  Setting
  
  Due to vast climate changes after the reawakening, Mother Nature returned to her natural state of running the planet. Much of the world is carpeted in dense, moist forests with trees towering far above even the largest dragon's head. These forests are rich with life, birds and the occasional farrie. The remnant of the once proud civilization of man now crumble in ruin scattered throughout. Densely green thickets of ivy and sprawling fields of grasses as far as the eye can see. Seasons and weather are of a volatile and unpredictable nature.
  
  
  
  
  
  Wildlife:
  
  Tau'l - A quadrupedal reptilian hunter. A Tau'l hunts in large packs often ranging from 8-12 members, rarely seen alone. With strong muscles and a very thick hide, they are built for harsh combat and deadly prey.
  
  They often keep to forests and Drer areas, rarely do they venture out to the open plains or coastal areas. Not much for climbing as they are at risk from flying threats, they spend the majority of their time on land where they are a much more formidable foe.
  
  
  
  
  Anrik´: Feline-like creature with massive claws and a thick hide. These are primarily solitary animals and spend most of the daylight hours hiding from the sun. They thrive in the nighttime and are deadly to young dragons. Commonly found in mountainous terrain and tend to dig dens in hollowed out trees.
  
  
  
  
  Kalu - They are the most common aerial creature in the land. They look very harmless and are the main scavenger of the land and skies. Having no clear defensive weapons these scavengers are highly skittish and rely heavily on strength in numbers to survive. Although not generally seen as Fen'zi, dragons have been known to hunt them in times of famine.
  
  
  
  
  Prey/Fen'zi:
  
  
  
  Blue Fen'zi - The smallest prey animal, even young dragons can kill these very easily. They are for an easy or convenient catch or if the food options are at their minimum. These are seen as easy kills and offer little glory in the eyes of dragons.
  
  
  
  
  
  Horned Fen'zi - With an impressive crest a Horned Fen'zi are a bit more difficult to catch. But still even a young dragon can hunt them regularly. Seen as an easier hunt. Both male and female of this species carry antlers and both can inflict injury if they are not hunted correctly.
  
  
  
  
  
  Armored Fen'zi - An armored Fen'zi often travels in large groups. And are difficult to take down without a lot of experience doing so. Even the most skilled dragons are cautious. They are a respectable prey.
  
  
  
  
  Brute Fen'zi - A Brute Fen'zi is a well respected prey to dragons. They can kill dragons and are known to do so. Primarily found in the open plains and along the coast.

  • -3+ minimum paragraphs per post in third person limited.
  • -Real life comes first. If you as a player feel your real life cannot allow for the roleplay, please notify me. I will not kill off your character, but we can move the scene forward and assume your character is with them unless you wish to kill your character off. After a month of inactivity, I will no longer tag you in posts. If at this point you have not come to me to explain why you are absent, your character will be written out of the story.
  • -There will be violence, basic gore, and romance. Be prepared!
  • -No killing another pack member without approval first. If you wish to challenge for a higher rank within the pack, please consult with an Alpha in PM.
  • -This is a fade-to-black RP only. KEEP IT PG-13
  • -Pack structure and rank is a relevant plot device so IT MATTTERS.

Mein kinder! Y'all have been tagged in the OOC/Character Sign-ups!

Also, Alpha profiles will be coming shortly. BookDragon3 and I have been putting the final touches on this all week. Needless to say, we'd like some rest. XD

 

[BookWyrm]

Name: Kyrell

Age: 25,000

Breed: Nagarid

Breath Element (based on breed): Nether
Appearance/Description:

Gender: Male

Mate (if applicable): None

Size: 25 feet at the shoulder, 90 feet from snout to tail tip

Skills: As a Nagarid Kyrell is naturally venomous; Primarily delivered through bite, Kyrell is known to coat his talons in the potent cocktail as well. Lithe and nimble for his size, Kyrell combines his physical and mental agility to out wit and out maneuver his opponents.

Pack Rank: Alpha

Personality: A cool intellect matched by ferocious predatory urges, Kyrell is level-headed, measured, and slow to anger while also having cruel, dark, and violent tendencies. Buried beneath the darkened scales and piercing eyes is a well of powerful emotion. Kyrell thinks and feels deeply in equal measure, though he rarely lets anyone outside of Sorin see this.

Bio/History: Once mature dragons only breed once every so many centuries. It is rare for the clutches to be larger than five, maybe six eggs. It is even rarer for one of those eggs to produce twins. Only one egg was laid to the clutch that brought Sorin and Kyrell into the world. Their sire and dame were shocked, along with the entire flight, when that egg not only produced twins, but twin Nagarids.
It is said that Sorin and Kyrell are one soul within two bodies; Opposites in personality, color, and element, nonetheless their bond runs deeper than blood. Kyrell was born melanistic; A direct opposite of Sorin's albinism, and in many ways that foreshadowed their whole development.

The brothers grew up in the shadow of the Yggdrasil. Drinking it's amber and learning the deep truths through the song. They were both still under breeding age when the song began to speak of changing tides. Lulled to the deep sleep with the rest of their kind, neither Sorin nor Kyrell new of the long dark that would envelope them, or the changed world that awaited them when they woke all those centuries later.

