The RP.

Discussion.

Welcome to Dragonblood! Another semi-traditional RP of mine similar to Shadowmyst. except MUCH more light-hearted and less gritty.

The premise of Dragonblood is that you're a good friend of Felix Sanders (AKA my character) and it happens to be Felix's birthday. His 16th one. So, naturally, it's party time. During the outings and hanging outs and general having fun, Felix buys 5 vials of what he is told is Dragon's blood, and he is also told to drink it. Something in his gut, (and yours) tells him that he and his friends should.

You do, and of course, turn into dragons. Hilarity Ensues.

This also, however, opens up an entire new and unseen realm of possibilities. The Masquerade is shattered, and a new world is revealed to the kids. What you do in this world is up to you.


DA RULEZ

1: NO godmodding. NO Omniscience. NO breaking of the Fourth wall, EVER. Violation of this rule will result in a strike, and the offending post struck from the records/ demanded to be edited depending on the severity. Yes, I know you're making a dragon, so it'll be hard to not be too overpowered. But remember, a fireball to the face is a fireball to the face, not matter what you're made of.

2: I go by a three strikes, You're out rule. you get two warnings before I kill your character and ban you from the RP.

3: The RP takes place in Modern Day New York City and migrates to and between Arcadia, the realm of fantasy. On the whole, the RP will revolve around the 5 dragon kids and their adventures around and between the 2 worlds. And the RP starts as soon as we have 5 dragon kids. What I'm trying to say is that if you want to join after we have the 5 dragon kids. Send me a PM before doing so, and I will tell you what's available.

4: Cador is the RP's Co-GM. Listen to him when I'm not around to give judgment on various things. He is permitted to hand out strikes and approve characters.

5: Got a question? Not sure about an idea or concept? Ask me or Cador! If you have to stop to seriously contemplate whether or not X is a good idea or will fly in the RP, then ask us and we'll give you the verdict. There are certain degrees or ridiculousness we're willing to go to, so it's always safe to ask.

6: Have fun, and try not to go on a fleeting rampage that'll destroy NYC.


THE DRAGONS

Felix and co. will, early in the RP, purchase a stand on which 5 vials of a viscous red liquid is contained. These 5 vials are the titular Dragon's Blood, and each vial has a stopper with a unique color, representing the type of dragon the blood stems from. I'm allowing a surprising amount of freedom concerning what exactly your draconic form looks like. The only thing set in stone being, essentially, scales and the appropriate color of them and the powers and abilities you gain with that form. You should know what a classic European and Chinese dragon looks like, and, chances are you'll be sticking to roughly either one of those forms when you make your character. The color of your scales do determine various facets of your draconic form, and are listed below for your convenience:

Red: The Dragon of the Mountains and Hills. This dragon is covered with brilliant red to brass scales and typically lives in mountains, hills, and generally rugged terrain. This dragon breathes streams of searing flames, and is among the toughest and strongest of the dragons in combat. This dragon regularly bathes in lava, can exist comfortably in the hottest of Earth's and Arcadia's environments, and is the only dragon who can fly close enough to and engage in conversation with the Phoenix Solar as he makes his rounds through Arcadia.

Blue: The Dragon of the Skies and Sands. This Dragon is covered with scales of various blue shades and typically lives in open plains and vast deserts. This dragon breathes blasts of lightning, and is a fast flier and burrower. This dragon loves fierce storms, and is immune to the effects of wind and shock. Blue Dragons love to fly the highest reaches of the sky and occasionally enjoy digging through desert sands in search of treasure, and as such needs little oxygen to breath and never suffers from altitude sickness or suffocation underground, though they are horrible swimmers and are naturally afflicted with hydrophobia.

Green: The Dragon of the Forests. This dragon is covered with green and brown scales and is typically found residing in deep forests and jungles. This dragon breathes clouds of various gases, mainly toxic ones, preferably chlorine, and is among the most magically capable of the dragons. It has a special attachment to the forests and can surprisingly easily camouflage itself and navigate through forests of any sort. It is immune to all poisons in existence, and most diseases (Scale Rot being the exception).

White: The Dragon of the Tundra and Ice. This dragon is covered with white and silver scales and usually resides in cold mountains, tundras, and artic reaches. It breathes freezing blasts of ice and features formidable scales and sharp claws. In direct contrast to Red Dragons, White Dragons consider freezing blizzards and arctic wastelands perfect vacationing opportunities. And can exist comfortably in the coldest environments of Earth and Arcadia. They are also the most travel capable of the Dragons, being good fliers, diggers, and swimmers, and can exist indefinitely submerged in ice, icy waters, or icy skies.

Black: The Dragon of the Marsh and Seas. This dragon is covered with pure black scales and resides in coastal marshes and oceans. It breathes corrosive blasts of acid and can survive indefinitely underwater. They are immune to acids, poisons, and noxious gasses of all sorts (Scale Rot, again, being the exception), and have the strongest stomachs of the dragons, able to happily eat the most rotten of food and flesh without so much as getting the runs. They are also capable of surviving the crushing depths of the deepest oceans, despite their rather fragile bone structure, compared to other dragons.

