Hell yea, go for it. Don't know how that'd work, but whatevs, I mean -- I did throw in literally everything.

Illan: If you want. I think it'll be great.

I personally want to do a couple: a young dragonslayer and a seemingly young girl who's actually a dragon, and the two are friends.

As well as an eccentric half-chimer dragonslayer who lives in the woods with their wolf and talks to trees.

Insaeldor: I gave magic a thought. Was in my older ideas/notes, too. There's all sorts of magic, and all sorts of combinations. Divine magic, dark magic, pyromancy, lightning, frost, water, and everything in between. Even go all Avatar and combine magic with martial arts.

I also had a concept for a unique ore that helps nullify magic, or amplify it due to unknown qualities in the element.


Little input on magic and that ore you mentioned: There should be a group of people that can nullify magic in that fashion, like witchhunter knights or something. Think Templars from Dragon Age.

From what I've seen, it's very possible for a dragon and its rider to get a little "freaky".

App
Nation name: Insaeldor

Character name: Absolon né de Azrael (Church Name real name not known)

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 31

Appearance: Absolon is around 5'11" tall with a slightly lean build weighting about 145 pounds. He has a chiseled face with a cleated chin and shoulder length blond hair which he usually keeps in a beaded pony tail and has green almond shaped eyes with pale white skin. He has tattoos on his left and right arms. His right one helps direct his lighting magic while his left is used to focus Devine magic.

Bio: Absolon was born to pagan parents from the western kingdom whom had practiced their religion in secret for many years prior to their sons birth. His parents fearful of the church's reprisal the family tried to move to Tanenburg but we killed by members of the Order of St. Götzen whom had been tasked with annihilating any traces of Paganism and other this deemed subversive to the churches dogma and theology. As the members of the order inspected the results of the slaughter they came upon the families infant child. The members took the child and brought him back to their Monastery where he was raised by the Monasteries religious leaders and was given the name Absolon né de Azrael by St. Artilan (head of the ministry).

Absolon grew up in the monastary for almost all of his childhood and teen years and his life consisted of morning prayer, theological schooling, training with the order, and finally dinner and bed. When he turned twenty he was one of the top recruits of the order being both lethal with his sword and had a competent grasp of both Devine and offensive Magic. Upon his coronation into the order as a full fledged member the whol of his left and right arms were tattooed a traditional magic used by the order to focus, amplify, and direct magic with his right arm being used for his preferred lighting magic while his left was geared towards Devine magic and as with tradition an IX monogram was branded upon his sternum.

Absolon spent much of his life hunting down and killing demons or pagans and destroying anything that the church deemed subversive. But even given his role as a member of the order he had grown disillusioned with the acts of the church, the majority of the people the ordered killed were not demons or dark mages but regular people who had been caught practicing the wrong religion in the church's territory. After a particularly Gruesome raid against a pagan commune Absolon faked his death and only left a charged steel helm to give his comrades evidence of his death and he left wishing to escape what he saw as barbracy in the name of the church and wondered Tempest doing odd jobs and spreading the church's word as one of peace but would reprise his role as a warrior when needed.

Currently he lives n Tenenburg where he watches over a small house of worship and occupancies merchents on their travels as a protector and guid.

Ability: has a strong connection with the magic of the church and the lighting magic taught to him by the order as well as an exceptional swordsman.

Weaknesses: while he his good with both sword and spell his power lies in the combination of the two, take away his sword or his skill and his power as a fighter is greatly diminished.

Dragons (and Wyverns/Drakes/others) can fly, breath fire, and posses powerful magical powers. They can also take the form of a human avatar to hide in plain sight, but their body will have imperfections that they have to keep hidden. Dragonslayers' weapons are crafted specifically to hurt Dragons, too, so they'll be in serious danger if one gets the upper hand on them. When in human form, their powers are drastically impaired.

Interesting and I assume some dragon have special abilities and the like?

Hey mind if my character hailed from a walled city that, despite technically being apart of the land that it's located in, considers itself separate and has it's own royal family and way of life? Think of a city state

I have no issue with that. I originally intended to have every kingdom just be a bunch of city-states and villages.

Hmm then I have an idea in mind for a dragon if possible but this world will need some fleshing out.

Also, we need to start cutting on the number of dragons. I'm being a shapeshifter dragon-to-humanoid-dragon guy, also a kickass mage/warlock/Necromancer in the humanoid form.

And I request my rider be a woman, giving Carly's statement :P

App
Nation name: Kingdom of Aires (A city state North of Tanenburg, along the coast)
Character name: Princess Anne Undine Hamburg
Race: 25% Dragon, 75% human
Gender: Female
Age:18
Appearance:
Image

Bio: Anne is the second child of half blood King Augustine and Human Queen Lana. Thus is second in line for the throne of the city of Aires, behind her brother Prince Darius, she is described by many ,who have gotten the privilege of seeing her, as a dazzling dame of immense beauty or a Princess without flaws. She has never seen the outside world, always stuck in her keep, mostly due to her heritage. From a young age she developed inhuman abilities and showed incredible strength, though these abilities were and still are something she cannot control. In fear of attracting dragon slayers to the land, the king and reluctantly his Queen kept the young princess locked within the palace walls where she would be trained by her uncle.
Anne would often get jealous of her brother and cousins who would roam the outside freely while she was stuck in her bedroom with Uncle Fredrick who struggled to teach her how to control her abilities. Often wishing that she was like her brother, who could easily keep his abilities concealed and under control, or like one of her cousins who didn't have any abilities at all. Everyday she wishes that she could be free of her imprisonment and roam the lands and do as she please.
Abilities: Due to her dragon blood being very diluted, she doesn't have the abilities most full dragon/half dragons have, and even the abilities that she does possess are simply watered down versions of the original. She has the ability to control fire, and maybe with some intense training breathe it but it's highly unlikely, she faster than the average human and much stronger than the average human male despite her dragon lineage being diluted. She's able to natural understand the native language of the dragons and can even contribute to the conversation. However that's all the abilities she has, she cannot fly or transform into a dragon.
Weaknesses: She is innocent to the world due to never leaving the castle walls and is quick to trust strangers. She is also driven to a fault and often put others at risk, unintentionally, when she tries to achieve a set goal. She has little control over her dragon abilities and could be taken down quite easily if not for her inhuman strength and agility.
RP Sample: (if none, then don't worry. It's simply to give a good idea of your style.)

Agreed, we can't have everyone being dragons. Our poor ground-walkers would be left in the dust!

I'll have my character app coming up soon. I'll look over the other apps as well if I can.

So need a traveling pattern? Absolon could definetly have a mutual use for her.

Also Tors can you explain you idea of the church? Or can I myself sort of run with it and add little bits of information?

I don't mind if you add to the church. I hadn't fleshed it out very much anyway, except for their assassins having considerable freedom to travel and do as they wished, as long as they're job is done.

I really only call dibs on describing Tanenburg, the Chimer Kingdom, and the other city states to the southeast of Tanenburg. I'll out that info up in a minute,
