[OOC] Grassy Hearts, Iron Skin - a Dragon Roleplay

[Crow]

The Oriental lands are pretty peaceful. The people of these lands worship dragons, respect dragons. Some have even put dragons up on the pedestal as gods, deities even.

A few individuals are not very happy with such viewpoints, maybe because they're looneys or something, and thus chose to venture out and prove that dragons are indeed fiends. This leads them to a very special place where they will learn... they will learn that dragons are no different from humans when it comes to the way they act and speak...

Appearance

Name; Souma Ryouto (Ryou)
Gender; Male
Age; 27
Skills; Superb swordsmanship

Personality; Ryou is a very driven and hot blooded swordsman. He hates the dragons for his own reasons and is quite determined to prove they are evil. Very friendly to those he feels deserves it. He's very quick to act and often without proper thought. He tries to keep all of his focus on training, but one distraction always defeats him, women. He can be very womanizing and occasionally lecherous.

History; Ryou grew up in a dragon worshipping village. The people were very peaceful and simple farmers, accrediting their good fortune and safety to a dragon's protection. One day a band of raiders invaded and the dragons weren't there. "Our protectors left us. We worshipped them and gave them our tithes. When we needed them most they abandoned us. They used our goodwill and left us out to die." The raiders had no mercy and thought nothing of its people. His father mother and brother were all murdered before him. Instead of cowering until his death, he stabbed the raider in the back. Holding the raider's sword he stood in the doorway ready to fight when the leader found him, he decided to kidnap him, seeing what use he could be to the raiders.

He quickly became a proficient swordsman and joined their ranks. His hatred of the raiders died off and was replaced with a hatred for dragons. After the leader died the raiders disbanded and went their separate ways. Ryou became a mercenary and made a living picking up various jobs here and there. He became well known for his skills, and when asked to join a trek to fight dragon tyranny, it was a no brainier that he would join the cause.

Here's my CS. If there's anything wrong, please tell me. Thanks =))

Note: He also carries around a shiny black bow and a quiver of arrows behind him.

Name: Kyousuke Takamura

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Skills: He is exceptional with the bow and dagger. He also knows how to lockpick. A natural acrobat and pickpocket.

Personality: He is a kind and helpful teen. He is pretty sensitive and tries to help out but knows when to stop if it would take a turn to destructive. He is outgoing and pretty sociable. He loves being around people but does not entirely hate some alone time too so he can get his priorities straight.

He is, however, a thief in both heart and mind. Beneath his innocent facade is someone who is greedy and would do anything for money. But he isn't beyond making friends and he can stop himself from stealing if the moment isn't to his favor. He doesn't exactly hate the dragons but he does blame them for the death of his twin sister and his horrible luck and that is why he seeks them out.

History: Kyousuke was born in an extremely poor and nomadic family. His parents abandoned him and his twin sister because they were just extra mouths to feed. From a young age, Kyousuke learned how to steal from other people just to survive. As time passed by, he had learned how to wield certain weapons that he had stolen from other people. From a dagger to a bow, he mastered both. His sister was a frail girl so she was often left inside their makeshift house, cooking, cleaning or picking some fruits from nearby plants. That was how they lived. No one took them in despite everything.

One day, however, while Kyousuke was out and about, doing mercenary work and stealing from other people, Kristine (his twin sister) was kidnapped by a bunch of bandits. When Kyousuke got home, he immediately took all of their money and started a trek towards where Kristine was being held. He tried to convince them to let her go with money but it was fruitless. And so he fought. With a bow in hand, he shot them and even stabbed them. There were only five of them so it was easy.

However, when he reached his sister, she was already dead. Her throat has been slit and it was evident that she was 'touched' by these ruffians. Tears flowed from his eyes and he held a heavy heart. He cursed the dragons for giving him such a fate. They had not failed to give something to the dragons despite being poor. He gave her a proper burial and started being a nomad himself.

One time, while inside a pub, he caught wind of a group that was going to search for dragons and prove that they were not gods but demons. He wanted to know why they left his poor and innocent sister to die and he wanted revenge. Kyousuke joined this cause and, despite being young, was accepted because of his exceptional skill.
