There's a lot to cover. Alright. First, this RP takes place on a desert continent mostly inhabited by dragon-people known as dracons. The RP you see here is the continuation of an older form of the RP which was on the now-defunct older form of the roleplayer guild and earlier forums before that.

Most of that really old stuff is irrelevant by now. At present, the RP is as much a slice-of-life as anything else, mostly focused on the lives of the characters as opposed to adventures. With Bloonewb's arrival, this is starting to change.

Dracons are a species largely of my own invention. I admit taking some inspiration from the old Wizardry series (Wizardry 8 specifically) for their name and one of their abilities (they can breathe a weak acid), but just about everything else is original. They live in a desert continent which is divided into many independent kingdoms and political units ranging from city-states to migratory tribes. There are minority species as well (kobolds, humans, goblins, etc), but most inhabitants are dracons.

A dracon stands about as tall as a human, with male dracons being on average as large as the upper end of human men, while female dracons are about average in comparison human women in terms of size and height. All dracons have a snout, two horns, a tail, no wings, a rounded tongue (not forked), fangs, and claws. Here's a picture:

Dracon

Dracons never use footwear, tend to dress lightly in the heat of their desert homeland (although adult male dracons usually wear pants and a shirt outdoors), and female dracons have a lighter underbelly color, which also includes their soles, palms, and underside. Male dracons are monochromatic in their skin tone. Common dracon skin tones include red, green, brown, and gray. Other colors (like blue) exist, but are rare.

The current players are Caits, Bloonewb, and myself. Ghostwing used to be a major player, but she's either gone from the guild or is taking a long break. Currently, the dracon characters mostly come from two families: those of Adykon and Aerta (my characters; Adykon is the guy in my avatar) and the children of two other dracons known as Jammy and Marx (Cait's characters).

Adykon's children in the RP are adults, as are those of Marx's family. And no, this has nothing to do with communism or the Marx brothers. :D

Adykon's family are his sons Larek, Veax, Caex, Kosjurec (Kos for short), and his daughters Aura and Orna. Adykon himself if a big hero in the dracon lands for his defeat of a great evil being known as Dememoras. Caex is a character who was married to Ghostwing's character Avera, but they are no longer in the RP due to her absence. Likewise, Aura is married to Ryland, another of Ghostwing's characters and is also absent. Caex and Avera have two children: Auryn and Anyon, but they are pretty much irrelevant here. I mention them just in case anyone asks.

Cait's other characters are Nyx (female, married to Larek), Hermia (female, married to Veax), Sasha (female, married to Kos), and Tran (male, married to Orna). They are starting to have children as well. So far, Larek and Nyx have a son named Kastor.

Bloonewb has introduced some kobold characters to the story, and a good bet for entry into the plot would be through that part of the story. Since Caits is a fellow GM, you should contact her if you want to get in on parts of the story involving her characters. In any event, Bloonewb's character is a half-dracon, half-kobold character. Kobolds are a lot like dracons, but they are shorter, weaker, and often treated as second-class citizens.

At present, most of my characters are with Nyx's, but there is a revolt going on among some of the kobolds in the more recent pages. I control a few characters on that front, including Adykon and Aerta (his wife). I am sure there are some questions for both of you, and I am happy to answer them.

Yes. If you have any questions about the races or setting, please ask me.

Name: Yuri Aksakov

Appearance: A short man with his wooden staff and his bomber jacket with white shirt and blue jeans. Light blonde hair and his noticeable dark blue eyes.

Preferred magics: Battle magics

Previous Affiliations: Russian Alliance of Magicians and Warlocks

History: Yuri was born in a poor family and living with his mother and aunt because his father left him when he was a baby. He studied to be a mage wanting power and money for his own selfish means.

[Aristocles]

While I'm not against the character overall, this doesn't take place in the real world, or a fictionalized version of it. In other words, there's no Russia or Russians. I'll let the jeans bit slide, though. Otherwise, this isn't bad.

[Eviledd1984]

@Aristocles

Far enough sorry about that I should have asked first what kinds of world the to takes place in.

[Aristocles]

@Eviledd1984

Do you still want to RP here? You are still welcome.

[Eviledd1984]

@Aristocles

Of course i may just have to change my sheet to be proper.

@Eviledd1984

Indeed. I can make some suggestions if you want.

[Eviledd1984]

@Aristocles

Yeah sure shoot.

[Aristocles]

You could explain what he's doing in the dracon lands, for one thing. Was he born there? A visitor? If he's a guest, he'd be dressed like most humans, but if he was raised there, he might have taken on some dracon cultural characteristics. He (or his family) cannot have come from Russia, but maybe a "northern land" or something like that. His battle magic seems good, but you might want to be a bit more specific what kinds of magic this means. Did he study magic with dracons?

[Eviledd1984]

@Aristocles

Of course sorry about the long wait i was not tagged, Umm sure and is their any other magic he might have learned?What kind of clothing would Drago or normal human's would wear?

[Aristocles]

No real limit on magic types as long as it isn't that overpowered. As for clothes, nothing too modern for a dracon or a human. Like, no watches, t-shirts, that sort of thing.
