Thanks guys!
I still need to come up with two other dragons to complete my roster. I have few options that I could take however and my mind is circling with ideas.
Question: There is only allowed two Elder Council members throughout the RPG, correct? I believe Lmpkio has one, but I am not sure if the other is taken. Any extra information on this matter would be helpful.

Bio
Hey folks,
The name's Shawn and I'm twenty-three years old. I'm Portuguese from the Great White North and I've been roleplaying since I was seventeen or so. Making it around six years, give or take. I prefer a more casual style, but I've been known to put in the extra work for advanced level roleplaying when in the mood. Although I think for now I'm going to hang around the free section due to time constraints and other such reasons. Don't mind to add me on Skype (shawn.alexandre22) to talk and discuss roleplay! Make sure to state what your forum username is though!
I'm currently a manager at a local reptile store which I have been working for nearly a decade now and some of my interests include: Video games, comics, fantasy, the supernatural, art, paranormal, music, sports, outdoor activities, swimming, hunting, collecting knick-knacks, cooking, paleontology, zoology, reading and many other things. I live alone, but have two dogs and two cats, and various reptiles. I'm currently working on a large-scale original causal-advanced RPG known simply as: The World of Caelum.

Name: Balerion the Black Dread
Appearance: 
Balerion has a massive skull and is equipped with a bone-shattering bite. His teeth are large and thick, designed for crunching and pulling akin to those seen on crocodilians and theropods. He has a robust neck which is quite lengthy, allowing for rather great reach, but also power. Balerion is covered with near impenetrable scales, giving him vast protection from nearly all bladed instruments. His underside is extremely dense, more so towards his chest, stomach, and neck region due to these being the closest to his natural flame. His upper side on the other hand is covered in thick osteoderms and scutes, giving him an armoured hide. Balerion has truly gigantic sized wings that stretch nearly six hundred feet despite him only being three hundred feet long and one hundred feet tall in an upright position. The reasoning for his wingspan is the fact that he is a lot bulkier, more robust and a lot more muscular compared to most other dragons. Especially considering he weighs nearly two thousand tons. Despite his great size he can still move rather quick on land as he stands on two powerful, well muscled legs which are equipped with sharp talons. Although in the sky Balerion is rather slow due to his weight and his vast wingspan, but when he hits it feels as if an entire mountain collapsed atop of you. Lastly, Balerion has a long, thick tail. This tail helps Balerion balance himself while walking, helps steer him in the air, and helps him swim when needed.
Skills: The Black Dread, a name that sends shivers down the spines of all dragon kind. A name that has been known throughout the ages, but not for any reason. Oh no, Balerion earned his reputation. A reputation he earned through war and combat, and ultimately - skill. Balerion is well versed in numerous fighting styles and knows how to control the flow of a one-on-one duel. He knows what he is capable of and knows what he is not. He enjoys using his size to his advantage using varies body tackles and side slams. His tail is a deadly weapon, being both long and powerful. His talons are one of his most primary tools, but are usually used on smaller opponents or when he is fighting in the air. His number one weapon is of course his jaws. They are powerful and monstrous teeth are attached to them, able to do extreme amounts of damage with each bite. His wings can also be used as a tool to aid him in battle as well, able to slap or confuse an enemy. However, his most potent weapons is his natural flame. His chest works like a smelter with the ability to spew out incredibly hot fire. He has two flame types: the normal dragon fire which is a orange-to-red colour and a unique black fire. The black flame is nearly ten times as potent as the regular dragon fire, but it uses up a lot of Balerion's reserves. So, it is used not as frequent. Balerion also has the ability to spit out acid that originates in his gut. A powerful corrosive, the acid is able to eat away at stone, various metals, and flesh. Balerion also has a few defense abilities as well. Not only is his scales near impenetrable, but he can use smoke in unique ways. He could use it as a lesser weapon or increase it to turn the battle field into the darkest night. His favourite tactic is to use the deadly combination mixture of fire and the flapping of his wings to increase the range and deadliness of the flame spread. He is renown for this technique and it is one he has mastered.
Magic Abilities: None. Balerion has very little knowledge in terms of magic and prefers to keep it this way. He feels magic is a cowards way to battle their enemies and thinks close quarter combat is where the warrior spirit lies within.
Backstory: Balerion was once a respected and great leader of dragons during the First Age of Aiskore, where he fought along side Rylarth during the war against Corruption. With the ascension of his leader, Balerion was driven away from the course of good for Rylarth was the source of his inspiration, the source of his drive to fight against the evil that is Corruption. With him gone, Balerion moved into exile and called the Everlasting Plains his home, which would later be renamed the Scorching Plains due to Balerion's 'home improvements.' As the years go by and with the Order of the Black Rose growing in influence among the world, Balerion would eventually be reached out. He did not wish to join their cause, but instead decided to work along side them as allies or at least have some form of mutual agreement. Balerion is usually called upon when the Order needs to get something done right. Balerion is paid well, gains protection, peace, and free will while the Order gains power across the land. Its a win-win situation for both parties, but not for Aiskore...
There is an old saying among the elder dragons of Aiskore regarding Balerion and it goes like this:
'It is best to take leave once the sound of hurricanes and the spewing of black fire approaches... for Dread shall not be far behind...'
Holdings/Current Location: The Scorching Plains
Allegiance: Independent. Order of the Black Rose
Personality: Balerion can be described as complete psychopathic monster, but affably evil due to more sympathetic traits. He will kill anyone who enters his path or need to move on, he has no qualms to sacrifice even innocent mortals to reach his goals. Balerion is not someone to hold a grudge with. Balerion is both cunning and ruthless. He is intelligent and patient, always waiting for the perfect moment to strike instead of rushing in blindly to possible unaware and unseen dangers. Once a target is locked within his jaws or trapped around a ring of his infamous black fire... all hope is lost.
In honor of Rylarth.

