Joining Info
There is going to be one new dragon rider for each dragon type- and this is who the storyline focuses on. So there are 13 "main" character spots. Side characters are also available to make (ex. the 3 surviving knights, leaders of city-states, family members)- if you are interested in making one feel free to contact me and we can work it out.
The average age range for the new riders should be within 18-30. I would be okay with maybe one or two of the riders being younger- just ask me first and we can talk through it! Their dragons should be around 7 years of age.
You control control both the rider and dragon of one character. Dragons have personalities too, and not every dragon and dragonrider match is going to get along well.
The dragonriders can be any race, and are hand picked from the rebellion by these knights. That means, they have some kind of talent/skill or have lead successful missions in the past. Use these when creating character backstories! Go crazy go stupid! If you wanna do something more out there- shoot me a dm or just ask me and we can discuss how it would work!

Oren Unwin Wolf Shifter Oren is a tall male with blue-grey eyes. His skin is tanned to a honey-like colour. He is muscular, but it doesn't show under his clothes since he's not bulky muscular. His a mix between blonde and brown. The majority of his hair is brown, but there are blonde highlights mixed within. He has a high forehead and a square jaw. He keeps a stubble outlining his jaw and upper lip on most days. He has a fuller lower lip, and thinner upper lip.
Oren's wolf form is rather standard. He is a sandy-brown wolf with blue eyes. He is 1.6m in length.
Oren is a rather soft-spoken male. His voice is always mild and gentle. He's not the type to raise his voice. He is also gallant. He is charmingly attentive, and chivalrous to women. He is also very brave when he needs to be. Oren is very intolerant of certain things, like he doesn't like unnecessary fighting and he doesn't like overly aggressive people. He has a lot of things he is intolerant of, and will show it. When Oren fights, he sometimes enters a frenzied state. Due to his wolf-like nature, Oren can become uncontrollable if he gets too excited which is why he tries to reign his emotions in, leading to his soft-spoken "personality". Due to Oren being the son of a rebel leader, Oren tries to keep a low-profile. Not many know Oren's last name, and he only introduces himself with his first. Due to keeping a low-profile, Oren is very thorough when doing things. He makes sure he completes everything with regards to every single detail. He makes sure he uses the same story, and never ventures far from the truth, mixing truth with lies. Strouver & Star Dragon (Ceara) As a wolf shifter, Oren is very wolf-like when he fights. He has a strong sense of smell, sight, and strength. Oren grew up in Strouver. It's been his home, and due to his shifting nature, he is very good at tracking and hunting. He was raised as Duke Abner Unwin's heir, and he knows he will lead the rebellion after his father. Rather than bonding with a climbing or mirror dragon, Oren wanted a dragon that would compliment his abilities, and so ended up bonding with Ceara, a Star Dragon. She has been by his side ever since.
Oren hates vegetables, and loves meat.
Ceara Star Dragon & Oren Unwin Ceara is a black dragon with no eyes. She has massive ears and a large nose, as well as a mane of lighter fur around her neck. Her tongue is forked, and her teeth are sharp. her claws are hooked and sharp, strong enough to support her weight as she sleeps upside down.
Ceara is vigilant. She is always keeping an eye out for danger. Although she cannot see, her other senses are very strong, strong enough to rival Oren's. Using echolocation, Ceara has a better understanding of her surroundings than her rider. She is keen to help Oren. Her enthusiasm and eagerness are so strong, it's sometimes hard to stop Ceara. The problem with Ceara, is that she's too reliant on Oren. Without Oren's goal, Ceara would be aimless. Without her rider, she is without purpose or direction. When she fights and hunts, Ceara can be rather barbaric. She can be rather savagely cruel, much like Oren when in his frenzied state. She is a peacemaker. Ceara tends to be rather peaceful when not in her fighting/hunting state. She likes peace, and will always try to stop conflicts in the group she's with. She is also rather principled when not fighting. She knows right from wrong, and will always act according to morality.
Ceara likes her meat cooked. |

they look good to me! the only issue is that Ceara would be much younger- having been taken from the palace as an egg/young hatchling around 7 years ago.

