@Pineappletumble so far so good, i like how you narate :) can't say i've seen anything that caught my untrained critique eye :)) haven't seen how you handle dialogues, but you're doing well :) someone more experience might see more tho :)
@Rai also if you have time to look over my/our posts, at least for me, let me know if i'm doing something wrong, like too much/little talking, controlling stuff that i shouldn't too much, repeating a certain word/s too much and so on, stuff like that :)
that goes for everyone if they notice anything for me, please let me know :) i want to improve but not sure where, so yeah feedback whenever you feel like it ^.^
@Ashevelendar was not exactly your outcome but...close? maybe, but i think either you or your IG char misunderstood the guard situation (not sure which), that being said, Kuvira's team wouldn't have responded like that, sorry, but yeah that's how I would've seen it, if you think something should be changed about the interaction, let me know, if not i put the "let's meet tomorrow to discuss the events" for a second chance at doing what you would've liked maybe...also could you please remove/change/edit the last 3 lines where my guards speak if that is ok with you?
@Pineappletumble did it like that because i was not sure wether Ashevelendar missunderstood the guard situation or not (what Rupal said as well), but as i said, we could meet the next day to talk about what you wanted to say, if that's ok with you
Walking through the streets of Sunfire, with Kuvira and Urukeh in front talking about future plans and the two drunken members of the squad, IInua and Krox in the back wobbling and talking somewhat nonsense but feeling a tad bit clearer than before, after about 10 minutes, the two in front heard a racket a little ways back followed by the sound of a vessel shattering. When they looked over to see what's happening, they saw Krox lying down unconscious next to a rather destroyed stall, facing a giant mountain of a man who's looking hostile towards the drunk while holding the handle of a broken vase. At the same time, Iinua is struggling to talk to this fellow, but having a hard time with it.
Kuvira and Urukeh make their way to the scene in haste. "Wh-wh-whoddya thank you are? Attakin ma friend like dat? It wuz an honest mistake you big brute..." tried Iinua to argue with the big man not sure how to approach the situation, meanwhile the other two guards managed to arrive at the commotion. "HEY! What's the meaning of this!? Why did you attack my comrade?!" snapped Kuvira at Oron shortening the distance between them slowly but not before being stopped by Urukeh's hand.
Without breaking eye contact with the big man, who's being titled the stall merchant's guard, responds with a slow sharp tone "My apologies, for my fellow soldier, here! It was, a mistake, what happened, our, mistake, we should have kept a better eye on him...them..." taking a second to look at Iinua and the unconscious Krox shifting his gaze to the merchant, throwing a short glance at her "guard" now and then, "We are not from here, we do not, serve the Vrondi military, but, we will, pay, for the damages done to the stall, I, will make sure, the payment IS, fulfilled, personally, tomorrow morning, here, you have my word! Now, excuse us, I think we had enough "walking", for today, we shall return to our quarters, good night, see you tomorrow, to resolve this."
Turning over to Kuvira, Urukeh says in a low voice, "Please help me with this fool, we need to get him back to his room, also let's keep an eye on Iinua as well, we do not want or need more trouble..", Kuvira nods and then both proceed to extract Krox from the broken stall, Kuvira looking angrily at the merchants guard, who's actions she does not agree with. Right before they left, Urukeh turned one more time to the big man and with the same tone he said, "Also, you should learn, how to control, your reactions better, that way of acting, could get you, in a lot of trouble...good luck.", returning to the task at hand of taking Krox and Iinua back.
"Urukeh, why did you let that brute get away so easily?..." asked Kuvira frustrated and a bit dissapointed, "We could have taking him!" continuing to carry Krox on her shoulder. "Aye, we could have, but I'm sure you can agree with me that he would have done a number on us as well, you've seen his stance, his body, he's an experienced fighter. There was no need for a fight for this fools stupidity. Don't worry, the money will go from his paycheck." Sighing, Kuvira let the topic go for now and continued carrying "Friggin Krox..."
On the way to their quarters, a stammering voice could be heard from behind, "E-excuse me-e!", the guards stopped and a young lad appeared before them, proceeding to ask questions about questions about the curfew.
Urukeh answered, "I'm sorry sir, we are not from here, we just arrived today, we are tired and had enough troubles for today thanks to our friend here", then takes another short sharp look at Krox. "Maybe meet with us tomorrow in the market are. We will meet with a merchant there. They might have more information about it, having been longer around these parts, a good night to you", then went on their way before anything else could be said.
