They can have any colors...I'm one who don't care to stick to traditional colors myself.

Okay, thanks. Are they okay?

Character Name: Talyn

Character Age: 16

Character Description: He has short wavy midnight blue hair that swept to the left of his face, covering part of his eyes. His face was pale and thin, with a few freckles upon his cheeks. Under his eyes faint bags settled and a very small scar cut across his cheek. He is about 5'7 and is reasonably thin but he has some muscles as he was brought up fighting. His eyes are stormy blue and alert.

Character Race: Elf

Character Skills/Abilities: Talyn is very quick and has well trained senses, although his is not very gifted in magic like other elves, he has learnt to train his strength and weapon skills instead.

Character Weaknesses: Tayln is not gifted in magic and can be rash in quick thinking moments, often messing up. He is not great with strategies and prefers to fight solo, struggling with teamwork.

Character Locations: In Arithemar, home of the elves

Character Occupation (Ie: Dragon rider, Octequigon rider, Blacksmith, Tailor/Seamstress, Master Trainer, Weaponsmaster, Grand Arch Mage, Arch Mage, Mage, Accepted, or Novice, etc...): Will be a Dragon Rider but the Dragon is not old enough to be riden. (Elven knight sort of)

Character Short History: At his birth Tayln's mother died, this devastated Talyn's father but a year later he grew calmer after that Talyn's father was intent on him becoming a warrior since he was a child and immediately began to make him train. Tayln spent many years training until his father finally stopped, at that time Talyn believed this was punishment for the death of his mother. One day when he was travelling through the forest he came across a disregarded stone which turned out to be a Dragon egg. Talyn and the Dragon did not start off well because when it hatched it broke through the eggshell and jumped into the air, slicing his cheek, hence the scar and from then on the Dragon treated Talyn like a rather which he found annoying but within a week (which is at this point in time) he began to find it adorable.

Dragon/Octequigon Name: Amet

Dragon/Octequigon Age: 1 week

Dragon/Octequigon Description (If Dragon please Post an image of a Ny'vene here along with your written description. If Octequigon, just wing it. Look in above post to seen what one looks like. Can be any color. ((Sorry I'm not an artist so I've no means of creating an image for you of an Octequigon)) Just do your best.):

Pets (If Any):

Pet Name: Tor (Short for Phobetor, the Greek personification of nightmares)

Pet Demeanor: He is rather alert and drifts along behind Talyn no matter what and feels uncomfortable when apart from him.

Pet Gender: Male

Pet Description:

Looks great! And now that I'm thinking on it, perhaps our pets, dragons, or Octequigon, we need to state their genders. I'm not sure why I didn't think on this before. I'll add that into the templates.
Hopefully we'll have more joining us, and maybe one or more will choose to be an Arch Mage or Mage, or Weaponsmaster...so we'll have some posts about those needing it, being trained it magics or weapons/fighting.

Yes that sounds great and I'll put in gender now for my characters pet and Dragon. Also, by the way, my character does mostly use weapons like a sword.

Thanks! I need go back and add into my own as well. See good thing about making out these bios...it gives me more ideas to add in if I've forgotten them. It was late last night when I got this all posted...so I imagine I've forgotten alot.

If there is anything in the rules/bios/ etc that is missing and should be in there, that anyone sees, please let me know. If we all work together this RP will turn out to be a good one.

If anyone happens to think of other occupations that might work in here...please let me know. I've just thought of more to add, and will do that. Aside from the Sylestia pets being used in the RP if there are others anyone would like to see, then let me know and I'll add them. I'll need to know the name of the creatures/animals, their descriptions etc...
If by chance there is an occupation you want for your character...but it is not on the list...put it in your bios...I shall add it to the list with your character's name beside it.

I've added more ranks/titles/occupations to the list. Anyone want to use them, it's fine just let me know so I can put your character name in the right place. If there are other ranks/titles/occupations anyone thinks needs to be added, send me a message. I'll promptly get it added.

We also need some ideas on other threats...dangerous animals etc...things the evil sorcerer could enlist to do his bidding.

Descriptions of the Lands:

There are Three land masses on Ketara. Tarragon being the largest and the size of Europe, Asia and Africa combined. Arithemar, home of the Elves. Kelna Vale is home of the Shapeshifters, Dasfield is the home of the Humans, and Tarragon Warren are home to the Dragons and their riders, all four are located within Tarragon Lands. A wide river called the Qresh Channel separates Tarragon and the much smaller land mass of Khilheim, home of the Dwarves. And last, the smallest of the three land masses is Northrot...and conveniently to the North of Tarragon and Khilhein. Qresh Channel runs North to South. If you followed it to the end in the North, there you will find a vast ocean, known as the Razor Abyss. Razor reefs prevent any vessel from crossing. It is assumed that Northrot lies beyond this ocean.


Tarragon Warrens~is in the south of the lands, where two extinct volcanoes lie. There is a wide territory of forest that separate the two extinct volcanoes. Within the crater bowl of these extinct volcanoes, a green valley with a lake at one end. Both are mirrored images of each other. Around the inside perimeter of the crater are caves that were made into homes for dragon riders and their dragons. Both Warrens work together to help keep the lands and skies safe. There is a dirt road that leads into the base of the volcano, for Caravans to bring in their supples and wares. At the end of the tunnel it opens up into a vast area. Hatching cavern directly across from the lake at the other end of the crater bowl. Not far from the hatching cavern lies barracks, one for females and one for males. The barracks are large enough for a hatchling to curl up on a small stone couch next to each cot. Each cot and stone couch is curtained off for some privacy, much like a medical bay. Each barrack is large enough to accommodate sixty new riders along with their hatchling. Thirty bay to each side of the Barrack, with a very large common area at one end of the building, along with a door that is large enough to accommodate the dragon hatchlings to safely walk through them. Each Barrack also has a hot spring it was built around to accommodate bathing.

