@Iatos you make it sound like only real way to defeat him would be to use his weakness which isn't what that section intended to be. We have one regeneration related character and that regening takes a toll on the user so it's not like they can constantly regenerate from anything and especially keep fighting.
Well, i will be probally nursing people back to health when something happens anyways so... XD Also, using blowdarts with tranquilizer is not a bad idea to stop fights.
@olcharlieboi Or use unconventional methods. Such as special powers and magic which he don't have any specific resistance too.
Quite literally meaning that Humans wouldn't stand a chance unless they have items that can targed his weakness. And that Other Monsters would in many cases still be able to fight him unless they completely rely on brute force. In that case they would probably need to beat him to the point where he submit if they intend to defeat him.
Its mostly because that in near any case I've Ever seen a Demonic creature involved they have 'always' needed a 'special' way to defeat it..... you can't just pick up your pointy stick and stick it until it dies, why?... because its a frikking Demon. There's a reason why demon hunter are invented to stop them, holy water exists and divine artifacts are more than just fancy looking bashers.
I think its ok, after all, the humans are very religious, and getting holy / blessed items and water isnt that hard.
Unlimited regeneration would be kinda op, i agree, but make it something like, he can regenerate until he gets to fatigued to do so (it takes a toll on him), but even if he colapses on the ground, and people keep stabbing him, he wouldnt die, because you need a SPECIAL way to defeat them.
Resuming: you can incapacitate him by brute force. is very hard, and it takes a great deal of strenght, time and some effort, but its possible. In order to kill it, you need a something else, like a ritual, or something.
This will make it so we can incapacitate him without hurting him permanently (by having to use holy and blessed items). Its common to see in movies / stories & such that they needed to incapacitate the demon, or trap them, and then perform a ritual to banish them.
@dragonmancer yes this roleplay is still open, and I was somewhat sadden about the summoner rp because it had such potential and then it just failed because of all of a sudden no one would respond.
@13org thing is these aren't humans their monsters, they wont have any real contact with humans during their school years beside on rare school trips, not to mention humans know nothing of monsters anymore so they aren't that easy to come by anymore, and this isn't movies and such.
@Iatos I've basically been trying to avoid anything that involves immunity or immortality for the sake of the roleplay and the other roleplayers. because I've basically stated anyone can die by any method that there isn't a limited way things can die.
your basically trying to say that humans and brute force people wouldn't be that much of a match up while all the others would? do realize with the stamina thing moment he run out he will stop being able to regenerate.
All dragons are reptiles, closely related to lizards and snakes (squamatas). Dragons have undefined lifespans, age itself has never claimed the life of a dragon, nor do dragons weaken with age, in fact its quiet the opposite. Every dragon, even those that relate with snowy environments or lack any sort of fire ability, have an innate affiliation with fire, and as such they cannot be burned or damaged by heat. All dragons have some sort of magical or spiritual aura, and their biology reflects much of that energy. not all dragons are intelligent, or capable of speaking. Many act like animals or even lack sentience altogether, while others while sentient are unable to speak or are knowledgeable of a language. Lastly, dragons are often born with at least 1 of the seven sins; greed, wrath, lust, sloth, envy, pride, and gluttony. Not all dragons are evil and there are plenty of dragons that could be considered good or benevolent, however they still suffer from at least one of these sins. Pride, wrath, greed, and gluttony are the most common sins.
Dragons have varying traits and forms to the point that almost every dragon is unique. However all dragons can be classified as one of the following:
Hellkites (typical six limb dragons, 4 legs and a pair of wings.)
Drakes (Wingless 4 legged dragons)
Wyverns (Two legs and two wings)
Basilisks (Often resemble lizards or snakes, usually having no more then 4 limbs, and rarely do any have wings. However most basilisks have some form of toxic property such as acidic saliva or a venomous bite, and can turn people to stone by looking into their eyes.)
Cockatrices (bird-like dragons, often resembling a cross between a basilisk and a Wyvern)
Wurms/lindwurms (serpentine dragons, rarely have any limbs, and many vaguely resemble reptiles. Often both gigantic in length and diameter, they are rarely sentient. Some resemble snakes.)
Tarragons (Like hellkites but are bipedal, some may have forms that could resemble a dinosaur.)
