New World On Wings - Dragons x Rider

The year is 2790, and the world is nothing like it was before. People of the past feared of the future, feared of the world's end. That a large meteorite would crash into the earth, and end them just like it ended the dinosaurs. Or that the sun would creep closer and closer to our planet, and eventually burn it. Or even that global warming would take it's step, make the world too hot for water to stay solid in places like Antarctica and the world would flood, remaining very little or no land to live on.
But no, none of that has happened. Some of the predictions of course, came true. For example, all the fossil fuels such as coal, peat and oil has ran out and the world depends on renewable energy such as solar. But that's not the main change.

The world is taken over by dragons.

A group of scientist have gathered all their new equipment and went to explore some of the most mysterious places on earth. They have found something extraordinary; wolves and tigers the size of horses, horses with wings or with horns in their foreheads, and most importantly, dragon eggs, that have been sleeping for centuries.
Shortly after, the dragons have hatched and now they inhabit the whole globe. Over years we learned how to communicate with them, how to earn their trust and how to ride them. The Electronic Era has finished, it's now a whole new era.

The Dragon Rider Era.

But the world didn't stop there, after a few more years, humans have dug deeper and deeper into the earth's crust, and explored more and more of the oceans and the land. The didn't only find animals that were thought only to be alive in fairy tales, but they also found people. But no ordinary people; people with wings whom we call fairies, people with pointed ears whom we call elves, and many more.

Fashion has taken a big change, no one was interesting in manufactured materials and jewelry. Now, everyone prefers to were clothes hand made out of leather and similar materials. Jewelry consists of real gems and precious stones, or beads. Houses are now more similar to huts, and technology is no longer popular amongst these people, as money is very rare and most people grow their own food. People have broken down into villages and tribes, because cities are too polluted with gases and radioactivity.

ＲＯＬＥＰＬＡＹ ＲＵＬＥＳ

1. Of course, all site rules apply.
2. It is up to you if you want to make a person already with a dragon, or without one. Though I did mention large wolves, tigers and other creatures, but I do not want to turn this into a pegasus roleplay, or a large wolf roleplay. This is a dragon rider roleplay and please stick to it.
3. Before making any major drama, PM me and ask me.
4. No Power playing or God Modding.
5. These people are tribe people, there don't have iPhones, jeans, etc. they may have homemade dresses and stuff like that. Since this is set in the future, acknowledgement of such fashion from the characters is acceptable but they see it as strange and unfamiliar.
6. Dragons are intelligent creatures, probably even more intelligent than humans. So, they can speak human language. But, if you have just captured a wild dragon, they might not be able to speak fluently, and will learn over time.
7. All levels of literacy welcome.
8. All sexualities welcome.
9. Please post forms and talk OOC in our discussion thread!

ＴＲＩＢＥ ＲＵＬＥＳ

1. Obey and respect those that are a higher rank than you.
2. No stealing.
3. No selling of fraud items, broken items or rotten or bad food.
4. Outsiders are to be brought to the tribe leader immediately. Do not befriend, they may be dangerous.
5. Only salesmen can purchase from the hunters. Do not buy from the hunters in hope of getting a better price.
6. Public violence, hate or murder of another person or dragon is unacceptable.

ＯＵＲ ＶＩＬＬＡＧＥ

Our world is very different now, the dragons changed it all. Our villages and tribes don't have he jobs they used to have, like a chemist or a lawyer. Different jobs have replaced those as they are not needed anymore. All of the dragon owners do use their dragons to help them complete their work. Jobs that are available now are:


• Leader: the leader ensures that the village runs smoothly. They have the power to change anything (raise prices, change punishments for breaking the law, etc) and are respected greatly by the people and dragons. They are in charge of the running of the guards. Everything is discussed with him first before put to action.
  
  
• Hunters: these hunt and gather for the tribe to provide them with food. Their catch is usually sold to salesmen or butchers who own shops and then sells the produce to the village.
  
  
• Guards: the guards' job is to patrol the area of the village (both inside and outside) to catch any trespassers or thieves. Once arrested they are brought to the leader who decides their faith. They have a high status, their leader is the lieutenant.
  
  
• Medics: these people have knowledge of the healing properties of certain herbs and plants. There are usually only a few of these in a village because most people give up their study due to the large course. For this reason they are seen as very intelligent and determined.
  
  
• Craftsmen: Usually craftsmen specialise in a certain subject, such as jewelry making, clothes making, carpentry, etc. They could have their own shop or work for someone else, their profit comes from the items that they sell. Usually there is a great demand for handmade objects, so craftsmen always have their hands full.
  
  
• Cooks/Butchers/Food Works:These people are in charge of feeding the people of the village. Usually they would purchase the raw food from hunters or grow it themselves. They then either prepare the food or sell it raw to the villagers. They usually have shops such as bakeries, butchers, or even restaurants.
  
