Burning Embers

▕▁▁▁▁▁▁▵▁▁▁▁▁▁▏



The Kingdom of Ederia is famed for a lot of things, attaining high praise from all those that look upon her. However, there is one thing Ederia is most renowned for: Dragon Riders. The only Kingdom to have come up with a way to tame the legendary beasts, to ride upon their backs as one. It has been like this for decades, perhaps even centuries, few really know. And, together in harmony, Dragons and Humans have lived, creating a proserpous nation.

The Dragon Academy of Ederia is like none other, literally there are no others known to the world. A place where young students who have been lucky enough to be chosen by their dragons go to learn to become the most revered role in all of Ederia: Dragon Riders. Few are selected, as dragons are known to be an entirely selective species, but those who are chosen must learn quickly, and that is where the Academy comes in. Exerpienced riders teach the fledgling riders and their dragons how to work together as one, as well as everything the youths will need to know about dragons and what they are up against in the world.

It sounds like a beautiful, wonderful place, right?

Too bad all good things must come to an end.

Jealous nations, wanting to claim the glory for themselves and bring down Ederia have set their sights on destroying the Academy. It was only a matter of time before the succeeded too. One night, the forces of another Kingdom infilitrated the Kingdom, intent on burning it all. And they did. The Academy was destroyed, the cities burned, and it's occupants, the ones who tried to resist and fight back, were slaughtered. In hopes of preserving a little bit of their legacy so that hope would remain, the Leaders of Ederia and the Dragon Riders commanded the students to flee, to survive, to learn.

As the battle raged on for Ederia, the students fled, looking back on the carnage behind them, hoping that one day they could come back and restore their beloved Kingdom.

The Rules of the Roleplay
Follow all of WP's and Eve's Rules.
1. Be Active. Sometimes I'm not on for a couple of days, but I expect everyone to be as active as they can for the rp. Unless you are waiting for someone to post, you should be posting.
2. Reservations last 48 hours. You know how I work if they aren't done in time.
3. Finish the characters you post first, before creating new ones.
4. For now, limit of Four characters per person. 2 Rider, 2 Dragon.
5. Semi-Realism and Semi-Literacy are required. Please do not make me explain myself.
6. Dragons are classed solely by their colors, they all have the same powers and weaknesses though. Stick to their base descriptions for your dragons, and expand from there.
7. The riders are new, they will not be experts at Dragon Riding. Mistakes will be made, and they do not know everything.
8. For now, your dragon and your rider cannot be partners, this it to prevent people from not having others to post with. Please find a pair for your characters prior to the rp starting, if you do not, I will asign them.
9. Ask permission from the Roleplayer if you wish to be their character's partner, however, do not try and force it. There will be someone else out there for you.
10. Try to keep things even with genders, it's much more interesting if things are diverse.

About the Academy
The Academy was found by some of the first generations of riders, wanting a streamlined way for new riders to learn and grow safely. It features basic education as well as everything revolving around dragons from care to flight to sparring, and everything in between and beyond.

The Academy is much like modern day college, in the fact that the chosen riders leave home to live on the grounds. Their dragons also live on the grounds in the rookery, though are typically much less happy about it than the humans. The humans are split into two dorms, one for boys and one for boys, and are assigned rooms that they share with two people in each room. Each of the dorms have common rooms where the students can relax on down time, and a dining hall for meals, though they aren't always required to eat there.

The Dragon counterparts stay in one of the two rookeries. The first is the top level of the school, carved out and fitted so that each dragon has a little outcropping of space for its nest. It's a very large and open room, and spans much of the building. It has openings on either broadside that the dragons can enter through by flight or glide. There is also a human door that allows the students access as well.

The second rookery is underground, a expanse of cave systems that gives each dragon a bit more privacy than in the first rookery. Each dragon has its own cave, and the nests are all connect by a system of tunnels which then connect to the large main tunnel, which can easily fit multiple dragons in it at once, that leads to the entrance. Ironically, the tunnel entrance itself looks like a cave mouth until one were to venture within it further.


About the Dragons
There are a variety of dragons in the world, though everyone single one of them fall into one of the classes listed below. Each Class has been determined based off its characteristics and its singular special ability. While each dragon within a single class will vary considerably, they all have similar traits that they carry and specifications they fall into.


