*Rival detected for Zeva*

This is basically a hard counter for Zeva (see the second post).

Accepted (though its Nine Keeps, not Eight.)

Brainfart, fixed now. And I took a look at it, I can definitely see the parallels and how Sylanna could counter Zeva

Kind of regret I didn't check for any new OP apps before submitting mine, I neglected thinking of neat nicknames :c

I posted them less than five minutes before you posted your apps, so don't worry about it.

Fair enough. I'll just think of some later, though I did add an appearance for the dragon.

Also, the top ranking dragonslayer seems like he could be friends with Sylanna

A few issues. One, please don't write the app in bold. I don't remember you, so I'm going to need a sample. And three, he would have had to enroll in the Academy before 18/19, and would have been taken from his family when it was learned he was a Dragon-Kin

After several years, Silas proved himself as a worthy commander and was promoted to be stationed in the capital, and is commander of the elite Castle Guard which is the city watch’s last line of defense were dragons to attack.

RP Sample:
"Rummel, Capital of Eroria

Regis looked through the various papers scattered about in front of him, most having to do with requests for more troops in the east to help the campaigns against the orcs. However, under some of them he found a strange amulet he didn't recognize. As he touched it, he felt an urge to get up and go....somewhere, somewhere he had never been before or dreamed of. He brushed it aside however, as he heard some of the members of his Royal Council coming to his office. Regis quickly got up and walked to the balcony overlooking the city, and admired it's beauty. Ever since he had conquered it's previous rulers over 30 years ago, it had become the second biggest and grandest behind only Vasten.

His palace could be seen from almost everywhere in the city, and was a marvel to behold. The council members arrived and took their seats in the room, with Regis soon sitting in his own chair overlooking the rest.

"Your grace, I bring news from around the Shimmering Tower." said Court Mage Cacilius. "It seems as though scouts around the area have spotted an orc warband near the Tower itself. Should we send a detachment of soldiers to the Tower in case it needs help defending?"

"No, not until we hear from the Archmage himself Cacilius. We have an agreement to not interfere with one another unless completely necessary. Besides, I'm pretty sure the Guild can defend itself from a few pesky orcs."

Next to speak was General Villen Corax, commander of the armies of Eroria and friend of Regis' for many years.

"King Regis, I'm sure that you've heard that the orcs in the east are increasing their attacks on our easternmost colonies and cities. We have received messages requesting for more men and mages to assist in defeating them. I propose-

"That is preposterous my king, we need those men and wizards here in the West!" said Cacilius. "We all know the rumors of dark happenings and occurences coming from the West, and the present threat of attack from the elves or even the dwarves. We're already spread thin your highness, perhaps it's time to consolidate our power and use our men and wizards to protect our current borders instead of expanding them. It's-"

"Enough! I will think on the matters today and we will meet again tomorrow to make our decisions." Regis turned to Cacilius and then said "Send a message to the Shimmering Tower and ask if they need any men to help them against any orc warbands."

With that, the Council all bowed to Regis and left him one more to ponder."
Did you read the Rules? Yes

Name: Silas Van Hoorn

Short Bio: Silas was born to a wealthy family in the capital and had everything he ever wanted for while growing up. At the age of 16, his father helped him enroll into the military where he became an officer almost immediately due to his martial skill and family’s wealth. It was when he turned 17 when his life changed, which was when he had first encounter with a lesser dragon in a battle at Baltso Keep. His division was the first tasked with dealing with the dragon, which really meant it was a suicide mission. As his men were slaughtered around him, Silas lunged at the beast and landed on its head, stabbing at it repeatedly to no avail. He was eventually knocked off, and before the dragon could finish him, he felt a strange power overcoming him and summoned a great torrent of water and hurled it at the beast’s mouth, extinguishing the flames about to be belched. This scalded the dragon’s throat, and forced it to flee with half of Silas’ division still burning and a shocked Silas staring out into the distance. From then on, Silas was enrolled in the Royal Dragonslayer Academy where he graduated amongst the top of his class. He is stationed at the capital, and is commander of the elite Castle Guard which is the city watch’s last line of defense were dragons to attack.

Kuhlfros wrote:Before I finish my app, I want to get a go-ahead on my Dragon type which is admittedly different I want my soul to be that of a Hydra

Abilities would be something like
-Regenerative Abilities (He can regrow and regenerate his appendages and body relatively quickly, albeit painfully, as long as his head is intact)
-Poisonous Blood (What else is there to say, his blood is a virulent poison once it is no longer in his body)
-Camouflage (A Hydra is a type of Marsh Dragon which blends in with its surrounding, My character can blend in with surroundings (not turn invisible) but is definitely far harder to spot and smell (@dragons) for most)

How does that sound?

Auphelia wrote:Character App
Name: Heather Duke
Dragon Soul’s Name: Serquet
Type of Dragon Soul: Animus
Abilities:
Shape Shifting - She is able to turn into any kind of animal or human, even a small dragon. The more she turns into an animal, the less time it takes to transform. Transforming into normal animals takes about a minute if she is turning for the first time, and about five seconds is taken off every additional time she transforms. The least amount of time she can transform in is five seconds. For animals from her imagination it usually takes about five minutes the first time she transforms, and five seconds less each subsequent times, with the least amount of time it takes being ten seconds. To turn into a small dragon, about as big as the smallest dragon, it takes an hour no matter how many times she does it.
Animal Communication - She is able to communicate with animals. This extends to all human languages as well.
Animal Lordship - She is able to bend most animals to her will, with some individual animals being to strong of will to bend and humans and dragons as a species simply being too complex and intelligent to bend.
Enhanced Body - She has enhanced reflexes, senses, strength, speed, and agility. She is untrained in formal combat due to her perhaps dangerous over-reliance on her shape shifting.

Shwe Tu Colony wrote:For my dust dragon soul, could I make it so that, in comparison to an earth dragon, the dust can be expanded farther into sandstorms of larger areas than an earth dragon's abilities? However, the soul will not be able to move giant pieces of earth & can only shave off some pieces from the ground & can't form them into islands (they would collapse) or anything solid aside from sandstorms. In other words, it's a specialized earth dragon who's more focused on harassing or slowly grinding down enemies rather than summoning islands of earth, throwing rocks, or anything like that. This would also probably mean that the user can create sandpaper (if you happen to have any other ideas to make the dragon more different from an earth dragon, do suggest).
