*Screenname: The Emperor ( @/gray )
*Name: Anika
Gender: Female
Age: 8,361
*Description: Anika is a dragon from a species known as Emperors. Emperors are an undead variant of another species, Imperial dragons. Anika has five heads, two tails, three pairs of wings (six wings in total), and eight legs. In life, the five heads were five separate dragons. However, when they died, their bodies fused and formed an Emperor. Though they go by Anika when being addressed as a collective Emperor, each head is known by a separate nickname. The main part of Anika’s body is covered in gray scales. They have a pattern resembling a python’s. One of her tails has the same coloring as the main part of her body, but the second tail is blue-green. Both tails have the same pattern. Three of the Emperor’s heads, who are known as Rua, Eri, and Xio, also display a python pattern. Rua’s gray scales match a majority of Anika. Xio’s blue-green scales compliment one of her tails. However, Eri has orange scales. The two other heads, Ysa and Khi, have different colors and patterns. Khi has spotted, dark brown scales. Ysa has purple scales. Different parts of Ysa display different shades. One patch of scales might be almost white while another is lavender toned. The five heads also have different eye colors. Rua’s eyes are crimson, Xio’s are ice blue, Eri’s are bright orange, Khi’s are emerald green, and Ysa’s are magenta. One of Anika’s pairs of wings is dark blue and covered in jaguar-like spots. This pair is the largest of the three. The two smaller pairs are bright orange and striped. Because she is undead, parts of Anika have rotted away. The left side of her ribs are exposed, one of her forelegs is almost completely skeletal, and part of Rua’s skull is showing. In addition, all six of her wings are tattered. The spotted, dark blue pair is less damaged than the other two, but it’s still significantly torn. Furthermore, Xio is missing an antler. Anika’s body is massive. Her gargantuan form is 230 feet long. She stands at an impressive height of 67 feet. In addition, her wingspan is 206 feet wide.
*Personality: Anika’s five heads each have separate personalities.
Xio is a caring dragon. If you’re close to her, she’ll be loyal and stick with you until the end. She’s also skilled in reasoning and keeping things in order. She tends to behave motherly and acts as a “big sister” to the rest of Anika’s heads.
Eri is the most outgoing of the five. She’s a chatterbox who often speaks with enthusiasm. Though she may seem laid back at first, Eri is also the most emotional head of Anika. It’s very easy to tell when she’s upset.
Khi isn’t shy, but she doesn’t socialize much. She is one to keep her emotions and thoughts to herself. In addition, it often takes her some time to fully trust people. She rarely ever lets anyone become close to her. The only people she’s completely opened up to are her companions, the Emperor’s other heads. Even to them, it’s often a mystery as to what’s going on in her mind.
Ysa is the shyest of Anika’s heads. She avoids talking to strangers. However, unlike Khi, she is quick to warm up to others. She’s a kind and sweet dragon who wants to protect those who she is close to.
Rua is a wild card. Sometimes, she’s as upbeat as Eri. Other times, she acts shy and secretive like Ysa and Khi. Even though her behavior is unpredictable and odd, there is one thing about her that always stays the same: she’s nice to everyone. She seems to care about everybody, including complete strangers.
Power (if any): Each of Anika’s heads can control a separate element. Rua can control the element of plague, Khi can control the element of nature, Eri can control the element of fire, Xio can control the element of ice, and Ysa can control the element of arcane. Furthermore, the Emperor is very strong physically.
*Tell me. Are we alive?(The code word. Read the rules.): We are dead
*Path Chosen (If you don't understand look through the choices in the intro): Anika is still in the process of choosing
Group player or single player?: Single Player
Other: Anika is a Flight Rising OC.
Anika can be shrunken if need be. It’s rather difficult to move around when you’re a dragon who’s almost 70 feet tall who’s been stuffed into a crowded museum.
Anika has been undead for thousands of years. However, a certain event (or more accurately, chain of events) caused her body to be completely destroyed back in her world.
*Starting Role-Play post(everyone start out in their room):
Xio slowly lifted her heavy eyelids. The imagery around her was too blurry for her to make out any shapes. Where was she? What had happened? She tried to think of what she’d been doing before she’d woken up in this place, but she couldn’t remember a single thing. Who even was she? She couldn’t begin to recall what she looked like.
