BACKGROUND STORY AND PLOT.
In the secluded forests of Avalon, an ancient land full of riches and strange, but wonderful creatres, a lone dragons lands among the towering trees. He is thin and weak, wounded and running for his life. Driven from his colony for a crime he didn't commit.
This dragon is Sauron, the founder of Pelendava, the capital city of Avalon. Over a period of many years, Sauron invited other dragons into Avalon, slowly building a small, but prosperous society. For two decades, Pelendava grew into a large, beautiful city, the heart of Avalon itself. But as all good things cannot last, the peaceful nature of this great city soon became corrupt and violent as Sauron's own on, Silas, attempted to overthrow his father's leadership and take control of Avalon. A voilent battle followed, where many innocent lives were lost. In the end, Sauron was forced to sacrifice his own life to defeat Silas and banished his followers to a dark forest on the far side of Avalon, known as Caronia.
For nearly two thousand years, the city of Pelendava lived in peace. The story of Silas became a legend, then a fabled myth, a fictitious tale instead of history. But although Silas was killed, his followers lived on. Hidden away in the dark mountains of Caronia, the forces of Silas's followers are growing stronger, threatening the very existance of Pelendava and its occupants. Will Pelendava fall into the leadership of Tenebrae, Caronia's dark new leader? Or survive the forces of evil that surround them?

GENERAL RULES.
All BYC rules apply.
Be respectful to others, I think we're all old enough that this should be automatic already.
Keep the off-topic chatter to a minimum, there are plenty of chat threads for that.
No swearing, I think most of the obvious swears won't even show in your post but you shouldn't need to use them anyways.
The only characters that can be used are dragons, this may be a mythical based roleplay but we don't need every mythical creature under the sun running around. The only non-dragon creatures are wild animals that live in the forest, and they are not to be roleplayed as main characters.
Your dragon can be any color, size or shape as long as it is realistic. There are no hot pink or lime green dragons, and none that are crazy large, or small. At most, your dragons may be 30ft tall or long.
COMBAT RULES.
Please use common sense, and be fair. Your character is not invicible and should take injuries where applicable, that includes realistic healing times aswell. A broken bone will not heal in a few days.
No magic or religious miracles.
You may kill another players character as long as it is realistic. Obviously a single dragon cannot kill three others, but if the situation is fair, it is allowed. I know this is much different then other roleplays, but I'm enforcing it to prevent situations where one character goes up against three others and comes out unscathed. If there are any arguments about this, I have the final say.
Any characters used in a battle MUST have a form to go with them, you can't just magically create a whole bunch of new characters just because you're outnumbered. And sending me a whole bunch of forms right before, or during a battle doesn't count!
Keep it relatively PG, I understand that some things have to be said in order for a point to be made, but don't go overboard.
_________________________
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW.
The city of Pelendava is not a camp or city like most on BYC, it is open to all who wish to visit. The only time a dragon(ess) may be denied entry is if he or she has been exiled.
The Darkness is only a form of energy, it cannot be "used" by individual characters for their own personal gain.
The average dragons lifespan is about 125 years.
Caronia is not a nice place. It is not for those who wish to have a cute little evil dragon fantasy. The dragons there are cruel and evil, they will kill you if provoked. It is not a smart idea to show up and start ordering them around and playing the fearless, brave dragon act.
If your character dies I will add it to the "Deceased Characters" section with cause of death and the date. Please PM me this information.

SETTING.
The forests of Avalon are plentiful, with an abundance of food and water for its habitants to use. Pelendava is built on the shores of a large river, and is nestled in between the mountains, providing them with protection and cover. The climate various depending on how high you are. The mountain peaks are snow covered and cold, with little vegitation and the forest floor is hot and humid like a rainforest.
Caronia is in the North, the far side of Avalon. It has the least amount of resources, and it's residents are constantly fighting to survive the harsh conditions. Located near the peak of Mount Mandalla, the tallest mountain in Avalon, it is a rather cold and desolate place.
_________________________

RESIDENTS OF PELENDAVA.
King:
Stephan- A tall, lanky dragon with swirls of dark to light orange covering his body, layered with inky black streaks across his back and wings. He has two fins on either side of his head, each tipped with a small, but razor sharp claw which can be raised or lowered, usually when he is angry or annoyed. His claws don't appear to be very threatening, they can be extended or be retracted into his foot like a cat's claws. He is rather absent-minded and will disappear into his study or the library for hours on end, reading and fiddling with things. Social skills seem to evade him, and he doesn't often take part in negotiations or things that involve in doing an excessive amount of talking. Though it doesn't often show, he loves Camilla dearly, as well as the rest of Pelendava. He is kind hearted and rarely harsh with anyone. (HollyBird24)
Queen:
Camilla- A slender, deep blue dragoness with streaks of lighter blue on her wings. She has a long, spiked tail and two small fins on either side of her face which extend when she is angry. Despite her smaller size, she is quicker than a snake and her opponents often find it hard to match her speed. She is a powerful leader who is benevolent and wise; almost constantly giving off an aura of serenity and composure and rarely displays intense emotions of fear or anger. She often uses humor to make others more comfortable in her presence. Her abilities as a warrior are combined with a clever, cunning mind. She is kind and compassionate, yet despite her skill she is not arrogant or self-important and treats the residents of her city with fairness and respect. (HollyBird24)
Council: (Spots reserved for now)
Amatis- A slender dragoness who is snow white from head to tail with long, graceful wings. Even as a battle hardened warrior, she is strikingly beautiful with gentle curves and a distictive feminine appearance. She is very driven and dedicated and has given her whole life to serve Pelendava. Though she is slim and lithe, she is well-muscled and quick, a very experienced, dangerous warrior. She is warm hearted when the person recieving her empathy deserves it and has no patience for those who disrespect her, or any foolish nonsense. At times she can be harsh, but always has Pelendava's best interests at the forefront of her actions. (HollyBird24)
Dreadnought- Dread is a likeable guy, funny, kind; albeit, a little odd. He posses the temper of an erupting volcano; and the will and patience of the sea. Half Asian lung and half black dragon; he is a fusion of two polar opposites, and can take after either side with the drop of a hat. Strength and grace, brute rage and a compassionate heart. He often finds himself at war... With himself. The first impression of Dread is one of confusion and awe. His long and lithe body seems out of place with most of his features and coloring. His dancing mane of gold and ruby eyes just make him all the more, odd. He has various gold markings on his face, his eyes adorned with flashy eyebrow decor and a gold tear drop directly below. Aside from those, and his mane and claws, he is jet black. Jagged rows of teeth gleam with a rather malevolently light from his smile, although his mother's inherited whiskers, furred ears and gentle eyes soften the effect. Two thick horns curl from either side of his head, following his jaw line down. His wings are large, but lengthy and not very broad. His great tail ends in a paddle shaped weave of tendrils, which aids him both in air and water. Where his endurance falls he makes up with speed and agility. He fails in holding up during long, hard flight-treks; his weight and build putting to much pressure on his wings. However during combat, he is master of the skies, not to mention close-to-earth flying. His agility and maneuverability exceeds most, dodging and using his bludgeoning tail. (Gerbil)
Healer:
Kyra- A young, cheerful dragoness with shimmering gold scales and bright yellow eyes. She is of an average size for a dragoness her age, niether very large nor very small. In the sun her shiny scales seem to glow, and even at night even the smallest bit of light will reflect off of them. She is a very young healer, only becoming so after the premature death of her mentor, Ramira. Some might call her inexperienced, but she makes up for it in her eagerness to learn and so well. She is kind and generous but also very stubborn and somewhat bull headed. With her position also came with it a spot on the council and she has not wasted time in making her voice heard. She has a very logical mind and isn't afraid to push the limits of what is accepted and what is not. (HollyBird24)
Warriors:
Gabriel- A massive, dark red dragon with two large horns sticking out the top of his head and curling slightly outwards. He has large, yellow eyes and long, wide wings with razor sharp spikes running down the length of his body. He is not the fastest, or most agile warrior but makes up for it in his sheer size and physical strength. On the outside he appears very imdimidating and dangerous, but on the inside he is friendly and cheerful, a gentle giant. He is fiercly loyal to Camilla and Pelendava and would give his life to protect them. Because of this he also can get very protective of them around those who are disrespectful or have the intent to harm the dragons who cares for. Even as a young warrior, he is quite aware of things going on in the city and has earned the respect of both Camilla and the council. (HollyBird24)
Alistair- A tall, muscular black dragon with long, wickedly sharp talons. Running down his back, from his head to the tip of his tail is a dark blue stripe which makes him unique. He has a cunning, clever nature and possesses a dry sense of humour and sarcastic wit. Though he is respected by the council, his methods are often considered unorthodox and he doesn't usually agree with them. This defiance makes him unpredictable but his skill and talent both in the air and on the ground make him an exeptional warrior. He is kind, wise, and patient, preferring to resolve disputes without engaging in a fight. (HollyBird24)
