We are the most advanced race to ever walk the Earth.

Our bodies can change into the forms of great beasts in the blink of an eye. We can spout fire and ice and poison from our jaws. We can fly the skies on wings bigger than any bird's. We can build, and fight, and hunt, and destroy.

We are dragon shifters.



Join the dragon shifters: humans that can morph themselves into dragons of all colors and sizes. They live in a land of fantastical creatures and castles and kings. They fight with swords and daggers, claws and fangs. They live in a society much like that of the Medieval Ages- if, of course, those people had the ability to form their bodies into great winged reptilians.

For more detailed descriptions, read below. If not, skip down to the bolded line beneath them.

Location:
The city where this roleplay takes place is called Rhulc. It's made of marble and carved into the side of a great fjord, with water far below. It's an imaginary land. The surrounding area is mostly woodland and moors, with the ocean to the south. The terrain is rocky and there are mountains to the north. The climate ranges from cold winters to hot summers. The sky is often blue with few clouds in the sky.

Other creatures:
Many other magical creatures live in this land. Here are some (but there are many more!): Unicorns, pegasi, gryphons, sea serpents, phoenixes, faeries, etc.

Enemies/threats: Dangerous magical creatures (sea serpents, dark faeries), orcs, trolls, dark elves


Energy Keepers: These are high-ranking officials that serve as a council to the current prince. They wear different colored orbs around their necks on thick white cloth. They are chosen by the prince and other energy keepers for being skilled at their art. There are twelve energy keepers (Character name, and user's name in brackets):

Keeper of-

Knowledge: Alric Bayeal [Dova] Color = Cyan
Battle: Kris Casten [{ Gramps Suho }] | Color = Crimson
Frost: Reserved | Color = White
Fire: Open | Color = Orange
Lightning: Open | Color = Yellow
Poison: Deliora Q. Arthur [The_Mad_Q] | Color = Purple
Acid: Open | Color = Green
Shadow: Yuri Osia [marvel.] | Color = Indigo
Peace: Open |Color = Coffee
Magic: Open | Color = Crystal clear
Sun: Apollo Hayes [Purpledirewolf2015] | Color = Gold
Moon: Reserved | Color = Silver
If you would like to be a keeper, please ask me!

Royalty:

- Dante Casten, prince and heir. When married, title will be 'king'
- Aeron 'Casten', and Dante. Father was the former king, mother was a dark elf. Has no claim to throne.
- Kris 'Casten', half-brother of Dante Casten and Aeron Casten

Notable dark elves and their allies:
- The King of the dark elves and leader in the war, King Tyrog. A powerful sorcerer and rumored necromancer
- Zero- a traitor of the shifters. She came from the shifter city Rhulc, but chose to join the dark elves after a tragic event changed her life. She is recognizable by her metal left hand- which appears in both her dragon and human forms.
- Aeron, half dark elf, half shifter. Carries the orb of the last, now deceased, Moon Keeper.

Full member archive is one post down!

Finally, let me introduce my characters (will add reference images later):

The dragon prince (prince of the kingdom), 19 years: Dante Casten (Male)

A huntress, lives near middle of city, 15 years: Alice Bayeal (Female)

Keeper of Knowledge, 61 years: Alric Bayeal (Male) Dragon form

A thief and smooth-talker, 17 years: Fox Marrison (Female) Human form

A traitor and dark elf consort, 23 years: Zero (Female)

MOD: Nightra


CURRENT PLOT: Dark elves are a big threat to the dragon shifters. They hunt them for their dragon products; scales, teeth, horns, etc. They have moved closer to the city, too; they are becoming more of a nuisance, injuring or killing any who venture along and fall into an ambush. The dragon shifters of the city are growing nervous.They are basically at war with the dark elves. Crime is beginning to run rampant in the lower-class areas, but spreading throughout the city.

It is rumored that the dark elf King is trying to find a way to control a person's very life force, thus controlling them- mind control, in a way. If he succeeds, he could destroy the shifters by turning their own fellow dragons against them.

There is also political chaos among the keepers; many keepers are missing, and new ones are arising, but shifters are fighting one another for the position. Assassins lurk always in the shadows.

||Dante Casten||

The Prince of Dragons rolled over in his bed, tangling his legs in his sheets and flopping ungracefully onto the floor with a dull thud. Groaning and blinking blue eyes awake, the young man sat up, wriggling away from the clinging cloth and glancing around. His room was near the top of the Marble Palace; it was a semi-circle shape, with columns every fifteen feet or so. The columns flanked grand balconies with elegantly carved in the likeness of water and waves; fitting, since his breath power was ice. And also convenient, seeing as the balconies offered a wide, sweeping view of the city, and he could simply sweep out over it himself.

