[OOC + Signup] Flight of the Dragon Kyn (Open)

Flight of the Dragon Kyn

Once long ago, there was a war. It was called the War of Drakenkeep, and it pitted Dragon Kind against the evil Draconians, evil creatures created by cursing the eggs of the kind Metallic Dragons. The Chromatics, usually vile and evil-hearted, even joined the side of good, even if just to save themselves – for the Dracoians wanted to wipe out the Chromatics and enslave the Metallic Dragons. The war would have been lost if not for the ten leaders of the Dragon Kind’s Army, each riding a different coloured dragon. They drove back the Draconians and freed the lands of their evil. When each one died, they were entombed with the same inscription…

In the Land of Drakenkeep
Where the Dragon Riders sleep
When the evil again does rise
The Dragon Kind will fill the skies
To call upon the Riders ten
Who will help our world again.

That was hundreds of years ago. And now, the Draconians are rising again. They once again wish to enslave the Metallics to make more of their own while destroying the Chromatics. War is stirring.

You are one of the Ten Chosen Riders, even if you may not know it. Your journey will be a hard one, but do not give up. The key is teamwork.

Dragon:

Name: Starlight

Age: 284

Gender: Female

Species: Silver

Appearance: Starlight is a truly massive beast, standing about 20 feet tall and 80 feet long on all fours. Her tail itself is longer than the rest of her body. She can walk biped, but can only run quadruped, and prefers that stance. Her back is segmented and armored, with three long spikes protruding from each segment, one from the top and curving backward, and one from each side, also curving backward. Her underhide is softer and feels more leathery, but it is also segmented. Her wings are each over 60 feet long, and fold down the length of her body, nearly to the tip of her tail. However, the really remarkable thing about her is her mist. She is always surrounded by an eerie, silvery, glowing fog. This fog is let out from pores around her body, and has many remarkable properties. It can be charged electromagnetically, and while long-range electric attacks are nearly impossible, anything being caught up in this fog can be shocked and possibly paralyzed. This factor is also useful for a couple of other reasons. While flying through clouds, Starlight can use her electricity to induce storms, or alternatively, to dissipate the clouds, affecting the nearby weather. Also, while "antigravity" is impossible, anything caught in her fog can potentially be levitated magnetically. It acts like a sixth sense, allowing her to gain information about anything caught in it. Also, by focusing her mist into smaller regions, she can change its physical properties and density.

Personality: Despite being hundreds of years old, Starlight often acts like a little child. She loves to play with her friends, her hand-selected clergy, and can be quite difficult if something doesn't go her way. She also loves to be pampered. That said, she is quite curious and likes to learn more about herself and the humans living with her. She also knows her 'duties' in protecting her town, and will fly for sometimes hours at a time to watch out for anything that might threaten their existence.

History: Starlight lives in a large temple in the middle of a mountain range. This temple is on a hill in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains all around. It is the centerpiece of a small town situated in the valley. It is said that the first settlers to the town were lost in a blizzard in the mountains, dying of hunger and hypothermia, until a young (at the time) silver dragon found them and led them down into a lush, fertile valley. Ever since, the townsfolk have practically worshiped Starlight as a savior and protector, looking up at her to keep their town safe and the weather kind, and she is more than happy to oblige. Living in the temple with her are a group of priests and priestesses. This group of humans look after her and cater to her whims. Once a year, during the full harvest moon, there is a great celebration. There, the villagers offer Starlight their finest livestock as a sacrificial tribute to the dragon for 'blessing' the harvest. In addition, she chooses one of the young children, usually one about five or six, to live with her and study to become a priest/priestess. There are also smaller celebrations. throughout the year, usually also on full moons, where she'll often receive gifts of jewels or crafted 'toys'. Often, older villagers, ones nearing death, and sometimes villagers carrying already-deceased loved ones, will enter her temple and ask her to take them to the afterlife.

Rider:

Name: Tark

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Tark is about 5'7" tall, thin but with distinct muscle tone. He has a full head of dark, straight, thick hair coming down to his neck and arranged in a dome shape. He has yellowish tan skin and wears a silver-colored robe.