Saphira- A somewhat small, but well muscled dragoness. She has a certain presence that surrounds her, an air of quiet dignity, a taste of royalty. Her scales are a deep, saphire blue but her belly is bright gold, with gold swirls present on her wings. Her eyes are a deep, penetrating blue. She always keeps her ebony claws sharp, a physical sign of her prowess in battle. Two small horns grace her head, but they don't detract from her good looks. She is very kind to everyone she meets, and her quiet dignity seems to calm those around her. She is incredibly loyal and will not hesitate to leap into battle for her family and friends. She does not do so without thought and is not hot'headed, only loving. (Quinn4321)
Zinerva- Instead of walking on all fours, she walks upon two larger limbs in the back and has small, Tyrannosaurus-like arms up front. Her deep green scales are large, rough, and pointed, acting as a sufficient amount of armor during battles. Zinerva's throat scales offer more protection than those spread about the rest of her body by being larger in size, and happen to be a bronze-ish tone instead of green. Her eyes glow a vicious frost blue, and are naturally lined in black. Sharp scales shoot off from her cheeks before her skin merges into her neck, while two graceful elk horns sweep backwards upon the crest of her head, an ocean-blue orb at the ends of each. Just like her horns, her wings are tipped in orbs. A thick mane that matches her complection cascades down from her neck, and grows longer at her chest. It continues again at her tail, and ends inches before her irregularly shaped tail pike. Her temper is fiery and her demeanor is very tomboyish; some say as the result of being raised by male dragons. Ever since her mother was killed, she had always wanted to become a fierce warrior in order to fulfill her mother's own dream, and to someday avenge her death. But that day isn't today. Zinerva still has plenty more to learn about herself, her past, and fighting. (Zinnia Hen)
Megan- Known to most as "Maggie", Megan is an average sized, compact dragoness. She is well muscled and very strong for her size, but not so large and bulky that she is not quick and agile. Her scales are a light grey color with flecks of white and black around her neck and belly area. Instead of horns she has two antennas that sit on top of her head just behind her ears. They are similar to those seen on a cricket and help her hear and sense things that would be impossible for another dragon to pick up. She has a slight maternal instinct, being the mother of Tanis, and can become protective over those who are weaker then herself. Due to being raised with her brother, Gabriel, she learned to stick up for herself at a young age. She is a very independant thinker and doesn't like others trying to better her. She has the natural instinct of a warrior and fights bravely and with honor whenever it is required. (HollyBird24)
Tanis- A pure charcol grey colored dragoness with no specks of anything dotting her scales. She is the youngest warrior in Pelendava, and is still small compared to the others but is still growing. What she lacks in size she makes up in strength, having a similar, compact body like her mother. She can be very stubborn and bull headed at times, but is very intelligent. She prefers to use strategy and cleverness to defeat her opponents instead of fighting them head on, and has even fooled some of the senior warriors with her tricks. At times she can be over-confident and boastful, but has a good heart and always the bests interests of her city in mind. (HollyBird24)
Adeline- A relatively slight, slender dragoness with soft looking, off-white scales that could be described as "creamy". She has round blue eyes, a narrow face and high, pronounced cheek bones. Overall, she looks hardly anything like a warrior when in fact, she is one of the most highly trained, succesful warriors in Pelendava. Only a select few dragons even know of her existance as she does not actually live in Pelendava. She was trained by Jester, a highly skilled but crooked warrior who was exiled from the city many years ago. Since Adeline and Jester maintained a close bond even after her training was complete, Camilla suspected that they were working together. This was never proved, but Adeline was never able to regain Camilla's trust. It is one of the darkest kept secrets in the history of Camilla's rein as queen. She remains a warrior officially, but participates in secret missions organized by Camilla and the select few who know of her, without the consent of the council. Due to her delicate appearance she is highly deceptive and cunning, fueled by the rage that her city doesn't completely trust her for something she didn't do. (HollyBird24)
Sapphire- Her head is adorned with two ebony horns coming out straight back. She has sapphire spikes running down her neck, back, and tail. Her wings are sleek and that allows her to move quickly. Her teeth, and claws are ebony and her eyes are emerald green. She is sweet and has a tender heart, loves to sing and dance and will fight for her city. (Trixie Belden)
Civilians:
Samuel- A large, dark green mottled dragon with two long, green horns that stick out the back of his head and curve slightly upwards. He has multiple spikes on the side of his head, all pointing backwards and curving outwards like his horns. His long, elegant wings are now stiff and wrinkled with age, and his once powerful body is thin and fragile. Despite his aged appearance, it isn't hard to see that he was once a very powerful warrior who was to be feared. Camilla invited him to join the council as a civilian because of his wisdom and experience. He is wise and rather kind, often seen cracking jokes which he claims makes him feel young again. During the afternoon his home is open to all hatchlings, and some learners, who come to listen to his many stories about life in Pelendava when he was young. (HollyBird24)
Ester- A grizzled old dragoness with yellow teeth, cracked and broken with age. Her wings and cracked and siezed, never to open and fly again. Her once beautiful red and orange scales are now dull and warped with age, falling out in some places. She is the oldest dragon in Pelendava, at nearly 175 years old. When she was younger she was part of the council as the healer, and knows a lot about herbs and plants, including ones that are not used anymore. During her life as a healer she was attacked while out collecting herbs and badly beaten, causing her to lose the sight in her left eye. She believed her attacker came from Caronia and has believed it ever since, though nobody ever believed her. As she got older the citizens of Pelendava began to call her crazy, but her mind has always worked just fine. Even at the ripe old age of 173, she has maintained her snappy temper and sarcastic wit, and is usually in a foul mood. (HollyBird24)
Chantal- A bright young dragoness. Her shiny silver scales ripple down her slender body, similar in texture to that of a seals, but, only because her scales are so small in size. She has a somewhat long, but thick next alike in stature to her tail- which is much longer. Her head is normally held high in a magestic manner, showing off her regal ornamentation's; two ears that are wing like in a similar style to her wings, but small enough to be, well, ears. She has stunning blue eyes that stick out amongst her scaly skin. Her wings are very large, best for soaring high in the air, not for making sharp agile turns. As for her personality, she's a nice soul who means no harm to anyone. She's very easy to get along with, since she really doesn't like to argue or fight. In a few words, Chantal is sweet, kind, and a good listener. (chickendiva25)
Ruth- A middle aged dragoness with kind, gentle green eyes. Her scales are a faded orange color and her claws are blunt and dull from working as a farmer her entire life. Her appearance is very worn, almost old. She was never given the opportunity to become a warrior as her parents didn't believe in violence and believed that she would be much more useful to the city as a farmer. As a farmer she grows the herbs and plants that the healer uses. She is kind hearted and generous, very willing to give up everything she has to help another in need. She is the mother of Amaria and Mayella and supports them fully in their dreams to become warriors. (HollyBird24)
Niernen- A male dragon with blue and black markings over his mainly white scales. The skin covering his wingbones is black and the black fades out onto his wing membrane with an increasingly lighter blue starting with navy blue and ending in a almost white blue. Like Brisingur he has crests over his eyes that extend in long tail like things that are two and a half feet long. Behind his right eye he has a blue mark edged in black that looks like an orchid (hence his name). His head is two feet long and a foot wide, his neck is five feet long, his torso is six feet long and his tail is elevan feet long, he is six feet tall at the withers and his wings are fourteen feet long each (twenty-eight foot wingspan total). He is slightly more muscular then Brisingur, but only because he is a male. He is very kind and sometimes flirty, he secretly has a crush on Brisingur and will do anything to protect others. He doesn’t like seeing others hurt and he won’t trust you for awhile but you can eventually earn his trust. (chickenlover237)
Brisingur- A slender white dragon with a very feminine apearance. Her entire body is pure white and she has a diamond imbedded in her chest, her scales are incredibly durable and are very shiny. It is dangerous to look at her when she is in the sun because of how brilliant her scales are. Her wings are laced with black flower patterns on the skin covering her wing bones and it continues out covering the wing membrane, she also has some of this lacy flower pattern in the middle of her forehead and on her feet. Her snout is slender and she has long crests over her eyes, the crests potrude over her eyes slightly and then extend back in a long tail like thing (like a chinese dragon's wisker but different slightly). She has white spikes running all the way down her back and down her tail, her neck is very slender like the rest of her body but her chest is slightly wider. Her head is one and a half feet long and half a foot wide, her neck is four feet long, her body is five feet long, her tail is seven feet long. She stands five feet tall at the withers, her wings are thirteen feet long each (twenty-six feet total). She may look like an angel but she is incredibly snappy and untrusting, she takes first impressions very seriously and usually if she gets a bad feeling about someone the first time she meets them, she never trusts them. Her personality is like her name, firey and unpredictable. When she comes to trust you she is the sweetest dragoness alive (it seems), she is sometimes a flirt but likes to play "hard to get" with any male that shows affection to her, it will take awhile but she is unwilling to give her heart away too quickly. (chickenlover237)
