The Rise of AngerThe mighty Gold Dragon Garonthir, of the Blue Dragons, managed to slay the three Lords of Decay, one hundred years ago. Now, with no new Gold Dragon in sight, the Blue Dragons face their next challenge. The Disciple of Rage is stirring trouble in the southern slums, banding together with the remnants of the Lords of Decayâs vast army. The current Silver Dragon, Sade, must gather all his wits about him and lead the Dragons against the Disciple and save the world once more. But who will emerge forth to be named as the Gold Dragon? Or will the Disciple triumph and lay waste to the northlands?
The Disciple raised his head, the ram skull he wore as a helmet casting a foreboding shadow upon the sodden lifeless earth that most of the southern slums sported. He glanced over his assembled generals and warlords. Snorting, he turned to face the great north-south divide. It was easily identifiable, as the huge ridge of mountains defined it, with Deathpeak rising out of them like a behemoth amongst ants. They were visible even from the most northern point, to the deepest south point. He turned back to his generals, the bleak sunlight glinting off his waraxeâs sharp teeth.
âToday!â He bellowed in a disturbing and harsh baritone voice. âWe march! Tomorrow, we conquer! Then, when all the preparations are made! WE DECIMATE THE WINGED LIZARDS!â The words had barley left his scarred lips when the generals roared out in agreement. Spurring all the forces assembled into action, joining in with the mighty war cry.
âRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEE!â There are three factions available: (I suppose you could be a civilian, but that would get boring.)
The first faction is the Blue Dragons. The Blue Dragons are a military group who protect the people of the northlands. They are the good-guys. Despite the name âBlue Dragonsâ they are not all blue and none of them are Dragons. The organisation got its name from the bulk of the army and the decorative armour they wear. An Initiate of the Blue Dragons will enter as a Blue Dragon, the most common sight in the army, named so because their armour is a rich blue colour. There are 14 different colours, each with a unique skill or ability.
The colour refers to their armour. All armour is the same standard design of the Blue Dragons. Full enclosed plate armour. The helmet always sports a pair of Dragon wings; these are purely for decoration and have no real other use. Some armours differ, these will be stated in the description. These are the 14 colours/ranks:
Blue â Standard troops. Good training in either Melee or Ranged (Not magic)
White â Wizards/Warlocks, skilled in one of six different elements. Capes correspond to the magic they can use. Can also have knowledge of Melee with staff or Bo.
¡ Fire â Red
¡ Water â Blue
¡ Air â Green
¡ Earth â Brown
¡ Light â Yellow
¡ Darkness â Purple
Dark Blue/Navy â Veteran troops. Quite common, even further skilled in either Melee or Ranged (Not magic)
Orange â Healers and medics. Have expert surgical knowledge and have training in basic Melee with daggers. They can use minor Light magic to heal patients. They donât wear gauntlets so they can work easier with their hands.
Red â Specialised units. Uncommon, they are extremely skilled in one weapon of their choice in Melee or Ranged (Not magic)
Black â Executioners/Judges. Very Rare, (Limiting to 2). They are the Dragonâs justice system. They are skilled in one weapon, the executionerâs great axe. They have full authority over most others, except other Black, Silver, Grey Dragons and the Gold Dragon. Their armour tends to be less ornate than the standard Blue design and they have larger shoulder guards. Typically they are male and at least 6â 4â. They are hugely devoted to their job and tend to always be serious and vigilant.
Yellow/Tan â Scouts, skilled with Ranged weapons. They travel light; using more chain mail than the standard Dragon plated armour. They also have basic knowledge with daggers and short swords.
Green â Siege experts. Very Rare, (Limiting to 2). They are the most skilled in siege warfare, how to execute a successful siege, how to break a siege upon a friendly castle or village. They have expert knowledge in siege weapons such as cannons, mortars, siege ramps, siege towers, ballistae, mangonels, siege rams, onagers and trebuchets.
Silver â Only one, He/She is the current head of the Blue Dragons. (Sade, played by Me.)
