Introduction
Dragon Country
Human's are born with one body and one soul. Centuries ago, that changed. There came a Human born with one body and half a soul. This Human was discontent, always lonely when in a crowd, never satisfied...never complete. He left and the towns thought him dead. Until one day he returned...with a Dragon...
This Human's name was: Isac Vandane. He brought about a new age through a time where Dragon's were tyrants of the sky, Humans were tyrants of the land and mother nature still claimed the sea. Dragons were merciless, warm blooded creatures with only the sense to kill. It wasn't until Isac was born that a connection was discovered between Humans and Dragons. He tried to show others that Dragons were just misunderstood but it was difficult to show something that couldn't physically be seen.
When Isac died many thought that would be it but it seemed the gene went on. Others were born with half a soul and thus the time of dragon riders began.
After a long time of uncertainty a Haven was established in the mountains for those who had a connection with Dragons. Those who rode dragons, those who tamed them...and unfortunately those who slayed them. The image to the right is of the school in the mountains --->
These are the Humans born with half a soul. The other half of their soul resides within a dragon. Sometimes the Dragon's aren't even born yet, sometimes they are...If these individuals ever want to feel complete they must find their dragons and connect with them.
Dragon riders of course must learn to ride their dragons, and their dragons must learn how to treat their riders delicately- they must adjust to one another.
Dragon riders and their dragons have a telepathic connection that can only be expressed between the two of them. No one else can hear their thoughts.
Dragon Riders oppose Dragon Slayers- those who have yet to find their dragons curse the dragon slayers who could well Slay their dragon without even realising it!
These are the Humans who have one soul but have decided to dedicate their lives to study of Dragons in hope that a connection can be established between man and Dragon even without sharing souls. Dragon Tamers do their best to tame wild Dragons and make them civilized- they teach them a very basic sign language so that they can communicate. Its a dangerous job as some dragons cannot be reasoned with but there are a surprising number who are quite civil to begin with.
Dragon Tamers oppose Dragon Slayers for killing off wild dragons who have just as much right to fly the skies and exist as any 'half soul' dragons.
These are the Humans born with half a soul who have taken on the profession of Slaying wild Dragons. They are just like the Dragon riders apart from the fact they must already have their dragon and be efficient riders before becoming Slayers. Dragon Slayers oppose Dragon Tamers and think they're foolish trying to reason with wild dragons and trying to understand them. They believe only the dragons that share souls with humans are to be understood- the rest are mere animals.

I dont want 10 of the same thing! If theres too much of one kind I will get in a grump and close that kind of dragon.
If you'd desperately like another type of Dragon with an ability that fits in with those below but isn't listed please ask either me or Silver to look at your idea and I'm sure we'll accept it.
All Dragons are warm-blooded but their skins/scales may feel different.
Dragons of Air:
Its colour is pure yellow. Their skin is considered warm and moist. This dragon is all about the essence of speed. Incredibly fast and sleek it can fit through smaller gaps compared to other dragons and outfly them but cannot necessarily outfly their abilities. Can fly higher than any other dragon. Must eat often as it burns up alot of energy.
Dragons of Earth: |
Its colour is clear, dark green. It's skin is cold and dry. This dragon uses Earth to its advantage eating/ grinding up rocks etc giving it the ability to spurt out sand from a gland in its throat. Dragon can become ill if a large amount of water gets into its sand gland, fatally ill if it consumes wet rock.
Dragons of Wind, Storm, and Weather:
They tend to be pale yellows and pale blues, but change to angry red-orange, purple, or black when they call up storms. It's skin is cold and dry. This dragon can have one of the following abilities;
1-Can create electrical currents within its body therefore spurting out lightening from its throat.
2-Can create a considerable about of wind which comes out like a roar.
3-Can induce rain with a thunder like sound in the back of its throat. (sound breaks into rain clouds causing them to burst) This Dragon becomes tired easily no matter what ability it has.
Dragons of Fire: |
Its colour is pure red; it's skin is considered warm and dry. This dragon consumes fatty meats and can spurt fire from a gland in its throat. Cold weather can make this dragon ill and prolong coldness could be fatal.
Dragons of the Seas and Various Waters: |
They are a variety of shades of blue, from silver-blue to dark blue-green. In fact, their shades cover all the hues of the water. Its skin is considered cold and moist. This dragon can create large amounts of water from its spit gland and spurt it out from their throat. Can spurt out the equivelent to a large lake before it must drink again to rehydrate. Dehydration can make it very ill and may even be fatal.
The Haven is for Dragons riders and Tamers alike who want to learn and reside in peace away from the scared and angry human race. They're here by choice and recommendation.
Docking area: A wooden dock built beside the Haven to hang over the mountain edge. Strong and study it allows for Dragons to perch upon it so Riders can mount their Dragons. The Docking area will have beginners saddles etc close at hand.
Dorms:
Hatchling Dorms- These dorms are specifically for the students who have either dragon eggs or recent hatchlings. Usually noisy and rather chaotic those without hatchlings etc would never find a wink of sleep. Those with dragon eggs are in this dorm also due to the fact that they are expecting a hatchling at any time and it would be more hassle and trouble to move them from one dorm to another once the dragon has hatched.
Regular Dorms- These dorms are specifically for those who have Dragons that no longer reside within Haven i.e they've outgrown the rooms!
Rooms- Most rooms should contain, a wooden bed, writing desk, side table, chest for clothes, a large window and a candle set. (Can add homely adjustments just keep in mind the setting)
Washroom: The washroom is practically shared between the residents, men and women enter through the same archway but there's a single stone wall that seperates the female side from the male. Shower's dont exist so if someone wants a bath they must collect a bucket from the washroom and hike on down to the hot springs a little further down the mountain to collect wash water. Or you could just wash in the hot springs on risk of getting seen.
Tutor rooms: These rooms will be decorated with various maps, diagrams etc relating to what you're being taught as well as a black board with chalk. They will also contain long wooden tables that will comfortably seat up to 6 students. Will probably contain a wooden bookcase with books and scrolls relating to what you're learning about.
Great hall: This is where everyone comes together to eat, with several long tables set up with benches beneath. Teachers and students alike will come here for their two main meals of the day- one in the morning, one in the evening. (Anything you eat between that time is to be found by you) There's a small kitchen with a three NPC man staff.
Technology wise the setting is stereotypical medieval, with horses being the main form of transportation, bows and arrows, swords and shields, BUT some of the more advanced countries have made some strides. Especially with dealing with the dragon threat: cannons, some of which shoot nets, mechanically propelled spears, maybe the extremely rich have gas lamps etc