Charlotte- A small, soft spoken dragoness who rarely speaks out. She is very quite and conservative, never voicing her opinions or raising her voice. Her scales are a soft, dark blue color and cover every inch of her small, delicate frame. Unlike most farmers, her claws are not dull and her scales are not faded as she is still fairly young. Her tail is long and slim with tiny spikes running down the back. Her parents wanted her to become a warrior but seen realized that it wasn't the path for her. She is too soft and generally fragile, both physically and emotionally. However, despite this "softness" she does display the occasional hint of bravery, suggesting that underneath everything else she has a harder spot. (HollyBird24)
Learners:
Mayella- A slender, dark green dragoness affectionatly known as "Kat". On top of her dark green color is a lighter layer of light blue spots dappled across her flank. She had two ear fins on either side of her face which she can extend and retract at will, the only time she uses them however, if when she is frightened or angry. Across her back, from her neck to her tail, she has long, barbed spikes that stick out at all times. At her tail, these spikes end in a wicked ball which can be used to hit her opponents. When she is with her sister, Amaria (Kit), she is quite chatty and very easily distracted. However, when she is alone is is rather quiet and very attentive. She is soft spoken and kind, sometimes timid and very shy, not likely to speak out against others. Despite her quite, humble nature she is very protective of Amaria (Kit) and would do anything to protect her. (HollyBird24)
Amaria- A muscular, dark green dragoness known as "Kit". She is almost identical in color to her twin sister, Mayella (Kat), and has the same spikes down her back and a spiked ball at the end of her tail. Her personality, however, is almost opposite to her sister... at least when they are seperated. She is a fast, agile flyer, strong enough to carry very heavy loads through the air. Her personality is fiery and energetic, easily irritated and not fond of people who challenge her or attempt to present any amount of authority over her. She is very confident in her abilities, sometimes a bit overconfident and will rarely, if ever, give in to anyone. She isn't quick to trust those she doesn't know and is very independent. Despite her defiant nature she is known to form unqiue bonds with people whom she is close to and develops an extreme sense of protectiveness over them, such as her sister, and her mentor, Gabriel. (HollyBird24)
Inigo- A tall, lean dragon with thick, wiry muscles and broad, well built shoulders. At first glance he appears completely black, but if you look closely, there are multiple colors woven into his sleek dark scales. This unusual pattern makes him appear black as night in the sunlight, but many different colors in the night, especially under the moonlight. His eyes are very dark, almost completely black and are distant and cold, as though he is never happy. He is young but carries the burdens of a much older dragon. Unlike most dragons in Pelendava, Inigo was born and raised for several years outside of the city. He is very secretive of his past, and often gets angry when others bring it up. His temper is unpredictable and dangerous, but underneath he does have a caring, gentle side, though very few ever see this side of him. (HollyBird24)
Aethera- A long, thin dragoness with pale blue-grey scales. Her eyes are a mixture of honey-browns. Her pupils are cat-like. She has two long, slightly curved horns that point backwards and slightly outwards. She is rather quiet and quick and nimble. Her accuracy is not that great, however. She is better at dodging attacks than attacking. She enjoys reading, flying and climbing. She does not like to hurt others, and anything even slightly gory makes her sick. She often doubts that she will ever be a warrior. (NixNoodleNumbat)
Neikea- A more robust built dragoness. Her scales are very dark red. Her eyes are plain black. She has two sets of horns on her head; two just behind her nostrils, and two larger ones on top of her head. Her tail is shaped like an arrowhead. She enjoys exploring, and asks lots of questions. She's quite loud, and not afraid to fight. Although she is determined to become a warrior, she is not the best student, as she is easily distracted. (NixNoodleNumbat)
Zynoth- A white scaled dragon, very muscular and large for his age. He has a long neck, a long tair, great powerful wings and sharp claws and teeth. He is a bit cocky but knows when he is outmatched. Although he is not the smartest dragon he has a true heart and will help anyone in need. He is brave, but scared of some things. (pekinduck<3er)
Raven- A slender, agile dragoness with scales as dark as night. She has dark blue eyes like the depth of the ocean and claws like glass, although they cannot be broken easily. She has small spikes down her back but they are not dangerous during a fight. She has large wings but when they aren't open they look smaller then they actually are. She has a iridescent black belly which shines a blue/green color in the sunlight. Her scales are smooth, not like leather. She is a dragoness with fine qualities, not one who likes being treated with disrespect. She has a strong sense of justice and won't tolerate cruelty or anarchy in any form. She is cunning and very kind to those who treat her right. She is elegant and can stand her ground when needed, but she does know when she is outmatched in numbers or skill. She has traveled the world and has many stories to tell, but she hasn't been around many other dragons very much. (pekinduck<3er)
Younglings:
_________________________
RESIDENTS OF CARONIA.
Leader:
Tenebrae- Standing at a height that towers over many dragons, with a large and powerful build, Tenebrae’s size alone is intimidating. As if that’s not enough, the massive dragon’s chest is armored with sharp-ended plates, and he has sharp spines on the sides of his jaw with large horns that curl around his face like those of a ram. He has four, starkly-contrasted orange eyes, and teeth that are thick and sharp, with his top and bottom fangs exposed on his lips. His body scales are a shade of deep, unsaturated purple that is so dark, that it is almost black, and his chest-plates, horns, and claws are a dark ivory color. He has a cold and harsh nature to match his appearance, with a vile sense of humor, and he toys with death, like the lives of his victims mean nothing to him. War is his idea of entertainment. A direct descendent of Silas, his bloodline is treated like royalty. (BirdNut)
Council: (Spots reserved for now)
Gaia- She is tall, lean, elegant, and streamlined in build with a regal, upright stature. A rare gem among dragons, Gaia is a Faerie dragon – a subspecies known for their delicate appearance and extravagant markings. Gaia is no exception. With a mainly earthy color palette, she is mostly deep olive in color with cream underparts, decorated with lighter green frills, and her wings have flashy, butterfly-reminiscent markings in chocolate brown, green, and hues of sky blue. However beautiful, Gaia can be likened to a rose; lovely to look at, but not for touching. She is often cold, and can be very bitter with a touch of haughtiness unless you earn her respect. Gaia, being such a pretty little thing, was teased and humiliated when she wanted to apply to be a warrior for Sauron’s kingdom, she said she’d prove herself by becoming a warrior elsewhere. She turned her back on the kingdom and joined Silas’s army, and has more than proven herself. (BirdNut)
Jester- A large, inky black dragon with streaks of flurescent green running down his back, sides and across his wings. He has long, sharp teeth and a forked tongue like a snake. His eyes are a sharp green color, and glitter like chips of green ice when he is angry. Many years ago he was a warrior of Pelendava but was banished because of his violent, defiant nature. He happened on Caronia by accident and was accepted as a warrior, eventually working his way up the ranks to one of Tenebrae's most trusted, elite warriors. He's determined, quick to judge and even as a senior warrior he is mocking and snarky, quick to anger which often leads to a fight. With the exception of maybe Tenebrae he has almost no respect for anyone. He is belligerent and often seems undifferent to the reasons for his violence, as if war were a game, a pastime for him. Despite this strong, defiant nature he does have a soft spot, burried underneath the thickly woven strands of darkness that corrupt his heart. (HollyBird24)
Healer:
Voodoo- A sub-species of black dragon, smaller and more fine featured. She has a purple feathered mane the begins with a mohawk and runs from her forehead down. Three pairs of golden horns crown her face and violet eyes, one set sweeping down either side the others tipped towards the sky. She is not particularly evil, more or less just carrying on the family business. Her family has almost always been healers, and almost always associated with the darker side of it. She grew up in an environment very similar to Caronia, although its population consisted wholly of her species. She lacks the strength and armour of a warrior, but is proud and young and not very good at admitting it. (Gerbil)
Warriors:
Gilda- Large and muscular for a dragoness, Gilda is tomboyish in both appearance and in personality. She is ink-black with slightly fluorescent orange stylized skeletal markings, eyes of the same orange, and massive, leathery wings fringed in orange as well. Gilda grew up in a high-standing family with a lot of expectations. When Gilda hatched, they hoped for a lovely, well-mannered young lady. That well-mannered young lady turned out to enjoy rolling in the dirt with the boys, rather than learning different nest-making techniques. Feeling out of place in her family, Gilda left her nest back in Palendava when she felt old enough to make her own decisions, and when some Caronian warriors witnessed her get into a street fight with a small gang of muggers and win, they offered her to join their ranks. She is mostly responsible for training and managing the warriors; a commander of sorts. (BirdNut)
