    Default [M] Legends :: The Beginning (OOC)

    The Legend Begins

    Rated MATURE.
    Be aware that the following may contain, but is not limited to: graphic violence, gore, language, drug/alcohol abuse, sexual content/themes, very sad endings, adult themes, death, and many feels.



    Begin the legend here.

    "How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
    Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us."

    ~RAINER MARIA RILKE, Letters to a Young Poet


    For as long as anyone can remember, dragons have ruled the lands. Perhaps they were here first, and only defend their home, or perhaps they have come to punish us from the evils of human decisions and trials; regardless, they are the bane of every village or house, any woman with child or man afoot in the forest, anywhere those mighty wings can reach. Their never-ending fire pours down from the sky onto wooden roofs, setting fields aflame and tossing fragile human bodies hundreds of feet into the air like fodder. Food stores burn to a crisp, leaving winters colder and less full than before. Young children go missing as they play in the meadows, with only a whisper of leathery-wings to ever have accounted for their existence. The roar from miles above sends people fleeing underground, in hopes of being spared from this reign of terror and fire. For as long as anyone can remember, hundreds upon thousands of dragons have ruled by fire and blood.

    They have scales of every color. Some grow over centuries to be the size of a small castle, some hardly seem larger than a horse. Winds span to block the sun or seem to be non-existent at all. Most breathe fire straight from the shaking furies of hell, but some have rows within rows of teeth sharp enough that they would never be tempted to use their mighty weapon. Those without legs fly like an owl through the night, a demon on the wind, bodies coiled like servants, a silent monster. But those dragons with four legs, some even two, could land and run faster than any horse, using mighty trunks of muscles to tear down houses with a single fore-swipe, the ground cratering beneath their limbs.

    There are bands of men who go about raising war with the dragons. Never has there been enough support from the people as a whole, maybe out of fear, for the Dragon Raiders to make a true and significant dent on the wild dragons. They specialize in sneaking into the dens that lay in hiding, putting knives and swords up the throats of young dragon-kin, while the scales were still soft. Occasionally, they found a wounded dragon from some mighty dragon fight and proceeded to murder it. More often than not, the Raiders could be found dragging these trophies to the village boasting of great fights and victory. In the recent years, the subtle victories of the Raiders have begun to spark a feeling of rebellion among the people. Several are joining the ranks, but the warnings from those in the sky have not been enough to stop their plans. The Raiders are fueling the fires of anger and hate in the dragons.

    This is where the Legend of the Dragon Guardians begins.

    The Legend would tell of a two men who spent their lives among the dragons. One made the drawings that would eventually be the foundation of all we know about all the winged creatures, the Book of Dragons. After fifty years among the dragon-kin, there was one elder dragon who had faith in one of the men, in his dream of stopping these wars between man and beast. Together they flew, speaking without words and with no hesitation between them, for there was instantly a connection beyond love between them. As she grew old and he grew wise, they decided there would be other humans, the humans who could begin generations of riders, who would done as they had done, become one, and make peace. They ventured from the land beyond the mountains, her with her seven fledgling dragons, only just beginning to stretch their young wings to reach the heavens, him with high hopes and faith. In secret, the trio roamed the lands, looking for those that the young ones would connect to, their Heart-String companions. They would spend nearly a year searching for the seven who would make their life's work and forever dreams a reality. Those that would stop the Age of the Dragon Raids, on human and dragon sides alike. They would make a peace that had never existed.

    They would be the partners of dragons. The guardians. The kin and blood of dragon. These chosen beings would be Dragon-Riders.

    Dragon

    Name: Esmira

    Gender: Female

    Appearance: For you Visual Thinkers Her Shape is Similar to This She is built for cutting through the air like few others her body long and slim with a deeply barreled chest, a whip-like tail, and an elongated neck and head making aerodynamic maneuvers come naturally to her (Once she's learned to Fly that is). A dual row of triangular flaps along her spine, made of the same material as her scales, increase her maneuverability along with the extended wing membrane that connects from the wing joint to the base of her tail. Her scales share the same iridescent rainbow of colors as white opals the base color gleaming like pearls, her eyes are a whirl of lavender and ice blue with slitted pupils, leaving the only dark spots on her body the delicately curved talons and thin spiraled horns which share the same onyx black color. She has four legs all slender and easily tucked against her bodice in flight, her long wings are separate from her forelimbs and each individual wing spans nearly the same length as her body, the edges are lined with spines where the bones run through the membrane to give it shape.

    Personality: She cares for those she gets to know and becomes highly protective them, bordering occasionally on jealously aggressive. Her age makes her somewhat reckless though she will wisen up given time, rarely making the same mistake more than twice before she either asks for help or figures out a solution. She can be easily embarrassed and defensive at times but she is eager to learn new things given the chance.