Hollis F Terran 23 yrs xx male xx bisexual, biromantic half-dryad & limited control over plants Hollis isn't the type of person you notice in a crowd. Standing at a height of 5'6", the half-dryad's wiry frame is lined with compact muscles that only give the slightest inclination to his true strength. He's fairly attractive- his face relatively symmetrical and unscarred, a scattering of freckles across his cheeks, his hair falling in loose curls that touch the back of his neck. He seems to radiate warmth- whether it be from his soft eyes, or the goofy smile he seems to always be making. He didn't take many traits from his dryad father- just his pointed ears and unnatural white hair. In every other aspect he takes after his human mother- his tan skin color, his dark brown eyes, even the small, messy curls in his hair.
Hollis is a very idealistic character. He's a dreamer at heart, and is always striving to create his vision of perfect world. The world to him is black-and-white- he sees his enemies as wicked and in the wrong and himself and his allies as heroes and "good guys". Because of this he's a very stubborn individual, and generally takes criticism very poorly. If you disagree with his plans he's more likely to see it as a personal attack than anything made out of good faith. He is at his strongest as a team member rather than a leader- often offering up clever solutions to problems or tweaking the plans of others so that they're more successful. However, he sees himself only as leadership material, and hasn't yet discovered that he's a much better supporter. Despite all this, he is a rather charming person- the first to crack a joke during a tough time or reach out to others in need. Because of a fascination with heroic literature as a kid- he also has a handful of inspiring speeches memorized- and is apt to pull them out whenever he feels his teammates feel even a little bit disheartened. He's very sarcastic, and has a sharp-tongue that has gotten him in trouble more than a couple times. Hollis is the type of person to cuss out an enemy only to get his ass kicked seconds later. He's also a huge dork when it comes to literature and history- and as a child he always dreamed of visiting Brenbridge and spending hours flipping through random books and scrolls. However, he tries to hide this part of him because it doesn't fit the "cool, sarcastic, sly man" aura he tries to emit. wrenvale & flame-swallowing dragon (Scoria) Hollis was born and raised in Wrenvale, and while neither of his parents were very prosperous, they never struggled financially. His mother runs a small bakery near the city center and his father works as a gardener for one of the main gardens. He got involved in the rebellion from a young age, and both his parents were arrested several times for protesting against the new government. In his eyes the invaders were the big, bad, evil guys, and he and his family were just the heroes needed to take them down. When he turned 18, he started organizing a chapter of the rebellion in his home city, and what started out as a one-man operation quickly turned into a four-men-and-one-woman one. Now he works with the Riptides in bringing supplies up the eastern coast to the troops in Strouver- even running a few of these missions himself.
He's a skilled swordsman. Only able to control a few specific plants (hawthorn, common ivy, & peonies), so he keeps a pouch full of seeds that he can throw on the ground and use in a jam.
Scoria 7 xx male xx 10'3" xx 43'0" flame-swallowing & Hollis Terran Scoria is a taller dragon with scales the ashen grey color that most Flame-Swallowing Dragons are. His belly and eyes glow a bright orange color when his core is heated, and his scales radiate a soft heat at all times. He's bulkier than most dragons and keeps his head lower to the ground. While still impressive, the horn on the right side of his head is chipped short after a scuffle with one of the other dragons recently left him injured.
Scoria is a fairly aggressive dragon, always one to try and solve problems via fights rather than talking things out. He often feels held back by others, much preferring solo action than working in a team. He wasn't the type of dragon to want a rider, and was more than content without a human on his back. He is, however, fiercely loyal and protective of those he cares about- even if he struggles to vocalize it.
Scoria is a big hot-head and has definitely gotten into fights with the other dragons.
Sylvie Maurriette 57 yrs xx female xx heterosexual, heteroromantic human & charm Older woman with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
Sylvie is a fiery and protective old soul. She sees the rescued dragons almost as her children- not gonna let anything bad happen to them. Very stern and demanding to the new recruits. traetol & armored (Tallis) One of the old Dragon Knights who carried the eggs away from the palace on the night of the invasion. Born and raised in Traetol, but moved to the capital when she was appointed as Dragon Knight. Her dragon Tallis wing's were burnt very badly that night, and never fully healed enough for him to ever be able to fly again.