Lilith- A sleek, elegant dragoness with a mottled pattern of dark blues, greens and purples. She is quite small, and not as physically strong as her fellow warriors, but dangerously quick. Her wings are long and narrow, allowing her to fly quickly and make sharp manoeuvres in mid-flight. Her tongue is as sharp as her claws and she is very confident, highly intelligent and charismatic, but somewhat of a psychopath. She is power-hungry and ruthless, displaying many narcissistic trairs and doesn't seem to care about the needs or feelings of others. Despite this cruel nature, she is surprisingly deceptive, and can make herself appear vulnerable and unthreatening if she wishes. This trait, combined with her intelligence makes her a clever manipulator, and a deadly foe. (HollyBird24)
Silvanus- Silvanus is stunning to behold, ornately patterned and alluringly colored; standing out in a crowd is quite easy for him. Although his colors serve as a warning to others, just like most of the creatures of his homeland; poison is his gift, and curse. Each of his spikes are tipped in it, his scales and bite laced with it. The promise of a slow acting, torturous revenge for anyone who dare disgruntle the dazzling serpent. He has somewhat of a split personalty, instinct fighting against and mind. Overall he is a fiendish creature with a sadistic taste for torture. He can come off as kind, always inquisitive and eloquent with his words. He has a unique talent for recalling even the most minute details of a conversation, so in fact he is more or less an experienced interrogator than a smooth conversationalist. But he has a love of the forest, odd for any creature as evil as he. A love for the birds, and the beasts that inhabit it. If he knows what he is, he's not telling. Lacking the flame of most dragons, his is replaced with the poison that runs through his veins. It varies in strength, and he can lower/raise the dosage at will. It is corrosive, at it's least it can cause irritation, at it's worst it can eat through bone and scale without end. Although his supply is not unlimited, he fights with claw and fang, using the deadly spray as a last defense. (Gerbil)
Artemis- A full 30 feet tall, a truly huge dragon. His claws are long and sharp, he had spikes going down his back and he has ridges on his chest. His eyes are pure white, no pupils and he had six horns coming out of his head. He can breathe acid, and at the end of his tail is a heavy club-like ball. His wingspan is fourty feet, on top of all this, every spike and ridge on his body is tipped with acidic poison which will burn away the strongest of stone. His entire body, even his wings, is coated with protective scales. His only weakness is his jaw, but it is protected by sharp ridges, he is a born fighter. He is extremely smart, he came from the plane of darkness and he is a cunning fighter, a cruel dragon. He will work those under him to their limits and makes no moves to hide. If he is challenged, he will fight, he has a den under Mount Mandalla, will toy with dragons for sheer enjoyment and will set cocky dragons in their place. He is the image of fear and cruelety, you do not want to pick a fight with him, or anger him. (ParagonGuide13)
Civilians:
Aglaia- Aglaia is a shapely, slender dragoness, dark slate gray with maroon wings, and earfins. She has thick, plated horns beginning from her brow-line, extending back and curving slightly upward. A loyal friend to many, Aglaia is always one to listen rather than talk. She is quite unusually soft-hearted for being a Caronian. It is because of this that she was given the rather lowly rank of being a 'mother', and that she is not very respected among higher ranks – especially Gaia and Lilith. (BirdNut)
Christina- A small, slender dragoness with beautiful, mottled blue and purple scales. She is quite pretty and rather delicate looking with gentle features and large blue eyes. Unlike most dragons in Caronia, she is soft spoken and humble, rarely speaking out against anyone. When she was very young her parents were killed, she would have died within a few days if Tenebrae had not taken her in. However, instead of training her to become one of his warriors, he made her his personal servant. Now that she is a "teen" dragoness, she tends to almost all of his needs, bringing him food and doing his bidding. Though she would never voice her feelings out loud, she secretly hates Tenebrae and his warriors because of their cruelty to her. (HollyBird24)
Rauthr- A deep navy blue colored dragoness her iris’s are so big her eyes look almost completely black with only a little bit of color, the color of her eyes is a light blue. She has four horns on the back of her head, one set of horns is two thirds of a foot long and the second set is a third of a foot long. Her head is one and a half feet long and half a foot wide, her neck is four feet long, her torso is five feet long and her tail is nine feet long and like a whip, she is four feet tall at the withers, each of her wings are twelve feet long (twenty-four foot wingspan total). She is a very slender dragoness and can fly incredibly fast. Her teeth, claws and horns are snow white in contrast to her dark scales. She is dark and cruel, if she can she will use other dragons to her will, she was trained by a warrior but decided she didn’t want to be a warrior at the last minuet so technically she finished her warrior training but wasn’t a warrior. (chickenlover237)
Learners:
Tisep- A slender dragoness with a sleek build, allowing her to move quickly. Most of her scales are a smokey charcol color and she has a thin blue stripe down her sides. Her wings are smokey black with stripes of blue running down the base of each wing. Her eyes are a sharp blue which glitter in the light and her tongue is forked like a snake. She is sharp tongued and defiant, often looking down on dragons who are below her. Sometimes this can get her into trouble, but she does respect those above her. She uses her wits to get her out of tough situations. (OwlLover)
Younglings:
Pandora- The child of Tenebrae performing stud duty with Gilda in an effort to keep his bloodlines alive and to have more warriors for Caronia’s militia, Pandora may seem entirely secure, but there is a feeling of insignificance that the quiet little thing hides deep within. She is the silent, sentimental type, and is not nearly as talkative as the other hatchlings. She inherited features from both of her parents. She seems as though she’ll grow to be larger than her mother, and her scales are a purplish hue, dark, but not quite as much as her father. Her wing and frill webbing is all solid orange, with hues of yellow at the base. Overall, she is a very flashy young dragoness. (BirdNut)
Falcon- Falcon has a grey chest and the rest of his body is black. Four small black horns come from his head. From his neck down to the end of his tail there are spikes. His wings are sleek, he is eight feet long, five feet tall and has a wingspan of ten feet. He is very agile, is not a strong dragon, or a strong flyer. He is very quiet and tries to stay out of the way. If he is stuck in a fight between dragons he tries to get away from it, he can not fight yet because his claws are not very long. (Falconry)
_________________________
ROGUES.
Belial- A muscular dragon with black tiger stripes across most of his body. Under his black stripes, his color often changes as he has the ability, like a Chameleon to blend into his surroundings. He is sleek and quick footed with razor sharp teeth, jagged like a sharks. On each wing he has a long, curved clawwhich he uses for fighting and climbing if he needs to. His eyes also change color with his mood and his outward appearance, they are sharp and calculating, always thinking about something. He has no loyalty to Pelendava or Caronia but will aly with either side if it benefits him. He is one of the few dragons alive who knows that both cities exist, as a rogue, he sees and hears many things which dragons in the cities do not. He is clever and crafty, a truly dark hearted soul who enjoys nothing more then causing pain and suffering. Despite this, he is rather charming. (HollyBird24)
Blukina- Short tempered, brave and sometimes reckless. She grows close bonds with those she knows and is protective of them. She lurks in the forests around Pelendava, occasionally visiting the city. She is a mind blue color all with and her head is adorned with spikes that protrude from the back of her head like horns. The end of her tail has a webbing "rudder" (similar to the Night Fury dragon). Her eyes are a golden yellow color and her pupils are mild slits most of the time. Her wings have spikes at each wrists which she uses to fight with. (K-12 Chickens)
Bianka- A small, but thick bodied dragoness. Her scales are a deep maroon color on her back which deepens to blood red on her stomach. Her head is large and ferocious, and it is adorned with a short goats beard. Her slanted cat eyes are midnight black and her tail is sort and muscular with rows of tiny, harmless spikes that cannot do much damage. She is most suited for the air and has large, powerful wings. She is able to breath fire with some concentration and can also exhale a clear gas which messes with the nerves of other dragons, causing their muscles to twitch and spasm. However, the effects are not fatal and last only about an hour. Her last skill is quite interesting, if she meets a male dragon who she has never met before, she is sometimes able to change the color of her eyes. This can be very seductive but she is not able to control it. She is cool, calculating and cruel. She never loses her temper and simply keeps her emotions of anger of viciousness inside. She is constantly trying to better herself and will do just about anything to achieve things. She is impersonal and harsh and would kill her 'friends' if a reward was offered. She can also be vengeful and is not a creature to mess with. (Quinn4321)

DECEASED CHARACTERS.
Henry- A tall, brown dragon with long, muscular legs and shoulders. His eyes were a dark brown, almost black color and he had two fins on either side of his head which he could open and close at will. He was the mate of Ruth, although slightly younger by a few years. He was wise and compassionate, but also somewhat knowledgeable in the world of combat. He trained alongside Alistair to become a warrior but backed out at the last minute. Technically, he was nearly fully trained, but hadn't ever put the skills he learned into an actual battle. He lived as a humble farmer, and proud father of his twin daughters, Amaria and Mayella who are following the path of a warrior. He was killed protecting Charlotte by a Caronian warrior named Silvanus. 07/17/12 (HollyBird24)
In the secluded forests of Avalon, an ancient land full of riches and strange, but wonderful creatres, a lone dragons lands among the towering trees. He is thin and weak, wounded and running for his life. Driven from his colony for a crime he didn't commit.