  
• Apprentices: These are young people who wish to master a certain skill in order to get a job in that area. Their mentors are usually someone who already works in that desired area. Usually the rider would mentor the person while the dragon would mentor the dragon.
  
  ---------
  
• Loners: These can be either people or dragons. They simily do not belong to the tribe and live alone in the wilderness. Lone dragons are usually caught by the tribes people, but lone people are more suspicious and not easily accepted or trusted if they join.
  
  
• Outcasts: These are the ones that have commited a great crime and have been banished from the village forever.

• Houses- building houses out of bricks and cement turned way too expensive, so now everyone lives in simple huts made of straw and logs.
  
  
  
• Leader's House - this is the only treehouse. This way the leader's house stands out from the rest.
  
  
• Enclosure - All of the owned dragons are allowed to roam freely. However if their owner, or them, are caught doing something against the law of the village, they may be placed here until the leader decides what to do with them. The rider does not go here with them.
  
  
• Prison Cell - This is where the rider goes if they are caught doing a crime. They are kept here until the leader decides their fate. The cave is closed in at all sides so the person cannot escape, and a member of the guards usually is appointed to watch from the outside.
  
  
• Hatchery - this is where eggs are kept and looked after by the mother dragon, hatchlings stay here in safety until they are old enough to leave.

ＴＹＰＥＳ ＯＦ ＤＲＡＧＯＮＳ
these are not all, but some. I just thought that maybe this would help people get a bit more creative with the dragons they choose c;

• European Dragon
  probably the most common dragon. These have four legs and two wings, and are very skillful flyers. They have a lust for valuables such as gold and gems.
  
  
  
• Wyvern
  Slightly less common but still out there, wyverns have two wings and only two legs. Despite of only having two legs, these dragons are usually stronger and can carry bigger weights.
  
  
• Wingless Runners-
  despite their inability to fly, they are still very powerful. They are the fastest and swiftest on land, and usually phyically stronger to make up for the lack of wings, therefore perfect hunters and fighters.
  
  
• Wingless Gliders - even though these dragons do not have wings, they have long slender bodies which allows them to use the air to glide across the sky regardless of the absence of wings. These are usually quieter and have greater stealth.[/size]

ＥＬＥＭＥＮＴＳ
Dragons can only have one elements each.

• Fire - Along with the ability to breathe fire, these dragons can also cause fires by will by just stepping on soil. They can manipulate and control it, as well as put it out if needed.
  
  
• Water - The only dragons that have gills, meaning they can breathe underwater and can stay there for long periods of time is necessary. However they also have lungs so they can breathe and live outside water comfortably. They have the ability to manipulate water and cause it to seep out of their scales.
  
  
• Air - These dragons are fantastic flyers, usually the most swift and agile in the air. They can manipulate the air to cause strong blasts of winds to go a certain direction, used as a weapon.
  
  
• Earth - This related to the soil and rocks rather that plant life. These dragons are able to feel vibratings through the soil to tell if enemies or prey are close. They can easily break stone or use the earth as a defense by manipulating its shape, causing the opponent to lose their balance or even get engulfed by the ground.
  
  
• Nature - Usually very peaceful dragons, they help a lot with the gardening in the village by helping the plants grow. These dragons have the ability to manipulate the growth of plant life, as well as bring plants back to life or cause them to grow quicker or slower.
  
  
• Dark - often very stealthy and quiet, but also mysterious and mischievous, these dragons have the ability to blend in with the dark, cause unnatural shadows, and have a great liking towards the night and dark places such as old caves. They are usually nocturnal and are drowsy throughout the day, but energetic during the night.
  
  
• Light - these are the opposite of dark dragons. They have the ability to cause light, for example in the form of a light orb. They are very useful for night expositions. Some, but not all dragons, also have the ability to control lightening. However this is rare and most associated with the weather dragons.
  
  
• Psychic - These dragons have the ability to manipulate your mind. They can make you forget or remember something, cause confusion as well as read your mind. Some dragons can use this power for unwanted things; causing fear, panic and insanity to others. However, some use for good, helping people feel happy, excited and motivated.
  
  
• Weather - Similar to air and light dragons, these dragons can change the weather or manipulate the existing natural weather. They can start or stop rain, cause clouds to disappear, or even cause tornadoes, hurricanes, or tsunamis.

ᴛʜᴀᴏʟᴀ
x the leader x female x dragon: goliath x tags: open
Thaola sat at a wooden desk in her treehouse, looking down at a hand drawn map of her area. She looked over the forests and streams, marking little x's on the map with red ink. Once she was done, she picked it up and rolled it up into a scroll, tying it with a ribbon. She looked outside her window and pulled out a hollow horn, blowing into it which sounded a loud, low pitched noise around the village: a sign for all guards and the lieutenant to meet her. It was that time in the morning she gave them a basic idea of the jobs she wants done, though it was the lieutenant who was really in charge of carrying it all out. She simply gave the instructions and expected them done in the next few days.