Aside from these, you may look however you like and can slightly tweak your powers as you see fit. If we don't agree on your draconic form when you make your character, we'll work with you until it works.

Regardless of your draconic choice. Your human form will invariably be altered to represent your change into the mythical. You'll find yourself more athletic, fit, strong and fast, your vision will be sharp and acute, and you can invariable survive conditions that would kill a lesser man, such as falling a great height, or sustaining great traumas.

'''Background:''' Basic Biography of your character, including any skills he may have this is what determines if you get into this RP or not. so make it good.

Felix is below, minus a draconic form to allow you other people to have choices

Name: Felix Sanders

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Height: 6 feet even. Dragon is undecided.

Weight: 160 Lbs. Dragon is undecided.

Appearance: Felix is your typical handsome popular kid. Medium length, brass colored hair that hits the bottom of his neck in the back, mostly unkempt and ruffled. Beautiful green eyes, mostly clear, light tan complexion with some moles here and there. His regular attire consists of Lucky Brand, form fitting jeans, Timberland boots or simple loafers, Quiksilver branded shirt, and a black hoodie for rainy and/or overcast days.

Draconic Appearance: Dragon undecided

Personality: Felix is a social person. He hangs out with everyone from the jocks to the nerds to the gamers to the preps in high school, and manages to be friends with all of them. He has decent grades, good enough to keep him playing soccer, but far from the honor roll. And is essentially just an all around Nice Guy and natural leader (being a Leo might have something to do with that). He's almost never loses his temper, and tends to react to serious situations with humor; to the point where if Felix is acting serious, then you know that something very bad or personal has happened or is about to happen.

Background: Felix is an orphan.

His parents died in a car accident when he was barely old enough to walk, and he was sent to the care of his Godfather and uncle, Michael, in New York. Michael, in Felix's words, is the coolest uncle ever. The two of them get along perfectly, and almost never get into serious arguments. Mike is a Chemistry Professor at the local college, and actually makes a pretty good pay, enough to have a good house next to a large forest in the NYC suburbia. He doesn't think much about what his parents were like, or what his life would've been like had he not lost them. But he's happy enough with his friends in uncle in NYC. He loves soccer, and is slightly interested in fantasy. World of Warcraft disgusts him, but he likes playing games like Zelda and Final Fantasy. Speaking of games, he's a pro gamer. And owns in everything from Modern Warfare 2 to Smash bros.

SIGN UPS ARE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Name: Sarina Brooke

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Height: 5'2 feet as a human, 8'3 as a dragon, 9'1 tail.

Weight: 100 pounds for human, 550 for dragon.

Appearance: Blue Hair, blue eyes. Dyed hair because she think it looks cool as she watches anime. Her hair is astoundingly messy and seems to go off in random directions down to her shoulders. Strands go every which way curving downwards. Is a poor student so doesn't own many sets of clothes. Usually found in some sort of t-shirt, jacket jeans combo with ocassional tracksuit thrown in. Prefers wearing red in direct contrast to her hair and eyes, and thus has a red jacket that she favours and wears almost all the time. Blue jeans are the norm with a white t-shirt. Also, she doesn't care at all about fashion so goes with what she thinks is comfortable and clean for the day (Red Jacket does not count). Owns a single pair of running shoes that she wears for all ocassions.

Draconic Appearance: Blue scales. Instead of the standard pair of wings for a typical dragon, the wings are split into three on each side. The front wings will overlap above the ones behind them and those will overlap with the back wings in the same way. They cover more area in total than a typical set. the front wings extend all the way to the head and the back wings to the halfway point of the tail. The folds of the skin within the wings are coloured blood red. When grounded, the long tail usually drags around, but it's kept straight behind when in flight.

Personality: Weird girl who always seems to be thinking about strange things. Is friendly with felix and very few others. Is rarely serious and her thought process is difficult to understand. For example, if you're having a conversation about politics, she could suddenly say, "Hockey gold, Canada or Russia?" (Thought process would be politics -> different countries -> intercountry sports rivalries, Canada or Russia?)

Background: Sarina was born in England and her parents sent her abroad to America to study. Her official guardian is her uncle but the two dislike each other and live seperately. She rents a cheap apartment a good distance away from the school and pays the bills with the money her parents send over and some of her part-time wages. Her job is at a restaurant where she's learning to be a chef. The job takes up her time during weekends.

Sarina dislikes school in general as she has to do work and doesn't get paid for it. she attends enough to get a passing grade but obviously does not do spectacularly. Her parents remained uninformed of this and her uncle doens't care enough to do anything about it. She knows Felix since he's the only person in the school to actually talk to her. The only time she'll talk to anyone else is if there's some sort of group project to do to pass the course. Otherwise, she'll be the quiet girl who's either snoring through lessons or staring on the window while managing to absorb enough information to get above 50% on the tests.