This dragon is Sauron, the founder of Pelendava, the capital city of Avalon. Over a period of many years, Sauron invited other dragons into Avalon, slowly building a small, but prosperous society. For two decades, Pelendava grew into a large, beautiful city, the heart of Avalon itself. But as all good things cannot last, the peaceful nature of this great city soon became corrupt and violent as Sauron's own on, Silas, attempted to overthrow his father's leadership and take control of Avalon. A voilent battle followed, where many innocent lives were lost. In the end, Sauron was forced to sacrifice his own life to defeat Silas and banished his followers to a dark forest on the far side of Avalon, known as Caronia.
For nearly two thousand years, the city of Pelendava lived in peace. The story of Silas became a legend, then a fabled myth, a fictitious tale instead of history. But although Silas was killed, his followers lived on. Hidden away in the dark mountains of Caronia, the forces of Silas's followers are growing stronger, threatening the very existance of Pelendava and its occupants. Will Pelendava fall into the leadership of Tenebrae, Caronia's dark new leader? Or survive the forces of evil that surround them?

GENERAL RULES.
All BYC rules apply.
Be respectful to others, I think we're all old enough that this should be automatic already.
Keep the off-topic chatter to a minimum, there are plenty of chat threads for that.
No swearing, I think most of the obvious swears won't even show in your post but you shouldn't need to use them anyways.
The only characters that can be used are dragons, this may be a mythical based roleplay but we don't need every mythical creature under the sun running around. The only non-dragon creatures are wild animals that live in the forest, and they are not to be roleplayed as main characters.
Your dragon can be any color, size or shape as long as it is realistic. There are no hot pink or lime green dragons, and none that are crazy large, or small. At most, your dragons may be 30ft tall or long.
COMBAT RULES.
Please use common sense, and be fair. Your character is not invicible and should take injuries where applicable, that includes realistic healing times aswell. A broken bone will not heal in a few days.
No magic or religious miracles.
You may kill another players character as long as it is realistic. Obviously a single dragon cannot kill three others, but if the situation is fair, it is allowed. I know this is much different then other roleplays, but I'm enforcing it to prevent situations where one character goes up against three others and comes out unscathed. If there are any arguments about this, I have the final say.
Any characters used in a battle MUST have a form to go with them, you can't just magically create a whole bunch of new characters just because you're outnumbered. And sending me a whole bunch of forms right before, or during a battle doesn't count!
Keep it relatively PG, I understand that some things have to be said in order for a point to be made, but don't go overboard.
_________________________
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW.
The city of Pelendava is not a camp or city like most on BYC, it is open to all who wish to visit. The only time a dragon(ess) may be denied entry is if he or she has been exiled.
The Darkness is only a form of energy, it cannot be "used" by individual characters for their own personal gain.
The average dragons lifespan is about 125 years.
Caronia is not a nice place. It is not for those who wish to have a cute little evil dragon fantasy. The dragons there are cruel and evil, they will kill you if provoked. It is not a smart idea to show up and start ordering them around and playing the fearless, brave dragon act.
If your character dies I will add it to the "Deceased Characters" section with cause of death and the date. Please PM me this information.

_________________________
SETTING.
The forests of Avalon are plentiful, with an abundance of food and water for its habitants to use. Pelendava is built on the shores of a large river, and is nestled in between the mountains, providing them with protection and cover. The climate various depending on how high you are. The mountain peaks are snow covered and cold, with little vegitation and the forest floor is hot and humid like a rainforest.
Caronia is in the North, the far side of Avalon. It has the least amount of resources, and it's residents are constantly fighting to survive the harsh conditions. Located near the peak of Mount Mandalla, the tallest mountain in Avalon, it is a rather cold and desolate place.
_________________________

RESIDENTS OF PELENDAVA.
King:
Stephan- A tall, lanky dragon with swirls of dark to light orange covering his body, layered with inky black streaks across his back and wings. He has two fins on either side of his head, each tipped with a small, but razor sharp claw which can be raised or lowered, usually when he is angry or annoyed. His claws don't appear to be very threatening, they can be extended or be retracted into his foot like a cat's claws. He is rather absent-minded and will disappear into his study or the library for hours on end, reading and fiddling with things. Social skills seem to evade him, and he doesn't often take part in negotiations or things that involve in doing an excessive amount of talking. Though it doesn't often show, he loves Camilla dearly, as well as the rest of Pelendava. He is kind hearted and rarely harsh with anyone. (HollyBird24)
Queen:
Camilla- A slender, deep blue dragoness with streaks of lighter blue on her wings. She has a long, spiked tail and two small fins on either side of her face which extend when she is angry. Despite her smaller size, she is quicker than a snake and her opponents often find it hard to match her speed. She is a powerful leader who is benevolent and wise; almost constantly giving off an aura of serenity and composure and rarely displays intense emotions of fear or anger. She often uses humor to make others more comfortable in her presence. Her abilities as a warrior are combined with a clever, cunning mind. She is kind and compassionate, yet despite her skill she is not arrogant or self-important and treats the residents of her city with fairness and respect. (HollyBird24)
Council: (Spots reserved for now)
Amatis- A slender dragoness who is snow white from head to tail with long, graceful wings. Even as a battle hardened warrior, she is strikingly beautiful with gentle curves and a distictive feminine appearance. She is very driven and dedicated and has given her whole life to serve Pelendava. Though she is slim and lithe, she is well-muscled and quick, a very experienced, dangerous warrior. She is warm hearted when the person recieving her empathy deserves it and has no patience for those who disrespect her, or any foolish nonsense. At times she can be harsh, but always has Pelendava's best interests at the forefront of her actions. (HollyBird24)
Dreadnought- Dread is a likeable guy, funny, kind; albeit, a little odd. He posses the temper of an erupting volcano; and the will and patience of the sea. Half Asian lung and half black dragon; he is a fusion of two polar opposites, and can take after either side with the drop of a hat. Strength and grace, brute rage and a compassionate heart. He often finds himself at war... With himself. The first impression of Dread is one of confusion and awe. His long and lithe body seems out of place with most of his features and coloring. His dancing mane of gold and ruby eyes just make him all the more, odd. He has various gold markings on his face, his eyes adorned with flashy eyebrow decor and a gold tear drop directly below. Aside from those, and his mane and claws, he is jet black. Jagged rows of teeth gleam with a rather malevolently light from his smile, although his mother's inherited whiskers, furred ears and gentle eyes soften the effect. Two thick horns curl from either side of his head, following his jaw line down. His wings are large, but lengthy and not very broad. His great tail ends in a paddle shaped weave of tendrils, which aids him both in air and water. Where his endurance falls he makes up with speed and agility. He fails in holding up during long, hard flight-treks; his weight and build putting to much pressure on his wings. However during combat, he is master of the skies, not to mention close-to-earth flying. His agility and maneuverability exceeds most, dodging and using his bludgeoning tail. (Gerbil)
Healer:
Kyra- A young, cheerful dragoness with shimmering gold scales and bright yellow eyes. She is of an average size for a dragoness her age, niether very large nor very small. In the sun her shiny scales seem to glow, and even at night even the smallest bit of light will reflect off of them. She is a very young healer, only becoming so after the premature death of her mentor, Ramira. Some might call her inexperienced, but she makes up for it in her eagerness to learn and so well. She is kind and generous but also very stubborn and somewhat bull headed. With her position also came with it a spot on the council and she has not wasted time in making her voice heard. She has a very logical mind and isn't afraid to push the limits of what is accepted and what is not. (HollyBird24)
Warriors:
Gabriel- A massive, dark red dragon with two large horns sticking out the top of his head and curling slightly outwards. He has large, yellow eyes and long, wide wings with razor sharp spikes running down the length of his body. He is not the fastest, or most agile warrior but makes up for it in his sheer size and physical strength. On the outside he appears very imdimidating and dangerous, but on the inside he is friendly and cheerful, a gentle giant. He is fiercly loyal to Camilla and Pelendava and would give his life to protect them. Because of this he also can get very protective of them around those who are disrespectful or have the intent to harm the dragons who cares for. Even as a young warrior, he is quite aware of things going on in the city and has earned the respect of both Camilla and the council. (HollyBird24)
Alistair- A tall, muscular black dragon with long, wickedly sharp talons. Running down his back, from his head to the tip of his tail is a dark blue stripe which makes him unique. He has a cunning, clever nature and possesses a dry sense of humour and sarcastic wit. Though he is respected by the council, his methods are often considered unorthodox and he doesn't usually agree with them. This defiance makes him unpredictable but his skill and talent both in the air and on the ground make him an exeptional warrior. He is kind, wise, and patient, preferring to resolve disputes without engaging in a fight. (HollyBird24)
