Roleplay

[b]Dragon Name:[/b] Barchan [b]Player Name:[/b] StarR3N [b]Tribe:[/b] Sandwing [b]Gender:[/b] Male (he/him) [b]Age:[/b] Adult [s]grumpy old man[/s] [b]Occupation:[/b] Teacher - Biomes (and Animals) of Pyrrhia [b]Short Description:[/b] A grumpy and rough veteran that teaches about Pyrrhia’s ecosystems. He takes his job very seriously and can come off as rather harsh as a result, not helped by his guarded nature. He fought in the war, but is reluctant to talk about it unless needed or relevant to his class. He also has trauma around Icewings, but he tries his best to hide this. [rule] [b]Personality:[/b] Serious, blunt, and guarded. Barchan is definitely strict and harsh, but it comes from a place of duty. He sees it as his responsibility to teach and help students grow up properly, and can be a bit overbearing in his role as a result. It takes him a while to warm up to others, if at all, and he tends to prefer the company of his animals over dragons. He’s closed off almost as a defense mechanism, since he gets extremely protective and attached to those he views as friends. [b]Appearance:[/b] Barchan is large, stocky, and riddled with scars. His most prominent one is the three gnarly lacerations across the left side of his face and his missing eye. His scales are a faded yellowish and even aside from his scars show the wear and tear of age. He is almost always accompanied by one of his animals, most commonly a horned rattlesnake called Dewdrop but also sometimes an egyptian vulture named Soar. Dewdrop is usually wrapped around his shoulder or neck while Soar perches on his head or wings. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wEP5UrC.png[/img] I’ll get a fullbody sketch of him sometime maybe [b]Relations:[/b] [u]Headmaster + Daintree[/u] | Employer. [u]Coal[/u] | Similar. Feels safe. [u]Northwind[/u] | Coworker. Friend? Jeffery also. [u]Tide[/u] | Coworker. Feels… flippant. [u]Remora[/u] | Coworker. Dislike. [u]Constellation[/u] | Coworker. Strange but reliable. [b]Extra:[/b] [list] [*]Barchan’s Icewing trauma is because his eye got gouged out by one during the war. It basically applies to any dragons that are primarily white, especially if they’re around the same size or bigger than him. Hybrids that look partially white will also trigger it, but only if he sees them out of the corner of his eye or is caught off guard. He will immediately go into fight or flight and be very tense as long as he knows they are near. He can be in the same room as an Icewing and operate fine as long as Dewdrop, Soar, or another trusted person is with him, he’ll just absolutely hate his life. It is also better in a class setting since it’s more predictable and he can prepare for it. However, if an Icewing (or a dragon he thinks is) comes at him too quickly or gets too close, he will lash out. [*]Dewdrop and Soar are his first pets, though he kind of views them more as family than pets. He also has a ton of rescues. It mostly started with taking care of the pets of other veterans who passed away, but it eventually expanded. His goal in taking animals in is to take care of them until they’re able to live and survive in the wild without him, but there are a few cases where it’s unfeasible. [*]He’s actually quite good at singing and dancing. He only really sings for his animals, and will completely refuse to dance. He thinks he’s lost the instinct for it, though he definitely still has the muscle memory, it’s just changed due to his age and diminishing sight. [*][s]Yes he is a Disney princess in disguise[/s] [/list]

Me realizing that Barchan's extra section is almost as long as the rest of his bio .3. didn't really know what section it'd be though >.< That should be my two guys though

I also apologize for my long forms, I like detail :D

I might add in a third teacher character, I’m just still trying to figure them out. I’m thinking of going for something inspired by Valstrax or Namielle, subject still pending.

Dragon Name: Malachite
Nicknames: Mal, of course you’re allowed to give her any other nickname
Player Name: SolemnSiren (You are however, free to shorten this, I prefer Sol but Siren is fine too)
Tribe: Rain/Sand
Gender: Female
Age: Dragonet
Occupation: Student
Appearance: At first glance, Malachite looks like a normal little Rainwing with viridian green scales and off white underbelly. Her frills have a striped pattern to them, with purple, orange, and teal green, in that order, starting from the outer side towards her head.

What gives away her sandwing heritage is the lack of the two frontal fangs rainwings have and the strange little barb on the end of her tail. But no one will know… right?

