Dragonsbane A Fantasy RPG of Epic-like Proportions 200 years ago, A great evil threatened the Kingdom of Stardonia. Drakus, a sorcerer of great strength marched on the lands with his legion of shadow minions. Stardonia's King at the time gathered all the races in the land. United, they fought back, repelling the invading forces with much battle. Drakus retreated and went on to brood for another attempt. 100 years ago, Drakus attempted to seize control of Stardonia again, this time by spreading a great sickness across the land. The previous king's son, Orrious, gathered a small band of warriors whom banded together and trekked the land and sailed across the sea to southern most point of the world. Together, they fought with and slew Drakus, creating an era of peace in the world. But, unbeknownst to Orrious, Drakus cast a spell on him with his dying breath. He cursed that his first born son would bear Drakus's spirit until a day arrived for Drakus to emerge victorious from the grave. 25 years ago, that son was born. Though the second hatching of King Orrious and his queen, he was favored for he was male, and one day he would be crowned king. They named him Xipz, and over the next five years on his life, he was a happy hatching who promised to grow into a fine young Drake and eventually, a handsome dragon. However, on the eve of Xipz' fifth birthday, the spirit of Drakus arose out of his body to strike Stardonia at it's heart. Taking the body of a young palace guard, he slew the king and queen in their sleep before raising an army of shadow creatures to take over the castle and the capital city. Orrious's most trusted advisor, an Elf named Rizyu, woke Xipz and his older sister, Phoenix, and helped them to escape the castle. During the escape, Phoenix got separated from them. Rizyu whisked Xipz across the country side and took him to the home of one of Orrious's old comrades, a Dwarf named D'Bode Bardost, who know lived as a farmer. Xipz was given to him to raise in quiet. The day was lost, and Stardonia's only hope lay in the young hatchling low under the care of D'Bode. Rizyu left for parts unknown. 20 years have past, and the Stardonia lies in a pitiful state. It's people cry out for a hero. Will it be you? |

Characters Just a few things to keep in mind when creating your characters. I ask that you try to come up with an OC but if you want to use a character from some other established medium, that's okay, so long as you adapt them to fit in this world. Kind of like an Alternate Universe Version of that character. Races Below are the 5 races you may choose from with thier descriptions. The letters beside thier names refer to the magical elements they may posess. (See Magic) Human E / W / F / A Humans generally have a lifespan of around 100 years. This simple fact tens to make them the most dangerous race there is. While the other races focus more on the individual, Humans live their lives for the betterment of the next generation. Drakus looks down on humans, and since his rise to power, most humans are either slaves are peasants. Most prefer life of slavery because they are at least guaranteed one meal a day. Elf W / A / L / D Elves live to be around 750 years old. In terms of height, they are the second tallest race, typically reaching heights of 7-8 feet. Elves are the most magically adept species, most usually become sorcerers and sorceresses. Dwarf E / F / L / D Dwarves generally live to be 500. They are the shortest race, rarely even reaching up to 4 feet. Dwarves tend to be very stubborn and in terms of magically ability, very weak. It's rare to find a dwarf that knows anything about magic, or even what element they were born into. They make the fiercest warriors. When Drakus took over, many dwarves retreated into the southern mountain for fear of persecution. Those that remained became farmers and blacksmiths, suffering little beyond the elves and Dragons. Dragon F / A / L / D Dragons live for about 1000 years. They are the tallest species, reaching at around, 9-11 feet. Dragons are anthropomorphic. A Dragon's life cycle in from birth to 10 years, they Are considered Hatchings. From 10 to 25 they are Drakes. When they sprout their wings, they are considered Dragons. Of all species, Dragons are the only capable of flight. While not all Dragons are born into the element of fire, all can breath fire. (Those born into fire typically have a larger flame if they choose to hone their magical ability). Dragons are second only to the elves in terms of magical ability. When Drakus took control, Dragons were lifted up above the other races to be respected and revered, though no all chose to accept their new found wealth. A good deal chose to live amongst the commoners rather than bend to Drakus's will. Lycan E / A / L / D Lycans have a lifespan of about 250. In terms of height, they reach around 6-8 feet when standing tall, though they are typically hunched over. They have the physical appearance of Werewolves. Legend says the lycans were once humans and elves who were long ago cursed. Their life style is very similar to the Native Americans. They are more adept at magic than dwarves, though less than human. They are the most agile and swiftest off all the races. When Drakus took over, he attempted genocide on the lycans. While he and the rest of Stardonia believes he was successful, there are still Lycans living in secret in the great woods of Stardonia. Magic There are 6 Magical elements, and every sentient race in born into one of them. Should they choose to hone their magical abilities, all magic they use will be under that element. Earth - Earth Magic allows the user to control rocks and foliage. Certain spells will allow the user to control fauna. Water - Water Magic allows one to create and control water. Air - Air Magic allows one to control air. Fire - Fire Magic allows one to create and control water. Light - Light Magic is largely healing magic. One can also create light sources. Dark - dark Magic allows the user to control shadows. The extremely powerful (like Drakus) can give these shadows sentience. Character Sheet