Saphira- A somewhat small, but well muscled dragoness. She has a certain presence that surrounds her, an air of quiet dignity, a taste of royalty. Her scales are a deep, saphire blue but her belly is bright gold, with gold swirls present on her wings. Her eyes are a deep, penetrating blue. She always keeps her ebony claws sharp, a physical sign of her prowess in battle. Two small horns grace her head, but they don't detract from her good looks. She is very kind to everyone she meets, and her quiet dignity seems to calm those around her. She is incredibly loyal and will not hesitate to leap into battle for her family and friends. She does not do so without thought and is not hot'headed, only loving. (Quinn4321)
Zinerva- Instead of walking on all fours, she walks upon two larger limbs in the back and has small, Tyrannosaurus-like arms up front. Her deep green scales are large, rough, and pointed, acting as a sufficient amount of armor during battles. Zinerva's throat scales offer more protection than those spread about the rest of her body by being larger in size, and happen to be a bronze-ish tone instead of green. Her eyes glow a vicious frost blue, and are naturally lined in black. Sharp scales shoot off from her cheeks before her skin merges into her neck, while two graceful elk horns sweep backwards upon the crest of her head, an ocean-blue orb at the ends of each. Just like her horns, her wings are tipped in orbs. A thick mane that matches her complection cascades down from her neck, and grows longer at her chest. It continues again at her tail, and ends inches before her irregularly shaped tail pike. Her temper is fiery and her demeanor is very tomboyish; some say as the result of being raised by male dragons. Ever since her mother was killed, she had always wanted to become a fierce warrior in order to fulfill her mother's own dream, and to someday avenge her death. But that day isn't today. Zinerva still has plenty more to learn about herself, her past, and fighting. (Zinnia Hen)
Megan- Known to most as "Maggie", Megan is an average sized, compact dragoness. She is well muscled and very strong for her size, but not so large and bulky that she is not quick and agile. Her scales are a light grey color with flecks of white and black around her neck and belly area. Instead of horns she has two antennas that sit on top of her head just behind her ears. They are similar to those seen on a cricket and help her hear and sense things that would be impossible for another dragon to pick up. She has a slight maternal instinct, being the mother of Tanis, and can become protective over those who are weaker then herself. Due to being raised with her brother, Gabriel, she learned to stick up for herself at a young age. She is a very independant thinker and doesn't like others trying to better her. She has the natural instinct of a warrior and fights bravely and with honor whenever it is required. (HollyBird24)
Tanis- A pure charcol grey colored dragoness with no specks of anything dotting her scales. She is the youngest warrior in Pelendava, and is still small compared to the others but is still growing. What she lacks in size she makes up in strength, having a similar, compact body like her mother. She can be very stubborn and bull headed at times, but is very intelligent. She prefers to use strategy and cleverness to defeat her opponents instead of fighting them head on, and has even fooled some of the senior warriors with her tricks. At times she can be over-confident and boastful, but has a good heart and always the bests interests of her city in mind. (HollyBird24)
Adeline- A relatively slight, slender dragoness with soft looking, off-white scales that could be described as "creamy". She has round blue eyes, a narrow face and high, pronounced cheek bones. Overall, she looks hardly anything like a warrior when in fact, she is one of the most highly trained, succesful warriors in Pelendava. Only a select few dragons even know of her existance as she does not actually live in Pelendava. She was trained by Jester, a highly skilled but crooked warrior who was exiled from the city many years ago. Since Adeline and Jester maintained a close bond even after her training was complete, Camilla suspected that they were working together. This was never proved, but Adeline was never able to regain Camilla's trust. It is one of the darkest kept secrets in the history of Camilla's rein as queen. She remains a warrior officially, but participates in secret missions organized by Camilla and the select few who know of her, without the consent of the council. Due to her delicate appearance she is highly deceptive and cunning, fueled by the rage that her city doesn't completely trust her for something she didn't do. (HollyBird24)
Sapphire- Her head is adorned with two ebony horns coming out straight back. She has sapphire spikes running down her neck, back, and tail. Her wings are sleek and that allows her to move quickly. Her teeth, and claws are ebony and her eyes are emerald green. She is sweet and has a tender heart, loves to sing and dance and will fight for her city. (Trixie Belden)
Civilians:
Samuel- A large, dark green mottled dragon with two long, green horns that stick out the back of his head and curve slightly upwards. He has multiple spikes on the side of his head, all pointing backwards and curving outwards like his horns. His long, elegant wings are now stiff and wrinkled with age, and his once powerful body is thin and fragile. Despite his aged appearance, it isn't hard to see that he was once a very powerful warrior who was to be feared. Camilla invited him to join the council as a civilian because of his wisdom and experience. He is wise and rather kind, often seen cracking jokes which he claims makes him feel young again. During the afternoon his home is open to all hatchlings, and some learners, who come to listen to his many stories about life in Pelendava when he was young. (HollyBird24)
Ester- A grizzled old dragoness with yellow teeth, cracked and broken with age. Her wings and cracked and siezed, never to open and fly again. Her once beautiful red and orange scales are now dull and warped with age, falling out in some places. She is the oldest dragon in Pelendava, at nearly 175 years old. When she was younger she was part of the council as the healer, and knows a lot about herbs and plants, including ones that are not used anymore. During her life as a healer she was attacked while out collecting herbs and badly beaten, causing her to lose the sight in her left eye. She believed her attacker came from Caronia and has believed it ever since, though nobody ever believed her. As she got older the citizens of Pelendava began to call her crazy, but her mind has always worked just fine. Even at the ripe old age of 173, she has maintained her snappy temper and sarcastic wit, and is usually in a foul mood. (HollyBird24)
Chantal- A bright young dragoness. Her shiny silver scales ripple down her slender body, similar in texture to that of a seals, but, only because her scales are so small in size. She has a somewhat long, but thick next alike in stature to her tail- which is much longer. Her head is normally held high in a magestic manner, showing off her regal ornamentation's; two ears that are wing like in a similar style to her wings, but small enough to be, well, ears. She has stunning blue eyes that stick out amongst her scaly skin. Her wings are very large, best for soaring high in the air, not for making sharp agile turns. As for her personality, she's a nice soul who means no harm to anyone. She's very easy to get along with, since she really doesn't like to argue or fight. In a few words, Chantal is sweet, kind, and a good listener. (chickendiva25)
Ruth- A middle aged dragoness with kind, gentle green eyes. Her scales are a faded orange color and her claws are blunt and dull from working as a farmer her entire life. Her appearance is very worn, almost old. She was never given the opportunity to become a warrior as her parents didn't believe in violence and believed that she would be much more useful to the city as a farmer. As a farmer she grows the herbs and plants that the healer uses. She is kind hearted and generous, very willing to give up everything she has to help another in need. She is the mother of Amaria and Mayella and supports them fully in their dreams to become warriors. (HollyBird24)
Niernen- A male dragon with blue and black markings over his mainly white scales. The skin covering his wingbones is black and the black fades out onto his wing membrane with an increasingly lighter blue starting with navy blue and ending in a almost white blue. Like Brisingur he has crests over his eyes that extend in long tail like things that are two and a half feet long. Behind his right eye he has a blue mark edged in black that looks like an orchid (hence his name). His head is two feet long and a foot wide, his neck is five feet long, his torso is six feet long and his tail is elevan feet long, he is six feet tall at the withers and his wings are fourteen feet long each (twenty-eight foot wingspan total). He is slightly more muscular then Brisingur, but only because he is a male. He is very kind and sometimes flirty, he secretly has a crush on Brisingur and will do anything to protect others. He doesn’t like seeing others hurt and he won’t trust you for awhile but you can eventually earn his trust. (chickenlover237)
Brisingur- A slender white dragon with a very feminine apearance. Her entire body is pure white and she has a diamond imbedded in her chest, her scales are incredibly durable and are very shiny. It is dangerous to look at her when she is in the sun because of how brilliant her scales are. Her wings are laced with black flower patterns on the skin covering her wing bones and it continues out covering the wing membrane, she also has some of this lacy flower pattern in the middle of her forehead and on her feet. Her snout is slender and she has long crests over her eyes, the crests potrude over her eyes slightly and then extend back in a long tail like thing (like a chinese dragon's wisker but different slightly). She has white spikes running all the way down her back and down her tail, her neck is very slender like the rest of her body but her chest is slightly wider. Her head is one and a half feet long and half a foot wide, her neck is four feet long, her body is five feet long, her tail is seven feet long. She stands five feet tall at the withers, her wings are thirteen feet long each (twenty-six feet total). She may look like an angel but she is incredibly snappy and untrusting, she takes first impressions very seriously and usually if she gets a bad feeling about someone the first time she meets them, she never trusts them. Her personality is like her name, firey and unpredictable. When she comes to trust you she is the sweetest dragoness alive (it seems), she is sometimes a flirt but likes to play "hard to get" with any male that shows affection to her, it will take awhile but she is unwilling to give her heart away too quickly. (chickenlover237)
