Introduction
Dragons.
We all know they don’t exist. They are just the fairy tale antagonist that keeps the prince from the damsel or the hero from the treasure. They are big things with wings that fly around and breath fire and just generally make a nuisance of themselves until someone comes along to slay them. Definitely not real.
Right?
Well… Not exactly. To the general public, dragons don’t exist. But that doesn’t make them any less real. It was only 600 years ago that humans confirmed that dragons are, in fact, real. Oh, you won’t find that in any history textbook or Wikipedia page (except perhaps the conspiracy wiki), but trust me when they say they are very real. Real enough that on-and-off war has waged between the humans and the dragons
Yeah, war. Is it so hard to believe that there was a war and no one noticed? Okay… Maybe it is. But it happened. The human side did its best to keep the war silent and unknown, and it did a pretty good job of it. How do I know that? Well, we are having this conversation, aren’t we? These medieval humans were both clever and powerful to pull off a stunt like a secret war. They were the start of the Dragon Hunters.
We finally got there; the Dragon Hunters. They were founded sometime in the 1400’s, amidst a veil of secrecy. The monarchs and even some of the nobles knew of the group, and it was thanks to royal wealth that the Hunters survived to become the longest active and also the first international non-religious organization in history. Anyway, the kings and queens would pay the Hunters to keep dragons from ravaging their lands (quite a big threat back then). Using a combination of magic, weapons, and shear willpower, the Hunters waged a defensive war against the dragons for the next 500 or so years, only stopping for the temporary truces that rarely lasted more than 5 years. Even in the 1900’s, the Hunters still fought bitterly against the dragons to keep human civilization intact. Then, things changed with the 1930’s.
We all know what happened between 1933 and 1945. What most people don’t know is that it marked the first time dragons and humans fought on the same side. Hitler made a contract with a large group of radical dragons that wanted to take land and form their own open country. Hitler offered them a deal that they would fight for him and he would grant them land once he had taken the globe. The dragon splinter jumped at the opportunity, and thus began an unholy alliance that almost changed the fate of the world.
Ever wonder why the Germans were able to move so quickly across Europe? Part of it was due to his excellent armored troops, but another part was due to the dragons on his side. They could be used as almost any type of unit, from an armored behemoth to a nigh-on invincible aircraft to a deadly submarine. Ask some of the old allied pilots, especially the British ones; some of them might have stories of confronting beasts in the skies and engaging in great aerial duels. Any pilot who tangled with them will tell you of their sharp movements, impossible agility, and massive (and literal) firepower. It is almost harder not to recognize what they fought than to forget about it.
Luckily for the world, however, Hitler wasn’t the only one to ally with the dragons. Once they realized that they were under attack by a group of their own, the dragons broke into virtual civil war. With the radicals allied with Hitler, the conservatives chose to throw their lot in with the Allied forces, knowing that it was the only hope of defeating the Radicals now that they had allies in the Axis. The fighting was fierce, that was for sure. Dragons and Dragon Hunters fought now under the same banner, if only temporarily, to keep balance in the world. They had parts in battles major and minor in all theaters, whether the history books recorded it as such or not. And eventually, at the cost of millions of lives, human or otherwise, peace was finally one. And not just peace with the Germans.
After fighting alongside each other, the Dragons and the Hunters had realized something; they really weren’t all that different. Both had their reasons to fight, be them fame, family, or otherwise, and both sides found that they could not only tolerate, but even enjoy each other’s company. Soon after the war, the newly formed United Nations absorbed the Dragon Hunters into themselves to form a sort of supernatural world police. In fact, the Hunters had even become a joint operation between the humans and dragons, and for the first time in history, dragons and humans fought alongside each other as not just allies but as comrades, looking out for the interests of the world, or at least as the Hunters viewed them. It’s too bad it did not spread to the rest of both cultures.
Even if they were officially at peace, humans and dragons mixed about as well as oil and water. Each side though the other inferior to themselves, and, naturally, this caused some tension and disagreements. There are always one or two groups out there trying to take the other race down a peg. That is why the Dragon Hunters still exist (although I honestly don’t know why they are still called that). They keep the peace between species and take down anything that threatens the balance. In other words, they are a glorified police agency. Um… don’t tell any of them that I said that, alright?
Wow, I’ve been going on for a while now and I haven’t even mentioned the different types of dragons, have I? Well, better late than never, right?
First I’ll give you some standard info about all types of dragons. All dragons have some form of “breath,” be it fire, ice, water, or anything like that. Sometimes it is just “wind breath,” but even that can make faster than 200 mph gales, depending on the dragon and species, which is nothing to take lightly, even if it can’t fry you. Second, dragons learned long ago how to shift themselves down into human form. In fact, many dragons choose to live like this in groups so they don’t take up inordinate amounts of space. Why live as a 60’ long dragon all the time when you can be a 5’ something humanoid that can both use the powers and transform back to the big ass dragon at will? Yeah, you can see why they do it now. Oh, and the average lifespan of a dragon can be upwards of 1000 years; hence why they are known for carrying grudges. Now let’s get to the types of dragons.
First off is the Western Dragons. Yeah. The ones that everyone outside of Asia thinks of when they think dragon. They breath fire, have four legs, two wings, tremendous size, and come in almost any color of the rainbow. They are obviously based in Europe, although a group of them split off long ago to fly out to “the New World.” Meaning there are two groups of western dragons; the ones in Europe lead by a king and queen, and the ones in the Americas led by their president. And they say they learned nothing from humans…
Next will be the Wyverns. Wyverns are from Africa, and are strong and proud. They have two legs, two wings, large size, and insane strength, even for a dragon. They usually have muted greens or browns, although the tribes that live in the Sahara and the Kalahari tend to have tan shades for scales. Their “breath” can be either a weaker fire than Europeans or a weak wind, which would be around 50mph. The group together in tribes, and every couple of years, a contest is held to determine who the representative of all tribes will be. The “contests” range from tests of physical strength and endurance to straight out fighting to leading ability. The most well-rounded Wyvern is chosen, and he (or she, occasionally) speaks for the tribes until the next contest, in which he must go through and win the contests again if he wishes to stay as the speaker. The speaker can lead the tribes to an extent, but major decisions require a tribal council and a majority of the tribes’ acquiescence to pass. That can be pretty hard, considering the rivalries that go between tribes. Glad it isn’t my job.
Third is the Eastern Dragon. They are probably the most different from the other dragon species. They have two hands/claws, two legs, and no wings, although that doesn’t mean they can’t fly. Their “breath” is generally wind, although there have been cases of water and even electrical blasts from their mouths. They are known for their extreme length, and their abundant wisdom. They are the least antagonistic toward humans, and humans in the east revered them, not reviled them. They are led by an emperor from his palace at Shangri-La, the largest all-dragon city in the world. Every now and then, a human will wander onto Shangri-La, and while most stay, some return with stories. Where did you think the legends came from?
Another race of dragon is the Water Dragon, although humans are more apt to call them Sea Serpents. They are most like giant water snakes, with no arms, legs, or wings. They are also unable to fly, although this is circumvented by both the speed at which they can swim and their human forms being able to take things like planes to travel. Many mythical sea creatures have some basis in the Water Dragons. Mermaids (modified human forms), sirens (again, same thing), sea serpents (normal form), all of these things come from the water dragons. They are, for the most part, isolationists, so I can tell you almost nothing about their social structure and stuff. I just know enough to say that it is nothing like “The Little Mermaid,” alright?
Finally, we come to the Snow Dragons. They almost all live in the Arctic Circle, except for the few hermits that decided to fly to the Antarctic. In dragon form, they are almost all white or a shade of icy blue. They breathe, of course, ice, or at the very least a liquid that becomes ice on contact with a surface. They mostly live in the second largest dragon city, named Jotunheim. It is a city carved entirely into the Arctic itself, situated deep into the ground in a system of caves, tunnels, and chambers. The snow dragons are both isolationists and traditionalists, meaning that they refused any sort of contact and truce with humans for the past 60 or so years. It is just now that they have agreed to sign a formal truce and peace treaty with the humans. Who knows, that maybe that will end all the fighting once and for all.
Alright, I think that is everything. Wait, you want to know about magic? Come on, I just told you all about the dragons. Isn’t that enough? No? Haaaah, I guess I can tell you what I know about magic. I don’t actually know that much, so you will have to forgive me for being brief. Why don’t I know a lot? Well, there are a hell of a lot of different kinds of magic. Most of the stuff in novels is based on some fact. Some people use staffs, some people use wands, some people use incantations, some people use summoning, some people don’t use anything. There is a society of mages in London, I think, but they are even more secretive than the Dragon Hunters, and getting what I have on the hunters was a piece of work, let me tell you. At any rate, that’s about all I have on magic.
Still, from what I hear, the Hunters are still recruiting, both dragons and humans. Maybe it is for the peace treaty signing that is coming up, but for whatever reason, they are recruiting hard. Oh, you aren’t ex or current military or police or whatever and think you can’t join? Well, who knows, maybe you can learn some magic or something or how to be a field medic or something. They really do need help, from what I hear.

