Dragon Wings - open to join!
Posted: 11 Apr 2014, 21:40
*You can post your joining forms here, and discussion about the RP is allowed and encouraged, however there is a discussion thread if you want to have longer conversations without clogging the RP http://forums.berksgrapevine.com/topic/10221169/1/ . However, if you are posting here, please put OOC (out of character) things in parentheses or brackets.*
When the Vikings made peace with the dragons, they attracted the attention of a third party they'd never seen. The Dragonwings, winged humans with bladed dragon tails and illusion powers, watched the Vikings on Berk until they were sure they could trust them. Now, a year later, the Dragonwings have come out of the shadows, led by their queen, a young Dragonwing girl named Jaykala Kalana (Usually called Jay for short. Kalana is the title given to Dragonwing queens.) And she was riding a Night Fury, the only female Night Fury known to be alive. And every one of the Dragonwings, even the children, rode a dragon. Some Vikings are happy to accept the Dragonwings into the village, but some don't trust the riders who appeared from the shadows...
This RP takes place a year after the events of How To Train Your Dragon. Since the appearance of the Dragonwings definitely changes things, none of the things that happen in the second season of the show (if you've seen it.) You can be a Viking, a Dragonwing, or a dragon, and both canon characters and original characters are available. Dragonwings can speak to dragons and understand what they say, but humans don't have this ability. There are Dragonwings in other places, too, just so you know. Not sure if this matters or not, but whatever. Also, there is a new aspect that a Dragonwing can be part of a specific dragon heritage - half Nadder, half Monstrous Nightmare, etc. and families have the same wings, and the royal family are the ones with Night Fury wings. Every Dragonwing has powers from their parents specific to their dragon. If both their parents were Dragonwings, they have 2 powers, but if one parent was human, they only have 1 power. Powers are specific to the species, not the individual.
Powers that have been already determined -
Nadder: Spiked tail with shootable spines
Skrill: Redirect lightning
Night Fury: Fastest Dragonwings, very weak plasma blast with shot limit of one. You can't join as a Night Fury dragonwing right now - the only ones are Jay and Meyla - but that may change in the future.
Rules (I don't like them either, but they're necessary.)
1. No powerplaying
2. Please try to keep the proportion of species (Human, Dragonwing. There will probably be more dragons.) and genders even.
3. There are only two known Night Furies, Toothless and Ika (Jay's dragon), that the Dragonwings and Vikings know about, although all of the hidden ones have been discovered. There can be up to 3 Night Furies hiding, and a baby Night Fury as well, but you have to ask first. Currently the three adult wild Night Furies are available.
4. Be nice OOC (out of character).
5. Dragonwings only know dragon language because they grow up with them. A human character who grew up only among humans will not suddenly discover an ability to talk to dragons, although if they for some reason grew up with dragons they could be able to. Likewise, a Dragonwing who for some reason grew up away from dragons will not speak dragon language.
6. Please put the codeword 'potato' in your form. I know codewords are annoying, but this makes it so I can find all the forms just by searching for potato. It also ensures that you have read the rules, which you should have done anyway.
7. If you join while I am not on you can still rp until I get on to approve you.
8. You can only ride one large dragon, you can have a small dragon like a Terrible Terror as well (Like Hiccup had both Toothless and Sharpshot (that was the terror's name, right?)) but you can't have two dragons large enough to ride.
9. If you have a canon character or a character that is very important to the RP at that point (like if you're leading some kind of expedition as an example) you must be active.
Dragon language words (anyone can make up their own just say what it means, for example you can have a dragon whose name means something)
Ika=Star
Kalana=Queen
Dreki Vaenger=Dragonwing
Dreki=Dragon
Vaenger=Wing
Riya=Flame
Flaern=River
Kiyana=Rider
Nael=Night
Kirl=Fury
Naelkirl=Night Fury
Diac=Empty
Diac Nael=Empty Night, a Dragonwing curse (note: I didn't make up the phrase 'empty night' as a swear, it's from the Dresden Files)
Here is an example of what a Dragonwing looks like, drawn by me:
