames flight would need to see entirely different wings and possibly multiple sets of them, a feat which is limited to plague. For the most part assume you can take any animal ability which isn't flying, the only real ones we'd stop is the ones which impede on the balance.
I hope that makes sense XD.

Ok just to make it very clear to everyone (even though this was posted in the background). Rules of dragon talking. Dragons speak telepathically.
Dragons and their human speak telepathically to each other (alternatively the human can speak out loud, but dragons cannot).
Humans can obviously talk to one another
Dragons can speak telepathically to one another
Dragons cannot speak to humans apart from their own.
screwbaII
09-27-2010, 04:42 AM
Oh yea, just to make things easier between human - dragon, dragon - human and dragon - dragon, I use the text layout to show the difference, as it could get confusing in future.
Italics for human to dragon
bold for dragon to human and
underline for dragon to dragon
You don't have to use it, I'm just putting it out there for people if they feel they may become confused. This is what I'm going to be using. Between humans I'll just use speech marks "" and normal text. Hope this may help everyone :D
Oh yea, also the issue was brought up about confusion between the rebel and black drake being in the same thread. I don't want to make two threads for both since there will be battle interactions and stuff, so what I'm thinking is, if everyone knows what the 'title' of the post is (the bold text that comes up at the start of posts if you use it, for example extra stuff at the top of this post), you may put 'rebel' or 'black drake'. That way people won't get too confused. Not saying you have to, but it may be a good idea for Lovelight since Love has a character for each faction.

09-27-2010, 09:03 PM
Well, Nick and I were rping a bit beforehand over msn trying out how the system would work and whatnot and in that he called his dragon Arguil and it just carried over to here. He should probably fix up his dragon name in his sheet.
Also a note to everyone about dragon speech again. Because dragon speech is telepathic they have the luxury of having private conversations with each other without being overheard. If they direct their thoughts at a specific dragon, no other dragon will hear them. Also the speech between a human and their dragon cannot be overheard either. Just thought I would mention this since Love seems to have assumed that these two things can be overheard. Dragons can project thoughts generally as well, so it's good to say 'directed at' when speaking if you're talking to a specific dragon, and when talking to multiple just say somewhere that the thoughts are projected or something. Sorry for the confusion! As I said, there are a lot of things that I haven't put in, mostly assumption things like this, and I'll bring them up as we go if they come up. Sorry again and thanks guys this is off to a good start :3 !

Question. Can Nature dragons view the thoughts of animals? You said they can control them does that mean they can know where they have been? Or what they see or hear that is not to be heard or seen by human/dragon ears/eyes?
Ivernus
10-01-2010, 12:03 AM
The form of control they exert does allow them to see through their eyes, hear through their ears etc, but it is not a connection so deep that it allows a nature dragon to connect to the creatures mind and see their memories. So you can use them to scout but you can't tap into their memories. And this applies to stuff that the normal humans/dragons can't see as well, you can still see that with the animal scout =D.
Hope that makes sense, bit tired when writing this
Sbacity_Boy
10-01-2010, 02:08 AM
It make perfect sense. But because that doesn't work I have another idea. Can animals talk to Nature dragons. Or do animals not have feelings and thoughts. Also, over how far can dragons communicate other dragons and their companions telepathically.
Ivernus
10-01-2010, 02:45 AM
Mmm, to keep things simple, animals lack the sentience to have a proper conversation with, however nature dragons can sense the feelings of creatures, so if an animal was scared, a nature dragon could tell.
The communications between dragons and their humans can be done over any distance, but the further away they are the more one has to focus, eventually having to divert all attention just to talking if the distance is very large (10 kilometres)
For Dragon between Dragon, about 1 Kilometre, it can be done further by Decievers though. (you can push that limit slightly, but anything over that takes mental strain on the dragon)
(I should mention I'm simply posting so Screw doesn't have to log on, we've both consilidated these numbers)

Elpunt, that's ok. It was just an optional thing for people to do if they felt like it, I always imagine things when I listen to songs and these songs just reminded me of my characters and I wondered what songs reminded people of theirs.
Draco, pretty upbeat song there :p It sounds like it is about your character finding a purpose in life that reflects what she wants to do.
Pooh, I used to be right into this kind of music, and I still do listen to a lot of classical type stuff, especially since I've been with Nick and gotten into music from games. Yours has a variety of things I got from it. Firstly slow to start sounds like a Defender XD! The song itself sounds noble and heroic, you get the feel of battle from it as well (I guess it is a civilisation game though, afterall! XP) and it also has undertones of sadness. Now time to track down a download for that song :D!

Lol. I was hoping that I would get that kind of response from choosing it. The song itself is actually background to the opening scene to Civ V. Hence the name.

