.:World on the other side of ours:.Literate dragon role play

[silver steel dragunn]

The OOC board is located Here.

In a way, you can say "once upon a time," but that wouldn't set this story's mood right... What about "Our story starts out...?" no... I do believe we should find another way to start our fairy tale... Something simplistic, yet profound... Ah, yes... I do believe I have it now! Sit close, children, and listen to the story I have to tell you today. It's very long, so I hope you brought snacks! Are you comfy, then? Very good.

Long, long ago, years before the World Wars, the Great Depression, or any catastrophic events we now know today, dragons walked amongst men. In case you were wondering, yes; this is what we call the "Middle Ages." Knights, dragons, princesses and all that! When heroes went to slay beasts for their head to mount on the wall, and for a name they could keep for as long as they wore their armor and kept their sword sharp. Yes, this was a time where heroes took the glory, and when gold and silver had a great market value.
The dragons lived among the people for this time period, sharing their wisdom and treasures with the welcoming humans. They co-existed in a dragon-rider type civilization; symbolic, really. The farmers provided easy meals for the weary dragons, whilst the dragons gave them the riches they needed to survive. With the dragons around providing treasures and whatnot, this was a prosperous time for both the humans and the dragons!
Crops grew, cattle flourished, crime was low, and there were feasts for everyone! Even the poor! Everyone could see that the dragons were wealthy additions to the human's economy. The world was peaceful with the guidance of the dragons, and the only reason for this was the treaty the humans and dragons had signed. The dragons would stay and help the humans, just so long as their "heroes" never killed or harmed a dragon.
This treaty lasted for years... But of course as life is, someone broke it. A farmer had killed a young dragon, claiming it had stolen it's sheep without offering any type pay for it. Enraged, the dragons charged the man with unnecessary murder. The dragon was just a chick! It could hardly fly, what with those puny wings! But the farmer persisted, and even convinced most of his village that the chick's parents convinced it to steal. However, these charges did not stand. But, the parents who were still grieving their lost child, went to the king's home, and stole his single daughter to seek revenge. By natural impulse, the kingdom's knights went to get the princess back, but were only half successful.
With a chick lost and a princess gone, both the humans and the dragons were enraged at each other. Arguments ensued, which nearly lead to war! The other mythical beasts around, such as Griffins, decided to stay as far away from this war as possible. Sick of the selfish humans, the dragons departed from their village homes and took refuge in the mountains to avoid war. However, war came. So-called heroes came from other continents to slay the massive beasts. Dragons retaliated by taking cattle and burning crops... Along with other gruesome things.
The dragon population began to diminish, and the beasts knew it. Gathering up to the largest mountain peak they could find, the dragons and their fellow mythical beasts created a rift in the sky; a portal to another world. Fleeing through it, the present dragons left the human world, not caring if they left any of their kind behind--let the human lovers perish. The rift closed, never to be opened again.
As the rift sealed, two orbs were created-one in the human world, and the other in the dragon world. These two orbs, both called the Anklar, are shrouded in mystery. When the dragons found theirs, they naturally gave it to their most trusted dragon to protect it. When the humans found it years later, however, they put it into a museum for all to see. Obviously everyone can see the difference between the mythical beasts and the humans. Neither race knows it's purpose, or it's actual worth.
After the dragons left, the humans eventually forgot that they were even there, for the world had become so... Quiet. So dim without the dragon's shimmering scales around them. Even though dragons were spoken of, these true stories soon became legend... Which slowly evaporated into nothing but a simple tale. So, in a sense, it was like the dragons had never come to the human world. It was like they never existed. The only proof of these mythical beasts is the Anklar... But no one realizes it.
In truth, the Anklar are both links to the other world. Through the Anklar, a dragon could travel to the human world, or a human to the dragon world. However, this has not yet been discovered, and is probably still a secret to even the greatest of scholars. How do I know? Well, maybe you'll find it out for yourself. Why don't you go visit the New York Historical Society museum? I've heard they moved the Anklar there for a few days... You may learn something new. Or... You could make a ground-breaking discovery. Whatever you do, however, make an adventure out of it!

[silver steel dragunn]

☸Our story takes place in the year 2009, years after the Middle Ages as an obvious aspect. For the human characters, they will all start in New York, United States of America. They are all able to make their way to the New York Historical Society museum, where the Anklar will be for a temporary time. There, people will be able to learn more about when the Anklar was found, and what time scholars assume it was from.

