Coughing, I look at the girl who just asked how I am. Her clothing is a little singed, but it's easily recognizable as the Dragon Ranger garb. Apparently her job is with the little demons inside the barn. I brush off my clothing and try to ignore the strong smell of burning fabric that is either coming from me or the girl. "Fine," I mutter, then challenge, "Who's asking?"

Before she answers, I hear an animal-like screech come from one of the pens. I turn and see a ranger with three dragon pups. The pups attempt to flame at the trainer, but he easily steps aside and strikes the pups with something. I squint my eyes and look at the object he's holding. It looks like a metal rod, but at the end are five curved pieces that look like claws. A tendril of steam rises from the point of the claws, and I realize this must be a tool to try and replicate a dragon's claws.

I turn my attention back to the girl. "So you're a pup trainer..?" I ask, nodding towards the barn. I'm just starting to realize how different dragons are from horses. They have the same instincts, to attack when in doubt, but dragons have claws. And tails. And fire. Let's not forget the fire. I rub my arm self-conciously, then catch myself and stop. I'm not going to let anyone think I'm uncomfortable here.

hello there! May I reserve a female warrior? This is a new account, so I don't have examples of my writing for you to look at just yet, but rest assured that I am more than capable of meeting the expectations. If you'd like, I can PM you examples from previous rps I've been in. c:

The soft sound of flowing water was the only noise that was disturbing the pleasant silence. Ronan was crouched near the stream, his bow strapped comfortably over his shoulder as he dipped his canteen into the cool water, and once the container was full, he drew it back up and screwed the lid shut once more. Straightening up from his sitting position, the ranger dusted himself off and began making his way back up the stream's bank. As he entered a small clearing, a black mass suddenly stirred and suddenly he was face to face with his dragon. Shruikan's yellow orbs flickered, regarding his master for a moment and then with a deep sigh the dragon left off a trail of smoke. At this, a hint of a smile appeared on Ronan's face. "Oh come now, it wasn't that boring waiting for me, was it?" Shruikan simply snorted in response and Ronan took a pace back to allow the large dragon to stretch his long wingspan.

"Let's head back to camp." He murmured to his dragon, storing his canteen away. As the two of them re-entered the camp a few moments later, it surprisingly was quiet for once. Usually by now there was commotion going about, which is usually why Ronan went out on a morning patrol to gain some peace. A growl made him glance over his shoulder and he found that Shurikan was now laying down at the edge of camp, unwilling to walk further into the camp. Last time he had tried to, he had knocked several of the tents down, so Ronan didn't blame him for being reluctant to enter the space again. Another smile twitched across Ronan's lips, but he turned his attention away from his dragon for once to take a scan over the camp. Despite it being quiet earlier, people were now stirring and he knew that soon everyone will be up and claiming their duties for the day.

Being nearly twenty, Ronan was a young warrior among the ranger ranks. He finished his apprenticeship only a few years ago, so he was unsure when his time would come when Caerleon finally decided on giving him an apprentice to look after and teach. Most likely not anytime soon... He usually goes for the older rangers. He mused to himself, taking a seat on a wooden chair just outside his own abode. Lowering his bow off his shoulder, he checked its string. An unstrung bow is a burden, not a weapon. The gruff words of his former mentor reminded him.

ＤＩＳＰＯＳＩＴＩＯＮ

Main Traits•••

•Strong Willed•
Adaira is a woman of power. She believes in strength, justice, and honor. To her, there is more glory in laying down your life for someone else rather than fending for yourself. She is far from an obedient warrior, and often speaks out and challenges the Leader's commands, always in an effort to protect the cult. She has little patience for slow learners, and is very hard on the apprentices in her keep-- tolerating no disrespect toward other rangers. The quickest way to earn her trust and respect is to show honestly where your loyalties lie, and to speak out for what is right, not simply follow the commands you are given.

•Intense•
Adaira will spare no mercy when it comes to battle and training. She makes her instructions and desires clear and expects them to be followed and met without fault. She will not hesitate to put anyone she feels has fallen out of line back in their place, but thankfully she doesn't have to do this very often. Adaira, when she was much younger, possessed a fury of a temper, erupting into a violent rage at the slightest provocation. Much to the delight of her fellow rangers, this temperament faded over time and she became cool and collected in public. On her own, however, she has been known to lose her composure more than once.

