Story:
((OOC: Please, if you haven't read any of the series, I encourage you to do so. This does not mean that those who haven't may not join, so long as you are willing to accept what I say as the story progresses without any questions.))
Many years have passed since the adventures of Temeraire and Laurence, brining new Aviators into the Corps. With the arrival of a new threat, beyond the one posed by Napoleon and the others whom Laurence and his greatest friend, Temeraire had conquered. As more dragons were being born, the Corps began to surpass the Navy in being the standard form of combat against foreign enemies.
Dranthorin Gayleon (pronounced Dranthoreen Gale-ion), the great grandson of Dormin Gayleon III, and Duke of Paris, has gathered a fleet of Navy ships, which range from frigates of around 36 guns, to top-class destroyers with anywhere between 80 and 100 guns. However, he also has a swarm of dragons and their riders, adding up to 235,000 strong. With these two strengths at hand, Dranthorin set out to conquer the entire world. He was fueled not only by his sick dream of becoming a god, but the burning rage caused by his previous defeat.
As it stands to date, with the whereabouts of Dranthorin unknown to all but himself, and the added threat of enslavement, the English Corps, Navy, and their allies, are all that stand between the last of the Gayleon family line, and global domination.
Can England and her allies withstand the onslaught to come, or will they be consumed by the waves of enemies that await?

Dragons:
Name- Melek Pyralis (Pyralis- Greek for "Of Fire" Melek- Turkish for "Angel") *(Goes by Mel for short in informal conversation)
Age- 5 years
Gender- Female
Species- Kazilik
Nationality- Turkish
Side- England
Ability (if any)- Fire Breathing
Strengths- Being a Kazilik, Mel is able to breathe fire up to 80 yards, she's also a ferocious creature in battle, being bred with a fiery temper.
Weaknesses- Because of her ferocity, Mel could become bloodthristy in battle and lose sight of the real strategies that her rider plans out. Instead, she may go for the nearest enemy dragon and completely annihalate them, leaving open herself and other dragons for attack.
Rider- Tai
Class- Heavy Fighter
Short Bio- Being a veteren dragon of five years, Mel has shared many experiences with her rider Tai. She was an egg that decended from the only Kazilik that existed in the English fleet, Iskierka, and therefore was a rare breed to be hatched on the British side. She took a liking to Tai right away despite how young he was. She trained well with him, and managed to control her instincts well in battle. However, a few mistakes had led to Tai's scar, and she knew she had to control her temper more in order to avoid that situation. Therefore, she continues to train with him, and enjoys fighting more then any dragon in her fleet.
Appearance- The Dragon on the cover of the third book (Black Powder War)

Pre-Made Characters:
Dragons:
Aviators:
Name- Tai
Age- 15 years
Gender- Male
Nationality- German
Side- England
Class- Aviator
Dragon- Mel
Bio- Tai is a veteran Aviator of five years, flying on many missions, important or otherwise, with Melek. He gave her the name when she was hatched, as is the propper thing to do when an Aviator's dragon does this, but she has allowed him to call her Mel for short. It was long into their experiences with one another that the two discovered that Mel could spout flames from her jaws, thus making her far more formidable than before hand.
Personality- Tai would seem like the kind of person who would be seen among Galeon's forces, at first glace anyway. However, if one took the time to learn more about him, they would find that he can actually be friendly...to an extent. This fact, though, is mainly overlooked, given that he takes no disrespect from anyone who is not higher in rank, or has more experience, than he.
Appearance- ((I'll get one later))

"Sir?" a thin, and rather pale faced young man yelped as he knocked on a reinforced wooden door, "Sir...I mean, Captain?"
"Yes?" the man said, his voice seeming very cold.
"T-The egg you were assigned to is going to h-hatch soon," the boy paused for a moment, catching his breath after running up a few flights of stairs, "Captain Tai requests that you be there, since it's your egg."
"Did he tell you to wake me?" the voice echoed through the reinforced door, "Or did you take that upon yourself?"
"C-Captain, I-I..." the boy stammered.
"Yes," came a dark voice from behind the boy, "I told him to wake you, Captain."
"C-Captain Tai!" the boy breathed, suddenly straightening at the sight of his captain.
The figure climbed the last few steps that separated he and the boy. His face was hiddenby shadow until he reached the landing that the boy stood on, the light from the wall-mounted torch illuminating his face. It revealed the scar that ran diagonally across his right eye.
"I suggest that you never speak to my top rifleman with such disrespect again, Captain," Tai said, pronoucing the laster part very thoroughly, "Remember that you are only a captain because your egg hatched three years earlier than expected."

Melek Pyralis gazed up at the rising sun with intent interest, her golden eyes taking in the beautiful colors of the sky. Her deep red scales gleamed brightly in the growing light, and she spread her giant wings, basking in the sun's glorious warmth. She opened her jaws to take in a deep breath of fresh air. She was expected to be at the newest hatching and harnessing, so she couldn't spend too much time resting. But she enjoyed every second of it while it lasted.
Giving a draconic groan, she pushed herself up onto all fours and threw her head back to unstiffen the vertibrae in her long neck. She then arched her back, feeling her bones crack from staying in one position for too long. She longed to be in battle again, tearing through the enemy ranks like she did so long ago, but Tai needed his rest, and, even though she didn't want to admit it, she did as well.
Letting out a loud roar to start the day, Mel bent her legs and then gave a mighty leap from her perch upon the cliff that overlooked the base below. Her great ribbed wings caught the air and allowed her to hover in the sky for a short time. She then brought them in against her body and dived down towards the clearing where the hatching was going to occur.
The ground rushed up at her quickly, thanks to her massive size, and she threw her weight up to her chest in order to right herself in the air. She then snapped her golden-red wings open. She furiously flapped the flight appendages in order to slow herself down so she wouldn't crash. Eventually she managed to land softly upon the ground, shaking it slightly from her weight.

As he wandered towards the clearing where the soon to hatch egg was held, Tai couldn't help but wonder what Melek had been up to. However, he hadn't much time to think of the subject, as when he finished trudging through the last, small tunnel which lead to the designated area, the first thing he saw was his dragon. A smile spread across his face as he approached the great beast and patted her side.
"Gotten enough rest?" he inquired, knowing that she tended to take longer to recover her energy every now and then.

Mel gave him a toothy grin and lowered her gargantuan head down to take him in, "Yes, I'm well rested. I'm curious as to what this new dragon will be like. It's always nice to have new recruits to the Corps. It seems our numbers are getting smaller and smaller." Sadness filled her voice, and she gave a small sigh, expelling warm air onto Tai, "My young rider...do you believe we can win this war? The odds are vastly against us. Although we have fought and won many battles, it seems we have lost much in our years..."

Tai got a slightly grim look on his face as he thought of the chances that the war would end in Britain's favor. However, he pushed the thought from his head and smiled once more. Stroking the smooth part of Mel's snout he made his reply.
"Not forever," he began, "No one can win forever."

Melek closed her eyes and sighed, "That is very true, young rider." She rested her head on the ground beside him, the many spines along her form rustling softly in the slight breeze that began to stir. She waited for a few moments, and cracked open her eyelids a tiny bit, "When is this egg hatching going to occur? Sometime soon I hope."