Hi there everyone! This was something I came up with a while back but never got off the ground. I always liked it, so just recently I went back and completely rewrote it. It went from being about a 400 word description to be 2000+ word description. In the process, I got a much better handle on where I want it to go, so now it is just a matter of getting people involved. Ah, but you didn't check this out to hear me ramble. So let me get on with the show!
Well, anyway, this RP will be action and story based, and set in the modern era. Before you ask, no, you don't technically have to be a part of the Dragon Hunters to be in this fic, but don't expect be to work overtime and concoct ridiculous reasons to involve you in the plot early on if at all. You would need to see a way to get them in and talk to me about it, for as much as I like freedom, having people start with no reason to get involved usually is a recipe for an early death. If you have a good way to get them involved, the go for it, and even if you don't I will try to think of a way, but I honestly don't guarantee that it will be all too soon in the game.
I will put in here what you need for a character:
Note: For the "leftORright" tags, delete the OR along with the direction you don't want the picture on.
The rules will probably be up by the time you read this, but if not, please note they are on the way. We will start once I feel we have enough people to be ready. If anyone wants to play a villain, tell me and I will consider. I have a plan in mind, I just need to see if it will pan out.
We all know they don’t exist. They are just the fairy tale antagonist that keeps the prince from the damsel or the hero from the treasure. They are big things with wings that fly around and breath fire and just generally make a nuisance of themselves until someone comes along to slay them. Definitely not real.

