Dragon Riders RP

Dragon Riders RP ~ Revival

Hello, everyone. A few of you may remember the Dragon Rider’s RP from a while ago, but most of you probably don’t, because it drifted through the pages of the Inkwell pretty inconsistently. But I missed it, so I decided we could start anew… You don’t have to have been part of the original rp to join. We’re starting from scratch this time...

~backstory~

In the land of Emarya, the citizens and dragon riders have coexisted for centuries. The Riders simply wanted peace and safety for their people and their dragons, and the kings and queens of Emarya respected that. But one day, the current queen of Emarya mysteriously disappeared and was replaced by a new king - a mysterious man known only as Azazel. 

Azazel wants power over Emarya and all the surrounding areas - including Equidron, the Dragon Rider’s territory. The Dragon Riders, of course, refuse to give up their homeland, and now the Riders are on the brink of war with Azazel and his supporters. 

In Equidron, the Riders are preparing a plan known as the Lunar Sun Plan. The Lunar Sun is a time when the sun and moon both hit their peak. Every dragon gains power from either sunlight or moonlight, fueling them to fly faster and work harder. When the moon and sun are both out, the dragons will be strongest - and it may offer their only chance at defeating Azazel. 

The future of Equidron is at stake. The Lunar Sun is two weeks out, and six young riders will be working together to form a unit of dragons and riders. If all goes according to plan, they will be saved… but if not, it means the end for the dragon riders.

~~~~~~~~~~~

There will only be six people in this RP, including me, so five spots are left. Limit one charrie per person, please. I’ll post mine when this thread shows up. Here’s the sheet:

Name:Lyra

Age:17

Gender/Pronouns: Female. She/her.

Dragon Rider or Dragon: Dragon Rider

Appearance: Golden blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back. 
She usually wears it loose.  Tan skin, a scattering of freckles across
her face.  Large sky blue eyes with long lashes.  Has a slightly turned
up nose.  Pale lips and a bright smile.  Loose, light brown pants and a
loose fitting darker blue shirt.  A belt around her waist keeps her
shirt from flying up when she rides a dragon.  Carrys a short sword. 
Two thin gold bracelets on her wrist.  Covering her bracelets are
leather wrist guards that has a hidden sheath on the left wrist where
she hides a tiny dagger. When she flys she wears a thick light grey
jacket, a green scarf, and a helmet like hat that ties under the chin.

Personality: Bright and strong. Can seem to be unfeeling.  On the
outside she seems tough, but on the inside she feels things deeply.  She
feels what others feel.  Can be slightly sarcastic but not in a mean
way.  Thinks quickly.  Is very fast and has sharp reflexes.  A natural leader and decision maker.

Background: (if you want we can work on this more after we've all made
our charries, to link them together) Was found in front of the Dragon
Rider fortress (or wherever their headquarters are) at a very young
age.  No one knows where she came from, or at least no one says.  Was
raised in the fortress.  Became a Dragon Rider apprentice and graduated
early.  She's a good Dragon Rider, but new.  I am thinking about making
her backround clearer in the RP.

If dragon, who is their dragon rider, and if dragon rider, who is
their dragon?: Soror (see sheet below)

Shipping? yes or no: No, though she would love a really close friend of any gender (other than her dragon).

 

Name: Soror (means sister in Latin)

Age: (we need to work out how dragon ages will work...) 10 in human years

Gender/Pronouns: Female. She/her

Dragon Rider or Dragon?: Dragon

If dragon, are they a sun or moon dragon?: Moon dragon

Appearance: Large and mostly dark blue.  Scattered about her blue scales
are silver ones.  The two sharp horns on her head are silver and the
tip of her tail is silver, the spikes along her back are also silver.
Her eyes are golden brown and shows her emotions very well.  Her claws
are dark red.

Personality: Very kind and empathetic.  Sensible.  A mothering type of personality. Soft and sweet, though she will be become very fierce when someone she cares for is threatened.  Smiles a lot.

Background: (if you want we can work on this more after we've all made
our charries, to link them together) Was born inside the Riders’
fortress.  Her mother died when she was very young and was raised mostly
by her father and the dragon caretaker.  She picked Lyra as her Rider
before Lyra was even old enough to be apprenticed.

If dragon, who is their dragon rider, and if dragon rider, who is their
dragon? (We'll figure this out the same way we do with shipping) Lyra is
her Dragon Rider.

Shipping?: Soror isn’t open to shipping.

Other: She cares for no one in than world more than Lyra and would do anything for her.  Lyra is her child.

