Dryborgs: Dragon Cyborgs

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Gigatronthepwn on Thu Aug 06, 2009 6:34 pm

For hundreds of thousands of years, humankind has lived and both fear and awe of the most majestic, yet terrifying creatures ever to roam the earth, sky, and sea: dragons. The dragons often fought among themselves over territory and pride, leaving the land ravaged by the violence of their titanic clashes. Then at last, one day in the early tenth century, humanity had tired of living in fear. Now with the military power to oppose the dragons, and with the dragons themselves scattered and weakened by their own fighting, mankind pushed their oppressors to the brink of extinction, and so dragons faded away from history and became nothing more than the stuff of fairy tales.

Now the year is 2025. An expedition to find untapped oil reserves in Antarctica instead finds the frozen remains of what appear to be giant winged reptiles, almost perfectly preserved in the ice. A shadowy branch of the military takes notice of this and confiscates the remains, intending to thaw and reanimate the creatures they once were to create a new kind of super-weapon. But the bodies are too badly damaged to properly function as living creatures, and so they are imbued with mechanical parts and upgrades that will not only allow them to live again, but also make them more powerful than they were in their previous lives.

The upgrades are installed, the bodies are thawed, and now, after centuries of extinction, the dragons live again. But they are more than that now. They are dragon cyborgs: Dryborgs, as their creators call them. Confused and shocked by not only their new bodies but also by this new world they have awoken into, the Dryborgs ignore the commands given to them via the non-functional mind control chips implanted into their brains and escape their captors. Some are curious, wanting only to see the new world. Some only want to live peaceful and solitary existences. But some have unfinished business with each other and seek to continue their millenias-old feuds.

In this RP the player creates and controls up to two Dryborgs. You can roam peacefully, carry out your own agenda, or go on the warpath; the choice is your's. There is more at work here, higher forces hiding in the shadows, but we'll get to that later. For now, here are the rules and character fill-out.

RULES:
-The usual forum stuff (don't swear, play nice, et cetera)
-No god-modding other players.
-You can have up to two characters.

FILL-OUT:
Name: (Could be an ancient fantasy-sounding dragon name like Valarius, or a newly alloted robot death machine name like, say, Blackhole)
Gender:
Age: (Not counting the 1000 years you've been dead; dragons can live to about 1600 years)
Dragon Species: (The specie are: European, four legs, long neck and tail, two wings; Wyvern, two legs, two wings, long barbed tail; Asian, long serpentine body, four legs, mane and antlers; Amphethere, feathery serpentine body, only limbs are two huge wings; Lindworm, long serpentine body, only limbs are two front arms)
Equipment: (When the Dryborg upgrade was given, the dragons had high-tech weapons and equipment built into their bodies, like EMP emitters, force field generators, rail guns, grenade launchers, et cetera)
Appearance:
Bio: (Brief description of the characters personality and back story)

Once a few people join, I'll make an OoC. When we've got three or four players we'll start, and more people can join as we go along.
In ages of hate and raging swords / Along these gray plains so wild and cold
The armies of dragons, men, and elves / All stormed the dark gates of a thousand hells
And now we'll declare eternal war / To every damned new hellish lord

On the way to Ainor!

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby KuraiRyuu on Thu Aug 06, 2009 7:09 pm

I said I'd join, now I'm here :3 Hopefully this is ok.

Name: Naruzac (Nah-roo-zack)
Gender: Male
Age: 872
Dragon Species: European
Equipment: Energy wings (think Code Geass), Spear head tail, Force field Generator, Energy Cannon (fired from mouth)
Appearance: Dragon parts: 16 ft at shoulders, golden scales, silvery eyes, two horns twisted forward from his head; Machine parts: metal jaw, metal plated back, metal legs and tail
Bio: Rather suspicious of those around him, he is strong and loves to fight. He is grateful to the humans who inhanced his body, but he still would have never taken orders from them.
Before he was frozen, Naruzac was a fearsom leader of a great dragon pack. In a battle with another pack over Antartica, Naruzac was defeated and his body was mutilated. His tail, legs, and wings were torn from his body and he was left to die. But before he compleatly left this world he was frozen over and his body and life was preserved.

Name: Nightcut
Gender: Male
Age: 204
Dragon Species: Amphethere
Equipment: Energy wings, thermal sensors, night vision enhancement to eyes, acidic saliva (does not affect him at all)
Appearance: The top half of his body is compleatly mechanical, the bottom half is covered in feathers that have been perminantly burned black, his eyes are violet and natural.
Bio: Nightcut was given his name by the humans who brought him back to life and he was built specifically for spying and infultration. He has no memories of his life before him, but apparently his body was badly mutilated before he was frozen. He also as no idea why he was above Antartica in the first place (he is a Mexican Amphithere). He looks up to Naruzac.

Thanks for joining, Kurai.

Name: Grave Digger
Gender: Male
Age: 692
Dragon Species: Lindworm
Equipment: Drills that can tunnel through the earth at 70 MPH, Tail-mounted railgun that can shoot clear through solid steel, Short rang EMP emitter than can temporarily disable all electronics in a two mile radius.
Appearance: 20 feet long, bronze in color with dark brown stripes down his back, triangular head with a frill of small horns. One eye is organic and dark blue, while the other has a metal plate covering it. His hands have been replaced with drills that can unfold into grabbing claws. Tail is segmented titanium and his torso is protected by a metal shell with a set of tank treads on his underside to help him move.
Bio: Grave Digger remembers most of his life living in the Sahara desert, preying on camel caravans. He even remembers how he agreed to help another dragon pack with a skirmish against an enemy pack in Antarctica. He was flown there and deployed, but after the long and brutal clash he was destroyed. The only part of his former life that he can't remember is his real name, and so he has accepted the name the humans gave him, Grave Digger. Now on the loose in the sands of Nevada, he continues to hunt humans and their means of transportation for sustenance.

((Would you be open to humanity having mecha to counter the threat? This is funny, because I was imagining a mech pilot combating a spacefaring dragon beast last night just before going to sleep. I was even planning on creating an RP on a similar model. :3))

Sure, that would be acceptable. I was actually considering sort of the same thing at one point. Although just to clarify, these mecha aren't Dryborgs, and so cannot be playable. But if you want to be a Dryborg that sides with the human military, that's also fine.

Haha, its quite alright then. The idea is novel and fascinating, but I've just recently created my own roleplay. I think I would have too much trouble maintaining an RP and becoming a member in too many others. xD Thank you, though.

Fair enough, then. I'll just make another character to bump the thread and keep it running while other people join.

Name: Plague Bringer
Gender: Female
Age: 481
Dragon Species: Wyvern
Equipment: Radioactive breath, Venom-laced stinger on tail, Acid-spraying turret in forehead
Appearance: Swamp green skin with blood red spots on her back sides, tail barb replaced by a long blade tinted violet by the venom inside, eyes replaced by a bright blue visor highlighting the metal mask covering her face. Mounted on a metal slab covering her back is a jet engine to allow her to fly at Mach 2.
Bio: Grave Digger's mortal rival, Plague Bringer and him destroyed each other during that fateful battle in Antarctica. Knowing that if she has been revived and enhanced he probably has been as well, Plague Bringer has set out to hunt down and destroy her foe once and for all. She won't let anything stand in her way, vowing to settle old scores.
