Dark. Cold. Storm brewing on the horizon. Snowing lightly already, though that's something we're all used to by now. The sheep are huddled, the vikings are in their houses, and the dragons are roosted.

Here, our heroes are found, on the island of Berk, or places similar and nearby.

Join us with your own character- tell us what you look like, how old you are, where you're from, and tell us about your dragon. We'd love for you to join us on our adventures in the the world...of Dragons.

EDIT:
Since we seem to favor new characters, the original cast will be NPCs, and will be available to everyone. If you plan to utilize these characters in your posts, please try to keep their personalities, habits, and tones similar to the characters already established.

Personality:

Name: Trygir
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 150 lbs.
Description:
Defining marks: N/A
Personality: Kind and carefree, but a bit too fond of scuffles, Trygir is a fisher and whaler by trade, and often sings shanties and leads in chants when he sails. He is slow to anger, but quick to tease, often resulting in situations becoming more heated than necessary.
Bio: Born to a pair of fishmongers, Trygir wishes to become a great viking one day, but he has always felt a sense of piety towards his parents, and wants to make sure that they are taken care of before getting out of the fishing business. Trygir met Orm whilst drawing back a fishing net one day, and quickly jumped overboard with the fear that the serpentine dragon was hungry. After running out of breath, the boy resurfaced to find that the dragon was indeed hungry, but was perfectly content to help himself to a few fish and watch the now waterlogged boy curiously. The dragon did not feel like leaving the boat, and Trygir eventually worked around him to row the ship back to the dock.

Dragon's Name: Orm
Breed: Couatl
Classification: Dangerous If Provoked
Description:
Personality: Friendly to familiar faces, but slightly territorial, Orm is fond of sunbathing, having his scales scrubbed, and listening to music.

Personality: A straight forward young man, fairly no-nonsense. Not to say he has no sense of humor, it just doesn't much see the light of day. He has a great deal of focus, almost to a fault really. Once he gets started on a goal he may neglect other things in pursuit of it, but in that way you can depend on him to get something done to the best of his abilities and as soon as he possible can. He does have a strong sense of curiosity that can sometimes get in into a bit of trouble or in over his head.
Bio: Crunch is from a large family, many brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and more cousins than anyone could count. They live together in a fairly large, if a bit worst for ware, family hall. The family trades are mining and blacksmithing, While he is handy at both jobs, he found her preferred mining to smiting. He enjoyed the somewhat adventurous aspect of searching for a vein of useful or precious materials and the satisfaction he got once he gathered all he could. One day, while tunneling on his own, he came across a hallowed tunnel that looked as if was crafted, not natural. He fallowed it, wondering who or what made something so deep into the earth, only to find large green dragon sleeping among large piles of emeralds. The dragon regarded Crunch threateningly, chasing him off but never venturing to far from his horde. Crunch, fascinated by the creature took to visiting him often, though he always made sure to mine up some emeralds to bring to the dragon as a peace offering. Eventually the dragon tolerated his presence the point where he didn't need to bring a offering. The would even mine together some times. During one of these times cave in accorded, instead of going to protect his horde, he protected crunch from the collapsing rocks. together they tunneled themselves out and have been together ever since.

Dragon's name: Em(short for Emerald)
Breed: Gem Horn
Classification: Mountain Dragon ( or 'Boulder' if we are using the cannon classes )
Description:
About the size of a rhino, The Gem Horn is primarily thought of as a 'ground' dragon, as it is most commonly encounter on the ground or on mountain sides. While it possess the ability to fly they are slow and clumsy in the air compared to most dragons, as it's wings and long tail are better suited for moving earth out of it's way than moving well in the sky. But on the ground few dragons are as sure footed and or dangerous. It limbs and wings have great raw strength, as it often prefers to climb it's way too high places rather than fly. When it digs it's itself into the ground it's notoriously hard to budge. It's scales are very hard, softest on it's belly, and the strongest on its horn. Their horns are rumored to be unbreakable as It uses it's horn to carve itself caves or tunnels in which to live. They have a love of gemstones, and their lairs are often filled with ones that match their scales in color that they mined themselves.
Personality: Em can be a stubborn sort, even for Crunch. It enjoys rough housing with the stout young lad but can become protective of him like a mother over its young, especially if Crunch is vulnerable for any reason. She seems to look at Crunch more as her whelp than her partner. She has something of a haughty personality when it comes to everyone else or other dragons, and only seems to be more friendly with other Stone dragons.

Hi everyone! Look forward to writing with you all. Here's my character. Let me know if I need to change anything GN.

Name: Elia
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4
Weight: 135
Description: Elia and Chameleon
Defining marks: A tattoo on her right arm
Personality: Elia can be a respectable adult when she needs too, but she prefers being mischievous and having fun.
Bio: Elia was born and raised in Burk. She's had an easy life and though she rides a dragon, she isn't much of a fighter, unlike the rest of her family. She's trained in the art of tracking, setting invisible traps, and thanks to Chameleon she is now very apt at stealth.

Dragon's name: Chameleon
Breed: Stealth Dragon
Classification: Fear and Fight
Description: Chameleon (Chami for short) is constantly changing colors to blend into his environment. When on the ground his wings fold straight up and down so as to conceal his rider, as she is not able to change colors as well.
Personality: Chami is even more mischievous then his rider. He enjoys sneaking up on fellow dragons and humans, scaring them and then slinking back into the shadows before they even know he's there. He's lighthearted and not much of a fighter either.