~ ~ ~

Yes, starting from the beginning would make sense. Should we be able to make side characters?

Name: Araelis (Rae for short)

Gender/Pronouns: Nonbinary, they/them

Dragon Rider or Dragon? Dragon Rider

If dragon, are they a sun or moon dragon?: Not a dragon!

Appearance:Wavy shoulder-length black hair, light brown skin, sea green eyes, short-ish.  They like wearing exotic, colorful clothing and always wear small golden hoop earrings.

Personality: Outgoing, charming, and charismatic.  Rae is a thrill-seeker and daydreamer, often ignoring important issues.  But when they are passionate about something they put their heart and soul into it, not giving up until the goal is achieved.  Because of their charisma and people skills Rae is also somewhat of a compulsive liar.

Backstory (parents, how they came to be in Equidron, etc): Rae's parents were wealthy nobles who raised dragons for the Dragon Riders.  Shortly after Azazel's rise to power their parents were murdered and home burned to the ground.  Rae's own dragon, Horus, rescued them from the fire and together they fled to Equidron.  The Riders took them in and Rae has lived there ever since, but has sworn to take revenge against Azazel.

If dragon, who is their dragon rider, and if dragon rider, who is their dragon? Their dragon is Horus

Shipping?: Sure, with anyone

Name: Horus

Age: About 20 in human years

Gender/Pronouns: Male, he/him

Dragon Rider or Dragon? Dragon

If dragon, are they a sun or moon dragon?: Sun dragon

Appearance: Golden yellow scales with black scales in patterns mixed in around his neck, tail, claws, and eyes.  His horns are golden and curved, almost forming a crown or halo shape.  His wings have pale brown webbing and are dusted with golden feathers.

Personality: Wise and brave but also haughty and vain at times, especially when meeting new people.  He is very protective of Rae and keeps them grounded.

Backstory (parents, how they came to be in Equidron, etc): Horus was adopted by Rae's family when he was young and once Rae was born quickly bonded with them.  He fled to Equidron with them when their parents were killed.

If dragon, who is their dragon rider, and if dragon rider, who is their dragon? His rider is Rae

Shipping?: Probably not

oh hello dreamii! you could be my dragon character's rider if you wanted :D im completely fine with just having a dragon [mainly because i think dragons are quite pog] and scrapping my rider idea [it wasnt very good to begin with.]

if everybody else is okay with that, i can be your dragon's rider. i probably won't be too active, but i'd like to if everyone says it's fine.

(if it's not, i totally get it- i just want to make up for last time, when i posted like, one part and then gave up my characters and yeah.)

I guess it's about time I start answering questions... 

Also I forgot to mention that riders can communicate with their dragons telepathically, which is what makes them connected to one another.  

@dreamii, since you were part of the original rp, it only feels right to let you play a part in this, so you can be tmw's character's dragon rider. 

@red starlight, technically all spots were filled at the time your comment was posted, but there maybe a side character whose perspective we could use, so stick around and a character for you might come up :))

@blackfooted bobcat, yes, these are in fact western dragons (thanks for checking). I guess I didn't give much thought to Emarya's connection to the real world, but I think having a charrie with a real world race would make sense. (I hope that helped?) And feel free to add more sections to the charrie sheet, it was really just a basic outline :))

Emarya is a fantasy world that has elements of magic and fantasty creatures (like dragons, obviously). Below is a map of Emarya, which was made by our beloved Peregrine.

Aww, thanks Mary.  I had forgotten about the maps I drew.  I'm really looking forward to starting this!

(July 26, 2021 - 6:36 pm)

ah okay thank you! i'm sorry if i drop out again- hopefully that won't happen this time.

so uh @tmw, if i'm understanding correctly, i'm making a new dragon rider?? i'm probably getting that wrong but uh here's my dragon rider charrie :D

Name: ivyanne moss (ivy if you want, but most people call them moss bc it just makes reprimanding them sound better)

Age: early teens- 14 maybe?

Gender/Pronouns: they/them

Dragon Rider or Dragon?: dragon rider :D

If dragon, are they a sun or moon dragon?: n/a

Appearance: i liked your 'sparkling green eyes with gold flecks' so we're going off that. ivyanne has curly emerald green hair with black roots that's tangled and messy, done in a wolf cut that ends around their mid-neck. their eyes are shiny gold. they have semi-pale skin, freckles, and they've sunburned their cheeks & nose. they're kind of short and a bit on the stocky side. they're wearing a loose black tunic that's pretty short and has too-large elbow-length sleeves. dark grey cargo pants with lots of pockets, greyish-green boots that are good for running but have very long shoelaces so they're also good for tripping heh (when they're flying, they put on a dark green bandana-headband thing that keeps their hair back and steel-toed riding boots)

