Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) (Disclaimer: This is altered from a previous RP group/plot of mine called Avera-land-of-heroes on Tumblr. If you see any similarities, that is why. This is my material that I chose to alter.) History of Avera: Avera is a land that once was whole, but two heirs bickered amongst themselves over who would reign and cleaved it in two. The eldest and the lighter of the brothers, a massive Electric Dragon by the name of Torur, took the North and East, claiming the coast and sea of Haf and northern Grunn as well as the plains that surround Lyn. The younger and darker of the two, a fearsome Bright Breasted Wyvern by the name of Lopt, took the South and West, claiming the mountains of Kaldr and the forest of Han and a portion of the the southern Grunn. The two set their capitals and left each other in peace for ten years until the eldest brother sought to unite the kingdoms. The younger refused, feeling that it was a sense of identity. The eldest began seizing lands to help the poor in his country so the younger flew into a rage and tried to give retribution which nearly laid waste Torur’s capital of Lyn. He then receded into the deep woods to his own capital, Byren Traer. With the damage done the Northern King had to call upon aid to form a force to fight Lopt. Though Torur had this group the lines between sides seems blurred and warped. Each of the group chose their own path to follow. All with their own motive. Only a stretch of land that lies in the middle remained unclaimed and seemingly untarnished with war. Avera Now: The feud has been sparked even further by a disputed ownership of Reir. Now the two kingdoms are tense, even Himmelen can feel the embers of war turn flame as time progresses. Despite Lopt's lands with many titles his territory is still rather small compared to the vast Lynite territory and this pushes him further to reach back out to the lost pass and wood. Tensions have also grown due to the recent activity of Brann av Drager. Vents have been spewing their hot and sometimes toxic gasses all along the eastern ridge of Han. Even the pass between Kaldr and Drager has been affected. Portions of land has risen and even tectonic activity has plagued eastern Han and the outskirts of Byren Traer. On top of this turmoil, pirate activity has been on a rise in Haf and Lyn. To the point that the plundering has left the great northern city crippled financially in some districts. Many have turned to piracy themselves or magecraft in the attempt on creating gold or to steal it. This new line of pirates are even more daring or perhaps desperate as they have been trying to traverse Grunn. Some have made it to Han's borders by braving the brutal western sea's waters. It is only a matter of time until the powder keg blows. Locations: (Blue is lands in Lyn, Red is Han, Orange is unaligned, Purple is shared or disputed.) Lyn: Lyn is located in the northeast side of the Averian continent. It is know as the coastal capital and well known for it’s vast and colossal structures. Though the current Lyn is not the original. The original was lost to Lopt's wrath to the east of the new city. Haf: Haf is known as the “placid pond” of the bodies of water in Avera. Though peace has been disrupted through the high pirate activity and odd weather patterns of late. These patterns are usually out farther to sea while the coast keeps it’s title. Haf is the coast of Lyn. Grunn: Grunn has had a history of rough seas but also a deep history or lost treasures. Many pirates and adventurers alike have fallen victim to the fierce weather and environment. It is said that an old artifact of the original ruler of Avera is located on a hidden isle. Located on the northwest to southwest part of the continent. Byren Traer: Byren Traer is the capital city of the southern part of Avera. Rival city to Lyn in both kingdom and economy. Known as the city of trees and the city at one with nature. Its vast halls and looming cathedral architecture is a testament to the great artisans that loom within it’s borders. Han: Known as the forest that surrounds all of Byren Traer. It used to reach up to Reir, but a qualm between the two kings left the pass burned to cinders. Now Han lies beneath the mountain ranges of Kaldr and Brann Av Drager. It is also the name of the entire kingdom that Lopt controls. Including Byren Traer and Slange Skog. Slange Skog: Known as the forest of serpentine trees that lies in the western portion of Han. Many get lost and caught on the tangling growth and the winding trees. It is located just south of the west side of Kaldr. Kaldr: The frozen mountain range of the realm of Han. It encircles the northwest portion of Han. It only breaks for 10 miles for the destroyed Reir pass. It is well known for it’s harsh winters and used as a strategic buffer against invasions. Byren Grotter: Located on the far eastern point of Kaldr on the cusp of the Reir pass. Because of it’s close quarters with the volcanic range across from the 10 miles of the pass there are warmer vents under Byren Grotter. It allows for a warmer climate than the usual in Kaldr. Byren Grotter is well known for it’s structures built into the mountain and caves. Slettene Mellom: The Middlelands. These plains were set in treaty between Lyn and Han so no one may stake claim creating a untouched portion of nature. It is a dividing line between the two kingdoms. Only two places touched by man lie in Slettene Mellom. Those are Reir and Himmelen. Reir (The Nest): A forested area that lies partially inside Slettene Mellom that has a striking resemblance to Han. Not without reason. Over 45 years ago it was attached to Han but the path connecting the two was burned, severing it from Byren Traer and locking it away from Lopt’s reach. It has a vast wildlife and it’s trees were giants where they could be hallowed to be lived in. Known for it’s hunters. Himmelen: Known as the floating city. There are strict laws that keep the peace in the city. No one knows when or