☸The Anklar was found by one of Mount Everest's early expeditions. This relic passes from museum to museum, and is slowly making it's way around the world. For a week or so, it will rest in The New York Historical Society, where people can learn theories of it's origin.
In the dragon world, the Anklar is passed from dragon to dragon, and is currently in the possession of the beautiful sea-serpent, Melusine. While the Dragon Elders decide on the Anklar's next protector, she will keep a hold of it, and protect it in her undersea cavern.

☸The Anklar is a portal between the dragon world and the human world. If a person comes in contact with the Anklar, wishing to visit another world, they shall find themselves there. First, the humans shall travel to the dragon world. Then, as the dragons discover this, they shall travel to the human world.

☸There will be attempts at stealing the Anklar for they both seem to have more power than what it seems. Such characters will act as "villains" for our story, for they wish to have domination over the human world, or the dragon world. The dragons want the human world to avenge the loss of their ancestors, and the humans wish to expand their territory, as they usually do.

Otherwise, everything is up to you. Have fun and role play!

Any further questions may be directed towards Silver Steel Dragunn.

[silver steel dragunn]

Rules and regulations are obviously a must. These rules will be placed out in a different way, in paragraphs, instead of individual rules. I ask that you please read each of these carefully.

ⅰ. As a whole
✔Of course, everyone must follow the Gaia Rules and TOS. That would definitely be an obvious. I, Silver Steel Dragunn, am the leader. So, I request that you respect me as such, and follow my say. With this status, I am capable of changing the rules at will. I will keep all members noted when I changed them, that way, all can stay updated. This here is a long term role play. This means that once you join, you are expected to post. And don't just post once and leave; it wastes everyone's time and effort. I also ask that you post frequently, posting once or twice a week. The only exception for this is if you have nothing to post with. If you are taking a leave, or have an incapability to get online, please tell us! We absolutely need to know! Also, if you wish to quit, let me know, and figure out some way to get rid of your character, or characters. If the person your character is interacting with takes their own leave, try to find someone else to communicate with. Oh yes. Please do not post on this role play if you are not a member, or if you have no business here! Go to the OOC, or just leave if you never intend to join.
This is also NOT an anime crossover. I dont' want any characters from any anime, video games or books. End of story.

ⅱ. Relationships
✔I do not mind having relationships in this role play. However, do not take it too far! Kissing, hugging and holding hands are all fine, but please, for everyone's sanity, don't eat each other's faces! If you don't mind, keep it all PG, so keep it fairly... clean, if you would. Also, absolutely NO same gender couples. I. Don't. Care. I do not wish to see such behavior here. Also, please don't make couples that just wouldn't work, such as a dragon loving a human... It's just silly. Any further questions shall be forwarded to me.

ⅲ. Battles
✔Of course, being a role play based upon dragons, there will be fights. Weather it be between two people or against monsters, there will be an assortment of battles. However, I would rather you not kill someone else's character, unless you have permission from me and that person to do so. Keep it at around PG-13, for I would rather not have to deal with massacre. Of course, there will be no God-Modding or Power play, for it makes things unfair, and everyone else will start to do that. Then, things will be uncreative and no fun, and nobody wants that to happen. Also keep in mind that the humans are just... Humans. They don't know magic, and can't do anything... Magical.

ⅳ. Posting and literacy
✔As far as posting goes, I really don't care what your post looks like. I would like to see pretty posting formats, with a picture of your character and a quote here or there, but I am definitely not requiring them. So, don't worry. If you do make a format, make sure all of the pictures are appropriate. Keep your posts at a decent length, I would rather not see any one-liners. They take up space, and give a lack of interaction to work with. I understand if you have writer's block, we all get it. So please, do us all a favor and post things we can work with.
As far as literacy, this is very much a literate role play. I don't expect you to write a novel per post, but please make each post a decent length, a few paragraphs, unless you are given very very little to work with. I expect to see proper English, no Engrish or Wapenese as an obvious. As well as this, no chat-speak, or text talk--whatever it is you people like to use. Describe your actions as well as you possibly can. I don't want to see anything like *Runs away from dragon*. It's really annoying, and brings our literacy standard down.
Please oh please keep OOC to a minimal! We will have an OOC thread, in of which we can talk on to our heart's content. If you have something very important to say, post it on both. And no posting complete OOC on the role play. Take it to the OOC thread, for I dislike seeing posts with just OOC on the wrong thread.

ⅴ. Joining
✔If you intend to join, first send me a posting example to show me your role playing abilities. It not only proves your literacy, but also that you can handle whatever character you wish to use. Title the PM with "Wings that cast shadows.", and if It is not titled with that, I will not accept your post.
After sending your accepted post, fill out the profile below in full, cleaning it up and adding your own colors to it. Send it to me, and only me, with the title, "Flight of mystery."
If you do not send me your posting example first with it's title, I will decline. If you don't send it to me at all, I will decline you at full. If you do not send the profile with the mentioned title, I will also decline you. If you send me the profile without me first accepting your post, I will decline! No exceptions, besides to those who are already in the role play. I have to be hard on this, or else this role play could very well fall apart.

