HEY HEY. Because I'm a dork to likes to list/organize/chart EVERYTHING. I did this just as something to get us started. ^_^ Anything and everything is up for debate and nothing's set in stone till we all agree on it.
The Riders
Merrill of Amaranth - 22 - F - S - Holder - Stood as a Candidate
S'lar of Araneth - 26 - M - G - Weyrborn - Stands Impression
Ja'kki of Emerath - 26 - F - B - Weyrborn - Stood as a Candidate
Kr'stof of Xanth - 27 - M - G - Crafter - Stands Impression
Pre-Impression Timeline
Kristof Apprenticed @ 10 (M - 5, S - 9, J - 9)
Sidular Apprenticed @ 11 (K - 12, M - 7, J - 11)
Jaykkial begins to Stand @ 11 (K - 12, M - 7, S - 11)
Jaykkial Apprenticed @ 13 (K - 14, M - 9, S - 13)
Merrill sent to Malvren @ 12 (K - 17, S - 16, J - 16)
Kristof gains Journeyman @ 19 (M - 14, S - 18, J - 18 )
Sidular gains Journeyman @ 18 (K - 19, M - 14, J - 18 )
All Impress (K - 20, M - 14, S - 18, J - 18 )
Relationships w/ dead Bolts
Merrill - Looks to L'roh as a Mentor
S'lar - Close affectionate friendship w/ V'i
Ja'kki - Close friendship w/ V'i (secretly loved)
New Dynamic of the Bolts?
OK. This is all my speculation based loosely on ages/personalities. Any suggestions and changes WELCOME. If you don't like something please speak up ^_^
Merrill - 'Pet' (Ranged DPS)- The darling of the Bolts. Due to her natural charm she's often recruited to talk to others on the Bolts behalf. (get us out of trouble with those pretty eyes and words dear)
Kr'stof - Leader (Tank)- Takes charge after L'roh's death. A different style of leader but all the younger kids respect him and respond well to him. Ultimately decides the Bolts direction
S'lar - Organizer/Tactition (Healer)- Works closely with Kr'stof to bring any plans to fruition. Uses his calm demeanor to soothe any internal conflicts before they disrupt the harmony. Often sees to their health/wellbeing (yes Mother >w>)
Ja'kki - (melee DPS) I haven't got this far xd Not entirely sure what her strengths might be useful for other than informant/ enforcer/ suggestions?

I'm impressed, this is so organized!
Oh, I love the idea of Merrill being the "pet" of the bolts! It wasn't something that had occurred to me, as I didn't know who would make up our group, but I think it would be a great role for her.
Regarding timelines, I'm extremely flexible for what you guys want to do. In my prompt, I had the Bronze rider who killed L'roh as Merrill's father. She then killed her father in revenge. I know that other people gave that bronze rider other identities, so I just want to say up front that I'm okay with him not being Merrill's dad. I still want to keep the patricide element, but she could have killed him at any point during the fighting if someone else is really attached to their version of the bronze rider who killed L'roh.
ALSO! My AIM is MyWishingBear.

My AIM is watashiwaoreo@yahoo.com and thank you!
If Noz wants to keep her version of the death of the bronzerider and that's alright with you it works for me. I've no real preference since I didn't write it into my own character.
I figured since she was (now)the youngest and enjoyed the attention/focus being on her it might suit. biggrin
I also have a request from Tanukyle!
Tanu has been kind enough to offer to draw a group portrait of our characters! So If everyone could please give a detailed description of their rider's appearances it would be lovely. Things like height, body type, coloration, face shape, scars, clothing, stuff like that I'm assuming will be useful ^_^

Art! Yay! "Merrill is tall and slender, with a beautifully thick mane of auburn hair and dark green eyes. She knows that she is a beautiful woman, and she is not likely to let anyone forget it. Merrill does not dress in frilly dresses, however. She prefers trousers and tunics. Her clothing is always exquisitely tailored and she dresses in shades of green and silver that compliment her coloring as well as that of her dragon's." Here is the portrait I did of her for color and hair references. By "tall" I mean approximately 5'8" ish.

Ja'kki"Ja'kki's short and she knows it. There's no point in pointing it out unless you want a bruised kneecap (or worse you tall bastards). She topped off at 5'1" as a kid and never grew another inch. She keeps herself clean and her appearance presentable, preferring to dress herself in serviceable gear on the off chance a whim will send her and Emerath into the air at any moment. Sturdy pants boots and belts are a requirement, as well as gloves and goggles, which are normally tucked into a loop somewhere if not worn. Ja'kki keeps her hair short for ease of care. Brown hair, Brown Eyes, fair skin. She's pretty enough to serve but no exceptional beauty. Ja'kki falls firmly in the 'adorable' category... unless you know her." Dolldivine PortraitPretty much that exactly xd Details can be removed as necessary. I'd prefer she keeps at least the gloves and/or goggles. Despite her short height, (5'1" ) that's her body type as well. She's just tiiiiny.

