[broner]

Lady Solstice was the black sheep of the family, which was ironic, considering she was the only member whose scales weren't black. So cold, so calculating, so wrong was she that her mere presence caused many dragons to shiver. A dangerous hybrid of sand, rain, and the royal blood of night, Lady Solstice certainly was unnerving, her eyes glinting hungrily at her relatives whenever they dared pass by.

It was less than shocking that she wished to seize power from the family that had raised her. When she awoke on her twentieth birthday, she was given a divine gift: the plague which allowed her to rise to the station of practicing queen of the NightWings.

The continent shuddered as Queen Solstice declared war and blazed through the RainWings and SandWings, claiming the united crown of the Kingdom of Solstice. Her birthright had at last fallen at her feet.

An uncanny group of common mercenaries were approached by the final remaining member of the NightWing royal family, grievously ill and wounded beyond hope. He begged that they find and assassinate Queen Solstice before it was too late, offering all the gold they could want and--to the surprise and delight of the dragons--a collection of animus-touched objects that had been safekept in the NightWing royal treasury for decades.

Clinging to their charms, the mercenaries made the long journey towards their fate. The siege of the Solstice Palace begins.

[broner]

| Username: broner
| Name: Solstice
| Gender: female
| Age: 25
| Species: Night/Sand/Rain
| Rank: Queen of the United Kingdom of Solstice
| Appearance (if no image): -
| Personality: calculating, cold, and cruel. being ostracized by those in her life has taught her to rely only on herself; even her retainers are viewed with suspicion. her whole life has been spent waiting for her opportunity to strike, and now that she has claimed her throne, she looks to those tribes she hasn't yet conquered, prowling until the moment arises.
| History (optional): she grew up ostracized and hated by her NightWing family. her father, a minor prince, had an affair with a hybrid, resulting in Solstice's birth. her ascent was met with much speculation, considering the uncanny timing and Solstice's seeming immunity to the plague.
| Other: on the surface, it would seem that Solstice inherited nothing from her RainWing grandmother. her scales cannot change, and there isn't a lazy, pacifistic bone in her body. she discovered her venom-spitting as an adult, and has kept it a closely-guarded secret ever since. she was not born on a full moon. her tail barb is underdeveloped but still somewhat functional. the most terrifying part of her is not her hulking size, but her cunning mind.

| Username: broner
| Name: Rift
| Gender: male
| Age: 15
| Species: SeaWing
| Rank: mercenary (main heist)
| Appearance (if no image):
| Personality: a personable guy. does not like authority. he loves fighting for sport and playing rough with his pals, but is definitely not up for a debate. super loyal to his buds. functions better in a group, but can take care of himself just fine.
| History (optional): his dad pissed off the royal family so they gave him hell. when he had rift, he moved to the sand kingdom. rift was trained as a mercenary from a young age and took over the company when his dad passed away. not much of a leader, he conceded to quit trying to boss everyone around and remain leader in name only.
| Other: very stocky and strong, and a good and hard worker. he can make a snap decision in a fight but isn't clever enough to talk his way out of a situation. he'd rather make it a brawl.
his strength amplifier functions to make him a little stronger than the average dragon, especially for his size. he can handle a little more exertion than normal and can easily pick up large boulders with a little concentration. the caveat to this is that because he isn't used to his strength, he can be very clumsy, causing accidental damage to things and people occasionally, as well as his normal relative slowness being a little more prominent.

[AGGUA!]

| Username: AGGUA!
| Name: Mamba
| Gender: Female
| Age: 14
| Species: RainWing
| Rank: Mercenary (heist)
| Appearance (if no image): I WILL DRAW HER WHEN I HAVE TIME but for right now her usual coloring looks a lot like this. Obviously being a RainWing this can change, but she prefers to stick to dark greens/blacks. Her scales have an iridescent/shimmery/glossy quality about them, but her coloring isn't particularly bright since she doesn't spend much time napping in the sun. She's very thin and lithe, and her tail tapers into a whip almost like an IceWing's. Her limbs are long but she doesn't have much muscle for fighting, instead possessing contortionist-like flexibility that allows her to get into places that even other RainWings typically can't. Her frill is disproportionately large, and she'll flare it up during large hypnosis displays. Kinda looks like a dilophosaur honestly. Her claws are long just like the rest of her, and her primary venom-spitting fangs are super large to match. When not using hypnosis, her main eye color is dark enough that I'll just classify it as black. She's got skyfire embedded in small diamond shapes at the corners of her eyes because no way in hell is she letting anybody get in her head.
| Personality: Mamba can be rather blunt and may seem apathetic. She's pretty cold and brutally honest and will tell things like it is without much regard for the feelings of those involved. Stoic and unyielding, it's really hard to get a read on what she's thinking and feeling, and she comes off as emotionless. She's definitely a brick wall and keeps her guard up--if you're the empath, don't try and get a read on her without her consent or she WILL bite. Mamba's more independent and looks out for number one first, but she isn't resentful of the rest of the mercenaries by any means and will help when possible. She just flies more solo and isn't the best at teamwork. Though blunt, she's a smooth talker when she wants to be, especially when using hypnosis. Mamba's earned a bit of a manipulative reputation about her since it can get difficult to tell if your thoughts are your own or if she's hypnotizing you into thinking or feeling a certain way when you're around her. This causes a lot of trust issues with others. You can quite literally "get lost in her eyes" so to speak, sort of like a siren. She's smart and cunning and will assess situations rather than diving into them head-first, preferring to weasel her way out of fights with a sharp tongue rather than physical brawn. She isn't great at first impressions and she's scared a lot of people off this way, carrying a sort of eeriness about her. Not sinister, but you definitely get the sense that something is off about her, and she's alienated herself from RainWings as a result. It's hard to get big emotional reactions out of her. She's alert, observant, and quick-witted, so don't call her lazy or, again, she WILL bite.
| History (optional): I'll keep it a secret for now. But Solstice DID seize control of the Rain kingdom sooooo keep that in mind.
| Other: Mamba's eyes/scales shift colors in disorienting patterns when using hypnosis. The degree of color change varies depending on how thoroughly she wants to control somebody, ranging from a huge display to subtle shifts. The iridescence of her scales/glittering of her eyes doesn't help with focus and a lot of victims end up going woozy/their brain gets cloudy. Some have no recollection of events after they've snapped out of it. It can be hard to tell if she's using her abilities or if your eyes are playing tricks on you when her scales/eyes appear to change. Using hypnosis in small increments doesn't do much but after large things such as controlling entire dragons Mamba will get migraines/dizzy/drowsy and she'll need time to recover.

