Fractus

In the land of Fractus the world we live in is shared with dragons. Dragons have come to accept and live alongside humans for the survival and future of the lands. But not all feel that way both human and dragon kind alike. Dragons and humans are able to form bonds that allow humans to ride them, understand them, and use them in everyday life. But the bond also helps the dragons reach full potential. In the past dragons would eat and feed on humans for the essence they need to mature and grow and live long lives. With the truce between them the dragons had to find a new way to receive the essence. It was found that dragons could receive essence from the human they are bonded to through "physical contact". The more intense and strong the bond between the two the more essence was shared. Dragons began taking human form to receive the essence but afterwards realized becoming a dragon again required the human they bonded to. Thous that bonded with dragons were from that point called The Fated. Thous destined to be riders. When a pair is found it is almost always at a breeding ground. Dragons may...or may not allow humans into the breeding grounds depending on the dragon. But the bond is made as soon as a human enters the ground. They are almost guided to the dragon egg with their partner. Thus the name Fated.

(A)Dragail is an academy that is funded and supported by the United Dragon Human Allied Nations. Or UDHAN Corp as it is commonly known. It was made to train young dragon riders properly. Not only do they learn more about the dragons they are bonded to but they learn how to fight alongside them. The academy itself is the size of a small country to accommodate living arrangements as well as breeding grounds for the dragons.

(B)The Kingdom of Linx is the largest and most diverse land in Fractus. Dragons of many types are born and raised in these lands. They are mostly peaceful with the humans and openly invite humans into the breeding grounds. The UDHAN Corp main headquarters is located here. It is run by the ruler of the Kingdom. Lord Calen Linx the Third. His family has ruled the lands for many years. His great grandfather was the first human to be named Fated and brought the unity into place when he and his dragon partner  stopped the 2nd great Dragon-Human war.

(C)Gravis is a wasteland mostly populated by dragons with a few outlying towns. The land is very dangerous and the dragons are not as friendly but bonds made with them are strong. Dragons born in Gravis are almost always flightless. But even so they are some of the most fearsome. They fear no other dragon and have great pride in the power of their bodies.

(D)The Kingdom of Kenz is a small kingdom but known for its power. The kingdom has been known to produce some of the strongest fire dragons known to history. Both flying and non flying type dragons have been seen from this nation but they all almost always produce fire elemental powers and skills. The ruler King Ravus has a deep seated hate for dragons. But he knows his kingdom is too small to challenge the UDHAN Corp. For now at least. Dragons are treated more as property, pets, and tools in the kingdom. The bonds created reflect more of a master slave role than that of a partnership. Regardless the bond the riders of this kingdom share a power all their own.

To the west the lands of Himori(E) and Tygus(F) remain mostly unexplored and unfounded by the humans. Himori is the land of the ancients to the dragons. To this date humans have been forbidden to enter. Tygus to the north of Himori is run by
Olaris
A Spectral dragon that has been alive for centuries. Many dragons say he should have passed to Himori years ago but the unity of human and dragon kind changed his mind. He is bent to one day purge the world of human kind. And any dragon that may step in his way. Many dragons follow him. If not out of respect, then out of fear.



Dragons and Humans
Dragons are all different with there own set of skills abilities and traits. Dragons typically eat the same foods as humans but have been noted to become intoxicated much quicker than humans. They also sport a larger libido. Even when dragons take human form they retain slightly pointy ears and eyes that still resemble a dragon. A special trait dragons have is called the Dracona. A mental database for the knowledge and memories of dragons that came before them. They say the knowledge comes from Himori but humans know nothing else of it. Young dragons use it frequently for information on things they dont understand. Although ancient dragon knowledge sometimes fall short when it comes to humans. To humans they may have been at peace for a long time. But for dragons it is still new. Information on humans is constantly being added and changed.

All dragons can swim but it has been noticed that flightless dragons excel in swimming more so than their cousins with wings. But dragons able to fly seem to be able to access their magical skills and abilities much easier. Not to say that flightless dragons do not have powers to equal that. But flightless dragons tend to boast about the physical strength over the magical. Flying dragons on the other hand seem to find themselves smarter and more powerful than flightless for the opposite reasons. A fight between dragons over this debate is quite common.

Dragons have 3 main forms. Human form, Half shift, and Full dragon. Once a dragon and a human are bonded a human form is taken by the young dragon. Its half shift form is all a young bonded dragon is able to take on its own without it's human around. At half shift a dragon has access to the Dracona and 35% of its magical abilities as well as 50% of its natural strength. (At half shift flightless dragons are easily strongest.) Full shift can only be achieved with the presence of a partner. As the rider constantly feeds the dragon essence through touch. A dragon can receive and fill up on essence through other activities. Unbonded dragons can still only receive essence by eating humans. Some have even tried draining humans blood slowly as to make them last longer. As the days of simply hunting them have come to an end.

