* * * * Intro
-/ I initially had a roleplay structure all typed up but I decided to go a different route and move things here ^^"
Maybe less Power Ranger-y?
I have the vague notion of writing something involving shapeshifting dragons...
- Elemental dragons in a world kind of like ATLA? With sub-species like storm & shadow...
I'm still stuck on the guardian thing. Maybe they'll all have this Special Thing that each element owns & it gets stolen or destroyed...thus war and adventure?
- I'm not good at worldbuilding but hopefully I can get the basics down...
* * * * Dragons
Heavenly Dragons, Light - Storm
- Air
- Electricity
- Fire
Earthen Dragons, Dark - Volcanic?
- Water : Ice
- Earth (Plant Life) : Potions? Regeneration?
- Cave (Rocks,etc) : Minerals
* * * * Adding
>Need subsidiaries for Sky! Like what's an offshoot of fire if not lightning? Or air for that matter? More research is in order!
>I probably need to add more elements and come up with better names for them...?
>When Foci are stolen, the races blame each other? The royalty? Hm
>Perhaps earth dragons are tyrannical and sky dragons are remote?
>What are the subtle differences between western and eastern dragons?
>Perhaps each dragon's home is dependent on their Foci, and maybe the younger dragons are protesting that archaic system because reliance has made them weak?
>Language needs name
* * * * Basics
>All dragon races have something that is a crystallization of their element and is the source of their magic: called Foci
>Races are human, dragon, orc, giant, and theriault. This represents the current continent, not the entire world
>Kingdoms/countries for dragons are basic; i.e mountainous range for sky dragons, cavernous terrain for cave dragons, forests for earth dragons
>The imugi are cousins to some Asian dragons while wyverns are the more animalistic cousins of western dragons
>Eastern and western dragons originated from the same continent but spread out and adapted in different ways
>Eastern dragons are known to be reclusive and conformist while their western counterparts are more free-thinking and adventurous
>Six central dragon protagonists
>Allowing one elemental dragon and one side character of another race
>Regarding currency: gems are more common amongst dragons but not an infinite resource- so kind of like we go up from cents to dollars, the 'lesser' money will be metal coins and the higher- like 50-500 will be common gems. So it's a mixture; the common gems will be different from typical gemstones/crystals, that way there are Jade and diamonds, for example, which are more expensive and actually special, and then the common gem which is actually a mix of metal and crystal.
This is also why cave dragons are typically more wealthy! They have a monopoly on the economy, although there are of course laws in place to keep things as fair as possible.
>Gem currency is zirconia and coin currency are rhines.
>While rare, some humans possess magic of their own. The element is generally reliant on the dragons that live nearest them

* * * * Character Building>Royalty (I just think he's neat <3) >Just here for the vibe check >NaΓ―ve and seems genuinely baffled by everything >Trying his best >Himbo that's it that's the tweet>Leader of bandits or disgraced soldiers. Or bounty hunters? >Fire or Air dragon >Wings are badly torn; he can no longer fly >Hired for the quest but doesn't actually care about the money >Loud. >it's a surprise tool that will help us later ; 3 >Info >Info - - - Human FC(don't tend to use these because it feels weird to 'claim' a real person's face buut- i'll share No.1's face at any opportunity tiktok boy I love yo- ) x x . Kitae Mireu >Kangcheori Imugi >Chivalrous, Levelheaded, Hedonistic >Likely of noble blood and is a hermit as is his people's custom >Doesn't have draconic magic and so is not personally affected by current events >Would prefer to sleep for at least a century but is dragged into the mess half asleep >Tired Dad. In modern times would unironically wear a shirt that says | D EAD INSIDE | >Would say " I will hesitate bitch " and then stab you immediately |

- The World As It Is Known -
>Most animals will be prehistorically sized to match their largest predators: like a hawk big enough to ride on, as an example.
>Dragons may be the dominating race, but they have resistance in the form of orcs and the more intelligent giants.
>The kemonomimi race are called theriault or therians plural.
>Some therians are capable of shifting fully into their animal form.
>Mixing between races is generally frowned upon but not uncommon.
- Dragonology -
>Regarding dragon appearances: color will definitely be a facet, but not based on element, it'd be for the best adaptation. Like, earth dragons can be mottled with brown, green, gray- basically camo patterns to help them hunt in forests. Eastern earth dragons can have stripes instead, because they're in bamboo forests & the like! Lightning dragons would have large spines on their backs that can be raised or laid flat; helping them conduct electricity.
>And then of course, western dragons would look like the ones from Eragon and eastern ones are of the expected serpentine kind, but with wings depending on element.
>Eastern water dragons live in an underwater cave while western water dragons live on a suspended city of rivers.
>The eastern dragons have more intelligent people but western dragons have more creative ones. Of course there's crossover, but this is their average. Eastern dragons may be so steeped in culture that they can't think outside the box but western dragons represent the purveyance of culture in that they have a much larger effect on the world.
>Regarding relationships: Cave dragons of both races could get along better and live in the same area since a city within mountains is already remote enough for the eastern dragons.
>Some elements have internal fighting for the sources of power. For example, using the water dragons, the western dragons have the power source so their city thrives more. Wherein the eastern ones don't have it so they're forced to live in an underwater cave instead of the aboveground city.