Personality: Tark is very loyal to Starlight. He trusts her with his life, and is practically dependent on her for comfort and security. He hasn't spent much time away from his 'family' and is rather shy and cautious of others.

History: Tark has been living with Starlight nearly all his life, as part of the small community of priests and priestesses dedicated to the dragon. When he was four years old, he was chosen during the harvest festival to come join the Clergy one of the youngest chosen in a long time. He's been living and training as a potential partner of the Dragon and protector of the city.

After one of Starlight's daily scouting sessions, she came back looking exasperated. Tark remembered the last time something like this had happened... a Chromatic had set up its territory too close to Starlight's for comfort and she had had to drive it away. But this time, it seemed much, much worse. Tark and the other humans gathered around her and asked what the problem was. Starlight just growled and pointed to him. "Tark... come with me." A rush of emotions overcame him. Being singled out by the Silver Dragon for an important task was their culture's greatest honor. But Tark was also surprised and even frightened, wondering what was going to happen. Tark climbed up onto Starlight's paw, and became surrounded by a protective barrier created from her mist. The two then flew off, searching for others to join their new quest... to protect the world, and particularly their home, from the return of the Draconians.

I TAKE WHITE KTHXBAI

Name: Storm

Age: 63

Gender: Female

Species: White

Appearance: Storm, contrary to her species, is actually a light grey. She stands at 9 and a half feet at the shoulder, and is rather light for her kind, about 100,000 pounds. Then again, she is rather young. Her wings, fully extended are 60 feet across, and she has silvery spikes down her spine. The air around Storm is rather cool, and she likes it that way.

Personality: Storm is rather rash, and would rather solve problems with her claws, like most of the chromatics. She is next to always hungry, and humans had better watch out. Storm can be childish at times, relatively, and cause great trouble in the mountain range she inhabits. She is however, loyal to her few friends and allies.

History: Storm has lived in a seaside mountain range for her entire life, and never went further than the bordering forests. She has occasionally destroyed a settling city, and rumors of a 'white shadow' freezing over villages have gone around. Since then, none come into her range.

Short short is short >_>

I'll make a Rider later, because I is lazy butt.

Name: Chikaku
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Species: Bronze Dragon
Appearance: Chikaku is about 9'3" tall and weighs 128,000 pounds, with a wingspan of 6'8". His scales are a bit more brown than usual and are slightly more shiny. The teal on his scales is more of a dark blue.
Personality: Chikaku loves being around humans, whether he's in dragon or human form. He likes doing jobs for them and solving problems without them giving him anything in return. He protects every ally he knows with his life and fights ferociously, although he drives away enemies more than kills them. He spends most of his time around civilization interacting with them.

Chikaku is optimistic and believes that kind actions are the answer to every problem. His favorite season is winter, even if it is a bit cold.

History: As a young dragon Chikaku lived in an underground cave not far from the nearest town, village or city. He stayed out of contact with dragon-hating humans and liked interacting with the kind ones. He spent most of his life helping them and defending them from enemy dragons, even making best friends with a few.

Name: Amber
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Species: Green dragon
Appearance: She stands about nine feet tall and weighs about 154,000 pounds. Her large wingspan is about seven and a half feet wide, although most of the time she stays to the ground rather than flies, unless fleeing or attacking. Her claws are long, sharpened by battle, and she walks on four legs, although she can rear up on two for periods of about ten seconds. Her tail is long and ends in an arrow-head tip. She has dark grass green scales that are rather large, giving her skin like armor. Her snout tapers into a point like a crocodile's, and her eyes are a piercing amber.
Personality: An energetic trickster, it seems that Amber never runs out of energy. She likes hunting her own food rather than eating plants and often hunts the humans or elves nearby, especially those foolish enough to wander near her den in the forest. She tends to be territorial and likes chasing strangers out. Amber is generally a bully and likes taking advantage of other dragons. However, in battle, she is excellent, since she has practiced almost all her life.
History: She has lived in the forest ever since she hatched. She believes it is her job to defend the forest, and so, she has kept a watchful eye on it for almost thirty years. Once there was a rather small village near the edge of the forest, but she quickly destroyed it.