Drakkens/Draconians (Dragons with a humanoid posture and build, often ranging between 5'11 to 9'10 in height, they are as varying in appearance as any other dragon, though all drakkens are sentient)
Longs (Asian styled dragons, serpentine and with 4 limbs, though wingless they can usually fly as if they defy gravity. Longs are often the most intelligent of dragons and usually are more involved with spiritual energy then magic.)
Drosians (dragons that do not fall under any other category are Drosians.)
Elemental, Fae and hydra dragons are mutation-like traits that happen within individuals regardless of type. Elementals often are more magical then biological, for example they may have a shell of ice over a frail naked body, or an armor of lava-flowing stone instead of scales. The weakness of an elemental are the opposing elements, for example fire can weaken the magic significantly of an ice elemental dragon, although dragons cannot burn the heat against those of ice can render them unconscious. Hydras are dragons with multiple heads, some can even regenerate new heads. The number can vary within 2 to a thousand, though it is rare for a hydra to have anymore then 20 heads. The heads of hydras are either each independent heads, or are all one conscience. Fae dragons tend to have butterfly-like wings and generally have fairy-like traits, they also are usually quiet small, they have various magical qualities that can be attributed to fairies as well.
Being cold blooded, most dragons are vulnerable against cold conditions and attacks of the sort, with exceptions of dragons that have an affiliation with it. Dragons usually have tough scales that act as natural armor, though their bellies tend to be of soft scutes and scales that are the Achilles heel to their physical defense. Dragons have a hard time of overcoming their sins, affecting their personalities and decision making.
Most dragons can regenerate naturally at great rates. They can regrow a loss limb or tail within a few months, large wounds can heal in weeks, however if they are fatally wounded something else must keep them alive in order for them to recover on their own. Some elemental dragons can regenerate certain factors seemingly instantly, and many hydras can also heal most wounds in minutes. While many dragons have access to magic, their breathe weapons are usually from biological factors instead of magic, though many have sortof blended or amplified their breathe attacks with magic. The most common breathe weapon for dragons are fire. While dragons are affiliated with fire, they are not completely immune to it. While they cannot be burned or damaged by heat alone, the force from flames can knock them back with enough force, and elemental dragons that are weak against fire will start to loose conscienceless and magical power against great amount of heat.
Most dragons are capable of great strength and speed, attributing to their massive size. Dragons with forked tongues have a great sense of smell like most lizards and snakes.
Dragons are considered scourges to both humans and monsters, and even benevolent dragons can be criticized or faulted for crimes of their kin. Dragons vary greatly in power, though only those that can communicate and have a sentient intelligence can attend the school, and as such the monster world classifies them as S Class, since most dragons that have these qualities are powerful enough to qualify this ranking. However not all dragons are so strong, as some can be as low as a D class.
Most dragons are territorial, often fighting with other dragons for areas both in social constructs or in savage wilds. However some dragons form broods, or clans. A single or pair of dragons often hold authority either by brute force or wisdom over other dragons, and creating family ties within them. As such broodlings tend to resemble closely to the leading dragon.
Whelps are dragons that are under 100 years old, and is also used as an insult to dragons. Despite variety dragons are quiet rare both in numbers and interactions with others. Even among monsters dragons tend to keep to themselves or their broods, rarely interacting with other monsters except when they wish to consume them or burn down their society.
Appearance:
5'11
67 feet long.
Backstory: Jackal was born from fire, he never knew his original parents, but he was born a fire elemental hellkite. Being without any parenthood or guidance he raised himself for a bit over a decade before enrolling in the Yokai high school.
Bio: He is a dragon of iron-like scales and various fire attacks. He was born from the sin of pride and wrath, and as such he constantly overestimates himself and underestimates others, especially those that aren't dragons. He can easily become enraged though he tries to work on his short temper, a flaw he intends to fix as soon as possible. Otherwise, he seeks both knowledge and to socialize with other creatures that many prideful dragons would deem either food or fools. While he boasts of his draconic lineage he does wish to become more social with other monsters and try to leave behind his kin.
Abilities and weaknesses: He possesses a forked tongue like most dragons, and being a fire elemental he has great magic of fire abilities, and an amplified breathe weapon. He can move at great speeds, especially at flight, and even in his human form he can lift a few tons without trouble. It should be noted that his human form lacks much of the power, speed, and magic potency his original form has. His scales are like iron, with the exception of the belly which is as vulnerable as human skin. He suffers against temperatures below 60 degrees F, and while he can heat up his own body with fire, he can only do this for 10 minutes before passing out from exhaustion. Ice magic and similar powers work very effectively against him, as they can not only damage him but weaken his magic as well. His prideful attitude can make him poorly judge his opponents or obstacles and can lead for him to make a careless mistake or walk right into a trap, and if enraged while he becomes more wild and ferocious, he is much more easier to trick and 'toy' with, exhausting more energy while enraged leads him to get tired out faster.