Calypso E. Renfrey 23 xx female xx bisexual biromantic human & vitality Calypso Renfrey, or Cal as most acquaintances call her, is average only in build. She stands at a simple 5'5", with a lean, curvy body that is toned and muscular from years of workouts and performances. Her skin is smooth and well-cared for, and is a soft sun-kissed tan from her love for the outdoors. There are very few markings on her skin besides the freckles over her face and shoulders, but one large scar does run from the top of her right shoulder, down her back, to her left hip. She usually covers it with makeup for performances, as she does with her many tattoos. Her hair is long and wavy, a natural black-brown that is cut to frame her face, and is often pulled back into a messy braid or up-do when she doesn't have to have it fixed. With full, pink lips and vivid smoky gray eyes, Cal knows how to use her skills at makeup to her advantage when necessary. A single small scar curves just above the right side of her upper lip.
The first thing people often notice about Cal is her boldness, and how outgoing she is. She'll talk to just about anyone she comes across and loves to interact with others. Cal is very brash and headstrong when she puts her mind to something, and you'll be hard-pressed to find anything she'll change her mind on. She's fiery and sarcastic and is always willing to argue, but she loves her friends and family dearly and will go to the ends of the earth for them. There are very few people as willing to just sit and listen to as Cal, but when you ask for her opinion she'll give it, brutally and honestly. She has a hard time just sitting around and always has to be moving, which some might find annoying. Cal doesn't think anything though, generally speaking - she rushes in headfirst and worries about the consequences later. She often speaks without thinking and says something she shouldn't. When moonlighting as Kaos, she is quiet and determined, and very hard to catch. Something about being so impossible to stop creates a thrill for her, and she absolutely loves knowing how much it angers the authorities when she slips past them.phose & frost dragon ( fenrir ) Calypso, or Cal, was born and raised in the city of Phose, where she grew into her genetically-inherited talent of dance. Her parents, Tomas and Celeste, are two of the most renowned dancers in the city. Cal's childhood was filled with the wonders of music and performances, costumes and makeup galore. She has never not been involved in the performances in some way - and, in time, she grew into her own skin and began giving performances herself. Cal quickly surpassed her parents in both talent and fame as she became one of the city's most well-known dancers. Her parents, having wanted her to be well-rounded, had also made sure she was taught in the gifts of music and artistry as well, but they were beyond proud to know she had followed in their footsteps.
Growing up as a dancer, and a well-known one at that, took a toll on Cal's ability to make friends. Once combined with her fiery personality and slight inability to control her vitality magic, which she always incorporated into her dances, it made friendship very hard for Cal to master. She did have one friend, though - Raja. He was her best friend throughout their entire childhood, and even her dance partner on occasion during performances. They were like siblings, and nothing could tear them apart.
Seven years ago, during the siege of Airoling, Raja's family fought against the invaders and their tyranny - and paid for it with their lives. In a single night, Cal lost both her second family and her favorite person in the entire world. At just sixteen years old Cal understood that this was an unforgivable act. The loss of innocents, children like her Raja and their friends, was never going to be rational. It was then that Cal decided she would fight back in her own way.
Two years and several trips to neighboring cities later, Kaos was born. A vigilante that worked only at night, toppling crooked schemes and giving light to activities that corrupt leaders would rather stay hidden in the dark. In five years, no one has ever been able to figure out who this mysterious individual is, and Cal plans to keep it that way - even if Fenrir disagrees with her methods.
Being chosen as one of the new thirteen riders was not on Cal's list of ambitions, but what better way to undercut the tyranny of the invaders than with a hoard of dragons and riders at her side?
- - -
Cal has many tattoos, as well as a number of piercings on her ears and nose. She wears numerous earrings and rings, but only one necklace - a gemstone necklace given to her by Raja, for her sixteenth birthday. Her favorite foods are any form of cooked meat, but having bonded with Fenrir has given her a taste for dried, jerky-style meats as well.
Fenrir 7 xx male xx 11'8" xx 36'6" frost dragon & calypso Fenrir is one of the largest of the Frost dragons, standing just above the average height at 11'8", with a wingspan of 36'6". He was built for brute force and intimidation, and he excels in those areas. His brilliant white scales are iridescent, and glisten in the sunlight like icicles or snow. Fenrir has a massive mane of fur around his neck in a mix of smoky gray and light blue, giving it an appearance like steam of a freezing lake. With massive, straight horns and six black eyes, most people are generally scared of Fenrir when they first meet him - then they see his razor sharp claws and decide that yes, he is a frightening creature.
Fenrir is, for lack of a better word, cold. He doesn't generally like new people, despite his laidback and nonconfrontational nature. He's seen too many friends get hurt or killed to let new people in. Fenrir uses his head before his heart, and prefers to think before rushing into things. He's headstrong and sticks to his beliefs, but he's open-minded enough to consider his options when it's necessary - even if he doesn't like. He's also very sarcastic and witty, but most people have to know him for years before they ever truly see this side of him.
Fenrir was originally chosen for Cal as a way to 'cool her temper', if you ask the knights, but really it was because the potential for their bond was obvious from the very beginning. Despite their differences and disagreements, Fenrir truly does care for Cal and would go to the ends of the earth to protect her. He has a soft spot for his bonded human, though he hides it well, and to harm her is to seal your fate in his eyes. He would do anything for her, and she for him.
Braxton S Wylder 22 xx male xx pansexual panromantic half-siren physical description
personalityiclares & aquatic ( cersei ) Braxton was born and raised in Iclares by a siren mother and human father. Many people assumed that his mother sang his father into the relationship, but in reality it was his father that pursued her. Regardless of the rumors, they raised Braxton with love and respect, and have passed their joy for life and for the sea on to him. When the invasion happened, Braxton saw how many people got hurt and decided in that moment that he would do whatever it took to bring Tyndall down. Once the dragon knights came knocking he didn't hesitate to leave with them and meet Cersei.
- -
Braxton goes by Brak. Only close friends and family are allowed to call him Braxton. Since he is only half-siren, his song is not as powerful and he has to put his full concentration into it in order to keep the trance going. He isn't as tied to water, though, and while more powerful near it, is still relatively strong even in the center of the continent.
Cersei 7 xx female xx 10'7" xx 15' aquatic & braxton Cersei is of average size for an aquatic dragon, with a wingspan of 15'. Her scales are a myriad of deep blues and indigo, with a few brighter blue spots scattered throughout. This allows her to generally blend into the depths of the sea and hide from her opponents. Her eyes are a deep, almost navy blue. Two long whiskers fall from either side of her jaws, and large gills cut through the sides of her neck. Her body is covered in webbed membranes and spikes, though a couple of them have been chipped down from fights she got into.
Cersei is as relentless and merciless as the sea that she calls home. She's protective of her loved ones, and treats everyone that isn't automatically a friend as a threat. She is brash, and bold, and headstrong, but she is also caring and noble. There's an almost regal air to her, which adds to her intimidation factor. Cersei is not shy about the fact that she is willing to fight whoever she has to, and often has to have Brak remind her that some battles can be won with words.
Cersei bonded with Braxton after challenging him to bring her a rare fish from the sea. She had expected him to capture the fish through brute force and traps, but was rather impressed when he informed her that he had merely coaxed it into following him and then placed it in a glass box of sea water so that it could survive when he brought it on land to give to her. Cersei is willing to eat any fish or sea bird, but this particular species of fish is her favorite.
Estelle J Flintwood 25 xx female xx homosexual homoromantic leopard shifter A lean, tan young woman with blonde hair and pale blue-green eyes. She has pale leopard spots on the outside of her arms and legs, and over her shoulders and cheekbones. Her canine teeth are especially sharp, and her pupils are cat-like as well. Her leopard form is that of the average leopard, but her eye color remains the same as her human form.
She's sarcastic and witty, and loves to pick fights when she knows either she can win or the other person can't afford to get involved. She's not afraid to bite if she has to.iclares She was born and raised in Iclares.
She is a member of the Riptide chapter of the rebellion, and often uses her leopard form to help in attacking ships and causing diversions to allow other members to complete their jobs.
Jordan E Callista 24 xx male xx questioning (bisexual biromantic) human & tranquility A tall, well-built man with ash-brown hair and well-trimmed facial hair. His eyes are a dark brown with lighter flecks, and he has a light dusting of freckles over his nose and cheek bones. There are tattoos on both of his shoulders and upper arms, and a single large scar runs from the top of his right hip to the inside of his right knee.
Jordan is mildly arrogant, because he knows he works hard and earns his keep. He's overall a good person though, who as hope for the rebellion despite his family being supportive of Tyndall and his invaders. He was raised as a gentleman, but inherited his father's anger issues and has to work to not let them get the better of him.arioling He was born and raised in Arioling, to a family of aristocrats. His family supported Tyndall in the invasion, and he hates them for it.
Jordan is distantly related to one of the 13 riders that Tyndall had hunted down, and he has been secretly acting as a knight and joining tournaments to raise his own money so that he could support the new riders.
info from planning page regarding cal and fenrir - -
โข [ re: general idea of character ] ... sheโs a human who has/practices vitality magic and she starts off rocky with her dragon because she managed to outsmart him in a fight and heโs begrudgingly impressed but theyโre literally the fire and ice relationship for the longest time before something happens and he gets hurt and she just loses it and thatโs when they both realize how strong their bond is and start doing better about trusting each other and stuff - she was a fighter as a kid and is very outspoken and brash and heโs pretty laidback and non-confrontational unless sheโs in danger. she got kinda famous in wherever sheโs from for being a โvigilanteโ of sorts, but sheโll probably be from the arts district and have like a secret identity for that, so otherwise sheโs known for her dancing or whatever.
โข [ re: how she ended up with the frost dragon, and her alignment with the resistance ] ... i think the frost dragon was chosen for her, mostly as a way to โcoolโ her temper probably, but also because the potential for their bond is there from the start, they just have to grow into it. as far as vigilante work, i imagine she mostly works on her own but occasionally works with the resistance when necessary or when she believes itโs the only right choice. she finds fault in an active resistance bc in her experience it only gets people hurt, and believes that working in the background to undercut the tyranny is the best choice bc she can, in a sense, โcontrolโ who gets hurt and how
โข [ re: three knights having the riders work for them in the rebellion ] ... i think she would disagree with them trying to have the riders work for them, but eventually sheโll come to terms w this being what has to happen for now, probably
โข [ re: relationships ] ... okay so hereโs my thoughts on relations to other characters - [ insert name ] is gonna be open to just about anything, friends, enemies, rivals, loves, etc. i imagine friends and enemies will be common given her moonlighting as a vigilante, soooo
โข [ re: basic set up of info ] ... okay basic setup for my girly
- calypso ( goes by cal or calli )
- roughly 22 to 23 years old
- female
- bisexual biromantic, favors women
- vitality mage
- [ extra: chaotic good alignment, probably a virgo or a pisces idk, will think of more later ]
- frost dragon ; probably fenrir or a translation of something ice-related
- renowned in the arts district for her dancing, does performances and stuff
- acts as a vigilante on the side - probably goes by kaos or risque (pr: chaos / risk)
- [ insert dragon name ] is the calm to her storm, once they truly mature and bond. they likely have one of the strongest bonds, but get off to a rocky start. heโs very icy and cold (pun intended) and is quite intimidating when pissed. sheโs fiery and brash, and insanely headstrong. definitely more than one forest clearing faces the consequences of an argument between them.
Calypso Renfrey location I time | tag | fenrir
secondary character ideas - -
โข second rider and dragon || ONLY IF OTHER SPOTS OPEN || half-siren or half-dryad bonded to aquatic dragon
โข riptide member || shifter, acquaintance of calypso, works with kaos on occasion
- from iclares, leopard shifter, probs 22-ish? maybe?, homoromantic homosexual ( name? ideas? )
- has been in performances w calypso before, occasionally works w kaos when she's in iclares, rarely travels outside unless for good reasons
- part of riptide, uses her leopard form to attack tathraren ships and act as diversion when needed
- a total gremlin, will bite you, the way to her heart is food tbh
โข rich boy knight || human, tranquility mage, related to one of the former 13 perhaps? priveleged and arrogant, but true respect for dragons and dislike for tyranny
- from arioling, roughly 24-ish, male, questioning sexuality ( name? ideas? )
- related to former rider of armored dragon, has major respect and awe for dragons and riders, wants to support the new riders
- his family betrayed their relative in the riders by supporting tyndall, and he holds major disdain for both tyndall and his family for this. has been making his own money on the side so he can leave as soon as he has the chance
- mildly arrogant bc he knows he works hard and looks good, but actually a very good guy who has hope for the resistance and wants to be helpful. was raised to be a gentleman, but has major anger issues that he inherited from his father, which is why he became a knight - what better way to release anger than to fight it out?