Sorry, I've been pretty busy lately, it's getting toward the end of semester which means a lot of assignments and study I need to get done for uni, plus around this time of the year is when I actually get a rather exciting social life. In short, real life stuff has been keeping me from working on leisurely stuff I would rather be doing (sometimes... unless I'm hanging out with friends :P and then I would rather be doing that.)
Just imagine something along the lines of a cat-like body with longish legs built for sprinting, venus fly trap-like heads (~ 2 - 3 heads) and their skin like rough bark. Their 'wings' are actually more like branches that cover over the body similar to that of a tree, and have leaves on then, but they are very stiff and inflexible hence why they are incapable of flight. Their wings are also quite close to their body compared to other dragons. Their teeth resemble a venus fly trap, they have root like tendrils on their hind legs and tail, and leaves on their front legs.
As I said, when I have time and when I feel like it (I need to feel like drawing otherwise I get frustrated about my pictures not flowing. Weird I know). Anyway, it will be done when it's done, I might sketch one up in my lecture on Tuesday maybe and upload it.

Alright, in my lecture today I drew a sketch of a nature dragon. I didn't scan it so the quality is poorer than what it should be due to my webcam being a bitch to focus. But anyway here youz go. Forget about the writing it was just some random notes.
http://bunnibunni.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1394&stc=1&d=1286886514
Well I suppose I should probably say what the notes do as I came up with them while I was drawing.
"Most bottom teeth are mobile enough to fold inward slightly to slide underneath the top jaw when the mouth is closed, however the larger ones still protrude externally"
"Multiple heads - the third head grows in about 25 years after hatching. Thought that age affect the number of heads"
"Stripes and roughened scales are red, body is dark green"
"Branch-like leafy wings which are very stiff - protection and camoflague"
"Root like tendrils (back legs and tail)"
"In the wilds they stay rooted much more, causing them to grow a lot larger than they did duing their critical growth period (only known species of dragon that can do this)"

Wow, looks nothing like I thought it would. xD But thanks for doing it. Question!! On the Rp, is there any higher being that the local people believe? In other words is there any sort of religion? Would I say "She thanks the gods that he was alright."? Or do the Rebels acknowledge the Lost Princess as the higher being? If is it was in the beginning intro to the Rp thingy just say so and I can go re-read it, but I didn't remember anything so just checking so I can phrase things correctly in the Rp.

I kinda wonder the same thing as well. I didn't see it as all too important, but it would be nice to know in case if the need arises. I find it kind interesting now that I think about it that there aren't any priests, clerics, or really any people that would have magic to heal. It just feels different than other fantasy things to know that if you get hurt that you won't be able to go to the local healer to fix up even the most deadly of wounds, or cure the most toxic of poisons.

10-14-2010, 03:34 AM
Rofl! I'm thinking we beat the crap out of them until they heal us :3 ! Just kidding, for the black drakes if they can't get an essence to heal them we have corruptors, not only can they make poisons, but they can make remedies as well, like healing potions and stuff. ^.^
I think how it will work is, Essence is more effective at healing, rebels will always get help from them and black drakes sometimes, but black drakes will always get help from corruptors, but rebels won't be able to at all. This is because black drakes can throw their weight around and beat essence dragons up if they don't comply, but rebels wouldn't be able to do that to corruptors without drawing unwanted attention to themselves. That and it would be risky to trust an uncooperative corruptor, they could just as easily poison you :P
ALTERNATIVELY: If the rebels really want to have an essence dragon with them, I'll make a character for that they can pick up at the next town. However, if this were the case I would also make a corruptor character for the black drake side so they can also have a healer for their group.
So I'm gonna let the rebels choose since they were complaining about it :P You can either
1. Be satisfied with being healed at towns by any essence dragon there, while the black drakes can sometimes 'persuade' essence and also use corruptors for healing. Essence are much better at healing though.
2. Have an essence dragon with the group, and the black drakes would get a corruptor for theirs.
Black drake rpers can also input if you want :p

