[OOC] How To Train Your Dragon

I think I fixed it! I might have made more problems but I tried. T^T

Accepted! Bone Knapper seems like a very cool dragon. Glad to have you aboard with us!

Intro is also up!

[Gemini]

Oop! Sorry, didn't see! Changed it, hope it's acceptable now! ;D The only trouble is it doesn't show size, stealth, all that stuff. If the Windwalker doesn't work, then it'll be a Wolf-Fang, as my character is pretty small, even for a sixteen-year-old.

[Sightles]

That's fine. It's accepted! My dragon doesn't have actual stats, either. Just roleplay what you think is appropriate for your dragon, and it'll all be good!

Also, I hope the intro was acceptable.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, the intro was great! Really set the mood! :D

[FancySockDragon]

The intro was amazing ^3^! Then again, my standards are from miiverse in which there ARE no standards XD. This whole forrum thing seems so serious. So, do we continue with more posts or do we wait till everyone else posts to continue?

[Ace of Jacks]

Post up

Also, to put it out there if for anyone posting, feel free to have known my character beforehand. I'll just go along

[Sightles]

You can contiune with posts, until you interact with someone else. It's a free for all right now, since none of the current posters have interacted with each other, really. It's up to you!

[FancySockDragon]

XD I don't think I'm gonna have my character try to know people, being the antisocial teenager she is she'll probably participate then leave. Though, rust might interfere.

[FancySockDragon]

I have no idea how to make use of this accedental double post . . .

[Ace of Jacks]

I was thinking about approaching Seelo. In a bit mayhaps. But changed the spelling of Bale to Bael XD

[eddieddi]

If anyone's read Johnathan Livingston Seagull, they might see a bit of that in Val. any excuse to fly, and flying above all else is truth.
you can research dragons. Val will research flying! and yes. That is a supersonic dragon. I'm still trying to work out the maximum Mach that Nyx can hit in a full on dive.

If it matters, I like the spelling of Bael. Yeah, go ahead and approach Seelo if you want! I wasn't gonna have Seelo do anything for a bit, and just let the thread progress for a little bit.

Yeah, I'm basically doing the same thing. Seeing if anyone wants to talk to me and I might have Emmie do some other stuff...

[Ace of Jacks]

Didnt want him confused with,say, a bale of hay :3 I was gonna sit back and see what everyone does first, too. May write up a second post if I'm up to it soon and interact. I get bored and feel one-sided otherwise

Not to contest the abilities of your dragon and you, or to but a damper on anything, but I just want to point out that supersonic flight is well over 700 miles per hour, which is, I believe, five-six times faster than a high-end racecar. Which, is also fast enough to dodge most bullets fired out of a most rifles, if I think is correct.

I'm not asking you to edit your post, or change your vision of your dragon, I'm just pointing out if this is accurate, since your dragon has the most deadly venom, along with thick scales.

I know. I'm doing the maths. Also, as a note; a toxic nightshade is the same (flight skill/speed wise) as a Nightfury. however bigger.
Assuming the standard drag equation of;
Pd = 1/2pv^2CdA.
where PD is drag
P is the mass density of air.
v is velocity reletive to air
A is area facing.
Cd is the drag coefficent

We know that the dragons evolved to fly, so we can assume they have a streamlined body, Thus a coefficient of 0.04 is applicable. The p is the mass density of air is aprox 0.001225 g/cm^3
V is velocity which is Acceleration by time, Acceleration due to gravity is mass Per second. Its a big dragon, so I'm saying 400 to 500kg. considering a fully grown elephant is 2750kg on average, and the weight of horse rangers from 400 to 600 on average. Thats 400m/s acceleration. So yes. A good sized dragon, from high up, I'm only talking 50 to 80km, which we see the dragons flying around in ALL the time. (thats the average cloud level). This is not taking in to account the extra weight of the rider, Nor the adjustments for atmospheric thinning. However, I could only hit Mach 3, at best. assuming standard atmospheric composition, Otherwise I end up outside the Karman line. (which I'm defining as the upper survivable limit, since in this 'verse they can survive fine flying around at cloud height.)

Yay for SCIENCE.

Additional; This is NOT on the flat in a stright line. This is in a dive, a speed dive, uninterrupted from miles in the air. for any situation, other than a straight line race, this is useless. Val is just pushing limits of flight. as per usual for him.

Alright, I was unaware the Toxic Nightshade moved at Night Fury levels of speed. It's obvious that you put a ton of work into this. I was just wondering if this was entirely balanced, considering how I interpreted the Toxic Nightshade to be. I considered the Toxic Nightshade to be extremely venomous, while also having considerable defenses, but being of average speed. I'm simply looking out for everyone else, and making sure everything is relatively balanced. :)

Nah, The nightshade is a shadow predator, Lethal to a man? Yes, Fast as hell itself? yes, Tanky? You wish.
If you remember Toothless lost a tail fin, just from a net. Nyx is similarly fragile. She makes up for it with extreme agility and speed. Hence why I chose her as Val's partner, No other dragon could satisfy his insatiable desire for faster, higher, more difficult flight.

[Ace of Jacks]

Since I don't know much about the Stealth dragons, I'm adopting a few properties of Changewings.

[Sightles]

Alright, thank you for clarifying the Toxic Nightshade. Appreciate it! I had a completely different notion of the Nightshade.
