Roleplay

For as long as anyone can remember, there have been dragon riders in Thrall. As the story goes, they were created after a centuries long war between kingdoms and the great lizards themselves, as a means of preventing further conflict. The wild dragons gave their eggs in the hope that some may help to create these great peace keepers. However, centuries ago, the king of your land, a rider himself, decided to change the rules. A charismatic and cunning ruler, he managed to create a large following of fellow riders, in addition to the kingdom's large military. Finally, he made his move with a controversial proclamation. From then on, all riders were forced to swear fealty to the royal family, or faced aggression from the military and allied riders. The explanation was that it would strengthen the kingdom, and thereby strengthen its peace. Many agreed, either from preexisting loyalty or from fear of being killed. Those who resisted were easily done away with by those they once called friends, or else were sent into hiding. It was only then that the king truly tipped his hand: He re-legalized the hunting of so-called wild dragons, thus ending the truce altogether. Amazingly, the wild dragons were decimated in only a few short years. The reason was simple and brutal: While the riders' dragons had all been around humans their entire lives, and had no real connection to their fellow dragons aside from the fact that they were a danger to their riders, the wild ones hesitated in striking down what could very well be their kin. After the initial attacks, the wild dragons disappeared, whether extinct or in hiding, no one is sure. Of course, that was a long time ago. The king, now known as The Conqueror, is now dead and buried along with his army. The law requiring riders to swear fealty to the royals is still in place, and now only nobles are given the honor of laying hands on a dragon egg. Meanwhile, the current king is making numerous rapid expansions into neighboring countries, seeming to want to take his ancestor's title for himself... [rule] Welcome to RoT! Riders of Thrall takes place in a high fantasy universe in which multiple humanoid and draconic species share the realm. Everyone is capable of Thrall’s elemental magic with training; Dragons being the only outlier with innate magical abilities. Starting with the birth of new dragons this RP will follow our group of 'chosen ones' from their first flight to their last adventure. [u][b]Rules & Guidelines[/b][/u] - Dragon species and elements will be stripped from the list as people apply to keep variety within RP. This does not apply to the rider races. - Choosing an element will not only affect your dragon’s birth element but your rider’s magic type as well. - When it comes to elemental abilities - If you can explain how/why it works, I’ll let you do it. - One character/dragon/element per person, again for variety [emoji=rainbow star 1 size=1] - Dragons communicate via telepathy, in more of a primal feeling rather than actual words. Essentially, it's very hard to hide a secret from your bonded dragon.

Leaving home was as natural as any other step they had ever taken in life, as random as they are. They spent quite a bit of time simply roaming and learning from nature before ending up at Thrall’s gates, piquing a general’s interest during a street fight before ultimately being recruited into the lower guard. Though not the position they’d thought they’d find themselves in, they continued to work and learn as much as possible. Being chosen as a guard for potential rider eggs had been a great honor, until a revearing touch to shell gave way under their fingers; Bringing to life and bonding him to Kakos in turn.

Are Wildclaws not available?

@DarkMoon9 Whoops I missed them! They should be on the list now ^^

@RatDad (not sure if you're subbed - sorry for the double ping, if so!)

Nearly done with Jase & Atreus! I just have to flesh out Atreus' general personalty, and add some notes to Jase, but I'd say they're about 80 - 90% done~
If anything in Jase's bio needs changing/editing, just let me know!

Would it be possible to be just a dragon? Either partnering with another player or as a wild dragon? Just would like to know.