Both reserved. They're looking good thus far Kali and Dragon

Darksong- You need a Rider.

Cryptica- You need a Rider. Also. Bronze was reserved by me. Only one of each Dragon. :)

Rider:
Name: Ominak
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: He has chestnut hair and robin's egg blue eyes. His hair falls to the small of his neck and is tied back in a loose binding, parts of his hair braided with beads at the end. He stands a about 6 ft 1, not overly tall compared to other humans but average height. He wears a simple shirt and pants made for him by Irthos from some fabric he's not aware of. His skin is rather tanned due to the fact he's lived on an island with Irthos.

Personality: He is very laid back and would most likely be sleeping in the shade of a tree rather than out in a battlefield fighting to the bloody death. He doesn't like conflict and would rather lie down all day and stare at the sky.

Though he is seen being lazy, once he is committed to a objective, he is very thorough and dedicated.

History: When he was around the age of one, his mother and father were on a ship in the middle of the ocean when a storm struck. The boat was destroyed, killing all the passengers on board except for the little boy. While the ship was sinking, his mother placed him on a piece of broken wood and floated him out, praying that he would survive.

After a day of floating, he was found by a dragon who carryed him to an island on their back.


Dragon:
Name: Irthos Kethend
Age: 124
Gender: Female
Species: Bronze
Appearance: She was a dull bronze coloring with faint forest green stripes that lets off a faint shine when in the sunlight. Her wings spread out to about 80 ft. and have a forest green coloring at the bottom of her wings.

She is about 10 ft tall and weighs a good 150, 500 pounds.

Along her neck and tail is a row of spine-like frills and on her head is a pair of blacks horns curled up.

Personality: She is very sweet and motherly when it comes to Ominak, but other than that she is a strong and wise dragon. She may not be that old compared to other dragons, but she is insightful when it comes to nurtureing and caring for others.

She is often known to play with other creatures, enjoying the time spent with others. But once there is a matter of great importance, she devotes her time to that one aspect. She has a strong sense of duty and a strong moral sclae of right and wrong, teaching said scale to Ominak.

History: She's lived on the small island in the tropics since she was a hatchling, knowing ever nook and cranny of her home. Living there all her life, she often got bored and flew to human towns where she shifts into a human form to mingle with people.

When she was at the end of being a young adult, at the age of 100, she was swimming in the ocean off the coast of her island, searching for sharks to eat. While swimming, she heard a soft crying coming from the surface of the water. Upon investigation, she found a small human child wrapped in a blanket and floating on a piece of drift wood. Feeling sorry for the child, she brought the baby back to her home where she took the role of Mommy.

I have a question... Can we have our rider characters be partners with other people's dragons if both people agree to that? As in, do we absolutely have both characters in a pair, or can we swap off with others?

Uh. No...no. And here are my reasons.

- It's easy to control your own Rider and Dragon.

...well, that's the only reason thus far.

Easier, yes... Less room for player interaction, but oh well.

Um, how do we all meet up then? If we're all only doing our own thing, we won't get very far... Sorry if I'm being a little picky, it's just I've had bad experiences with RPGs where everyone starts off at their own place without a method of communication, and where I'm forced to post my own story by myself, post after post. It's tough to get started... that was really my only concern.

We all start in the same place. So once we begin, we've all just met. Once the intros are over we start to plan a course of action.

Stuff like that ^w^

And I'll be tossing random events that you guys will need to get around. This should prove to be fun.

Oh.... never mind my signup then.

Same here... I thought I could be just a dragon, and if I make her hate humans, that won't work well...

Just because you might be partners doesn't mean you have to like each other... ;) you could have a dragon and a human/elf/halfling that hate each other's guts, maybe even want to do away with each other, but get forced to grudgingly work together.

I reserve green, since Darksong quit.

Reserved, then.

Oooh... reserving Gold, please.

I finished the white's form, making a rider soon.

*points up*

I'm reserving the Copper dragon/rider please. :D