All the dragons in the Rp are the same age group of young adult, which is the stage where they are 50 years old or above, becoming full adults at about 250 years. The older a dragon gets the longer the aging stage lasts, ergo ancient is longer than adult, which is longer than young adult, which is longer than their adolescent stage, and so on and so forth. Dragons are considered semi-immortal but it has never been proven what age they die naturally at.
Below each Class of dragon will have a basic description that each dragon has in its foundation. It will include things like height, traits, etc that you will need to include.

Classes
Each Class of Dragon has color variations within it, all dragons within that Class share a special power that the other classes do not have.


Fire Class
Common
Special Ability: Extremely Hot Fire Breath
The Ability is to breath hot fire, varying in degrees through their control. It isn't enough to melt Dragon Scales, however, it can melt metal, stone, wood, etc. Relies upon the dragon being well fed to sustain the flame. Lack of food = lack of flame. Use does burn energy.

Available Slots: 0/2


Air Class
Uncommon
Special Ability: Freezing Breath
Not to mistaken for Ice Breath, which is the Breating of Ice, Air Dragon's have Breath so cold it freezes things. They obviously don't always use it, so it is an elective power they have control over. Like the others, this requires energy, the more they use it, the more tired they become and less effective it is.
Color Variations: White & Pastel Colors
Size: 6ft - 10ft at the Shoulders
Traits: Peaceful, Passive, Compassionate, Light Hearted, Easy Going
Build: Slim, petite dragons with large wings for their bodies. Fastest of the dragons when flying. Not very hardy in comparison to others, slim figure built for speed and agility. Smallest of all the dragons.

Earth Class
Common
Special Ability: Acid Spit
This is an ability that's primary function is to air in burrowing. The spit has a mild decaying aspect, and soften hardened ground to make digging easier.

They have acid glands, which have a limited quantity that replenish over time (talking hours).
Color Variations: Greens & Browns
Size: 10ft to 15ft at the Shoulders
Traits: Calm, Serious, Determined, Hard Working
Build: Earth Dragons are one of the largest classes, and are the bulkiest. Heavily muscled, the carry around a heavy assortment of scales. They are built like battening rams which makes them slow. They cannot fly, but have small wings or frills on the legs and sides that allow them to glide.

Available Slots: 0/2

Light Class
Rare
Special Ability: Blinding Light
Light Dragons can emit a flash of blinding light, think flash bang without the bang, which can temporarily blind and/or stun opponents. They have one good charge in them before they need to rest for an average of 3 hours to even get enough for anything useful. They can all use it in a more mild manor where they illuminate their body, something that doesn't require much energy, and might even be more natural. This is controlled though, and can be turned off. This is recharged through the sun.
Color Variations: Gold, White, Silver, & Opalescent/Pearlescent
Size: 8ft - 14ft at the Shoulder; Their Wings Make Then Look Taller
Traits: Good, Calm, Kind, Open, Intelligent & Wise
Build: Tall, they have a Powerful Build to them, but they are more lean. More Lean than Fire Dragons, but not as much as Water Dragons. They have the largest of wings, so it makes them seem bigger than they are.
Habitat: Anywhere, Like to Live Among Other Dragons (Espeically Air Dragons)

Available Slots: 0/1


Dark Class
Rare
Special Ability: Smog Breath
Able to emit noxious gas that is dark in color, Dark Dragons primarily use their ability for defense. It provides cover, the dark plume both physically hiding them as well as causing confusion within anyone trapped within the fog or inhales it too much (3+ breaths). The gas is fueled by a chemical reaction caused from stored minerals gain from mushrooms. When those stores are empty, they can't create it. The smog can also emit from glands beneath the wings and at the tip fo the tail.
Color Variations: Black, Near Black Colors, Iridescent
Size: 9ft - 13ft at the Shoulder
Traits: Elusive, Solitary, Highly Intelligent, Wary
Build: Lean and Muscular, Just slightly leas built than Fire Dragons. Almost Cat Like in Movement, Very Graceful. Well Balanced Proportions for Speed, Grace, and Strength.
Habitat: Any place that isn't easily accessible or darkest
Strengths/Weaknesses: Immune to Most Toxins, Stealthy, Silent When Flying, Can use Smog Breath to Create Cover, Breath is Highly Flammable, Sensitive to Light and Fire, Camoflauges Well, Sensitive Sound and Scents
Available Slots: 0/1


Available Slots means how many spots remain open of the spots created for that class. So 2/2 would mean two of two spots open. Whereas 0/2 would mean there are no spots open for that class.
Sorry for any confusion!

