Welcome to Gaia! ::

Young Dragons & Traveling
As many of you know, the ability to travel is heavily effected by two things: age and the ability to fly. I know this can hamper some possibilities for those who have hatchlings involved. As many of the PC's will be hatchlings and younglings, you'll have to pardon me if I play a little trial and error here with how to bring dragons that young to be involved in the story.

Character Involvement
Your character is only as involved as you want them to be.
Play true to your character's personality and enjoy the situations they bring upon themselves due to that personality. This is all we ask.

For example, I have seen a player (not here) create a loner character only to be upset when no one wanted to interact with his character later. I just want everyone to keep in mind that the kind of character you play will affect how they interact with others.

Attendance & If You Need To Go On Hiatus
Also, you are only as involved as what is required of you.
Be a leader, a follower, or some other combination - but over all do something or don't complain later. If you don't post and it's holding up everyone else, the story will push on without you. If Real Life issues should force you to post less or have to go on hiatus, that's no problem. Life works that way sometimes. Either find a way to have your character step out of the rp. If they are playing a prominent part, I will try and help find a way for your character to do so without jarring the rp too much.

Dangers
Injury and failure are possible just as success and gain is possible. Death CAN happen, but since I cannot guarantee credit for a new dragon cert, it will probably be closer to a near death experience or it won't be permanent death unless you chose it to be. I wouldn't take any near-death experiences lightly though...

Just like in Heritage, if your dragon is entering into a dangerous situation, there will be roleplay warnings and chances to escape from danger. If your dragon chooses to remain in danger and injury/death is the result, you will get to see what happens. In short, take this as a disclaimer that things may not all go your way. I will be running the NPC’s and have a hand in the events of the game on either the Dragon-Bound or Jayara account.

Who can Join
As long as it won't conflict with the events that have already happened in Heritage, anyone dragon, dragon-bound, or human can join as long as they fill out the application. You don't have to be trying to Ascend or Fall to join - you can play for fun.

How to Join
Apply in the Rp Wanted thread by filling out and posting the form there. Then post in the shop letting me know you've done so. I will then get back to you when I can.

This section has changed since the start of the SRP because my RL job schedule changed early on and so I've made adjustments.

Instead of telling everyone they have three or so days to post when they're needed to respond in the rp, we're making it a bit more simple. We have deadlines. About every 3-4 days (give or take some), I will put up a post to forward the story as well as the date my next post will be made. Everyone has until that date to put up their replies or to sit out if they'd like with their characters. Characters may also carry on their own activities/conversations with other pc's if they wish during this time.

Forewarning, the definitions and requirements are subject to change at any time in order to better the RP. I will try to give you fair warning though. Currently it is in experimental mode so please bear with me. As has been mentioned before, you are only as involved in the SRP as much as your character makes themselves involved. If you post regularly and in depth, you will see more of the story swing to involve you.

Clan: Dou Deyr
Location: Orange Circle



Sensing movement to the side, the leader of the Dou Deyr looked over to see another dragon scrabbling across the wet moss toward his position.

"Soldar! Incoming Knight!" Kubleret shouted as he reached the white and sand colored dragon.

Soldar looked up in the direction the watchdragon had motioned and saw the flash of armor plating in the sky, reflecting what little sun appeared between the grey clouds that hung above.

Dew-ladden branches swayed and damp dead leaves stirred as the knight pair drew closer to the camp and made their landing just offside the clan’s circle, the human disembarking from the dragon’s back before both of them walked toward the clan leader.

“Hails sent from Ley Suan, Soldar,” the dragon greeted with the nod of his head. “My name is Elmnysa and Baylit is my accompanying bound.”

“Greetings Knights Elmnysa and Baylit. What is the word from Ley Suan?” Soldar asked, opening the channel so that his bound might share in on the information as well.

“There’s been movement in the forests just southeast of Ley Suan. We suspect hunters, but they have tarried much if they are so. We’re assisting Ley Suan in guarding the area as they do not have the wings to keep a continuous watch. For the sake of Dou Deyr, we recommend an increased watch here as well. Though we do not know from which direction these humans came, the quickest route back to the human lands is in this direction.”

“Thank you for your words, Knight Elmysa,” Soldar said curtiously while bowing his head. “We will let you know should anything arise. Has Genyiel been informed of the mater?”

“A messenger has been sent to Genyiel to report to Master Lierce,” Elmnysa replied with a nod. “In the meantime, our numbers here should be enough to handle anything immediate.”

“That is good to hear. I’ll speak with our guards right away and post a new watch. May the blessings of Narktu be with us,” Soldar said as he stood up from his seated position, seeing that the Knight seemed ready to turn and be off already. “Should anything be discovered of the humans hiding in the woods over there, please pass along word, would you?”

“By the honor of the Knights,” Elmysa said, her head held high.



The Knight-pair was gone not long after they had arrived and Soldar had already given his bound orders to get the young dragons rounded up and gathered together for a count. He himself would speak with the guard to discuss the changes that needed to be made for the moment.

Alright, the story is pretty much set. We're going to take this out of Genyeil for a time and actually involve the Dragon Clans some. Dou Deyr is a decent sized clan which has a mix of dragon-types present in their ranks, from Ascended to Fallen. Granted, this means there can be some pushing and shoving and raising of voices when it comes to getting things done, but when you live as close as they do to the Boundary, there is some compromise.

Currently there is a bit of political upheaval going on in the clan right now. The leadership is currently in a three-way tug of war. Currently, Soldar is leading the clan while competitor Iwilthi is close at his heels should he falter. A loss of some of their own to dragon hunters a few months ago has boosted a young Fallen dragon named Hhynntar in the limelight and he is quickly gaining ground behind the two.

What this means for all players is that it is easy to integrate your character in here if you wish to do so. Feel free to be a part of the clan, a passing visitor, or (if you are an older dragon) feel free to be one of the dragons on watch duty.

If you want other options, there is Ley Suan who a few Knights are assisting or if you have any other ideas that might work with what is already started, go ahead and post. If you're not sure your idea will work out with what is already presented, pm me and will discuss it.
