Dragon tribe ooc/icAny questions pm them to me. ^^ TalijaKey~
In the world Angenus, inhabited with many different species from pixies up to Cyclops one species wields the most powerfully magic of them all and that are the dragons. No other specie has the chance to kill a dragon who awaits the fight. But there is always a exception, and this one exception carries the name humans.
Humans with their steam machines and weak magic learnt to kill the dragons.
From the dragon bones structures are built that never break down, from the dragon teeth tools are made that never become dull, from the skin protection and shield are build that never rip in front of the nature,from the blood and organs magic items are made of great power and from the dragons meet and fat medicine that heal and improves the strength of the one eating it.
Most dragons dispute humans for this ability of adapting and learning. Feeling that even if the hunting doesnt bring death that often to dragons it still worries them. Making the prideful creatures return to the safety of the many tribes around the world. Because the tribe is shielded with a powerfully hiding shield and no one can enter if they arent a dragon or carried by one.
But even so not all humans are liking the idea of killing this powerfully beings. Some are saying they are gods and should be work shipped, finding in the far lands temped where the dragons use humans as their slaves, till churches where dragons protects the humans. There are humans who speaks that the dragons are the root of all evil with their powers to destroy a full country with their magic and should be killed, there are humans who are driven by curiosity towards those ancient beast and want to learn and understand them...
But the dragons arent that different either they are curious towards the human world, or fearing it as root of all evil that become over them and some say that peace is possible.
So first things first our character will be mostly dragons, You will roleplay a dragon. (maybe 1 human on 4 dragons)
The roleplay focus is mostly intended to be free roam with character development with some plot lines that can be used by anyone to improve the story, if the people feel uncomfortable with free roam I will be then giving a plot that can we follow and experience. ^^
DragonsAppearance
-Normal form is what you usually think when one say dragon.
Any dragon you can come up with is allowed, well it has to resemble a dragon in one way or another.
//examples:
Want a dragon 10m big, its ok.
Want a dragon as small as a bunny with scales and cute dragon wings, its ok.
Want a furry in water living asian shaped dragon its ok too.
etc...
//
-Compact form:
Is what it sound like a compact form of a dragon their second face. In lot of cases if not all the compact form is humanlike, with a mistake or two that resemble their dragon form. Those mistakes are often covered with human cloths.
//examples:
A dragon having a girl like appearance but has a smaller version of the horns peeking under the hair.
Or the dragons compact form has its chest covered in scales.
Or maybe the feet arent those of a human but are shaped like the dragon feet.
etc...//
This form appears after a freshly born baby dragon reaches 100 days. They transform in the compact form. Every dragon is able to do it.
There are great individuality in the behavior of the compact form. Some compact form ages with the dragon age, some age reversely and some babies have one compact form they whole life. While other age only a few years, their first form being for example 25 year old man, that over the life of the dragon age up to 35.
Dragons Age
Lets first look at the Dragons age.
You see In dragons life magic is a extremely important life aspect so much that they dont give a penny about the human years. But have age that in the same describe how powerful of magic they have. Each dragon can sense this level naturally.
Every 10 humans years there is a ceremony The festival in these days the dragons can show off their magic and officially be recognized that they got older. Of course the aging can be very individually too.
//examples
There can be 750 human year old baby
And 20 human year old adult.
Some dragons improve so fast in their magic ability that they jump over a age or two.
etc...//
The Ages
Baby-
Only able to change into their compact form doesnt show off any other magic abilities.
Child-
Small magic burst, often uncontrolled magic, weak magic.
Teen-
Stronger magic then child can get at times out of control, but able to do lots more. Time when dragons explore what can they do with their magic.
Adults-
Stronger magic then teen able to do lots with their magic, nearly never lose control over the magic. And are able to give birth to dragon eggs
Grandma/Grandpa-
High class magic, tend to teach the young ones who ask them to do it, Help in protection of dragons and tribes. Can give birth to dragon eggs
GrandGrandma/GrandGrandpa-
Miracle magics, magic that can rip up continents, cause a whole land to sunk in darkness or dry out a ocean. The most powerfully dragons, often considered to be the leaders figures, can teach the young who ask them. And always spend their time in the tribe as their magic powers the protection that hides the tribe from humans. Cannot give birth to dragon eggs because their magic strength overloads the egg destroying the egg before its done.
Dragon Eggs
Dragons recognize their gender only by the looks of their compact form. As such any two dragon regardless of gender can make a new life, a dragon egg. The dragons do not stay pregnant. When they mate the magic of two dragons and their love is what creates the egg out of nothing.
There is great variation in both sizes and coloration of the egg which depends on the magic influence of the parents. But the baby doesnt have to have any magic similarities to its parents.
There is no strict time of the eggs incubation, or the need of the egg. Each egg takes its own time to hatch and some need to be in cold some in heat some in water and some do not need any attention. Dragons by touch can sense what does the egg need.
But there is a believing in the dragons folk, that is that the longer the hatching takes the stronger the born dragon.
