Anyone in the Ice Flight is welcome to join! The purpose of this post is to get to know our fellow subjects of the Icewarden better and have fun! [img]http://flightrising.com/images/media_icons/ice_rune_50x50.png[/img] ~~ RULES Like all roleplays of course we'll need a few ground rules. Since this is intended for all Icicles, this roleplay will be pretty laid back. It's ok if you're not the best roleplayer, but just make sure you use complete sentences. Try to write more than one line if you can, but it's not the end of the world if you can't. All general roleplaying rules apply including no godmodding, powerplaying, or breaking the Flight Rising rules. Also try to avoid making Mary Sue characters because characters are more fun with development (and what better way to develop them than to roleplay them!). Since there will be multiple people, to help us recognize each others' dragons better, it would be helpful if you posted a linked image of the dragon you are roleplaying and their name. You can also use the small dragon image by using the code below and replacing NUMBER with your dragon's id number, which can be found in the URL of your dragon's page.[/color] [code][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=NUMBER] [img]http://flightrising.com/render/avatars/NUMBER.png[/img] [/url][/code] [color=gray] You don't have to post an introduction, just jump in! Though it's probably a good idea to read at least the page before so you don't magically show up someplace where it wouldn't make sense for you to be. Please also stick to the canon Flight Rising lore and storyline. So try to keep it realistic. You cannot roleplay Icewarden (though you could interpret something as a sign from him), you cannot climb to the summit of the Cloudscrape Crags, you can't go to a land that doesn't exist, and you probably can't walk across the entire region in a day. This includes following the information about the different dragon species from the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki]Encyclopedia[/url]. (Though of course each individual dragon will have its own personality.)

Description of the Southern Icefield: "The massive, frosted expanse of the Southern Icefield once enveloped the entire lower hemisphere, rivaling the size of the continents watching from above. The Icewarden and his brood now resist northern threats from the glacial prisons that they maintain at the bottom of the world. This harsh landscape has embittered generations of its denizens over time, lending to increasing hostility towards outsiders as the landmass continues to shrink." Check your profile page to see which subregion your clan lives in! Description of the subregions: Frigid Floes "This gleaming field of floes is a fleeting reminder of the former size and glory of the Southern Icefield, which once rivaled expanse of the northern continent. Recent warm weather and intrusions from the children of Fire and Lightning have contributed to the fractured landscape, each conflict pushing the puzzle pieces further apart." Snowsquall Tundra "The only pockets of what can pass for wildlife now huddle themselves into the brush of the tundra, which blankets the heart of the icefield. Dense evergreen forests skirt the mountain ridges, and many dragon clans huddle in wicker caves and huts nestled deep in the trees for the better part of each year." Cloudscrape Crags "This desolate string of mountains overlooks the frozen waste, and are among the tallest in the world. Even the hardiest of the ice dragonflight keep their clans safely below the harshness of the peaks, as those who have ventured upward never return." The Fortress of Ends "A frigid, unforgiving monument to the archaic past. From out of craggy, inhospitable terrain grow spires of impenetrable ice, covered in hoarfrost. Within these looming towers exist creatures, horrors, treasures, and even the ice flight's own denizens, trapped forever in unending preservation. And they are being watched..." The Southern Icefield is mostly isolated, though we have a few neighbors. The Frigid Floes lead into the Starfall Isles of the Arcane Flight to the west. North of the Frigid Floes and Snowsquall Tundra, separated by a stretch of ocean is the Twisting Crescendo of the Windswept Plateau of the Wind Flight. Across the sea to the north of our eastern edge is the Ashfall Waste of the Fire Flight.

The primary purpose of this roleplay is to have fun and meet and interact with other Ice Flight members, but there is nothing defining what daily life is like, so here's some information and ideas of what we might do on a regular basis. -Serve the Icewarden -Preserve the Southern Icefield's former glory -Guard the Southern Icefield from outsiders and threats from the north (*cough cough* Fire and Lightning Flights) -Interact with other clans -Use Ice sayings and phrases (the official lingo is linked below, but feel free to make up and use your own because who knows, if it gets popular it might get added to the official lingo!) -Hunt and gather and eat -Care for hatchlings and nests And don't forget to have fun!

