Introduction
The castle stands tall and luminous by the docks, a constant reminder of the Dragon Lord. His vow is etched boldly on his family crest: Love, Valor, Harmony. They are the words every breathing citizen of the Kisetsu Archipelago is urged to observe and honor. Love your brother and protect him, Live a life of valor for all of your days and Grow in harmony with Mother Nature. Every man, woman and child knows the code and speaks the words in greeting as a way to remind their neighbors.
But the days of the code have long since passed and the Dragon Lord sits high in his castle, rarely leaving the safety of his halls. Some say he has grown old, senile and paranoid. Regardless the cause, his absentee leadership is causing a stir amongst those who would oppose the balance of cooperation. They see opportunity for a shift in power. Too long have they stood by and watched as the Dragon Breeders and elitists held all the wealth of the country. It is only a matter of time before they make their move.
The Kisetsu Archipelago
A cluster of islands located somewhere unknown to the rest of humanity
To most of the living world, dragons no longer exist, but the inhabitants of the Kisetsu Archipelago have kept their store of the valuable creatures hidden from the rest of society. The Elders of the islands spent countless hours strategizing ways to protect their homeland from being discovered. There are myths that old magic was used to make the waters around the borders hard to navigate and storm ridden. In many ways the island could be considered a prison, for just as it is difficult to get there, it is also dangerous to leave.
Autumn Island
Home of the Dragon Breeders
Of particular note, Autumn Island stands a notch above the rest. It is the capital of The Kisetsu Archipelago, home to the King and the last remaining Dragon Breeders. Currently its citizens are on the brink of a civil war. The two main outlets of production for the city, the Dragon Breeders and the Hunters, are at odds with each other. The Hunters have always harbored feelings of ill will toward the dragons and their masters for years, but now they have taken their disdain to new heights by storming the Dragon's Forest with flaming torches and sabers. The Dragon Breeders have come instantly to their coveted creatures' aid in a standoff that could end up destroying the entire way of life for The Kisetsu Archipelago.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
The setting changes from House of Sanoe to The Kisetsu Archipelago
Raina smiled as she watched the graceful creature dance through the air. It was a wonder how anyone could despise such beautiful animals, but there were those who made no secret of their disdain. At the thought of the arguments between her father and the head farmer, her mood was instantly sullied. Images flashed through her thoughts, reminding her of the fight that had broken out just weeks ago. It was the same argument they continuously revisited year after year. The head farmer, Kaleo Akoni complained about how the dragons got into his crops and Raina's father would remind him that no damage was caused. However for some reason or another, the heated exchange would continue until both were frustrated and exhausted from the effort.
She shook her head and stood, deciding it was time to go home. It was getting late and she had a long walk back to the Castle District, where a warm bed waited for her inside a welcoming two bedroom house. Her footsteps were quiet as she walked between the trees. She had learned long ago to tread softly so as not to startle the temperamental creatures of the forest. It was dark, but the moonlight supplied sufficient light for travel from its high position in the sky. She was sure of her footing, having trekked the same path so often, but she was quickly approaching something too small to see on the dark road of plodded earth. It caught her completely off guard when her foot hit a hard object causing her to trip and fall forward into the dirt. She cursed aloud as she sat up on her knees and felt around for what had caused her misfortune. Whatever it was felt hard and cool to the touch like dried sea sponge. She could tell it was an egg of some sort from having held so many in her lifetime. However any other details of the egg were kept hidden by the darkness.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
The journey home took hours, but Raina barely noticed in her excitement to return and get a better look at the egg. When she arrived at her house, the candles had longed burned out and the rooms were quiet save the sound of her father snoring. The hearth was still lit in the mainroom and she used the fire to light a candle as she took the few strides to her room. After shutting the door behind her she set the egg on her bed and proceeded to light more candles to get the room bright. After she was satisfied, she plopped down on her bed and took a closer look at the egg. It was red causing her to initially believe that a fire dragon was growing inside, however, upon closer inspection, she noted the speckles of black that dotted it surface, a feature she had never seen on any fire dragon egg. Her eyes widened and a grin quickly spread across her lips as she wondered if she had discovered a new species. All she could do now was wait for it to hatch.

The first thing that could have sent a stir was how frighteninly pale it was. Indeed the "dragon" had been so white that if it had been sleeping, one would have guessed in the egg itself. It looked soft, rubbery even, though this was mostly the case for young hatchlings. However, what did seem alot more off was the fact that it was still dragging itself along with its arms and for good reason too. This creature had no legs.
Instantly, it began to yelp for help, crying out as if crying to its mother. However, such things would perhaps not come for the more and more the creature yelped, the more it looked as though it was abandoned.
Its eyes struggled to peel open, glints of its red eyes peering through the narrow slits. It was looking at Raina . . .
Suddenly, its eyes opened and it began to stare up at her. It had red eyes and though it was a strange little animal, she found herself wanting to take care of it. Proceeding with caution, Raina held her hand out in front of the creature. She did not touch it or otherwise coax it into coming to her, but instead waited to see if it would trust her on its own. It was a show of friendship.

