Almost done, I'm just going to come back and do Xyanel tomorrow.
Aelina “The Dryad”
Rider of Xyanel
APPEARANCE—
(disregard weapons)
AGE— 25 Bonded for 6 years
GENDER— Female
HISTORY— Aelina grew up in an outlying farming community in the lowlands. Aelina's mother passed away during the birth of her and her fraternal twin brother. Afterward her father grew suspicious that Aelina and her brother were products of a rumored affair of her mother. After the age of 8 when a disease wiped out many in her village including her father and brother Aelina decided to wander off on her own at the age of 10. It was only after this event that Aelina first began to experience uncontrollable bouts of anger and rage. After living in the area for some time and surviving off of the charity of the locals Aelina eventually became apprenticed to a renowned local woodsman. After much time under his tutelage Aelina eventually began to roam all of Caerel on her own. Unlike many other woodsman she had an extremely large range, she was willing to go halfway across the island on a whim. Her periodic madness made her keep her distance from most heavily civilized areas. During this time her affinity for nature as well as youthful beauty earned her the nickname of The Dryad.
At the age of 19 Aelina decided to journey to the very peak of Shearpoint alone, a trek that is usually considered quite challenging by those with far more experience in the forest than Aelina. On her way to the peak a sudden blizzard forced her to take shelter in an abandoned ice cave. As she carefully made her way into the cave in search of warmth she inexplicably came upon a dragon egg. Despite the attention paid to dragons and their mating habits somehow this egg had been forgotten in the cave. As Aelina picked up the egg to inspect it the shell shattered and Xyanel was born. After this event rumors spread quickly and Aelina was swiftly placed under the tutelage of the dragon riders.
PERSONALITY—
Aelina is extremely confident in herself and her abilities. She is most at home doing nothing, simply absorbing the atmosphere of the current situation. She isn't one for conversation and especially not for formalities or politeness. To Aelina such niceties are unnecessary and self-conflicting. Aelina pursues everything in her life with silent tenacity and her never ending patience. Aelina believes in that which is practical and effective. As long as the job gets done Aelina could care less as to how it is accomplished.
TALENTS/SKILLS—
Hunter's Mark - Aelina wields a crossbow with great skill honed over her years as a hunter. Aelina rarely fails to have her bolts violently impact her prey. When she does miss however, the next bolt requires quite some time to load.
Unfair Fighter - Aelina doesn't fight dirty, she avoids any situation where she might need to. Aelina never engages an enemy in a fight in which she does not have as many factors in her favor as possible.
Two Axe Fighting - At close range Aelina resorts to employing an unusual dual handaxe style of fighting that relies on an overwhelming offense.
Rage - Aelina is prone to uncontrollable bouts of rage. During these bouts she hardly feels anything. Although her reflexes and strength are often greatly increased during these rages she is out of commission for the next two or three days.
Wilderness Survival - Aelina is able to survive indefinitely in the wild and has knowledge of much of the flora and fauna of Caerel.
FLAWS/WEAKNESSES—
Melee Combat - Aelina is not well suited to melee combat, or any prolonged combat. She is an ambush hunter, not a fighter.
Conversation - Aelina is not particularly charismatic and is often hard to understand although she still can find pleasure in the presence of others.
Low Constitution - Aelina is fairly frail and not very resistant to either injury or disease.
EXTRAS—
NAME— Xyanel
GENDER— Female
BREED— Frostbite
APPEARANCE— {A few sentences should do it. Make sure to include anything different from the generic appearance given in the breed list.}
PERSONALITY—
{Back to bullet points! Sum up in five points or less—single words is plenty.}
EXTRAS—
{Same as for your character—scars? Weird phobias? Favorite spots?}
{No special abilities outside of the breed (yet), please—this is a long mission, you need room to improve! If you think one of your dragon’s quirks might give them an edge, PM me first, or I can bring it up OOC.}
@hoppiholla391 I'd love to, and I appreciate how long you've made it available, but there's no way I'll be able to keep up the way things are panning out right now so I'll have to officially withdraw. ;_;
@hoppiholla391 Clarification time. Going by your post, it's early morning, yes? Last I posted, I made mention of it being high noon (and, seeing as no one corrected me, I thought I was on the right track). Did a day pass, or did I just get the time of the setting wrong? Wanted to know, since a good chunk of my next post would've involved describing the passing day.
@Mictlan93 yeah, it's very early morning—i said in the first post it was just pre-dawn when the meeting was held.
also, question for everyone—i was about to make a post getting us all in the air when i realized something. anyone want to make a post describing the flight to the islet, or should i just skip us all ahead to landing time?
Hello ya'll, name's Phoenix. For those of you who've been watching I'm that guy who's been lurking around for the past few days. But I have a good(-ish) reason! I wish to join the lot of ya. Already got the fancy sheets and stuff ready, so... here you go!
APPEARANCE—
Imagine this one with fewer spikes and only two eyes for the concept of hand/wings and bladed tails as well as the general concept.
SUMMARY— Demon Dragons are a mysterious breed as there are not that many of them left in the world. More of legends than fact stories tell of their speed and power being rather surprising for their size. However despite their supposed power something caused this breed to all but vanish off the face of the Caerel. BASIC INFO—
Preferred Habitat: Unknown
Size: About the size of a small house, any other details are lost to time.
Strength: 6
Speed: 10
Rarity: 5
ABILITIES—
Basic: Hands on the joints of each set of wings allow a Demon Dragon to effectively have two sets of arms or incredible control while flying at high speeds (Wings can be switched from hands to wings on the fly and in different sets, so one can fly and one can grab or both can grab or fly for increased effectiveness), a bladed tail that can be used as a weapon.