[silver steel dragunn]

Profiles and the like!



Fill out these profiles accordingly, replacing the "Subcolor#" and "Color#" with the colors of your choice. Fill everything out, and make sure you leave nothing blank. Images are absolutely required, no descriptions can be used for this profile format. Also keep in mind that this should be written in first person, so it seems like the dragon is answering all of the questions.

Profiles will all be posted on the OOC thread for better organization.

~Our story so far~

This is where the story shall go. It will hopefully be updated regularly, to keep everyone updated, especially those who wish to join. If It is not up to date, I dearly apologize.

So, our story starts out with Melusine, the Sea-serpent, being presendted with the responsibility of protecting the precious stone, the Anklar. She returns to her undersea castle, only to be disrupted by a sudden oncoming storm. As she checks her castle's windows for pressure changes, she suddenly receives a mental message of warning from a dragon named Sage. Enraged, Melusine tries to shake this off, and quickly returns to her study.
Meanwhile, in the human world, a young girl named Aeolus prepares herself for a big day of learning about mysterious things that are being held at her nearby museum-particularily a mysterious stone called the Anklar. Excited, she roller blades her way to the museum, and listens intently to the young man explaining the mystery of the large stone. She soon finds that this is no ordinary stone as a young child asks why there was electricity flowing through it. Soon, she too realized that the electricity was there-but why? The young man seemed angered with this question and dismissed it.
When the explanation was over, Aeolus did something quite daring-she lifted the stone from it's perch. Enraged, the young man, reveald to be named Roland, and to be from Brooklyn, took it back. The two had a spitfire argument, and soon.. Found themselves in a completely different world...
An undersea palace.
Frightned and confused, the two hid out in a book shelf, and watched as two dragons entered the room-Sage and Melusine. The humans were soon found out, and feared being eaten. However, these two dragons were not of that type. Quite the contrary-they seemed interested in the humans. They were quite hospitible. After getting aquainted, the four decided to fetch some lunch-and so they headed for the surface, and to Sage's cave.
There, they began to prepare hamburgurs.

☾Melusine's head broke the surface of the still water inside of her underwater sea castle. Diving back under, she gained some momentum before leaping out of the water, and onto the cold, blue-grey stone that made up the damp palace. Wrapped tightly in her tail was the Anklar, the mysterious gem entrusted to her until they determined a better host. Melusine slithered across the cold stone much like a snake, and reached her study. All along the walls were books of all kinds, all made to be water proof for sea dragon use. On her desk was an open Bible, which she had been studying.

Melusine placed the Anklar on a satin pillow just beside the desk. Her aqua green eyes watched the smooth, crystal-like surface of the Anklar, the electricity inside pulsating lazily. Heaving a simple sigh, the sea dragon slithered off for the kitchen. She was rather hungry, and didn't want to risk breaking the Anklar whilst hunting for a fresh meal. As she passed through her lonely halls, Melusine began to think of her love, Cristaro. They were indeed married, but they could not live with one another; Cristaro's home was too far inland for Melusine to survive... And Melusine lived underwater, and despite her air-filled castle, the Crystal dragon just could not make it to her palace.

Melusine found a pike in her ice box, which was getting terribly low on food. "I simply must go out and hunt." the dragon said to herself before picking it up in her jaw. The only problem with being a sea serpent was that she had no limbs-no hands to pick up her or anything for that matter. She had to lift things with her mouth, or her tail... Which was terribly difficult, what with the large fin at the end of it.

With another sigh, Melusine returned to her study. Instead of reading her Bible, she couldn't help but search her shelves for any books on the history of the Anklar, or anything that may lead to it's origin. She placed the pike on her desk, being sure to not place it near her papers or anything, and began her search.

The castle belonged to her great uncle who had somehow taken a great liking towards her. Melusine never really knew him, other than that he had a vast knowledge. This was reasonable, considering that he had such a vast library... Melusine wished that she had known him before he had passed... She would have loved to hear the tales he would have to share... Hear all of the adventures he had gone on to receive all of his books.

So, Melusine searched for any book related to the Anklar. Not a very interesting way to spend a day, she knew. But, Melusine had to do some research for this mysterious orb... She wanted to be the first to crack it's mystery wide open.☽

I am the protector of the Anklar. Dare you try my power?