ɢᴏʟɪᴀᴛʜ
x the leader's dragon x male x owner: thaola x tags: open
Goliath lay curled around the tree and the staircase which lead up to his owners house, his neck high and alert. He acted as a guard to her house when she was in there and pretty much everywhere she went, aware of her importance as leader. But that didn't really matter to Goliath, he would look after Thaola just as much even if she was a normal village dweller. He eyed each person that passed through, acting protective. As he heard Thaola sound the horn, he knew she would be expecting visitors, so he looked out for the guards that would be making their way to her house soon.

ᴇᴍʙᴇʀ
x the craftswoman x female x dragon: gaia x tags: open
Ember was looking into the entrance of what looked like an endless cave. The inside was dark and damp, and seemed to go on forever. She glanced back at her dragon, Gaia, who was next to her and eyeing the cave too. Looking back, she took a deep breath, she has done this many times before. She took a few small steps in, the cold stone numbing her bare feet. Gaia followed her owner, but also watched the entrance to ensure that no one sneaks up on them. This was standard for Ember and Gaia, they would venture into caves and systems in search of precious metals and jewels, which could later be turned into jewelry. Though it was technically against the village law to search for your materials if you're not a trained professional, Ember is too impatient to wait.

ɢᴀɪᴀ
x the craftswoman's dragon x female x owner: ember x tags: open
Gaia watched as her owner ventured into the deep cave, she eyed her carefully, watching her every step. She had her ears listening out to any strange noises, a bear could live in this cave after all. Occasionally, she would gently huff some gentle flames out of her nostrils to lighten up the area, later making a torch for Ember from a branch she found laying on the cave floor. She waited for Ember to signal her to dig down into the ground, deep enough to find the jewels they were after.

ᴅʏʀᴇᴜs
x loner x male x owner: none x tags: open
Dyreus lay asleep in a small burrow that he has dug himself a few night ago. It was dusty and dirty, but it was better than no shelter at all. It helped him keep warm and out of the rain at night. He watched the entrance with his pale eyes, wondering if he should exit. He wasn't particularly hungry, or really had the muse to do anything, so stayed and decided to purely be lazy. Even if he did come out, the village patrols would try to drive him away, so remaining hidden seemed like the best bet.

Peering through the vines covering the entrance of her home, Aveline listened to the sound of the alarm that signaled her to visit the leader for orders. "ώε hαṿε τø ģø, øɾρhευṡ." she sighed, speaking in the native tongue of the dragons. She only spoke it when talking to Orpheus, because she had just begun learning a few weeks ago and didn't want to embarrass herself. She stood and made her way through the forest path to the village, eventually stopping in front of Thaola's tree, Orpheus trailing after.

Orpheus lumbered after Aveline protectively. He narrowed his eyes at every little noise within the woods, and froze as he heard a thump a little ways away. Aveline left without him, and he shook his head, trotting after her. They made it to Thaola's treehouse and nodded his head in greeting to Goliath, who lay curled around the base of the tree.

Feeling - Tired
Location - His cave home
Tags - Syrenn / Open

Cynric was the first if the thieving duo to awaken. His large, feathered dragoness sleeping on a larger stone slab, the fire he made last night was dying, but still burning. It gave them light within the dark depths and warmth in the coldness. Prodding the fire with a stick nearby, he attempted to rekindle the dying flame with his breath, and luckily succeeded.

The rogue male looked at the dully lit surroundings - Various gems for his dragoness lay across her plinth, barrels of stolen food, mostly meats and apples, taken from villages and traders. The low hanging roof of the cave had scattered stalactites, formed due to the running stream through the back of the darkened space. It provided fresh water for the duo, and Cynric didn't see a need to leave the cave any time soon. Hearing a noise to the side of him, the blonde male looked towards his stirring dragoness.

Syrenn
Feeling - Tired
Location - Her cave home
Tags - Cynric / Open

The feathered dragoness cracked her eyes open, resting her eyes on her rider, and the fire. Lifting her head, she let out a mighty yawn, giving Cynric a grim reminder that her fangs did indeed hurt. The dusky female rose from her plinth, stalking down towards the fire, and stretching her limbs out. The sudden movement caused the flames to flicker, almost taking them out.

With one final yawn, the psychic dragon made herself comfortable by the fire, the silence only now being disrupted with the rushing of the stream in their home. The dragoness watched the entrance to the small cave, just waiting for Cynric to give the order to fly.