Personality: a bit blunt & terribly honest, but is just trying to get through life. bad with people- gets very embarrassed and awkward, so they stay quiet most of the time. strangely optimistic, tends to change their mindset if everyone else if leaning a certain way, one of the biggest cinnamon rolls ever, a follower instead of a leader. super clumsy and bad at everything except attracting unwanted attention & getting yelled at by superior figures. massive amounts of self doubt.

Backstory (parents, how they came to be in Equidron, etc): well, they were in an orphanage. not because their parents died or didn't want them- they just didn't have enough money to take care of ivyanne, so they slept & ate at the orphanage while their parents tried to make money so ivyanne could live with them again. but one day azazel's troops raided the orphanage and ivyanne barely got away. and then they found luuma. a dragon rider patrol found ivyanne and luuma right after that (this is like, two weeks ago btw) and assumed that ivyanne was luuma's dragon rider, so, uh, that's how they got here. they aren't the best rider though, and are feeling pretty out of place because luuma is so elegant and stiff and sure, they're close, but not really. they're still trying to fit in and figure out how this all works, but they're kind of failing.

If dragon, who is their dragon rider, and if dragon rider, who is their dragon?: ivyanne moss is a dragon rider and th3mysticw0lf's luuma is their dragon. it might not work out to have two people but uh, we'll see.

Shipping?: uh, platonic relationships would be great, but romantically i think they're okay.

Other: thanks again for letting me join <3 i'm going to try and stick with this because i just got very attached to ivyanne and if anyone hurts them i will yeet that person out a window ;D 

also mystic lmk if i should change ivyanne in any way- or if i should scrap their character and do a new one that works a bit better with luuma :D

(July 27, 2021 - 7:27 pm)

oooh this is perfect! 

just imagine the bond. luuma's just like cold and intimidating pretty much and ivyanne is a cinnamon roll- ooh this is gonna be fun. 

imma hope that using some kind of interaction [OH MY GODS WHAT IF IVYANNE SAVED LUUMA FROM SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PERFECTO] they become friends and imma write luuma being overprotective, this is so fun

anyhoo, ivyanne is perfect [mostly because im currently imagining all the interactions and stuff] and this is gonna be awesome. 

ALSO RANDOM NOTE BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THIS IS STARTING?

@Blackfooted Bobcat, if you could go ahead and post what you've got of your charrie so far, that would be great! Then we could go ahead and get started :)))

(August 6, 2021 - 10:24 pm)

@Admins: I'm so sorry this is so long.

@Anyone: If anyone wants to be my dragon, they can; I'm not writing from their POV anyway. I'll see if anyone wants to before posting them. I've referred to them as Hinata, they/them for now, but if anyone wants to be mine, they can customize them as they want.

Name: Azami-Enji Castañeda (if you don’t know how to type an enye (ñ), could you look it up? Thanks :D)

Age: 9

Gender/pronouns: ze/zer/zem/zemself. Referred to as “a child/person”. Probably agender, but presents more as female.

Dragon rider or dragon: Dragon rider.

Appearance: Medium light brown skin, almost-black eyes, very thick straight black hair worn somewhat long that’s only sometimes brushed, short for zer age, slightly worryingly skinny. Always dresses neatly because zer parents found cleanliness very important, and usually wears a happi over zer clothes because why not? When it’s colder, ze often wears a lliklla and a coat (if ze has one). Has a fair amount of scars from fighting guards; the most noticeable one runs vertically down from zer cheek to zer neck. 

Race: Half Japanese half Quechua Peruvian.