The feeling of dragon goop on her hand wasn't an abnormal sensation, so she brought the Wrinn to her face welcomingly. It was warm in her hand and she wondered to herself what it was.
As the creature looked at Raina lazily, it cooed and gurgled happily. For whatever reason, it seemed as though it was bonding fairly well to Raina. Suddenly, its mood changed as it struggled around. The drool and squeals were familiar, like that of a starving dragon asking for a meal.
Raina looked down at the creature worriedly. She wasn't completely sure if it was a dragon. What did little pale things eat, she thought to herself. Being as gentle as she possibly could she set the creature back down on the bed and hopped up to go to the kitchen. There was a pot of stew in the stove simmering lightly. Her mother had probably put it on before she went to bed so it would be ready some time the next day. The meat inside was still slightly raw and so she thought she would give it a try as many of the dragons she took care of ate meat. She headed back to the room and placed the small cube of beef on the bed in front of the Wrinn.
The wrinn tilted it head as it smelled the meat. Immediately it went for it, failing miserabely as it chewed the meat without any sort of teeth or cutting bits within its mouth. Its tiny arms tried to help, but they too were unable to do much. Luckily, the creature's efforts had dragged on to the point of actually wearing down the meat and it would soon be in its tummy in no time. The creature was smiling ... or at least, what could be percieved as smiling.
Raina laughed as she watched the little animal sucessfully eat the piece of meat. She was happy that she had been able to satisfy one of its needs. A yawn escaped her lips and she realized the hour was very late and it would soon be morning. There would be plenty of work to be done when the sun came up. The dragon breeders of Autumn Island were responsible for taking care of any newborns that were to be sold to the dragon riders. She would have to check that they were fed and practice riding with them so that they could get used to the weight of a person on their backs. She stood and blew out most of the candles, save for a few that would burn out on their own. After heading back to the bed she picked up the Wrinn and set it on the small table next to her bed on top of a clean towel. She hoped it have sufficient comfort as she leaned back on her bed and let her head rest on her pillow.

Of course, he wasn't an actual hunter ... kind of. Sure he was trained to take down dragons and locate them, but his speciality came from the intelligence side of hunting. He was the strategist that helped take down dragons as efficiently as possible with out the cost of losses. Better yet, he tried to do the same for the dragons, though that tended to have less success. Most of the men had a side to them that enjoyed hurting the dragons, and while Jay may have had a bad experience, he wasn't one to actively search out and thirst for their blood. Control, that was all that was needed, on both man and beast alike.
Gathering himself, he knocked on the door and letting fate decide what to do with him.
The hour was early, but Raina's mother and father sat at the small wooden table in the kitchen enjoying breakfast. They were surprised when there was a knock on the door, but her mother got up to see who it was anyway. When she opened the door the face of her daughter's best friend was staring back at her. She greeted him with a smile and said the three vows of their people--love, valor, harmony--out of habit. She stepped aside to let him in and offered him some quail eggs and toast.
Jay gave a nervous smile and shook his head. He was a bit too nervous to eat at the moment. He tried to avoid looking directly at both their eyes.
"I-is, Raina here?"
Raina's mother and father went back to their breakfast and whispered quietly amongst themselves. It had been a few months since Jay had stopped by, so they had thought the two childhood friends had gotten into some sort of argument. In her room, Raina was just starting to stir. She was used to getting up early out of habit and her body couldn't seem to let her get even a few minutes of extra sleep. Her long brown hair was in a messy side braid as she left her room in the clothes she had been wearing the day before. Her eyes were closed as she let out a huge yawn. When she opened them, Jay was staring back at her and she nearly jumped with fright.
"What are you doing here so early, Jay?" she asked a little harsher than she intended. He had stayed away for so long she didn't know how to react.
Raina's hard response gave Jay a slight scare. Truthfully, he had been expecting a venomous response, but he didn't expect it to be this rough. On instinct, he began rubbing at his necklace, but pulled his hand back when he remembered how silly it was. He had always done this when he was nervous, mostly because the necklace had come from Raina and how the necklace always reminded him of her. Obviously, the rubbing wasn't helping him at the moment.
"H-hey," Jay bit his bottom lip, "Long time no see . . ."
"Because of you..." Raina mumbled more to herself than him. She grabbed his arm and tried to head for the door. Her parents were staring at them with maniacal grins on their faces and it was annoying her to no end. "Come on. Let's get out of here so we can have some privacy."
"W-wha-" Jay was blushing as she pulled him out. Being terribely self conscious, both Raina's comment about being alone and her parents smiles had turned him into a sputtering mess.
However, once the door closed, Jay shut his mouth shut as he looked at Raina. He looked depressed and he certainly felt that way, but it was more of guilt than anything else

Weight:
Height:
Body build:
*Eye color:
*Skin tone:
*Hair color:
Distinguishing marks:
Usual fashion of dress:

*You could also use a face claim and forgo including the highlighted descriptors if the FC completely resembles your character.
Face claims can be human, anime, hand drawn... etc.
I will be adding the basic elemental dragons to the Dragon's Forest location. They will be fire, water, earth and air. If anyone wants to create a hybrid, just bring it up here so we can discuss skills and strength.
Re: Autumn Island: Land of the Dragon Breeders
1. How big are dragons, usually?
2. Do you have a specific format you'd like for character sheets? Or restrictions on how skilled or powerful they should be?
Re: Autumn Island: Land of the Dragon Breeders
As everyone picks what type of elemental dragon they want, I will add dragon profiles to the Dragon Forest District Thread
I think the dragon breeders should have more of a companionship than ownership relationship with the dragons. Although, they can be bought and used as pets/servants.
More things will be added overtime to the folklore as we proceed.
