((I attempted to do this RP a few months ago but due to several occurrences I set in motion it died, I’m going to try again having learned from past mistakes…))

The Dragons Blood Academy


This story starts out on the continent of Paleron. On this continent there are four countries the first and smallest country, Xasis famous for the bravery of there samurai. They are on the south western sea board. Then there is Drin the largest of the countries there soldiers are well known for there ruthlessness on the battle field. They are on the north western sea board. Then there is Ferishin a mid sized country composed of flat fertile lands they produce a vast amount of wheat and other crops which they sell to the other countries making them the richest of the four. They are located on the south east part of the continent. Then there is Coshrna there land is almost completely surrounded by mountains, leaving only two entrances into the country both of which have great gates baring them off. They are famous for there dragon riders which make up the bulk of there military might. The riders were fare stronger than the ordinary man and gifted with magic which made them dangerous appoints. The four countries have been in a delicate piece for the last 500 years. Untell the countries of Xasis, Drin, and Ferishin all united agents Coshrna fearful of the straight of there riders. The gates protecting the two entrances to Coshrna have held for ten years now but the Coshrna’s straight is wavering and many fear the gates might fall at any time. Though no solder could mach the riders they used shear numbers to overwhelm them, one by one riders and there dragons fell in combat agents the seemingly endless waves of solders.

The Dragons Blood Academy, were people chosen by dragon hatchlings were trained in combat and caring for there dragons, dragons only chose young children at the age of around four to five (with few exceptions) so all children of that ages once a year would be taken to the hatching grounds in the Capital. If chosen by a dragon the child was taken from there family and put into the academy, were they started there training immediately

This RP is set in The Dragons Blood Academy even though the war is not going well for Coshrna the Academy continues to train there students knowing that they are there last hope.

You can either be a teacher or a student in this RP the teachers dragons are full grown and the students dragons depend on how old they are (unless I ok you’re an exception and were accepted into the academy at a much older age).
at one year dragons are about one two feet long and have a wing span of about four feet,

at two years they are about four feet long including there tall with a wingspan of about six feet at this age most dragon learn to fly,

at four years they are about six feet long with a wingspan of seven feet,

at five there about nine feet long with a wingspan of about ten feet,

at six there about twelve feet long and have a wingspan of about fifteen feet this is the age most dragons can start carrying there riders,

at seven there about fourteen feet long and have a wingspan of about twenty two feet at this point dragon grow about one foot a year both in length and wingspan
At fifteen they are about twenty-one feet long with a wingspan of about twenty-six feet, at this age is were the students complete there training. At this age is were dragons mature, after this they grow about one foot in both length and wingspan until they reach the age of.

From the moment a hatchling chooses its rider the rider is gifted with magic, a large part of what is taught in the academy is about the uses and dangers of magic

The Academy is split into four buildings the first and largest is located in the center of the grounds it is twenty stories tall and circular in shape and about half a mile in diameter, this is were the students study magic then surrounding this building are three rectangular building evenly spaced. The building to the north is the students dorms, this is were all the students rooms are located. The building to the south east is were the students are trained physically, this building is about four stories high and is essentially hallow, it is felled with seemingly endless cat walks and ropes that the instructors are always changing around, having the students transverse there aerial mazes, on the ground the students train in there weapons of choice. In the last building to the south west has massive doors and is felled with large rooms, this is were the dragons sleep. While the Riders train the instructors dragons take the young dragons to train the forested area surrounding the academy teaching them aerial maneuvers along with many other useful skills.

In this RP dragons are just as smart as there riders and are able to communicate with there riders, riders can communicate with any dragon but is considered impolite to speak with someone else’s dragon.

Gaia Name: Maurikal
Name: Paige Hopkins
Student or Teacher: Student
Age: 16
Weapons: A halberd with a strong metal handle tipped with a crescent-shaped blade along with a bow and quiver.
Personality: Quite sociable, Paige hides behind her charismatic facade as a means of self protection. Though she seems to aid others constantly and befriends her peers easily, it is all a well devised safeguard. The more people she has on her side, the less enemies she has to face. Paige has made a point to side-step out of any real responsibilities and appears to lean on others for support, though she is actually independent by nature.
Bio: What's best for Coshrna is best for Paige. Her parents drilled this ideal into their daughter as soon as she was able to comprehend words. There were no tears or sad farewells when Paige was taken to the academy at the age of four. Instead there was a pat on the back, a smile from both of her parents and a nod of approval from her father. This was the most suited path for any child of his. The girl, believing her dreams had begun to be met, happily attended Dragons Blood Academy. Later on as she began to think for herself, Paige decided that her parent's lofty ideals were just that. Holding only a tinge of resentment for their blind loyalty and quickness to throw her into the midst of war and progress, she still finds herself wanting victory for Coshrna.
Appearance: Paige (Exclude the sword) She has light brown hair, blue eyes, and her outfit consists of light blue, white, and black.

