Dragons on the Wind o' Morning
PLOT + CHAT ~ ROLEPLAY
Legend has it that the dragons came from a great goddess. She was known as the mother of all dragons, giving life to the giant lizards that saved all of the elven kind from extinction. The elves see her as the savior come from the heavens to rid the elves of evils that plagued their lands. To the dragons, she is the life-giver; all of their mothers, the source of their power, the spirit that keeps all dragons alive and connected. Whether you worship her, hate her, or simply do not believe in her, one must admit that no one really knows where these huge beasts emerged from, nor the source of their magic.
The dragons were once thought to be stupid, lumbering creatures, and were treated as all animals. Once elves began to breed them, and keep them as pets, some found that those who had strong bonds with their dragons could speak to them beyond words. They could feel the emotions, wants, dislikes, and needs of their dragon. Dragons were found to be smart and drastically more complex than anyone could have imagined. Realizing this, the elves quickly began releasing the dragons from their servitude. Some flew away to the Wilds, never to be seen again. Surprisingly, most stayed with their masters, wanting to keep the connections they had formed. Dragons began taking jobs as laborers, granting elven society their strength and magicks. Many, though were brought into the Elven Imperial Army; formed to fight the demonic horde that had been in many wars with the elves for as long as anyone could remember.
These dragons were paired with soldiers of the elite faction known as the Dragotrian Warriors. These few are tasked with defeating powerful demon kings and fighting on the demon’s own territory. They would need great weapons to battle such power, lest the dragons were used. Pairs of dragon and rider have formed special bonds that allow them to perform as if they are one.
PLOT
A new Dragotrian team has been formed by the General for the Elven Imperial Army. They must struggle to live up to the expectations of their job while learning to work together. Currently, demons have gotten a hold of wild dragons. While they may not have a connection like the riders, they have forced them into a life of servitude and ride them into battles. Some of the captured dragons seemed to have been possessed by demonic thought as well. The Warrior’s dragons are very reluctant to fight their own kind, wild or not. Meanwhile, the demons have started to pillage and destroy elven towns using Dragonfire and the dragon’s strength. While the rest of the army holds them off in the elven cities and on the battlefield, the Warriors are sent to find the person capturing and breeding the demonic dragons, investigate the possession the wild dragons seem to be under, and free those captured if possible. This means going into the demonic territory, which is especially dangerous.
THE DRAGONS
The dragons are the typical mythical creature; large scaly beasts. There are three types, though, who range in size and color. Flying dragons follow typical European mythology. They can grow to eight feet tall on all fours and sport large wings that allow them to fly quickly in the air. Their bodies and bones tend to be quite thin to allow for aerodynamic quickness. They can breathe Dragonfire, a purple flame that cannot be put out and burns for up to twenty-four hours. This is a bit of a downfall, though, as these types of dragons are known to be very stubborn and hyper; young ones must be trained not to burn everything they want to. These are most common. Water dragons cannot fly, however, but can move very quickly in water and hold the most magical power. Their bodies are long like snakes with short webbed feet and fins on their faces and heads. Riders would be kept above water, of course, and would ride them sort of like a dolphin trainer would. They can breathe underwater, and their skin must be kept wet at most times. They are seen as majestic and are believed to be good luck, but can be narcissistic and selfish if their connection is not strong. These are a little uncommon. The last kind are land dragons, who are the most uncommon. These are known to horde items they have stolen from elves and hide them in caves. They are the hardest to train, as they are known to be very antisocial. It takes a resilient rider to form a bond with a land dragon. They are a bit plump with long necks. They cannot fly, nor can they swim, but can run up to 180 miles per hour. They are physically stronger and smarter than most other dragons and learn very quickly.
There are also certain color categories that dragons fall into, indicating their rarity/ability to breed. Brown dragons are the most common, making up almost 50% of all dragons. Bluish-green dragons have a slightly higher rarity than brown dragons but are still seen as somewhat common. White dragons and black dragons are the most uncommon; they make up around 10% of all dragons and are seen as good luck if seen in the wild. These colors are attributed to every type of dragon.
THE DEMONIC ARMY
The Demonic Army has a knack for terrorizing the land and forcibly taking territory. In the past, they were a lot less organized and their attacks failed often. As they took on a monarchy, they began forming armies that resembled those of the elves, with bona fide ranks and positions. The lower demons are much less anthropomorphic, with the higher the rank they possess, the more human they look. They have decided that they want not only the elves land but their dragon magic as well.

RULES
- Please follow all of FF's Rules.
- FadedDreams is a Moderator of this thread, so she can kick and accept as well.
- Use IRL pictures or drawings, but no anime-esque art.
- This society is medieval somewhat with limited technology. Their speech is somewhat dated, so keep that in mind. Here is a sample:
"We must gather with haste, comrades. We cannot let those who tarnish the great name of Belthazor take over this land. Warriors! Do you not feel the call to shed the blood of the enemy? Will you cower before the face of death?"
- All riders must have a dragon.
- Please remember that dragons have their own personalities separate from their riders.
- NO DRAGON SEX. KEEP THAT ISH OUT OF MY THREAD.
- Dragons of different species cannot mate with each other, so no hybrids.
- Pay attention to the history, plot, and dragon types. If you make a mistake about these I will not hesitate to correct you.
- If you'll be busy and need to go on Hiatus, inform me before doing so. Tell me how long as well.
- People who don't inform me of their needed absence will be removed from the thread as that unnecessarily holds up the thread.

- Characters must be at least 16 years of age.
- Do not hold up the RP with trying to wait for a person to post before you do. That just halts the RP, purposefully, especially if it's a slow day and you're one of the two people active.
- Post at least a paragraph with a minimum of five sentences that are well developed with good grammar.
- No romance between your own characters, keep in mind that there are people for you to interact with, do not ignore them.