Grey â Only Twelve, they are the wise counsel that aid the Silver and Gold Dragons in their decisions. (Cannot be RPâed as. All of them are NPCâs)
Gold â Only one, the greatest warrior who ever lived. Expert knowledge in Melee fighting, adept knowledge of Ranged weapons and can use Light magic with ease. The first Gold Dragon was Garonthir, who single-handedly defeated the Lords of Decay over a hundred years ago. Currently, the next Gold Dragon has not revealed him/herself. Despite being a hero, the Gold Dragon still uses standard pattern armour to show humility. (Will be chosen by me.)
Teal â Specialised in warfare of water. Rare, (Limiting to 3). They represent all things nautical and have knowledge of the difference between a boat and a ship, plus all things in-between. They sometimes have Bi-corn hats with Dragon wings printed on the front instead of a helmet.
Maroon â Masters of their chosen weapon. Very Rare, (Limiting to 2). They are the veterans of Red Dragons in effect. They generally lead small groups of troops on special missions or stay back and train new recruits.
Pink â Special faction for females. Same as Blue Dragons, but the only difference is only females can join the Pink faction. They can opt to wear a plate skirt and chain mail leggings instead of the standard plate legs.
The Blue Dragons have belief in three Gods: Oracle, God of Order and Justice, BÃĻomoth, God of Chaos and War and Giirito, God of Nature and Joy. Oracle is believed in by most of the northland people, especially the Black Dragons who serve him with great zeal and unwavering determination. BÃĻomoth is usually worshiped by people of the southlands and Red, White and Navy Dragons, but for different reasons. The southlanders pray to him for deliverance from the ostracizing northlands and revenge on them. The Dragons pray to him to guide their weapons in battle. Giirito is usually worshiped by innocent citizens, Farmers and Yellow Dragons.
Dragon's NPCâs:
The Grey Council: (M = Male, F = Female)
1. Fucasou â Leader (M) Has unlocked the key to immortality, is the single most respected Dragon ever. He resides in a magically locked vault that only council members and Sade can open using their soul pattern. (Only Grey Council members and Sade can approach him)
2. Kanakuru â Strategist (M)
3. Ryker (M)
4. Aatu â Archivist (M)
5. Sisu â Scholar (M)
6. KotarÅ (M)
7. Marumokumba â Riddle Master (M)
8. SÃēno â Subterfuge (F)
9. Exzu (M)
10. Hyali (F)
11. Suhmon (M)
12. Ermuul (M)
Sade: The Silver Dragon, Late 30âs, stern and serious but fair.
The second faction, is the Army of Rage, led by the Disciple of Rage (Played by me.) and you can follow under him as a General or Warlord (You could be a standard soldier, but they are unskilled peasants who will most likely be slaughtered during battle.) The Disciple had a troubled childhood due to the scourge of the Lords of Decay, he grew up hating everything and solving everything with violence. He ended up killing his own parents and most of his classmates before being banished from his village. Later on in life he banded together with the remnants of the Lords of Decayâs army and destroyed his home village. Now, even older, he has gained a huge following and plans to annihilate the Blue Dragons out of pure enmity. The bulk of the Warlords and Generals will be the skilled champions of Decay that loyally followed their Lords until they were slain, so now they pledge allegiance to the Disciple. They tend to fear him for his brutality and sheer size, but will gladly backstab each other for a better rank amongst the army.
Rage's NPCâs:
General Loamhorn: Headstrong and arrogant, the Disciple's right-hand man
Warlord Krath: Conniving and commands respect, the self-acclaimed most skilled human from the southern slums, is the right-hand man of Loamhorn.
Slavemaster Makz: Sadistic and cruel, looks over all the slaves taken in by the army.
The third faction available is The Temple of The Shadow. They are a cult of assassins with minor darkness magic capabilities, such as small illusions or temporary invisibility. They worship the Shadow Lord who resides in his Shadow realm with his people, the Suokavqem. The Suokavqem may leave the realm but cannot stay out permanently. The Shadow Lord cannot enter the mortal realm, he is a God and his voice will be played by me (I canât have a God running amok in the role-play now can I?). They can be hired by the Army of Rage to do certain tasks; the Blue Dragons are not on good terms with the Temple since they worship an evil deity, but as of yet, have started no wars or committed any major crimes.
