the rp totally needs an emperor
Cynderfyre Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813
#705 Posted: 16:57:42 27/01/2015
Emperors can come in at some point I'm sure.

Also, we could do it like the old Dragon Cave RP used to be. Use all our dragons, but we kind of switch between who we're focusing on at the time. So for a bit I could use Auride, then Auride kind of goes out of the story and I bring in Ferrero, etc.

And here's a maybe-probably-not-but-maybe thing: maybe, instead of having the whole character bio thing, we just link to our lairs in the first RP post (like the first post of this topic) and only/mainly use dragons who have something written in their descriptions, even if it's only a very brief summary of their personalities (like, words will do) just so we know who we're working with.

So if a new dragon comes along and you're just like "who??" you go to so-n-so's lair and find that dragon and read their bio and be like "ah yes, this one".

It will involve me writing a lot of bios but worth it I guess?

@Darkrai, that's, that's... beautiful. Couldn't have said it better myself.

@CF, that sounds like a good idea. Will involve me writing a lot of bios, too, but that's something I needed to do, anyway. smilie

Oh yay you got a facet!

Hey S-F you should totally join the RP this time, just like the good old Dragon Cave days. Don't worry about the quality of writing and just have fun. Bring Vittora, I like her, she's pretty.

Also I've done 3 bios now and I keep meaning to make them shorter but they're getting longer instead oh god oh god

but I only have in-depth bios for like two dragons and the second one isn't even mine to roleplay

Since you can handle it, though, I think it'd be neat, while the rest of us who don't have bios can just stick to a few characters/cameos.

probably best not to bring in your entire lair though.


EDIT: thank you SiA for selling me this guy like a year ago

i've always loved him

@S-F No worries!

@Darkrai well as I said, even just a couple of words to give a basic idea of a personality could count, if you don't think the dragon in question has a very interesting backstory.

I'm going to start picking out which dragons to use and try to write small blurbs for them.

So far I've got this guy, and this guy... kinda wanted to use the dragon I posted before, because he's a hilarious grumpy old fart, but I don't want all of my main characters to be Skydancers.

Letting you guys have first dibs at some hatchlings. 10k each or 15 gems. Almost tempted to keep the first one. It's gorgeous X.X Really I think they both are, but I bred them to sell to you guys and don't need them.

@Seiki
That second one has a great tert.. but I'm still saving up for that lair expansion
Urgh, so much work for 5 slots.

@C-f
I dunno. I guess so. Somebody needs to summarize the plot in a more... serious way, though.
We also need to come up with rules, but I could easily just modify them from the last topic. Do we need character sheets, though?
Cynderfyre Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813
#721 Posted: 22:27:48 28/01/2015
Probably no need for the character sheets, just name and lair link and such? Maybe information about your clan in general, also point out any dragons that aren't part of the clan (rogues) if you have any or something. For specific dragons we can just go to your profile and take a look at their bios.

I'd have a stab at the plot summary myself but I can't guarantee it'll be any good.

Just a tiny little sheet would be nice, I think, just so that we don't have to click on a bunch of links whenever we want to review the characters. Something like this?

Name/Nickname:
Link to Dragon:
Gender:
Personality (brief description):
Familiar (optional, include gender):
Other:

'Other' could be used for interesting stuff, like if the dragon's a rogue or maybe a clan blacksmith.

I think you should have a go at the plot summary anyways, it couldn't be too bad.
Cynderfyre Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813
#723 Posted: 22:46:52 28/01/2015
Okay, I will give it a go. Also that seems fine, perhaps specify that the link should be a link not an image? Images are handy but if we don't have a character limit this time we don't want the page clogged and confusing.

EDIT: Can we keep the plot point from last time where "everyone's in the same place and some randomer gets possessed by the shade"? I know there's an inter-flight war on so it seems unlikely that everyone would be in one place but maybe they're all at some kind of peace conference between various clans of different flights and your clan is invited (it doesn't work out because only our own dragons survive and the rest are either still angry at each other because the peace meeting didn't go ahead, or dead because of random Shade dragon)

"Link to Dragon's Page", then?