Personality: Doesn’t trust people; assumes they won’t carry through. Because of this, ze tries to be very independent and shuns anything needy or babyish. Even happy emotions are considered a threat; ze has to keep zer appearance unassuming and as strong-seeming as possible, in this case. Ze tries to change zer personality to fit the situation, but refuses to be anything that’s embarrassing. Azami-Enji is very perfectionistic; because ze can’t trust others to follow through, ze wants to be able to count on zerself. Completely illoyal towards most people, but if a person/dragon/cause is important to zer, ze will probably never abandon. Does what ze needs to do to survive. Generally acts cold, but when you mention something ze’s interested in, ze gets very excited. Ze also cries very easily, which ze hates. As much as ze has trouble/tries not to show emotion, ze is pretty sensitive. Ze just figures that feelings are hard and often get you into trouble. Ze’s a bit of a compulsive liar at times. Ze’s autistic. Rarely, ze will get super frustrated and break down/get angry/get mean, which is generally a shock to other people. Azami-Enji doesn’t care about social norms; in zer opinion, it’s not worth it to have people in the first place. If ze knows you and trusts you, like Hinata (and zer brother Haruki, once) ze loves to be with you. Ze just figures that someday it’ll come to an end. Pretty anxious inside, but has trouble vocalizing feelings. Refuses to accept help because ze figures people just want stuff from zer. Azami-Enji almost never forgives people ze has grudges against, and often focuses on getting revenge. Introverted and pessimistic. Gets pretty obsessed with things and loves to do things relating to them. Main three traits: Sensitive-but-tries-not-to-be, changes personality to fit what ze needs as long as it’s not degrading, vengeful

Backstory: Born into a poor family in Havenwood with an six-year older brother named Haruki and a mom and dad, ze spent a lot of time exploring the forest with Haruki. Zer parents were always working, never had time to take care of zem, and often were really judgemental when they did.
When ze was six, ze found a dragon egg in the wood. Haruki helped zer raise the dragon. Hinata, the dragon, had grown up most of the way by the time ze was eight. That’s when Azazel set a fire.
Ze only barely escaped with Haruki, and probably would have starved, gotten overheated, gotten burnt to a crisp, or died in some other way if ze didn’t have a dragon.
Then Haruki got severely injured by one of Azazel’s soldiers. He died as they were flying over the city, escaping on Hinata (their dragon).

Soon after, ze saw a sign about the rebellion. Ze was immediately hooked.
The only problem is, nobody trusts a 9-year-old. Most of the other riders are far in their teens or even twenties. And if ze wants to get revenge, Azami-Enji is going to have to impress them.
Now.

How do they react to criticism? Praise?: Ze gets pretty defensive against criticism, trying not to cry. Ze understands why ze needs criticism, but it hurts. And ze gets really excited about praise.

One thing they can always be sure of: They don’t really think anything’s ever sure; anything could change in an instant if something bad happened.

Some things they feel bad about/insecurities: Azami-Enji’s deepest insecurity is how ze failed to save Haruki. Ze still misses him, a lot. Ze thinks his death was zer fault. Ze is also insecure about how many fears ze has; ze would rather be emotionless.

Dragon: A young dragon named Hinata.

Shipping: No, but open for one or two friends!

Hobbies/interests: Ze loves everything about flying, from the wind in zer hair to the smell of the air, so flies whenever ze can. Ze’s very obsessed with getting revenge on Azazel. Ze also loves reading and writing, when ze can focus for long enough.

Fears: Fire. Ze would rather be cold than have a fire. If ze’s not otherwise stressed (so, never), ze can sometimes handle it; most of the time, ze freaks out. Instead of using fire, ze usually keeps bottles of trapped warmth magic from Hinata (if that doesn’t fit with the magic system I can change it). Ze and Hinata have a written agreement about not using fire. They don’t have it anymore, but the symbolism remains. Ze’s also scared of darkness, being alone, being with people ze doesn’t trust, and lightning/thunder. Things not being perfect also gets zer worked up.

How they want to be seen: Azami-Enji wants to be seen as capable and strong. Ze doesn’t want people to know that ze has feelings; ze would rather be seen as emotionless and annoying than overly emotional. Although ze does not want to seem annoying - ze needs people to trust zer.

Other: Gets a lot of odd looks and questions because of zer age, which ze hates. Ze is semi-verbal, and zer ability to talk varies. Sometimes ze can’t talk at all; sometimes ze can string together words into a basic sentence. This largely depends on how overwhelmed ze is at the moment. Ze always has a notebook and paper because ze can think of sentences when ze can write. Ze has very bad handwriting. Ze loves rocking from side to side to calm zirself down, moving and flapping zer arms when ze’s happy or excited, and spinning around and around whenever. Has always thought that it would be cool to be able to draw, but ze doesn’t have enough focus for sitting still that long. On which note, ze is very bad at sitting still but does zer best.

Again, @Admins (and anyone who actually reads through all this), thanks a lot! And @Admins, you guys are great. Thank you!

You're welcome!