how this city was made but it has been kept in good condition by the mages that live there. Himmelen is well known for it’s vast library that has expanded through the ages. Brann Av Drager: The second mountain range in Han. It is the volcanic range and has been rather active on the eastern portion. There has been a bulging in the land in the east and a slight temperature increase. Drager has been known for it’s dragon population and it’s volcanic activity. Though the dangers of this mountain it has brought fertility to Han. Skygge Ren: A swamp like area on the eastern side. It can only be entered through Slettene Mellom but it is seldom traversed. The land around there has been rising as well. Little is known about Skygge Ren. Rules: Follow the Dragon Cave Forums TOS. No goddmodding. And always ask beforehand if you intend on injuring a character. PMs work wonders. You may have up to three characters. Be sure to use the form below to fill out an App Sheet. I do have limits on certain breeds of dragon. Neglected and Zombie will be home to Skygge Ren and Skygge Ren only unless I state otherwise. This is the same for most Halloween Dragons.

Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Accepted Character Apps: Forum name: InariRoku Date: 12/31/12 Character: Lopt Uppsalason Species: Bright Breasted Wyvern Location: Byren Traer, often travels through the rest of Han. Alliance: Han Character bio: The younger brother to Torur, in a dispute, took the southern and eastern lands after the death of his father, Uppala, and took reign there. Though not a cruel king, he is odd in the way he works and ends up spurring Torur’s realm inadvertently and occasionally his own. He has attacked Torur’s capital only once and wants to retain his dominion unlike his eldest. He is lone in his rule of Byren Traer though does seek companionship of one worthy. He owns the wealthier of the two kingdoms. Appearance: Has the typical body of a Bright Breasted Wyvern. Though his eyes are a piercing teal. Lopt often wears a golden armor that crowns his head with false horns and goes down the ridge of his back and around his neck. The armor has swirled engravings and the neck piece has a string of emeralds embedded in it. On top of the golden armor he also has a rich emerald sash that drapes between his shoulders in a U shape. Another lies a few inches beneath it in a larger U shape. Abilities: He masters in magic and that of the stave, though the stave may only be wielded from by his tail. Though his best aspect of his magecraft is the control of the flora to the point that it has the capability of engulfing an entire village. Not without a cost, however. The use of such a spell on a grand scale is taxing on both his body and mentality. Lopt also has a blazing breath though it is considerably subdued compared to some species. Personality: Lopt is not one to suffer fools lightly though will bear with most situations if it meant a gain on his end. He is not greedy, but just wants to secure his domain. The Southern King is also a bit of the talkative sort if you were to approach him. Often he goes on on the old magics that once ruled or the once clam times of his father's rule. Lopt is always seeking knowledge to further his abilities and mind. If it is an opportunity to learn he will take it. Often times this drives his curiosity. He almost seems like a hatchling on some moments, but he is no means naive. To underestimate him would be a great folly.

(So pretty *w*) --- Forum name: InariRoku Date: 2/5/13 Character: Belyy Shleyf Perʹya Species: White Dragon Location: Himmelen during winter, Han (forest) during the warmer seasons. Alliance: Han Character bio: When young her family was ran from their home in Reir in the pass in between. He father, who was one of Lopt's generals, was lost to the war and her mother, a renowned apothecary, to the fire. Since then Belyy had hidden away in Han's wood, closer to the heart of the country. Once when she was of age and adept she began to learn magic but found it was not her skill, at least not entirely. Byren Traer's archives and Lopt's type of mage craft did not suit her and she sought another style. Healing. Something she found herself rather adept at. It was then that she found the cooler months an opportunity to embark to Himmelen to study their libraries and blossom into an acceptable healer. Now she embarks there to watch over the tides of war and further her studying every now and again. Though Belyy still holds alliance with Lopt not just because of her father nor her trials, but the king of Han took her under his wing. Her loyalty to him runs strong. She refuses to draw blade for the king's battles, instead take care of the weak or injured, but she will defend herself if need be. Appearance: She has the typical form of a white dragon though her plumes are a brilliant and immaculate white. Almost pearlescent when the sun hits them right. Belyy is rather modest when it comes to the garb that she chooses, though she tends to be drawn to aquamarines and sapphires that she has string from silver threads down the back of her wings in a loop. The gems are prominent enough to give her feathers a glimmer. This is the only accessory she bears other than the crest that she wears every now again that was made out of ornate swirls of silver bent to give a wispy look. Even that is small. Abilities: Lady Belyy is rather skilled in the art of healing and dabbles in herbal medicines as well. And despite her non aggressive nature she also has craft in the use of the sword, but this is used only when her life is at stake. Personality: She is rather kind and known for her soft nature. Almost a childlike innocence about her that never left. Belyy prefers to avoid fights and settle battles from behind the lines by tending to others. Very much a pacifist, but will fight if need be. Very knowledgeable and well read and seems almost motherly in some aspects. Despite this passive nature, she will not hesitate to scold you if you step out of bounds.

