[OOC] Lond en' i' Astald

[DisguisedDemon]

A dragon egg will only hatch when a rider they deem fit has touched them. This happens more often now that academies are set up for riders to be trained and get to see more eggs then they were ever allowed in the past. A person is only allowed to attend the academy after they've turned 18, but not everyone finds their dragon right away. In fact it isn't uncommon for a person to have to wait years before they touch the right egg.

Once an egg begins to crack after a rider has touched it that means that they've been chosen. From there the rider must let the dragon grow and develop their skills before they can begin training for battle.

Until a rider finds the correct egg though, they must go through training on what it means to be a rider. There is lots of training that must be done on the magic so that each rider has some experience before they find their egg. Magic doesn't begin to fully develop until the time that a rider and dragon are brought together. There are different strengths in magic, a person may be more proficient in earth, fire, water, air, or dark magic. This is the type of magic they usually try to get very good at while the others are more of a basic knowledge.

This is why they must continue studying while they await the next months eggs to see if their dragon may be in that batch, as eggs are only traded between academies once a month. It's a dangerous process for the riders transporting the eggs, because there are still riders out there who believe each rider needs to find their egg on their own. They think riders are just being handed their dragons now and they aren't the best riders they could be.

Rules

-No godmodding, this shouldn't even need to be stated.
-Please let me know if you're gonna be busy so we can slow down the rp so you aren't lost.
-Listen to your gms, again-shouldn't need to be said

Magic Types

I'm just wanting to explain a bit more of what would be typically to happen to your character to know which type of magic they're better at.

Earth- Is your character able to make vines grow from the ground, flowers grow, heal dying plants, or cause trouble with rocks.

Water- Are they able to refill a glass with one word (or possibly the tables), create water in their hand, cause waves in a lake, or even manipulate the rain.

Fire- Typically starts with an accidental fire (thank goodness earth magic can heal the burned grass), light things on fire, create fire balls, control a fire that has been started or start their own.

Air- Use the wind to their own needs, typically can create wind even if there shouldn't be, they're useful to their dragons if they're tired so they can help keep them up, or go against water and fire attacks.

Dark- This is usually first seen by a character killing a plant that they've touched. It can causes destruction and death when not trained, can cause storms, not very useful against fire, water or air, but useful against earth.

Sophia Carrow (Example CS)

Name: Sophia Carrow
Age: 19
When they came to the academy: 18
Type of egg they've gotten: A black egg with blue swirls
Magic Affinity: Dark
Weapon of choice: Bow and arrow
Personality: Sophia ended up with an egg color that usually goes with dark magic, which seems rather unbelievable. She's a timid girl who wouldn't be the type to go out killing things if she didn't feel threatened. She's always been shy in large groups, but tries to make up for it by being a bit louder when she's around fewer people. She has a terrible sense of humor, not that it ever stops her and can come off a little rude because of that. Timid may be a word used to explain her, but she doesn't have much of a filter between her brain and mouth when she's actually talking.
Likes: Reading, winter, flowers (how unfortunate she can't grow them), the way that eggs look when they're just about to hatch and there are little cracks running through them.
Dislikes: Heat, hand to hand combat (Not that she won't kick your ass from far away), cats, and the way people look out others with black dragons.
History: Sophia doesn't have some sob story about how she wanted to get away from her family. Her father was a dragon rider until he got seriously injured and his dragon actually ended up dying. She was a beautiful dragon and Sophia loved going out to see her and when her dad would take her on rides. It was only natural that at eighteen she would enroll in the academy and try to find an egg of her own. Her mother wasn't sure it was the best after her father almost died, but she promised not to get hurt and that if she hadn't found an egg by the age of 21 she would go home.

Name:
Julia Vervain
Age:
22
When they came to the academy:
20
Type of egg they've gotten:
Gold
Weapon of choice:
throwing Knives, passable at sword
Likes:
Julia loves the fight, or more accurately challenging wits. She loves being able to joke and tease without anyone getting offended. She loves a good brain teaser and paradoxes and loves the sound of thunder.
Dislikes:
Large bodies of water, People who betray her trust, not knowing something
History:
Julia grew up in a small village where not many people even recalled knowing about Dragon riders. She was secluded and didn't much like it. When she was fifteen her family learned of her natural affinity towards fire magic when she accidentally burned a neighbor child. Her family accused her of witchcraft and Julia left. She began wondering the country and eventually heard of the academy. She applied and gained entry. (Is this okay? I'm just not sure when the magic comes into play? If not I'll change it)

Accepted and this is okay. Little bits of magic are expected, but they wouldn't be able to start a forest fire. It'd be more like a candle flame.

[PaintLynn]

Imma post mine tommarow cuz I'm to tired right now, just a heads up.

Imma post mine tommarow cuz I'm to tired right now, just a heads up.

