One of my favourite things to do on this site is just refreshing the page and getting a new ad. Sometimes it's an NFT thing.

Most Recent Posts

Name:
Chrome

Race:
Human

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

She is 1.67 metres tall and has a slender figure.

Clothing/Armor:
N/A

Weapons:
N/A

Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral

Skills/Abilities:
She has great skill in hand-to-hand combat. Due to her unrestrained state and training, she possesses great speed that is on par with the swiftest wolves.
She also fights much like a beast.
Being raised by the Grey Dragons, she speaks the tongue of dragons. She cannot speak or understand human.
Her strength is highly peaked despite her figure, to the extent of enhanced jumps and powerful, concussive kicks and blows.
Her enhanced accuracy makes it easier to deflect or dodge far-range attacks than close-ranged ones. So she can dodge arrows, but a sword, lance and even a fist might be problem.
She has skill in swimming, and can hold her breath for longer periods than regular humans.
She knows how to improvise her environment, such as uprooting plants or tossing heavy rocks, to be improvised as weapons.
She knows her way around various herbs, allowing her to tend to any scars or wounds with the right stuff. This was how she dealt with all those first-time hunting attempts and the damage done to her, such as cuts, stings and poisons.

Magic:
She possesses a necklace with a single dragon tooth and two dragon scales. They could be passed off as the scales and teeth of something else, like, let's say, a fish and wolf. This necklace does its job as a protective charm.
If the user has the trust of dragons, such as befriending them or in this case, being their beloved child, they will be granted enhanced magic resistance and fire resistance. Of course, she isn't immune so blasting her with spells will still have effect.
The charm also grants enhanced strength to boost her already peak state, allowing her to uproot trees with moderate effort.

Backstory:
Chrome was, since young, raised by the Grey Dragons. She has never met her actual human parents. While they couldn't trust humans that much, they decided to raise this poor, abandoned one as a dragon, believing that the young ones were harmless in nature, and could be raised as a dragon instead of a human.

They were kind of strict, but they still cherished Chrome as their child and one of their own. And by one of their own I mean living life the dragon way.

When she was only 5 human years, the Grey Dragons taught her how to hunt for food in the wild, both flora and fauna alike, so that she could be independent at some point. Five human years was, after all, the age in which Grey Dragons taught their children how to hunt, how to fight, and how to be strong.

She learned how to hunt, starting from the basics with fishes, deer and finally larger prey and prey that even adult dragons could have a little difficulty with. These prey had all kinds of abilities, and some of these prey were creatures that most humans had never even heard of. She even learnt to fight the occasional human intruder who would dare come to the cliffs, in an effort to repel them. This gave rise to a certain tale about the 'Selkie', which some deemed kind of ridiculous. She was a fast learner and a great warrior. Her parents taught her everything they could so that she could defend herself, hunt prey and even fight humans.

One day, she was caring for an egg that her parents had laid in the outer areas of the cave while her parents were in the inner areas. A skilled magician had snuck in, and he had used some sort of 'binding magic' to restrain Chrome and prevent her from calling out for help. The magic was too strong to break out of the binds. This magician knew that he was no match for the Grey Dragons. It seemed that he used magic to sneak past the dragon's senses so that he wouldn't have to tackle them directly. With that, the magician decided to steal Chrome as a... you know... and take the egg she was caring for as a familiar to be trained from young. The magician then split himself into two, before putting Chrome and the egg in seperate cages on seperate pegasus-powered carriages*, travelling in opposite directions but ultimately heading for the same destination.

Halfway through the journey, Chrome finally broke free of the binds and ripped the wooden cage open, as the carriage flew off and she landed in the water. She knew that she had to find the egg - her brother - before it was too late.

With that, she began to swim until she found a port town - Waeldeshore - which had similiar scents to that magician. She believes that the magician lives here somewhere, and that the egg is here too. She now hides in the shadows, occasionally taking crops and such... But now, she must find the egg that her parents told her to care for.