Saena Meltheon Human & Balance Saena is not what you would picture when thinking about a dragon rider. Let alone one from Grens. She stands at about 5'2 and looks anything other than intimidating. Her cheek bones are high and about the other thing that looks even remotely sharp on her, her jaw line is round but comes to a point at the very last minute. Her eyes are almond shaped but on the larger side framed with thick lashes giving her a little bit of a doe eyed look. Hair wise her hair is long, reaching the middle of her back and at least half of it is kept in some kind of braided style it is bright red in color making her very easy to spot. Her eyes are pale blue and surrounded by freckles that spread down to her nose and cheeks. She has several tattoos from simple bold lines to more complex patterns. The most noticeable one is the one that covers most of her left leg it is a intricate line work tattoo of Ilaria.
As far as dress goes she tends to stick to simple things, things she can easily fight in. Typically she wears a pair of fitted light brown pants and with a black dress over it. The dress is cut all the way up her thighs the neckline is a mock-neck tank top. She wears leather strap harness on her chest and thighs as well. During hotter spells she opts for a pair of shorts.
If her looks managed to trick you into thinking she was an innocent girl then once she opens her mouth that would be all down the drain. She is a ball of fire and doesn't take anything from anyone. Saena is very brutally honest to a default often not thinking about how it would make someone feel, having grown up surrounded by criminals she knows nothing but self defense. Her way of life has always been eat or be eaten. She is very sarcastic and can sometimes come off as a bit mean, but she is just having fun and will laugh it off. More often than not she is a swing first as questions later type of person and almost always she rushes into things with out thinking or planning. Winging it is how she survives. Grens & Mirror dragon (Ilaria) Growing up in Grens wasn't exactly the best environment for a child. She grew up around a number of gangs and was surrounded by criminal activity. Her parents died when she was barely a teen and she was left to fend for herself. This meant stealing food and money to survive. An excellent thief she has managed for the most part to not get caught. Her parents never had any other children at least none that she knows about. When she turned sixteen she took to traveling the world for a bit acting as a mercenary for some of the bigger gang powers in Grens but eventually returned home and this was when she was chosen as a dragon rider. When she has always fought for herself and ran her own life so when she met Ilaria is was interesting. Cut from the same cloth they often butt heads and while it seems like their bond isn't as close thanks to the constant bickering and Ilaria hiding in plain sight, they are very close just not very well trained together. Each of them have worked separately perfectly but together they often argue about what to do.
Her weapons of choice are really anything she can get her hands on. But she always has a small jeweled knife she stole when she was a child. As far as magic goes it is just as wild as she is, some days she can do things well trained balance users can do and other days she can't aim the rocks she throws.
Ilaria 7 xx female xx 7'0' xx 24'0' Mirror Dragon & Saena Ilaria rarely looks the same thanks to the shifting color of her scales, but like Saena she looks very delicate as her type of dragon does. She has seven and a half horns, she lost one of them when she was only a few months old. Her wings mimick those of a dragonfly, and shift in color as well. The only color that remains constant on this dragon is her eyes, that are pitch black.
Cut from the same cloth as her rider Ilaria is a ball of fire. Often times it is her way or the highway, leading to bickering. She matches the energy of anyone she meets and has been known to play tricks on people by popping out of nowhere or helping Saena steal things.
She has been known to steal things and keep trinkets from adventures. Often times hiding recently stolen items in her mouth. Food in particular, fruits are her favorite. Being as small as she in means she can kind of squeeze into places she shouldn't be and take food that isn't hers. |