Dragons that have bonded with Humans can share thoughts with their partner. Their minds become almost as one and the most skilled pairs have boasted that their hearts became one. At full shift for a dragon, human riders gain a sort of half shift that give them 50% of the dragons physical strength and 75% of its magical ability. Besides being able to control the magical powers the dragon may have (to individual ability) but they are also able to manifest a soul weapon. A weapon made up of the bond between dragon and rider. The stronger the bond the strong the weapon. If a bond is weak then they weapon crumbles in the wind, returning to the nothingness it was created from.

The power differences in the half shifts between humans and dragons seems to be based on the type of transformation. For a dragon its more of a physical change but for a human to use a dragons skill and or powers its more of a magical change. Non flying types and their riders will always excel in physical strength regardless of the half shift. But riders of flying dragons excel in half shifted form from the magical boost.



So I was thinking that everyone play one half of the pair. So either a human or a dragon. Girls or boys and all pairs accepted. I won't push my thoughts or ideals on anyone. It may also be nice if everyone creates one of each just in case there are not enough players for each human to have a dragon or vise verse. Having everyone start out as first years at the academy and moving from there. I think if everyone puts up characters and then message in dm's to pick pairs it will make it more interesting game. Also you can talk about each others ons and offs and such to make sure no one is unhappy in a pair and that the rp flows nicely. Thoughts and ideas??

The pendant around her neck is filled with essence given to her by a elder so that she could make it to the academy on her own. Secretly hoping to find her Fated Shizuka joins the academy as an unmanned dragon which marks her as dangerous to the humans.

Mind if I post an app?
I have a reasonable idea for a dragon character, even if he is unimaginatively fire-based.
Well, if I had to give a reason for my actions, I guess it's because I love people. I guess I wanted to see the faces that mankind has to offer.

Bookmarked and will post a wip skeleton sheet for time being.

Main Character - Flying Dragon: Tetsu - First Year
Name: Tetsu
Race: Dragon: Flying
Birthplace: Tygus
Personality: Varies with each of his forms, he has a multiple personality complex going on.
Human: Tetsu has some strong stereotypical issues when being in human form and by all means, he takes it to the extreme. He plays the role of weak and helpless all too well; of course, this is from his own keen points of viewing humans as such that it influences him to act in this manner. Not only that, but he loathes being human amongst everything else and often time tries to conceal his identity whiles restricted as such. He is more quiet and reserve and generally keeps to himself, some at the academy may see it as a blessing for him to remain in this state as much as he foresees it as a curse.
Half Dragon: His half dragon form makes him more rambunctious in nature. He is always, always picking a fight with every other dragon he may cross paths with, even if it ends up as physical brawls with the stronger land dragons. He has a strong alpha complex going on in mentally, seeing himself as number one and always attempting to challenge everything in his path. This of course may make him quite the troublemaker around the academy, not to mention tarnish his reputation further as he is often at the same time foreseen as the weakest of dragons given his piling lost record. He makes it a habit to not show his true ability skill against fellow 'comrades,' and those that seen him fight usually just see a changing in tint of his scales, which could lead to assumptions that he is only absorbing their powers for defense as he doesn't use it offensively. 
Dragon: His dragon persona is the most terrifying of them all, maybe not as downright evil as some dragons from Tygus may be- although it would of been if not for past events,- but still it leaves much more to be desired. As a dragon, his primary goal is the enslavement of humankind, although he has yet to make any bold attempts to such but some can see it in his manner of speech in his true form. He looks down on mortals and even dragons that may be bonded to them, who may kneel over willingly to their riders. He is a bit more stubborn and colder in nature.
Special Skills/Powers: Mimicry. A natural ability, although not without limits. Tetsu possesses a rare trait in copying another dragon’s power for his own. Although it is also a dangerous power in itself as he must take damage from whatever source to store it. The colors of his scales change as a result to reflect the elements or characteristics of the powers he learns. He can only presently possess three powers at one time and when a new one is gained the oldest is replaced.  Not only that, but the proficiency of that power is lowered each time he takes on an additional one. (Example, if he is just mimicking fire he would be 100% control over it, but if there is other elements such as ice and/or lightening added then his control will drop to 50% for two and 33% with all three.) Also what powers he has gained are immediately lost should he ever assume human form for whatever reason.
Soul Weapon: (empty till pair is confirmed)
Bio: Much of Tetsu’s past is unknown and that which is, is mere fabrication to the entire school body. He claims to be from the Linx Kingdom, though usually shrugs off the politics of who may be in charge there by titling them as ‘some human’ or ‘I don’t have time to worry who rules humans,’ and other dodgy answers of that nature. One reason is the fact that his Dracona is not as up to date as other dragons may be, so even in historical fields he falls at a short end of the stick.