*The pegasi were just the magician using magic on regular horses to grant them wings.
-Well, height was nice, but... Bust size was probably unnecessary. Actually, strike that. Completely unnecessary. Sorry if I'm being a bit rough here.
-I'd like an elaboration on the 'Ling' as a whole, if you would. Please. General appearance, lifespan, common characteristics, habitat, etc;.
-Personality, Skills, and History are all a tad... Well, lackluster, for lack of a better term. Could I ask you to flesh them out a bit, please?
-"...hurt as punch as a punch..." Can you... Rephrase this, please? I suspect this to be a common typing error, so no big deal. Would just like some clarification, please.

Aaand that's about all I have left in me for tonight before I get KOed by the ol' Sandman. I'll have a more in-depth look at these tomorrow (aka in approximately 8-10 hrs), so I guess... Take your time to edit?

Last second edit: And yes, hiders please.


Alright, now I just have to add the Hiders and expand on history and personality.

Yeah, I was adding Ling characteristics while you typed.
Ling are basically egg-bound beasts. Their egg shells comes in a variety of colours. They will mature both literally and metaphorically during their journey.
Sakura moves by hopping.

Name:
Miyamoto Sakura

Age(Prior):
15

Appearance (Former):

She was 1.67 metres tall

Appearance (Current):

She is a mere 0.3 metres tall in terms of height, twice as tall and proportionate in measurements to an ostrich egg. In terms of Ling maturity, she is still a child.

Race:
Ling

Personality:
Sakura is a very lonely young woman who just wants company. The one thing she fears most is utter neglect, which she has lived through a great deal of her life save for her Butler and Maid. She wants to stick to her friends and does not wish to part with them, for such situations will make her feel great fear.
She is socially awkward, and finds it difficult to initiate conversations. She will jitter if others try to converse with her.

Sakura has an extent of claustrophobia. Being trapped in a small space gives her the trauma of being locked in that room. Her will is most weak, and is easy to shatter if placed in a dangerous situation. Her low self esteem tends to restrict her from performing actions.

Skills:
Being a sheltered young lass, she has few to no skills beyond moral support.
She has previously taken dance lessons, and she can improvise these into her battle style. Generally, a rookie Ling can be rendered helpless by grasping it firmly with two hands and facing its crack away from you, until it struggles out eventually. However, she can actually spin herself out of such a situation, smacking the hands away.
She has basic self defense skills. Very basic. The one she tends to prefer is 'headbutt the stomach'. Using her diminuitive height, she jumps and bashes into an opponent's stomach.

History:
Miyamoto Sakura was born as the last child of the Miyamoto family, which was a wealthy family that had much authority and influence. You'd think she was some sort of princess, getting everything she wanted. Well, that was not entirely true, unfortunately for our young lady.

The Miyamoto family was successful and busy, which meant that Sakura was usually alone at home, accompanied by maids and butlers, the only 'friends' she really had. Her parents wanted her to be a successful person, much like her three older brothers, and not associate with 'lesser ones', in other words, middle class or poor people who couldn't make ends meet. Her father forbade her from speaking with boys apart from her family, for she already had an arranged marriage, prepared even before she was born into this world. The world for Sakura was lonely. It was cruel. It was brimmed by despair. She wanted to escape the wrath of being pulled by strings, being her parents' puppet for the rest of her life.

Barred from friends, destined to be violated by one she did not love, producing an heir for someone else. Was this her destiny?

Over the years, she had wanted to leave this very world. She tried to commit suicide, but each time, she was halted by her maids and butlers, and during that one time her parents found out, they locked her in the room for a few days.

Her maids and butlers reminded her that there was more to life than her bird cage. They assured her that some day, but not soon, she would be free. But when was this 'one day'? What if it never came?

It was just another bright night under the full moon as she fell asleep on her bed after following her daily, boring routine. What she didn't realise was that she was not being pulled into a dream, but something else. Was it a sign of freedom? That depends on how you define freedom.

Other:
Young Ling are naturally imbued with magic usage. However, this is limited to regular elemental spits of Water, Earth, Fire and Air that hurt as much as a punch, kick, or sword slash. These are instinctive, so if Sakura tries to hurl a punch on reflex, these will occur instead until she learns to control them. The 'usual' magic will have to be learnt and improvised.




Ling Trivia

Ling are a rather unique beast race with some extent of varied plumage. In their child stage, they remain in their sturdy shells because their limbs have not been fully developed, neither do they have their egg teeth, which are present in baby animals such as ducks and turtles, as a temporary structure to break out of the egg.