Hello hello! Thank you for the interest~! I actually got the idea for it after watching Zhongli's trailer fifty+ times ;;-;;
H-he's gonna come home eventually. I just...just need to spend more money so he knows that I can fund his expensive lifestyle..!

Ajkdhfjahf MOOD. I'm saving up for him right now T-T I did a 10x roll and only got Razor. Who's your main team so far?
Also, what do you wanna work on for the RP :0

Post by endingfairy on Dec 6, 2020 21:26:30 GMT -5
I did two 10x roll and got zilch TT
I don't really have a main? I'm still new so I just use whoever haha. I have Diona and Fischl but I barely use them because I'm historically bad with archers in all games ^^"
*I put what I'm currently working on in the first post~ I'm still trying to decide on elements: where they stand, what they're called, if I'll keep the current setup.
*Kingdoms/countries are a lesser problem. They can be rather basic following the Warrior cat way of dividing things; i.e mountainous range for sky dragons, cavernous terrain for cave dragons, forests for soft earth dragons.
*There are also races to consider but I'm not doing anything too special with them either. I do need to decide if Dragons will be dominant and revered/feared or live in inaccessible places and keep to themselves.

Nice! I generally stick to using the MC, Fischl, Kaeya, and Diluc just cause it's a pain the butt to level up more of them haha I should have taken advantage of the meteor event more.
From what i've read so far, I like your idea of having main elements, then splitting into sub abilities. For simplicities sake you could always use the old fashioned 'earth, water, fire, sky' and split off from there. But I also like the system you're using now ^^
Making cities for the humanoid dragons could be really fun! It would be very cool to play around with each of their abilities, and making the city that fits each type of dragon best.
As for species, I'd guess it would depend on if you only want people RPing dragons. Like, having different species would be fun, but it would also require a lot more planning and world building. Not that that's a bad thing of course ^^ It would definitely be fun to see how other species would react to an all out war between dragons haha.

I always use the MC and now I'm using Beidou more~
Ooh lucky! I need a fire character but Diluc ironically gave me the cold shoulder ;;;
I couldn't even finish the meteor event 'cause I'm so weak haha I also have no idea how to reach outer islands?
I could make things easy for myself- and yet...oh you're right about the other races thing! I'll have to consider that more! Part of the reason I was considering adding them is to highlight the difference between dragons and 'mortals' & showing how their actions can have a ripple effect...Again, kinda based on Genshin Impact and the archons!
Oh, I can give you full control over that~ It's fun to worldbuild but I'm not the best at it, haha ^^" I do have ideas for the various cities though! Including names~ Just need to dig them up...
I'll be periodically updating the first 'info' post so don't forget to check it every now and again as we puzzle things out~

Post by ππππππππππππ on Dec 6, 2020 21:54:39 GMT -5
Oof, getting to that island was a pain. I think some people froze their way out to it, but I had plenty of stamina so I just glided out to it with the help of some stamina replenishing food :0
Speaking of the other races, would their roll end up being intertwined a lot with the dragons. Like, would they be forced into helping figure out what's going on because the dragons are threatening their own cities? It could be fun to have a few dragons who aren't as 'all powerful with a god complex' interact with them and get their help.

Post by endingfairy on Dec 6, 2020 21:59:01 GMT -5
Oh, that's a good idea! I tried but my ice didn't stay frozen long enough ^^"
Oh, exactly what I'm trying to figure out! Do the dragons have a monopoly over their lives, or is it just an isolated problem? The more I think about it, I'm considering dividing the dragons into two camps: those who naturally lord over the weak and those who either don't care or are benevolent...what do you think~?

And because I really want to use YeBai realistically, there'll also be a divide between western and eastern dragons. I'm just not sure how to slice it. Earth and sky? Or will there be mixing where both western and eastern dragons can share an element but just be from different countries? Maybe that can be part of their history! They all came from the same place but spread out and adapted differently, like humans~?

Post by ππππππππππππ on Dec 6, 2020 22:07:39 GMT -5
I think you can expand the reach of the ice with the vortex palm thing the MC does. But I was lazy and never tested it akslfjaskd
Ooo, having two different types of dragons is a good idea! If we really wanted to go full avatar, you could say that a certain elemental group/group of dragons rules over specific races. Other groups of dragons could be full hermits, or maybe some could actually interact with the other races and have a friendly relationship with them.
I really like the idea of there being two main breeds of dragons. Maybe that will further divide the groups, even if they share similar elements. Like, for example, the western earth dragons have a friendly relationship with other races while the eastern earth dragons tend to avoid them and stick to their own devices?