Personality: You can take one look at her face, with those bright eyes and goofy smile, and easily identify her as a chaotic little dragon. Malachite is overly energetic, and this energy doesn’t seem to have an end, because she’s always running around trying to make friends with everyone.

She flees at the first sign of danger. It doesn’t matter if the danger is actually life threatening or not, if Malachite sees it as scary, she will make a run for it. Bullies? Check. Nightmares? Check. Scary history lesson? Gone from the classroom. But with encouragement and support from her fellow classmates, she can face these fears and come out on top!

Relationships:

Eclipse: All the nightwings in the rainforest seem to talk about how great they are… but you’re different from them? You don’t have the dramatic flair they have…

Abyss: Hey hey! You look a little off… like me! Ooooh you have glowing scales! So pretty… (Proceeds to just stare at Abyss)

Diara: YOU’RE ROYALTY? Oh my gosh that’s so cool! What’s it like living like royalty? Do you have servants?

Pomelo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GET AWAY GET AWAY FROM ME-

Cnidaria: You remind me of the nightwings… very mysterious.

Moseley: You’re an icewing but you live in the kingdom of the sand? Oooh what’s the sand kingdom like? I heard some cool stories about that place!

Alaska: Ooooh your jewelry is beautiful- oh I see. No touchie.

Sundial: …do you not have a barb? I thought Sandwings had barbs? Like mine? Oh I’m not being mean! I’m just curious!

Jackal: Another Rainwing Sandwing hybrid! Yay!

Leviathan: You look odd… but don’t we all look odd here? We can all be friends!

Backstory: Malachite’s father, Burrow, was a Sandwing soldier who fought in the war for Burn. Tired of Burn (and by extension, Queen Scarlet) and their questionable violent behavior, he fled to the rainforest, believing that Rainwings were lazy and wouldn’t notice him sneaking around, stealing their food, snatching sloths…

As it turns out, they did notice him. They immediately took him out with one of their tranquilizer darts and dragged him to one of the healers to have his war injuries healed. This was where he met a gorgeous Rainwing named Allure, and after hearing about his reasons for coming to the rainforest, she let him stay.

They eventually had Malachite, their only child. Among all the other newly hatched Rainwings, it was easy to tell who Malachite’s parents were with her odd appearance. Although Malachite lacked a lot of Rainwing skills such as changing scale colors, venom, or even a prehensile tail, the other Rainwings didn’t really mind, and Allure always encouraged her to not be discouraged by her weird nature.

Although Allure and Burrow considered sending her to Jade Mountain, especially due to the Dragonets of Destiny being a close ally of Queen Glory, they were worried about how other students would treat her. Upon hearing rumors about Rivermouth academy and their odd reputation, they decided to send Malachite there instead.

Extra:

• Inspired by Pukei Pukei from Monster Hunter. Her appearance is a mix between how they appear in the mainline games (World, Rise, Now) and the stories games.
• Has an interesting way of delivering venom. While she can always use the traditional “stab tail into target” method used by Sandwings, she can also flick her tail to shoot her venom in a similar fashion to Rainwings.
• Admires Queen Glory and her ability to prevail over stereotypes and expectations.

Dragon Name: Alaska
Nicknames: None ATM, feel free to give her some
Tribe: Icewing
Age: Dragonet
Gender: Female
Occupation: Student
Appearance: Even for an icewing, Alaska has odd, pale crystalline blue scales, fading to a more chilling white towards her frostscale areas (tip of her tail, edge of her wings, her forelegs, and specific parts of her head).

She wears intricate jewelry that at first, look beautiful, but is actually serves a purpose that isn’t just for looks: they indicate her ‘danger zones’ so other icewings know to not touch them.

Alaska radiates a chilling aura wherever she goes due to her frostscales. In some situations, you can physically see a white fog around her.

Personality: You may think that Alaska is like most icewings: very strict, hold herself up to a high standard, and view those ‘below her’ as nothing more than just those who are weak. However, having grown up in a village who didn’t really care about status, Alaska lacks the arrogant trait most icewings have. In fact, she finds the concept of status and rankings silly, especially as an outcast dragon herself.