    Attack Propensity: Magic

    Secondary Skill: Flying

    Name: Gareth Wayne
    Gender: Male
    Age: 26
    Appearance:
    Spoiler: Gareth Wayne 

    Brief Personality: A heart as golden as the scales of a dragon resides within the chest of Gareth. A look of mirth always alight in his eyes, and the hints of a smile always playing at the corners of his lips. He is a generally happy person, one that loves the land around him and the creatures that inhabit it. He has a healthy respect for the elderly and often times will help those in need. He is an adamant defender of dragons, and will be the first to stand up to a raider or amateur hunter. He believes that dragons are to be honored and respected - but more than that, they are to be left alone to their own ways. He believes that dragons do not wish to harm humans, but they will not hesitate to defend their own kind, and their young-lings.

    Though he appears to be kind and soft, he can become a tempest of anger, if one pushes him to that point. His anger has always been his weakest flaw - always leading him into trouble more than out of it. His anger is what drives him to become the defender of dragons, but it is also when he is at his strongest.

    Backstory: Hailing from Cimbre the Circle City, the last free human settlement in dragon-lands, Gareth has always seen the majesty of the the great beasts of the sky and earth, magic and mystery. Even as a child, his mother would tell him stories of the prowess of the dragons and their gifts, and the colors of their scales that shimmered in the light of the sun and moon, scales worth more than all the gems beneath the Earth. It was seeing their forms in the distance, great colored spots on the horizon, that brought about his admiration for these mighty creatures.

    His mother, seeing the dangerous admiration her son had towards these devastating creatures, packed their things and left the Circle City. It was with a great sorrow that he followed his mother from their home in Cimbre to the over-populated Armaretto, a decision that still causes him sorrow to this day, for shortly after their arrival in Armaretto, he learned that the city had fallen to the dragons. It was not the only thing he lost that day, his father and grandparents were also within the city as the dragons fell upon it with a fiery vengeance.

    His mother, in a deep despair and great desperation fell into a silent-state, and failed to provide for her only living child. Gareth was forced to find work in Armaretto and labored through the years doing various skills whether it be: smithing, tailoring, or even cooking. He did what he needed to ensure the survival of his mother and himself. It was his duty, and his privilege. She was his last living relation, and if he were to lose her, he would be alone.

    And, as fate would will it, his mother succumbed to her grief and left him alone at the mere age of 19. His life would be difficult from this point forward. There was no work to be had in the city with the massive influx of refugees from the surrounding villages and townships. The dragons seemed to be fighting back against something, and his suspicions were proven when a group of weapon-clad armored men stalked into the city brandishing the body of a young dragon with its throat cut and wings sheared off. The sheer sight of the young dragon dead brought a rage within him that was nearly unbridled, one that would serve him well in his future.

    He was arrested a few short days later for the murder of the group who had previously brought in the dragon corpse, and sentenced to death. This would not deter his mission - the cells held him for less than three hours before he had escaped and left the city to escape their "justice".

    He traveled the wilds, for many grueling days, being forced to survive on what little he could until he reached The Swamp of Misery, where he was briefly taken in by a rag-tag group of villagers who made a living in the settlement of Riverbend. It was the closest thing he had felt to a family in many years, his family being taken from him by Fate and Dragons fire. He remained in Riverbend for 3 years, and upon the age of 23 he left for the Rhulak-Zagul, the land of the dragons. He held no resentment towards the creatures who had taken his family from him - he knew why they were attacking human settlements: The Raiders.

    They were the source of the problem for dragons and human relations, and for the next three years, his life would be spent protecting the secret nests and lairs of the beasts. It was a short lived mission though, as whispers began to reach his ears of dragon sightings in Astel and the surrounding area. And, so he would leave dragon-lands, but not unchanged by the untamed magics that run freely in that land. His appearance would be forever altered by the creatures of legend; his ears taking on the likeness of daggers in their shape, and his eyes became pools of sapphire - rivaling that of dragons scales color. His movements would also become more graceful and agile, his body able to sustain itself without food weeks longer than the average human would be able to survive.

    Dragon
    Name: Mamoru (Meaning Protector)
    Gender: Male
    Spoiler: Appearance.  


    Personality: Often by himself as he is somewhat uncontrollable. Overly protective and aggressive, he wants to have friends but his aggressive nature most times pushes people away. He can be inarticulate in expressing his emotions sometimes. This constant alone time makes Mamoru even more aggressive, even lashing out on his supposed friends. However, when understood and treated fairly, he is considerate, kind, and tame. Always very curious, putting him in somewhat dangerous situations. Being the oldest of his brothers and sisters, Mamoru is very intelligent, often getting himself out of the dangerous situations just as quickly as he got himself into them. Mamoru's anger often makes people biased against him, fearing him, and wanting him to be chased away.

    Attack Propensity: Physical
    Secondary Skill: Intelligence
