(So mad fancypost is messed up)
It was only supposed to be a school trip. Things just got a little... well, off course, literally. There was a storm and the ship got wrecked and we washed up on this island in the middle of nowhere. It didn't look like a deserted island but it was pretty close. There were ruins of some old town or village and some of the buildings looked like they were built for something much bigger than a human. We wandered around, cold, with no idea what we were supposed to do now. I don't know what we would have done if Ander hadn't found us. What he showed us, what he told us, though... it changed our lives forever.
Dragons are real. Our stupid runaway on the school trip, our shipwreck... it was all meant to happen. We are the last descendants of the lost civilization of Berk. But we are not the last dragonriders. If we do not rise up against the darkness, an evil warlord calling herself Tayama will stomp out the last embers of Berk. We do not intend to allow that to happen, though. We are the fires of tomorrow.

MY CHARACTERS (WIP):

Name: Ander Cassian Alvaris
Age: 28
Gender: male
Personality: Ander has been on his own for a long time so he's very slow to trust others but he has a lot of respect for his responsibility to keep the legacy of Berk alive, despite his opinion of himself as a failure to his family. Ander is not a natural leader nor does he necessarily want to be a leader - he just happens to be the only one left to lead. He can be a little rough around the edges but he is passionate, loyal to his friends and family, and tenacious despite everything else.
Background: Ander is the last descendant of Hiccup and Astrid and has known his lineage his whole life, since his parents stressed to him at a young age how important he was to the survival of Berk and the dragons. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, they say. Ander was raised only to do one thing: survive. He never had friends as a kid because his parents moved around constantly before returning to Berk when Ander was 14, where he met his dragon, the Night Fury Mara, also the last of her kind. With Mara, Ander felt free for the first time. For a while, things were good. Then Tayama showed up with her small army out of nowhere and started stirring up trouble all over the Isles. Ander's parents left to fight and kill Tayama and her dragon, leaving Ander, then 18, alone with Mara on Berk, but they never returned, killed by Tayama. Ever since then, Ander has spent every day fighting to get strong enough to defeat Tayama, who has been oddly dormant working up some long term scheme while conquering the Isles and the remaining dragon population over the last 10 years. When the characters wash up on Berk, Ander immediately recognizes them as descendants of Berk.
Dragon: Mara is the last known Night Fury in the world and she feels the weight of that every day, which is part of why she and Ander are so close. She isn't snappy or sarcastic like her ancestor, Toothless, but rather a calm optimist, always one to rally the troops and offer support where its needed. She of course is all black and is still relatively young for a dragon.
Theme: "All We Are" Onerepublic
Other:

Name: Connor Ryan Richardson
Age: 16
Gender: male
Personality: Connor isn't shy - he's just usually too busy watching and figuring things out to comment on everything that happens. Connor is the one who sees things that other people might not. He takes things at face value, sometimes a little too much, which makes people think he's insensative. Connor is known around school as the super smart kid, since he skipped a grade, and he will own up to that but he isn't arrogant about it. Connor may come off as a closed off nerd but he will surprise you if you give him a chance.
Background: All Connor had ever wanted is a normal life. His dad died in a car crash when he was a kid and his mother blames Connor for it. She often throws furious tantrums at him seemingly for no reason and pressures him to do better in school so he won't "disappoint her again". She essentially ruined Connor's childhood and left him to recover from his father's death on his own. Needless to say, Connor near hates his mom and the day he ran off with the others on the boat, he'd just gotten off a shouting match with her over the phone, hence why he ran away. Through all of this, Connor has been fighting depression, though he has never told anyone about it. Connor credits his dragon with saving his life in that sense.
Dragon: Aspen the Deadly Nadder
Theme: "I Believe" Christina Perri
Other: Looks up to Ander a lot, thinks of him as a big brother