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 10 authors

She looked at him, hearing a strange tone in his voice as he mentioned that 'Tamer' was cooler than 'Bonder', and cocked her head slightly to one side. Seeing that he wasn't going to explain it, she decided not to ask. Instead she looked around at her settings, at some points leaning back slightly to see upside down, which made her laugh.
"Where are we going?" she asked finally, a very small note of worry in her question. When she didn't know where this guy that she had just met was taking her, she had suddenly got a sinking feeling in her gut that this could possibly be a prank concocted by the other students and Zain was taking her to her doom. She tried her best not to think this and tried to trust that Zain was not part of some evil prank, but that feeling in her stomach wouldn't go away.

"I thought I would watch your lesson with the students this morning."
Vincent turned around, wondering who would address him as such. It couldn't be one of his students. Batoru would have singed the tops of their heads for their insolence. He turned to find himself looking at the Slayer Mira and her dragon. Slayer. Those kind disgust me. I don't want one of them to observe us. They could use it against us someday. Batoru's tone in his mind was restrained anger and mistrust. Vincent felt similarly, if not exactly the same. Vincent crossed his arms before addressing Mira. Batoru's chest glowed slightly brighter. It was a habit when he was preparing for an encounter.
"Do what you want. You are a member of this place as much as I, though I'm not as trusting."

Rathan snarled low in his throat and his chest began to glow as his anger grew and he took a step forward with his head forward and teeth bared. Mira knew that words would not calm him and so she slapped him hard on his flank, it was not hard enough to hurt him but forceful enough that it distracted him for a moment. He swung his head round and snapped at Mira. It showed just how angry he was for he cared for no one else like he did Mira and she knew that when he calmed he would be guilty and apologetic. But first she had to get him away and calmed down before things got any further out of hand. She slapped him again and glared at him in warning making it clear she would not tolerate him harming her.
Enough Rathan! She said firmly. Calm yourself
I want to kill him! Rathan snarled and his voice was loud and painful in her mind. She winced but persevered repeating what she had said and slowly she felt him calming somewhat. He was still angry but she was confident that he would not harm anyone.
After a moment she looked at Vincent. "It appears this this was an error in judgement, it will not happen again. I apologise for the disturbance, I will leave you to your lesson and if I...see any of your absent students I will remind them where they should be."
Mira did not apologise easily and it was even more difficult knowing that the instructor would most likely scorn the apology but Mira was determined not to make her life any more difficult there than it already was. She nodded at him before urging Rathan once more up into the sky, he gained altitude quickly beating his large powerful wings strongly. Mira turned him towards the mountain giving him free rein to fly as wildly as he wished knowing he needed to work the aggression out of his system.

Which is frankly why I only join 1x1 RPs nowadays. At least then you always know where you stand; either the other person is posting or their not, and if you're having a good engagement with one other player then it can't be ruined by a couple of other people who can't be arsed.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Country
Please post guys! I'm really enjoying this rp and I want it to continue.

I'm still working on the history section and my intro post but I really like this rp and I want them to be perfect :D.
I will try to get them done today but I'm not promising anything.

Re: [OOC] Dragon Country
As for the Slayers, they don't have to take the riding lessons. Its assumed they know everything that can be taught and just need to refine themselves through practice. They can, however, attend anyways to practice, go over old lessons, or perhaps help the teachers as aides.
And I totally made that up right now, using my Co-GM powers.
And I lied about posting yesterday. I got kidnapped for a drinking party. It was the first time I drank and needless to say, I couldn't post.
I'll work on my post if my boss stops walking behind me >>
