An Age of Dragons and Dragon Hunters: OOC/Character/Open

[Ovesa]

Before I write up an application, how intelligent are dragons? The opening post mentions the mysteries and intricacies of dragon societies, but they are almost always referred to as beasts in the same post. Also, are there cases of dragons willing to employ the service of humanoids for their own gain? Thanks in advance.

Dragons and the Other races hold a distinct hatred for one another. The dragons might just be as intelligent as Humanoids but if they are they have never shown it to Humanoids. Dragons see humanoids as pests and humanoids see them as beasts

NS Name: Ovesa
Character Name: Uroga
Race: Orc
Age: Early 20's
Sex: Female
Appearance: Tall and broad shouldered. Long, black hair, pulled back into a messy braid. Teal-grey skin with white freckles. Vibrant yellow eyes. Smaller than average tusks. Wears long, dark blue robes with lighter blue flames and runes embroidered on them. Her amulet is a vibrant, faceted red gem, set into gold. Draconic runes are carved into the gold.
Strengths: Skilled practitioner of magic, knowledgeable about dragons and their culture/weaknesses.
Weaknesses: Extremely limited knowledge of the outside world. Not good with most material weapons. Can be curt and evasive.
Personality: Observant, and reserved, Uroga is more keen to listen than to speak. However, she isn't meek; she can lead when needed, and she will speak her mind when there's more than just herself on the line. Typically only performs tasks if they somehow benefit herself or her Mother.
Biography: Before she became a powerful mage, Uroga was living on the streets of Savenoria. Sweeping inns, selling flowers, and harvesting crops, the young girl did everything she could to survive.

One day, she found herself travelling with a kind band of merchants, who were making their way through the mountains to Saresland. However, on the way there, the caravan was attacked by a ravenous pack of wolves. Scared and alone, Uroga ran as fast and as far as she could through the mountainous forest. Eventually, she found an entrance to a large cave, filled with stalagmites and piles upon piles of gold and other treasures.

This was the residence of Hyrgalth the Wise; a Hornnose dragon with a massive, jagged, horn and wings black as night. If this had been any other moment, with any other person, Hyrgalth would have killed them instantly. But right then, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Perhaps she could sense that this young girl had great untapped magical potential, or maybe it was because Hyrgalth had recently lost a clutch of eggs and she desperately needed to fill that gaping hole in her heart. Whatever her reason, she adopted Uroga and taught her the ways of draconic language, culture, and magic.

Now fully grown, Uroga has become much stronger than Hyrgalth could have ever hoped for. With an increase in attacks on humanoid settlements led by power-hungry dragons, Hyrgalth sent her beloved Daughter to join the Hunters Guild. It was the perfect opportunity for her to eliminate some long standing rivals, as well as a chance for Uroga to experience the outside world.

I think we already have our two magic users. But we'll see.

[Ovesa]

Ok, I understand

[Ovesa]

If you want, I can rewrite my character into a non-spellcaster if it means having a more balanced group for RPing.

We do indeed have our two spellcasters already

I just haven't gotten around to updating the OP yet

[Ovesa]

Here's an updated, non-spellcaster version of my character.

NS Name: Ovesa
Character Name: Uroga
Race: Orc
Age: Early 20's
Sex: Female
Appearance: Tall and broad shouldered. Long, black hair, pulled back into a messy braid. Teal-grey skin with white freckles. Vibrant yellow eyes. Smaller than average tusks. Wears studded dark leather armor, gloves and boots. Her amulet is a vibrant, faceted red gem, set into gold. Draconic runes are carved into the gold.
Strengths: A fierce combatant skilled with swordsmanship, knowledgeable about dragons and their culture/weaknesses.
Weaknesses: Knows little about the outside world, aside from what her Mother taught her. Curt and evasive. Typically only performs tasks if they may somehow benefit her or her Mother.
Personality: Observant, and reserved, Uroga is more keen to listen than to speak. However, she isn't meek; she can lead when needed, and she will speak her mind when there's more than just herself on the line.

If this had been any other moment, with any other person, Hyrgalth would have killed them instantly. But right then, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Perhaps she could sense that this young girl was a font of untapped potential, destined to shape the world. Or maybe it was because Hyrgalth had recently lost a clutch of eggs, and she desperately needed to fill that gaping hole in her heart. Whatever her reason, she adopted Uroga and taught her the ways of draconic language, culture, and (to a limited extent) magic.

Now fully grown, Uroga has become much stronger than Hyrgalth could have ever hoped for. With an increase in attacks on humanoid settlements led by power-hungry rival dragons, Hyrgalth sent her beloved daughter to join the Hunters Guild. It was the perfect opportunity for her to eliminate some long standing rivals, as well as a chance for Uroga to experience the outside world.

Indeed, Accepted

[Ovesa]

Yay! I'll post soon

[Revlona]

Btw, Hyrgalth will have the be a massive exception

I'm willing for their to be outliers in the dragon and humanoid societies but in this kind of world with the kind of hatred between the races, they have to be just what they are, outliers.

It doesn't make sense to skip ahead, considering everyone but Ovesa either didn't post or their characters are still on the way to meet up.

It doesn't make sense to skip ahead, considering everyone but Ovesa either didn't post or their characters are still on the way to meet up.

I agree. Revlona, do you want to start the meeting IC? Should the characters interact a bit first? Or did you have something else in mind?