Using a combination of magic, weapons, and shear willpower, the Hunters waged a defensive war against the dragons for the next 500 or so years, only stopping for the temporary truces that rarely lasted more than 5 years. Even in the 1900’s, the Hunters still fought bitterly against the dragons to keep human civilization intact. Then, things changed with the 1930’s.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 10 authors
Setting
0.00 INK
Final had trouble processing the chaotic scene before him as he left the tunnel into the large room where the fighting had begun. Gun shots were going off everywhere, mingling in with the fighting of humans and dragons. It was impossible to tell a dragon hunter from an enemy. Shrapnal coated his left side as bullets rained into the wall next to him, causing him to instinctively throw himself behind a nearby bench.
Damn it! I don't know who to fight! If I turn into a dragon, I'll only make a bigger target. But like this, I'm screwed if a sniper trains on me! What am I gonna do?!
Final jumped as something skidded into his leg. Looking down, he found a magnum, completely loaded, hanging from the hand of a headless human. It took an amount of willpower to keep himself from gagging. Gingerly, he pried the gun from its owner's hand, holding it akwardly. As a dragon, Final hadn't had alot of experience with human weapons.
Peaking out of his hidding place, Final noticed one dragon amidst the chaos that seemed to be enjoying it, rather than dismayed. The fire dragon observed the situation with delight, which disturbed him greatly. As if on some silent signal, the dragon made for one of the tunnels nearby, instantly disappearing from the scene.
Now what are you up to, Final thought questioningly.
With one last look over the bench, he rolled from cover, moving as fast as his legs would carry him in his human form. Just as he was closing in on the tunnel, a glint of steel to his left made him bring his gun up, stopping a sword blade just in time before it lopped off his head. However, the impact sent him sliding across the ice a few feet, his hand numb to the wrist. Again, Final barely fiented to the left before the sword again nearly cleaved him in two. Blindly, he struck out with his foot, rewarded with a groan as he nailed his adverssary in the stomach. With his enemy distracted, Final swung his gun around in a wide arc, hitting his opponent in the temple, dropping him cold.
Quickly gathering himself, Final made his way into the tunnel the dragon disappeared through earlier. His steps echoed down the narrow space as he followed the strange smell of his target. Before he rounded the next corner, he stopped, hearing rapid footsteps.
"Nah... you don't mind."
The voice startled him as he glanced around the wall of ice, seeing the dragon from earlier, obviously a female, and... a girl who looked like royalty. He was about to change so he could intervine until he spotted two other figures walking towards the two from another tunnel. They wore dragged cloaks and seemed heavily armed. This didn't look good at all.
I can't fight them on my own...
Slowly, Final made his way back down the tunnel he came from, mentally kicking himself the whole way. He didn't want to leave that girl, but he wasn't going to be much help to her without backup. He needed to find the dragon hunters, and fast. So he bolted down the tunnel once he was out of earshot, heading for the treaty room to get help.