So organized, ho'damn! My AIM is APaintersFury for whatevs! biggrin Krissy would be more than happy to take over as Big Bossman. Also, feel free to assume your character can call him Kris/Krissy without being grumbled at. Nicknames are fun! He uses them. With the bronze thing, I don't mind if J'nas and K'nos weren't the ones to be total buttheads. Same with you, Fae, as long as there's the element of 'Kris killed his boyfriend and boyfriends friend' going down, I am good to go. Krissy, lookwise: "He is ... pretty. That's really the only way to desribe it. He has a sharp features and full lips, large eyes so dark brown they're nearly black, and the ear-length curls match. His skin is only a few shades lighter. Kr'stof is only 5'7" and slight of build, some scars dotting over his chest and side from years of dragonriding, a few threadscore scars marring a good portion of his back. Kr'stof is all whipcord leanness. He has a few badges of war from the Revolution, most notably the four deep oval imprints lying horizontally on his cheek in the form of a strike from brass knuckles and another just under his right eye. He wears a leather strap around his throat with the letter 'D' carved into it. Don't touch it. Since the Revolution, he's taken to wearing elbow-high fingerless gloves." Side Shot! Badly photographed doodle from two or so years ago? Ignore the awkward-sided girl to the right. WARNING: Shirtless and from about three years ago. Please ignore the burn scars. Neither picture has his revolution scars, though. >:

Also! With this: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/breedable-changing-pets/d-aap-bolt-winners-3213-calling-revolutionaries-3216/t.59681321_48238/#48238
Krissy is signing up and would likely encourage the others to sign up as well (I think? IDK if it's ICly signing up...), but not doing so would be understandable. They've done enough stuff, man.

Ja'kki will eat these cookies >-> xd So... what else do we need to work out? Aside from Fae and Noz deciding who killed L'roh. Do we want to add some history details after their Impression or leave it the nice semi-vague description Tawny gave us? Same for their joining of the Revolutionists? We might want to consider their individual reasons for doing so (If you haven't already) The group decision was given in the description of the contest ( below) And... They're all rather close of course but do we want to create some individual relationships or leave that up to future RP? (Just for convenience sake) Quote: Clutched together they bucked the status quo from day one, demanded equal treatment and lashed out when they didn't get it. Even the mildest of them was often on punishment duties. As they grew so too grew their resentment, and in a show of defiance the five greenriders spent near every moment of their free time practising flight and flame together to surpass the bronzes and golds that looked down upon them, who were given things they could never possess. In time they began to use their skills to wow the Holders around Malvren's territories in displays of acrobatics, twisting around one another and flaming so close to one another it took the Holders' breath away.
Despite gaining some local fame and some wealth for their exploits, The Malvren Bolts - as they named themselves - were not content. Each was placed in a different wing to keep them from making trouble together, and they felt that their skills went unappreciated by their silver and bronze wingleaders. Small wonder then that when Keller set his careful plans in motion he sent an operative to contact the display team, to whisper to them of what the world could be if people were willing to take a stand for what was right and just.
It didn't take much to win them to the cause.
As lowly, unnoticed greenriders they quietly passed information to him for months and when the time to strike came they struck well. Their amazing teamwork made them a deadly force during the battle for Malvren; many dragons fell to their swift claws and deadly accurate flames.
When victory came however it did not come without cost; the eldest rider and youngest rider lay dead, their dragons gone between with piercing cries of anguish.
Diminished, grieving but not cowed, the remaining three members of The Malvren Bolts drew together to celebrate victory and toast their fallen comrades. A brave new world was theirs; they were granted the respect and recognition they had always craved, and crushed the old ways under their boots. As life began to settle into its new pattern and the riders and dragons grew used to being four not six they awaited orders from Keller to strike again.
Those who had slain their comrades would pay.
Trine would pay.

Kris kind of assumed J'nas would join them in the fight. neutral He did not. He joined because the comment about greens being good only for 'Flights and fodder' is going to be an IC thing from his past that was thrown around more than once. He can be a leader and a good fighter/flyer but all but worthless due to color? No thank you. D<

Also with the friendshipness, Kris would try to make friends with all of them. Even if they're not really close, feel free to assume he was never an all out catty snarker to them unless they were being catty about someone not on the 'team'. He likes people and friends, even if he can be... uh.
Seriously, catty is the best way to put it.

xd I could see him and Ja'kki having 'friendly' snark wars. Or just insulting each other to show their love.
