The Art of Dragon cooking


“Riley, gosh! 'ave you heard wha' ad happened? Sumthin' like this hadn't happened for all a six year an' everyone is all excited an' all da'!

An wha tha' be Karrey?

Wha' d' ya mean "An wha' tha' be"?! Gosh Riley! Di' you get dropped on tha' ead? Wun of tha...tha draguns died! Ya know, tha’ big lizad thin’ we saw the otha day? We ought ta get sum gewd pikins outta dat, eh Riley!?

Oi, Karrey...An ya thin’ I was drupped on the 'ead…”


In the country of Lanmi, large, strange beats roam the grasslands and mountains. They are worshipped by the local people and are called 'Dragons'.
Three species of Dragons occupy Lanmi.

There are the BuTai Dragons, the ones that roam underground and ambush their prey. They diet on cattle and elephants. They travel in large groups in tunnels that they dig. They are similar to trapdoor spiders in which they hide underground waiting for prey to get near enough so they can snatch them up and feed on them. They are about as long as twenty carriages, and are about ten feet wide.

There are the NinTai. They roam the skies and snatch their prey from the sea. They diet on large sea serpents, other dragons, and sharks. They are solitary animals. They are 200 feet long and about 25 feet wide.

Also live the KiuTai. They are the smallest and they live on the land. They feed on deer and the occasional alligator. They are twice the size of a large horse.

Dragons are not allowed to be killed, harmed, or captured. They are allowed to roam free and live long lives.
However, when the time comes that one dies naturally, it is both glorious and sad.
Sadness instills the hearts of all around it, for these creatures are so wonderful and full of life, that when the light of its life has flickered out, it's like the sun has been blown out itself.
Glorious, because it brings bountifulness to the land after the grief has passed and the light has been relit: where famine had been left behind, only feast remains for months on end.

None of the dragons’ body parts are allowed to be wasted.
Everything, to the last piece of digested matter in the dragons’ stomach, is used.
Armour and jewellery is made from the scales.
Weapons from the teeth and horns.
Garments and rope from hair.
And, the most important and cherished:

The meat.

There's an important role for the meat of a dragon. It is sacred meat, and if handled rudely, there is a harsh penalty.

'Waste nil: Use the lot’ is the code of dragon cooking.

Every time a dragon dies, there is a competition to see who can make the best armour, jewellery, weapons, and dish, out of the dragon. The winner of each separate competition gets to work for the royal family, and becomes inconceivably wealthy.
And this year the emperor has his oath on one more thing. It is a secret, but he promises it will be...more than pleasant.


Additional information:

-A group of people, who prefer to call themselves “Bark”, resent this competition. They see it as a disgrace toward the dragon, and believe the body should be burned and let into the wind, or else left in the wilderness to rot. Some plan to burn the whole competition and it competitors with it, though, others have…more dastardly plans in mind.

-Many people are up to steal parts of the dragon for their own gain to sell in the Red Trade, a forbidden marketing between outside countries who also crave the meat. It is called the Red Trade because of the amount of forbidden meat is

-Scattered dragon hunters have banded together, calling themselves the Dakka. They do so to improve their chances of killing dragons and getting away with this crime. At times, they work with Bark, but the two groups usually have disagreements with one another. Dragon hunters are the main suppliers of the Red Trade.

-Sirens: The counter group to the Dakka, they are the appointed “enforcements” of the Emperor to stop dragons being hunted.

-Technology is not advanced. Cars are not yet developed, and instead you must grovel and cope with horses and carriages. No air conditioning, but windows. Showers do not exist: only public baths similar to that of the Greeks on earth.



Rules:

-Typical rules such as no Godmodding, no this and that and such…

-No…mary…sues…I swear…I will hurt you!

- If you would like to be part of the Dakka, Sirens, Red Trade marketers, or the Bark, please PM me. There is secret info you must get that you shall tell no one else...otherwise, the roleplay might not be fun.
(Not that we neccesarily need any of those characters, currently)

-No less than a paragraph for each post. A five-sentence paragraph, that is. You are more than welcome to do so much more!

-Dynamic characters are the best characters! Don’t just make that Emo dude that does not like to talk to anyone! Make him that Emo kid with a few quirks!

-Also, stick with your character…as in, that character is not going to be loyal to a person their whole lives, then all of a sudden in three minutes hate that person and try to kill them. Things take time, so use it to your advantage! Especially when it comes to love…

-Use foreshadowing when fighting or interacting with someone else’s character. Instead of saying “Mark tripped him and he fell on the ground.” Which is a no-no, say “Mark went to trip him so hard he would fall onto the ground.” This is highly acceptable! And it makes for good writing!

-Descriptive compliments, descriptive compliments, descriptive compliments! An absolute must! Don’t go up to another character and say “He saw a girl.”
NONONONONOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Describe that girl! Describe how her golden locks lap over her shoulder like a cascade of water, or how her eyes were so brilliant a green that it could light up a dark room… don’t be afraid to make exaggerations!

"'I'm bored' is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of. And even the inside of your own mind is endless. It goes on forever inwardly. Do you understand? Being the fact that you're alive is amazing, so you don't get to be bored."

-Louis CK
