Name: Kaiser Kaladan Name Meaning: “Emperor” Age: 26 Gender: Male Role: Dragon Hunter Appearance: Kaiser has a very imposing figure, standing at 6’4 feet tall, weighing just over 230 pounds. His skin is a light brown, getting darker in the summer when he is outside more often and paler during the winter. His hair is long and straight, nearly brushing his waistline. His hair is a very dark brown, looking black in darker lightings. He is well muscled from his countless years of training. He has high set cheekbones which accentuate his black eyes. His eyes are a narrow almond shape, his black irises seeming to devour sunlight itself. His nose is straight, one of his less recognizable features. His dark brows are neat and manicured, and his lips pull back to reveal straight white teeth. His face hardly ever does anything more than scowl or frown, and there are very few humans on this planet that have seen his smile. The few that have are long dead. You know death is coming for you if you see that smile. His sense of style consists of dark colored clothing for stealth, most of it tight but still flexible and breathable for comfort in combat. His usual attire has many hiding places for weapons, the fabric thick to avoid any accidental injuries from hidden weapons. When he attends classier events, he usually opts for a single colored tunic and pants. He usually wears his hair in a braid or ponytail, although he will occasionally wear it down to different events. His favorite hairstyle of the sort is a half-up hairstyle with a few small braids throughout, weaved with gold thread. His body is a painting of scars and burns, results of his job. His arms of completely covered in swirling tattoos, which also run over his shoulders, down both of his shoulder blades, and over both of his pectorals. (definitely could do more but you get the idea) Personality: Kaiser is a very hard person to understand. Most people don’t understand him, since no one ever gets close enough to try, and others just don’t bother. But he likes it that way, no attachments, nothing holding him down in a certain place. Kaiser has always been quiet. Even when he was a baby, he rarely ever cried or made any noise at all. There were times when he was young that he would go days without speaking. No one really knew why, and no one bothered to figure it out. He’s been a loner since day one, and he prefers to keep it that way. Although he works in a group, he does what he needs to, and that’s it. No beating around the bush, small talk, or any of it. Kaiser is a very blunt person. He doesn’t believe in sparing anyone’s feelings. Lying will only boost their ego, it’s best to tell it how it is. He has no regard for others’ feelings and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He is very emotionally guarded and doesn't let anyone past his self-built walls. It takes a lot to rile him, or even set off his temper. Even some of the nastiest insults won't set him off. It's possible to anger him, you just have to know where to look. (Also could add more, might later, not going to now) Strengths & Weaknesses: Strengths: Strength Size Quick thinking Wits Weaknesses: Agility Showing emotion Blunt Cold Apathetic Backstory: Kaiser was born to a middle class family. When he was only 15 his parents sent him off to become a blacksmith. He apprenticed under his mentor, and over the next two years the two became close. One summer day, dragons attacked their village, killing his mentor. He barely escaped alive, and he was discovered by a group of people. He soon learned that they were dragon hunters, tracking the dragon who attacked his village. He joined them as soon as he healed, training and learning, before he worked his way up the ranks. He is now second-in-command, his hatred for the fire-breathing beasts growing every time he thinks about his past. Affiliations: Tbd Other: All done :) |

Name: Johanna Tyler Name Meaning: Johanna: God is gracious Age: 24 Gender: female Role: Dragon rider Appearance: Johanna is rather tall, just brushing 6'1. She has long, red hair, her natural curls weighed down into waves by how thick and heavy it is. Her skin is pale, often sunburnt from long days of work outside. Freckles dot her round face and congregate on her button nose. Her arms look almost solid brown in places where her freckles are so thick. She prefers to wear loose-fitting clothes, often opting for a baggy shirt and jeans under a warm cloak to protect from high winds. She dons a pair of black gloves whenever riding and always keeps them on her person, as well as a small scarf that doubles as a warm mask. Her favorite sword hangs on her left hip, marked by a brilliant amethyst embedded in the pommel. She keeps any number of knifes on her at all times, a fact that she makes very public. Hopefully, she won't have to use them if people know they're there. Not that she has a problem with that. Personality: Johanna is fierce and energetic, with a constant need to be moving. She is daring and is usually looking for ways to hurt herself. She loves the thrill of danger and is a bit of a show-off. Jo is very confident in herself and her abilities. Most people her own age find her fun and exciting, while most older people find her reckless and sassy. She is independent and usually defiant of authority. Johanna enjoys being outside, with flying being her favorite activity. She loves her dragon more than her own brothers and would kill anyone who tried to hurt him. Most did not believe that last sentiment until someone did try it and ended up dead. Jo is a formidable fighter, not only because of her skills, but also for the fact that when fighting, she will not shut up. She annoys and distracts her opponents by talking loudly about whatever she can think of, often times whatever mistakes her adversary is making. This infuriates most people into making more mistakes and allowing her to win. Backstory: Johanna was born fifth out six siblings (all brothers). Her parents were harriers who also raised and sold horses. She learned from a young age how to ride and as she grew older, smithy skills. She used these later on when she found her dragon and made her sword.