Breath Weapon: Black Fire – Can unleash torrents of shadow fire that scorch and burn.
Legendary: Demon Dragons have the ability so super charge themselves and their riders amplifying their size, speed, and strength to absurd levels for a few hours. This transformation however tends to come with clouded judgement leading to rampages. When the few hours are up however, the dragon and it’s rider crash leaving the pair incredibly weak for up to three days afterward.
Axon Sarai
Rider of Razeth
APPEARANCE—
About how he looks for a headshot, including the white hair
This is about how he looks except with a plain white shirt on top and with the previous headshot. Both of his blades look like the one on the left though.
This is the leather vest he puts on for prolonged or incredible high speed and complex flights. Only difference is that his vest is black leather.
AGE— 22 Bonded for 7 years
GENDER— Male
HISTORY— Axon has had a rather strange life. His first thoughts were those of being alone in a forest. Nobody around to give him any clue of who he was or why he was there and being but a child he was destined to die; If it wasn’t for Razeth, he most likely would’ve perished. His dragon found him when he couldn’t have been older than two years of age and Razeth wasn’t much older himself. The two had one thing in common though, they were both abandoned. Through the years the two did everything together, surviving alone in the woods hunting, gathering, and playing much as young boys do. As time passed the two grew close as family, probably even closer and were never apart for long.
About when Axon has 11 he found Ilinalta Bay and upon wandering in he found that he wasn’t the only human in the world. Excited and curious he wandered through the streets in his rugged furs taken from wild animals and used for warmth before being stopped and questioned. Unsure of the language and customs he was taken in as a sort of adopted child of the town and taught for to speak as well as dress and be a member of the human world. Learning of how dragons were a part of society Razeth was brought one day and the initial reactions were…. Curious to say the least. A dragon like him wasn’t something that was common apparently and he talked to a lot of people about him, and where he found him, and what he was like, as well as many others.
Though as time passed and the two generally stayed their business in the forests so as to avoid agitating Razeth’s special condition. Not to say they were shut-ins though, more often than not the two would venture out to play with the citizens of the island, flying and wrestling much as young men do.
PERSONALITY—
Playful
Friendly
Unpredictable
Laid Back
Curious
Adventurous
In summary, Axon is an energetic and lively man who’s just as likely to joke and make active conversations with friends as he is to jump off his dragon and sky dive only to be saved at the last second by Razeth. Similarly it’s a big thing that gets him to care and escape his laid back and nonchalant attitude. After all, life is meant to live and be free! Why spend time worrying about things when you can be having fun. TALENTS/SKILLS—
Agile: Much like his dragon Axon his quick and nimble relying more on speed and agility than strength. It’s a rare day when somebody can outmaneuver him, but a common day when somebody bests him in a show of strength.
Survivalist: Given his life alone in the forests, he’s accustomed to making a home in the woods and making it quiet enjoyable. Able to hunt, gather, and craft to survive out of nature.
Two-Weapon Fighter: Using his twin swords he uses his speed and grace to slice his opponents apart. Death by a thousand cuts style.
Tracker: Honed senses and the ability to see the subtleties of tracking Axon can seek out his prey in many environments
World Memory: Despite his off the walls and energetic outside, he does actually have quiet the mind for remembering all the places he’s been, able to recount and remember everywhere he’s been in great detail.
FLAWS/WEAKNESSES—
He’s a bit soft given his reliance on speed and agility. If he doesn’t dodge it its gonna really, really hurt.
He’s a little socially awkward given his time spent only with his dragon. Often he’ll say something rather crash or blatant and it has a good chance to get him in trouble.
Axon, being raised with a dragon as his only family, has developed a tendency to growl, snarl, and hiss when conversations get heated.
Axon has a tendency to not trust people despite his friendly appearance. The only person he truly trusts is Razeth.
Not entirely sure what it is, but Axon and Razeth are hiding something. Could be the extra day of rations they tucked away deep in their packs, or they know something about another character. One thing is for certain, they’ve got a deep dark secret.
EXTRAS—
Axon has a pair of swords he values greatly being that they are mastercrafted especially for him by a friend he made on one of his trips into town.
Axon’s body is heavily scarred from his countless misadventures in the forests with Razeth. They are all mere flesh wounds and only serve to tarnish his body in appearance (Unless you’re into that sort of thing *wink wink, nudge nudge*).
Axon and Razeth have a secret hiding spot deep in the forests on the way up Spearpoint Mountain that only those two know of. It serves as their home and they protect its location like their deepest darkest secret.
Axon has a set of high speed rider’s gear that allows him to maintain functionality at the incredible speeds that Razeth can travel at. Consists of gloves, a leather vest, goggles, and a mouth mask.
NAME— Razeth
GENDER— Male
BREED— Demon Dragon
APPEARANCE— Much like his breed describes but with a few feet longer tail
PERSONALITY—
Playful
Silly
Energetic
Adventurous
Unpredictable
Curious
EXTRAS—
Razeth has an extreme hatred for cabbage. Not sure why, but one thing is for certain, it will be destroyed… with extreme prejudice.
Likes to roll around and play either alone or with others. Will often be found diving into bodies of water or rolling around on the ground wrestling… something.
she is indeedy! just don't expect her to be gracious about it. she knows how important this is, but she takes any opportunity to harmlessly bitch about things tbh.
Roger, got'cha covered and I think I covered by bases. Can't wait to see progress and stuffs. Also PS, just for the sake of story could it be ok to say my guy wasn't exactly invited given his "wild" nature, and the "curiousness" of his dragon?
@WriterRaven what's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD alright alright alright
but at least she's honest! she DIDN'T send for caitra because she doesn't want to possibly risk a rare species, but she IS acknowledging that she probably should have.