@PaintLynn

Great. I'm looking forward to it.

[Blue Demon]

I'm holding off for the moment because it appears we might have an over abundance of girls... and if we do I'll go for a guy character. But if we get more guys I'll go for a girl. ;)

If I do go for a guy, I have three faceclaims and I can't decide. Weigh ins?

[TheHunter]

If push comes to shove I'll gladly double up.

[DisguisedDemon]

Be a girl if you want or double up! To me having an even number isn't the biggest deal. And I'll gladly make a second male character. Probably a male trainer as well so there is that.

Also, I like the second or first the best I think. @blue demon

Callum Elmore

Looks

Age: 21
When they came to the academy: 19
Type of egg they've gotten: The egg is a crystallized blue with silver whisps that gleam in the sunlight.
Magic Affinity: Water
Weapon of choice: Compound Bow and Arrows

Personality: Callum isn't afraid to speak his thoughts if he believes something to be right, no matter how much opposition he has. He enjoys reading, and even after he gets his egg, he hopes to learn more about Dragons and Dragonlore. Though he likes reading he's not timid and always ready for an adventure.

Likes: The Ocean, Waterfalls, Fish, Reading, The Color Blue, The Forest, Rain, Friends.
Dislikes: Solitude, Lonliness, Prejudice.

History: He never knew his mother, and his father was a business man who was easy to up set, tended to rub people the wrong way, and sometimes came off as a bit of a racist, which he was. Sure Callum looked up to his father, but not to some of his beliefs. Living right outside the city and the academy, Callum thought it would be a great way to get a breath of fresh air from his father, as well as meet new friends, which he was always eager to do. After two years at the academy, he's now ready to become what he's always wanted to be, a Dragon Rider.

[BookDragon]

Looks:
Name: Andrea Valium (Andy)
Age: 24
When they came to the academy: 18
Type of egg they've gotten: (She has not gotten it yet but this is what she will find) Black shell with red crevices and gold accents.
Magic Affinity: Earth
Weapon of choice: Andy's weapon of choice is a small dagger and a bow and arrow. Her bow is made of the finest ivory and engraved with her favorite flowers, daisies.
Personality: Matching her love of flowers, Andy is very sweet and kind, hardly on to fight with anyone else. She would much rather sit down and talk it out than use her bow to solve any problems. However, she does have a fighting side to her that only comes out when it is absolutely necessary when she has no other option than to use her skill with a bow and with her agile figure to win a confrontation. She enjoys a good laugh and anything sweet to the taste, including her men. She is a tremendous flirt.
Likes: Flowers, sweet candies and treats, animals, swimming, and socializing
Dislikes: Killing living things just for sport, people with anger problems, frogs, and the dark
History: At the age of 18, Andy's parents, dragon riders themselves, sent Andy to the academy to continue in the family tradition. Despite the disapproval of some of her family members who claimed the academy was a "waste of good rider blood" and was a "Lazy alternative to working hard to find her own dragon" Andy joined the academy and flourished in her studies immediately. After a few years she did not lose hope of finding her dragon but instead focused on practicing her natural skills in earth magic and has become very good at healing things and making flowers bloom.

[aeuternus]

@DisguisedDemon Still got room for one more? Although I'd probably end up making a female character (I can't write males well for the life of me), if you're cool with that then I am.

@aeuternus

I believe we should still have room. But I think we're getting close to having as many people as I was wanting in this small group.

[Blue Demon]

@DisguisedDemonSo I'm a goober.

...

So I made 3 different CSs. One if I only want to play a female character or a male character. Or if twins would be acceptable. In the order of preference I'd say the twins then the girl then the guy. But with the roster being so full of girls, I'd probably say if no twins, then I'll just play the guy.

Wylann (Girl Version)

Name: Clara Wylann

Age: 20

When they came to the academy: 19

Type of egg they've gotten: Robin Egg Blue with specks of Amber

Magic Affinity: Air

Weapon of choice: Bow and Arrow

Personality: Clara is a bit of an odd ball. She's wrapped herself in a cloak of mystery. She hides behind fortellings and slight of hand to dazzle and bemuse. She's always watching people around her but she doesn't often volunteer to speak. However if you get her to open up she'll whisper tales of wonder and glory in your ear before sending you off. She thrives on secrets.

Likes: Tarot, singing, telling the future, secrets and dragons

Dislikes: The feeling that she's been seen through, being trapped, being helpless and being alone

History: Clara was born to a band of gypsies. Since a young girl she learned the secrets to fortunetelling and deceit. She also learned that magic comes in all forms and to never look a gift horse in the mouth. As a young girl she was a trouble maker, often getting her tribe run out of towns. As she aged she began to look at the world outside their trade routes. Often, overhead, souring dragons snatched away Clara's imagination. So when she turned 19, the age of independence, she left to join the Academy in hopes of being a Dragon Rider.