In honor of Rylarth.Great to hear! I just wish to confirm from what I gathered from a secondary source: The limit to the number of characters is limited to three, correct?
EDIT: Posted my first character sheet. I'm sure they are errors, mistakes, and what not. So, please tell me where the concern lies and I shall happily edit and/or change it. Any questions, please ask away!
Thanks for the welcome, @Kirra. Indeed, not challenging at all it seems. I already have plans on joining a few RPGs (and have shown my interest in them) and currently working on a few character sheets as we speak! I feel I am going to enjoy my stay here and I plan on staying for the long haul.
Ah ha! Found it at last. You know very well I shall be joining this RPG, Black Death. Who could pull off the infamous drunkard and 'ladies man' known as Bors better than I, hm? Ha-ha.
A roleplay about one of my favourite games of all time? Great! I hope its still open since I would love to join! I have a couple of characters in mind and even original side-storylines if they are allowed. I am huge Elder Scrolls junkie and I have played Morrowwind, Oblivion, and of course Skyrim.
Also, thanks to Black Death for telling me about this RPG. Wouldn't have located it without his advice to join. I should have profiles completed within the next couple of days or so. Although I would most likely have a couple of questions since I will most likely be trying to establish my in-game characters into the RPG (with edits, of course).
Anyways, this should be a lot of fun!

Sounds good.
I'm glad that I decided to speak up on the matter. I hope others, not only myself, will benefit from this change.

I am well acquainted with trolls and the like, first hand experience when I was a Global Moderator on a small scale, roleplaying site. I completely understand now why topics of certain sub-forums are being locked, and I agree of the outcome now that I now what occured. Thanks for telling me the situation in detail, highly appreciate the response.
And no problem and thanks for the suggestions.
I see why not having such an option wouldn't be useful for some, and I am more than sure I am not the only who may have had something to add to a locked topic. I guess I am simply the only one to be vocal about it.
Again, thanks for the detailed response!
Thanks to Lmpkio for poking my interest in this RPG. I'm assuming its safe for me to join, yes? I have a few characters that I wish to create, but trying to figure out only three will prove challenging. Ha-ha. (Coming from someone who is used to having a dozen plus characters at a time.) But, I digress. I should have their profiles up within the next couple of days as I get more comfortable with the site.
Ah, great. Would I be allowed to use past characters and storylines? I'm assuming yes, but I want to make sure.