It was chaos. The magnificent signing hall now resembled a battle ground. People ran to all direction and firing their weapons. Monica almost yelled profanities, almost, and instead just growled in annoyance. What’s wrong with these people? Basic counter measure of terrorism, didn’t they learn that in the Hunters training?
“Make sure the king and queen stay safe!” The squad leader shouted.
She ran toward the King and Queen then giving them a shallow bow while took off her riffle.
“We will take you to a safer place.” she said and directed them to the exit. “Blacktide, protect our back.” And she would take the front, killing anyone who came too close to them, friends and foes alike. Well, she didn’t know the difference between friend and foe right now. They could be friends or they could be one of the traitors. Better safe than sorry.
They went to the door and exit the disastrous room. She didn’t know whether the Blacktide guy really cover their back but if he was a traitor too, she would make sure he died in her hand. She shook her head. Worries and suspicious feeling could be taken care latter, for now the royal family safety was first priority and she would need his help.
“Make sure the king and queen stay safe!” The squad leader shouted.
She ran toward the King and Queen then giving them a shallow bow while took off her riffle.
“We will take you to a safer place.” she said and directed them to the exit. “Blacktide, protect our back.” And she would take the front, killing anyone who came too close to them, friends and foes alike. Well, she didn’t know the difference between friend and foe right now. They could be friends or they could be one of the traitors. Better safe than sorry.

Ron ran over to the entrance back into the castle. Time to get out of there. Ron wrenced open the maintainance door and ushered Charoi and Jesse down the stairs . Okay, now that Snipers couldn't tell where they were anymore he could play some tricks. He ran down the hall a bit and burst into a nearby room that was overlooking the courtyard.
And was immediately bashed over the head with something hard. The vase shattered and Ron exclaimed out as he turned to obviously a dragon in human form. who had struck him with the vase. "I'm on your side!" Ron said as she reached for a silver tray to the side of her bed. "Hunter, Ron Gregorio." He said quieter which made the woman finally stop, the tray already halfway raised to strike his head again.
With her silence, Ron ran over to the window and poked the barrel of his rifle out the window, and took a few quick shots into the courtyard. Hit 2 targets missing 3. Well, it did what he wanted. They had to think that there were still more snipers, when there weren't.
He stood back up and backed away from the window. He unloaded the gun and went back over to the woman that was there. "Hey, mind if I keep this here for now? Kinda useless to me now, but my boss will have my head if I lose it." As the woman was still processing what was happening she nodded slowly. "Thank ye kindly." Ron said as he tossed the rifle under her bed and proceeded to the door. But he paused for a moment before leaving and turned to the woman smirking slightly. "Next time, start with the tray. Got me?" He chuckled.
Then he exited back into the hallway, much more relaxed than he was when he was on the roof. "Alright. We gotta get to the main signing room, with hell in our wake. Sound fun right? You gals up fer it?" he said to the pair of girls with him as he took a quick sip from his flask.

Sync cursed as he raced through the halls after the traitor. He couldn't lose the princess! Not only would it be disastrous for relations between the Snow Dragons and the humans, but the princess was his friend! He had met her a couple of years ago when the Dragons and Hunters had first proposed peace talks. She had been a naive little girl, but a bundle of energy and very very sociable. Sync had been ordered to watch over her (in other words, to keep her out of everyone else's hair), and so he had played with her to keep her entertained. She had never really got to play with anyone outside of the palace, and so she had attached herself to him. And from there, a friendship was born.
A pair of men came out of hallways in front of Sync. Before they could even get their guns up, they were both down from shots to the temple. Sync had given them a chance. He took a sharp turn down a hallway and into a tunnel. He heard sounds echo from down the tunnel, so be broke into a dead sprint. He would not let the princess get hurt on his watch!
He soon came to stop in front of a strange sight; the traitor on the ground, bleeding out, with a massive dragon blocking the path down the tunnel. Normally, Sync would have been relieved, but something in his senses cried out in alarm. It was like a sliver underneath his skin, just instead of pain, it was a sliver of fear and warning. This situation was wrong. Everything should be fine, but somehow it wasn't. His eyes narrowed suddenly without ever looking away from the dragon.
"Well, thank you for stopping the traitor, ma'am, but what happened to the princess?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The princess ran through the tunnels in fear. What was going on? One minute everything is normal, the next she is being dragged along by some Hunter, and then a dragon saves her and tells her humans can't be trusted and she needed to go with her people. Aria was scared. She hoped that Sync was alright. She was absolutely sure that he wouldn't betray her.
A man led her along tunnels out to a hole in the side of the ice. The man ordered her, "Now change into a dragon and follow me." Aria started to back up, shaking her head. She couldn't leave here without her parents! The man again ordered, "Out, now!" She started to shake her head again, but her world went black. She fell quickly into a dreamless sleep.