Wylann (Guy Version)

Name: Drago Wylann

Age: 20

When they came to the academy: 19

Type of egg they've gotten: Robin Egg Blue with specks of Amber

Magic Affinity: Air

Weapon of choice: Bow and Arrow

Personality: Drago is a charming young man. He's always chatting about something. He's also always smiling. But his smile makes you feel like there's something you don't know but he does. He likes to flirt with everyone, men and women, but it never goes further than that. His openness is more deceit than anything else, an elaborate show made to distract and deflect. He thrives on secrets.

Likes: Tarot, singing, telling the future, secrets and dragons

Dislikes: The feeling that he has been seen through, being trapped, being helpless and being alone

History: Drago was born to a band of gypsies. Since a young boy he learned the secrets to fortunetelling and deceit.

Name: Drago Wylann

Age: 20

When they came to the academy: 19

Type of egg they've gotten: None yet

Magic Affinity: Unknown (Possibly Air)

Weapon of choice: Bow and Arrow

Personality: Drago is a charming young man. He's always chatting about something. He's also always smiling. But his smile makes you feel like there's something you don't know but he does. He likes to flirt with everyone, men and women, but it never goes further than that. He's quite a friendly person but when you stop and think about the things he shares you'll realize not once has he shared anything personal.

Likes: Tarot, being the center of attention/showing off, telling the future, being with his sister

Dislikes: Drowning, being trapped, being helpless and being alone

History: Clara and Drago were born to a band of gypsies. As a young boy Drago could always be found trailing after his adventurous sister. Most people mistook Drago for the adventurous one because he was always chatting about everything. Drago, unlike his twin, was content with the knowledge he'd remain with the tribe and eventually raise children of his own. But when he realized that Clara's path lead elsewhere he was also content to follow her into the unknown.

[aeuternus]

@DisguisedDemon I typed out a CS earlier, just waited for a response before I posted since I was asleep when the OOC started. I guess "you snooze you lose" really does apply.

Anyhow,

Looks:

Image

Name: Athena Yang
Age: 19
When they came to the academy: 18
Type of egg they've gotten: A plain, white egg that sometimes can look like a rainbow in certain lighting, somewhat similar to an Opal.
Magic Affinity: Air
Weapon of choice: Shuriken and a dagger, can use a sword but it's not her first choice.

Personality: Athena is quite docile and calm, willing to listen to others and give them unbiased opinions and help. She keeps a level-head and is hard to anger, unless you catch her in one of her moods. She has quite low confidence, and retreats within herself when given compliments. She doesn't take well to failure, and can hold one hell of a grudge. Being quite quiet, she doesn't often engage in conversation and instead nods or hums in response. She will most likely not start a conversation, and will wait for someone else to do it. Like the wind, she can be considered a free spirit, and can go from calm to fierce in merely seconds. She feels most comfortable outside, more specifically under a tree, and gets antsy when she's locked inside for a long time.

Likes: Outdoors, Reading, Trees, Wind, Open Spaces, Running, Hunting, and Dancing.

Dislikes: Heat, Indoors, Closed Spaces, Rude people, TV, Loud noises, and Rain.

History: Athena is a Korean-European, and grew up being isolated by others due to her ethnicity. She gave up on trying to make friends, and instead spent her time in nearby forests, hunting birds to sell. She wanted to save up for university, as she wanted to study dance as well as literature. The first time she encountered her magic was when she was about to be hit in the face with a ball, hard. But instead it ended up narrowly missing her, and swerving, landing next to her despite nobody touching it and no wind that day. She was unsure exactly what it was, but had a feeling that it was something.

So she practiced during her hunting, but didn't get very far due to not knowing what exactly was happening. She tried putting herself in dangerous situations to see if that would trigger it, such as running in front of balls knowing she'd get hit if she didn't deflect it. It only happened two other times, but she did it.

When she turned eighteen, she left her home and went in search of somewhere she could train her magical potential, and found her dragon egg whilst searching for the place. After merely a month, she found the academy, and enrolled.

[DisguisedDemon]

Sorry guys, I've been having a lot of trouble getting on the site. I hope that wasn't just me and it doesn't happen often. Sigh. I'm reading through the CS's though.

[AbysmalDemon]

@DisguisedDemon

It's not just you, been happening with a lot of others too. Just check the status bar and you'll see how many people (including me) have complained about it.

[DisguisedDemon]

@TheHunter@AbysmalDemon@BookDragon@PaintLynn@aeuternus

Add your characters to the characters tab!

[DisguisedDemon]

@Blue Demon

I'm okay with the twins! I like them quite a bit actually and it'll be fun I'm sure.

@Overlord24

I'm gonna need more in the personality section on this and for you to pm me his history to make sure it's not super out there. Sorry to be picky, but I do want this to be high casual and to know the characters going in.