Name: Tanith
Age: 21
Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1010/d15/0816/f8c6228.png
Tanith is Psyche's younger sister, but they look nothing alike. While Psyche is dark and brooding, Tanith is light and affectionate. She wears green and gold, reflecting her dragon, but reveals quite a bit of flesh which Psyche severely disapproves of. She wears studded leather armour, with light plate chest and shoulders. She is a lot shorter than Psyche, where Psyche is tall, Tanith is shorter, but much more feminine.
She uses javelins, and carries a few around with her, they are also tipped with poison from her dragon Chloe. Like many corruptor humans, her shield is made from the egg shell of her dragon - it is extremely strong and runs with the acidic blood of her dragon. If the veins of the shield are cut in combat, the offender is usually sprayed with dangerous highly reactive acid. The shield is also self-healing, as though it is a living thing, and is highly mobile, the pieces seem to shift by themselves, so getting through the cracks is near impossible.
Personality: Tanith is the complete opposite of her older sister. Psyche looks down upon Tanith and thinks that she is a disgrace to the family due to her promiscuos attitude. However nice Tanith appears to be however, underneath she is as deadly poisonous as her dragon and some would call her something of a man eater.
She is not ambitious at all and gets by on draining the men she dates dry before moving on to the next victim. She is a smooth talker and highly changeable, easily able to adapt to any person and any situation, which is what makes her so well liked, and what makes it so easy for her to trap men.
On the battlefield she fights for fun and shows off a lot, but surprisingly she doesn't get into as much trouble as she should. She is a big fan of mocking others especially in battle, and talks a lot outside of battle as well. She is extremely blunt and as well as she flatters men she can offend women, and rather enjoys doing it as well. She however learnt the hardway to not mess with Psyche, after her sister lost her temper and shot her through the shoulder with her cross bow. She is thus weaker in her left side, however it does not effect holding her shield much since it is lightened by the magic that binds it.
Class: Lancer
Weapon: Javelins tipped with numerous poisons from Chloe
Inventory: ~ 5 javelins, several vials containing antidotes, poisons, and healing remedies, shield.
Side: Black Drake
Dragon: Corruptor named Chloe
I'll do the rebel healer tomorrow

Name: Blaine
Age: 23
Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1010/d15/2100/a1d3508.png
Blaine wears yellow and blue plate armour to match his essence's colours. Despite how small his dragon is, Blaine stands about 6'3" and his dragon is small enough to sit on Blaine's shoulders, which he usually does. His dragon is quite small, but despite his size is also quite powerful. His hair is dark, but sunbleached in places.
He carries a spear named 'Ebony', which he uses to both attack and defend, not liking shields as they are too bulky for his taste and hinder his movement. Ebony was a spear passed down from his forefathers, what it was made of has long since been lost, although it is probably made from obsidian mined from the Fire Mountains.
Personality: Blaine is quite shy like his dragon and lacks self-esteem, even around people he knows. He doesn't say much, and gets embarassed around girls easily.
He grew up in the small northern towns, like most of the northern villages, he migrated between them to escape the cold weather that the dragons so hated, returning in summer to farm the fertile lands. His father taught him everything he knew about fighting, which wasn't a lot. However, it was a beginning and Blaine spent many years enhancing his skills and can fight well enough, although falters easily under pressure.
Class: Lancer
Weapon: Spear named 'Ebony'
Inventory: Spear, bandages etc.
Dragon: Essence named Zopyrus
Side: Rebel

The gold coins of Draconis are small and thin, kind of like those lucky chinese coins with the hole in the middle, so they do no take up a lot of room. Most of the people in Draconis are poor and do not have a lot of money to begin with, including the people in the rebel group. Most of the time, the inns will be too expensive for some of you to afford, some may let you stay for free if you tell them your cause, but you will have to choose wisely whether you share that kind of information or not, as sometimes the consequences may not be what you hoped. Depending on the job you had prior to going on the quest will greatly affect how much money is realistic for your to have in the first place.
The highest paying job is obviously being a part of the Black Drake Army, farmers are the poorest, unless like Blake's family they are the head of the town, they are probably considered middle class. If you didn't have a job, then any money you have would have had to come from family/friends and thus you would not have a lot to begin with. Mercenaries are generally more used by the rebels, and since they don't have a lot of money to begin with, mercenaries don't get paid a lot either. Black Drakes have their army so they don't need mercenaries, although extremely good ones are sometimes hired at a well-paid price. Other tradesman and stuff are basically the middle class, but most of them are found in major towns.
The rebels will need to earn money along the way, and you can do this by helping out at the towns you visit with their various ailments (kind of like quests). It would be unrealistic to be carrying the amount you need for the journey from the start, so make sure to see if you can do any.
Black Drakes use a banking system - underneath the major towns and the capital, there is a network of caverns with countless vaults, [think Gringotts from Harry Potter except not magical, and there are no mine carts XD]. Money is transferred via the banker's lightning drakes that can zip through the whole of the caverns within minutes. It's impossible to get into as the banker lightning drakes wear a mark that is tattooed into their scales for recognition, and Earth dragons guard the entrances and they manipulate the earth around the entrance, so that it is closed at all times, unless they open it for authorised lightning drakes. Only the banks carry the keys for the vaults. Anyone can possess a bank vault, but there is a large initial fee for getting one, thus most of the vaults are owned by members of the Black Drake Army. In the time before the Black Drakes, there was no fee for getting a vault, but since Erebus now owns the bank, since he is king, he likes to get a little extra money off it on top of the excessive taxes he already has on the common people.
Money can only be transferred from the capital, or any of the major towns surrounding it, so when the black drakes leave this area, they will need to take enough money to last them a while. Alternatively, they can just use their fear factor to get what they want from some of the inns/other shops they visit.
The Black Drakes are paid based on their ranking, so the newer recruits will be paid a lot less than Psyche (who is a middle-ranked General), who will be paid less than Azrael (who is the war-lord XD). Mephis is Azrael's personal 'mercenary' so he gets paid accordingly (more info about Mephis when Nick can be bothered to make a character sheet). Tanith doesn't get paid anything from the Black Drakes, she gets by from the generosity of her boyfriends (and the money she has accumulated from them). Everyone else in the Black Drake group would get paid a little more than the base wage for new recruits since they are better than the average new recruit.
Any confusion please let me know and I'll clarify it better =]

