I'm here to advertise By Tooth And Claw Dragons: an original fantasy role-play seventeen years strong. Located on Jcink Premium and very well established, we are an immersive high fantasy role-play set in a number of alternate dimensions, or 'Realms'. We have over seventy species to choose from, including custom-made ones and all things traditional; as well as the ability to suggest and create your own. Abilities and powers are nearly unlimited - hybrids are allowed and encouraged. We just had our Grand Reopening and have completed a marvelous Realm expansion, come check us out!!
Our role-play is split into three different categories. BTACD has a primary plot-based role-play section, where the main plot is played out in a series of subforums divided by world - where miniplots tie directly into the main storyline, and large battles, changes in royalty, Realm occurrences and large plot events can affect everyone and everything. The second primary section is lore-based, where you make your own plot, completely unrelated to the main overarching plot, set in the forum's worlds and using its lore, species and relative history. Lastly, we have unrelated one on ones; a place where members already involved in Main can role-play whatever they wish. The possibilities are endless in this section; it can be modern fantasy, realistic wolf, warriors, post apocalyptic, twisted horror - anything and everything, as long as it falls beneath the rules, can be done here.
As stated before, we are very well established, at thirteen and a half years and counting; and therefore have lots of information on our website. For new members, we've created a mentoring program - pairing an older member with a newer to answer questions, begin role-play, and guide them through the worlds and Realms until they're able to fly on their own.
Come experience the nearly-unlimited freedom of creativity BTACD prides itself in, and let your dreams run wild! The links above should answer all of your questions, but if you have any others, feel free to PM or post here with anything you need. (:
Other things we have to offer::
[list]
[*]character adoptions; anything from a fully-formed charrie to offspring to a simple concept
[*]main plot-specific position openings; the ability to take a position with ready-made character, or the ability to create a character to fill
[*]plot events that affect everything; large battles, Realm changes, tournaments, etc
[*]an endless possibility of things to do!
[/list]
We're always looking to improve and build upon what we have, and are always looking for member feedback. At this time, we have no member cap; we're seeking newbies to come have some fun, so stop on by! Let's get this party started~
-----
How does this pertain to Flight Rising, you ask? Any FR OC is welcome to be ported over as dragons - or other creatures - and into our role-play! We are very creatively free and accepting of outside characters, and have the freedom to make lore tweaks as small as possible for the ease of role-playing under our name and in our worlds. Bring them all over! :D

Welcome to 2019, BTACD!
For the beginning of the year, we have worked up a wonderful release for you - a
sea expansion that gives many of our aquatic species their own lands and cities! These can be found in the countries of
Alubria,
Ca'irandros,
Cimmeria,
Rhidora,
Sudr'lund,
Western Ristell and
Yorije!
We have also released a brand new subspecies! Please welcome the
mula, a race of arctic atlanteans who live in the iciest regions of our many oceans.
Last but not least, the
leviathan and
kraken got a huge overhaul - go check them out! The oceanic subspecies of leviathan has been worked in as a variant, while the brand-new subspecies, the
Laticaudians, has been added. (:
In some of these, you may find references to future releases... have fun catching them all! ;D

We have a brand new custom species and a couple of reduxes for you all this month! Please welcome the
se'athkyn, our newest addition to the playable races! The se'athkyn are a native people to Xaeri, and are divided into five distinct tribes that follow a hunter-gatherer way of life. Each tribe has a totem animal, and not only have distinct ways of life, but appearances as well! The most unique thing about the se'athkyn, however, is that they have the ability to manipulate their own bones at will. They can make anything from protruding spike-weapons from an arm, plated boots, shields, trinkets and more - though the process can be quite painful!
Alongside the se'athkyn come a subspecies called the myskari; these warrior women branched off from the main tribes centuries ago, and have founded a unique way of life. Their tribe is a matriarchal society that often mixes metal with bonecrafting to create stronger than usual weapons and armor. Don't mess with these ladies!
To go along with the release of the se'athkyn, our
xeriin species has been updated! We have fleshed out and refined the Kin types: each Kin's appearance details, their culture, and their abilities have all been heavily fleshed out and polished.
Last but not least, our
elementals have had a complete overhaul! Now, each type is fleshed out in full, and the differences between the variants' various communities is described in detail. :D