Charlotte- A small, soft spoken dragoness who rarely speaks out. She is very quite and conservative, never voicing her opinions or raising her voice. Her scales are a soft, dark blue color and cover every inch of her small, delicate frame. Unlike most farmers, her claws are not dull and her scales are not faded as she is still fairly young. Her tail is long and slim with tiny spikes running down the back. Her parents wanted her to become a warrior but seen realized that it wasn't the path for her. She is too soft and generally fragile, both physically and emotionally. However, despite this "softness" she does display the occasional hint of bravery, suggesting that underneath everything else she has a harder spot. (HollyBird24)
Learners:
Mayella- A slender, dark green dragoness affectionatly known as "Kat". On top of her dark green color is a lighter layer of light blue spots dappled across her flank. She had two ear fins on either side of her face which she can extend and retract at will, the only time she uses them however, if when she is frightened or angry. Across her back, from her neck to her tail, she has long, barbed spikes that stick out at all times. At her tail, these spikes end in a wicked ball which can be used to hit her opponents. When she is with her sister, Amaria (Kit), she is quite chatty and very easily distracted. However, when she is alone is is rather quiet and very attentive. She is soft spoken and kind, sometimes timid and very shy, not likely to speak out against others. Despite her quite, humble nature she is very protective of Amaria (Kit) and would do anything to protect her. (HollyBird24)
Amaria- A muscular, dark green dragoness known as "Kit". She is almost identical in color to her twin sister, Mayella (Kat), and has the same spikes down her back and a spiked ball at the end of her tail. Her personality, however, is almost opposite to her sister... at least when they are seperated. She is a fast, agile flyer, strong enough to carry very heavy loads through the air. Her personality is fiery and energetic, easily irritated and not fond of people who challenge her or attempt to present any amount of authority over her. She is very confident in her abilities, sometimes a bit overconfident and will rarely, if ever, give in to anyone. She isn't quick to trust those she doesn't know and is very independent. Despite her defiant nature she is known to form unqiue bonds with people whom she is close to and develops an extreme sense of protectiveness over them, such as her sister, and her mentor, Gabriel. (HollyBird24)
Inigo- A tall, lean dragon with thick, wiry muscles and broad, well built shoulders. At first glance he appears completely black, but if you look closely, there are multiple colors woven into his sleek dark scales. This unusual pattern makes him appear black as night in the sunlight, but many different colors in the night, especially under the moonlight. His eyes are very dark, almost completely black and are distant and cold, as though he is never happy. He is young but carries the burdens of a much older dragon. Unlike most dragons in Pelendava, Inigo was born and raised for several years outside of the city. He is very secretive of his past, and often gets angry when others bring it up. His temper is unpredictable and dangerous, but underneath he does have a caring, gentle side, though very few ever see this side of him. (HollyBird24)
Aethera- A long, thin dragoness with pale blue-grey scales. Her eyes are a mixture of honey-browns. Her pupils are cat-like. She has two long, slightly curved horns that point backwards and slightly outwards. She is rather quiet and quick and nimble. Her accuracy is not that great, however. She is better at dodging attacks than attacking. She enjoys reading, flying and climbing. She does not like to hurt others, and anything even slightly gory makes her sick. She often doubts that she will ever be a warrior. (NixNoodleNumbat)
Neikea- A more robust built dragoness. Her scales are very dark red. Her eyes are plain black. She has two sets of horns on her head; two just behind her nostrils, and two larger ones on top of her head. Her tail is shaped like an arrowhead. She enjoys exploring, and asks lots of questions. She's quite loud, and not afraid to fight. Although she is determined to become a warrior, she is not the best student, as she is easily distracted. (NixNoodleNumbat)
Zynoth- A white scaled dragon, very muscular and large for his age. He has a long neck, a long tair, great powerful wings and sharp claws and teeth. He is a bit cocky but knows when he is outmatched. Although he is not the smartest dragon he has a true heart and will help anyone in need. He is brave, but scared of some things. (pekinduck<3er)
Raven- A slender, agile dragoness with scales as dark as night. She has dark blue eyes like the depth of the ocean and claws like glass, although they cannot be broken easily. She has small spikes down her back but they are not dangerous during a fight. She has large wings but when they aren't open they look smaller then they actually are. She has a iridescent black belly which shines a blue/green color in the sunlight. Her scales are smooth, not like leather. She is a dragoness with fine qualities, not one who likes being treated with disrespect. She has a strong sense of justice and won't tolerate cruelty or anarchy in any form. She is cunning and very kind to those who treat her right. She is elegant and can stand her ground when needed, but she does know when she is outmatched in numbers or skill. She has traveled the world and has many stories to tell, but she hasn't been around many other dragons very much. (pekinduck<3er)
Younglings:
_________________________
RESIDENTS OF CARONIA.
Leader:
Tenebrae- Standing at a height that towers over many dragons, with a large and powerful build, Tenebrae’s size alone is intimidating. As if that’s not enough, the massive dragon’s chest is armored with sharp-ended plates, and he has sharp spines on the sides of his jaw with large horns that curl around his face like those of a ram. He has four, starkly-contrasted orange eyes, and teeth that are thick and sharp, with his top and bottom fangs exposed on his lips. His body scales are a shade of deep, unsaturated purple that is so dark, that it is almost black, and his chest-plates, horns, and claws are a dark ivory color. He has a cold and harsh nature to match his appearance, with a vile sense of humor, and he toys with death, like the lives of his victims mean nothing to him. War is his idea of entertainment. A direct descendent of Silas, his bloodline is treated like royalty. (BirdNut)
Council: (Spots reserved for now)
Gaia- She is tall, lean, elegant, and streamlined in build with a regal, upright stature. A rare gem among dragons, Gaia is a Faerie dragon – a subspecies known for their delicate appearance and extravagant markings. Gaia is no exception. With a mainly earthy color palette, she is mostly deep olive in color with cream underparts, decorated with lighter green frills, and her wings have flashy, butterfly-reminiscent markings in chocolate brown, green, and hues of sky blue. However beautiful, Gaia can be likened to a rose; lovely to look at, but not for touching. She is often cold, and can be very bitter with a touch of haughtiness unless you earn her respect. Gaia, being such a pretty little thing, was teased and humiliated when she wanted to apply to be a warrior for Sauron’s kingdom, she said she’d prove herself by becoming a warrior elsewhere. She turned her back on the kingdom and joined Silas’s army, and has more than proven herself. (BirdNut)
Jester- A large, inky black dragon with streaks of flurescent green running down his back, sides and across his wings. He has long, sharp teeth and a forked tongue like a snake. His eyes are a sharp green color, and glitter like chips of green ice when he is angry. Many years ago he was a warrior of Pelendava but was banished because of his violent, defiant nature. He happened on Caronia by accident and was accepted as a warrior, eventually working his way up the ranks to one of Tenebrae's most trusted, elite warriors. He's determined, quick to judge and even as a senior warrior he is mocking and snarky, quick to anger which often leads to a fight. With the exception of maybe Tenebrae he has almost no respect for anyone. He is belligerent and often seems undifferent to the reasons for his violence, as if war were a game, a pastime for him. Despite this strong, defiant nature he does have a soft spot, burried underneath the thickly woven strands of darkness that corrupt his heart. (HollyBird24)
Healer:
Voodoo- A sub-species of black dragon, smaller and more fine featured. She has a purple feathered mane the begins with a mohawk and runs from her forehead down. Three pairs of golden horns crown her face and violet eyes, one set sweeping down either side the others tipped towards the sky. She is not particularly evil, more or less just carrying on the family business. Her family has almost always been healers, and almost always associated with the darker side of it. She grew up in an environment very similar to Caronia, although its population consisted wholly of her species. She lacks the strength and armour of a warrior, but is proud and young and not very good at admitting it. (Gerbil)
Warriors:
Gilda- Large and muscular for a dragoness, Gilda is tomboyish in both appearance and in personality. She is ink-black with slightly fluorescent orange stylized skeletal markings, eyes of the same orange, and massive, leathery wings fringed in orange as well. Gilda grew up in a high-standing family with a lot of expectations. When Gilda hatched, they hoped for a lovely, well-mannered young lady. That well-mannered young lady turned out to enjoy rolling in the dirt with the boys, rather than learning different nest-making techniques. Feeling out of place in her family, Gilda left her nest back in Palendava when she felt old enough to make her own decisions, and when some Caronian warriors witnessed her get into a street fight with a small gang of muggers and win, they offered her to join their ranks. She is mostly responsible for training and managing the warriors; a commander of sorts. (BirdNut)