Gaia Name: Her Darkness Armah
Name:Armah
Race: Drow (actually she’s a Halfling, Drow/Human)
Sex: female
Student or Teacher: teacher (if you’ll have me)
Age: 53 (that’s about 20 in human terms, she looks 20)
Weapons: javelin, war hammer, bow, cross bow, survival, also hand-to-hand
Personality: Armah is ALWAYS serious. Some people think she has absolutely no sense of humor at all, but once you know her (which takes about 10 years) you discover she has a very clear but understated dark sense of humor.
Bio: Armah was born to the royal family of the Warrior Class of Drow clan Pain. From a very early age she took exception to the way the males and slaves were treated. She often got into fights with her instructors and her mother over this issue so at 40 she ran away from home (equivalent to a 14 year old human) and has wandered the world ever since.
Appearance: 5’2”, white hair which would hang past her knees if she wore it loose, which she almost never does, and her skin is rose-charcoal (about 3 shades up from pure black with a slight rose tint) her eyes are a deep amethyst purple but the muscle of her eyes is red.
Dragon info:
Name: Kelthlesayna
Color: Red
Race: Fire dragon
Sex: female
Personality: Kelth is often considered “hauty” and taciturn but actually she is just very quiet, preferring to study from a distance than join in. She is soft spoken, always, and can bespeak anyone she chooses, even those who are not usually sensitive to dragons. Besides her fire breath, Kelthlesayna also has some powers of illusion and her humming could put an Orc to sleep. She is a fair and patient teacher for young dragons but she believes they learn best from their own mistakes so she doesn’t interfere with a lesson gone wrong unless it will cost the dragon or rider their life. Afterward she will talk with the young dragon to see if it knows what went wrong and how to fix it. Only then, if the dragon is not sure, will she instruct and tutor until the young dragon has it right.
Size: Large. 30 feet long with a 70 foot wing span. (Usually dragon’s wingspan has to be a minimum of twice their body length or they can’t get off the ground) She was not born on Gaia.
Age: 25
Year at the Academy: New arrival if you will have us.

PostPosted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 11:45 am


((considering there are still a few people in the guild that haven’t joined I was hoping for a teacher profile, thou for now we’ll just have to use NPCs))

Tramer started walking toward the student dorms, he walked with a surprised limp, every muscle in his body aced, Tramer stopped and sat down next to a large tree just shortly before making it to the dorms, with a slight mown as Tramer made it to the ground.

“you were the won foolish enough to challenge the teacher…” Triesa said with a slight chuckle.

“so you find me being in pain as amusing?” Tramer asked as he rubbed his shoulder.

“…maybe” Triesa said with a chuckle, “the sun is setting, both of us need to make it to the dorms” Triesa said motioning for Tramer to stand up.

Tramer laughed before forcing himself to his feet, once to the main door of the dorms Triesa took the sky heading for the dragon’s dorms, Tramer let out a long sigh knowing word of his sparing mach with instructor Gorth had most likely been spread through the entire campus by now, reluctantly Tramer entered the student dorms.

In the Southwest most building, on the Academy grounds, in one of the smaller rooms, a long-haired old man well into his greying stage of life tended to some wounds on a small dragon of about three years. To say small is to compare it to the other dragons that resided on these grounds, not to compare to the old man's size, for it was about five feet from tip to tail, with an even wingspan of just over six feet.
Greyum, the dragon being tended to, stayed still for the most part, only flinching slightly when the old man unexpectedly touched her wounds.
She had been careless. She had snuck out the past night to practice her flying techniques when she was assaulted by a large swooping owl. It paid with it's life, but not before doing some nasty damage to the young dragon. Greyum had passed out, falling with the owl's lifeless body still in it's claws. The next thing she knew, she was back in her nest with the Dragon Hermit tenderly massaging something onto her wings.
Dragon Hermit. She had heard the other dragons call him that, and they in turn got the name from the riders. No-one seemed to know his real name. In fact, there was not much that anyone knew for certain about him. He just showed up one day, choosing to stay in an empty nest. No-one saw where he came from, but he's been here for some thirty years, tending to the nests and dragons alike.
Greyum flinched as the Hermit applied something to her chest scales that was initially cold then suddenly hot. He was always using potions, herbs, ointments, and other mysterious concoctions. Quite different from the quick magic used by some of the riders and healers. But then, his methods always seemed to heal better.
Why, even just two years ago, there had been a mature dragon that came down with some sickness. It was strange enough that he got sick, but that the healers' magic helped none was unheard of. The Hermit took a look at him and began preparing some new concoction. Within a few weeks, the dragon was as strong as his own stench (which can be quite a compliment among the bigger males).
"That ought to do." The old man spoke in the dragon's head as he stepped back from her. "Try not to move around too much today and you should be able to go out with your friends tomorrow"
Stooping by the door, he picked something up that looked vaguely familiar.
"Here's your prize. I hope it's worth it."
He tossed the carcass at Greyum with a strength unknown to most men his age, and it landed just in front of her fore-talons. As she bent down to tear off a wing, her movements were stiff and raw. When she raised her head again, the old man was gone.
There was something very strange about him, like he was a past memory that nobody could quite remember.