Temple's NPCâs:
Night father Kikoliath: Zealous and wise in an insane way, the current chief priest of the cult.
Lady Assassin Kiyomi: Warm and approachable, despite her personality, she is credited as being the most deadly assassin in the cult with the most number of successful assassinations and heists.
If you have any questions so far, please refer to the Interest Check thread here:
the-rise-anger-interest-check-t36297.html Some of your questions could be answered already. If they are not, donât hesitate to ask.
Ok if you are still with me, here are the rules:
1) No godmodding, just donât.
2) No one liners, Iâm not asking for an essay each post, but one paragraph should be good enough. (I am aware that sometimes there will be exceptions.)
3) Stay in character. All OOC should stay in the OOC thread.
4) Have fun. Very important that one.
5) Donât kill off other peopleâs characters without permission.
6) Donât control other peopleâs characters, there are NPCâs around if you need someone to use.
7) No one is the perfect fighter. Not even the Gold Dragon. You will take some damage from time to time, even if itâs just a small cut. This is heavily revolving around war, blood will flow.
8) Romance is allowed, but make sure itâs PG-13 and in the appropriate places. You wouldnât randomly start flirting in the middle of a pitched battle.
9) Try to have some sense of spelling. It only takes five seconds to copy it into to Microsoft word or equivalent and do a quick check. I'm not too bothered about grammar as long as it's not too bad.
All right, and if you have managed to read all that, congratulations. Here are the skeletons. If you want to add any fields you feel are appropriate and would add to your character, go ahead. I will allow you to reveal background story during the RP if you so wish.

Right. *Deep breath* Now that all that is out of the way, here are the characters I will be playing.

Rank: Red Dragon
Skills: Very skilled in Melee with a Longsword
Weapon(s): A Longsword and kite shield
Height and Weight: 6â 1â and 89kg
Bio: Born in the northlands, his father and mother were both in the Blue Dragons and he was trained from the age that he could hold a weapon, he was a rare case in that he skipped the initiate stage of being a Blue Dragon and went straight in as a Red Dragon. His father is currently a Black Dragon and his mother is currently an Orange Dragon. His trainer is Ermuul.
Appearance out of armour: He has short spiky brown hair with deep blue eyes. He is an average build with slight arm muscles and a washboard stomach. He tends to stay in his armour most of the day but when he isnât he usually wears t-shirts and trousers.

Age: unknown
Position: Head of the Army of Rage
Skills: Expert in hand-to-hand fighting and close combat with axes
Weapon(s): His fists, three small hand axes and one two-handed waraxe with metal teeth.
Height and Weight: 7â and 121kg
Bio: A troubled childhood due to the scourge of the Lords of Decay, he grew up hating everything and solving everything with violence. He ended up killing his own parents and most of his classmates before being banished from his village. Later on in life he banded together with the remnants of the Lords of Decayâs army and destroyed his home village. Now, even older, he has gained a huge following and plans to annihilate the Blue Dragons out of pure enmity.
Appearance: He wears no armour. He has brick red eyes and is bald. His body is adorned with tattoos and scars, and he uses a white pigment to dye his face. He wears the feathers of the last phoenix as a cape and the fur of the last griffin as trousers. He also wears the skull of a ram as a helmet. The Disciple is a fearsome sight to behold.
I will also play the voice of the Shadow Lord. He doesnât need a skeleton but Iâll explain his voice. When he speaks itâs in a deep bass tone with that effect that sounds like someone breathing in before starting his sentences and it has two echoes, one that sounds like whispering and one that is even deeper than his original voice. Iâm sure youâve all heard something similar, and if you haven't, thatâs the best I can explain it.
(We will not need any Generals, Warlords or Temple Assassins to start, but feel free to play as them anyway.)So get the creative juices flowing and bring an amazing character to the table.