He felt himself grinning. Turning, he tugged open a carved oaken wardrobe and threw on billowed brown trousers, a white tunic, and a rustic red overcoat, all tied together with a leather belt and gold clasps. He swiveled and marveled at himself in a smooth glass mirror, strapping on his curved sword. Stretching and flexing his limbs to ease out the morning grogginess, he pivoted, and then simply charged at the balcony. He flung himself into open air, vaulting over the railing and spreading his arms wide with a cry of delight.

His body morphed. He shifted, bones crackling and snapping. His jaw lengthened, his hair dissolved, and wings sprouted from his shoulder blades. In the blink of an eye, he was a great black dragon, easily the size of five horses, with an ever wider wingspan and eyes like blue ice. He split his jaws and let loose a roar, spewing a blaze of wicked frost into the foggy morning air. He hear answering roars all across the city; others, crying out in greeting to their prince. He grinned, revealing a pair of hard ivory fangs, and tilted his wings, plunging downwards. As the clouds cleared around him, the city spread out before him. Other dragons in flight swung out of his way, some belching fire in greeting.



|| Alice Bayeal ||

Stark green eyes darted back and forth across the still woodland before her. A thick layer of fog coated the ground like the breath of some foul beast, curling around the high-laced black boots that Alice wore. Her white-blonde hair was tugged back in a bun and hidden away beneath a tattered brown hood. Her entire body, in fact, was clad in black and brown. Alice notched an arrow on her bow, breathing out slowly. Before her, a solitary reindeer plodded along heavily on an injured back leg; by the arrow jutting from the haunch, she could see it was a lost prize from someone's previous hunt.

Alice narrowed her eyes, curled her fingers, and released. There was a satisfying hum from the bowstring as the arrow released, hitting the reindeer in the sternum before it could hardly swivel its ears. The creature stumbled a step, slid, and collapsed, never to rise again. Alice swiftly darted to it, grinning happily as she hefted the head to look at the dead beast.

Someone wriggled in her jacket. A small head popped out, and a little tan and black weasel sniffed curiously at the dead animal's snout.

"Oh, quit it, you," Alice shooed her companion with a hand, and the weasel leaped onto her shoulder, clicking indignantly. Alice straightened, yawning, and hefted the reindeer by a leg, beginning to drag. But a voice behind her- a familiar one, thank god- stopped her.

"You know you aren't supposed to be out here alone, little lady." Alice glanced back, sighing.

|| Alric Bayeal ||

The great blue dragon's body shifted into that of a tall old man, leaning on a birch wood staff. He was clad in a white shirt, trousers, and a heavy leather cloak, grinning through his thick gray-white beard as usual. The ribbon and it's orb still hung around his neck, just a smaller version of itself.

Alice groaned loudly in exasperation. Her weasel companion squeaked and dove back into her jacket hood. "Grandfather, I'm fine! The dark elves don't come this close to Rhulc. I'm fine," she said soothingly. But Alric just shook his head at her, frowning. His granddaughter was always hardheaded and stubborn; this was unsurprising.

"Yet," he grunted, "they haven't come- yet." He lumbered forwards and reached to take another leg of the reindeer. "Come, I will help you take this back. And don't wander out again- you are far too young for such things, my little gecko," he said teasingly. Alice couldn't help but grin at the name, apparently.

The two shifted into dragons as white; Alice small but near blinding white with colorful patterns (weasel perched astride her shoulder, of course), and he a dull blue with blazes of silver and indigo. The two launched themselves skyward, hefting the catch with them.

Alric preferred this form. He felt stronger, and more powerful, and youthful. They broke free of the pine canopy, carving a path through the wind back towards the city.

|| Fox Marrison ||

"HEY! Get back here!" A voice roared in outrage. Literally, roared. A man had charged from the market place, his body morphing into a big, dark green beast, snorting smoke furiously. In front of him, a lithe girl with vibrant red-orange hair glanced breathlessly back, weaving through the crowds into an alleyway and diving across some crates into an even smaller alley. The green dragon leaped after her, scattering annoyed people as he pursued her. He rammed his snout into the narrow alley that she had inched into, spread his jaws, and let loose a blast of flames. The 17 year old yelped in alarm, then swung the item she had stolen from him- a sleek black cape- around her shoulders. The fire curled off and away from it like water on duck feathers.

"Thanks for the fire cape!" Fox hollered, smirking over the hem of it before darting out the other end and away. She heard the enraged cries of the dragon behind her die away as she fled, and soon she was lost to him completely.

Breathing hard, Fox settled herself down at the edge of a street near another market center, examining her prize in silence.
