It really depends on what ages everyone ends up playing. The lackey doesn't necessarily need to be super old, could be late teens if a campaign intern for a mayor or early 20s if a recruit for the sheriff. But also feel free to use whatever other ideas you had, everything is still in flux and nothing is written in stone yet.
Thanks! I'm probably gonna play the evil Thrall as someone with a lot of power and influence in the town, like a mayor or a sheriff. I won't use the term "alpha" in the RP, but if you want to play the evil Thrall's former lackey, you could say he was a former intern for the mayor or a former recruit for the sheriff.
I'll let you know once I decide exactly who the evil Thrall will be. Unlike the Faerie RP, I'm holding out a bit longer on this one to get more co-writers. I probably won't develop it any further until we have at least five people other than myself on board.

NOTE: To avoid some of the issues with my past RPs from repeating themselves, I want to say right out of the gate that my tolerance for poor writing, plotholes, and ignorance of established lore has diminished considerably in recent years. Because of that, I am only looking for co-writers who take their craft seriously, who proofread their posts to ensure there are no plotholes, and who respect what has already been established in previous posts. If you're not sure about something, feel free to PM me to double-check before you post, and if I do notice something that falls through the cracks and I ask you to make edits, please don't take it personally.
This is an idea that just recently came to me. I haven't developed it very far yet, but figured I'd throw it out there just to see if there is any interest. At the beginning of the RP, the characters are just normal humans living in the forest town of Drachenvale, Oregon. Magical origin stories have been passed down for generations, telling of a wise and powerful sorcerer named Alistair Drachen who managed defeat Mephista the Dark Dragon Queen, trapping her soul in an amulet. He hid the artifact in a tomb deep underground in a small valley within the Cascade Mountains of Central Oregon, building the town of Drachenvale directly above it in 1858. This became the home of the Dragon Watch, a team of former monster hunters charged with guarding the amulet, which became known as the Vestige of Mephista.
Now, in 2023, those old origin stories are considered myth and legend, but many of the descendants of the Dragon Watch still reside in Drachenvale, including our characters. In modern day, most forms of magic have fallen into dormancy, and virtually all of the great beasts of legend were hunted to extinction. Only a handful of people recall the Old Kingdoms, and they are mostly hermits or scholars in secret libraries. But that all changes when the town is hit with a major earthquake, which manages to slightly crack the seal on Mephista's Tomb.
That night, her soul is partially awakened, and she reaches out into the sleeping minds of Drachenvale's residents. Seeking those who have enough dormant magical potential to be of use to her, she speaks to them in their dreams, taking the form of a young, beautiful angel. She imprints upon them a burning desire to locate her Tomb, and as if in a trance, her chosen Thralls from around the town make their way to the secret entrance in the dead of night. They enter her Tomb, break the amulet out of its cage, and they are each bathed in a different color light that grants them draconic powers.
Just then, a stranger intervenes, and our characters are lifted from their trance, much to the fury of Mephista. They recognize him as Caveman Calbert, an old hermit who built a home into the side of a mountain and rarely ventures into town. Turns out he is the last surviving member of the Dragon Watch, which had stopped recruiting new members decades ago due to the magical bloodlines becoming too diluted to wield any power. Once it was just him left and he couldn't find anyone with magical potential to replace him, Calbert cast a powerful spell to bind his soul to an amulet of his own, making him immortal so long as his Vestige remained intact.
So, Calbert is able to reseal Mephista's Tomb, but because she has marked our characters as Thralls, she can still plague their dreams. Calbert explains that the only way to combat her is to gain mastery over their new abilities so that they can eventually expel her from their minds. Thus, the training begins, all while trying to maintain the Secret Oath, an ancient promise to shield Unmagi from the whims of the Magi as much as possible. It doesn't help this effort, however, that one of the Thralls has fully succumbed to Mephista's dark influence and creates new monsters to unleash upon Drachenvale...
So, anyone interested?

Thank you!
Also, Doctor Crocker? I get that reference. xD
Hehe, glad you got the reference!
“It’s all good, I’m pansexual,” he revealed, then smirked. “I love me a big skillet! Melt some butter, throw in some meat, things get nice and slippery. It’s great!” After the laughter subsided, Sully leaned in a little closer. “You’ll have to teach me how to surf some time!”
Sully locked eyes with Conner and grinned at the compliment. “Thanks! Figured I’d make Principal White shit-stain his old man whitey-tighties one more time before I left! That one’ll be haunting him for years!” When shaking his hand, he held it a bit longer than usual as he smiled. “Nice to meet you properly, Conner! I’ve seen you around school, it’s a shame we never hung out before! That’s a fantastic tan, by the way! At least from what I can see. I take it you’re a surfer guy?” He looked him over slightly, the grin never leaving his face.
Meanwhile, the holier-than-thou girl from earlier - who, for some reason, still joined everyone inside the club - was holding her phone up trying to get reception. Mr. Dude saw this from across the room and approached her.
“You’re wasting your time, my young friend,” he called out over the music as he flashed his big plastic teeth. “This entire plaza is designed to block cellular signals. Wouldn’t be very wise to have a secret party like this and allow cops to trace the GPS coordinates, now would it? Didn’t you notice you lost service back at the garage?”
“What if there is an emergency?!” she asked, suddenly alarmed. “I demand to leave right now. Let me out of here!”
“Of course, of course!” The masked partyman smiled. “No one is held here against their will! Security, see to it that she is… taken care of.” The two guards nodded and escorted her out of sight as the party continued.
Kamran made note of this from where he was sitting, still suspicious.

Oh, thanks!
Sooooo, where's the CS?
Under the Characters tab. Just hit quote, copy and paste into a word doc, and replace the info with that of your characters.
Looks good! I'm gonna save my next big post for after Lucky and Dragonfly do theirs, but we can do a few small back and forths in the meantime.
