The Beginning of the End
[img width=510 height=372]http://digital-art-gallery.com…ure_image_digital_art.jpg[/img]
Uruloki, a small island west of Ireland, has been inhabited by Draki and Uru for as long as anyone can remember. Within the last few thousand years the Draki have created a kingdom to unite their kind under one banner. This new nation, Peryador, made its home on the southern shores of Uruloki, and quickly prospered. There were several rebel bands of Draki who refuse to join the kingdom as well. Of course, they would have been granted their wishes and given their proper space had they not began to raid and pillage Peryadin villages and lands. The Uru chose to remain in their independent clans scattered across the island, but maintained a strong alliance with Peryador always.
Quite recently, not far from Uruloki the age of exploration was stirring in England, and men on great ships traveled far and thoroughly. Many trading ships had passed quite near before then, but the magic of the Uru kept the island hidden from human eyes. There came a time, though, that not even the most ravenous of storms or thickest of fogs would deter these men. A ship, headed by the explorer John Sutton, landed on the eastern shore. At first they assumed the island uninhabited by naught but birds and beasts.
That is until a scout sent west along the shore brought back other news. Towering spires and castles grand enough to rival that of the Queens! Intelligent and civilized people that seemed to make up a very wealthy kingdom. Sutton soon found himself meeting with Aran and Tari, King and Queen of the Draki. All was friendly until a servant in his second form flew in from a skylight in the high vaulted ceiling of the castle. The British men cursed the Draki, believing them devil spawn, and swore against them to cleanse the land of such an evil. Fast as they could, the men departed.
Fearing war, the King and Queen called for the first time for their people to come to arms and defend their nation. Weapons were forged anew, armor for all able to fight, and all in Peryador found themselves battle ready within three months.
Uru
Uru, the oldest species known to this earth, are what humans call dragons. They are the true and original dragons, and considered to have the purest lineage of all subspecies of dragon. They possess a strong magic, but they have one form. They can live for several thousand years and never quite cease to grow. The largest Uru ever known reached over one hundred feet in length and weight more than several elephants.
Draki
The species of the Draki is an old one, though not quite so old as the Uru. It is believed the Draki came to be many ages ago, when there were still humans to be found on Uruloki. It is said that there was a golden Uru, great in splendor, but young and foolish. While wandering his forests, he took fancy to a young human witch therein, beautiful and kind, and a powerful sorceress. The golden Uru performed one such spell that gave him the form of a human, handsome in every way. He followed the woman home and bed her that night, but the consent was not hers. Despite her fury at the injustice, there was little she could do, for when she sought out the man to take her revenge, she could find no such person. Months later, the woman gave birth to a child with the power to change its form from human to dragon at will. When she found this, the truth of who had accosted her was revealed, and her anger swept across the land. She cursed the Uru by depriving them of the necessary magic to change their form, and thus they have never been able to since.
Her child grew to adulthood, and eventually had children of its own, all sharing in the ability to change form. Slowly, this species grew and expanded, until their numbers rivaled that of the humans. It was then all humans of Uruloki fled to neighboring islands, forever forsaking the dragon kind and all similar.
[hr]
Draki are born in a human looking form, and consider this their true form. They can change at will to take on the form of a dragon and can maintain this change for as long as they wish, though never do they grow to the size of Uru, nor are they as long lived, the average life span being similar to humans. At full size, a large Draki's dragon form will be at most two feet taller than it's human form, not including the length of the tail. Draki's second forms can vary in color as much as Uru, but never in golden.
Plot
Never before has Peryador engaged in war of any sort, and with the threat of it now hanging over their heads, the King and Queen have asked all able Draki to prepare to defend their home. The British will be returning soon, and with them they will bring death, a fact all citizens of Peryador are aware of. It is for this reason that so many are joining the ranks: male and female, young and old, poor or wealthy. And so have you. Your job is as such, to defend from this oncoming storm. Protect your families, your fellow citizens, and your lives. You will report to the captain of the guard in the morning to receive your orders.

Rules
1. Be civilized. We are not cavemen, throwing about sticks and stones to solve our problems. Either PM me, or the person who you're having problems with, and talk it out.
2. NO ONE SENTENCERS. This is a semi-advanced thread. It's really not that hard to elaborate. If you have less than 3 sentences, your post will be ignored.
3. Use your better judgment and censor yourself a little. Violence is to be expected, cursing is fine as long as it has a place and isn't just random F bombs in every other sentence.
4. General RP rules apply: No OP characters, no God modding, use OOC and IC, etc.
5. Romantic involvements are just fine, but don't make it a priority. And for the love of every god out there, please keep it clean. If the clothes start coming off, fade in and out, take it to PM, it doesn't matter, just don't be steaming up the thread. If you've read this far, type "They're taking the Hobbits" in other.
6. Keep the gender ratio as equal as possible please and thank you, I can barely stand the amount of estrogen in my house, I don't need it on my threads too. I won't make anyone to make more characters than they want to, but if you can't keep it even on your own I will require everyone to make one guy and one girl.
7. I don't ask for RP examples because I use the form as a judge of that. Completely fill out your character form unless it's a WIP. I like long histories and personalities because that's what I make my decision off of, so take all the space you want with it. Anything less that five good sentences will not be accepted.
8. If you're not complying with these frankly easy and doable rules, you get one warning. I'm not going to go back and forth for days over something. If I tell you to stop and you do not the first time, you're gone. And again, if you've made it this far, type "to Isengard" in other.

Way Past That
✦Personality✦
Fiery
There is a blazing fire in her spirit, fueling her drive to be the best at whatever she does. It drove her straight to the top of her academics, her combative training, and the ranks of the royal guard.
Straightforward
Naithil is a no nonsense kind of a woman. If there is something to be said, she will say it. It was the one reason she never excelled in politics and found the guard to be better suited for her.
Steeled
She had began training when she was sixteen. After four years she was appointed head of the Royal Guard and has been so for three years. Seven years total of her line of work has hardened her against all forms of pain: physical, mental, and emotion.
Professional
Naithil takes everything -- work, relations, war, life -- every seriously. She finds humor in very little and the only joke she ever makes is the occasional, accidentally placed pun, though it is never her intention to do so.
✦History✦
When she was very young, she, her mother and father lived in a small village near the northern reaches of Peryador. The village was quite near the territories where the rebels would occasionally pass through, but they'd always been able to fend for themselves. They lived peacefully, for the most part, and happily until Naithil was three years old. Then came a band of rouges, far larger than any ever seen in their village before. Within an hour, the whole town was in ashes and more than half its people dead or dying. Including her mother. With the village beyond repair, and memory too much to live with, Naithil and her father, along with the remaining people, packed what they had left and moved to a larger city nearer to the capital. Her father found work in the guard and was soon making enough money to bring up their living standards. By the time she was eight, they were living well off in the middle class neighborhoods, and Naithil was enrolled in a school. There she learned much that had once been hidden to her, and found her proficiency as a warrior. When she was sixteen she enlisted in the guard, just as her father had, and quickly rose through the ranks, landing her the position of Captain of the Guard, where she now resides.
✦Family✦
"My father, no one else."

Back to the Light
✦Job Before the War✦
"The Royal Guard has always been my occupation."
✦Rank✦
"Captain of the Guard, for three years now."
✦Second Form✦
✶In her second form, Naithil is a dragon of elements. She can breath fire, an ability that is -contrary to popular belief- not universal.✶

Disclaimer
[font=verdana]I by no means claim that any information or lore used in this thread is factual in any sense. No research was done for the benefit of information regarding the species of dragons or Draki, and everything said is simply the result of too high a muse for too long and what little I knew of both before hand.
