Roleplay

Plot: Apocalypse had fallen upon the lands of Flight Rising, an unexplained darkness sweeping across one end of the region to the next. The air gradually became toxic, and an unusual lack of sunlight caused plants to wither and creatures to starve. With their once beloved home now growing inhospitable, many surviving dragons fled, journeying outwards in the hopes of finding sanctuary. Moons passed before they finally happened across a bountiful land, with the mere remnants of ancient dragon societies, but home to many similar species of prey that were native to their homeland. Here, the air is clean, the day brighter than those in the Sunbeam Ruins, and the territories open for claim. But now that new kingdoms are emerging, new wars being forged in a desperate race for control, will this paradise last?

Notes: This is an AU Roleplay set within a region outside of Flight Rising. It is an open world type RPG made for the purpose of seeing how characters interact, form clans, and explore their new home. It's an extremely fast and loose plot, but that's okay, because we can develop it! I'd love to hear any suggestions you have to help flesh out this so-called paradise a little more (including a name for the region and its inner territories), and I have made a Chat/Info topic here for us to store information, character signups (optional) and chat about the RP. However, if you wish to skip all that for the time being a dive right into the action with a character (or two, or several), that's perfectly fine!

**Yes, characters can claim lands and form clans, though each player is limited to a max of 1 "leader" (titles may vary). These can also be challenged for. More information on each clan, once formed, will be posted in the chat/info topic.

Geography: (Will be updated as the RP progresses.) The region in general is covered in greenery, though four unique territories within it can be identified:

Rolling plains lie in the heart of the region, serving as a neutral land to all loners and travelers. With hardly a tree or landmark in sight, those who pass through are often in plain sight. Various medicinal herbs can be collected here, and the land can be used by clan dragons to meet in peace, as it is bordered by each of the other territories. (Cannot be claimed)
A vast expanse of jungle stretches from the western border of the plains, lush and filled to the brim with vegetation and prey. Many rivers flow through the territory, originating from the mountain falls, and a camp can be made in the stone ruins that have long since been abandoned and overgrown. (Open for claim)
To the north of the plains lies a mountain range that few dare traverse, and in which prey and vegetation are sparser. However, it grants a magnificent view of the rest of the region, and is home to giant falls that supply the rest of the region with lakes and streams. A castle rests atop one of the highest peaks, barricaded well from intruders and large enough for several dragons to make their home. (Open for claim)
Along the eastern border of the plains lies a forest that closely resembles the Tangled Wood, its trees forming a tight canopy that allow scant amounts of light to filter through, and is naturally lit by bio-luminescence. This territory holds a plethora of herbs and ingredients for potions, and is a haven for those who do not take a liking to the rest of the region's intense sunlight. Within the heart of the territory is a complex underground cave system that will be difficult to map out, but worth it given just how much area there is for dragons. (Open for claim)

Rules:
-Be respectful of all players, and keep any drama within the RP!
-Please supply at least a small paragraph for each post, though beyond that, feel free to write as much as you like!
-Please be aware that this RP may contain violence or mild sexual references (within limit of the forum rules).
-LGBT+ characters are allowed.
-There is no limit to how many characters you can have.
-No power-play (this means assuming another character's actions).
-Please specify somewhere in your post which territory your character is currently in.
-You can use dragons from your clan, make up entirely new ones, or modify your existing ones in any way that you please. Just keep in mind that this is set in an alternate universe. It is preferable that you attempt to diversify their histories a little, or at least avoid having all your dragons group together if they were originally part of the same clan.
-Your characters may have companions, but they cannot aid in battle if your character is challenging for a land.

@Silvana

Hey! This plot really caught my interest and I would love to join! Before I do, though, is there a specific format that we have to use when signing up characters? Thanks. :>

((@Etzili Hi there! I'm so glad that you're interested. There is no signup topic at the moment; just hop in and start posting with your characters. In the future I may make one so we don't lose track of them and can provide some more character info, but for now it's just kind of on the spot.