~ Alone we are strong... together we are STRONGER! ~
Really couldn't find a better one but this will do
Age: 25 Species: Descendant Blood: 80% oro 20% tyro Gender: Female Sex Preference: Bisexual Height: 5'7 Weight: 200 Occupation: Ex-mercenary, now special OP's in the Gaia military force Faction: N / A Vehicle: N / A Adv. App.: N / A Physical appearance
Having the oro blood coursing through her veins and being a mountain born, Kuvira attained quite a packed build. Weighing in around 180lbs at 5'7, she's considered to have the healthiest of physiques. Under her armor, her body is protected by a thick bone-rocky exoskeleton which she can harden and soften at will. Beautiful, sturdy, black metal dense horns protrude from the temple region, beneath her short yet rugged blue-grayish hair.
Her wings are broad and well protected but at the cost of weight and speed. Bony in its exterior skeletal structure and unified by thick, double layered, leather like membrane but most of the time Kuvira keeps them folded on her back to act as a shield not being able to use them.
Do not let her fair facial features fool you because her sparse but strong in essence tyro blood is what defines Kuvira's character, shown through her blazing gaze and fiery thick hot blood, almost as if it was lava.
Apparel
Kuvira wears the standard Dragoon gear. She also wears a rune engraved stone necklace, cube shaped. It's used to harness and focus air and earth elemental energy for a better manipulation of it.
Personality
Kuvira is a very goal oriented person. She sets something in her mind and goes for it, doing what she can to achieve said goal, but follows the path of The end does NOT justify the means. She loves combat but will not go out of her way to create it, but her interest in fighting made her dedicate herself to train a lot in the arts of weaponry and martial arts.
She does not like being looked down upon, but if she knows her places, with effort, she can keep her mouth shut, which is not the easiest thing for a hot headed warrior like her. She's not the most tactical person but knows her way around the land.
She also has a soft side but ONLY for a few things such as her homeland, mother nature and her companion Ryko.
Her "free-time" activities consist of stargazing, meditating in natural secluded places and earth sculpting.
Pet Friend
Name - Ryko Height - 1 big horses Weight - 2 horses Length - 2 horses Age - young Sex - male Personality - protective, stubborn, easily hostile towards others Dragon sounds:
Equipment - N / A Abilities/Powers- Fog breath (self explanatory), AIRodynamics: manipulates the air around it for nimbleness.
Experience and expertise
After years of training in a mercenary company, Kuvira became an expert at wielding a wide variety of melee weapons and primitive ranged weapons, her chosen main weapon being the bladed staff which is a pole with glaive like blades at each end. She's also a very good martial artist, having been a champion in a local arena organised by the mercenary band. Her "score" being of 200 fights won and 10 lost, those who won against her becoming her teachers eventually.
She eventually left the company, and decided to join a more "noble" cause, the military forces of Gaia, wishing for a more protective role in the lands. There, she continued training having chosen to become a Dragoon.
To achieve her goals of becoming a better warrior, she eventually decided she needed to learn how to wield magic as well. Being born with the oro blood, she was blessed with air and earth elemental affinity. The most she can do as of now is manipulate earth/gravel and air to some degree, nothing too fancy or too powerful, but enough to aid her if necessary.
Spells
Rocky Winds: Kuvira manipulates and conjures air from one blade and earth from the other blade of her staff, thus giving her the ability to send air-slashes/waves and rock projectiles from her weapon, this being her only ranged ability.
Abilities/Powers
1. Bleed resistance
2. Rock hard hide, claws & dragon wings: Kuvira can also control the thickness and resistance of her exoskeleton at will, at full capacity, her body - except for soft regions like the eyes or mouth - literally becomes stone for a certain period of time (around 10-15 minutes) and can sustain a few gun/rifle shots in succession before it starts to break down.
3. Strength Boost: Her body is also like a mountain, both in strength and resistance. Her muscles force is enough to break boulders with bare fists (it can hurt).
Weapons: A bladed staff, made specially for her by a friend in the company she worked for, who was a dragonkin blacksmith enchanter. The blade was named The Twinsons, one blade is infused with air elemental energy and the other with earth elemental energy.
