Dystopia

Appearance

Appearance:

Human form:


Second form:

Name: Alastair Dracos

Race: Dracan

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Rank/Affiliation: Crowned Prince and heir to the Dracan throne

Personality: Alastair is cunning and precise, he doesn't like to talk much unless it's completely necessary, though he is never wrong when he does voice his opinion on a matter. He is quick to spring into action should danger present itself, and is very protective of his family, especially his younger brother, whom many see as weak and useless.

Weaknesses: Pride and his quick temper, and his siblings

Strengths: Strategy and planning, physically strong in both forms as well as agile, skilled fighter

Brief Bio: Alastair was born the second son of the Dracan king, his older brother died at a young age of unknown causes, letting the burden of the throne fall to Alastair. The Dracos line was known for being the one to longest hold the right of ruling, for no one has been able to match the skill and strength of its children. Alastair learned the art of combat at a young age, as well as reading and writing, though he was not at all scholarly. He committed himself to studying swordplay, archery, and becoming a master at wielding any weapon. He has proved his skill many times in battle, and will not hesitate to prove it once more.

Dystopia - fantasy stuff, dragons, murder, much plot, such fun

There ya are. So sorry for the delay I've been having issues with the site.

Dystopia

In a land laid waste by war, and drought, and misfortune there seems to be nothing but misery. Nothing grows anymore, the workers have abandoned the fields, most had been drafted into the army and subsequently killed in battle after pointless battle. Parents watched their children starve to death. Even the wealthiest families suffered want. In this I could be speaking of either the Dracan people, or the Gryphos people. Their plights were the same. They suffered the same and died the same. The war between the two kingdoms had been waged for generations, everyone had long since forgotten what started it, and now there was no end to it. Just war parties taking revenge on their enemies for taking revenge on them. Blood for blood for blood. Over and over, and endless circle of senseless violence.

Everyone knew that it had to stop. But no one knew how it might come about, because their hate was the only thing they had left to call their own. And that was the last thing that they wanted to surrender.

Dracan people

The Dracans are dragon shape-shifters, meaning their primary form is that of a human and secondary form is that of a dragon, and their human form bears some similarities to their dragon form (hair color corresponds to scale color and the eyes never change between the forms), they tend to be tall and strongly built, and a way of moving that reminds one of a reptile or serpent. Their society is very military-ish and status is based on physical strength and the ability to influence people through intimidation, e.g. the Dracan king or queen can be challenged at any time for the throne by anyone in a one on one battle to the death, and the winner may take the throne, though it is still common for a particular family to hold the throne for several generations, with the position being passed on to the most promising of offspring (generally the eldest male). Common folk tend to be hunters and gatherers, minimal farming but much craft and they are excellent traders of some of the finest weapons, jewelry, tools, dye, and animal pelts.

Gryphos people

The Gryphos are smaller in stature than the Dracans but by no means weaker. They are very inventive, inspired, and very artistic. They have large round eyes and at the base of their necks under their hair you can find downy feathers. As the Dracans, their human and griffin forms share similar traits such as eye color and hair/feather color. As you know, a griffin is generally depicted as being half-eagle half-lion, but in this case it can almost be any bird/feline cross, I've even seen a green parrot griffin and it looked pretty cool, and I'll go into more detail on this in the OOC's OP (if we have OOC's on this new forum… eh, I'll figure it out. Point is, this isn't the final draft.) Gryphos culture is much more agricultural, they raise many crops and animals and are expert weavers and tailors, producing the finest cloth and clothing.

Alacai people

The Alacai are fair and very elf-like, just like the others, their two forms share similarities that distinguish them. Generally flowing hair, fair skin, deep eyes, and all have a star-like mark on their foreheads where their horns would be in their second form. Their culture is surrounded in much mystery, generally they keep to themselves, only a few daring to venture out to other countries and mingle among other races, and that mostly out of curiosity. As a result of this, it is believed there are far fewer Alacai than there actually are, and they have done nothing to refute such rumors. The Alacai are also very deeply rooted in magic (which is seen as underhanded in Dracan society and more fairy-tail in Gryphos society). They are not magical as in study and casting of spells, but more in that magic is an essence which each is born with, and gives them some "unearthly" powers if you will, which differ from person to person. They are not known for trade, though occasionally you might stumble across a trinket or talisman that will bring you good fortune, and you know it must be of Alacai origin. They are known to be neutral and do not take sides.

Half breeds

Half breeds are very rare, and tend to hide themselves for shame. It is considered dishonorable for two individuals from different races to have children, and even worse for the children as they are considered something akin to a plague. However, on the rare occasion that it does happen, e.g. Gryphos x Alacai, you would not end up with a person whose second form was half griffin and half unicorn. Whichever parent gene was dominant would determine the second form of the child to be either griffin or unicorn, not both. If the dominant gene were griffin though, the individual may still display rather Alacaian aspects such as fair features or a superior intellect.

Brief bio:

Stargate - H.M.S Tempest

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to drop out. Between sucky college wi-fi and the glitches in the site RPing is really not easy right now. My apologies, anyone can take over my character if they wish. Best of luck.

Just so you know Alt, no-one knows about Eydis except Astridh and the Tok'ra high council, she's an infiltrator.

Oooh okay didn't catch that, I'll go edit.

Stargate - H.M.S Tempest

Dr. Lee had been a resident of the Tempest for about three weeks strong prior to her official launch. They'd been rather hectic weeks at that. Even though all the medical supplies had been stocked long before his arrival, it was his job to go over everything and make sure that nothing was missing or misplaced or mislabeled or expired. Needless to say, it was tedious work, and while he'd gotten to know a few of the crew-members though his work hadn't left him much time for socializing. He figured there'd be plenty of time for that once they got into space, but for now he kept his mind focused on the necessary tasks of checking and familiarizing himself with the equipment.

While he was an expert in the field of human medicine, he'd never had the privilege of operating any Goa'uld or Asgard technology, though after some tinkering he found that the machines were quite easy to operate. The communicator on his arm was new, but came in very handy, as did the Tempest's version of a tablet, at least it sure beat carrying a clipboard around. Launch day snuck up on him though, and it seemed like he'd barely finished when he was summoned to the bridge for launch. He shed the white coat and put it away, donning the uniform jacket with the insignia identifying him as medical personnel and made his way quickly to the deck just as the exchange with the SGC came to a close, and a bottle of wine was zapped onto the bridge. That won't last long, was the only thought he had time to think before the order was given.

He felt a sudden stab of doubt, about his decision to accept this mission. It was true he was probably the most qualified, otherwise they wouldn't have asked him, but he was sure there were others. His parents would be proud of him, he knew, they would want him to go. And it wasn't as if he'd left many close friends behind. A handful that he would miss, but nothing like a wife and children, nothing to really hold him down on Earth. Just the dog, that raggedy old mutt he would miss the most, leaving him behind was probably the most difficult decision he'd made in joining this expedition.

He shook off these feelings as the engines came to life, he could feel the slightest vibration through the floor, but just barely, it was incredible. Dr. Lee realized he'd been holding his breath, and he let it out slowly, watching the faces of those around him, and for the first time since being asked to be here he felt a small thrill of excitement. This was certainly grandest adventure he had ever embarked upon, and by golly he was not ready, but it didn't matter because he was long past the point of no return.

Its the middle of the night... We're about to launch the ship (when everyone has got their first post up).You're already on board and likely have been for days if not weeks.

That's what I figured. I'll get to it then.