My love is the marvelous Cristaro the Crystal dragon.

I shall not be blinded by my own greed... At least I hope not.

So I said, I'm a snowball running. Running down into the spring that's coming -

A disgruntled moan escaped Aeolus's lips as the sun streamed through the curtains covering her window. She threw her arm over her eyes carelessly, whacking herself unnecessarily hard. She groaned and rolled over, allowing her leg and arm to dangle over the edge of her bed. Her toe skimmed the floor and she soon crumpled over the edge gradually, finding herself in a similar position as before - just on the floor instead of the bed. One would think this would be obnoxious that early in the morning. Except for two things. One; it wasn't early at all, it was noon. Two; this was how Aeolus woke every morning.

She heard vague calling from the kitchen down the hall, but she was far too sleepy to comprehend. She picked herself off the floor groggily and made her way, slowly, down to the bathroom. It didn't take very long to go through the process of readying herself in the bathroom and tugging her oddly colored curls into a loose pony. And soon enough, a splash of water was enough to wake her up. She returned to her room only to walk straight into her calendar. Which reminded her immediately of what she was going to do that day - and how she was at least an hour late. "Ah! Shoot!" She fussed through her closet hurriedly, ripping out whatever clothing matched. She struggled to pull the gray tee-shirt over her head and hopped (quite literally) into her shorts. As soon as she had finished she slung her messenger bag over her shoulder and rushed into the living room, where her roller blades sat near the door.

She strapped them onto her feet and tugged on her black padding, paying no mind to her mother who sat reading the daily times and sipping her tea. "Don't get run over." Her mother called mildly, not watching as her daughter shot out the door on her blades. She turned down the hall and skidded to a halt in front of the elevator. She sat her hands on her hips impatiently, but she didn't have to wait very long at all, for the doors slid open shortly after she arrived. The elevator ride was rather awkward, as the old woman from two floors down was taking that way down to the lobby as well. So, maybe the elevator ride had seemed painfully slow. But soon enough she was skating her way through the lobby (much to the usual annoyance of the stuffy man at the check-in desk) and out the door. Free as a bird as she rolled her way down the streets, her destination being the New York Historical Society Museum.

All this love, melting under blue skies belting out sunlight shimmering love

Nature has a will all it's own...

A short flight from Melusine's castle, the sound of a waterfall could be heard as it poured over it's cliff into a small pool below. The rumble of a yawn could be heard as what looked like a piece of red and black rock started to move from the sunny side of the falls.

Sage stretched, yawned again, and shook himself to rid his mind of the after sleep haze. He wasn't all that sure what woke him up, but after throwing a small sensing spell out, he decided it must have been his stomach. With a flick of his tail he turned to face the nearby forest valley, and spotted what looked like a heard of deer traveling through a clearing. He examined them, and decided that he wasn't in the mood to tangle with the buck's antlers this late in the day. He carefully leaped from the cliff face, and started toward a deeper part of the forest at a leisurely pace.

Within an hour of taking off, he had found, caught, and eaten half a dozen of the small wild pigs that tended to swarm the area. He let out a contented belch, and then took to the air again. He could feel something on the wind that nagged at him. He banked wide to check the horizon, and noticed that a storm was beginning to form.

He snorted, and with a bit more urgency, headed toward his cave once more. He didn't know if any of the others were aware of the impending storm, but he already had a spell in mind. Once he returned to his study, he would attempt to contact any nearby dragons to warn them.

Eventually, you learn how to make it work for you.

☾Melusine managed to find one book entitled "The Mysterious Anklar", and gently pulled it out with her lips. She quickly moved back to her desk, moved her Bible, and placed it upon the table. The cover showed a simple image of the Anklar, illustrated by a dragon long-dead. Melusine could tell just by the artwork that it was an older book.

Melusine took a bite out of the pike, and pushed the book open with the tip of a fin on her tail. Without limbs, reader, it is terribly difficult to do many things. I'm sure that most of you don't know about this inconvinence. She leafed through the book in a similar way, her sea-green eyes watching the pages intently, waiting for something to pop. Eventually, something did. The first few chapters were about the adventurers who had stumbled upon it, naming off their abilities and all that. She would look into that later on.

The chapter she began to read was about how the adventurers had found it. The chapter had no name; it was a book too old to have such things, and was probably translated into so many languages that some words lost their meanings. Anyway, getting back to the subject, Melusine began to read the chapter.

Apparently, a griffin had found it, but the elders took credit for the discovery, and announced themselves as the four adventurers that had gone on an expedition to find it. One elder, however, did not support this claim, and warned the four about what powers that the mysterious crystal could hold. The four merely scoffed at the dragon's warnings, and continued to exploit it for their own personal profit.

