Is there any chance to know where each character is geographicly?
I'm not sure where do I start

[5a Violista]

My character's location is currently undefined: I'll just have her show up wherever I want because it doesn't matter. Most likely, though, somewhere where some other dragon already is because then there's the chance for interaction.

[Emperor Ing]

How come i'm only just now hearing about this?

I'll try to come up with a character soon-ish.

I'll try to get a proper map as soon as possible.

Welcome aboard! (And JohnTheSavage too!)

I can see the lack of proper geography is already causing some confusion, so best nip that in the bud.

EDIT: Looks like a simple map isn't entirely out of my reach.

Spoiler: Map

Note: I intentionally left a lot of the map unlabelled, so you guys can name them if it so happens you cross any of them. I might add more independent cities as I go on.

[Emperor Ing]

And character! I was thinking of a Mad Scholar type deal with a bit more draconic greed for good measure. Fortunately he's not crazy, yet, but he'll be a bit off.

Spoiler: Hektirithir the Lost

Show

Do you doubt me? Can you not see my serious-face? Oh this? Pay attention Shopkeep, i'm educating you! Put down that broom! This is an Storm-Eye Orb! A priceless magical artifact of unfathomable arcane power from the ancient Perrigan civilization, and you were using it as a paperweight? Yes I know it's box-shaped, the Perrigans weren't quite sure what an "orb" was supposed to be shaped like. There's only one other Storm-Eye in the world! I'd hate to learn what other priceless historical and magical artifacts you have wasting away! Perhaps an Eversword as a bread slicer or the Hand of Time as a backscratcher?! Oh? Of course I smashed it on the ground. I said I smashed it on the ground! Stop asking what I did, already! It was for a good cause, you see, now I have the only Storm-Eye Orb in the world! Don't you see? It's value can only increase now that there is only one in the world! Hey, calm down! Not the broom! Hey!
-Hektirithir the Lost to Jack Flendersen on the topic of Flendersen's unwitting ownership of a Storm-Eye Orb.

Name: Hektirithir
Sex/Gender: Male
Dragon type: Winged Quadrupedal

Spoiler: Physical description

Show

Hektirithir body is covered in pale orange scales that fade into a soft white on his underbelly. At the extremities on his body at both sets of legs, in addition to the ends of the crest on the back of his head, his scales darken into a light brown. His claws and horns are all a shiny lustrous gold. Behind his head a bony crest forms a funnel shape that opens up towards his neck, ending with several golden horns. From this funnel is a mane of white hair. His wings are feathery birdlike pinions with a similar pale-gold coloration as the rest of Hektirithir.

Hektir is quite young, standing on all fours with wings folded, only being slightly larger than a pony (though noticeably longer.)

Spoiler: Personality and history

Show

Hektirithir or simply Hector grew up rather poor, at least by dragon standards. His family never seemed to be able to accumulate anything resembling a respectable hoard, and as such were looked upon by other dragons with contempt and even the lesser races seemed to disregard any threat the family might pose. Indeed his mother was a diplomat and his father an artisan who worked often for nothing, disguised as a human in the nearby town.

Whatever virtue they and their modest lifestyles attempted to impart on their children, it was lost on Hector, who became frustrated by the family's lack of financial progress, criticizing his parents for their lack of greed. His mother informed him that power and prestige don't simply come from the number of coins one has. He took this lesson to heart, but interpreted it very incorrectly. Why hoard currency, after all? It's value only exists insofar as others are willing to perceive it having value. Sure it's delicious, but then why not hoard cattle?

Rather, Hector found a different path. In another one of his parents' attempts to help them integrate peacefully with human society, Hector went into a library, where he discovered a new path to wealth: Obscure, hidden knowledge. References to ancient civilizations, obscure religions, and other pieces of hidden and forgotten lore. Whether it be truthful or otherwise, knowledge, in and of itself had value. Especially when that knowledge led to ancient and forgotten ruins, which held ancient and forgotten artifacts!

