: Let Me Be Your Hero : Closed~

[FarAwaySong]

=================================================================================================================

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

ing in, shaping up,

then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh,

I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh,

I'm radioactive, radioactive

Let me be your hero


Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

When the world fell to ruins once, they weren't going to let it happen again.
After the floods and storms, the land of Fallone was finally at peace. Ruins of the old palace and kingdom were crumbling and left to fall apart. The villages settled again; rebuilding and reshaping their homes. Though the land had settled, dire wolves and rouge dragons were still a threat, and were often snatching people away. With their numbers decreasing rapidly, they decided to form a Guard. Dragon riders were trained, and guarded the villages; fighting off predators and threats, and protecting the livestock and people. This went on for 40 years.

One month, a few riders had been killed in a freak accident. Nobody knew what happened to them; their dragons were never seen again, and the people were torn to pieces, left in the tall grass. They needed a few new riders, and took 5 teens. They began training, and were assigned to the same sqaudron. It was very soon relevant that they did not get along; at all. But they were forced to get along, though it was fake, and to work together. They became some of the best riders, until one day, it didn't matter. In a panic, a rider flew sloppily and as fast he he could into the stables where the dragons were kept. He told of the other villages being destroyed, but unknown by what. Just as he was speaking, screams erupted from the village, both animal and human. Flame flew up in the village, enveloping the entire land. People scattered, screaming and crying as their homes and lives went up in flames. Just as it began, the earth began to rumble, as if it was annoyed with all the ruckus above. Suddenly, the earth cracked in shapes, creating huge caverns and drops. Screams echoed as people feel into the darkness below. The riders were told to mount their dragons, and to fly to assist the ones still alive. Before they could find anyone in the broken, flamed village, the dark sky turned blue and white at one side. Everyone was frozen, staring in horror at the approaching, unthinkibly large wave hurtling toward them. It stayed risen, just before slamming down on the helpless village, destroying whatever as left. Riders and their dragons were caught in the wave, and pulled down to crash into buildings and the houses below. The 5 riders barely made it out, but were lost completely as smoke clouded the air. They couldn't see their dragon's head infront of them. They hurtled through the air, before all blacking out in mid air.

When they awoke, they were in a charred, but some green still alive, woods. They were scattered within a mile of eachother, with their dragons. They were slow to rise, bruises and cuts scattered over their bodies. Their dragons whimpered and slowly stood, wings aching, and also covered in their share of cuts and black bruises. Where were they? After they found one another, what were they to do? Could they band together to survive, though they despise one another? And will they ever find out what created those disasters? It wasn't normal. Someone had made it happen. But who? And why?

[delkira]

Username: Delkira
Name: Rin Yume
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Rank: Scout and Dragon Caretaker
Dragon name: Shiro (shee-roh)
Dragon Gender: Male
Dragon Age: the human equivalent is 13
Personality: You summed it up pretty nicely.
Appearance: Rin has long strait black hair, brown eyes, and stands around 5' 2" (157.5cm). Shiro is a white dragon with blue markings, fur instead of scales, and is a slight bit smaller than the other dragons because of his younger age.
History/bio: Rin grew up in a pretty ordinary family with an older brother, a mother, a father, and a cat. When she was a kid, she would go and watch the riders take care of their dragons instead of playing with the other kids in the village. She has always admired dragons because of their loyalty and intelligence.
There was one rider that treated his dragon like a tool instead of a companion. One day Rin flipped out at him for his actions, caused quite a scene, and was later scolded by her parents. Since then she’s been very self-conscious about her temper.
She was chosen as one of the 5 teens because of her previous extensive knowledge on dragons and obvious love of the creatures.
Likes/dislikes: Rin likes most animals; dogs, cats, birds, and especially dragons. She is not a fan of fish. She enjoys being alone or with Shiro. She hates seeing animals abused and if she sees someone insulting or mistreating their dragon, she will very likely flip out at them.
Other: Rin carries a small knife on her at all times and uses it for simple everyday tasks like cutting up fruit.