History
Kuvira's origins are a mystery to her. All she knows is that she's been born in Gaia, Pearl, having lived with her mother and step father until she was the age of 7. She doesn't know anything about her true father, but it was never something that interested her, except for the fact that she considers him a shitty parent for leaving them without anything. All she knows from her step dad is that her real father is a REAL important and strong figure and if the moment of them meeting ever comes, she will probably feel something.
Having a fighters spirit from a young age, she wanted more from life than just being a farmer/innkeeper. One day, she decided to take her fate into her own hands and travel to the outskirts of the capital of Gaia, where a company of mercenaries had been established a few years ago (officially recognized by the capital's authorities) and joined them. For the next 15 years, she's been training constantly from fighting arenas to being thought martial arts and weapon mastery by the ones who defeated her in combat and agreed to share her their knowledge. She's also done a variety of tasks and missions for them, ranging anywhere between protection missions of both people and beasts, raids on bandit camps, extractions, bounties to the more illegal tasks such as neutralizations, blackmailing, exterminations and so on. Being a dedicate individual, her prestige rose up at a fast pace, gaining the recognition of most of her peers.
During one neutralization raid on a camp of dragon poachers, she and a team of 5, infiltrated the site during the night stealthily taking out half of the camp's population before an all out battle took place. The fight took a while due to the amount of poachers, but in the end they were no fighters just mere hunters and didn't stand a chance against the experienced warriors the guild had, that being said one member of the team didn't make it out alive, Kuvira being the one to bury him where he fell. After a quick burial, when she raised her head she noticed in the corner of the camp, 2 beady eyes staring at her, when she approached, she stumbled upon a family of 5 dragons. Unfortunately, 4 out of the 5 were brutally killed, 1 bigger dragon and 3 hatchlings, only one being left alive and heavily chained to the ground. The dragon was terrified and raging due to her closing the distance between them, pulling and "roaring", appearing very aggressive. Kuvira gazed a bit unoticeably disturbed by the sight, eventually closing even more on the young dragon. "You've been through some nasty hardships little one...but DO NOT let them take you down, TAKE your life into your own hands, become stronger...become harder, protect those you care about and never let something like this ever happen again". After her short speech, not sure if it understood any of it, Kuvira destroyed the chains that was bounding the hatchling to the ground, setting it free then returning to her team without looking back. The dragon immediately soared through the air, trying to get as far away from it's prison as possible, stopping once to stare wondering at Kuvira's back one, more, time.
In the following missions, the dragon made its appearance regularly, aiding Kuvira if needed but mostly observing her and her actions, but she never thought too much about it.
At the age of 22, Kuvira decided she needs a change in her life, from all these missions, seeing how unforgivable the world can be, she chose to join the military forces of Gaia. Due to her fighting prowess and weapon expertise, she was easily accepted. During the next 3 years she served as a low-rank soldier, making her way up in the ranks.
Yesterday was her first day as a freshly promoted Dragoon. She was summoned at the "Nursery" to pick herself a dragon egg for her to hatch and tame as a Dragoon should. Kuvira decided not to pick any egg yet, instead she went to the outskirts of the capital, to a place where the white dragon that always followed her usually appeared. After 1 day of search, the dragon revealed itself to her where she presented a medium-sized dragbbit (equivalent of rabbit in this dragony world) as an offering in hopes of getting the dragons attention. The dragon, hungry as it was, accepted the food and for the first time in years, trustfully approached Kuvira, experiencing their first bonding moment with each other through a long caressing pet. "I don't know if you understand me...but, yeah...I know you still dislike my kind and it's understandable, but I need your help. I need a friend..no, a companion, and I want it to be YOU. What do you say?" The dragon gazed into Kuvira's determined but hopeful eyes then slowly started to elevate into the sky, leaving her wondering alone what that meant. She took it as a refusal and returned to her quarters.
The next day, she went back to the "Nursery" to finally pick an egg to be her companion. Moments before the decision, a sudden roar was heard from above Kuvira's head, when she raised her glance, the white dragon was parked on the building's roof, inspecting Kuvira and the area they are in. Kuvira smirked happily and told her superior about her companion choice, who she eventually named Ryko.
Trivia: - She became a local champion in the arenas organized by the guild with a score of 200.W-10.L; - She's a bastard child of King Magnix Hanoxx but doesn't know that;