Additional Information & First Posts

Setting
It's importan to not that this takes place in more medieval times, so no modern day technology or weaponry, etc.


The Academy
The academy has a few classrooms, but much of the training takes place outside since much of the training is about dragons, riding, fighting, etc.


For the Initial Posts
The posts will start at the Choosing Ceremony. It doesn't have a special name, but it's where the dragons come and choose their riders. The choosing day happens once to twice a year, dependent entirely on how many unclaimed dragons arrive at the school throughout the year after sensing their rider. Typically they do it once enough riders graduate to free up space, but they'll do it a second time if there is a flux of unclaimed dragons who enter the school grounds to wait for the next Choosing Day.


For the Choosing Day
All the eligible students will arrive at a great clearing, their futures uncertain. They have no idea if they'll get chosen or not, as the number of humans always greatly out numbers the number of dragons. However, the dragons know their rider is there. There is really no rhyme or reason to how they know, they just do, it's like a feeling, an instinct.


The humans will stay in the clearing until all the dragons have chosen their rider. The instinct within the dragons will lead them to their rider, and when they find them, the mind link with snap into place, something that will be mentally felt automatically by the dragons, but only by the human when the dragon speaks or touches the human for the first time.

The mental link may be painful for some of the humans upon first contact, mental or physical, but it'll pass in short moments. The link will be weak at first, extending only about 10 feet, before it is barely felt. It'll grow in strength over time, until it can remain strong over long distances.

Once a dragon chooses its rider, it may never choose another. A human, though, can be chosen by another dragon if it's were to die. It's weird. No one questions it. The dragons also have no control over who their rider is, they cannot choose someone else simply because they do not like the human meant for them. That isn't how it works.

The "Choosing Place"


Everyone knows about the choosing place, many even know where it is, though it only ever holds the dragons and riders for the ceremony at the specific times for the ceremony. To put it simply, the Choosing Place is a valley that combines the prime terrains for all dragon times. Grassy plains cover most of the center of the valley, dense, heavy forests line the sides of the valley. There is a lake at the back of the valley that butts up against the mountains there, and it is as deep as any and capable of providing a comfortable place for water dragons to reside. Surrounding the entire valley are tall mountains, ideal for earth dragons to climb, while the soil of the entire valley is loose enough for earth dragons, even young ones, to dig through. This allows the dragons to take their riders on their "First Ride" trial, to complete the bond as Dragon and Rider.

About the Raid
As everyone knows, this rp will eventually include the academy and the Kingdom of Ederia getting attacked and basically destroyed. However, this will not occur for several weeks (in the rp, not irl). The characters should not be aware of what is going to happen, so please keep that in mind.

For your Posts
All the posts will be of the characters arriving. Riders arrive first, and the dragons will make their entrances afterwards, surveying the humans, looking for their own. Dragons might get testy if humans who aren't meant to be theirs try to approach them, and they might get aggressive towards another dragon if they find their human approaching or being approached by another dragon.

For Spell
Persephone will be at the Valley as well to get a first look at her new team, both her and her dragon will be there. She has strict instructions not to interact with any of the new riders until after their First Ride. This is to prevent her from aiding them in any way and basically tainting the bond between the new rider and their dragon. Once the First Ride trials are complete, she may then introduce herself to them, but only then.

For the First Ride Trials
These will not occur the moment the bond is created. Instead, once all dragons have chosen, they will assemble with their riders in the center of the valley. There the riders will mount their dragons for the first time, without the aid of others or any form of saddle. The lack of instruction, knowledge, and assistance is why the first ride is so dangerous: it's so easy to fall off. Once all dragons have mounted, their dragons will take off for the first ride. Because all are happening at the same time, it's a dangerous time for even the dragons, as they have to be aware of the surroundings, not only for terrain, but for other dragons too. Dragons, but with riders of their own and without, have been known to occasionally... knock a rider from their dragon. Usually this stems from a disdain for humans, or for the dragon species that they're trying to knock the rider from. Dragons may also try to knock their own rider as both a test, but also if their desire to be free is strong enough. Survival and safety are not gaurunteed during this, and riders may be injured or worse. Same goes for dragons.

Alexa Finch
Female | Dragon Rider | Mentions: Open

Light blue eyes fluttered across the field, taking in the scenary around her, trying to find the slightest sign of life lingering within them. She, like everyone else there, were looking for one thing in particular: Dragons.