`Adara'
[Female] [18]

"You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
Here it comes, this rising tide
So come on

Put on your war paint

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey lining

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart"

_________________________________________________________

Theme Song: The Phoenix - Fall Out Boy

Personality: Adara's most notable trait, of course, is her temper. She can go from happy and easy going to snappy and furious with in minutes. It doesn't take too much to set her off sometimes. She doesn't like to be told what to do. She's very protective of her freedom. She doesn't, however, seem to value the freedom of others as much as she should. She's very bossy and often thinks that she knows what's best for everyone (even if she might not). She's extremely loyal and fiercely protective. Sometimes a bit too protective. She can be a bit like a mama bear sometimes.

Adara is also very stubborn. If she doesn't agree with something (with is often) she won't do it. She just won't do it. She often contradicts the group leader and usually openly insults him and his judgement. She's probably the greatest source of conflict in the group, but she doesn't always notice. Sometimes she goes as far as thinking its the fault of others. If she sees that she's wrong, you know she's really screwed up.

However, when she's not blowing off steam, Adara is actually a pretty nice person. Mostly. She's a teaser and a joker (when she's not being really serious. For all her faults, she knows when it's not a good time for jokes). She can be very motherly sometimes, especially when someone is hurt or upset. She will be the first to run to people in their time of need. She's a gifted healer and she'll do everything in her power to help them. This doesn't apply to just the people she keeps company with. If someone, anyone, is hurt, she will help them, and she won't listen to anyone who tries to dissuade her.

|| Check || Him || Out ||
hair ;; "My hair is brown and short."

build ;; "I have a rather muscular build, my height is average for a guy of my age. My appearance is really nothing special.

important possessions ;; "I do own a carved wooden dragon necklace given to me by my mother. I wear the wooden charm on a thin black leather strap around my neck. It's hidden by my jacket though."

|| Inside || The || Mind || Of || A || Leader ||
personality ;; "I'm the leader, do you really need to know me?"
Tobey is a true leader and his instructions are rational, he is always looking out for the group. Though they tend to disrespect him a lot and a few specific ones who tend to completely ignore his orders most of the time. Luckily he can be very patient and persuasive. He is kind and tries not to be too harsh on the group even when he wants to strangle them. The group to him is like a family, though he doubts that the rest see it that way. He is responsible, knowing when something is too dangerous and could harm the group. He is fair too, not making big decisions without some input from the others. He hates cheaters and people who play unfairly, he is a sucker for equality. Sometimes he can be lost in his pride, not wanting to hurt his image of leader. Despite his patience he is hotheaded and easily blown into a rage, especially at two trouble makers in the group. Adara, the outgoing girl and, Damon, the bad boy, to be specific. Most of the time his orders are followed, but sometimes he can take it too far, being unintentionally bossy. He likes the power of being in charge and it can go to his head.
strengths ;; "Ha, everything and don't you forget it."
He is strong in the skills of leadership and planning. He has a quick thinking mind and works well under pressure. He is also strong too.
weaknesses ;; "Nothing."
Tobey lets his pride get in the way often. He doesn't want his ego to be hurt. He can be hotheaded and that isn't a pretty sight when he is angry. His bossiness does let him down too. He also has a fear of storms, they just freak him out.

|| What's || The || Story || ? ||
history ;; "My life was simple. My elder brother was a stillborn and he tore my mothers heart apart. But when she successfully conceived me she was overjoyed. I guess I could say that I was spoiled, and I was. Growing up I was free, my father and mother would laugh with me, spend time with me. We were all so close. Until I became a dragon rider, I drifted away from them and my father turned sick whilst I was out on the mission. I have reason to believe he is dead, but my poor mother is alive. I wish I could still be in contact with them. I wish that the last thing I said to them wasn't I hate you."
family ;; "My only known living family is my mother."
friends ;; "My only friend has to be my dragon, Charcoal. He's always there for me, as serious as he is. He is a loyal companion."
allies ;; "My group, They are of course my allies. But we aren't close enough to call each other friends."
enemies ;; "None, yet."
crush ;; "No, who has time for love anyway?"