Since this enlightening moment, Hector has pursued all manner of forgotten lore, even using his own resources and powers towards archaeology expeditions. He has developed a very impressive collection of priceless historical artifacts of every sort, from ancient, non-magical pottery to powerful magical artifacts. His desire for priceless ancient lore has destructive tendencies, however. After all, he loathes competition for his artifacts and will often destroy books just so nobody else can know about these facts, simply to increase their value. Scarcity does have a relationship to value, after all. Fortunately, if his parents were able to impart one lesson onto him, its a respect for life. Hector dislikes violence. He is willing to defend himself if needed, but will try to avoid a fight, especially against a living, sentient enemy, in which case he will most likely flee or try to avoid them completely. He is also quite squeamish.

Spoiler: Abilities

Show

Hector can fly fairly well. For a dragon his age and size, his strength and toughness are quite lacking, doing everything he can to avoid fights, and will try to flee if attacked. Fortunately he does make up for his physical weakness with intelligence and a decent agility. The fact that he can make use of spellcasting helps as well, as he has access to several weak, low-level spells like the ability to cast light or create illusions such as fake walls.

His breath-weapon is an arc of lightning.

He has access to the Storm-Eye Orb, which allows him to control the movement of weather. He's found out that it's not actually that useful in practice since it can neither create or destroy weather, simply relocate it, and only then very, very slowly.

Finally, he has extensive knowledge of historical and esoteric knowledge, the more obscure or forbidden, the better!

[Emperor Ing]

So uh, any ideas where I can hop in?

[igordragonian]

Maybe he'l meet my dragon who also looking for treasures and good to revive his kingdom?
He might feel the earth shaking under his claws..

Speaking of, for you and any other dragon that might have a kingdom of a sort, please do mark them on the map (by any image program you have) and send 'em to me. I'll add them.

[igordragonian]

here the map...


The kingdom supposed to look like after apocalyptic battle between ancient dragon and a demonic dragon

Your link is bad.

So I fixed it.

Thanks, Emperor Ing. I'll add it to the map after work tonight. (I hope the name of that kingdom is somewhere in your profile.)

Ing-sama you are truly the best!

[Grif]

I updated the map in the IC.

Also, I have ported over everyone's (hopefully) characters into this sheet. You're welcome to edit it, no sign-in required.

[Emperor Ing]

Hektirithir isn't on the sheet.

[DJ Yung Crunk]

Oh we've started have we? Sorry, I kind of dropped off.

[Grif]

Oh we've started have we? Sorry, I kind of dropped off.

Indeed we have! Feel free to hop in whenever you're ready.

[DJ Yung Crunk]

I'll figure it out. Where are our character sheets right now? I would like to know what everyone else plays.

[Grif]

All links should be in the first post.

But here it is.

@Emperor Ing
I added Hector

[sildra45]

In case anyone's wondering, I'm waitin' for a Taisa reply. ^^;

[Grif]

I know, it's strange that the one who mooted about the game hasn't even participated yet. But! I come to you with a character idea!

Who wants a clingy kobold who worships the first dragon who saves his measly life? (Technically not a dragon, but kobolds are dragon-lite, right? )

[Emperor Ing]

Go for it! Hektir will be happy to help save someone's life.

[Lord Raziere]

In case anyone's wondering, I'm waitin' for a Taisa reply. ^^;

Yeah, Taisa's player: JohntheSavage hasn't responded for 10 days, and while I like JohntheSavage, he tends to go absent for long periods of time. usually weeks or months. I wouldn't hold your breath. So...your call if you want to keep waiting for him.

Oh, thanks for the heads up. In that case, we might want to just move the scene and assume Taisa tags along as a silent companion.

[igordragonian]

for some reason last ing's post reminded me this...

[Lord Raziere]

Uh, what do with the small timeskip? the others haven't responded to me....so....I don't really know what to do.

[Grif]

Gonna try poking them. If not I'll just step in to fill the gap with a (dragon) character I been musing.

[Lord Raziere]

*pokkety pokkety pokkety*

yo sildra, seems like its your cue.........just saying. I already have responses for this and it seems rude to not act without Cavoraei responding...so....you up to it or not?

[Elodin]

How big do the dragons have to be?

[Grif]

Hi! There's no set size for dragons, so go wild! I only ask that you do not make world destroyers or something similarly silly. We do want to keep the setting somewhat intact!