((damn! why can't inspiration flow through me like this when I'm writing my novels?))

A gentle breeze brushed light brown strands over a fairly pale face, as the owner of said strands and face relaxed against a lone oak. Beside the girl laid an intimidating green dragon, his head resting on his own tail.

‘Paige, shouldn’t you be practicing , studying, or any of those things that you human children normally do?’ the towering dragon asked through their mental link.

Unfazed by his words Paige simply answered, ‘I’m done for the day.’ After a peaceful pause she continued, ‘Why, Beathan? Does it bother you that I’m not being productive as usual?’

‘No, I’m just wondering why you aren’t hanging around the other students in your free time,’ the dragon drawled. ‘You never went off alone when you were younger.’

‘I’m not alone. I’m with you.’ Paige sent a genuine smile towards the dragon she considered her best friend. ‘Just rest for once. Enjoy the day.’

Beathan couldn’t think of a retort, so he left it at that. The dragon felt that his rider was changing. She was spending less and less time with the other students to laze about. He understood the need to enjoy nature once in a while, but he also knew that solitude was only healthy in small doses. At least for Paige anyway. He shot her a glance adn realized that she had fallen asleep. With nothing else to do, he remained there enjoying the calm weather.

Ryuujin walked into the middle of the open field and looked around and then took off his long coat. he pulled out his black katana and closed his eyes for a second and a copy formed in front of him and he started to fight it and shock waves of energy came from the clashing blades

Tramer went immediately to his room, moving extremely slowly trying to keep the pain from the many bruises that covered his body to a minimum, Tramer placed his sword Korvana lining agents the wall, he then carefully laid in bed, once on his back Tramer looked at his sword “I hate you” Tramer said with a slight chuckle before leaning back and staring blankly at the ceiling.

Asteril sat in a branch about ten to twelve feet from the ground. He was in the forest near the Academy. Below him, laying where there had been sunlight was Thaerin the dragon that chose him. The scales of the dragon were a deep blue and when sunlight was upon the scales they shined with a streak of white. Asteril looked down on dragon and said, "When are you going to get up."

"Your the one that didn't want to watch the sparring matches," Thaerin said.

"That doesn't mean anything I just didn't want to watch people beating each other to a pulp, I see enough of that in class."

"I know your feelings on the matter; how about we return, it is getting late."

"Alright." Asteril jumped from branch to branch until he was about four feet off the ground then jumped to the ground. However because of a bad landing his feet didn't take the full force of the landing. Thaerin laughed when this happened and then helped Asteril up. The two then walked back to the academy's main complex.

Dusk was approaching, Beathan knew that the young lady dozing against the tree next to him needed to return to the dorms. With a light huff the dragon rose from the ground and called to Paige in an almost parental tone, 'You should get up and go to bed, little one.'

Hearing his voice subconsciously, Paige stirred a bit before sliding her eyes open. "Eep!" she exclaimed out loud. 'It's almost dusk! Beathan why didn't you wake me earlier?' she mentally berated the dragon.

'Humph, I was taking your advice and enjoying the day' he replied wittily.

Admitting defeat, Paige pushed herself up off the ground and began her walk back to dorms. Once she was within sight of the building she looked back over her shoulder. Beathan had followed like usual, but now he would take leave. With a smile from her and a sincere, 'I'll see you tomorrow,' countered by an 'Of course,' Paige watched as the green beast took to the sky.

After a moment or two, she entered the dorm lobby. She noticed a few students socializing, some were reading, and a few others were just reveling in the precious free time they had. Feeling the need to be alone she quickly sped towards the stairs. Fortunately only a few "hi's" were thrown in her direction, and she was able to make a clean escape to her room.

Darkness came quicker than it had the previous nights, signalling the slow coming of winter.
The old man sat, perched atop a large rock that had once been a statue marking the entrance to the academy nests. He had once thought to repair the statue, but persuaded himself otherwise, in part because it had been in it's current state so long that no-one else could remember what it originally looked like so many years ago.
The old man released a small sigh as he looked over the treetops at the sky where the sun had just set. It was almost to that time of the year when he would pass by each dragon in it's sleep and listen to the songs of their snores. Then he would go out into the forest and disappear for a time, anywhere from one to three weeks.
His disappearances were not odd, and generally went un-noticed. Once, ten years ago, a student had thought to follow him, but soon got lost. Taking a quick nap to releive himself of his fatigue and fear, he later awoke in his own dorm bed, back at the academy.
The old man, still perched atop the once-statue, silently watched as the dragons slowly began to return to their nests for the night.