Oh, oh, maybe we could use those little dragon avatars above the descriptions. Like this (I really hope the image works):

Link to Dragon: Link
Gender: male
Personality (brief description): snarky lil ****
Familiar: n/a

Yeah that'd be a good idea, it'd be a really long rp if everyone started in their own clan territories. Although I don't think the Shade situation has blown up to the point where they're affecting dragons... maybe somebody's familiar gets possessed instead?
Cynderfyre Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813

Good thinking.

Should we go with the head icons, or the thumbnails from on your clan page e.g.:

Whatever people want is fine, since they're pretty much the same size.

i think the portraits are more fashionable though
Cynderfyre Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813
#727 Posted: 23:09:36 28/01/2015
Yeah I think portraits sit nicely on top of the form, we'll go with that.

Quote: The intro
At the dusk of the last age, the inquisitive Arcanist made his way up, up the great pillar towards the skies. There he gazed out into the endless stars, in awe at the sight of asteroids and galaxies and nebulae... But something saw him.

The Shade plunged down over Sornieth with terrifying force. It shattered the piller, and from the broken fragments came the other gods. Shocked and enraged, they turned on each other almost as soon as they had emerged. That was when they created us, dragonkind, each species carved in the image of their deity and every dragon imbued with the elemental magic of the realm in which they were born. Soon, different species began to travel to other territories, and the rage and fighting between the flights started to subside.

But the Shade still crawled through the lands like seeping poison, and inevitably they would strike out in time. Not so long ago, the central points of each realm- the Spiral Keep, the Cloudsong, the Great Furnace, the Observatory and all the rest- were targeted by a violent, powerful force. Nobody knew who the attackers were, but rumours are circulating, and everybody has become suspicious of everybody else. The tensions have sparked intense warfare between the flights; matters are made worse by the Beastclans, who blame all of the dragons for their own strifes and are fighting back just as hard.

Your clan is trapped amid this turmoil. Whether they remain peaceful or join the military efforts for their flight, there is no avoiding how dangerous the world of Sornieth has become as of late... But was it really other dragons that lead the attack, or is something much more terrible at play? Unbeknownst to any of your clan, they are about to stumble upon the truth of the matter. Your leader and a few representatives of your clan have been called to a peace conference, where several clans from different flights are trying to arrange a truce. The meeting, to be held in the Dragonhome, is about to start when a somebody's Rambra wanders in...

"I told you, stay outside!" the dragon barks, but the Rambra doesn't listen for once. Its eyes are clouded black. It begins to convulse, and dark energy pours from its writhing body. Suddenly, you realise that everyone is in greater danger than anyone could have imagined.


Any alterations?

That looks great! Somebody will need to roleplay the dragon and his Rambra, though. Or maybe that could be replaced by someone's character and their own familiar, if they're willing to let that familiar die...
Cynderfyre Emerald Sparx Gems: 3813
#729 Posted: 23:27:14 28/01/2015
He's only in it for two seconds, we'll assume he dies when the Rambra shows up, so anyone can take over him for the minutes he's there.

Cameos should be fine. I actually just put a little note at the bottom relating to that.

Quote:
You can add characters any time you want. If a dragon from your lair is only making a small and temporary appearance, or is being referenced, you don't need to make a sheet, but you may want to link to them like so -

Does anyone have problems drawing characters/objects facing a specific direction? For example, I can draw dragons facing left side just fine, but when I try to draw them facing right side, I'm just so lost and have no idea what am I doing.

Am I alone?

I don't really have that problem, although I do tend to be more comfortable drawing things facing the right side.

You don't happen to be left-handed, do you?

I seem to only be capable of drawing faces at a 3/4 view. Doesn't matter which side. Though I suck at straight on.