Name: Mephis
Age: 37
Description:
http://bunnibunni.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1469&stc=1&d=1291006043
Mephis is a very reclusive character, very often covered in cloaks and garments that conceal most of his body. The parts of his flesh that are visible seem pale due to the lack of sunlight and as an after effect of being a Deceiver. Another trait given by this is his face, it is almost featureless at first but after staring at it for a moment, it becomes one of those faces you sworn you had met before but cannot place. Despite his nature normally involving maniuplation Mephis was a member of the black drakes and as a result is very well built, easily able to hold his own in physical activities. He normally wears leather and studded leather armor, preferring the colours of black and purple.
His weapon is a strange Scythe which he says is carved from the bones of Dragons he has slain, a tale which few believe but the weapon is incredibly sharp and durable, more-so than regular weapons and also appears to be heavier. Additionally he uses small daggers that double as throwing knives, using an experimental materials that cause them to be very hard to see but lack the punch of a regular weapon.
Personality: Despite his reclusive character, Mephis is quite the joker and charmer, easily able to intergrate himself into social situations and create friends, enemies or stir up a crowd with minimal effort. He is easily able to fake emotions and create 'masks' which he wears in public, his true inner personality is only know by his closest of friends and associates.
How Mephis will react to you comes down to whether your worth keeping as a friend or whether you to much of a hassle and should be dealth with. For the most part he avoids making any unnecessary enemies but if you do manage to anger him you can expect for him to turn a whole turn against you. Become a friend and you will have to deal with his Trickster like nature along with his horrible jokes, but its a small price to pay
Class: Axeman (Scythe)
Notes about the Scythe: Like the other weapons of axeman, Scythe's are weak to lances and strong againt swords, but perform exceptionally well against the sword and shield. Due the the nature of the Scythe, it is incredibly hard to defend against, slipping around blocks and parry's, but at the same time, it is ill-suited to perform a block or parry itself.
Weapon: Scythe that appears to be fashioned from dragon bones, an abudance of small daggers
Inventory: Small daggers, plenty of papers and writing equipment, small pouch of gold coins
Side: Black Drake
Dragon: Deceiver called Loki

I'm a bit confused about Mephis' report: first we have his single captive rebel to interrogate, right? Then there are two instances when he refers to rebel group(s):
...there was a brief sighting of a rebel group leaving the forest."
Also apparently Lazarus has intercepted some chatter in town, it seems like there may be a rebel group in town, could be worth catching them."
Is he referring to the same group, or two different groups? Sorry, I'm a bit dense here, lol.

No, it's not done yet, and I don't know when it will be done. The sketch is drawn up though. I'm at my parents place atm, and I just got a new dog that I'm trying to socialise with the other animals my parents have so atm I don't really have the time or the patience to be drawing. It will be done when I get around to it, and I will tell you when it is done, so please quit asking about it or I just won't do it at all.

Mine was the last post. I can't double-post, so that's why I haven't moved it on. Don't know about anyone else though.

Can't really do a lot myself until other people post, but I'll try think of something to shov-el it along.
Also waiting on Ivernus for the Black-Drakes

Ivernus Here (Using Screws account cause I can XD):
I'll start posting again once I get back to my computer, just been having a break from everything over the lead up to the New Year. Also because its very likely people have been on holidays around this time of year, it would have been hard to continue the rp. Expect a revival attempt over the coming days

Would Defenders be slightly resilient to cold because they have thick skin?

No, dragons, like all reptilian based creatures do not produce their own body heat, they get their warmth from the surrounding temperature and the sun. Having thick skin does not make them resilient from the cold, because they are cold-blooded.
Exceptions are ice dragons, who thrive in freezing conditions, and light dragons who uniquely produce their own intense light, which gives off internal heat, however in cold conditions it's harder for them to do, so they glow a lot dimmer.

Your character = arrogant
We're choosing whether to interrorgate or fight, and you picked interrorgate, outnumbered by me and siamjai which means we're going to fight.
That's about all right now that you need to know.
