So I got some time to kill and I like to get to know the people I'm playing with a bit more. And what better way to do that than to tell funny, and probably offensive, Army stories. Who wants to here aboiut a day in the life of a soldier and the crazy shit we get into?

Also just as a bit of a backstory on Axon. He was raised alone after being left as a baby in the woods. When he made it to town he was quick to make contacts given the myth he rides and the "different" nature to him. For those of you who were around the Bay, you may have heard a bit about him... and how he's lying... He's already got plenty of people who'd call him friend, some who'd even call him family since they sheltered him early on. He's even wearing some of the proof. Those swords of his are custom made by a very close blacksmith friend. Just a pointer for those of you who recognize his face.

Axon was waiting for a response when Quincy made his and his sadness and determination almost instantly turned to anger. In a sudden outburst he yelled at Quincy, "Yeah of course! It's my fault you attacked me. It's my fault you assumed I was evil! It's my fault you made Razeth angry trying to protect me. It's my fault you aimed an arrow at my head! It's my fault you made me respond in self-defense! This is exactly what I'm talking about! The hatred because of who we are! We're always the monsters, even when we're the victims!" His rant over he let his head fall and once more his was disheartened. Going back to Razeth he began stroking his snout to remind his brother that he wasn't really a monster, he was a good boy.

All during Axon's rant Razeth was backing him up, giving Quincy an mean glare and hissing at him. Now while nobody could read his mind, the one thought on it at the time was, "Racist Bastard." When Axon calmed down Razeth nuzzled his nose towards Axon to try and comfort him, even though Axon seemed as though he was trying to comfort him. Axon was the one who needed it more.

Axon was already watching Anara even before she snapped and as she tore through the air with her words of ice he slowly lost his fighting stance for one of a almost scared child. One leg back as though bracing himself against the tide of venom. Really she wasn't scary or her dragon, it was more the sense that she was like a mother to many of Cerael given her position and what she's done for the people of Cerael, to see her like this was what made it hurt.

Razeth wasn't so quick to bow his head as he felt that he could take the pair of them, but it would require something he didn't want to spend and as his mind touched Axon's passivly as they do he felt his sadness for angering her. Slowly he too brought his wings back into their folds and lowered his raised arms back to the ground. With all six limbs on the ground his tail also lowered and he walked over to Axon to which he brought his head down to nudge Axons cheek gently with his snout to comfort him.

Axon reached over and began to stroke Razeth's snout as he began to rumble with a dark and demonic, yet happy purr. It was then Axon decided to start talking, "We saw you leave. We uh... we were curious what was going on and nobody wants to be our friend since we're... we're..." He began to drone off as the Demon beside him closed his eyes feeling the pain his brother felt. It was then anybody could really see what they were. A savage man who never grew up in the 20 years he spent in the wild and a dragon who's mere essence told a story of evil and just what a monster he really was. They were rejects and freaks, no place among the rest of the world. "That's why we had to follow you... To prove we can be good too. Maybe then somebody will like us then." He finished, his voice breaking and sounding pained as though about to cry. Placing his head against Razeth's, closing his eyes to fully bridge the gap between their minds allowing them to comfort each other, reminding that they'd always have each other, no matter what. And somehow that gave them a little solace, enough to continue trying to prove to the everybody else that they are not monsters.

Snapping his eyes open and turning to face Anara and Inirath Axon spoke for the both of them, speaking what they were both thinking, "We won't go back. This is our chance and we won't give it up!"

No need to apologize. Really I should be the one apologizing for jumping the gun on the topic. Creativity and rolling with the punches is what sparks good roleplaying experiences!

Was this detail in any of the posts? Exactly like this? I assumed they were separated in some way, if only because of that licking scene.

@Mictlan93

Yeah in the same post as the Backstabber and the "boy" comment. It's the last sentence. To quote myself informally as I'm still learning this thing... " "Make way boy, I'm joining in on this!" With that he ran towards the two leaping and wrapping his arms around his dragon's neck, clinging on as Razeth lifted his head and Axon into the air, laughing all the way. "

Oh trust me I haven't forgotten, I merely gauge the man in melee range to be the bigger threat, especially when aimed at with a ranged weapon. Chance are he could roll and make it a 50/50 chance on who'd get hit. Razeth is more acknowledging the bowman... Growling, hissing, and threatening him with spikes, teeth, claws, and blades.

