((the last time I attempted this RP, several players stopped responding, therefore making it less fun for the others involved. I'm going to try this again!))
The last thing you remember is gathering food, scavenging, playing with hatchlings, or possibly socializing with your clanmates, but none of that is relevant now.
You don't remember falling asleep, yet you're waking up, and you're not home. You blink, your head slightly fuzzy. Where am I? You stand up on shaky legs and look around.
You're in a cave, and you aren't alone.
The walls are covered in glowing runes, that seem to pulse with every color of the rainbow. There are other dragons strewn about the cave, as you were. Some stirring, some still asleep. This place looks vaguely familiar, yet you know you've never been here before... it sits in a corner of your mind that you can't quite reach, yet still know it's there. A dream, perhaps? Wait... You think back to the harmless stories that your mother or caretaker told you when you were just a hatchling. Suddenly, a shiver runs down your spine as you realize where you are. No... anywhere but here!
"WELCOME!" A ridiculously loud voice echoed through the cave, waking up other sleeping dragons or startling the ones that were already awake. You look in the direction of the voice, and your stomach drops even further. It's him! He's real!
A massive guardian dragon walks forward, with a ridiculously cheerful grin on his lips, and a ridiculously blue beard on his chin. "Hello, pawns." He chimed. "Welcome to Wheatley's Garden. I'm Wheatley."
Okay! The basic idea of this roleplay is that, like in the fairy tale of Wheatley's Garden, your dragon has been randomly selected out of thin air to participate in his horrible game. As the story goes, Wheatley was a dragon once mad for power, and he loved playing games. He took over his own clan and pit his own clanmates against each other. It took several dragons to finally banish him into an alternate plane of existence. Unfortunately, Wheatley figured out how to manipulate the magic himself, made himself ageless, nearly invincible, and could host his horrible games without being disturbed by the magical dragons. (If you want to know more, just look at Wheatley's bio. This is not required). Every few decades he pulls a number of dragons at random out to play his game until there is only one survivor left. (Think Hunger Games)
The story changes from clan to clan, so nobody is for certain what happens in these games.
However, there is one bit of the story that is consistent throughout all of the clans in all of the flights: One group of dragons managed to escape Wheatley's Garden. There is a portal between the worlds, and Wheatley guards it. He is a guardian after all. (If you read all of that, you're amazing).
Basic guidelines:
>No powerplaying/godmodding! Please ask before you kill someone else's character. If you aren't sure what powerplaying/godmodding is, please look it up on the Brief Guide to Roleplay Etiquette found at the top of the RP forums.
>No restrictions on dragon breed/gender/flight, however, it must be a dragon from your clan.
>Beginners welcome!! (For real though don't be shy)
>Be respectful of the other players
>Be good sports
>Out-of-character communication should be in brackets [like this] ((or this)) and also in the OOC thread located here
>There will probably be blood and gore and intense situations.
>Romance is allowed, but no sexual situations (I've seen it turn sour really quickly before)
>You should post AT LEAST once every two days. If you have school/work/other, let us know in the OOC thread and we'll make arrangements!
>You can play multiple dragons, but please, no more than 2!
How to join:
Post a picture of your dragon and a brief, basic description of strengths, flaws, and background.
That's it!
I will probably not be progressing with this RP until there are between 6 and 10 ACTIVE players signed up.