Damon always had a craving for adventure ever since he was little. He would frequently get himself into trouble in all sorts of different ways, normally consisting of things he was specifically told not to do. Despite his parents' efforts, even as a 6 year-old, Damon was a hand full of trouble waiting to happen, not even mentioning his persistent attitude.

Around the age of the 12, Damon grew very close to a blonde girl who lived in the village and would do almost everything for her. Every single moment of the day he would spend trying to impress her, and thus getting himself into much more mischief than ever. Even as a young boy, he had always been a bit hot headed and stubborn, but Natalie, the blonde girl, managed to make him a bit of a better person... until the day she was killed by burglars that had invaded cities. Damon had tried his best to protect her, even managing to shoot one of his arrows in the burglar's shoulder, but it wasn't enough to stop the burglar from killing her as he made a mess in her house. If it hadn't been for Damon's speed, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

After that experience, Damon grew slightly harsh and insensitive, taking a long time to grow attached to a person, and even when he did he would hide it. Life had shown him that being kind made you vulnerable and weak, so he decided to just do what he wished and pleased and allow his heart to slowly harden... or at least make it seem like so.

Finally around the age of 14, Damon was sent off to train to become a rider, something he quickly learned to love. There was an absolute bond of trust he shared with his dragon, who he affectionately named Night Venom for her dark scales and bright yellow eyes. He would go no where without Night and he loved her attitude almost as much as he loved his own. Despite not always getting along with the group, he ended up caring for them in a way he would never admit.



Damon is definitely what you could classify as THE "Bad Boy." He frequently comes off as insensitive, persistent, a bit harsh, and very flirty. There are rarely any second thoughts in his mind and despite being fairly smart, he doesn't really think things through. Of course, this leads him to often object to everyone's ideas, always favoring his own instead. It definitely might take a while, but once you manage to stand Damon's attitude, you'll see he's worth it.

In further detail, Damon isn't all such a mean person, he's just frequently getting himself into and out of trouble. He'll frequently give people a hard time, but won't hesitate to help out when things get too dangerous. There isn't a day where you will find Damon ditching someone over a selfish reason. Despite sometimes being categorized and labeled as a jerk, you can always count on his promises.

Extra perks

Damon has a habit
of biting his lips when
he is nervous or deep
in thought.

Things to note

When Damon is too
stressed out, a fly with Night
or a good amount of food
always makes him feel
better.

"People who make no mistakes lack boldness and the spirit of adventure. They are the brakes on the wheels of progress." ~Dale Turner

Asriel suddenly had the feeling of falling. He flailed, his eyes snapping open. Just as he had the feeling, it was gone, and he was still; laying on the soft, cold ground of the woods. He turned his head slowly, though it ached as he did so. He blinked his eyes a few times, his sight hazy and unfocused. "What..." He murmured, leaning forward. But he took it too quickly, and instantly felt dizzy. he held his head with a hand, trying to steady himself. He was now sitting upright, but looked like he had been in a battle with a raging river. He was muddy, and his clothes were still damp and sticking slightly to his skin. His hair was a mess, and a few cuts glimmered on his skin. Asriel eyes surveyed the area around him, and it instantly struck him of what had happened before. It was a hazy picture of what had happened before he wound up here, though it was jumbled up, a few parts missing. He slowly moved forward to stand, having to steady and push himself up by using the ground and his hand.

He wiped his hands on his pants as he stood. His body ached and was refusing to accept that he wanted to stand. He flinched slightly as he went to take a step with his right leg. He leaned down, and pulled up the pant leg, revealing dirty skin, but also a considerably large bruise right below his knee. He sighed deeply, letting the pant leg fall back down. Suddenly, he remembered Shadire. He whirled around, ignoring the ache. He trudged through the brush, his eyes darting every which way. "Shadire!" Shady!" He called, giving a little whistle. He suddenly tripped on a hidden root, and fell face first into the damp, still slightly muddy ground.
