GENERATION III Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 [spoiler= Plot] Earth, 6000 BC Dragons are the dominant race, humans are nonexistent, and power is the law of the land. This was a time where books were sacred and rested atop pillars of marble and gold. The ancient dragonscript of its time was not used to educate young fledglings on the history of their kind, nor the lessons on proper etiquette, nor the laws of the land. No, these books were written for one purpose only. To engrave in stone and scroll the proto-ancient tongue of dragon magic. The dragons are magical beings in and of themselves, and can materialize their own powers without speaking their names, but there are some spells that must be spoken, and to know these powerful words they must be written so that they can be learned correctly, for if a word is spoken in any other way than the proto-ancient dragontongue, it will either fail, or backfire horribly. There are many books of dragon magic, some of personal spells, others of dark, forbidden spells. Healing, elemental, mind-controlling, sealing, banishing, summoning spells. These have all been entered into various books and booklets over the years by dragons. And they have all been combined into larger and larger books for the avid scholars to broaden their skills. But for all their spells, and all their incantations, and all their potions, there is but one book that has all the spells the others do not. The Libro Draconum. It is the spellbook of spellbooks. It has everything in it that magic itself has to offer, and in this book lies the most powerful, most devastating, most forbidden spells on the earth. For centuries many dragons bent on destroying the earth have come to seek it, only to fall to their deaths at the hands of the many traps and guardians that watch over the temple that houses the book. For if this book falls into the wrong hands, it could destroy the entire planet. A group of dragons has discovered that a member of their clan, who was originally the strongest of them, has gone off in search of more power, and sought to find it in the Libro Draconum. His friends feared for his life, and set out to find him. Knowing what awaits him before he can even enter the temple, they have to stop him before he gets himself killed, but little do they know that he has become more corrupted by the darkness than they first thought.[/spoiler] [spoiler= The Temple of Deus Draconum]This temple is the safe haven of the Libro Draconum. On the outside, it is first guarded by a forest of inescapably large Tree Ents than can launch tendrils of tree roots hundreds of feet into the air. They have been imbued with fireproof magic so that they cannot be burned. Next is a magical barrier surrounding the entire outside of the temple that negates the ability to take flight, so all creatures must walk. This barrier starts at the inner edge of the Ent forest, so being inside the barrier does not bode well for dragons, as they are now the targets of the nearest Ents. If they survive that, they must fight the two gigantic stone dragon gate guardians that watch over the entrance. If a dragon tries to scale the walls it is assaulted by a swarm of smaller stone dragon guardians that freckle the temple’s towers, and then attacked by the gate guardians. If they survive either, the gate will open, allowing them to enter. Inside, a dragon must survive the dozens of traps laid out in the labyrinth of hallways. There are crushing walls, impaling hallways, inferno pits, guardian rooms, and many other traps. The one true path to the book can be found either by the lost map of the temple, or by a select few known as Oracles, who can sense the true and safe path to the book. In the Room of Eternity, the Libro Draconum’s dwelling, seven massive golden dragon guardians tower against the walls of the high-roofed room. At the center lies the Libro Draconum, a large cylindrical obsidian stone that towers as tall as the guardians, but at first glance, it is blank. Flight is allowed everywhere inside the temple except this room, so if a dragon wishes to approach the stone, it must step lightly, as any tile on the floor could trigger a trap that could instantly kill it. To read the stone, a dragon must speak the words etched onto the pedestals that each guardian stands on, so they must walk around the entire room without setting off a trap to find the words. If they speak the words correctly, the stone pillar will become engraved in white with the writing of proto-ancient dragontongue, containing all the spells of the world, starting at the top and spiraling down in a single continuous line. The anti-flight spell is also lifted once the words are spoken. If the stone is at all touched in any way, the stone’s writing will disappear and it will become trapped inside a magical barrier that will not be broken by anything, and the guardians will come to life and start attacking intruders. If a dragon can destroy all the guardians, the barrier will disappear and the writing will resurface. If the stone is touched again, the entire temple will instantly start collapsing around them, and all of the traps will begin to go off, so it is impossible to actually carry the stone, even with a group of dragons strong enough to lift it, out of the temple, losing the Libro Draconum forever in the rubble.[/spoiler] [spoiler= Character Sheet]Name: Faction: (good or evil) Age: (anywhere from 100[youngling]-10,000[old man]) Gender: Species: (pick one) --God: god dragon, six limbs, six wings, three tails, seven horns, built body (NPC) --Relic: ancient dragon, four limbs, four wings, long tail, no horns, frail body, old, typically Oracles --Western: modern dragon, four limbs, two wings, long tail, one horn, built body --Wyvern: medieval dragon, two limbs, two wings, medium tail, many small horns, built body --Lung: Chinese dragon, four limbs, no wings, medium tail, two horns, long body, two long “whiskers” Personality: (at least 4 lines, be detailed and also include things the dragon tends to do as a result of its personality) Powers: (write in Latin, as these and “spells” go hand in hand, with the exception of generalized powers like water or fire, in which case simply write “water” or “fire”) Color: (red, black, gold, etc.) Height (erect): (varies with species) Length (nose to tail): (proportion them correctly please) Wingspan (single): (wings are very large, but rarely larger than body length) Wingspan (full): (there is some space between each wing on the back, unless you’re a wyvern, then they’re on the sides, or if you’re a lung, in which case you have no wings) Wing Phalanges: (number of “fingers” separating wing membrane) Other Description Details: (talons, armor, eyes, teeth, etc) Image: (if you want. couldn’t hurt, right?)[/spoiler] [spoiler= Rules][list=1] [*]No OP [*]No Mary-Sues [*]No God-Modding [*]Limit 3 dragons per user.