SAGE RAYETRUS

FULL NAME ★ Sage Rayetrus
SEX ★ Female
GENDER ★ Female
PERSONALITY ★ Sage is aggressive. She has a habit of being blunt and does not take crap from anyone. Her face is almost always in a permanent scowl. She tends to be very opinionated, expressing any thought she may have out loud despite the consequences. Often she finds herself alone because of this but does not busy herself wishing for companionship. She has no need for the praise or admiration of others and will never ask for this. She is a bit angry about not being chosen as the leader and shows a slight hostility towards him. The only thing she really seems to care for is her dragon, Alkaline. She can often be seen grooming him.
STRENGTHS ★ Speed - Short-range weaponry - Stamina
WEAKNESSES ★ Physical strength - Teamwork - Height
HISTORY ★ Sage grew up in a very poor village. She was abandoned as a child and lived with other orphaned children. She became distrustful of others, especially people who try to establish themselves as her family. As she grew up, she became dissatisfied with being homeless after a time, and joined recruitment for the army. She was poised to be a regular foot soldier, but tested to have an affinity for a connection with dragons. She was quite wary at first, as she saw them as aggressive and animalistic. After recieving her first egg, she quickly fell in love with the thought of caring for the dragon. She trained vigorously with it, but found it's personality to be very clashing. It took them a long time to actually establish the relationship they have.
FAMILY ★ Unknown
SEXUALITY ★ Bisexual
LOVE INTEREST ★ None
CRUSH ★ None
DRAGON NAME ★ Isle (eye-el)
TYPE ★ Water
DESCRIPTION ★ Isle is a green water dragon. He has long white fur going down his back and his tail ends in a fin-like point.
PERSONALITY ★ Isle finds himself as very refined and regal. He would describe himself as magestic and beautiful. As any other dragon could tell, he is quite arrogant in his appearance.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE ★
Danielle walked aimlessly in between the walls of bookcases. It was weirdly quite here in the library. She hadn’t been in a library in such a long time, she had forgotten that the usual policy was to be quiet. But there was hardly anyone here, so what was the point? She hated her line of thinking however, since she was here to at least try to reform herself. Making the decision to go off to university was going to be her chance to actually get some kind of education, but she found herself being sucked back into the smoking and drinking that got her kicked out of high school before. She was trying though; the evidence being her search to find the book she needed to cite for her English paper.
It’s not like she’s started, however, since yesterday she’d been suffering from a hangover. Danielle ran her hands through her short, messy, blonde hair in frustration. She wanted to smoke, but that would have to wait until she actually left the building. Her eyes scanned the bookshelves. This was where the book was supposed to be; at least, that’s what the lazily torn notebook paper she wrote the name of the book on said. What were you suppose to do when you couldn’t find a book? Whatever, I’ll just ask that person at the desk.
Her black trainers skidded across the floor as she walked towards the front desk. She was a bit nervous since she felt a bit stupid asking about this. Though she really needed this book to write anything. Danielle stopped in front of the desk, and put the paper in front of the person standing there. “Excuse me,” she said, “Do you have this book here?” Finally looking up at the woman, she saw a hint of familiarity. She didn’t want to dwell on this, but it irked her that she couldn’t really think of who she resembled. But there are people who look similar to others, so she didn’t want to ask immediately.

RUVAEN ZYLHANA

FULL NAME ★ Ruvaen Zylhana (roo-vay-in sill-ha-nah)
SEX ★ Male
GENDER ★ Male
PERSONALITY ★ Ruvaen seems to have everything in his life laid out. He looks confident in his abilities, seems level headed enough, and comes from a good family. Despite this outward appearance, he is actually very laid back. He really doesn’t have any interest in succeeding much, or leading anything in fact. He would much rather fly for pleasure than into battle with a team behind or below him. His real passion is just being able to see the world from up above.
STRENGTHS ★ Hand-to-hand combat - Long range weaponry (bow and arrow) - Teamwork
WEAKNESSES ★ Slight laziness - Short-range weaponry - Idle control of his Dragon
HISTORY ★ Ruvaen is a son of the prestigious and well known Zylhana Clan. His family has been blessed with a strong connection to any dragon they’ve been paired to, and almost every member of his family was a successful member of the Elven Imperial Army. Growing up, he was trained in just about every sort of combat you could think of. He wasn’t good at every one of them, of course, but he was trained much more than the average young elf of his age. He regrets not having a normal childhood like those his age. He was practically groomed from birth to join the Elven Imperial Army, so it was no surprise he was accepted immediately; if not for his skills, it was because of his name. To his surprise (though not a surprise to anyone else), he excelled in almost all of his tests, including the ones that had to do with connecting with Dragonkind. It took him much longer than anyone in his platoon to connect with his Dragon, since it was (and still is) the most stubborn thing he has ever met in his life. He did not want to become leader of the Dragotrian Warriors, but his family was too proud of him for him to turn down the position.
FAMILY ★ First Born Son of the Zylhana Clan
SEXUALITY ★ Bisexual
LOVE INTEREST ★ None (Open)
CRUSH ★ None
DRAGON NAME ★ Ganymede
TYPE ★ Flying
DESCRIPTION ★ Ganymede is a smaller than usual green flying Dragon. His scales are a matte forest green. He has flat horn-like structures sticking out of his spine and the ends of his wings.
PERSONALITY ★ Ganymede is extremely stubborn. He has a disdain for any kind of authority. He is very independent and would prefer to work completely alone separate from a rider. It took him and Ruvaen a very long time to connect fully, as Ganymede hinds any and all emotions from everyone. He has a habit of wanting to fly head first into battles, and has to rid himself of impulses.