Hi! Would it be possible for me to make a rookie and one of the original three Dragon Knights? And how old would he be? ^^

yes for sure! so for the three surviving knights there's a lot more room in terms of ages- so as long as they're at least 30 I'm fine with whatever. Realistically 40-50s if you're looking for something more specific. also you can play around with the idea of having the knight's dragon be dead/lost in the aftermath of the siege if you'd like! i know i was going to make that a gimmick for one of the three knights so i'd figure i'd offer it up to you if you were interested!

yeah np! and since the knight is more of a minor character i don't need a whole form for them! just the easy info- you can write however much or little for physical desc, personality, & history as you want.

Thanks, that'd help! Haha ^^;; Sometimes I only have a general idea of my characters because they may change as I write.
Can you give me an idea of where he'd be at now? Sorry if I missed it in reading!- but has he already chosen some knights or us he still looking?
Because he's technically the first, I thought I'd get a little more info to tie him in with the characters who have already been created ^^

yeah i get the same way haha
mmm so all three of the remaining knights currently have set up their headquarters in the southern forests (southwest corner of map). i was planning on starting off the rp with the new dragonriders having just bonded with their dragons- so the thirteen have already been selected (however he doesn't have to like all the choices haha). the biggest mission rn is training them to be skilled riders.

One of my possibles are the twins
here. Would it be possible to use both of them as a two-for-one deal? ^^;; They don't both have to be Dragon Knights! |

Post by lazy penguin on Aug 12, 2021 0:23:21 GMT -5
Yeah for sure! There are a few possibilities we can play around with for them? I'm prolly gonna open it up so that members will be able to claim two riders after like a week of being open- so if there are still spots (which there prolly will be) you could easily make them both riders. If you wanted only one to be a rider- you could easily make the other more of a minor character. Or I mean you could always have one bonded to the double dragon and have two "riders" for the two-headed dragon lol. If you wanted neither of them to be riders- they for sure can be minor characters too!

Post by Hushabye on Aug 12, 2021 0:33:38 GMT -5
Cool, thanks! ^^
If I go with them, I was planning on waiting to see how the spots fill up because I don't want to take someone's Rider spot. Regardless, both of them will have lost their dragon. That's why Alex would be a bit harder on pairs who haven't fully bonded!
It's either the comparatively young, bratty twins or someone who is literally just Shaped-Like-A-Dad...

Post by lazy penguin on Aug 12, 2021 0:37:39 GMT -5
wait wait wait. i think i'm confusing myself lol
so if you want the twins to be the surviving knights slots don't really matter- they'd just be stepping aside to train the "next generation"! i was thinking u were gonna use them as ur new riders sorry!

Post by Hushabye on Aug 12, 2021 0:45:53 GMT -5
Oh, that's okay! What I meant was, there are three knight slots and two twins, and I didn't want to reduce the available slots to one. If that makes any more sense? ^^;;

Post by lazy penguin on Aug 12, 2021 0:49:29 GMT -5
yeah i get you! honestly- if someone else is really interested in a surviving knight character i can always change it from 3 to 4 spots easily enough, so it's no big deal if you want to have 2!