Gradually, the scenery cleared. Once the fuzziness was gone from her vision, Xio lifted her head off the ground and observed her surroundings. When she looked down, she saw a dragon’s body – her body – laying on the floor. She also noticed that her head wasn’t the only one attached to its body. There were four others, and they all laid asleep on the ground. Just then, Xio’s memory sparked. She was an emperor dragon. She had a name, and her name was Xio. Her drowsy companions had names as well: Eri, Rua, Ysa, and Khi. They even had a name that they all shared, Anika. Xio suddenly remembered a few flashes of her “life” (or rather undeath back in her home world), too. It still wasn’t much, but she was content with at least rediscovering who she was.
There was still one important question left unanswered, however. Xio was in a room. That was a given. She had no idea where the room was, though.
Suddenly, the sleeping heads began to wake up. First was Eri, then came Khi and Ysa. Rua was last to awaken. Xio was doubtful that they had any more knowledge about the situation than she did, but she still asked out of curiosity. “Where are we?”
Unfortunately, the results were exactly as she’d expected.
“Dunno,” Eri stated.
“I don’t have a single clue,” Rua and Ysa replied in unison.
Khi simply shook her head.
Xio sighed. She tried to think of what to do, but Eri already had an idea. “Should we explore?” the orange-scaled head suggested.
“I see no other option,” Xio responded. There were only so many clues one could find in a tiny, plain room. There was one door, but it had the same problem as the room – it was very small. She half doubted that she would be able to fit through it. However, exploring seemed like the most reasonable choice.
All four of her companions showed signs of agreement. With the help of Eri and Khi, Xio moved the Emperor’s body towards the door. Then, one of the dragon’s paws suddenly stepped on something. All five heads halted their motion and looked down. Underneath their skeletal forepaw was what looked to be a note.
It certainly looked like a clue. Khi moved Anika’s claw off the piece of paper. Then, Xio got closer to the ground to read it.
As she took in what the note said, her eyes widened with surprise. “This note says that we’re dead,” she stated.
“Isn’t that obvious? We’ve been dead for thousands of years!” Eri spoke.
“Who would send us a note just to tell us that we’re dead?” Ysa inquired.
Xio couldn’t answer her companions’ questions. She was just as confused herself. Was it possible to die a second time? Was that why she could hardly remember anything?
Just then, Rua chimed in. “Does the letter say anything else?” she asked.
“It says that we’re in Sable’s Museum. We supposedly have three options. One is to accept our ‘death’ and find something called “Freedom”, two is to search for an item called “Sable’s Life” that will allow us to return to life, and the third is to stay here forever.”
“Wait, seriously? Let me read it,” Khi said.
“I’d like to see it, too,” Rua and Eri spoke in unison.
Xio moved back to allow the other heads a chance to get close enough to read the note. After they each looked at it, they moved away in confusion.
There was a temporary silence as the five thought about what they saw.
After a few minutes, Rua spoke up. “So, should we trust this letter or not?”
“I say that we should explore and keep our eyes peeled. We might be able to find more information behind that door,” Eri responded, nodding towards the door.
“I agree with Eri,” Ysa said, “I think we should be especially cautious, though. That note is very odd. What’s to say about the rest of this place?”
After Ysa was done, there was another silence.
Xio took a moment to think. She did agree with her companions’ points, but she had another idea. When she was finally finished pondering, she opened her mouth to speak. “I think that this letter could be telling the truth. When I woke up, I couldn’t remember anything. I didn’t know where I was before I’d ended up here. I tried to think of it, but I still can’t recall much. Do any of you feel the same? If we died a second time, then maybe that’s the explanation.”
“I have to say that I feel the same way,” Rua said. “I can recall flashes, but not much.”
“If I were to be completely honest, that’s what I feel, too,” Khi spoke. The green-eyed head kept her voice quiet, but her words were just loud enough for Anika’s other heads to hear.
Ysa and Eri nodded their heads in agreement. “I still feel like we should carefully look around. There is something strange going on, and I don’t like it,” Ysa stated.
“I don’t like this place one bit, but I think Xio has a point,” Khi responded.
“I’m with Khi on that one,” Rua commented.
“What if we explored, but kept the letter in the back of our minds?” Eri improvised.
Xio wanted to talk more about the letter. She especially wanted to discuss more about “Sable’s Life” and “Freedom”. However, she wasn’t in the mood for an argument. “That sounds like a plan,” she nodded in Eri’s direction.
After Rua, Khi, and Ysa had agreed, the five moved the Emperor’s body to the door. As Xio had expected, it was a tight space. Luckily, they managed to get through in one piece.
Unfortunately, the hallway outside of the room was still rather tight. Luckily, it seemed like the perfect place to gather information. There were miscellaneous items scattered everywhere. Xio still believed the letter and wanted to assume that they were artifacts from other worlds. However, if Ysa was right, then the items could be clues.
