[YM Archetype] Grand Dragons, The Adorable Dragon's Predecessors!

[Major's Shadow]

After quite some time of refinement, I present to you the 1st run of support for my new archetype! Back in 2014, I posted an archetype w/ full lore based on the "Deletors" project (even though my entry got rejected), which was the Zefras of DP, in that they combined many beloved archetypes! In that lore, the Grand Dragons preceded the Syntheticals, which took form into this Dragon Pendulum archetype! Like the RWBY archetype, there will be several strings of support included overtime. Once I decide the archetype has been finished, I will post it publicly to DP. Hope you all enjoy!

What are the “Syntheticals?”

 

                                                                                       
     The Syntheticals are a breed of hyper-intelligent dragons that were raised in an isolated Solar System, which the Negators nicknamed “Excess”, referring to the planet’s wealth of natural resources. Each plain of land is split between the four major elements: Water, Wind, Earth, and Fire. These elements were retained in their purest states, before the invasion of the Negators. Each faction of the lands was controlled by the Grand Dragons, whom were all controlled under the Tier Dragon which controlled both the Darkness and the Light within this space, forming an unusual harmony of all elements. The planet was stumbled upon the crossfire of the war-ridden Light and Dark factions, and due to this, became a battleground for each side attempting to horde the resources. The Grand Dragons attempted to ward off the danger, yet sadly, could not combat the highly refined and weaponized threats, and were killed off before becoming corrupted. The children of these Grand Dragons hid within the core of the planet, hibernating away from the imposing threats conquering their planet… all except 1. This young dragon was the offspring of the Darkness and the Light, raised by the Tier Dragon, and a mutt that was highly desired by the Negators, for its unique abilities to discern the locations of both Light and Dark entities in a given area. After successfully conquering the planet "Excess", the Negators corrupted and trained this young offspring to bend to their whim, falling prey to the Negator’s sickening conquests. Yet, it still stayed conscious, desiring the company of its friends, tripping over a grey and bleak area as the young dragon attempted to stay pure to return to her former state. Until the day has come, the remaining young dragons will rest in the womb of their planet, synthesizing with the unnatural elements spewed across the industrialization of its surface, and evolving to combat this interstellar threat known as the Negators.