Her younger sister, Yurri, and her younger brother, Grey, was murdered after Akasha failed to give all of the family's valuables to some rebels. The rebels gave her 10 minutes to complete the task or her siblings were killed, but she didn't know where the family's valuables were kept, so she grabbed the nearest thing she could find, and ran back.

Proof You Read The Rules: Sweetheart & Golden Wyverns *w* --- Forum name: Limn Date: 2/2/2013 Character: Zaaif Shanaal Species: Nocturne Location: Byren Grotter Alliance: Unaligned. Character bio: Zaaif's clan is a fairly large community, inhabiting the majority of the lower caves, if not it's entirety. Zaaif's work is mainly contains hunting and guard work. Everyone has a strict training pattern, so seeing family fighting or destroying or magic spells going off nearby, it's all normal. Their clan probably looks barbaric from the outside by the few night dragons that dare come near. The Nocturne dragons do not care how demanding any ruler is, they're set on their owns rules and life. Their constant fighting is so if they're ever attacked they can try to hold their own even against the greatest enemy. But they're not made for battle like some dragons, so their generally passive. They do what they can in preparation for whatever comes, because unlike others, the sun has turned against them. Appearance: Grey form fitting armor, specifically the color of her scales when she turns to stone/idle, for camouflage purposes; a blade attached the the tip of the tail's armor for battle purposes. Without this armor one can see a plethora of scars lacerating her back, stomach, hind legs, fore legs, wings and tail. Her right ring claw has been cut off. No need for accessories or gems as they don't care about appearance, they care about skill. Zaaif's horns are thick and sharpened to a point. Abilities: Stalking, camouflage, fast flyer, shadow manipulation/magic, stone manipulation/magic, and composition manipulation/magic. Skilled fighter with a high pain tolerance. Personality: Defensive, reserved, untrusting, kind, diligent, patient, ration thinker, but even with all of this, she cannot help but feel alienation when around other kinds of dragons.

She believes in peace and is very relaxed despite her shy behavior. Proof You Read The Rules: I LOVE EVERY DRAGON ! -- Forum name: DistantGazes. Date: February 16th, 2013. Character: Kettei Sukoshi. Species: Seawyrm Pygmy. Location: Lyn, but often travels around Avera. Alliance: Lyn. Character bio: Kettei Sukoshi, an orphan, and the name translating into 'Determined Little', is quite the Seawyrm Pygmy. He, being so small, was pushed around and laughed at as a hatchling for his size, because everyone thought that he wasn't good enough, as a pygmy. They thought he was only good for getting in the way. He wanted to change the way the dragons thought about the bigger the better, and that you don't have to be this colossal monster to be special and important, to be loved as who he was. And so Kettei began to work extra hard. He did everything in his power to do as much as possible around the place. He helped dragons with their daily needs, completed errands, and tried to be noticed for once as something greater. He met a great white dragon who taught him how to fight, hunt, and use magic. He practiced with the dragon, day after day, who had quite a liking for all pygmies, and so he kept and raised all that he could. There, Kettei felt loved and excepted, and it made him push even harder for what he believed in. But it all came down to one day, on the coastal line, when he found a Bluesang Lyndwyrm, in Kettei's same position. And he dealt with it. Like never before, he absolutely blew up at the dragons, and they actually were quite scared, never before seeing a pygmy try to rip their sole eyeballs straight out of their pathetic faces before. Kettei brought the Lyndwyrm back to the great white dragon, and found out his name was Tsunami Oshitsubusu, meaning 'Tsunami Crush'. The great white dragon agreed to let them both stay, and continued to teach them both the ways of duel and magic, letting them both grow on experience, and friendship. Now, the two never leave each other's sides, and accept each other's differences for who they are. They go around, facing what they face, and they never back down. They visit the white dragon regularly, and are prepared to face what they have to, to keep who and what they love safe, even if it means fighting for it. And now that everything is in ash and war, they stay Completely loyal to the elder brother of the two, and have sworn on their lives to protect their dragons and land until they die. Which will not be easy, since neither of the two ever go down without