Nyxie Styx! I'm so glad you're here! We all thought you were kidnapped by Turkish smugglers!
........Soul?
Soul!
Fo' shiggle ma niggle, you're playing Steamy tricks on us again. Oh, the Turks are delightful, but their nabbing skills, not so.

You're just in time! Everyone's dead!
Witty! :D
LOL surviving is for milk-drinking, Imperial pansies! Zangief crush logic between thighs like sparrow's egg.

NYXIE STICKS!We missed you so hard. ;_;Also, get to catchin' up. THUR BE SAD SHIT AND I FEED ON YOUR TEARS.I mean, the finest of all screen plays. Ho hum.
I MISSED EVERYONE ALSO <3 (heart of steal)
Ho-shit, you weren't kidding. Much read. Time to exhume Thyra and get Jesse Ventura in this biznitch.
Wandered, got lost, got drunk, and lost, but the crash could never dampen this warrior's spirit. Which is vodka. Oh my god, I am so INSANELY HAPPY TO SEE THIS THREAD AGAIN.
YOU'RE ALL HERE! 
Ahh Genzoman! He has a talent for drawing women, although, sadly, the same considerations do not extend to the wardrobe department, lol. If it's a problem, you could always crop the image so that it centres more around her face. My avatar pic' (not the unicorn a.k.a answer to Life), which happens to be one of his drawings, needed similar treatment. Reeeeally needed it. Makes yours look fit for a convent, is how much it needed it.
OMG UNICORNS.
wat is life?
wat is life?
Managed to steal an hour or two - drawing up a post now.
Hurraaaay!! Thanks for taking the time to review it, soul :)
Myyt, your character concept is fantastic - a ferocious tribal warrior who embodies the struggle and constant proving against nature's elements, which most associate with living in that sort of society. I would be seriously let down to see him go. As our fellows have already pointed out, to fit in with overall setting, all he needs is a little realignment so that his parameters meet the levels and standards set out by this story. The way I've interpreted it, for the intentions of how this will progress, our relationship with magic is supplementary to the bond between tamer and dragon. Their reintroduction will play heavily into how magically adept we become, as their presence permeates the sphere of mysticism, revealing to us this new world of understanding. Yours could perhaps be more sensitive to this change than most, coming from a background that closely observes and reveres the ways of nature. Perhaps he finds enlightenment - the reasons to those riddles he was initially blamed for. Purely my own take on this, how you go about it will undoubtedly satisfy our GM's judgement ^^
Serpentine, your gal is gorrrgeous! I mean that in the sense of how you've written for her; each trait is well crafted and suited to her background. Yes, they do have a few similarities, and I cannot wait to see how they both interact :D
LMAO at 'embarrassing diseases'!! Erranruin you cheeky thing. It is only natural to assume that, but I can assure you, and everybody else, that Cairene is ca-lean, lol.
It'll take me another day or so to get a IC post out. My schedule usually blacks out the weekends due to work and other unfun stuff :/

Keen to see if this CS gets the thumbs up or down. Already, I can see a few things I want to tweak O_O *eyetwitch* lol
Thank you for your patience, soul! The only time I can find to write, at the moment, is when I should be sleeping. Please let me know of any errors and the like, because this is bound to have a few T__T And for the record, you are a fantastic GM! From the get-go, it was easy to feel that this was one to follow for the ages - however long that may be. By seeing how well written and thought-out the dragon profiles are, which are fine accompaniments to this amazing story, I am assured that the time and effort invested into this will be rewarded tenfold. Oh, and I may request to add another skillability to this profile. Still debating whether or not it's necessary... Anyway, here's our application:
Name: Cairene Maja
Age: 24
Appearance:
Personality:
From the outset, her elegant air and extravagant mannerisms highlight an obvious appreciation for beauty. But while her perspectives are aesthetic by default, they are more a superficial product of something deeper; an intrinsic tendency to seek out the better qualities in people; optimism veiled by vanity. Being as passionate as she is, the fine line between feisty and outspoken is often danced upon, with every emotion mapped out clearly on her face and form. When it comes to communicating her thoughts, however, she prefers to be coy. Dishonesty is abhorrent in her eyes. She conversates comfortably with strangers, allies and enemies alike, and finds it easy to read into people’s moods. Even though she maintains that she is staunchly independent, she does enjoy the company of others. Although, this is initially for the entertainment value, rather than true fellowship. For an adventurous free-spirit, she is surprisingly resolute, dedicating everything in her being to a cause if it agreed with her strong opinions. Cairene could be a warm and friendly person, if her sardonic laughter wasn’t almost always accompanied by an attempt to insult, rather than charm.
Backstory:
Whether it was the constant boredom that drove her, or the early tellings of a confident mind, as a child, Cairene was always getting up to mischief. Her feats were far from destructive, but she was a bane on her carers, nonetheless. If a cordoned area was found to have a door or window unlocked, and the dust on its floors disturbed, she was the usual suspect. Numerous times, staff or villagers searching for missing valuables sought out her known stockpiles before approaching the authorities. She left the orphanage as a haughty teen with a terrible reputation, narrowing her options to only two of the usual five. Being sound of body, she qualified for the jewel mines in the neighbouring valley, where the rocky outcroppings where hard to tell apart from the roaring surf and perpetual storms. In a show of premature grandeur, Cairene turned her nose up at the thought of hard labour, and selected the other, ‘softer’ approach.
Regrets swarmed in by the dozen, and she was soon yearning for the damp caverns and razor-toothed caverns, having found more and more reasons to loathe men. She lived where she worked, in a poorly managed establishment renown for its lax approach to law enforcement, and morality overall. For three years, she tended to the whims and fancies of humanity’s underbelly, revisiting her old habits and gaining back some of her childhood notoriety. Cairene had learned that the stronger her influence was, the easier it became to pickpocket and steal from a client. When at last she had coveted enough gold and trinkets, she bribed her way onto a merchant ship and sailed towards a new lifestyle. For the next couple of years, she would grow to become an infamous thief, evading capture thanks to her careful target selections and strategy. Coincidentally, shortly after the reporting of a major theft, a substantial donation would find its way to the nearest chapel.
Skills/Abilities:
Chameleon - Cairene is a master of disguises, capable of altering her appearance in accordance with a particular role; adopting personality or cultural traits to blend into surroundings, or further enhance her physical guise. She can also apply these talents to hide herself using the surrounding terrain, camouflaging her person and dwelling so that they mimic aspects of it.
Attunement - Sensitive to more wavelengths of sound than the average human, enabling her to detect movements; deduce its source and proximity to her. It allows her to more effectively control and mask the sounds of her own body; essentially, a tool for stealth.
Diamond heart - For short periods of time, the skeletal cage surrounding her vital organs expands and hardens, forming a protective case. It can only withstand so many attacks before the bone-matter weakens and ultimately retracts into its original state. Her overall bone strength improves, as well, reducing the chances of breakage. There is a time limit moderating its duration and the periods needed between to recharge. Her pain threshold is raised, and although this is a secondary effect, it is the main reason she uses this skill.
Twin daggers - In melee combat, she dual-wields these effectively to swiftly strike, stab and slash at an opponent. They are also her ideal weapon when moving stealthily to dispose of or disable the enemy. Her movements show glimpses of her time as a dancer; they are harmonic, fluent and agile; geared for offense and evasion.
