A dark cloaked figure was walking through a forest path. Its cloak was a dark brown color, with a dark purple collar. Figure had a bow, but one couldn't name a tree it was made of and even strangely; it didn't look like the figure was carrying any arrows. The bow had obscure carvings on it, strange runes and forms; it looked like it was older than its owner, who was pacing through the forest. Not once did the figure stop and it implied that it wasn't very old, one could even imply it was young; it paced carrying his own frame without a sweat. You could see it was very graceful, which implied it was a woman. Her steps were big and fast, making the grass and old leaves under her feet rustle. You could sometimes see a scared doe running away from the traveler or hear an angry bird screaming from its nest, the inhabitants weren't happy, but the forest didn't care about trespassers, many walked through here, it was usual to see a few travelers, a caravan or maybe a few bandits pass by. Trees have stood here for ages, they did not care about the world around them, it was known for everyone that they were sleeping, a deep sleep given to them by the Forest God.
A small creek came into the travelers view; its waters reflected sun rays that were piercing through the leaves, he walked up to it and filled his flask with cool water. A small smile played on her lips when she finally refreshed herself; she took of her hood revealing her silver-blonde, shoulder length hair and brown spiral horns that shot from her skull. She dipped her human-like hands into the water and rubbed them at her scaled neck. It was a hot day and despite the forest shadow she still felt like a dish in a furnace. Her magenta eyes focused on a bush, when she heard a rustle there. A chimera walked out of it, that creature fascinated her. It was a blend of lion, goat and serpent, many would have been afraid to look at it, but she was used to it by now. The poor thing followed her all the way from the Croath. As the animal drank from the creek, the woman stood up and was about to go back to the path, to proceed on her journey when she heard someone nearing. She quickly took her belongings and climbed the nearest tree hoping that whoever was there, would go past her.

PLOT POINTS
These are only guidelines to help us with the plot development, our characters can try to kill each other, maybe hate each other, but that's the thing about character development. If you have a better idea, tell me!
THE WORLD
As you may have guessed, everything is happening in time equivalent to medieval in our timeline, but this world isn't all about knights and ladies. It's much more.
First of all there are two races Humans and Draco also called Natum Draco (translates into dragon born). Humans are exactly what they are, two legs, two hands and so on. dracos on the other hand is a different thing, they are hybrids between humans and Dragons. Below I'll include their appearance. Their ancestry is rather intriguing, they began to appear when humans first started trying to use magic they learned from the dragons. Children were born with horns, scales, bright and unnatural colored eyes. At first such children were killed and their mothers banished because everyone thought they were the spawns of evil, but after some time people started realizing that they were indeed children of magic, they were altered after the dragons, because dragons themselves were magic. Of course they kept their humanoid looks too. Dracos were much stronger, with magic in their veins. Some of them had the power to create illusions, others materialize things or use telekinesis. Many variations. After some time they became majority of all the population on earth, humans remained of course, they were the first ones to populate the world, many big and rich cities stand and thrive until now. But will this be for long?

- Usually have horns, pointy ears, sharp teeth, and scales on some parts of their body.
- They do NOT have wings.
- Eyes wary from light grey to pink. (more unnatural for humans is more natural for Dracos)
- Skin color is usually humanoid.
ROLEPLAYERS:
Quote:
@Helfaux
Name: Bael (not his real name).
Race: Human.
Age: Older than he looks.
Occupation: Travelling Warlock/Necromancer.
Mate: None
Appearance:
Dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail, icy eyes that almost never close.
He wears dark clothes and a short robe with a hood and a scarf, he carries and an assortment of different knives beneath his robe.
He is around 6’2”
Weapon of Choice: Magi, daggers or bows.
Abilities:
- Draining Touch - as said he has to touch the person's skin, places like the wrists and the neck is preferred because a lot of blood flows through there. The power's cooldown is really, really long. If contact is broken it is even longer.
It's basically how he collects energy to preform magic, and stay alive.
It can be repelled by simple weak enchantments.
The draining takes more than five minutes, and would be a bad move in any combat situation. This power is mostly used when people sell their "souls".
- Raising the Dead - Reanimated corpses drain the power he has collected. To reanimate dead bodies the brain and vital organs needs to be somewhat intact.
Summoning spirits is another form of necromancy, it does not drain power the same way reanimating corpses do, but all magic needs energy. Spirits can't really interact with the world around them, and they can only be seen and heard by the one that summoned them.
Bael is pretty hard to kill, and immune to diseases. Decapitation or annihilation of organs like the heart and lungs will kill him, a knife to the stomach will not.
He can to some degree manipulate shadows (he can cloak himself in them to remain unseen, it's not fool-proof and is actually more like camouflage).
Family: All dead, might even have killed them himself, don't ask him about them.
Other:
Despite being a Necromancer Bael is not a horrible, power hungry person and he makes for decent company, if you don’t mind the occasional morbid humour.
He got these white ravens following him around, their names are Odi and Dolor. They look exactly alike, but he manages to tell them apart. Their eye colour is the same icy shade as their masters.

@Daeneirys
Name: Neitiri
Race: Dracos
Age: 24
Occupation: Unknown
Mate: no
Appearance: A tall woman of about six feet, she has light, almost white, straight hair. There are two spiral horns shooting out of her head. Her ears are pointy and her teeth sharp. Her back, neck and some of her arms are covered in dark jade colored scales. Her nose is pointy and her eyes bright magenta color. She wears something like this:
http://www.mylarpcostume.com/2013/02/assassin-costuming/
Except that she doesn't carry a sword around. In fact she can't fight with a sword at all.
Weapon of choice: Bow or Magic. Usually both at the same time.
Abilities: Can materialize things like arrows, daggers and other small things, they usually glow with dim, magenta color, like her eyes. Also she has the ability to transform into a dragon. It's not as big as a real dragon though. It's about the size of two horses maybe. But she almost never does that because when she does she loses her mind, she cannot control the creature she becomes. Longer she stays in her human form, more like a dragon she looks. Scales start covering most of her body, her fangs grow bigger. That's why she loses it sometimes and changes into her dragon form. In her dragon form she's a brown colored beast with wings and claws, but her eyes stay the same.
Family: Her mother died giving birth (human sorceress), while her father is unknown. She was raised by wizards.
Other: Will unfold further in the role play.

@Altair
Name: Caden (Kay-den) Silas
Race: Human
Age: 18
Occupation: Traveling Swordsman (well, he isn't sure what he wants to become yet).
Mate: None
Appearance: Caden has baby blue, messy, short hair and almost matching color eyes, though his eyes have more a gray blue tint to it. His clothes are in an assortment of blue hues and black: a turtleneck, long-sleeved coat with some simple patterns on it, silver blue pants, and dark blue boots. He also carries around a long, gray sword with a golden hilt which he carries around his black belt with a brown scabbard.
Weapon of choice: Sword, any kind as long as it's pretty sturdy.
Abilities: Caden has exceptional swordsmanship as he's been practicing how to use it at a ripe age of nine. Along the way, a wizard has also taught him how to increase his power even further with some magic, and he also uses that in battle. Usually the magic would coat him in a bright blue fiery aura, and it increases not only his focus and strength but other senses too...
Family: His mother still lives in his home village, but his father had died while he was doing his job (according to those who last saw him). His father happened to be a swordsman as well, killing monsters and whatnot for a living.
Other: Do not do anything with his sword without permission. He will threaten to kill you. And maybe kill you. Or fatally injure you. He still has morals.