a hard, long fight. Appearance: Kettei is a tiny, but shining little pygmy. He has unusually bright appearance, with silver and blue all over. His eyes can be two colors, pure white, or pure black, depending on his mood or what he is doing. Kettei's wings and tail are exceptionally longer than most Seawyrms, allowing him to fly with more ease and to use his tail for more activities than usual. He wears a chained star charm around his neck, which he keeps some of his power in, and to signify that he and Tsu' are as one. Kettei also has bandages around his wrists, tail, and etc., for better protection while fighting, and he always carries extra. He carries a bow and arrow around with him, it being his favorite weapon to use in various activities. But because of his size, he is worse at fighting, magic, and elements than Tsunami is, and inflicts a smaller force onto foes. Nonetheless, his senses and sneaking abilities are amped up and maxed out, so in works hand in hand. Abilities: Despite his minuscule appearance, Kettei is amazing with different kinds of magic and battle, but only uses it when he really has to, as to not waste his abilities on nothing at all. His favorite weapon is a bow and arrow that the white dragon made himself, but it's for his size. Sometimes in battle, he will only use the arrow. He is also very good at sneaking up on others, due to his size and agility. But, despite being a coastal pygmy, the white dragon had him and Tsunami learn thunder and water as an ability, except he is not that good at them both yet, and he hardly ever uses it. Kettei also loves to collect feathers, and he keeps many of them in a pouch in Tsunami's one strap bag. He had one too, but he carries the tiny items. Personality: Kettei is brave, bold, strong, determined, daring and wise at heart as his name states, so he likes to take risks, even life threatening ones. He will, under no circumstances, will EVER, EVER, EVER, leave one another behind. He likes and wants to make friends with everybody, but is aware that he can't. Once Kettei has an errand or a job to complete, he will not stop until it is completed the right way. That doesn't mean Kettei is not the prankster that he is. He is a very happy dragon most of the time, and gets himself into trouble a lot, but he sometimes has his mood swings, and on account, flirts a bunch, but usually fails. See? Every dragon can be an idiot. Proof You Read The Rules: I love every dragon equally ;-;.. well, most of them at least.. it's just too hard to pick. x'3 -- Forum name: DistantGazes. Date: February 16th, 2013. Character: Tsunami Oshitsubusu. Species: Bluesang Lyndwyrm. Location: Lyn, but often travels around Avera. Alliance: Lyn. Character bio: Until he met Kettei and the great white dragon, Tsunami was quite afraid to stand up for himself. He was another orphan, just like Kettei, with his name meaning, 'Tsunami Crush'. When Kettei brought him to the white dragon's little hut like den on the coast, he didn't know what to think. He was just glad it turned out to be okay, and now he and Kettei are best friends, and work well together because of their similarities and differences. And now that everything is in ash and war, they stay Completely loyal to the elder brother of the two, and have sworn on their lives to protect their dragons and land until they die. Which will not be easy, since neither of the two ever go down without a hard, long fight. Appearance: Tsu' is a bit more bigger than average Bluesangs, and is well built. Like Kettei, his wings and tail are longer than average. He wears a chained star charm around his neck, which he keeps some of his power in, and to signify that he and Kettei are as one. Tsunami also has bandages around his wrists, tail, and etc., for better protection while fighting, and he always carries extra. He carries a wide variety or weapons his size and Kettei's size, and he likes to make them, too. He has a one strap bag he carries everything in, and Kettei carries one too, but a smaller one. Abilities: Since the great white dragon taught them both, Tsunami and Kettei are both good with magic, fighting, and a couple elements. Tsunami is a tad better though, because since he is larger, he can inflict a more powerful force onto foes, but is worse at sneaking up and eavesdropping on enemies because of his size, and his senses aren't as amped up and maxed out as Kettei's are. Personality: Like most things, him and Kettei are quite similar in personality. They are both pranksters that have mood swings, but Tsunami is the more sensible one, not being as stupid a flirt as Kettei. And he doesn't make as stupid decisions with pranks and trouble making, either. Proof You Read The Rules: I LOVE EVERY DRAGON.

