They came from the sky and scorched the lands.
They burned them all, our homes, our families.
Those who survived the flames, they cursed and turned.
Now only a few of us remain unburnt.
Pray for strength. Pray for hope.
Pray for mercy.
The world belongs to the dragons now.

Still not sure what I want to call this rp. I'm thinking either Dragon Cursed or Burning Skies or Venomous Flames, idk. Anyways, the basic idea of this rp is that alien dragons attack world, world ends as humans know it and everything goes to pot. Now there's nothing special about these dragons, they're just your bog standard fire breathers that happen to come from outer space, but here's where things get a bit different.
These dragons don't reproduce by laying eggs or any such thing, no. The way they make more dragons is by burning living creatures alive and if anything survives, they turn. Anyone unfortunate enough to keep their minds afterwards get to witness firsthand as their body transforms, which is not a pretty sight to behold as this fellow here can attest to:
Now, the transformation isn't instantaneous and it's not just humans that're affected. Dogs, cats, birds, horses, doesn't matter what. They get touched by dragon flame and survive, their bodies will essentially mutate and do their darnedest to take the form of a dragon. A painful process to undergo, mentally as well as physically. Fortunately, they don't have the ability to breathe fire... at least, not yet.
At any point after being burned, they could become thralls to any dragon that wants them as such and if they're not strong enough to resist, then that's what they'll be. One shout is all it takes. As long as the dragon's call can establish its dominance over the mind of the afflicted, then the deal is sealed, at least, for as long as said dragon lives. Even in the event of it dying however, its thralls are still not free from the curse, so they're essentially doomed to their fate.
Now enough about them, what about the people who haven't been burned and aren't turning into dragons? Well they've been hiding, living underground or in caves, wherever the dragons can't reach them, and whenever opportunity permits, they'll go out hunting. See, the dragons, they've got sharper senses than anything else in the world. Eyesight, hearing, sense of smell, they can't be beat and with the ability to fly and breathe fire, no human is going to have a chance in an open fight.
BUT, when a dragon is asleep, which is whenever it's not hunting, it's out like a light and if they can be caught sleeping, they can be killed. The hard part is finding it at all, getting past its thralls (if it has any, preferably not for any would be dragon slayers) and killing the dragon in the first go, because once it's awake, there won't be a second chance.
TL
R here's the plot in a nutshell. Surviving, going around and killing dragons in their sleep and putting any half-dragon mutant out of their misery if they get in the way. Oh and trying not to die, that's also important.A few more key details to note, there's no magic and no other races, it's just humans but if you want, you can also be one of the... cursed ones? Afflicted? Mutants? Idk what to call them yet, but so long as they look the part then that's fine. Also, I'm sometimes a bit inconsistent with my posting. Some days I'll be all cylinders firing, other days I could just be gone, either due to work, sheer bleh or some other thing.
If by some miracle that didn't put you off and you're still interested in the rp (you'd have to be if you've read this far), then please let me know.