When he was repelled the first time, he vowed he would not let up until it was his. He spent the next 100 years planning and preparing his next attempt, which ended in his death. After he rose to power 20 years ago, Drakus concentrated on ruling his newly acquired domain with an iron fist.

Ever since Drakus took over Stardonia, Thebeus had taken pleasure out of harassing the people and treating them with a sick sense of superiority. He serves Drakus as his "Right Hand." |

Ah, you finished writing down the info! Okay, I have two, this one being an Alternate Self of an established character. Name: Huberta Ansbert Race: Dragon Age: 140 Gender: Female Element: Fire Appearance: Huberta is exceptionally small for a fully-grown dragon; on her hind legs she stands at less than seven feet. She has yellow eyes, pink scales and white wings. Her wingspan is just wider than ten feet. Her choice of clothes vary, though they need to have a low back because of her wings. Abilities: Her Dragon's Breath is legendary; combined with being her being both a Fire elemental and a consumer of gratuitous amounts of alcohol, her fire is intensely hot and overpoweringly smelly. Bio: Huberta has been extremely loud and short-tempered all her life, driving away any potential friends, also gaining a reputation for her ferocity and exceptional fire-breathing. When she was fully grown, she joined Orrious' army and was part of the small band that killed Drakus 100 years ago. As time went by, she mellowed with age and eventually became a bodyguard for the Royal Family. It was by a simple error in judgement that she missed the palace guard that Drakus was using for a vessel. . . Huberta escaped Drakus' grasp and even after twenty years lives in self-exile somewhere in the Great Woods of Stardonia in a tiny Lycan settlement. The Dragoness hates herself for letting Drakus kill the Royal Family she was chosen to protect, and doesn't yet know that her redemption is close at hand. . . - I'll post the other character later, once I work his details out. |