Alliance: Rogue Character bio: Bahqoyol's family is neither dead nor abandoned, but rather scattered among the regions of Avera and bringing back supplies to the unknown home in Haf. It may be a sweet reunion, but it only takes place under a quarter moon under their traditions. Qo's title 'Ship-sinker' was gained after the village folk regarded his mischievous hobby: sinking ships, be it battleships or suppliers. Qo hides among the darker clouds to conceal his winged serpentine tricks and strikes a mass of lightning towards the seas with a thunderous roar, people often mistake his teases and taunts with actual storms. Appearance: A blackish-grey dragon, Qo is an average-winged, sturdy figure. He prefers never to dispel the string or rope of lightning that hangs around his neck and tail, either for protective purposes or to show off his magical ability as an Electric Dragon. Abilities: So far, Qo is known for smashing the ground with his tail to emit a colossal wave of sparks. Most of his attacks are based on teeth,claws and tail with a twisted effect, enchanting the physical form with lightning, the power of his electricity based on how intent he is on winning the battle. If irritated, Qo will spit or bite with electrical surge, if enraged, he is capable of put the target on fire. Personality: Bahqoyol's personality varies on his company. Though, usually he is seen to be irritable, but never goes past that unless his rarely-seen family is put to the test. In telepathy, he will speak in the dragon's tongue when he talks to humans, just to piss them off and convince them that dragons are incomprehensible.

Posted December 31, 2012 Forum name: InariRoku Date: 12/31/12 Character: Lopt Uppsalason Species: Bright Breasted Wyvern Location: Byren Traer, often travels through the rest of Han. Alliance: Han Character bio: The younger brother to Torur, in a dispute, took the southern and eastern lands after the death of his father, Uppala, and took reign there. Though not a cruel king, he is odd in the way he works and ends up spurring Torur’s realm inadvertently and occasionally his own. He has attacked Torur’s capital only once and wants to retain his dominion unlike his eldest. He is lone in his rule of Byren Traer though does seek companionship of one worthy. He owns the wealthier of the two kingdoms. Appearance: Has the typical body of a Bright Breasted Wyvern. Though his eyes are a piercing teal. Lopt often wears a golden armor that crowns his head with false horns and goes down the ridge of his back and around his neck. The armor has swirled engravings and the neck piece has a string of emeralds embedded in it. On top of the golden armor he also has a rich emerald sash that drapes between his shoulders in a U shape. Another lies a few inches beneath it in a larger U shape. Abilities: He masters in magic and that of the stave, though the stave may only be wielded from by his tail. Though his best aspect of his magecraft is the control of the flora to the point that it has the capability of engulfing an entire village. Not without a cost, however. The use of such a spell on a grand scale is taxing on both his body and mentality. Lopt also has a blazing breath though it is considerably subdued compared to some species. Personality: Lopt is not one to suffer fools lightly though will bear with most situations if it meant a gain on his end. He is not greedy, but just wants to secure his domain. The Southern King is also a bit of the talkative sort if you were to approach him. Often he goes on on the old magics that once ruled or the once clam times of his father's rule. Lopt is always seeking knowledge to further his abilities and mind. If it is an opportunity to learn he will take it. Often times this drives his curiosity. He almost seems like a hatchling on some moments, but he is no means naive. To underestimate him would be a great folly.

Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Forum name: Limn Date: 2/2/2013 Character: Zaaif Shanaal Species: Nocturne Location: Byren Grotter Alliance: Unaligned. Character bio: Zaaif's clan is a fairly large community, inhabiting the majority of the lower caves, if not it's entirety. Zaaif's work is mainly contains hunting and gaurd work. Everyone has a strict training pattern, so seeing family fighting or destroying or magic spells going off nearby, it's all normal. Their clan probably looks barbaric from the outside by the few night dragons that dare come near. The Nocturne dragons do not care how demanding any ruler is, they're set on their owns rules and life. Their constant fighting is so if they're ever attacked they can try to hold their own even against the greatest enemy. But they're not made for battle like some dragons, so their generally passive. They do what they can in preparation for whatever comes, because unlike others, the sun has turned against them. Appearance: Grey form fitting armor, specifically the color of her scales when she turns to stone/idle, for camouflage purposes; a blade attached the the tip of the tail's armor for battle purposes. Without this armor one can see a plethora of scars lacerating her back, stomache, hind legs, fore legs, wings and tail. Her right ring claw has been cut off. No need for accesories or gems as they don't care about appearance, they care about skill. Zaaif's horns are thick and sharpened to a point. Abilities: Stalking, camouflage, fast flyer, shadow manipulation/magic, stone manipulation/magic, and composition manipulation/magic. Skilled fighter with a high pain tolerance. Personality: Defensive, reserved, untrusting, kind, diligent, patient, ration thinker, but even with all of this, she cannot help but feel alienation when around other kinds of dragons. Proof You Read The Rules: Well, personally it's a black dragon I have called crow heart. She was the fourth dragon egg I obtained on the site here.