Many dragons wanted to take the crystal, which had been named the Anklar, a name derived from the griffin who had found it. Whenever dragons gazed upon the electicity that pulsed within it, they grew greedy, and attempted to take it. One dragon managed to get to the Anklar, but the moment he had touched it, he... Vanished.

Looking up, Melusine suddenly sensed a storm coming by. Heaving a sigh, she left her study to check the windows for leaks. If a storm came by, her undersea castle could suffer some pressure changes, and she didn't want any of the windows to break due to the sudden change in pressure. If there were massive waves, that could mean trouble for her palace.☽

I am the protector of the Anklar. Dare you try my power?

My love is the marvelous Cristaro the Crystal dragon.

I shall not be blinded by my own greed... At least I hope not.

Nature has a will all it's own...

The closer Sage got to his home, the more unsettled he felt. He frowned to himself slightly as he shot through the waterfall to land in his cavern home. The air felt oppressive, and even the normally plesant waters of the falls felt.....Angry. Something was very wrong, and his instincts were telling him as such. With a shake of his head, he touched the tips of his fore claws together, and in the space between his leathery palms, a ball of dark energy formed.

A few whispered incantations, and he crushed the ball, making it spark. In a moment, he had found at least three dragon on shore, and warned them mentally to find cover. They didn't know who he was, but one didn't argue with such warnings. He sighed, and repeated the spell, only this time stronger. He found only one other dragon, but this one was underwater. He smiled to himself, he knew only a small bit of this one, but it was an important bit.

"Pardon my intrusion, but I felt it important to warn of the incoming storm. Something about it bodes ill. Might I offer assistance in reinforcing any of the spells that protect your home? he said to her over the simple telepathic link he had formed.

Eventually, you learn how to make it work for you.

☾Melusine bolted into an upright position upon hearing the telepathic message. She hissed, and questioned the being, "What? Who are you?" she assumed the intruder had used some sort of spell to reach her telepathically. Telepathic dragons were quite rare these days, and it even took them a lot of power to even contact her at such depths.

"Ah, the storm..." even her telepathic voice sounded very Russian, "I already knew of it. Although it feels rather powerful, I do not think that I will be needing any extra... assistance." Melusine knew nothing of reading other people's minds, and could care less about such things. So, she couldn't quite understand how the dragon knew of her undersea palace just by giving her a simple warning...

"Thank you for your concern. As a Sea-Serpent, however, I shall be able to fair the storm very well." with that, Melusine managed to cut off the link between her and the other dragon, and resumed her check. Everything seemed to be in order, so Melusine returned to her study.

So I said, I'm a snowball running. Running down into the spring that's coming -

Aeolus rolled down familiar streets casually. She was cheerful, excited, almost to the point of giddiness. All of this because she was going to see the coolest exhibit ever in the history of ever. Okay, so that was an exaggeration, but it was a pretty cool exhibit. The exhibit was of an orb, an ancient thing. No one was sure what it did, or it's origins. Many people believed it to be a thing of fantasy, much like Aeolus. Unfortunately, those people tend to be labeled as crazy and were not listened to. Aeolus was not one to care what people thought, so she was positively ecstatic (as mentioned earlier) about seeing this flight of fancy that was the Anklar.

As she rounded a corner and weaved in and out of the crowd, the museum came into clear site. She let a grin take over her face, stopping in front of a very, very tall staircase. Her grin immediately melted, and she skated back and forth in front of the museum until she came across a ramp. With a sigh of relief she began up the hill with some difficulty. In fact, by the time she reached the top of the ramp, she was panting and heaving for breath. But here was the museum, and a large banner was hung on either side of the large doorway picturing the Anklar in all it's glory.

She rolled up to the admission's desk and tossed her mother's membership card onto the marble. She was a bit of a nerd, so her mother had decided it would be best for them to have something to take the price down. There was a slight fee to going into the special exhibits, but it wasn't much at all. She skated over to a bench and yanked off her blades, replacing them with some classic converse. Of course, the museum did not allow enthusiastic teenage girls on wheels inside. With the blades in her bag, she walked (which was a bit weird for her) into the museum, finally entering. The path to the exhibit was clearly pointed out, and she had to stop herself from running to the center of the room where the Anklar sat on a stand that sat on a pillar. A glass case protected it from thieving hands, and a velvet rope surrounded it.. Aeolus's eyes widened with wonder as she watched the pulsating colors.

All this love, melting under blue skies belting out sunlight shimmering love