•Humble•
Something that comes as a surprise to most as they get to know Adaira, is her genuinely humble attitude. She knows her place among the rangers, and knows better than to stray from it. She is quite aware that she is one of the oldest rangers, aside from their leader, Caerleon, and that her romantic follies are likely at an end. After the loss of her husband, Alexander, she became more demure than she had been in her youth, aware of how fragile life truly is. She is always at the ready to offer help and advice to those who seek it, and comfort to all who need it.


•Loving/Forgiving•
Adaira is admittedly weak in this area. She is inherently motherly, especially to the female apprentices, but it contradicts her strict warrior nature, often leaving herself and her charges a bit confused on where their relationship stands. Adaira, unlike some of the warriors, is a firm believer in second chances-- a grace that was not extended to her late husband. Although she may never come to terms with it, Adaira is seeking healing from her previous marriage, and at some point would desire to move on and possibly remarry if the opportunity arises-- but it would take an exceptional man to arise to her good graces.

•Cunning/Witty•
This maiden is known among the rangers for her wit and prowess in battle, and the strange bond with her dragon, Sephe. Many rangers have remarked upon seeing her in the forest with Sephe, arguing aloud with the fearsome beast that almost seems to shrink beneath the warrior. She uses her strategic know-how to survive at all costs, and defend her fellow rangers who have become her dearest family.


Likes•••
•Adaira finds long walks, or exercise in general, to be very good for the spirit. She will occasionally take to the woods or even just wander the training grounds when she is in need of some relaxing.•
•Unlike some of the other rangers, Adaira doesn't find flying with her dragon to be a comfort at all. To her, it means battle and purpose. When she is in the saddle, it's not the time for leisure. Instead, she finds herself much more at peace nestled against the rumbling chest of Sephe, buried between his scaled front legs on solid ground.•
•Adaira adores rainy days and thunderstorms at night. There's not a time when she sleeps more peacefully. She loves to stay awake and listen to the roaring, imagining that the gods are having it out over a beautiful woman.•

Dislikes•••
•Adaira dislikes being interrupted, especially when she is speaking or in deep thought. It serves to fuel her inner annoyance, though she would never outwardly show it•
•Adaira cannot stand almost any kind of showing off, especially when it involves the younger apprentices who believe they could easily face a rival and bring them down with a single swipe•
•A passtime that Adaira finds tedious and unfulfilling is reading. It gives her headaches, and only serves to frustrate her.•

Fears/Phobias•••
•Athazagoraphobia•
Fear of being forgotten or abandoned
•Failure•
Adaira fears letting those around her down

ＤＲＡＧＯＮ

•••
name
Sephe
•••
gender
male
•••
appearance
Sephe is not much in the way of spikes and other fearsome additions to a dragon's scales. Instead he is smooth, and built for swift and acrobatic maneuvers, making him ideal in a quick get away but requires extra effort on Adaira's part when it comes to battle. His scales are a faded white, leaning more toward cream, but with a rich maroon on the underside of his scales that is revealed when he ruffles them up. Upon his chest is a rubbery-like hide that spider-webs out between his scales, glowing a bright gold when the flames begin to build up in his sternum. This glow can radiate outside of the dragon's body, providing light. His eyes are a dark amber, and the scales beneath his eyes stick out in subtle spikes. He has strong, lithe legs and a long, narrow tail. His neck is elegant, and has about two feet of additional length than most dragons. His feet and talons are unusually large, looking almost comical attached to his thin legs and frame.

[Little Rebel]

ooc; anyone wanna rp with Kai? And any ideas how I can bring her in? Because I have no clur how to start. I've tried about three or four times now and I am just stuck!

[1989;]

ooc: @tiny cat if you'd like, and it's okay with instritin, Adaira could be Kai's mentor and they could be doing some training of sorts. Archery, possibly? c: it's totally up you!

[Little Rebel]

ooc; @1989 lol sounds great! Adaira and Kai seem like they would get along well. Just heads up if you didn't know already, everybody thinks Kaison is a boy lol. She never takes her hood off and she tells everyone she is a boy.

[1989;]

ooc: @tiny cat ahh, thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I only had time to skin Kai's form, so I was a bit confused but I'll go back and read it more thoroughly now. c: I'm sure it wouldn't make any difference to Adaira what Kai's gender was so long as they listened to what Adaira tells them lol