((peng let me know if anything needs to be changed! I know I wrote a bit much haha, feel free to pop that history into a spoiler if need be. Super excited though ^^))
Peren Talvace Human For the most part, Peren cuts a standard build, almost leaning more towards the diminutive side as he stands at only 4'11". His only outstanding feature is his arms, which are incredibly well-muscled and toned from years spent lifting heavy goods and wielding large pans. Though the majority of his dark brown skin remains unblemished, in places pale scars mar its surface. Perhaps most noticeable would be the old burns on his hands and wrists from when he started cooking, though he is always careful to hide these with a pair of leather bracers, covering from the base of his middle fingers to about three-quarters of the way up his forearm. Peren's hair is short and fluffy, a messy mop of dark brown, only broken up by one tuft of bright orange which he keeps tucked to the side. This color almost matches the hue of his eyes, though the latter is decidedly less vibrant. His face and jaw are shaped more squarely, and his lips are frequently curled upwards into a bright grin.
Peren's typical outfit consists of a tunic-like brown shirt with gold trim and a pair of snug dark brown pants, tucked into leather boots that reach halfway up his lower leg. His shirt is held tightly around his waist by a thick belt, patterned with concentric diamonds. Around his upper leg is another strip of leather- a small holster where he keeps his knives when not in use. Besides this, he wears almost no accessories, the only thing that could be considered such a single iron stud in his right ear.
Peren is an incredibly laid-back, go with the flow kind of person. He's perfectly content just going wherever others drag him, and although he has very pronounced opinions, he'll quickly back down if it means whoever he's fighting with will be content. He also takes his time with all he does, from planning to cooking, making sure everything is perfect before he finishes. However, he doesn't mind experimenting with things just to see how they end up. Then he can squirrel that information away, using it to further his future concoctions. The way Peren views the world is very realistic, and perhaps even a touch cynical. He has seen how both the war and the rebellion affected people firsthand, and is critical of both despite his allegiances. Despite this knowledge, he tries to keep others cheerful, and will do everything in his power to make sure they're comfortable and happy- even if this means taking a pratfall or two for the team.
Phose & Flame Dragon (Gherkin) Peren grew up in Itaphia in a small family, living with just his parents(Lindel+Asteria) and older sister(Mellonie) for company. The Talvace family had a long history of being incredible blacksmiths, and his parents expected Peren to follow in the family business, the same as his sister before him. However, Peren took a liking to something else entirely- cooking. Often he'd sneak out of his father's lessons early to explore the crowded streets of the city, tasting a bit from every food stall or restaurant he passed. Though his parents were immediately repulsed by Peren's disregard for their family legacy, they could still acknowledge how happy it made their son, and eventually gave him their blessing to continue following the 'tourist trade'. Peren greatly appreciated this, and did his best to not forget his family's history despite his current pursuits, always forging his own knives and utensils to use in his cooking. When he was 15, he got his first official job in a kitchen, and caught on quickly to the trade. About half a year after that, a patron to the restaurant Peren worked at noticed his talents and offered him a better job- work at a [fantasy hibachi] establishment run by the customer's best friend. Peren quickly took him up on the offer, and began the arduous process of training for his new career at the Iron Boar. It was here that he spent his next three years, honing his reflexes and skills at cooking, and making quite a pretty penny doing so.
Then, of course, the war came. Itaphia was one of the furthest North city-states, and as such was hit earliest in the conflict. Though the people of the city managed to survive their weeks-long siege, the damage was still felt, especially in the lands surrounding the city itself. Even after the war ended, the scars were still evident everywhere, especially as the dragon riders once prevalent in the city were swiftly eradicated. Peren wanted to help people, but the damage was so widespread it was hard to figure out where to start. So, he did what he knew. He cooked. With the approval of his manager, Peren began using the kitchens to cook giant batches of dried meats, stews, and porridges, delivering the packages of food along with his coworkers to surrounding villages and portions of the city hurt worst by the conflict. Though small, he felt as if he was making some kind of difference, and only increased his efforts over the following year.
But nothing good can last. Around this time, the rebellion launched its first major assault against the new rulership. Their attempt was a massive and immediate failure, and the new government took this as a sign that they needed to crack down further on any hints of dissent among their people. Which lead to a small investigation into the group of chefs up North who made food for those displaced and hurt by their war- the very people who had launched the attack on their capital only a few weeks prior. The whole Iron Boar staff was called in for questioning, and while their reaction was first simply indignation, it quickly turned to genuine concern once they realized they might be in actual trouble. Peren, not wishing to see any of his friends punished, told them all to let him take the fall for their actions. He was the one who had started it after all, and if anyone was to be held accountable, it should be him. He certainly didn't expect to be imprisoned, though. At least all his friends were free to leave, if under much closer scrutiny. Peren took that as a win, and decided to just live through his prison sentence best he could.
Accompanying him in chains, though, were actual members of the failed rebellion, those who hadn't been killed in the conflict. And, soon enough, their friends came back to save them. Caught up in the mix of the jailbreak, Peren and several other non-rebellion members escaped along with the group, only noticed once they made it back to their camp. The rebellion was fairly understanding, though- if they were all imprisoned by the government, that meant they were all on the same side, right? So they offered all the others a place in the rebellion alongside them, working against the government that had captured them. While initially reluctant, Peren eventually realized he didn't have a much better option. Going home would inevitably end in his recapture, and the government might not be as forgiving next time. What else could he do? Live on the run, hiding at every turn? That was pretty much what the rebellion did anyways. At least here he could have a purpose. Accepting their offer, he took up a role within the Nighthunters branch of the rebellion, helping to craft and run supplies across their various strongholds.
Once rumors of the newly-hatched dragons began to circulate, Peren was told by some of his companions that he might be a good fit for one of them, having grown up surrounded by dragons in Itaphia. It was a promising opportunity, and Peren was immediately interested. Perhaps this was his way to finally take back control of his life, to win back the freedom he'd barely been offered in six years. He chose to challenge the Flame Dragon, and picked a contest he knew he could win at- a cooking competition. She accepted heartily- it was free food, and if it turned out terribly she could always just refuse to bond with him. The dragon went first, and, with a smirk, grabbed a whole sheep and exhaled her fire breath on it, charring the animal to a crisp. Peren only raised his eyebrows slightly, and grabbed his own beast to prepare. Though out of practice, the old art came back to him quickly, his fingers moved deftly as he prepared his gigantic meal. The Flame Dragon watched his every move keenly, the blackened sheep she had been gnawing on slowly growing less and less appetizing as the savory scent of the chef's meal met her nostrils. Once he finished, Peren presented the dish to the dragon, arranged somewhat messily but still far more appealing than burnt meat.
It was hardly a close match. The Flame Dragon heartily wolfed down her new meal, and agreed to bond with Peren, on the condition that he would cook more meals for her in the future. He accepted that deal, and the bond was forged. Now, his new life should have begun. However, it felt more like he was losing his freedom rather than gaining it back. Being forced into a training program under the old Riders didn't seem very appealing. Still, Peren hopes this will eventually lead him to a place where he is free to make his own choices again, now with his dragon by his side.
He always fights with twin daggers, and is quite adept at throwing them as well. He knows how to cook and forge weaponry, though he's definitely better at the former. He probably can make a killer meal out of nothing but dandelion tubers and salted meat. Despite this, Peren cannot bake to save his life. He's burned every loaf of bread he's placed in the oven.
Gherkin 7 xx Female xx 17'10" xx 58'5" Flame Dragon & Peren Talvace Gherkin's bright colors are reminiscent of a sunrise. Along her body, her scales take on an orangey-pink hue lined with stripes of bright blue, and accompanied by an underbelly of pale yellow. Her wings are colored in a steady gradient, transitioning from pale gold to dark red-violet. At the darkest point of the membranes, near the edge, the flame patterns marking her breed can be seen, sitting in light pink to contrast the darkness otherwise present. Despite her size, her horns remain relatively small, and almost blend into the typical ridge of black spines running along her back.
Although she would tell you otherwise, at her heart Gherkin is a lazy glutton. Her early growth spurt has given her a seemingly bottomless stomach, and if she could, she'd spend her days lying in a cave making Peren cook grand feasts for her. Unfortunately for her dreams, the rebellion has forced her into a more active role. Gherkin still tries to do the absolute minimum wherever possible, preferring to spend her spare time lying around in the sun. As such, she isn't incredibly strong either, a fact only somewhat obscured by her size. Despite these... setbacks, Gherkin isn't all bad. She is incredibly quick to forgive and forget, and never holds a grudge no matter how grievous the fault. Lying around also gives the dragoness plenty of time to observe others, and she's quick to catch onto others' personalities and quirks. She probably knows a few more secrets that she should, gathered from those speaking in front of her when they assumed she was asleep. Of course, she'd never reveal these... unless?
Gherkin's favorite food is sheep. I definitely picture her growing a bit more, probably ending up closer to 19' once she reaches ten.