Other: N/A

Name: Cicufel

Age: 213 years

Breed: Poison

Breath Element: Acid

Appearance/Description: Cicufel has lime green scales with black splotches on her back, sides, neck, tail, and upper legs and spots trailing down her legs and tail that get smaller towards the ends. Her feathers are primarily neon red and neon orange with highlighting stripes of black. She has a bright yellowish-green underbelly. Her crest is neon yellow and has thick wobbly black stripes.

Gender: Female

Mate: N/A

Size: 10ft at the shoulder, 40ft long (20ft is tail), 85ft wingspan & 65ft wingspan

Skills:
Skilled Tracker- She uses her sharp sense of smell and her perceptive eyes to track down both Fen’zi and dragons
Displays- She is skilled in the use of physical displays to intimidate, attract, or communicate.
Agile Flyer- In the air she can turn and twist in impossible-seeming directions while keeping speed and can also reach decent velocities.
Venomous- Her natural venom in her fangs and stinger are her main offensive weapons. She prefers her stinger.
Poisonous- Her blood and flesh are highly toxic, causing those who take a bite out of her to perish. Her blood is also dangerous if it gets in the eyes or nose.

Pack Rank: Hunter

Personality: She is always full of energy and is friendly to most dragons she meets. She is quite vain and will often take time to preen her feathers into perfection. She is nervous and timid around most dragons. She holds no fear for predatory creatures or even the toughest of Fen’zi, even if she really should. She thinks Bei’oc look both stupid and adorable.

Bio/History: Cicufel was born in a large pack that consisted entirely of dragons of the [Poison] breed. Her young life was prosperous as her pack held a valley that was rich in Fen’zi. Unfortunately the prey eventually started to run low and she ended up exiled from the pack and forced to find hunting grounds elsewhere. Cicufel wandered alone for a time, ending up in the territories of other packs at random and fleeing at the slightest hint of other dragons. She is quite used to be referred to as “Tradu’r” or “Fen’zi”.

Other: She likes to whistle and hum.

I'm not gonna lie, I have a soft spot for feathered dragons.

 

[BookDragon3]

Name: Sorin

Age: 25,000

Breed: Nagarid

Breath Element (based on breed): Aether

Appearance/Description:


Gender: Male


Size: 25 feet at the shoulder, 90 feet from snout to tail tip


Skills: As a Nagarid Sorin is naturally venomous; Primarily delivered through bite. Sorin also possesses a rare wing tip feature his twin brother does not: a single spike able to inject venom into prey. It is quite helpful since Sorin’s fangs are slightly smaller than a normal Nagrid.


Pack Rank: Alpha

Personality: Excitable but not particularly over joyous. Sorin spends his time thinking before speaking however still tends to place his foot in his mouth when speaking anyway. He is not nearly as collected as Kyrell but tries his best to be so. He is however extremely intelligent and will make sure you know of it. Pride has a tendency to boil up in him and he can act very rashly at times, thinking he knows best. Deeply powerful emotions surge through him at any given moment and he has learned to only reveal those to those closest to him (for now only Kyrell)

Bio/History: Once mature dragons only breed once every so many centuries. It is rare for the clutches to be larger than five, maybe six eggs. It is even rarer for one of those eggs to produce twins. Only one egg was laid to the clutch that brought Sorin and Kyrell into the world. Their sire and dame were shocked, along with the entire flight, when that egg not only produced twins, but twin Nagarids.
It is said that Sorin and Kyrell are one soul within two bodies; Opposites in personality, color, and element, nonetheless their bond runs deeper than blood. Sorin was born with albinism; A direct opposite to Kyrell’s melanistic tones, and in many ways that foreshadowed their whole development.


The brothers grew up in the shadow of the Yggdrasil. Drinking it's amber and learning the deep truths through the song. They were both still under breeding age when the song began to speak of changing tides.

[St. Boethius]

Name: Merth
Age: 45,000
Breed: RydgeBacc
Breath Element (based on breed): Magma
Appearance/Description: attached, A variant of the RydgeBacc that has sacrificed their wings for a thick armor of stone-like bone. Moss and even small trees tend to take root on the sturdy back of the elder dragons.
Gender: Male
Mate (if applicable): N/A
Size: 30 feet tall at the shoulder, 100 feet snout to tail tip
Skills: a natural master of digging into the earth and crushing stone. His powerful jaws and unique digestive system turn these earth bound beasts into walking volcanoes. Able to regurgitate clumps of molten rock or metal to attack from a distance.
Merth has become quite sensitive to vibrations in the earth which has given him something akin to Tremor sight allowing to track and understand his surroundings even if he has burrowed underground.
Pack Rank: ?
Personality: Merth is a very stubborn and unyielding. He respects strength and the hierarchy, but doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind. Once he sets his mind to something he will pursue it to its end and will crush anything that stands in his path. His age has brought him great calm and perspective. Like a dormant volcano he keeps his emotions in check causing him to be quite stoic, but when his emotions do burst forth they do so with great Fervor and power.
Bio/History: Merth is the eldest dragon in his territory and has taken to the quiet life of an elder quite well. He recognizes that he is no longer in his prime and is searching for the dragon to take the position of Alpha from him. Yet despite his age his wealth of experience has kept him in charge much longer than he thought he would be. In his youth he sired many children, but did not stay with a particular mate due to his youthful arrogance. Now he is respected, but alone and has beaten his children into submission. His new hope is that one of his grandchildren or an outsider to best him and keep his brood from stagnation.