Terrangeli babbled as the two female mirrors leaped gracefully from ice floe to ice floe. Stiria had initially planned the outing to escape the stuffiness of the cave. She liked having one of her own kind around. It reminded her of the old days. She was, however, quickly regretting her decision. Most mirrors weren't so chatty. They hunted in packs, sure, but talking wasn't important. Terrangeli, for sure though, was an exception to that. [i]She gets it from her father,[/i] Stiria thought with a slight wince and a pang of her heart. Then again, Stiria had gotten used to that quirk of Terrangeli's. The two expertly weaved their way across the ice, jumping here and there to try and reach the largest ice floe near their cave, an odd mix of ice floe and tundra where animals had a chance of survival. They had both made the trek many times, and it was almost second nature to them now. "Don't you adore my new tiger stripes?" Terrangeli asked as they raced through the terrain, raising her wings to the display the stripes encircling her body. "I bet Solumbus will love them..." There it was. That was the problem. Ever since Terrangeli and Solumbus had met and fallen in love instantly, Terrangeli wouldn't stop talking about him. There were a good match, Stiria admitted. But still, they were barely adults; what did they know about love? There was another pang in Stiria's heart. Stiria shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts from her mind and focus on her daughter's words. If Terrangeli [i]was[/i] going to continue on like that, she had to make sure she wasn't telling lies or spreading rumors, at least.

Terrangeli quickly noticed, stopping herself, though not quickly as cleanly. "What is it, mother?" Terrangeli asked, slipping and sliding in an effort to stop next to Stiria. Stiria hushed here and gestured to the water. A dark shape was evident, about a mere half a meter big. However, it was too big to be any sort of prey. A fae, Stiria realized with slight distaste. Terrangeli, however, had no such restraint. "Hello!" Terrangeli hollered down to the water, having left her position to rest on the edge of a floe. Stiria hissed at Terrangeli, causing her to look back inquistively before turning back to the water. How could Terrangeli be so stupid? What if it was a fire dragon? There hadn't been a lack of them hanging around the floes, to be sure.

[center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=22422] [img]http://flightrising.com/render/avatars/22422.png[/img] Sunny[/url][/center] The hulking behemoth trod carefully forwards, although he'd been snatched away from his nest just moments after shaking off his shell and that these Icefields were all he knew, the Floes still made this Ridgeback somewhat nervous. He knew how to navigate them by now (that he had learned from a few too many dips in the freezing brine) but knowledge of the landscape was no excuse for carelessness, he'd rather keep his feet dry. Caution was the first thing he'd been taught when he'd arrived here as a hatchling, just as the Ice youngsters he'd grown up with had been taught, the Icefields were an unforgiving place and no dragon would last long if they were not careful about where they put their feet. In many respects, Sunny the Ridgeback was an Ice dragon through and through, if only his emerald eyes didn't betray that thought. Why was he out here again? Clearing his head, most likely. His clan's den had been rather too lively for his liking, what with all the new additions to the group. He thought a change of scenery would do him good...Although looking down at the cracks in the ice now was starting to make him wonder if this really was such a great idea. Try to look elsewhere... Elsewhere.. Oh! He spied a couple of dark shapes moving on the Floes (the white dragon he couldn't make out against the ice), perhaps some new company would be of help? As fond as he was of his clan, he could only take hearing Conray's stories repeated so many times before he began to tire of them, and, who knows? Maybe Sunny and his new companions would have their own little adventure story for him to bore the hatchlings with over and over again? He liked the thought of some action in his so-far-uneventful life. Carefully now though, he didn't want to seem like a threat, nor did he want to shock or surprise the other dragons (not like he could, even for a Ridgeback, Sunny is huge) so he chose his steps carefully, walking slowly and purposefully over to the other group, his neck slightly arched so as not to seem threatening. He hoped things didn't get ugly.

Terrangeli had enough sense to jump backwards to dodge, but Stiria was still furious. How dare that dragon attack her daughter! However, Stiria was stilled by Terrangeli's strange actions. After dodging, Terrangeli leaped into the water, like Stiria expected her to. However, instead of attacking, Terrangeli merely bobbed in the water, making no effort to dive down into the water towards the fae. Instead she just occasionally flapped her wings to stay afloat. "If I was a firebreather, would I have leaped into the water so carefreely?" Terrangeli asked with a tilt of her head. 'That's how I knew [i]you[/i] were a fellow ice dragon, after all." Stiria pondered her daughter's words and realized they were true. Stiria really didn't give Terrangeli enough credit sometimes. Perhaps she tended to chatter on meaninglessly, but she was clever.

[center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=69594] [img]http://flightrising.com/render/avatars/69594.png[/img] [i]Stiria[/i] [/url] [b]&[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=77142] [img]http://flightrising.com/render/avatars/77142.png[/img] [i]Terrangeli[/i] [/url] [b]Frigid Floes [/b][/center] "No problem," Terrangeli assured the fae. "You can never be too careful." At the words, almost ironically, Stiria saw a shadow shake ever so slightly out of the corner of her eye, but thought nothing of it. Terrangeli, focused on the fae, had noticed nothing. By now, Stiria had crept up to the the edge of the floe, more relaxed. "I am at fault as well," Stiria admitted. "I was perhaps a bit hasty in my assumptions after the ice bolt." Terrangeli beamed up at her mother, knowing how hard it was for her to admit her faults, before turning back to the fae. "Now, what are you doing here in the water? Perhaps the fish are good pickings, but the freezing water cannot make it worthwhile."