Hydra of Ages Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'd be shocked if anyone here actually knows enough proper latin to write a full sentence without using google translate, and even more shocked if Generation actually knew enough latin to recognize an improper sentence. It's generally considered to be pointless to study it professionally, after all. Reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENERATION III Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 App No. 1 Name: Shuilong Faction: Good Age: 3471 Gender: Male Species: Lung Personality: He has an unpredictable personality that can go from completely calm and collected to raging mad. He thrives in the ocean and is very territorial about certain things. He is compulsively clean and filters the water around his territory, making him famous for having the cleanest waters in the world. He is easy to get along with as long as you know when not to tick him off. Otherwise you’re a target. Those who have known him long enough know that he usually doesn’t mean anything he says or does when he has a fit, so they stay friends with him even if he does try to claw them in the face. Powers: --Water Control: He can control water as well as affect the water molecules in the air and in other living things --Underwater: He can breathe underwater indefinitely --Mico Frigidus: He can instantly freeze large bodies of water or encase a creature or group of creatures in ice --Cerebrum Imperium: Looking directly into the eyes of another creature, he can take over its mind for a certain amount of time depending on the creature’s willpower, sometimes indefinitely --Caligo Vitae: He can breathe a thick mist into a wounded or dying creature to revive it --Oceanus Tempestas: While in or adjacent to large bodies of water, he can create a large storm that creates devastating tsunamis and maelstroms Color: dull blue, beige underbelly Height (erect): 20 ft Length (nose to tail): 100 ft Other Description Details: Two large silver horns, long beige whiskers, glowing ice blue eys, three ivory talons on each forelimb and four on the hind limbs, and large, angled, sharp scales.

Admiral_Stalfos19 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Name: Fulmine Faction: Evil (Well, that's [i]technically[/i] her faction. She actually opposes all other dragons) Age: 5484 Gender: Female Species: Western Personality: To put things in simple terms, Fulmine has a thing against other living things. She especially has a thing against allowing said things to escape her wrath alive. Considering her fighting style, though, one can easily accuse her of being hypocritical. Fulmine is completely reckless when it comes to fighting other dragons, even to the point of making the occasional suicidal decision, and she actually takes [i]offence[/i] when another dragon helps her against her opponent or saves her life. However feral she may come across, Fulmine has one reason to justify her actions and one reason only; she wants to find the dragon that bit off her legs and make that dragon pay for what she considers a foul crime... preferably with its life. Powers: Lightning Breath: Breathes lightning. Pretty damn obvious don'tcha think? Constituo: Electricity surrounds Fulmine's body, shocking anyone that she touches or that touches her. Desumo Textus: Spits out a lattice of pure electricity that traps and shocks anyone that gets caught in it. Levitas Sumos: With this, Fulmine can move at the speed of lightning. Dico of Polus: Fulmine's most powerful ability. Countless lightning bolts come down [i]around[/i] Fulmine, and continue to do so until about 10 seconds pass. The first 2 lightning bolts start off 5 seconds apart, but the time it takes each proceeding lightning bolt to come down is cut in half each time. The lightning bolts will deal medium damage apiece. Color: Dark teal, gold underbelly Height (erect): 14' 11" Length (nose to tail): 25' 0" Wingspan (single): 8' 10" Wingspan (full): 20' 7" Wing Phalanges: 4 Other Description Details: Down the length of Fulmine's body, on either side of her pelvis, lie two blood red circles that used to be where her legs used to be. From the looks of these circles, one would assume that these legs were bitten clean off. The underbelly of her tail has faded away and become paler, seeming to suggest that since the loss of her legs, Fulmine has learnt over the years to slither like a snake on land, although she's still more than capable of flight. The purple feathers on her wings conduct electricity. Image: [img]http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz178/JazinKay/Dragons/bdnfugyfdsgds.jpg[/img] ^minus the mane. WIP at the moment. Still gotta work on the name, which I'll need before I can construct the personality, and the powers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