He has huge wings each as long as an old cottonwood is tall. His scales and soft, yet extremely tough and durable, almost like leather. He has big, gentle eyes and a kind smile hiding behind big bottom teeth and a curbing snout horn. But, this is all just when he's big. Ryko possesses the ability to shrink to the size of a cat. Personality: Ryko is rather gentle, despite his size. He is caring, but protective and very helpful. Strengths: Size Ability to grow and shrink Fast healing Protective instinct Weaknesses: Color (highly visible) Gentleness |

The setting sun cast long shadows in the forest as Kaiser watched the foliage, still as death. The leaves of the bush he crouched in tickled his face, snagging in his braided hair. The forest was silent save for the birds and rustling leaves. His crew stayed hidden as they waited for the unmistakable sound of an approaching dragon. They had no particular target today, but this clearing was a popular hunting spot for the diurnal dragons. Kaiser’s blood roared with the need to complete his own hunt. He had been particularly on edge all day, and needed some outlet to get it out of his system. Sending his hunters to chop wood wasn’t necessarily helping. He crouched at the ready, his hands within easy reach of his daggers and other assortment of weapons he kept expertly hidden on him. The other hunters were ready with the important weapons when the watchers signaled. Kaiser turned to one of his hunters, his voice hushed and low “The beasts should be here by now. Tell Nathara and Kinsley to scout ahead.” The hunter disappeared into the bushes with a brief nod of his head, the deadly silence resuming again. There wasn’t room for error. Not today. One, because his boss would flay him alive if they botched a hunt, and two because he would flay someone alive if they botched a hunt. After another few heartbeats of silence, the birds stopped chirping. Only moments later the booming wingbeats of what could be nothing other than a dragon sounded, stirring the forest floor. Kaiser heard a few muffled orders, and the assigned hunters pulled out the most essential weapon. The giant metal spear rested in it’s stand, the stand itself resembling something of a crossbow. Levers were pulled, and someone positioned the spear, ready at any moment to move it. Next were the nets. The two nets were brought out in refurnished catapults, ready at any moment to be launched at the beast’s wings to incapacitate it whilst the spear finished it off. If the spear failed and the drop didn’t kill it, that’s what the rest of them were for. There were only two rules, no dragonets, and no riders. They weren’t monsters after all. Well, most of them weren’t. As the various weapons were assembled and the other hunters readied themselves, Kaiser stepped out of the bush, still keeping to the shadows as he drew the sword from his back, his dark eyes scanning the sky as the wingbeats grew closer. |

Johanna and her dragon soared through the darkening sky. Ryko nearly blended in with the sunset colors. They should be heading back home to supper but this was so much better. The wind in her hair felt so right, even as she knew it was tangling horribly. The rush of adrenaline in every dip. She breathed deep as they soared over the forest. Looking down, she spotted a clearing, just big enough to fit Ryko's hulking form. There it is. This was the spot she was looking for. The spot where she found her best friend. Ryko dove towards it, landing gently in the tall grass, wings whooshing as he stopped. He lowered his wing, but Johanna jumped off into a front flip instead, hooting triumphantly. She landed with a thud and stared into the face of a stranger. |

Kaiser raised his hand to give the order to fire the weapons, only to spot the banner of red hair atop the beast. He shouted loud enough for all of the hunters to hear. “There’s a rider! Evacuate!” At his orders, they started to quickly pack up the weapons, the beast above soaring impossibly fast toward the earth. They had to get out now. The clank of metal on metal sounded as the weapons were packed, quickly attached to their teams of horses that pulled them into the safety of the deeper forest. The rest of them ran for their horses, tied to trees in the distance. Eryx, his second, rode up next to him, handing the reins of Kaiser’s horse to him. He mounted with quick efficiency, keeping a firm grip of the reins as the horse shuffled on it’s hooves, spooked by the dragon growing closer by the minute. He looked to Eryx, his black eyes full of authority. “Make sure the others get back to the base, no stragglers. I’ll go out to get the watchers I sent ahead. If I’m not back by morning, don’t come looking.” Eyrx nodded, turning his horse sharply and galloping into the trees after the others. Kaiser didn’t waste another minute and spurred his horse forward. He galloped through the clearing in the directions the watchers were sent, only for his horse to come to a skidding stop that nearly sent him over the beast’s neck. The horse stumbled backwards a few paces, then stopped cold, it’s powerful muscles locked as it stared at the much bigger beast before it. Kaiser’s eyes tracked the woman as she leapt from the back of her dragon, her eyes meeting his. His first thought was to rein his horse the other way and run, but his common sense quickly overpowered the urge. The woman had a dragon, and could easily track them right to the base if he left. The way he needed to go was blocked, so, with no other options, he faced the woman, still as death, and dared her to try something. |

Who the crap is that?? Was Jo's first thought when she saw him. He was sitting nervously atop a startled horse. Just sitting there, being darkly handsome. Ryko shrinked and lept to her shoulder, which seemed to startle the man more. Johanna was curious of the man, as she didn't know him. She knew practically everyone, as she was the guardian of the village. Or one of them. But the others don't count. They aren't really necessary. The two looked each other up and down and finally she called out. "Don't be shy stranger. Quit starin' and come out of the shadows." Johanna said with a grin. |