They were all there for the same thing, hoping, praying, wishing, whatever it took to help them get chosen by a dragon. To be chosen by one, to be able to ride upon their back, was a great designation in their Kingdom, and something that was honored. Feet shuffled nervously as the time drew closer, and Alexa understood what was going through most of their minds. There were tens, maybe a hundred, of them all standing there in the open, but there were only a handful, maybe just a few, dragons that would choose. So many of them would return home with nothing else but the experience, but some of them would leave to the Academy to become the next Generation of Dragon Riders.

Alexa shifted nervously where she stood, and reached up to rub her upper arm in comfort. Her hair swung at her back in a ponytail, keeping it out of her face so she could look around. Uncertainty was written on her face as she watched for any sign of the dragons. She was nervous for another reason though. Her mother had been a dragon water, and as much as she had loved her mother dearly, but she had lost her, far to early in her opinion. It was the life of a dragon rider though, they never lived to old age, and it was something her mother, as well as her father, had understood. And after her mother had passed, her father had done his best to raise her properly and make sure she held no resentment towards dragons or riders for it. However, it still made her nervous that she could have the same fate as her mother.

Lifting a hand she shielded her eyes from the sun and looked around. As expected, the dragons had arrived yet, and she doubted any of them would make anything less than a grand entrance.

((Not my best))

Ryia Beaumont || Female || 17 || Asmodeus || Mentions: Other students

A vast field of green could be seen through the dense, towering, trees. There lied the sacred ground where generations of students once stood, their hopes either realized, or crushed.

Dragons; Ancient beasts with incredible strength and power. To be chosen by one was a great honor.

Ryia wandered out of the treeline, entering the edge of the clearing. Other students had already begun to gather for the choosing ceremony. Hushed whispers and murmurs hung in the air. There was a buzz in the crowd, an anxious and excited one. The mass of eligible humans gathered in the center of the clearing. Anyone had the potential to be chosen. Though the reason for being chosen is unknown, its something beyond reason and understanding. It just is.

A slight breeze blew through the clearing, rustling the tall grass, and leaves from the surrounding trees. The breeze caught the short black strands of Ryia’s hair, blowing them into her face. She tucked the runaway strands behind her ear as she made her way around the outer edge of the gathering, making her way to the rightmost front.

Finding a suitable spot to wait, Ryia stood within the shadow of a nearby tree, the leaves shadow dancing over her form. The warmth from the sun was nice, but without knowing how long she would have to wait, she opted for the cooler shade. With her arms crossed loosely over her chest, she surveyed the other students. Most were huddled together, probably talking of the one thing on everyone’s mind. Dragons.

Even Ryia’s mind got caught up in the thought. This was a once in a life time opportunity to see a dragon from this close up. In her minds eye she could still recall the silhouette of a dragon flying high above the clouds, its a cherished memory from her childhood. It was the closest she’d ever gotten to seeing one. Her heart slowly began to speed up at the thought of the powerful beasts. She shifted from one foot to the other.

Everynight for the past week, her dreams had been filled with flying, a black silhouette silently soaring beside her. She wanted to be chosen, but that choice wasn’t up to her. And her odds weren’t great either. There were many students, but only ever few dragons, from what she heard. Ryia’s index finger rhythmically tapped against her crossed arm, patiently waiting for the dragons to appear.

Please, if there’s anyone out there, let me be chosen, She sent out a silent plea.

Tyrus Rafferty
Male || Rider || Mentions: Mircea, Alexa
Indirectly Mentions: Persephone, Brontes

"Get offa me." A voice grumbled as two large hands appeared, whacking the side of an arm that was currently holding him in a headlock.

"I changed my mind. I want to leave." Tyrus, foolish as he was, had decided that morning that he would accompany Mircea and Alexa, two of his closest friends, to this Choosing Ceremony. However, that was this morning, and now that he had arrived, he had a very different idea. Especially since he had recently seen what he swore was a dragon in the far distance standing near a short woman with red hair.