Jessie was confused as Ron left their path out of this portion of the castle and down the hall but her doubts were cleared up as he rejoined them after a crash and some clutter. He had an interesting character to him that she thought would make him a unique guy to lead their little charged to join up with Sync and the others.
"Bring it on!" Jess smirked and allowed the fire within her to seep out of her fingertips coating her hands in warming blazes. The tip of the arrow in the crossbow began to glow red hot as the fire on her hand licked upwards over the tip. She turned and waited for confirmation from Ron's partner, who she was pretty sure was a dragon. Jess wondered why the girl hadn't turned into a dragon yet to kick butt, she'd always been jealous of their awesome powers and way superior fire breath.

Thorn was annoyed with these eccentric hallways and their weird quietness. It was quiet and it seemed like it should stay that way but Thorn couldn't help herself and turned the corner ready yelled out some bad words about these cursed hallways. Then her eyes locked onto the dragon who had supposedly knocked out some bad dragon. On the far side of the scene was Sync and that was a good sign. That meant that he was a live, and kicking, but it made her releived and a tiny bit angry that he's still alive.
Thorn hesitated for a moment, but shifted into her true form ripping the clothes she wore. Black scales replaced human skin, her tail growing out and her wings started unfurling. Her claws were always the slowiest to change but this time they grew out fast enough to claw some dragon opponents. "So, is this a friend or not?" She asked Sync as she went into a battle stance ready to attack the dragon. Smoke rose from her nostrils and her eyes were actually turning a fiery red.

Charoi grabbed a gun off a fallen enemy. She was regretting she didn't have her own firearm but she realized it wouldn't really be economic for her because it would get ruined when she swam. Maybe a smal pistol would work, though. She would have to see about getting one of those. One that would easily fit in her backpack. The gun, a rifle, was heavy and unwieldy in her arms.
"Bring it on!" Jess said confidently as she manipulated fire to make an arrow loaded in her crossbow grow red hot. Jess looked at Charoi, who realized the human was looking for some sort of confirmation.
"Uh... Let's do this!" Charoi said with a little less confidence than what Jess had. She looked through the scope of the gun, trying to figure out how to use it.

The girl walked slowly through the tunnels without a care at the current situation until her stoic face showed a smile full of cruelty, increasing her pace the girl shifted into her dragon form, a gray one, and started roaring in a strange way, sounding like if she had something stuck in her throat, and soon the same sound was answered by many others... the signal to attack.
The original plan was simple and very suicidal, first the group would go separate in ways, then some would stay stationed in the corridors while others continue walking to zones with enough space to fly, then Drexza would call the attention of all the guards attacking the king while her two companions kidnapped the princess, a signal would be given and repeated by each member until each one of them answered, like a beacon system from the old days, to start the last phases.
Hopefully, for most of them, humans had changed many of the variables of the plan forcing them to move to the lasts steps... Full scale attack time, shifting into their real forms many dragons and wyverns started to fly around going in separate ways, some to the ceiling and many others diving to attack humans, either were Hunters or enemies, and dragons alike.
And that was only a diversion to cover the others dragons and wyverns whose goal was to let very big rocks fall from the ceiling, with the small exception of one dragon carrying a rock over a very specific group, such tactic would be repeated until the overall goal was met: do as many damage as they could to the guards and the city until it was time to retreat...

Back to Drexza

Drexza showed a bored look to the boy and the dragon infront of her before she started to glow, like if flames sorrounded her, shifting into her human form. While the shift was completely normal the "showy" part was thanks to a spell, or a ritual something like that, from another dragon to change some scales into clothes... Not that she cared, in perspective she was all the time naked, but she had to admit that it was a good idea to not be the only one without clothes while walking among humans... Although it kinda lost it purpose as she still showed many of her dragon parts just a little "smaller". Including her size but right now her instincts and guts were telling her that it was the worst of the ideas to give the guy in front of her a free shot, funny... Even funier was the idea that she was having such reaction from a human, while the now girl... for now she was in a small threat level.
"You know... once I saw a butterfly flying like if the world belonged to it. Without a care of what could happen, I can´t describe the feeling I had at that moment..." Drexza turned and walked some steps away from the pair before turning to glance at their reactions and stances "An emotion that was telling me to reach ... And crush it. Same feeling... This time this man was only the one receiving it."
Drezxa crossed her arms over her chest, the clawed one over the human one, and showed a small smile as some strong noises and roars started to resonate in the tunnel "Well that sound means I have to do... other stuff..."
Drexza turned once more and walked away some steps before stoping to look over her shoulder and show her sweetest smile, the only thing that showed that she in fact had a combat presence, something she had learned to hide with the centuries, this particular smile carrying massive amounts of killing intent to the pair behind her.
"Now let me tell you this tunnel is coming down, nothing personal I just don´t like it... Actually it annoys me greatly, I don´t know what the Snow dragons were thinking when they did it." Drezxa´s body started to glow showing several marks or runes over it, actually all her scars, while the temperature slowly raised. "It is your call if you want to stay or get away from here... Don´t care... And by the way... the princess is being dragged to one of the lowest tunnels so her beloved parents can come out and you know... get kill. How I know this?"
Drexza showed the same smile just wider. "We are the ones that captured her."