@dragonmancer lol wow you went crazy with our favorite race. I will have to say 2 things though in regards to the types. 1. I've always seen Draconian as being the humanoid dragons not Drakkens. and 2. Drakken/Drakkon how ever you wish to spell it I've always known to be an incredible ancient type of dragon that normally has no wings (some do), with scales stronger than a regular dragon, just looking into their eyes can paralyze your body (pretty much just out of fear). their own saliva is acidic. they can't breath fire but they don't really need to, also they make regular dragon seem like puppy dogs in many ways including size. they can have 4 or more legs.
you went on with different types of dragons but you didn't really state the strengths and weaknesses at-lest of the one your being, well at first you didn't lol.. after this I had a plan for a special dragon roleplay, I know for certain to invite you to lol.
@olcharlieboi I didn't want to go too indepth with other dragon types, just to give you the basic idea of its variety. And yeah the thing with drakkens is that they can either have abilities like draconians, or not. Even with dragons of the same type, power, size, and magic varies greatly, not including the mutations of hydra, elemental, and fae that each type can receive. Drosians are technicly the strongest dragon type, as they can potentially harbor god-like abominations of absurd power and form.
@dragonmancer well I'll say one major thing and that is with in this world dragons are probably going to be few in number, probably mostly wiped out by humans, or monsters. or sealed away in order to try and maintain peace.
@olcharlieboi Yeah dragons are very rare, I prefer to keep it that way. I like the idea where dragons are potentially the strongest creature but are so few in numbers and have so little influence in the world that they are neither the most major of threats nor so commonplace in the world for them to be rampant or well known other then from legend.
Edit: On that note I typically shy away from dragon based rps since it kind of breaks that rarity on dragons.
@dragonmancer well compared to the dark lords maybe only one of the strongest dragons could go toe to toe with them lol, since some of the dark lords are seen like god-like creatures.
The roleplay was planned for basically the rebirth of dragons lol, they had nearly all been wiped out besides a few eggs and one dragon, and a huge thing goes about him bringing back the dragons using mortals in special ways.
in the terms of this roleplay I'm just trying to make sure there is enough weaknesses appropriate for the strength since stronger a creature is in this universe the more weaknesses they contain. Probably could include Dragonsbane plant which can weaken dragons should they be near it and if ingested poison them depending on how much is consumed. (mainly just trying to make where some fights aren't entirely one sided).
@olcharlieboi I should also mention that since Jackal is a teenager he is a whelp, or juvenile, in terms of dragon aging, which means while he has the potential to be one of the strongest monsters during the rp span he isn't quiet on that level yet. I do like the idea of dragonsbane, that wasn't something I thought of. Ironically magic is also a good way to fight against dragons, even against elementals dragons are superior with physical superiority and aside from heat they aren't really immune to anything else, although they do have a lot of physical resistance.
I also like the sealing idea you proposed, as that not only limits dragons further but I can make that sort of involved with Jackal's birth.
Edit: and yeah, Drosians have the potential to be that strong, not guaranteed, a drosian could also be a weak lizard-like dragon the size of a dog.
Also that idea interests me, when thats up let me know!
@dragonmancer lol, hm.. I guess his alright if include dragonsbane as one of the external weaknesses. since you stated other stuff that could be used against him and other weaknesses that actually are pretty good towards his strength/possible strength. so with that added I'd suppose accepted. granted we have a lot of characters that tend to use magical abilities lol.
@olcharlieboi Jackal's magic only extends to his amplified breathe and some other small fire attacks like igniting his own body in flames. Otherwise most of his strength his physical strength and speed.
Edit: Im suprised we havent seen a werewolf or anything yet.
@dragonmancer ya I had kind of expected a vampire or werewolf or both. then again I did change a lot of things about them that fits the anime this was based off so that could be why (shrugs)
also that other rp may be a while for it to go up, since I'm fairly split now between roleplays, granted most of them are at 1-2 posts a day if lucky lol.