| Username: AGGUA!
| Name: Reaper
| Gender: Male
| Age: 17
| Species: Night/Ice/Sand
| Rank: Hired Hand
| Appearance (if no image): Above. Black scales, IceWing spines, stars on his wings (as well as scattered along the rest of his body, probably something to do with IceWing genes), SandWing barb, cobalt blue eyes. He's got a skyfire necklace as well as a concealed satchel for weapons and such like knives and whatnot. Some small scars littered along his body too and he's overall very big and very muscled.
| Personality: Grumpiest little asshat you'll ever meet, with a pretty bad temper. He talks a big game with threats even if he doesn't always carry out on them, but he IS buff and not above fighting/killing. Reaper will get his hands dirty if a job needs finishing, but he'll attempt to stick to task and won't go out of his way to rack up a body count unless you leave him no choice. Other than that, he has loose morals.
| History (optional): Mother and father issues, both killed by the Solstice. After that he ended up jailed and set to be executed in her prisons. Though he was supposed to be shipped off on death row, he was permitted to keep his life if he took on some of the empire's dirty work. From then on out he became one of Solstice's lapdogs. But his loyalty ultimately doesn't lie with her and he bears a lot of hatred towards her kingdom for what they did to his family, working mainly towards the promise of buying his way out of the empire.
| Other: No NightWing abilities, though he has a fully functioning barb and some weak frostbreath. As in, not fatal when blown at scales and it'll probably melt off ten minutes later with some minor damage. Nothing that would scar. Though it might kill you if enough is blown down your throat but like I said, it's weak.

[Siciatres]

|Username: Siciatres
| Name: Arroyo
| Gender: Male
| Age: 16
| Species: SandWing
| Sexuality: Pansexual
| Rank: Mercenary (Main Heist)
| Voice Claim: Here

| Appearance (if no image): I’m working on a drawing, he has pale golden scales with small diamond markings along a row of scales on his neck. This is a general description, I’ll have more details in the drawing.

| Personality: Due to his self-reliance, Arroyo is usually reserved and stoic. He was never one to open up about his feelings, though he sometimes wishes he could share his emotions during a hard day. Arroyo rarely asks for help, fearing he’ll seem weak or needy. Interestingly enough, he enjoys helping others instead.

Aside from his quiet demeanor, Arroyo loves to have fun. He hides this side of himself to not seem childish, but he truly enjoys a good job roll in the sand. Additionally, Arroyo has a love for plants, stemming from a book his mothers had brought with them from a mission.


| History (optional): Arroyo was raised by two female SandWings, Yucca and Caracal, who stole his egg shortly before he hatched. His mothers ran a business thieving; for a hefty fee, any item you could want would be yours, and naturally he was trained to help run the business. As the years passed, Arroyo became self-sufficient enough to steal by himself but left the more complex missions to his mothers.

Not all missions were successful, however. Shortly before Queen Solstice’s uprising, Arroyo’s mothers received a request to steal from a particularly wealthy SandWing. He thought nothing of it as they’ve stolen from him before, but only his mother Caracal came home, missing her left foreleg. Apparently the rich SandWing had been plotting to catch the pair, but only managed to detain Yucca. Missions became few and far between after Queen Solstice took hold of the SandWing Kingdom- nobody dared test the waters under her rule. Desperate to find Yucca, Arroyo became a mercenary, seeking any information he could find.


| Other: His mirage charm is in the shape of a sun. It works best when exposed to direct sunlight, as it is powered primarily from sun rays. During the night, or in a dark area, the charm may be used at the expense of the user’s energy. If too much energy is expended, the user will fall unconscious and sleep until enough energy is regained.