It's not that Tyrus didn't want to be there. He did, only from a very far, far distance. He was all for danger and adventure, but even he had his limits, and that was dragons. You see, the male had always had one fear, and that was those.. those lizards. He despised the creatures, from their scaly skin to their beady eyes. Not to mention they could smite you in an instance. They were beasts and horrifying creatures, and Tyrus had no intention of ever being near one. There was nothing he feared more, and really, he wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was because they could light him on fire within a moment, or drop him from the sky, or step on him. One move, and he'd be dead. Dragons were fearful beasts, so really, he never understood the fascination with them. Tyrus, it seemed, hated them. He didn't know why everybody was infatuated with them. Bah, they were hideous as well, and their soulless eyes-

He was tense, a scowl darkening his features as he remained locked in a single position. "You're shorter than me, how are you doing this?" The male hissed, throwing a tantrum like a toddler. He was currently being held back from leaving by Mircea, who had noticed him inching back and decided to restrain him from going anywhere. "Just because you're a nerd that has an obsession over dragons doesn't mean I want to see them. This is why nobody likes you. Now let go of me," he said, slapping Mircea's arm that was wrapped solidly around his neck.

"You're creasing my shirt." Not that it would matter much anyways. He was dressed in a casual manner, perhaps too casual. A dark gray vest rested upon his upper body, covering a simple white shirt while his pants remained a darkened colour, almost black. Tyrus couldn't care less about his outfits, and he wasn't going to spend his finer material dressing up for dragons. So, truly, he only used the creasing line as an excuse so that he may be let go.

He should have stayed home in his tiny, shabby house. Hell, he'd rather be anywhere but where he was. What a fool he was to tag along, but no, he decided that he would be a good friend today. What a mistake. "Alexa, help me out here," he called to her, "I'm being held against my will." Continuing to slap Mircea's arm, Tyrus released a grumble before giving up. "You're lucky you're holding me, because if you weren't, you'd be on the ground beaten to a pulp." Threatening him, Tyrus found his eyes moving back to the single dragon in the valley before feeling slightly dizzy upon the sight. "It's looking at me. Is it looking at me?" God, it looked like an oversized worm. Beginning to struggle once more, Tyrus began to violently swat at the air, trying to smack Mircea as much as he could in order to be released. He even threw in a few kicks, though his current position had him failing miserably.

He bent over as much as he could, catching his breath from his little outburst before ultimately sagging his shoulders in defeat. "Alright, alright, you win, so lay off." Feeling his neck getting sore, Tyrus tapped Mircea's shoulder, as if saying "Mercy."

Was he dramatic? Perhaps. He was also frustrated. Raising his eyes, he felt himself grow annoyed upon the sight of the other surrounding individuals. What was the obsession over dragons? Everybody here wanted to be picked. They wanted a bond with a dragon, but not Tyrus. He was here specifically for his friends.

So, while everybody was hoping to be chosen, Tyrus was praying for the opposite.

Asmodeus
Male Dragon | Fire Class | Mentions: Humans

An odd form rested against the side of a mountain, sickle edged claws sunk into the stone to hold the serpentine male in place. Asmodeus imagined he wasn't the first dragon to arrive, though he kept his distance as he observed the tiny two-leggeds gather like sheep in the valley. It would be so easy just to kill and eat them, and yet all the dragons, even him much to his disdain, were here for more... benevolent reasons.

Part of it irritated Asmodeus, that twinge in his chest that told him there was a piece of him out there he needed to find. It irritated him even more to know that piece was a human. He had made several meals out of humans before, and now he was supposed to find one that was supposed to ride upon his back? Smoke billowed from the male's jaws as he parted them in a growl.

His rider, who ever it was, would need to understand that it was a partnership and that he was not a slave to them. If he did not want to be ridden, he would not be ridden. But, if they respected that, well, then he might not eat them. At least right away. He couldn't speak for the other humans though. If anyone of them got to close, they might end up making a fine snack.

Deciding he had waited long enough to make his grand entrance, and grand it would be, Asmodeus propelled himself off the mountain, pulling his wings in to dive along it's side before unfurling them to lift easily into the sky. He arced around the valley in a wide circle, allowing his red form to disappear into the clouds as he went.

Being who he was, the dragon wanted to test the nerve of the students below, and it was fun to see the little two leggeds squirm. So, as he soared through the sky, he tilted his wings, coming around behind the unsuspecting humans, and pulled his wings in around him to dive. As he reached the air above the students, he pulled up to straighten out, but swung his body around to slowly spin above them so that his back was facing the ground while above them. His jaws parted as he came down, a threatening roar pouring out of him as easily as his fire did.

When he reached the clearing ahead of them, he finished his spin and landed with a thud and whipped around, taking several jumping lunges towards the humans and hissing lowly, his lips curled in a snarl. Near black eyes scanned the humans, an almost amused look on his face as he watched them. This was fun.