His reason of being at the Academy is simple enough, a project from orders from Olaris passed down from his superiors which came down to him along with a few other dragons at the time. The subjugation of the human race, probably a tall command to accomplish alone, though the Academy itself is a prime example to be targeted with its raising of dragons and humans alike.  Of course it is up to Tetsu how to go about this ordeal and even he does not know how many others had infiltrated the Academy to carry out this mission.

This also reflects to some of his habits in confrontation when not going all out against a fellow dragon. He sees no need of alarming the others of his tricks, allowing them to merely believe him to be one of the weakest at the Academy. He is somewhat discrete about  his duties and intends to achieve them at his pace, This does not mean he cannot have a bit of fun as well in studying his prey and relaying any potential threats back to his superiors should chances surface. 
Half Form

Base Dragon Form

Side Character - Human: Felicia Godwind - WIP Third Year

Name: Felicia Godwind
Race: Human
Birthplace: Kenz
Personality: Felicia is what many may call a perfectionist and coming from Kenz does not save grace of her very persona. She is cold towards any she may consider to be beneath her. Being a member of the disciplinary community within Dragail has even further sour her character, some may say(of course, don't let her catch on to that.) She does not have time for goofing off or playing around, diligent in her duties inside and outside of the Academy. Her opinions on dragons are the same that many in Kenz share, that they are nothing more than pets, property of their owners. She also does not care what one's social status may be in the world, it will not alter her judgment in abiding by the rules and principles that the Academy itself has set for its students. If someone believes in the slightest that their title in life will save them from her punishment, then they have another thing coming. Beyond this, she is mostly seen alone or being trailed behind by a smaller group of those that may be considered to be 'elites'  of the Disciplinary community.
Special Skills/Powers: (empty till pair is confirmed/unless dragon)
Soul Weapon: (empty till pair is confirmed)
Bio:
Uniform
Trap

NPC - Gliding Dragon: Obisa - Bonded to Felicia

Name: Obisa
Race: Dragon: Glider
Birthplace: Gravis
Personality: Obisa is not very much a people person, more often keeping to herself than anything else. She actively does not engage in conflict with others, unless absolutely necessary and there are few to hear her even talk. Some may expect it could be a temperament trait to her species as she is also found lounging in some of the strangest or harder to reach places throughout the Academy. She does make a habit to conceal herself or presence from others as much as possible and usually she does ’shadow’ her owner around in the distance. 
Special Skills/Powers: Paralysis. Not one possessing a lot of strength as land dragons are notorious known for, she uses her smaller stature and high agile reflexes to the fullest with her paralyzing ability. She can induce chemicals from her talons, fangs, and even the razors within her tail to numb an opposing target and leave them at her mercy. Not only this, but she often whips her tail around to send the razors flying at an opponent or even group, leaving her not just limited to close quarter combat. The potency of course depends on the opponent, although once enough build up is reach they will find themselves at the mercy of Obisa.

What is the tech lvl in this game?

KnightNelson20

As far as technology goes in this world it is mainly a magic based. No internet or cars or such. But cell phones are present and work through magic for military and school uses mainly. And the kingdom of kenz is the only holders of anti dragon ranged weapons. Magically powers "guns" of sorts. They shoot an energy that is harmful to a dragons essence flow.

Izaya Orihara

Here's the app that I've ironed out a fair bit, in terms of personality and some of the bio:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Name: Yashamaru
Race: Dragon
Birthplace: Kenz
Personality: See bio, I kinda got it mixed up with it.
Special Skills/Powers: Fire Manipulation. Supernatural Regeneration.
Soul Weapon: (empty till pair is confirmed)
Bio: Born as a powerful fire dragon, he was nonetheless not exactly treated particularly well in Kenz. Though his own line can be considered that of a Draconic noble type, he was subject to the kind of discrimination typical of the kingdom. As such, whilst to a degree arrogant, he harbours both a superiority and an inferiority complex, despite his intelligence. He's often serious, yet at the same time disdainful of others, often laughing when opponents claim that they can defeat him, unless they tie in with things he's come to fear.

He possesses both a superiority complex and an inferiority complex. He usually considers most other people weaker, and beneath him. He treats them as you might expect, yet when he believes others to be stronger- a rare thing indeed, or they have proven themselves to be stronger, Yashamaru obsesses over them, wanting to become as strong as them, yet also seeming fanatical towards them, and perhaps as scared of them. He believes honesty to be a naive trait held by the foolish, and trusts no one, accordingly. He can seem quite charming and friendly, though he usually only has his own interests at heart, not believing others to be capable of truly caring. He can be manipulative, though he's often just distant and overcautious. At times, he can seem emotionless, with his odd state perhaps being the cause of that.Whilst appearing quite manipulative- a form of psychological counter-measure to the way others have manipulated and treated him, he's also quite uncomfortable around women, and could be considered something of a tsundere. Part of his past may have included a few human noblewomen treating him like trash at various points.