Batcha Kendrick
human & vitality
Batcha is a gentle giant, 6' tall with a muscular physique that is, while far from slender or willowy, humane and graceful. She usually dons the thick winter gear normal amongst Traetol citizens, darker blacks and blues with snow leopard pelt, but in warmer climates she has a simple white linen shirt and sweatpants with a silver equipment sash between them. Her skin is a medium brown and she has a rounder, heart-shaped face and black eyes. Her hair is dark brown and cut at the shoulders, and she has bangs on the right side of her face that taper off just above the eyebrow. She has a few scars here and there from her survival training in the mountains of Traetol, her largest being a lightning scar that occupies the entirety of her back from when she was first learning the art of Vitality, and while her face is relatively clear her arms and legs are smattered with dark freckles from hyperpigmentation.
Most would expect Batcha to be quite hardened and grisly from her extensive training under mountaineers and her reputation as a Vitality fighter, and while it did have an irrevocable effect on her, she kept the gentle and peaceful mannerisms she's had since childhood. She's almost inexpressive in her benign nature, often silently watching conversations in a manner that those less familiar with her would call creepy and having a very neutral-toned voice. This is unintentional on her part, as she's had difficulty with social cues and recognizing the feelings of others since a very early age. She'll often traipse on the emotions of others by complete accident and won't realize unless pointed out, and she has a difficult time connecting with other people- surprisingly, an outlier to this happenstance in her life was her dragon Moulley, whom she had no issue bonding with almost immediately. Not only can she not identify the feelings of others, she has difficulty identifying her own, often getting tongue-twisted trying to describe what and how she feels, more sensing than intuitive. Knowing this about Batcha may lead one to think that she's not too keen, or perhaps too reliant on others to do her heavy lifting, but the opposite is true; Batcha is almost fiercely independent, having trained on her own since 16 and lived on her own since far before that, with iron willpower and very little room for lax judgement in her life. She's kind, and she believes in letting the world bend it's occupants, not the other way around. These virtues being spoken, she's also a bit volatile and mercurial, as most users of Vitality are, and will often ignore or repress others and herself if she strongly believes in a moral or ulterior motive.phose & climbing dragon (moulley)
Batcha was born and raised a Traetol child, and while she was still given the brutal soldier treatment that Traetol is reputed for, her parents were kindly and loving when they could be, something she considers herself very lucky for. Her parents were hard-working and sweet-natured, but they were also cowards, believing in other customs but not daring to humor them from fear of being caught. Both of them worked as goat farmers, and while food was stretched thin and warmth was scarce, they were happy as could be. Batcha's vitality began showing itself when she was a toddler, sparks flying from her little hands when she clapped and nearby firewood beginning to ember whenever she sneezed. Her parents were delighted by this, as while they were fearful, they were not naive; a strong daughter is a well-protected daughter, after all. Batcha performed averagely in her years of school and survival-education, finding it difficult to keep her attention on the various subjects and often electing to light snowflakes ablaze and watch them melt on her gloves instead. Most dismissed her as a simpleton, but a few more dedicated teachers would push her in ways that she'd later thank them for.
When Tyndall's uprising came about, Batcha's life shattered. Tatharen soldiers eventually invaded Traetol and those who dared oppose were slaughtered and suppressed by wave after wave of those loyal to the new throne. Her village was driven out by soldiers in need of their location for it's bastion, and her family was left with almost nothing. Batcha quickly took up earning in any way she could, and she found that the most successful manner of attaining money was through tournaments and battles. Traetol's deeply-ingrained warrior spirit had not been changed- if anything, people had leaned into it to cope with the invasions and uprising. Brutality and street matches were wildly cheered for and bet on, and Batcha learned that nothing drew people in better than fire. Her first few magical matches ended dreadfully- she was beat to the ground by much more competent and trained mages who actually knew how to wield their own powers. The ones after that were almost worse, as she started to get the hang of it in a way that made it glaringly obvious she was a beginner with easily manipulated weaknesses. But she persisted, seeing her parents every time she fell to the ground, and soon enough was able to hold her own. She was physically strong, fast in reflexes and able in form, so she just had to find a way to weave that with her magic. Her first few years were spent slowly crawling up the ranks in her hometown, fight after fight that sometimes ended with failure, and sometimes ended with victory, a bitter taste in her mouth either way. She resists enjoying it and still does to this day, but there were a few matches were the adrenaline and exhilaration caught up with her and ended more violently than she'd like to admit. Soon enough she was dominating the ring, and she moved up from her town, to Traetol, to Strouver and Itaphia, until her renown as a fighter was well past any city-state she had ever lived in. Her parents were happily cared for and she was excelling at her job, so deep in the money that she was almost beginning to forget that she hated it. And then, in her last fight, she struck herself with lightning. There are rumours going around that Batcha did it on purpose, that she intentionally halted her career from some ulterior motive. This is not true; the blinding pain that followed was a sensation that she can't even remember, yet never wishes to experience again. Her parents were deathly worried about her in the months that followed and her recovery took almost a full year, nursed to health in the safety of the goat farm that they had bought back with her earnings. Batcha was fully healed on the eve of her 24th birthday, and with a kiss on the cheek to each of her parents decided to set out on her own, finally able to separate herself from her origins. She's lived as a nomad since, though most of her time is spent in Phose, enjoying the art and happiness that seem prevalent there. She hadn't been active in the rebellion, a small seed of her parents fear living on in her heart, but she strongly believed in their cause. When she was given the offer to fight against the throne she was finally able to discard that generational fear, and she gladly accepted and has been serving the rebellion ever since.
Batcha still sometimes gets a deep ache in her back from her injury, and on these days its considerably more difficult for her to use her Vitality.
Moulley 7 xx male xx 7'10" xx 15'2"
climbing dragon & batcha kendrick Moulley is a larger member of his species, a lithe and muscular thing with a physique designed for ground travel. His scales are a deep mahogany dappled and mottled with various shades of green, from mint to cadmium, and his long talons are a deeper brown-black hue. The inner membrane of his wings are more colorful than the rest of his forresty appearance, their sunny yellow and duller blue & green scales almost mosaic in pattern. His wings and frills help bulk up his appearance, but when unfurled and pointed it's easy to see the slightness and mess of joints beneath. He is incapable of flight but makes up for it with deadly speed on land, and he can cover a lot of ground when gliding, though this often gives him an ache in the joints of his wings. He has brown eyes with green sclera.
Moulley is not a cooperative dragon. He was always resentful of being held tamed in a cage by Dragon Knights, and while he's certainly willing to go along with his human, he holds little loyalty to either side of their causes. He listens to Batcha, but barely, disliking being seen as anything but her equal and refusing to be used to prove a point. He's somewhat grumpy and unfriendly, but he is not callous, extending his kindness to those who need it and putting his grudges aside for the sake of maturity. He wouldn't hurt one of the Dragon Knights now, but quite a few of them have wounds from where he nipped or clawed at them during his training, and he's quite smug about this. Moulley puts himself and those he's loyal to above everyone else and would gladly describe himself as selfish.
Moulley speaks in a regal tone and his favorite foods are fish, squirrels, and blackberries.

