Interest Check, Intermediate to Advanced writing ability, and this is for an idea about 1v1 or 3v3 fight in the skies on dragons.
Setting: Battle of attrition between two opposing forces in the mountains that separate them. The two opposing forces are aided by what will be called, Dragon Lords (players). These Lords are the catalyst to swaying the battle in one direction or the other.
Objective: The Dragon Lord(s) elimination, or the attrition value reaches 0 for your side.
Two types of attacks: Dragon Lord(s) can turn toward the army of the opposing force to take a turn in reducing the amount of the forces number, or the Dragon Lord can engage in aerial combat with another Dragon Lord.
Turn-Based Feature: Once a Dragon Lord has initiated a combat move either toward the army or toward another Dragon Lord, the opposing Dragon Lord has an opportunity to defend or take the hit. If the hit is taken, the damaged Dragon or Dragon Lord now has a free decision to attack the opposing army or counter.
Attrition Feature: Each army begins with 2000 soldiers, I roll dice after all Dragon Lords have initiated attack and responded to the attack. Two six-sided dice are rolled, and they are rolled twice for each side.
6x6 = 36x10 = 360 lost per turn vs. 4x5 = 20x10 = 200 lost per turn
2000 vs 2000
2000 - 360 vs. 2000 - 200
1640 vs. 1800
(This works the same as if a Dragon Lord attacks the army, so depending on the battle and which way it is swaying, sacrificing your Dragon for a turn to take out troops could be an option.)
Define a Dragon Lord: These are skilled individuals who are typically going to be a part of a prestigious family who can afford the training and resources required for this investment. The individual will be trained in hand to hand, weapons, acrobatics, and how to bind to a dragon. There are exceptions to the rule (such is life), the character does not have to be prestigious but there must be an exceptional circumstance as to their ability and how they were able to bind with the single most powerful beast in this world.
Trial of Ancient Binding: The individual seeking to become a Dragon Lord must first, find a Dragon Heart. A Dragon Heart is a powerful stone in which the soul of the dragon sleeps in when not activated. Once a Dragon Heart is found, it must be activated by Will. The Dragon Heart will respond to the intent and purpose of the individual and thus activate by opening a portal between the Draconian plane and physical one. Once the portal is opened, the Dragon will begin the trials of binding by challenging the human and their abilities. If the Dragon does not end up killing the human, or the human somehow mounts the dragon, then the trial is completed. The Dragon becomes telepathically integrated into the human's psychic world and fills the Dragon Heart with their Soul for on-call summoning. The Dragon Heart can then be equipped into a weapon of the now, Dragon Lord, and the weapon will become an extension of the Dragon itself.
Ancient Dragons and Wild Dragons:
Ancient Dragons are those who pervade time, they are immortal but do go into a long slumber if defeated in the world their Hearts breathe in. Ancient Dragons are connected to the Dragon Hearts that remain as fossils throughout the land. Dragon Hearts are not common, but they are also not extremely rare. The rarity of seeing an Ancient Dragon exists because those who wish to call upon it, do not always meet the required Will be asking of by the Dragon and thus are a waste of time.
Wild Dragons are limited under the time constraint and cannot be tamed, unless an Ancient is present. The Ancient may call on Wild Dragons to organize under them if their power is seen as greater. Wild Dragons gather in families of 5-6, and then those families will have one Alpha that dictates their direction. If the Alpha is defeated by another Dragon, then all the families will adopt the new Alpha as their leader.
This is a quick overview of the idea for an arena battle in the mountains on dragons.
Dragon Lord Sheet:
Name:
Title: King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Baron, Baroness, Duke, Duchess, Knight of...,
Age: 21-45
Dragon Heart Weapon: This will be the Dragon Lord's weapon that they use in combat. There is only one DH weapon per Dragon Lord. The DH weapon must be a melee weapon.
Dragon Heart Ability:
(1) Power Ability - An example of a power ability would be to point the DH weapon in a direction with a spiral of fire weaving across itself to produce a projected stream of fire toward your adversary.
(2) Balanced Ability - An example would be to harden the steel of the blade itself to shatter a inferior weapon in conflict or to deal damage to another dragon by piercing it's armor with more effectiveness.
(3) Passive Ability - An example would be the DH provides enhanced stamina for the Lord.
Physical Abilities:
(1) Focus - What is the focus of their physical ability, is it to be agile, strong, flexible, etc.
(2) Use - If the focus is strength, how strong are they, and how have they used their strength in the past.
Mystic Abilities:
(1) Elemental Focus - The individual has learned through the esoteric circle of Dragon Taming will have an affinity to a particular Element, and will have learned ways to use their life source to conjure and manipulate that Element. Which element has your Dragon Lord chosen?
(2) Elemental Power - If your Dragon Lord's affinity to Earth is claimed, then your Dragon Lord may be able to draw thick vines from him or her and the environment around them and use them in combat. Note: When an elemental power is activated, it draws loads of energy to sustain, and must be an ability that locks the Dragon Lord's movement.
Dragon Name:
Dragon Power:
(1) Unique Power - The Dragon may use this power once in combat, it does not have to directly affect the 1v1, they could have the power to call in more Wild Dragons which can bolster the total number of attrition for your side, or vice versa, you could have a power that grants you the ability to target the army while simultaneously attacking or defending against another Dragon Lord.
Anyways this a quick write up for interests sake, I vomited all this out, help clean it up if you are interested in making this a cool concept to run with. Do not hesitate to ask questions as everything detailed here is up for debate!