In the posts I made above, however, I did include a name, location, place for tagging and OOC notes. You don't have to this! The format can be however you like, though it is asked that you specify the location (if not in a little note like I did then within the post itself).))

Purple eyes gleamed as his raised his own wings, loosing his own cry out through the mountains, an invitation to this new dragon to see what they were made of.

@Silviana Seems like an interesting set! spiced her up with some apparel :3 [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=41811855&skin=0&apparel=21847,22690,5397,9835&xt=dressing.png[/img] [center]Miro//The Jungle[/center] [center](A young soldier from another clan, only looking for a leader and a bright future to fight for, maybe a home.[/center] [center]Crawling out from under the refuge of the trees and into the intense sunlight, squinting at the nearby mountains.

The plague had finally ceased, but a new dragon was dominating now. Cries of pain rose up from the nearby soldiers, unable to help, she turned away. Many dragons were swarming towards the mountain unleashing cries of shock and fury as they charged closer. The sight of bodies still littered around, everyone else too busy attending to their own wounds to care. She didn't know what she felt. She didn't know how she should feel. Gathering up her arrows, Miro flew towards the cry, making the most questionable decision ever, gathering from the puzzled looks shot. A colossal Guardian was perched upon the crags of the mountains. She was scared, not because of the dragon's size, but because the look in her red eyes showed everything. [i]This is my world now.[/i] [/center]

(Of course! Everyone is welcome to hop in :3 Also, sorry about the late post, guys. I forgot to log in yesterday because I got really busy.)

Ballad had not stopped to think that others may already inhabit these lands, but it didn't matter to her. She never asked for anything; she took it. And if the owner of the response wished to remain in these mountains, he would either have to stain the rock in her blood or join her, and spill that of others. Ballad's crimson gaze turned to the direction of the cry, eyes narrowing as she scanned the bright skies for glimpses of the potential challenger. At last, the sun that shone above was obscured by the massive form of an Imperial, casting a shadow across her own as she peered up at his silhouette. Ballad could feel the beginnings of a flame bubbling up within her diaphragm, tickling her throat as she blew a puff of smoke from flaring nostrils. Her body turned, readying herself for an attack if need be. [b]"Have you come to challenge me?"[/b] Her booming voice was anything but feminine; it was the sound of thunder rolling over the horizon, travelling through a maze of jagged rocks, before grated tones as ravaged as the scars that littered her hide flowed from her maw. [b]"Or have you come to join me?"[/b] she added, a smirk pulling at the corners of onyx lips. She could only make out the silhouette of the stranger, though from his size he appeared powerful. A formidable opponent, or a valuable recruit.

Also I didn't really know what to do with his cat, so umm...I guess it's along for the ride haha) Feathered wings contracted against the coatl's sides as he barrelled towards the canopy of trees, tail wrapped tightly around the orange tabby that he had tucked close to his belly. Past the dense foliage he managed to spot a pearlcatcher whom appeared to have a quiver of arrows slung over their wing. [i]A huntress, perhaps?[/i] Toruk mused, before angling his course to land a slight ways away from the stranger. Wings unfurled and began to work against the air as he lowered himself to the mossy overhang on which she stood. In the near distance, he could make out the massive figure of a Guardian perched upon the rocks of the mountains, her scales a gleaming ebony and crimson and an aura of fire and destruction surrounding her. This must be what had caught the pearlcatcher's interest. [b]"This is chaos,"[/b] he remarked as he landed beside the pearlcatcher, aquamarine gaze sliding to her. His cat cried out in distress, and he pulled it around to his chest to hold it comfortingly in his talons. The sparrowmouse that had been anxiously trying to keep up with his swift flight now perched on his shoulder, ruffling its colourful feathers in annoyance. Toruk let a sigh escape his chest as he turned his attention back to the mountain range, curious gaze watching as another dragon appeared at the scene. [/center]