Posted February 5, 2013 Forum name: InariRoku Date: 2/5/13 Character: Belyy Shleyf Perʹya Species: White Dragon Location: Himmelen during winter, Han (forest) during the warmer seasons. Alliance: Han Character bio: When young her family was ran from their home in Reir in the pass in between. He father, who was one of Lopt's generals, was lost to the war and her mother, a renowned apothecary, to the fire. Since then Belyy had hidden away in Han's wood, closer to the heart of the country. Once when she was of age and adept she began to learn magic but found it was not her skill, at least not entirely. Byren Traer's archives and Lopt's type of mage craft did not suit her and she sought another style. Healing. Something she found herself rather adept at. It was then that she found the cooler months an opportunity to embark to Himmelen to study their libraries and blossom into an acceptable healer. Now she embarks there to watch over the tides of war and further her studying every now and again. Though Belyy still holds alliance with Lopt not just because of her father nor her trials, but the king of Han took her under his wing. Her loyalty to him runs strong. She refuses to draw blade for the king's battles, instead take care of the weak or injured, but she will defend herself if need be. Appearance: She has the typical form of a white dragon though her plumes are a brilliant and immaculate white. Almost pearlescent when the sun hits them right. Belyy is rather modest when it comes to the garb that she chooses, though she tends to be drawn to aquamarines and sapphires that she has string from silver threads down the back of her wings in a loop. The gems are prominent enough to give her feathers a glimmer. This is the only accessory she bears other than the crest that she wears every now again that was made out of ornate swirls of silver bent to give a wispy look. Even that is small. Abilities: Lady Belyy is rather skilled in the art of healing and dabbles in herbal medicines as well. And despite her non aggressive nature she also has craft in the use of the sword, but this is used only when her life is at stake. Personality: She is rather kind and known for her soft nature. Almost a childlike innocence about her that never left. Belyy prefers to avoid fights and settle battles from behind the lines by tending to others. Very much a pacifist, but will fight if need be. Very knowledgeable and well read and seems almost motherly in some aspects. Despite this passive nature, she will not hesitate to scold you if you step out of bounds.

Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Forum name: DistantGazes. Date: February 16th, 2013. Character: Kettei Sukoshi. Species: Seawyrm Pygmy. Location: Lyn, but often travels around Avera. Alliance: Lyn. Character bio: Kettei Sukoshi, an orphan, and the name translating into 'Determined Little', is quite the Seawyrm Pygmy. He, being so small, was pushed around and laughed at as a hatchling for his size, because everyone thought that he wasn't good enough, as a pygmy. They thought he was only good for getting in the way. He wanted to change the way the dragons thought about the bigger the better, and that you don't have to be this colossal monster to be special and important, to be loved as who he was. And so Kettei began to work extra hard. He did everything in his power to do as much as possible around the place. He helped dragons with their daily needs, completed errands, and tried to be noticed for once as something greater. He met a great white dragon who taught him how to fight, hunt, and use magic. He practiced with the dragon, day after day, who had quite a liking for all pygmies, and so he kept and raised all that he could. There, Kettei felt loved and excepted, and it made him push even harder for what he believed in. But it all came down to one day, on the coastal line, when he found a Bluesang Lyndwyrm, in Kettei's same position. And he dealt with it. Like never before, he absolutely blew up at the dragons, and they actually were quite scared, never before seeing a pygmy try to rip their sole eyeballs straight out of their pathetic faces before. Kettei brought the Lyndwyrm back to the great white dragon, and found out his name was Tsunami Oshitsubusu, meaning 'Tsunami Crush'. The great white dragon agreed to let them both stay, and continued to teach them both the ways of duel and magic, letting them both grow on experience, and friendship. Now, the two never leave each other's sides, and accept each other's differences for who they are. They go around, facing what they face, and they never back down. They visit the white dragon regularly, and are prepared to face what they have to, to keep who and what they love safe, even if it means fighting for it. And now that everything is in ash and war, they stay Completely loyal to the elder brother of the two, and have sworn on their lives to protect their dragons and land until they die. Which will not be easy, since neither of the two ever go down without a hard, long fight. Appearance: Kettei is a tiny, but shining little pygmy. He has unusually bright appearance, with silver and blue all over. His eyes can be two colors, pure white, or pure black, depending on his mood or what he is doing. Kettei's wings and tail are exceptionally longer than most Seawyrms, allowing him to fly with more ease and to use his tail for more activities than usual. He wears a chained star charm around his neck, which he keeps some of his power in, and to signify that he and Tsu' are as one. Kettei also has bandages around his wrists, tail, and etc., for better protection while fighting, and he always carries extra. He carries a bow and arrow around with him, it being his favorite weapon to use in various activities. But because of his size, he is worse at fighting, magic, and elements than Tsunami is, and inflicts a smaller force onto foes. Nonetheless, his senses and sneaking abilities are amped up and maxed out, so in works hand in hand. Abilities: Despite his minuscule appearance, Kettei is amazing with different kinds of magic and battle, but only uses it when he really has to, as to not waste his abilities on nothing at all. His favorite weapon is a bow and arrow that the