Sometimes he can be brutal, impulsive, excessively-violent and possessing of a lethally-short temper. However, despite his aggression and obvious blood lust in battle, he can possess a feral cunning and has a knack for quickly exploiting any opening his opponent reveals. In addition, he can be blunt and sarcastic, revealing a psychotic grin or laughing maniacally whenever he becomes excited sometimes, or eerily silent, cold and disdainful at other times. He is also very rude and quite disrespectful at times, and mockingly polite, cunning and manipulative at others. Though most of these aspects are elements of a complex personality created in order to deal with his dark and not exactly pleasant past, with such an array of façades created as a result. Not unsurprisingly, he's also avoided bonding whenever he could. Due to a certain affinity to conflict, he's become quite a skilled swordsman whilst in human form.

He ended up convincing himself to come to the academy, though he holds no trust for humans, and even holding such an emotion for his own kind is a rarity. Not particularly burdened by morals, he has little issue regarding killing humans in secret to gain their essence if necessary. Though he knows that will inevitably make him suffer further at the hands of humans, in due time.

Despite his warped personality, he enjoys nature and can be seen to be friendly with various wild animals, who seem to be quite friendly in return. Not in any odd way, in case you're wondering.

I was wondering how dragons age. Since they meet their human while still in their egg how long does it take them to become adults? And are you thinking that the game would be more about already comfortable together pairs or newer ones?
In the process of moving, so posts may be slow
Need an idea?        Ons and Offs

Tydorei

Good question. I would assume that age fast at the start... and possibly throw in a 'Time skip'... Yeah. I vote for some rp with the hatching... then a 'Time skip'

KnightNelson20

Dragons age quickly at first. At least it seems quick to humans. To other dragons recently hatched dragons no matter how they appear in age are still babies. An adult dragon has lived at least 1 century. As far as the bond/time for each pair that is dependent on the pairs. For example, my dragon has yet to met her pair but has already come to the academy. That is rare but happens. So when pairs meet and how they come can be between the two. If you wish to rp the hatching process and such I have no problems with it.

BUT we do need some human cs's to bond to these dragons!!!!

"Shifted form"
Name: Zephaniah
Race: Dragon
Birthplace: Gravis
Personality: Her personality changes drastically when in the different forms as she shifts around, the different mind set come into play. When she is a human, she is quite shy and doesn't want to get into large groups out of fear. It is this fear that causes so much of her to stay out of more public places and out of the way of people. When she is the shifted form, she is more talkative and willing to talk to more people as she is less afraid of the others around her. She is often very friendly and wanting to help the others around her. When she is in her dragon form that causes her to become more aggressive and angry with others as she closes off from the others around her
Special Skills/Powers: Though many of the others would have magical abilities, she has instead more natural abilities, such as she can copy any animal's natural ability as long as she thinks about the creature. If she becomes distracted she loses the animal's ability. Applies to shifted and Dragon form
Soul Weapon: (empty till pair is confirmed)
Bio: Pending

"Human"

Im sorry Godric I forgot to say no dragons are born in Himori. It is only a place for elder dragons. But thank you for making a human as well :)

Also unrelated to the above cs but all dragons have supernatural regeneration. To go past whats natural would be the power of healing itself.

KnightNelson20

When a dragon and human bond the life of a human does not get extended. But when the human reaches the end of its life and is bonded then he/she can give the remaining essence. What happens after that is "unknown" to humans as well as how it is done.

It is possible to be a dragon and not bonded as mine is but please explain how you traveled to the academy. And yes i would like most pairs already bonded if possible.

Fixed, is it much better?

I will be applying with just a human, if that's ok. I will make a dragon, if needed. Also, it was my understanding dragons only needed humans to reach adulthood. I'm not surprised the humans don't gain longer life spans from that.

By the way, I'm more interested in a flightless dragon as a partner. But I will take a flying one if I must. Will have a human character up later tonight.

KnightNelson20

Yes Godric thank you.
And its fine if you only make a human Tydorei. I was hoping to see a few land dragons as well. Hope one turns up.

Color me interested, it seems we need more humans at the moment so I'd start with making a human female for the game. Place my dragon idea on the back burner till we get a few more players.

KnightNelson20

Awesome thank you Kitten and thank you also Godric I should have put a spot for type of dragon. That was a misstep on my part.

CurvyKitten

This may seem like a dumb question, but what is the time setting within the game. More of a mid-evil setting, or is it more modern with technology and so forth?

KnightNelson20

Its a mix kind of between modern and mid-evil. But technology is run more by magic than by electricity.