Hold up, changing my post. As much as I love the dagger trick, I don't feel that it's really... Axon... He's more devious than that... So uh... yeah... Forewarned and stuffs!

Axon was surprised to say the least as he was suddenly pinned against the trunk of a large tree by an angry rider with funny hair. Though he sure wasn't please about it, reaching up with his left hand to try and pry at the grip pinning him down, while the right seemed to brace himself against the tree. "What the Hell is your problem!" He shouted at the aggressive git, "I wasn't spying!"

Razeth sure wasn't going to take his brother being attacked and harassed, rearing up his upper arms raised, claws ready to rend any foe to shreds as the wings also spread to make the already big dragon look enormous. The limbs on the ground raked at the dirt with razored claws, ready to pounce in a moments notice. Behind the menacing beast his tail swished around revealing the malicious, bladed tail end, ready to snap back to slice and impale his foes. And to top it all off, his maw opens revealing hundreds of huge daggers that were his teeth as black smoke drifted from each corner of his mouth. Finally to show he meant business, an evil hiss escaped his jagged teeth, chilling the bones of any nearby.

Seeing his brother ready to back him up he continued to struggle physically while saying, "Let go of me before we kick your ass!" Thing is, he wasn't very strong as he struggled, so whatever ass kicking he threatened didn't seem all that probable from him. Razeth on the other hand looked like he could take on ten dragons all by himself with all that anger in his eyes.

About now Anara showed up and made her speech. Listening and looking at the irate Sarge he waited until her famous dragon made his appearance to make his move. Just as promised he made a sudden lash out, kicking Quincy straight between his legs with enough force to make any man watching flinch. Using the sudden shock of the blow he shifted his arm under Quincy's to toss him away and throw himself into a tumble to separate. Coming to his feet right after with the grace of a cat.

Few things I feel the need to point out. When Axon said "boy" that was aimed at his dragon, not your character. He'd be looking at Razeth and not Quincy. Not saying to retcon anything, just that's how it was intended. Thing is, perception is a beautiful thing, so maybe he did think it was meant to be aimed at him.

Second... Uh... Look I'm no fan of God-Modding, but I'd like to point out a few things. Axon was wrapped on teh raised neck of a dragon the size of a small house, so I doubt he could reach that high. And also I'd like to think I could at least have the chance to resist if he could lay hands on him. That being said, don't retcon anything as I can still operate and do a thing or two. Though I'd like to take an opportunity to redeem my man-handled character.

PS, some of you might recognize Axon and Razeth. They kind made teh local news when a boy in furs wandered out of the woods flanked by a dragon nobody has seen in ages. Sure you may have not heard of Axon, but Razeth's name and description was probably thrown around for awhile when he first showed up about a decade ago.

Axon's head sharply turns to face the human and his Drake companion only to hurriedly snap saying, "Fuck off! Can't you see I have enough problems already!" Though he can't help but sound kind of happy. Razeth always knew how to make him happy and well... their cover was blown so mind as well enjoy the situation.

When the Flitwit bounds off towards the Sea Drake, Razeth is quick to open his mouth a release his own more bassy chirps as he bounds after, keeping his head low to the ground as though ready to pounce on the small, feathery dragon. His fours arms digging into the soft ground as the wings on the back of each one flutter rapidly showing some kind of emotion, but given how his breed has never been seen before one can't say for certain what it means.

Axon meanwhile who was already precariously perched on Razeth's head to push away the Flitwit suddenly looses his balance and tumbles to the ground as Razeth bounds off. Standing up and dusting off his black leather armor and tilting his goggles up to his forehead, as well as lowing his face mask, he let's out another outburst, "Backstabber! Just going to leave me in the dirt?" He finished with a over blown gesture towards his dragon who clearly didn't seem to be paying attention. Axon had to admit though, that did look like fun... and dragon wrestling was one of his favorite games... Ah what the Hell. "Make way boy, I'm joining in on this!" With that he ran towards the two leaping and wrapping his arms around his dragon's neck, clinging on as Razeth lifted his head and Axon into the air, laughing all the way.