She despises expectations and the idea of being a ‘perfect’ dragon. She hates the concept being pushed onto other dragons, but she hates the concept being pushed onto her more than others. But in the ice kingdom, especially to the more higher ranked dragons, you can’t really say that out loud, so Alaska learned to ‘mask’ her emotions when needed to. To hide what others don’t want to see. Perhaps this school will help her learn to open up to other dragons

Relationships:

Eclipse: You know, my tribe had some unkind opinions about Nightwings, but that doesn’t matter here. I found their opinions silly anyways.

Abyss: If I touch water it freezes. No, nothing weird happens. It just freezes. Thank you.

Diara: A hybrid off spring between a Nightwing and an Icewing. I don’t find it weird, just… interesting, considering the wild stories I heard about Nightwings from some of the more higher ranking dragons.

Pomelo: Stay away, don’t touch my scales, they’re for your own safety.

Cnidaria: Are you secretly a nightwing? You act like one.

Moseley: …how are you still alive after spending so long under the scorching sun?

Malachite: Please calm down, you’re giving me anxiety.

Sundial: No barb? We don’t judge here.

Jackal: At least you’re chill, unlike a different Rainwing Sandwing hybrid.

Leviathan: We’re all a little weird here. There’s no need to be worried.

Backstory: There were some odd incidents that happened when Alaska was young. Incidents of injuries that resembled frostbreath spiked up all of a sudden, especially among the younger dragonets who always played together. The village dragons interrogated all the dragonets to find out who’s been naughty, but no one answered. They said that no one used frostbreath, and everyone was nice to each other.

This weird mystery was so odd some higher up dragons had to be called in to deal with this. Their solution? Splash water onto the dragonets. They immediately suspected frostscales and needed to figure out who it was. So they began splashing water on the poor dragonets who keep screaming that they’re innocent-

-until they got to Alaska. One splash later, they identified the culprit.

While it was the more mild, incomplete version, and Alaska wasn’t punished, dragons began to talk about her potential as a dangerous war weapon. Especially those among the higher circles. They expected her to be a great soldier, capable of taking on even the bravest and meanest of enemies.

Alaska didn’t want to be a war machine. She was more interested in becoming a bard, using her frostscales to tell her stories in a unique way. She would do anything it took to not end up in the first or second circle with all the strict adults. And her talent was admired by the villagers and those living outside the palace, but despised by those who lived in the palace walls.

Upon hearing rumors of a school for odd dragons, Alaska saw it as her escape from the strict world of the ice kingdom. After begging her parents to let her go, saying it would be beneficial for her to learn about other tribes for a better future (and while she does believe it is good for her, she cared more about escaping than learning), she was finally free from the rules that bind her tribe to a lifestyle she despised.

Extra:

• Inspired by Velkhana from Monster Hunter

@DeathDino Of course! Just put it under her ref in "Anything else we ought to know?"


As for the rest of you all, you'll be sorted into Winglets soon- I plan to write little letters from Headmaster for each of you in here, and then once we fill up enough, I'll open the IC RP thread. Excited to see you all try out your first days at Rivermouth Academy!

Diara's close relationship with her volcanic uncle, Kalimdor, has been a source of additional contention among her tribe (and onlookers)... Though the young princess has always loved to be among dragons, royalty or otherwise. Though Diara was raised in the City of Night, she often trekks to the rainforest and the seashore in search of new friends, and to understand the world around her. That is, when her mother is not bringing her on diplomatic visits to the other kingdoms. With no powers of her own, and a wicked legacy on her shoulders, Diara seeks to find her standing in this life. So what better than to join a school of other oddities?

@fyndin The message is a little torn, but the letters are inked with an elegant hand, and small doodles of flowers and reeds litter the margins. The messenger reads it aloud in a monotone voice, but does attempt to inject some personality here and there. [center][b]To the dragonet known as Jackal:[/b] [size=5][font=optima][i][color=green]Good Morning or Good Evening my dear! Rivermouth Academy has received your request for enrollment, and we are happy to accept you into our student body! I am Headmaster, the headmaster of Rivermouth, and I review most applications perfectly. I will say, I was rather moved by your desire to connect with your Rainwing heritage, and your interest in the myths and legends of Pyrrhia is sure to excite some of our teachers! I know from experience how much they love to discuss their area of expertise with like-minded students! After reviewing and comparing your information to other dragonets, we have assigned you to the[/color] [color=red]Crimson[/color][color=green] winglet. Remember to attend the Opening Assembly, so you can meet the dragonets you will be living and learning with! With much anticipation and joy, Headmaster [emoji=rainbow size=1][/color][/i][/font][/size][/center]