Their egg shells are coated with some sort of magic-like barrier. Until ready to fully hatch, they will be as unbreakable as steel. However, Ling still feel the pain phasing through these egg shells.
When ready to hatch, this magic barrier will be absorbed to be used as magical energy to break from the egg shell.

Ling are viewed as very odd and mysterious to other races. They're practically talking, living eggs in their eyes.

Once they do fully break out of their shells with their egg teeth, they will resemble one of these four varieties of Ling. Mature Ling are known as Jinling. Jinling are big in size, and even the smallest are large enough to use as mounts for a large human, while the larger Jinling might find rather mild trouble fitting through a human door. It should be noted that all four varieties are still the same species.


Red Jinling are skilled in fire magic. They are similiar to the 'Zhuque' of Chinese mythology. They have flight capabilities. They tend to be the ones with most hope and will. In Eastern lands, it is a belief that if one sees them flying across the skies, luck will be granted. However, people tend to be terrified should they come face-to-face with them.


White Jinling are skilled in metal-themed earth magic, as well as melee offense with their claws. They are similiar to 'Baihu' of Chinese mythology. They have vast speed and dexterity, as well as great sense of smell and sight, like the predators they are. They tend to be the ones with most bravery. They are said to be untamable beasts.


Black Jinling are skilled in water magic, as well as the art of defense and close-ranged attack. They are similiar to 'Xuanwu' of Chinese mythology. They cast attacks via their snake-like tails. They may be slow, but their defensive shell is near impenetrable. They tend to be the ones with most wisdom. While people are most astonished upon seeing these creatures, they do not see them as a threat.


Blue Jinling are skilled in the power of the air and some extent of nature-based earth magic. They are similiar to 'Qinglong' of Chinese mythology. They have flight capabilities They tend to be the balanced ones, a mix of bravery, wisdom and will. They are very mysterious in the eyes of other races.

There is one more kind which will be revealed later - the Golden Jinling, which is a rare occurrence with currently unrevealed conditions. The status of Golden Jinling is much like King Arthur and Excalibur - a Jinling must be worthy in order to reach this state. Despite its rare occurrence, they are neccesary to decide a worthy ruler.
The Jinling and Ling inhabit the Shenqi Canyons. You can see giant ochre or grey-hued rock-based pagodas around the area, and other forms of Chinese Architecture. It's basically feudal China, except the buildings are more spaced out. In the centre lies the gold-hued jewel-encrusted king's palace, which houses Emperor Huanglong, a Golden Jinling.

Jinling are a peaceful race, but they see many other races, including humans, as harbringers of war. However, they are understanding to some extent. If they see an abandoned human child, the kinder ones would adopt it and raise it. Even the crueller Jinling spare children and only harm grown adults should wrong be done.

In order for Ling to mature, these egg-bound juveniles must go on a journey to decide which of the four they will mature into, much like a carp to a dragon, or Pokemon evolution.

If a Ling stays in its child state for more than 25 years, they will die prematurely, and that happens 20% of the time, which in kind of a big chunk. From the time they abandon their shells until they mature into their Jinling states, they can live for potentially five hundred years, maybe take or give a few decades. Should a Jinling enter the phase of Golden Jinling, they will have a thousand more years of life, but will die a decade after another Golden Jinling is chosen.

Jinling will recognise a Ling even after they have metamorphosised into Jinling. This may not be the case for other races, unless they can identify things such as old traits from their time as egg-bound Ling.
REMOVED POST UNTIL APPROVAL
Thank you. I will start soon.

I will include racial information after my app is complete.
Are non-humanoid races allowed? How about oriental ones?

I have a unique race based off the four guardian beasts of China.

If you include Twilight it's 13.

Shall I create a poll external to this site?

@Chexmix
If others agree with your words, the poll will select the top 1, instead of the top two.
Well, we could make do with four instead of chooding from three, or I could pop this question:

Who doesn't mind getting spoiled on the later story?

Alright, I'll get on my comp and list the people.
3 it is.
That means two other spots to fill to ensure that the RP runs smooth.