Name: Verdandi Race: Lycan Age: 53 Gender: Female Element: Air Appearance: Dusky gray fur, one ice-blue eye and one brown eye, claw scars on the left side of her face under the blue eye. She stands a little over six feet. Abilities: Limited control over her element since she never had the chance to train and hone it, but is well skilled in hunting, a barbaric style of fishing, thievery when called for it, and the ability to silently slip away on swift feet. Bio: Verdandi was born deep in the Great Wood, far from any contact with dragons, humans, or dwarves. Occasionally an elf would let his- or herself known. But generally this part of the woods was reserved for the Lycan alone. She grew under a household consisting of her father, mother, and three older brothers, two of whom were air elementals like their mother, the last controlling light like their father. Her parents were somewhat disappointed that their final child did not have the light element—whose healing capabilities were sorely needed in the village—but that had no overall effect of their treatment towards the young Verdandi. When old enough for her first hunt, an accident during the exercise ended up killing another young wolf. The incident tagged Verdandi as a murderer and the village exiled her to keep the evil spirits of her actions away from their home. For all those years afterwards, Verdandi lived alone, fending for herself, fighting with the deep-rooted grudge against having not been a light elemental so she could have saved her village-mate, and, even though she knew why they exiled her, for the village’s quick condemnation. A year ago, however, she found a small opportunity to somewhat redeem herself in the terrified blue eyes of a young human boy. She rescued him, and killed most of the offending elves, though it surprised her that their kind would slaughter for pure sport. Since that day she protected the mute human boy and gave him a name, Zev, meaning wolf. Now she is content in raising her adoptive son, though she constantly wonders if it would be better to take him back into capable human hands. ***** Name: Zev (given to him by Verdandi) Race: Human Age: 11 Gender: Male Element: Water Appearance: He’s a little guy with moppy black hair, thin, deep blue eyes, and stands barely at Verdandi’s kneecap. Abilities: His control over water is better than Verdandi can control air, but he views it as a plaything. He cannot create water, or draw it from places, because he hasn’t learned. But when around water he is always seen with it around him, sometimes almost like a shield, or tossing it around like a ball, or some other playful fashion. Bio: Zev was born into a small, forcibly nomadic family on the outskirts of the Great Woods. He was born mute. There his family raised him contentedly until he turned ten and a small band of young Elves slaughtered them all, save the young Zev who was saved when Verdandi appeared. From then on, he followed the lone she-wolf, frequently traveling on her back, little hands clutched into her fur, never even thinking or needing to wonder why this pack-oriented creature lived and traveled alone. **** |

Sounds good, though I wonder if it would be better for that band of elves to be a random group of bandits rather than loyal to Drakus. Makes more sense to Drakus's character. |

Well, her small-for-a-dragon appearance, her short temper, heavy drinking, and the fact that she's a dragon come from (if you can believe it) Akira Kogami of Lucky Star. And I'm still trying to work out the details of my second character. Expect a human male. |

I got my second character figured out now! Name: Anga Oimak Race: Human Age: 15 Gender: Male Element: Air Appearance: Blonde hair, blue eyes, dirty clothes, small stature. Abilities: What he lacks in social skills and physical strength, he makes up for in intelligence and agility. Bio: Anga is a peasant boy living with his uncle in a house that doubles as a bookshop. He has no friends, but he's very likely to make some as he unexpectedly gets caught up in a series of events that might just bring about the downfall of the cruel dragon that he has lived in fear of for his whole life. . . (By the way, he's not particularly based on anybody, but I made him a past life of Misuzu Kamio from AIR. . . *hugs him*) |

Are we going to start this up soon, or are we going to wait for more players? And what kind of idea? |

Ok, so I changed my character. A lot, actually. So here we go. Name: Telzack Durn Race: Dragon Age: 134 Gender: Male Element: Light Appearance: Standing at nearly 10 feet, he is somewhat slender in build but strong since he practices not only his element, and fire breathing, but also swordplay and staves. His blue-black hair reached mid-back, his scales are a deep blue, and his eyes are a copper-gold. Abilities: His abilities are powerful in the light area, but his healing skills are lacking. He prefers the staves over the swords, but is proficient in both. His fire breathing is adequate, and he typically uses it to enhance his light ability. Bio: Telzack sometimes worked as healer during Orrious's rein as king, but spent most of his time outside the palace at the taverns for the company and the party far more than the alcohol. His peaceful, easy-going nature hid his deadly accuracy in throwing not daggers like many expected of the talent, but swords. His main weapon he carried with him constantly: a thick oak branch that towered two feet above his own head. While the weight of what happened 20 years ago does not rest on his own shoulders—after all, he was only hired help—Telzack is waiting for something, anything interesting to happen. |