Drexza showed the same smile just wider. "We are the ones that captured her."
Thorn listened to what the dragon said and growled. Not wanting to look at Sync she lowered her head and the smoke rising halted as she growled. Her lips pulled back to show her ivory, pointed teeth at the red dragon, "Then you should probably return the princess so you won't get hurt." Her words were sharp and were filled with so much anger. Who would do this? Especially on day like, when she was angry, cold and very very grouchy.
Thorn knew she shouldn't engage in a fight like this with the other dragon, but she was going to anyway. She sized her opponent up as Drexza turned. Drexza was a bit bigger then her, probably about fifteen to twenty feet taller and maybe somewhat wider then her. While Drexza was red and bigger, Thorn was a sable black and she was a younging compared to most dragons but she was lethal in fight.
Thorn stalked forward, barely making any noise. She also knew that if she did this, Sync would probably be angry at her later and suspend her for a year but she wasn't really caring right now. "Oh come on. Just let the princess go and we can negotiate about your freedom and quite possible your life. If you don't I get to... lets just say, I get to expiriment with your life line." Thorn sounded insane there but hey, living half your life with humans did sort of drive you insane. Snapping her jaws, her tail twitching excitedly she smiled sweetly.

Sync's expression went blank momentarily before a mask of cold anger appeared. His eyes blazed white with magic circles as a circle appeared underneath him and began to expand outward. He stated calmly, "Well then, I guess we will have to extract where she is. Hopefully before you die." As he raised his arms in a prepared stance, another explosion the tunnel. In between Sync and his opponent the ceiling came down, only barely missing the form of the large dragon that was with him. He swore loudly but quickly picked up his radio. He said, "Attention, all Hunters! Get to and protect the Snow Dragon king and queen ASAP! They will be attacked again, and this time there might be dragons!" He shut off his radio and turned to the dragon with him. "We need to get back there as well. There isn't anything to do now, that dragon has gotten way."

Thorn looked back at Sync and growled, "You better hold on." She moved forward bit the back of his shirt of jacket and threw him onto her tail while darting through the halls. It was hard to move through the halls, especially when she was this big. It didn't matter though, she was intent on not falling or crashing into any walls when she turned a corner and found her own scent from before. She followed it and was soon outside. Standing in the cold snowy air. She looked back at Sync, "We should get to the Kind and Queen, or do you prefer to go after... the princess?"
Ron nodded as he looked at his little squad there. "So guess we got a firey one here." He said jokingly to Jess before turning down the hall. At that point he was somewhat torn. He wanted to be serious and quiet enough since there was enemy around, but he didn't want to be barking, not just because of the fact he hated that, but for Charoi's sake as well. Poor gal, unlucky draw fer her first excursion. If not the damned cold, the invading army, take your pick. But hell, she would pick up quick, she had two people there with her, and she shure as hell wouldn't lose her head.
Ron turned and walked backwards for a few steps, facing the pair smiling slightly once more at his squad before turning around and walking forwards again. He then pulled out his radio and radioed into Sync. "Cap, ditched overwatch. Got a regular ol' Delta Force headin for the main objective. going to be engaging shortly. Over'n'out."
Ron then slowed his pace as he came upon a corner leading to the balcony looking over the entrance hallway. He crouched down at the corner before sneaking a peak, and then retreating his head. He then looked back to the pair with him holding three fingers and motioning around the corner. There were three targets immediately around the corner and two more on the other side of the balcony, but he could drop them after the gals helped him with the incoming trio. He double checked his weapon and motioned for the girls to do the same then smiled at them, trying to think of something motivational to say.
But then he realized that was nothing like him at all.
So instead he just whispered, "Yippie-kiyay mother..."
and he stood up and turned the corner unleashing a round into the center of the incoming patrol on their side of the balcony.