white dragon made himself, but it's for his size. Sometimes in battle, he will only use the arrow. He is also very good at sneaking up on others, due to his size and agility. But, despite being a coastal pygmy, the white dragon had him and Tsunami learn thunder and water as an ability, except he is not that good at them both yet, and he hardly ever uses it. Kettei also loves to collect feathers, and he keeps many of them in a pouch in Tsunami's one strap bag. He had one too, but he carries the tiny items. Personality: Kettei is brave, bold, strong, determined, daring and wise at heart as his name states, so he likes to take risks, even life threatening ones. He will, under no circumstances, will EVER, EVER, EVER, leave one another behind. He likes and wants to make friends with everybody, but is aware that he can't. Once Kettei has an errand or a job to complete, he will not stop until it is completed the right way. That doesn't mean Kettei is not the prankster that he is. He is a very happy dragon most of the time, and gets himself into trouble a lot, but he sometimes has his mood swings, and on account, flirts a bunch, but usually fails. See? Every dragon can be an idiot. Proof You Read The Rules: I love every dragon equally ;-;.. well, most of them at least.. it's just too hard to pick. x'3 ~~ Forum name: DistantGazes. Date: February 16th, 2013. Character: Tsunami Oshitsubusu. Species: Bluesang Lyndwyrm. Location: Lyn, but often travels around Avera. Alliance: Lyn. Character bio: Until he met Kettei and the great white dragon, Tsunami was quite afraid to stand up for himself. He was another orphan, just like Kettei, with his name meaning, 'Tsunami Crush'. When Kettei brought him to the white dragon's little hut like den on the coast, he didn't know what to think. He was just glad it turned out to be okay, and now he and Kettei are best friends, and work well together because of their similarities and differences. And now that everything is in ash and war, they stay Completely loyal to the elder brother of the two, and have sworn on their lives to protect their dragons and land until they die. Which will not be easy, since neither of the two ever go down without a hard, long fight. Appearance: Tsu' is a bit more bigger than average Bluesangs, and is well built. Like Kettei, his wings and tail are longer than average. He wears a chained star charm around his neck, which he keeps some of his power in, and to signify that he and Kettei are as one. Tsunami also has bandages around his wrists, tail, and etc., for better protection while fighting, and he always carries extra. He carries a wide variety or weapons his size and Kettei's size, and he likes to make them, too. He has a one strap bag he carries everything in, and Kettei carries one too, but a smaller one. Abilities: Since the great white dragon taught them both, Tsunami and Kettei are both good with magic, fighting, and a couple elements. Tsunami is a tad better though, because since he is larger, he can inflict a more powerful force onto foes, but is worse at sneaking up and eavesdropping on enemies because of his size, and his senses aren't as amped up and maxed out as Kettei's are. Personality: Like most things, him and Kettei are quite similar in personality. They are both pranksters that have mood swings, but Tsunami is the more sensible one, not being as stupid a flirt as Kettei. And he doesn't make as stupid decisions with pranks and trouble making, either. Proof You Read The Rules: I LOVE EVERY DRAGON. (See Kettei's bio for more info on Tsunami.)

Posted February 17, 2013 Teal pools scanned the wooded expanse of the forest around them. It seemed as if an ethereal quiet blanketed Han during the evening. Only chirps fro cicadas and crickets alike could be heard and even then they would quiet. To an almost piercing silence as the darkness of a moonless night engulfed both fauna and flora. Something that Lopt had taken to enjoy during his years in his realm. Though it never was as silent in Byren Traer as it was in Han. A peaceful quiet, a change in pace, a place to clear his mind of racing thoughts. The blued tip of his tail coiled around his draconic frame as a source of comfort and consolidation. There was days that the Hanian king longed for contact. Though he may rule over a kingdom, not many paid visit to his halls. Mayhaps the reasoning in his enjoyment of the silence took root in his lack of contact. The noise and hustle and bustle of his capital reminded him constantly of those who would pay him no mind while the silence gave him no distraction and no reminder. His left talon rose to scratch an itch behind his horned crown and returned to it's natural position shortly after to allow the wyvern to gaze up at the clear night sky. It seemed the stars shown very clear that night, a good omen. That alone put his heart and mind at ease. "For once, inner turmoil has left me," he uttered softly beneath the hum of cicadas. Though Lopt was one to be known for his intelligence and wit he could never wrap his mind around why he accepted such superstitions. Only a reminder of the pace that once was under the reign of the late Uppsala. Now with the tides of war churning like a torrent, his fear was for his people. Though Torur was a kind soul he could not say the same about the wrath of his generals. Many times their blade is tempered with vengeance and misguided hate which leads to unnecessary slaughter. He sighed and shook his head and his red crest glinted only slightly in the starlight. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 17, 2013 Silence. That was all Malifica could hear while she meditated in the forest of Reir, one of the most common places she goes to when in doubt or for personal training. Her posture was maintained in the clearing, as strands of moonlight dappled her radiant scales, now with her meditation in progress, she glows a very faint sky blue. The wind gently made the trees dance above the magi's head, whistling peaceful tunes. The bugs and nightingales chirped in harmony. A minuscule stream trickles between crags in the rocks, creating a little pool at the bottom. Now this is life She thought to herself, letting her soul lighten. If only it was always this peaceful.

Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) The day went better than usual. Kettei and Tsunami went for a visit to their pretty much adopted father, the white dragon. There, they trained a bit and ate, and were now just departing. "You know, Tsu'," The small pygmy began as the bluesang turned his head from the sea towards him. "What if we were dragons, that couldn't live upon land? How would the war still affect us? Would we still have to fight undersea battles instead of on land?" "Too many questions come out of your mouth, Kettei. Shh." Tsunami just sat on the beach, his eyes seemed to follow something laying beneath the water. Kettei began to form another whh word in his mouth. "Kettei, shut up." Tsunami growled as his eyes looked around more rapidly now. Kettei saw it now, too. It was a little hatchling shallow water, and it was just flying everywhere, before accidentally jumping into mid-air, and smashing his head onto the beach. Without hesitation, Tsunami flung himself into the sand right before the hatchling. He carefully picked it up, and watched as it wriggled in pain. "Where are it's parents?" "I don't know.. should we give it to the big white?" That was their nickname for the great white dragon. "Yeah, alright." But when they got back to the hut, they were shocked to see two injured, adult shallow waters being cared for by the white dragon.

Posted February 17, 2013 As Alura flew towards the forest a tear dropped from her face. She wishes that this war would end but she couldn't do anything about it, she was too shy. While she lands she heard a shriek. She runs toward the sound as fast as she can but when she got there she saw a nothing. She grows worried and searches but found nothing. After the search; she saw to a dead flower but instead of ignoring it she heals it. She watches as it turns into a beautiful daisy. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 17, 2013 "WELL! I'm glad that's over." Kettei huffed as they walked along the shore. "Yeah. The poor thing." "Big Whitey will take care of 'em." "Yeah." It was silent for a long moment. "We should go. If we want to get to Lyn ASAP." Kettei coughed, nodding to Tsu' as they both leaped up into the air. Kettei huffed and puffed as he gained air, but Tsu's large wings swatted him into the sand as he shrieked in pain. "NO! I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL OF MY PRESENCE!!" Kettei roared. "Oh, geese! Watch where you're flying instead!" Tsu' yowled, before he picked the pygmy up and flung him into the air. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kettei screamed but regained balance. "Honestly?! Let's just go!" And they were off to Lyn. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 17, 2013 Life at the bottom of Byren Grotter was lively as usual, the clinking of claws on scales, weapons on weapons, the desvastating shimmer of a magic spell here and there; all was well. Zaaif stood gaurd on the top of Byren Grotter, overlooking the other side of the mountain as well as the occasional neighbor dragon flying back to their homes nearer to their part of the land. A good few had moved out over time, the Nocturnes were terrible neighbors. Zaaif's eyes surveyed for anything suspicious, fellow gaurds were scattered about, doing the exact same thing, if anything suspicious arose, or any intruders presented itself, all one gaurd had to do was call and their assigned 'buddy' would join them. Every unknown dragon was met with hostility and a warning. The leaders of the tribe have been fussing over the developments of the war, knowing eventually, the brother that owned Bryen Grotter would be coming about the war. This tribe hardly kept secrets from the other, everyone knew to be on the lookout for any Bright breasted Wyverns, or any with a royal seal. The tribe was aware of a Golden Wyvern living in another mountain in Bryen Grotter, Princess Kuran, a jewel lover, it was safe to say no one in the tribe really liked her. The royal descent, the adorning of items for the sake of beauty, not to mention Nocturnes didn't really want to socialize with other dragons much, all added up to that. Though do not be mistaken the Nocturnes did have friends of different dragon descent here and there. Share this post Link to post