Lilith- A sleek, elegant dragoness with a mottled pattern of dark blues, greens and purples. She is quite small, and not as physically strong as her fellow warriors, but dangerously quick. Her wings are long and narrow, allowing her to fly quickly and make sharp manoeuvres in mid-flight. Her tongue is as sharp as her claws and she is very confident, highly intelligent and charismatic, but somewhat of a psychopath. She is power-hungry and ruthless, displaying many narcissistic trairs and doesn't seem to care about the needs or feelings of others. Despite this cruel nature, she is surprisingly deceptive, and can make herself appear vulnerable and unthreatening if she wishes. This trait, combined with her intelligence makes her a clever manipulator, and a deadly foe. (HollyBird24)
Silvanus- Silvanus is stunning to behold, ornately patterned and alluringly colored; standing out in a crowd is quite easy for him. Although his colors serve as a warning to others, just like most of the creatures of his homeland; poison is his gift, and curse. Each of his spikes are tipped in it, his scales and bite laced with it. The promise of a slow acting, torturous revenge for anyone who dare disgruntle the dazzling serpent. He has somewhat of a split personalty, instinct fighting against and mind. Overall he is a fiendish creature with a sadistic taste for torture. He can come off as kind, always inquisitive and eloquent with his words. He has a unique talent for recalling even the most minute details of a conversation, so in fact he is more or less an experienced interrogator than a smooth conversationalist. But he has a love of the forest, odd for any creature as evil as he. A love for the birds, and the beasts that inhabit it. If he knows what he is, he's not telling. Lacking the flame of most dragons, his is replaced with the poison that runs through his veins. It varies in strength, and he can lower/raise the dosage at will. It is corrosive, at it's least it can cause irritation, at it's worst it can eat through bone and scale without end. Although his supply is not unlimited, he fights with claw and fang, using the deadly spray as a last defense. (Gerbil)
Artemis- A full 30 feet tall, a truly huge dragon. His claws are long and sharp, he had spikes going down his back and he has ridges on his chest. His eyes are pure white, no pupils and he had six horns coming out of his head. He can breathe acid, and at the end of his tail is a heavy club-like ball. His wingspan is fourty feet, on top of all this, every spike and ridge on his body is tipped with acidic poison which will burn away the strongest of stone. His entire body, even his wings, is coated with protective scales. His only weakness is his jaw, but it is protected by sharp ridges, he is a born fighter. He is extremely smart, he came from the plane of darkness and he is a cunning fighter, a cruel dragon. He will work those under him to their limits and makes no moves to hide. If he is challenged, he will fight, he has a den under Mount Mandalla, will toy with dragons for sheer enjoyment and will set cocky dragons in their place. He is the image of fear and cruelety, you do not want to pick a fight with him, or anger him. (ParagonGuide13)
Civilians:
Aglaia- Aglaia is a shapely, slender dragoness, dark slate gray with maroon wings, and earfins. She has thick, plated horns beginning from her brow-line, extending back and curving slightly upward. A loyal friend to many, Aglaia is always one to listen rather than talk. She is quite unusually soft-hearted for being a Caronian. It is because of this that she was given the rather lowly rank of being a 'mother', and that she is not very respected among higher ranks – especially Gaia and Lilith. (BirdNut)
Christina- A small, slender dragoness with beautiful, mottled blue and purple scales. She is quite pretty and rather delicate looking with gentle features and large blue eyes. Unlike most dragons in Caronia, she is soft spoken and humble, rarely speaking out against anyone. When she was very young her parents were killed, she would have died within a few days if Tenebrae had not taken her in. However, instead of training her to become one of his warriors, he made her his personal servant. Now that she is a "teen" dragoness, she tends to almost all of his needs, bringing him food and doing his bidding. Though she would never voice her feelings out loud, she secretly hates Tenebrae and his warriors because of their cruelty to her. (HollyBird24)
Rauthr- A deep navy blue colored dragoness her iris’s are so big her eyes look almost completely black with only a little bit of color, the color of her eyes is a light blue. She has four horns on the back of her head, one set of horns is two thirds of a foot long and the second set is a third of a foot long. Her head is one and a half feet long and half a foot wide, her neck is four feet long, her torso is five feet long and her tail is nine feet long and like a whip, she is four feet tall at the withers, each of her wings are twelve feet long (twenty-four foot wingspan total). She is a very slender dragoness and can fly incredibly fast. Her teeth, claws and horns are snow white in contrast to her dark scales. She is dark and cruel, if she can she will use other dragons to her will, she was trained by a warrior but decided she didn’t want to be a warrior at the last minuet so technically she finished her warrior training but wasn’t a warrior. (chickenlover237)
Learners:
Tisep- A slender dragoness with a sleek build, allowing her to move quickly. Most of her scales are a smokey charcol color and she has a thin blue stripe down her sides. Her wings are smokey black with stripes of blue running down the base of each wing. Her eyes are a sharp blue which glitter in the light and her tongue is forked like a snake. She is sharp tongued and defiant, often looking down on dragons who are below her. Sometimes this can get her into trouble, but she does respect those above her. She uses her wits to get her out of tough situations. (OwlLover)
Younglings:
Pandora- The child of Tenebrae performing stud duty with Gilda in an effort to keep his bloodlines alive and to have more warriors for Caronia’s militia, Pandora may seem entirely secure, but there is a feeling of insignificance that the quiet little thing hides deep within. She is the silent, sentimental type, and is not nearly as talkative as the other hatchlings. She inherited features from both of her parents. She seems as though she’ll grow to be larger than her mother, and her scales are a purplish hue, dark, but not quite as much as her father. Her wing and frill webbing is all solid orange, with hues of yellow at the base. Overall, she is a very flashy young dragoness. (BirdNut)
Falcon- Falcon has a grey chest and the rest of his body is black. Four small black horns come from his head. From his neck down to the end of his tail there are spikes. His wings are sleek, he is eight feet long, five feet tall and has a wingspan of ten feet. He is very agile, is not a strong dragon, or a strong flyer. He is very quiet and tries to stay out of the way. If he is stuck in a fight between dragons he tries to get away from it, he can not fight yet because his claws are not very long. (Falconry)
_________________________
ROGUES.
Belial- A muscular dragon with black tiger stripes across most of his body. Under his black stripes, his color often changes as he has the ability, like a Chameleon to blend into his surroundings. He is sleek and quick footed with razor sharp teeth, jagged like a sharks. On each wing he has a long, curved clawwhich he uses for fighting and climbing if he needs to. His eyes also change color with his mood and his outward appearance, they are sharp and calculating, always thinking about something. He has no loyalty to Pelendava or Caronia but will aly with either side if it benefits him. He is one of the few dragons alive who knows that both cities exist, as a rogue, he sees and hears many things which dragons in the cities do not. He is clever and crafty, a truly dark hearted soul who enjoys nothing more then causing pain and suffering. Despite this, he is rather charming. (HollyBird24)
Blukina- Short tempered, brave and sometimes reckless. She grows close bonds with those she knows and is protective of them. She lurks in the forests around Pelendava, occasionally visiting the city. She is a mind blue color all with and her head is adorned with spikes that protrude from the back of her head like horns. The end of her tail has a webbing "rudder" (similar to the Night Fury dragon). Her eyes are a golden yellow color and her pupils are mild slits most of the time. Her wings have spikes at each wrists which she uses to fight with. (K-12 Chickens)
Bianka- A small, but thick bodied dragoness. Her scales are a deep maroon color on her back which deepens to blood red on her stomach. Her head is large and ferocious, and it is adorned with a short goats beard. Her slanted cat eyes are midnight black and her tail is sort and muscular with rows of tiny, harmless spikes that cannot do much damage. She is most suited for the air and has large, powerful wings. She is able to breath fire with some concentration and can also exhale a clear gas which messes with the nerves of other dragons, causing their muscles to twitch and spasm. However, the effects are not fatal and last only about an hour. Her last skill is quite interesting, if she meets a male dragon who she has never met before, she is sometimes able to change the color of her eyes. This can be very seductive but she is not able to control it. She is cool, calculating and cruel. She never loses her temper and simply keeps her emotions of anger of viciousness inside. She is constantly trying to better herself and will do just about anything to achieve things. She is impersonal and harsh and would kill her 'friends' if a reward was offered. She can also be vengeful and is not a creature to mess with. (Quinn4321)

DECEASED CHARACTERS.
Henry- A tall, brown dragon with long, muscular legs and shoulders. His eyes were a dark brown, almost black color and he had two fins on either side of his head which he could open and close at will. He was the mate of Ruth, although slightly younger by a few years. He was wise and compassionate, but also somewhat knowledgeable in the world of combat. He trained alongside Alistair to become a warrior but backed out at the last minute. Technically, he was nearly fully trained, but hadn't ever put the skills he learned into an actual battle. He lived as a humble farmer, and proud father of his twin daughters, Amaria and Mayella who are following the path of a warrior. He was killed protecting Charlotte by a Caronian warrior named Silvanus. 07/17/12 (HollyBird24)