Charoi was quickly getting used to the wieght of the gun. Sure it was heavy but she was a dragon for heaven's sake! Okay, maybe being a dragon wouldn't have anything to do with physical human form strength, but, possibly because of her new perspective, Charoi had begun to challenge herself with more physical wieghts. Doing so had payed off it seemed.
Ron peeked around a corner. Then he looked back at Charoi and Jess and held up three fingers while motioning around the corner with his other hand. What did that mean? Charoi thought back to her training. His signals probably meant there were three people around the corner, she guessed. Creeping quietly to the corner she jumped when Ron opened fire. The time for subtlety was over. Charoi took a quick, clumsy aim of someone unexperienced with a gun. When she pulled the trigger she was knocked back by the recoil of the rifle. She was aiming for the left most person of the trio and hoped she hit.

Sync was momentarily disoriented at being thrown onto the dragons tail but he righted himself momentarily. The dragon did her best to navigate halls as she rushed into the building. She asked him if they were going after the princess or the king and queen. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Unfortunately, I think that they have already gotten away, and with that cave in, we can't even go after them. The King and Queen are still here though, and the two people I left with them are outnumbered. Their Majesties were already injured when I left." Roars echoed from outside as the palace started to rock. Apparently, dragons had joined the fight. A glance through the window told him that they weren't friendly either. They were attacking the human group, but they were also hitting the Hunters as hard as they could. How had a simple peace treaty degenerated into a three-way war. Sync got back on the radio one more time. "All personal, be advised, there is now a hostile dragon group that is joining the fray. Do what you can to stop or slow them and try to stay alive. Reinforcements from the base should be on the way soon." He hoped the communication officers had been able to get a message off without anything going wrong. The day could stand not getting worse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out in the streets a battle raged. Humans with weapons battled fearsome dragons at the same time the Hunters tried to keep the peace. It was chaos itself. Five human figures watched the pandemonium unfold from a lofty perch in the chasm. The one in the front turned and spoke to the group. "See now as the Dragons and Dragon lovers are driven into chaos by our forces. We are striking a great blow today, but this is only the beginning. You all know what must be done; go and find them. Once that happens, we will establish humanity as the dominate force in this world once and for all."
Flashes of light emanated from each member in sequence until there was only the leader left. A deathly calm smile could be faintly seen as he surveyed the carnage before him. "Soon..." he whispered, before he too vanished in a flash of light. A cold wind blew through the caves, uncaring at the death being sowed; hopefully it wasn't a sign of worst to come...

Drexza blinked in surprise as she saw the tunnel fall, it wasn´t supposed to happen so quickly... maybe her heating skills were improving. Yeah definitely that was it.
Not that she cared at current situa... No, there was something... one little detail that brought one cruel smirk on the dragon´s mouth. The reaction... it didn´t matter how good he could keep his "calm mask"... For a moment Drexza could felt so much anger... something that she could abuse in the future, it was a mistake from his part to show that to her and he would have to pay for it... The dragon that was with him in the other claw was... dissapointing, probably she lacked self control or was not used to control herself at this kind of situations...
Drexza shrugged as she stopped glowing and entered the tunnel walking slowly her way out. The echoes of the battles made her head tilt to a side as she waved her tail. How many would be out of battle before it was time for group to retreat? The dragon smirked evilly as she saw some rays of light, nothing would stop her this time and she was sure that no one expected what she had in mind.

Thorn looked at Sync then up into the snowy skies to see a snow dragon fighting it's own kind. She growled remembering when she was just a hatchling that some dragons would sometimes turn on their own thinking they were saving themselves just like her father. Growling, she so wanted to join in some fights to get her half of blood and death but then she couldn't, she had orders and a leader to follow. The fighting and the thoughts of her father suddenly brought her to a stop.
An ebony dragon, bigger then Thorn was now, with a bigger bone stucture was standing in front of her growling at something behind her. She was only a two week old hatchling during this moment.
The bitter cold brought her back to life after her shocking moment of a flash back. Thorn looked at Sync then sighed, "So... Than what do we do?"
An ebony dragon, bigger then Thorn was now, with a bigger bone stucture was standing in front of her growling at something behind her. She was only a two week old hatchling during this moment.
The bitter cold brought her back to life after her shocking moment of a flash back. Thorn looked at Sync then sighed, "So... Than what do we do?"
Sync answered the dragon, saying, "We have to fight though to the throne room. Immediately. Hopefully the defenders will still be standing." And so they moved forward. They were still a little ways off from the signing room, but the chaos had mostly cleared the halls. Sync picked off stray hostiles on the way, but the new dragon combatants were drawing the heat off the Hunters for at least the time being. At the speed they were moving, it only took a few minutes for the pair to reach their destination. Unfortunately, the two stepped from a palace straight into hell.
The gunfire was fierce as Sync entered the room, so made he immediately went for cover and tried to assess the situation. A small knot of Hunters stood around the king and queen, doing their best with whatever makeshift cover they could find. Across the room the waves of human attackers came through a breach in the wall that went straight to the outside. Where in the hell were all these enemies coming from, anyway? He worked his way over to the defenders, not pausing to look at the bodies of the fallen Hunters. Many good men and women had died here today, he could see that without looking around at all. They would have time to honor the dead after.
The Hunters around the royalty cheered when they saw him. They knew exactly who he was and how good he was supposed to be. He took an offered assault rifle and told the men, "I saw a heavy machine gun on my way into the room. I need one of you to get it and set up over here while we all keep suppressing fire. Thorn," he added to the dragon, "can you keep your fire breath on the door for a minute or two?"

Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Well, anyone who can post please post... Cause I would like this to stay alive.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Hey guys...
Sorry about the wait. I have had a lot of school work and stuff recently. so I really haven't had a great chance to post. Well, I don't think I will be able to post tonight, as I would have liked (Actually I tried to post last night, but went to sleep before that could happen)
But anyway. I will do my best to post tomorrow. And just letting you know I AM still here!
hope to see you around!

Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Alright, I make sure we still go out to recruit you. Looks like we have one person to recruit, so lets get this thing over with and get a move on.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Halloo, sorry! I've only read the OOC today. >_<
I still am interested in this RP and would like Micco to be recruited! Please! :3

Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Okay... So, it looks like the only surviving (named) hunters will be Sync, Charoi, Ron, and Thorn... I will get up a post tomorrow. Those who have died: I am sorry, but I think I have been more then fair. You have had a week or more to post, so I take your inactiveness as abandonment. To those who have yet to be recruited: PM or post here so that I know we need to still recruit you. If you do not respond by Wednesday or perhaps Thursday, I will not send anyone out to recruit you. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I need to be for the story to go on.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Agreed. Keep it going! Also we are ready to bring more... attempts of mischief. IN other news Im about to start a new job as a entertainer (using dogs Fu.k Yeah) with some friends. So don´t worry if I only appear to post in the dawns. XD
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Yeah, I want this to keep going as well. So I guess as of monday it is just the five of us.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Yeah, I have to agree with light here. If you want to live through Jotunheim (as in you want to keep playing), say it here before or via PM the end of tomorrow. And to those who have yet to be recruited, just tell me here or in PM if you are still interested in the game so we don't have go recruit people who aren't there. I will post on Monday to keep things moving.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Hey there, Can I just take a headcount so we aren't waiting for people that are no longer posting?
So far people I know are sticking around right now:
Chari
Me
ShatteredMind
Furry Dragon
BlueWind_22
Anyone else trying to make a post, or should we wait for?
If not then I propose we make the abandoned characters KIA, to help us along, and not to have to worry with them being NPCs.

Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
For the first time in a long time I was not extremely busy with my life to post. I was waiting for the other to post as I already had my 15 sec of glory. XD
To thing of something more interesting according to the reactions before implementing the evil plan. An evil plan that I will have to short very much if things continues like this.

Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Look, guys, if you don't want to post, just say so. I will post tomorrow so that this hopefully doesn't die. To those of you who have posted or at least told me why you can't, thank you.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Yeah, I see no one is posting. Is that because you don't want to control minor NPCs or something? You can kill as many of the attacking dragons and humans as you want. If you guys still don't like that, I will take direct control of them instead so anything you have to do is basically purely reactionary.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Okay, great! The Jotunheim arc is winding down, so hopefully we can work on getting some recruits.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
HALLO~ Gawd, you don't know how badly I want to join in!! XD Just came to tell y'all that I'm still here and waitn'! :L
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Sorry life happened... and clowns, circus, small nieces... meh you know the drill. At least all is ready to phase 4.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Alright, then I will post later if Thorn doesn't. That is the last person I was waiting for the reaction from.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Alright, if the two people who were with me don't post today, I will post tomorrow. Those who are just fighting are welcome to keep doing so for now.
Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
O.o the new character feature's rly cool! (I don't know what it does exactly but it seems convenient)
I didn't come on for a week and I thought I was going to be ridiculously far behind, guess I was wrong ^.^
Sorry I disappeared... life always seems to pick up as soon as I join a roleplay -.-'

Re: [OOC] Dragon Hunters: Reloaded
Sorry for the long time for the first post! Irl aggro. v.v' Anyways, I've obviously posted as you can see from the huge wall of text. I'm not usually this mouthy but since I missed the first time I -should- have posted, had to do catchup. But it got done and hopefully there are no hard feelings! :D