Also, feel free to share any initial ideas for your character and I'll add them to the post with mine~ There's no limit for you, so you can be royalty or rare or whatever you'd like~ If this is a small group ordeal, I'm considering allowing characters to have up to two different elements because ~ Protagonist Perks ~

Post by endingfairy on Dec 6, 2020 22:12:19 GMT -5
Ooh I should try that!
And that's a great idea! It'd totally make sense realistically too, as the mythology behind eastern dragons is that they're usually hard to find and rarely interact with others~

Post by ππππππππππππ on Dec 6, 2020 22:15:52 GMT -5
Makes sense to me! Also, a small group RP may make things easier to plan on the story side of things. People could have a dragon character as well as some other races, and they could all play a bigger part in the plot. But either way I think it will be fun! I'll do some thinking for my characters! Maybe even doodle a few if I have the motivation :3

Sounds good! Maybe six central protagonists then. One elemental dragon and one other race character for each person which would make twelve in total not counting my mandatory side characters (villains, NPCs, and such) but we'd have to find a natural way for them to join the quest. Like a friend or a mercenary like Trypp~ He won't count as a 'main' dragon.
I hope so! ^^
Ohh, I look forward to them, then! ^^
It's a touch late so I'll be a bit poofy!

Same here ^^ I'll probably be logging off in an hour or so anyways haha I'm a huge fan of characters questing together lol. Especially if there are some dragons who either dislike each other, or see themselves as better only to be proven wrong.

Yes yes! I love tension that becomes character growth and *clenches fist* team bonding!
I'm still deciding if I want YeBai or Saga to be my main- YeBai could just as easily be a side-character given that he is royalty and could be the one who decrees the quest in the first place or causes background tension by being a royal pain...Hm, perhaps a subplot of court intrigue..?

Post by ππππππππππππ on Dec 6, 2020 22:40:09 GMT -5
*clenches fist as well* enemies to friends, enemies to friends, ENEMIES TO FRIENDS. Or enemies to friends to lovers? Jk... unless???
A royal in the main group could be potentially fun as well. He'd definitely be a character who would go through a lot of growth if he's one of those 'better than you because im royalty' characters.

*gasps* and they were roommates
lol honestly enemies>friends>lovers is one of my favorite tropes because of the ~ tension ~ and it's always one of the things I think about when there's a haughty royal meets 'common' person aspect to a story~ because wHat cOuld gO wRoNg?
I don't have quite a handle on YeBai yet but he's definitely the type to be baffled and disconcerted like 'no I didn't say I wanted to kiss you I said...kick you no really!'
I definitely think I'd have a lot of fun with him~ I'm still trying to figure out if I should establish my main now or later though. I want to give room for different kinds of characters and someone might already claim haughty royal- Saga is halfway there already haha

I'm a sucker for rival romances, which usual include enemies to friends to lovers so I love it as well aksjfadkf
Well, you could totally claim it first, or have multiple characters in mind and just pick the one you think would vibe best with the rest of the group :0 I'm considering having a dragon character that's very invested in the other races. Like, he's from one of the hermit dragon groups and is like a tourist in the towns of other races/dragons cause he's never seen a lot of the stuff before lol

Absolutely! It often feeds my love for ~ angst ~ haha. I favor forbidden rival romances in particular~! Once my friend and I wrote our characters participating in a skirmish and passing off their disappearing for cuddles as wanting time for a 'private battle'
Yep! Except I have the vague idea of which of my multiple characters I'll use ^^
I ah, have to get on that...
If the leader is YeBai, I'll have to add some more traits to contrast his pridefulness so as not to make him a complete stereotype~
Saga isn't quite how I'd imagine a leader...
Labyrinth could fit as the Resident Weirdo who kind of ended up in charge but he's a bit too flighty
Nitentrypp is also a contender, and he's accustomed to herding rowdy personalities~
Mireu could also end up being a more hands-off leader I suppose...
I also kind of have the idea of there being a set leader but they are proven to be incompetent and/or die immediately so that the others are lost for a bit haha~
Hello! Feel free to contribute anything you'd like, even if it's only saying whether or not you agree to our ideas~

Oh man, I love angst but hate it so much to. As long as it has a happy ending I am ALL FOR IT~
Lmao, a leader that builds themselves up so much only to reveal that they have no idea what's going on would be iconic. Having their leader get killed early to would be interesting as well, and it would force the team to work better together or work harder to cover for the loss.
Hey hey! Glad to see you here :0 Oh also, I've always wanted to ask, but what should we call you? Toes? Smelly? I'm wheezing at the thought lol

Exactly I can't have anything without a happy ending, my heart can't take it ;;;
Hmhm, that's what I was thinking! They might stick around long enough to affect the relationships within the group as well.
Oh, I think I will do that~ It'd actually help me jumpstart something behind the scenes, storywise kkkk
I'm a warrior of love now?? I mean it's true, but how did get here? Haha

Oof, sorry I missed the remark on your own character! I'm distracted ;;;
Just want to say that I think that's a really fun and awesome idea! It'll be fun to see him interact with the others! YeBai would respond with 'how dare you speak to me' but most of the boys would be all for it~
Also, what do I call you? Haha~
Ooh, okay, thanks! ^^
I see! Thank you for offering~ Perhaps some ideas on what the cities would be like? I'm still debating on whether sky dragons would have the material/magic to literally have floating cities or just be living on cliffs. Cave dragons naturally would live in cave cities, but of course you're free to change or tweak things as you wish!