Some eggs hatch withing days some takes 1000 years, some appear to never to hatch.
When it comes to parenting some dragons are the most dotting mothers while others prefer to leave the egg in the tribes nursery for caretaker. Neither is being judged on.
So a baby dragon may have never meet his parents, while others grow up with one or both of them.
Morals
Lets call it Morals.
1. Each dragon life is the most precious and has to be protected.
2.Each dragons chose and free will is to be respected as long as it doesnt endanger a dragons life
3.Each dragon can chose how to life his life.
4.Each dragon is unique and is loved for it.
(some rulers that have exception to them)
-Babies are to never leave the tribe.
-Children can only leave in the company of a teen or older.
-Teen and older are free to come in and out of the tribe as they wish.
-Humans are forbidden to be taken to the tribe
//Examples
You see because the dragons free will is important, and there are dragons who are human obsessed or human loving, you can see in the tribe a human house while beside it a dragon sleep under his tree. Or random human object that some dragon took in the tribe. Well each object is controlled over by the oldest to make sure not a one is a tracker or something to dis-spell the tribe protection.
Well that wouldnt stop the more traditional dragons to frown over this human things, but they respect and just nag about those.//
The Tribe
There was only one tribe at the begging of the time the big tribe surrounded by high mountains. But times werent idle and peacefully there was a war between dragons for the wish to rule and not be ruled. It was a just hatched dragon with great power that challenge every dragon there was and in less then 100 days from its birth he won against everyone, his magic a miracle. He changed his body to a young person, surprising the beast around them, declaring he is the oldest dragon.
He taught every dragon the respect for each other and gave them free will to live how they wished for. He shared his secrets of transformation giving ever dragon a second form, but even his magic couldnt make them perfect to his own second form. Some bits of the beast remained.
Given the free will to do what each wanted many explored the world but every ten years their would hear the voice, a soft one calling them back, to their first home to celebrate life and its flow.
That tribe is the tribe where the Festival is being hold.
Each tribe has at least one grandgrandma/grandgrandpa that feed the shield around the tribe. This shield is like a bubble imagine the magic that hide Hogwarts for comparative. Humans would just not be able to come close on their own. At least not with out a dragon leading them in. At the time where this rp will start there are many tribes, but they all migrate for the festival over to this one. Well each dragon choose is to come or not.
Each tribe has a nursery where is taken care of the eggs, some dragons choose to live in the tribe some not. The tribe is pretty big and has many variation in housing. Caves trees houses, etc. In the tribe our rp will happen there is a natural arena.
The Festival
The festival is a really important thing for the dragons. The duration of the festival varies from the time to time but it never shorter then a week and never longer then 4 weeks.
This time is when the biggest egg boom happens too. Because dragon from all around come in this time of celebration finding a partner is much more successfully.
The main part of the festival is the Aging ceremony. Each dragon that chose comes with his momentary age group and does one of two things to be considered older.
1. Show off their magic.
2. Challenge a dragon that is a age group over them.
In 1 they have to impress, get approved by most grandgrandma/pa that are there. In second the grandgrand choose the dragon against who they will fight, but they may accept a volunteer as the opponent. The fight last till one surrenders or one is K.O. if a dragon endangers the life of the other the GG will interrupt.
Falling the Aging isnt considered too bad, its like failing a exam there is always the next time.
Magic
Okay what sort of magic does dragon wield?
Well 90% are element based. 10% are not.
So having a for example a water manipulating dragon is common, but a necromancy dragon is rare.
but dragons or some of them can wield more then one type of magic.
So a dragon wielding earth and snow can be found on occasion but a dragon wielding telekinesis and animal control is super super rare.
most dragons just think and the magic happens some thought use poems hums and words to help them keep their magic under control.
I will ask you guys not to just say water magic but to explain what he exactly do with the water magic, does he turn the water into balls and shot them use it as a whip, evaporate it etc.
And if you deiced to be able to create life from example light butterflies that allow you to see far away, then be aware that they will die fast as in within hours and cannot be complexes life forms.
Now we have came to the humans.
In the rp there will be a human village just 30 minutes flying away from the tribe. Curious dragon frequent there. The human civilization will be on a steam-punk level and appearance with support for magic that is not the common thing.
So if your dragon decide to spend time there they will need fitting cloths.
And not to have dragons constantly run around in naked compact forms because their cloths ripped, we will say when they transform back to the normal form the cloths are magically hidden under the scales till they are back to the compact form.
And yes dragon can very well get drunk.
There are many possible plot-lines possible.
One can be that dragon human friendship, and the dragon bringing the human to the celebration.
Another that some dragon who are humanloving deiced that a revolt against tradition should happen. And democracy shall take place. Demanding change and war with the humans.
Some love romance flirting,
Hatching of a baby
Or just the aging itself.
A baby sneaking out with a adult/teen and getting nearly killed.
A option is that all those things happen at the same time. Well, Those are ideas I would like to see what you want to do and such because the accent is your characters here. So lets work together~
This turned a bit bigger than I awaited. Well lets see if there are interested people. Any questions?