Monthly bump! :D
We have a SUPER IMPORTANT update today: a complete (and totally needed) overhaul of our
magic system! While the basics have not changed - you can have any magic so long as it's balanced - we have redone the way our elements and sub-elements are presented, revamped the classes and special classes, and added
eight entirely new classes of magic for you to enjoy! Kv'naer also got an update, and should be much easier to understand now.
With the magic expansion, there's a brand new shop item:
Realmfire! Read up on it on the new magic page, and find it in the Hidden Passageway in our Bazaar!
A brand new species has arrived! Please welcome the
jinn - a Ristellan creature originally from Kurai, bound to objects that can only be released with the granting of wishes. They are part physical beings, part elemental, part spirit critters - and all around fun!
Vystriana now has two new additions: the city of Kriss and the Sanctuary Valley Orphanage!
Lastly, some assorted updates for you: the
giant and
hippocampus species have both been updated, and the barghest item in the store has a new, non-broken item. :P Next, the Constellations, Mind, and Space/Stars info (two pages and a section on the Connections page) has been moved to a new shiny home in the
library!

May brings lots of polish for the old things of BTACD!
First, we have a brand new, shiny subspecies for you all - the
amarok wolf! These wolves live in the waters of our Realms: the oceans, lakes, and rivers are where they can be found. Sporting both gills and lungs, amaroks may intermingle both with their land-wolf brethren and their underwater packs!
Next is something that has been somewhat canon for a long time, but only now has been released to the public. Welcome the
rarest magic in the Realms: Chaos magic! This powerful, rainbow-hued energy accents the user's abilities, and has the power to shape reality itself. However, it is also one of the most dangerous magics known to any, and not even the most powerful users can escape its effects. Read about it on the
magic page; it's available in the
shop for 30k jaden!
And on to our polishes! The groups pages have gotten a bit of a coding update! The chibis should appear a bit bigger, as will the boxes, and each now has the
player of the character easily listed. Our
wolf packs have also gotten nice, new information for each, and the long-unused Noss'a pack has been disbanded!
On a much larger scale, the
Gemstone Factions have gotten an overhaul as well! Their info has been completely rewritten and rebuilt from the ground up, with a new ranking system and things unique to both Factions. If you have a Gemstone Faction (Ruby or Onyx) character, take a gander, as this may affect you greatly!
With our species redux project, we have hit two this month - the
human and
imp! Each one has been overhauled and edited to give them specific variants, clarifying various points and filling in some holes we've long had in our lore. Two new human subspecies have appeared, as well - the
Noctisian and
Noktureesan!
Finally, the
kraken Ancient First art and description has been completed, and updated on its
page!

Welcome to June!
We have a sizable update for you guys this month - one that includes a brand new, unique custom species!! :D Please welcome the
quaterneri, a wonderful race of multi-armed, somewhat animalistic and tribal humanoids who dwell within and around volcanic regions and places where there exists extreme heat.
As we work on our map updates, expect a few new volcanoes to pop up around the Realms! ;D
Speaking of new places, we have two for you! Take a gander at the
Ethereal Lake in the country of Kerguelan and a brand new discovery - the
Cimmerian Rift in Cimmeria, both in Xaeri! What is a Rift, you ask? Read more about them in the new library entry,
Rift Lore.
To go along with the next few updates, we have a new item for you all regarding wolf familiars! Take a looksee at the
Wolven Talisman and buy it for 500j in the
shop!
Last but not least, the polishes - we have two full ones and one partial! Our
Vystrian wolves have been completely rewritten, and so has the lupine
kamine! Finally, we have now updated and polished the
lost elemental subspecies: Aura, Chaos, and Storm.
Plot Update!
A grand turn of events has thrown the Realms into chaos; Orochi, the dreaded lord of snakes, has seemingly vanished! A call of power ripped through space and time to touch everyone with fear and confusion, one only the serpents and mortrae'vinn understood. The snakekind retreated in haste, and were lost from view into the endless depths beneath their stronghold, the Temple of Nossa'rin. The children have likewise disappeared, taken by something only described as a black shadow that can move faster than anything else alive.
The Faction reels as its allies are gone; what will their next move be?