@SmilodonLady This message is seemingly pristine, wrapped in a fine red ribbon and handed to its recipient with much grace. But unfurling it reveals random splotches of ink, marks from messy talons, and near-cluttering sketches of moons and white lilies in the margins. Th penmanship seems rushed, yet still holds enough elegance to come from a well-learned individual. The messenger reading it is a little off-put by the location and company, but they do their best. [center][b]To the dragonets known as Eclipse and Abyss:[/b] [color=green][i][font=optima][size=5]Good Morning or Good Evening my dears! Rivermouth Academy has received your requests for enrollment, and we are happy to accept both of you into our student body! I am Headmaster, and I am in charge of our fine institution of learning. Your combined stories are of great interest to me and the rest of the Rivermouth staff, I will say. Despite our proximity to the village, we don't get many Nightwings, much less those with powers- they're a rather closed-off bunch, aren't they? A telling weakness in my opinion. Eclipse, we have assigned you to the[/color] [size=5][font=optima][i][color=red]Crimson[/color][color=green] winglet, and Abyss, you will be assigned to the [/color][color=blue]Cerulean[/color] [color=green]winglet. I assure you, I did not want to separate you two, but Assistant Headmaster Daintree insisted we attempt variation in the winglet makeup, as inter-tribal relations is part of our mission. You can still meet up regularly, however, and we can make exceptions to any rules regarding sleepovers if you so desire! We want everyone to be comfortable here![/i] [i][color=green]With much excitement, Headmaster[/i][/i] [emoji=eclipsed sun size=1][/size][/color][/font][/center]

@StarR3N

The message is delivered with little fanfare, the parchment is neat and unwrinkled, and the script is rigid. Whoever wrote the letter has a very stiff hand, and it looks to have been penned with much consideration. The messenger seems rather bored, but attempts to make it interesting.

@SolemnSiren The message is very wrinkled and a little damp, with one corner soaked almost completely through, and the penmanship has been warped by moisture. The messenger is a little haggard reading it, panting with the effort of keeping up with its recipient, but they are determined to get the letter delivered. [center][b]To the dragonet known as Malachite:[/b][/center] [center][font=optima][size=5][i][color=green]Good Morning or Good Evening my dear! Rivermouth Academy has received your request for enrollment, and we are happy to accept you into our student body! I am Headmaster, and I am in charge of our fine institution of learning. We understand you may have a bad case of stage fright- our files indicate it is an issue you're trying to overcome. Lucky for you, we have plenty of teachers willing to lend an ear if you need one, and our head of student discipline, Coal, also doubles as the school counselor. If you ever desire help with work or social problems, you are free to drop in at any time or leave an anonymous message in the dropbox outside his office. He will be perfectly happy to assist you! You have been assigned to the[/color] [color=gold]Marigold[/color][color=green] winglet, where we hope you thrive in the environment Rivermouth provides! I've personally found gradually building a trusted group of friends helps greatly with any social anxieties. We hope you are able to find your "rock" so to speak! With much joy and sympathy, Headmaster [emoji=rose size=1][/color][/i][/size][/font][/center] --------------- [center][b]To the dragonet known as Alaska:[/b][/center] [center][font=optima][size=5][i][color=green]Good Morning or Good Evening my dear! Rivermouth Academy has received your request for enrollment, and we are happy to accept you into our student body! I am Headmaster, and I am the leader of institution! We are especially excited to accept you, as it is rare for an Icewing to attend Rivermouth. The Ice kingdom is such a long flight away, and if I can be candid, many choose Jade Mountain over our humble school. They're missing out, I say! You have been assigned to the[/color] [color=blue]Cerulean[/color][color=green] winglet, and you need not worry about your condition affecting your life here at Rivermouth. We have made proper accommodations to the dorms, and if you think a change must be made, feel free to reach out to myself, Assistant Headmaster Daintree, or Dean Coal. Coal in particular has fireproof scales, which thanks to recent experimentation, has proven to also resist the frostbite effects of frostscales once the holder reaches adulthood. Not to the same extent of fire, frost works differently after all, but you need not worry about harming him greatly! We want you to be comfortable here! With much anticipation and cheer, Headmaster [emoji=snowflake size=1][/color][/i][/size][/font][/center]