When dragons are hatched, the hatchlings are about the size of a large German Sheppard. Each day their size increases. The amount of the increase would coincide with their being a small, medium or large dragon. By the end of two weeks they are about half the size they will become, (making them rideable), reaching their full size by a month. But even though they are full size they don't have the bulk on them that an older dragon does so they can easily be identified still as a young dragon. So... at about a month old. They are their full length, but not as "bulky" as an adult dragon. They would not be able to fit into the dining hall or any inside "human" room anymore, and they are no longer "hatchlings" but are young dragons. Picture... pre-teens or teenagers. They are not yet adjusted to their new reach or in total control of their limbs. Telepathic, mostly with their bondmate...they will speak to any other dragons or sentient animals like the Octequigons. They will only speak to another rider or non-rider if they have to like in an emergency, or with a Candidate or potential Candidate. Chosen Ones are those who have been chosen by a Octequigon.

Next to the Barracks is the Med Clinic, for all things medical. Then comes the Council Hall. Then down near the lake, the Dining Hall, kitchens and storage cavern are located. Coal storage is locate near the entrance where the stables are located. Stables are used for the Octequigon or horses, since they do not feel comfortable around the dragons, so an area was barred off away from the dragons. Along the inner walls of the crater bowl, steps were constructed to reach the caverns. The largest cavern is closest to the Hatching Cavern, and consists of two large connect caverns, one with a hot spring used for bathing. These rooms are saved for the Warren Lady and her mate, the Warren Leader. All other caverns are a one room cavern. All caverns including the Warren Lady/Leader's have ledges to accommodate their dragons. Warren Lady's/Leader's caverns and ledge is always much larger than any other. Their ledge needs to accommodate two dragons. Two large caverns with hotsprings. One on the far side of the crate bowl, near the ground, while the other is near the entrance, also near the ground. Elven magic was used for a privacy barrier. The one near the entrance is male dragonriders only, while the other is females only. The privacy barrier is set to keep out the opposite gender.


Arithemar~is home to the Elves. It is located just outside of Tarragon Warrens, spreading out among the forested land toward the middle of Tarragon lands. There is a protective barrier around the perimeter of Arithemar to keep danger at bay.

Kelna Vale~is home of the Shapeshifters. It is a mountainous range that circle a valley. To get into the valley, you would need to travel the winding and dangerous tunnels. One wrong turn and you will end up at the bottom of a very dark ravine. A thick forest of trees surround the mountain range, leading toward the north, with the tree-line ending approximately twenty feet from the water's edge of the Razor Abyss, a vast ocean that spreads further north.

Northrot~is the smallest land mass which it is assumed lies to the north, across the Razor Abyss. Razor reefs prevent any vessel from crossing. It is an evil and dark place.

Dasfield~is home to the Humans. It lies far to the east of Tarragon Lands. The city is very large and was named after the very first Human King Dasfield.

Qresh Channel~separates Tarragon and the much smaller land mass of Khilheim, home of the Dwarves.

Khilheim~is the home of the Dwarves. The actual city is located on the very top of a mountain, with tunnels and caverns that lead down inside the mountain. This is where they do their most precious metalwork, as well as mining. There is many entrances/exits within the base of the mountain, but all are well hidden to outsiders. To get to the city proper, one would have to travel up the side of the mountain, to a large guarded gate. No outsides have set foot within the mountain or it's city on top. It is forbidden. But, times change as does the dangers.


Note: I shall add more descriptions to each of the cities later, so all know where various things like the Healers, Blacksmith etc...lie within the cities.

Question how many main characters are we allowed?

No more than three. An when posting for one, always at the top of the post put this: OOC: Posting for Arne <---or name of the one you are posting for. If you have one character who is interacting with another of you characters along with someone else's characters...then in that OOC...you'll put all names of the characters in that specific area.

For example: Let's just say you have three characters...two of which are in Arithemar where A'loiene and Talyn is. At the top of your post you will put in OOC you're posting for both characters and put their names.
For the third character, lets say he/she is in Kelna Vale, apart from your other two characters. In the same post, I need you to put your first post, with the OOC of the characters at the top...then put a space between the first part of the post and place OOC for your next character.

Example:
OOC: Posting for A'loiene and A'matis in Kelna Vale.

IC:

A'loiene stood alone in the tunnel passage leading out of Kelna Vale. She hadn't left Kelna Vale since she arrived as a babe. This would be her first time setting foot outside the city. She turned back to see A'matis approaching. She gave a soft smile as the shifter came to a stop beside her. "Nervous are you?" A'loiene nodded as she looked off down the tunnel. "No need to be, I'll be with you." A'matis replied. A'loiene smiled and gave a nod before heading off down the tunnel with A'matis at her side.

OOC: Posting for Alinar in Arithemar.

IC:
Alinar sat atop Bastian, his Octequigon. He was just about to head outside the barrier to hunt when a runner came up to him, handing him a message. The small boy of twelve waited quietly as Alinar read the message. Alinar nodded. "Tell Soryn I'll be there as soon as I have returned from hunting." he said as he gave the boy a small nod, then added. "I'll just have to visit the Weaponsmaster for my practice, after I see Soryn." the boy nodded and ran off back in the direction he came from, while Alinar headed toward the barrier.



See how that looks neat? This way all know where your character is before they read your post. If your first posting is an extremely long one...then make a second post for your next character.

In fact I think i might put this example in with the rules.....

Can I have another character then? And for shapeshifters what kind of names do you mean? Also is it okay to use a photo for my character if I can have another one.