Trys Falconsong 20 xx female xx heterosexual human & tranquility Trys is on the shorter side, barely reaching five feet in height, with a relatively slender, lithe build. Her hair is a soft gold that she prefers to keep long, trailing down past her shoulders in gentle waves. Her face is soft in shape, with a straight, proud nose, high cheekbones and full lips. Her eyes are a deep blue, framed by dark lashes. She often wears several of Shioโs molted feathers braided in her hair.
Trys is, at her core, a soft-hearted individual. She is far better suited to the delicate dance of politics, with words and wit as her instruments, rather than the instruments of war. She is, like the city she hails from, an artist, and the gentle nature of her soul reflects that. That is not to say that Trys is compliant, or biddable. She has a spine of steel, and knows her own worth in many situations, although like all she has some doubts and self-esteem concerns. She is just as content to watch and listen, as she is to take the lead, when situations call for it. Trys is remarkable at recognizing the strength of others. She is fiercely loyal, although she can sometimes be naive in believing that everyone has good intentions. She also has the problem of falling into the trap that she knows best at times.Phose & Wind Dragon Trys was born to a wealthy family in the heart of Phose, and was raised in a life where her greatest weapon was her musical talent and her sharp wit. She was never taught to do battle, nor wield a bladed weapon. She was quite the musical genius as a child, and was well-known through Phose for her skill with a fiddle's bow. When the war came to Edral, life drastically changed. As is often the nature of prolonged siege and war, music and the softer, finer things of life fell to the wayside almost immediately. Trys' relative wealth and family name saved her from the worst of the chaos, but when she was presented with the opportunity to join the rebellion she did not hesitate. Her weapon of choice may have been an instrument better suited to music rather than death, but she refused to let the take-over of her kingdom, her home, destroy all that she held dear. Joining the rebellion was, in her mind, her opportunity to ensure that those too young to remember Edral before, or those born after the siege, could experience the softer side of humanity.
Despite the fact that she is rudimentary at best with bladed weapons, Trys picked up the skills necessary to wield bow and arrow rapidly, and shows great promise. Her hand-to-hand combat style is fluid, tending to flow like water or air in between different forms and strikes.
Shio Wind Dragon & Trys Falconsong Like his bonded rider, Shio is on the smaller side for the typical Wind dragon, although this allows him to gain and maintain higher speeds. The predominant coloring of his scales is a dark grey, similar to that of a roiling thunder-cloud. At the base of his skull is the feathered crest that all Wind dragons have; Shioโs is a mix of gold and deep red feathers. The rest of the scales dotting his body are of the same coloring, blending into a mix of red and gold on his wings.
Shioโs predominant personality trait is somewhat flighty in nature, similar to his rider's. He'd much rather be chasing the jet streams in the sky than he would be engaged in aerial combat. He's wickedly intelligent and observant, although he can be a bit headstrong. He is not particularly a fan of following orders, nor is he totally devoted to the rebellion. The only thing that keeps him grounded is his rider, who he has a deep fondness for. He is fairly sarcastic and has a darker sense of humor.
Unlike most bondings, Shio and Trys did not bond in a test of combat. Instead, Sheo challened Trys to a series of three tests - a test of wit, a test of skill, and a test of will. For the test of wit, Shio presented Trys with a riddle:
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes out first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
When Trys gave Shio her answer, he conceded the first round. The second round, a test of will, Shio challened Trys to spend three days and three nights meditating on one question: Where does courage begin?
Three days and three nights later, Trys emerged from her mediation, and gave Shio her answer. He bowed to her victory in the second round.
Finally, for the test of skill, Shio challenged Trys to show him the skill she was most proud of. Trys fetched her fiddle, and played Shio a soft, lilting tune that had tears pooling in the great dragon's eyes. When her song ended, the bond between dragon and rider flared to life. It has remained strong ever since. |

๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ trys & shio also look good the only issue i found was that since trys is a shifter she wouldn't be able to access an pool of magic. if you wanted her to have tranquility magic you could make her human- or you could always make her half-shifter too. however she wouldn't be able to both shift & cast magic if that makes sense?