In her spare time, she watches anime ocassionally but mostly wanders the town listening to jazz and/or rock. She despises metal and most pop songs. She doesn't mind classical. Her apartment contains all the necessities of life, and nothing much more. She has a bed, toiletries, and a laptop. Her kitchen in comparison to the rest of the house, is completely jam packed with utensils, food in the fridge, an extra fridge for more food, and a chef's hat. Surprisingly, she doesn't cook much despite the massive supply excess as she's a light eater.

Doesn't own a cell phone as the only numbers she knows are her parents', her uncle's and felix's.

Cador SSSSSSSSS- from Behind You Since: Jan, 2011

#5: Jan 23rd 2011 at 7:47:53 PM

Name: Chris 'Cador' Ethanael

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Height: Human form: 5' 2" Dragon: 11' 5" tall, and is about 22' in length, including his tail. Disregarding his tail he's more like 14' 3" lengthwise.

Weight: Human: 136 lbs. Dragon: 956 lbs.

Physical Appearance: To both his mother's and his chagrin, he takes his skin complexion from his father, meaning that he has a bit of an acne problem. Chris has a rather pale complexion, from a combination of not getting enough sun and being naturally pale. He has hazel eyes and glasses, and is slightly on the chubby side. (Well, was.) He has short brown hair and a seemingly well groomed mustache. He's taken to wearing button up shirts with fantasy designs on them, along with simple blue jeans. After becoming a dragon, his eyes are now yellow with black slits for pupils, and he is now much more physically fit than he was to begin with; he now has a four-pack set of abs, among other things.

Draconic Appearance: A green dragon, he'll realize that he can control the potency of the poisonous gas that he breathes, but right now would look like one of the dragons from the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual, except sleeker. While he does get an increase in his physical ability, he prefers to rely more on magic. He seems to have a strange sense of presence when in wooded areas, as though he belonged among them. The creatures of these areas won't normally be disturbed by his presence.

Personality: Chris is a bit awkward when speaking in person, but seems to be much more relaxed about this on the internet, where he has several friends. Those that do get to know him realize that he can be a bit of a smart alack and grammar nazi, as the term goes. He also won't refrain from making a sarcastic remark, and he tends to state the obvious without realizing it. He also as a very...astute sense of humor laughing at about anything he thinks is funny, he'll make a joke or a pun if he thinks it'll be recieved well, although that's usually not the case. However, that's really only with his closest friends, and is much more reserved in public places like school. He can't stand being made fun of, and has a rather short temper. He likes to think of himself as a voice of reason of the group, but whether or not this is truly the case is debatable.

Background: Born and mostly raised in Kansas, he currently lives in New York to spend time with his dad, who moved there a couple years ago. His parents worked out that Chris would alternate schools and which of his parents he would be living with. A shy person, Chris was worried about not being able to make any friends, and subsequently spent most of his time on his dads computer until school started. It was there that he met and got to know a few others in the school, and eventually became good friends with them. Due to a specific video game that his step father introduced him to, he's tried to get his friends to call him Cador as a nickname. He's an avid reader and has played more than a few video games. Chris has always been a huge fantasy buff, and is knowledgeable about all kinds of mythology and fantasy based things. Chris originally met Felix at the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Game Stop tournament that took place on the release date of the game. Realizing that Chris had seen him at school a couple times, he approached Felix and became friends through their mutual enjoyment of video games.

First of, I just reserved the Green Dragon. Second, the Green Dragon is supposed to feel at home in the forest not the water...

Maybe you should have Cador be a Black Dragon...

[up]

Oops, well, this is a dilemma, Cador was talking to me via Skype about the dragon he wanted and was typing up the bio before I even finished making the sign-up thread. He was typing it up while you called green Justa. So... I honestly don't know how to judge this here.

One the one hand, Cador is a good friend of mine who's been in all the previous incarnations of Dragonblood, and has always been green. He's also the co-GM.

On the other hand, he didn't call it officially, and you did beat him to the punch. So I'll ask.

Are you positive about being green? Or are you willing to change? Your choice.

Um Cador, why did you want the Green Dragon. I just wanted that type for it's magic ability and affinity to forests.

If you want it more than me, I can easily move my character to Red Dragon...

Well, I've always stuck with the green mainly because of it's poison breath, as the magical affinity is new to this rendition of the RP, although I'm quite happy with the addition. In the previous working of this RP, the green dragon was basically a poison breath using aquatic dragon; the magical affinity was more up to the players themselves, although still influenced by the color.

I'll move to Red since you want Green that much, I was thinking about using a character with a bit of skill in martial arts before thinking of using a mage-type character anyways.

I plan on my character willingly challenging himself (like sometimes fighting monsters as a human rather than a dragon...)

Cador speaks the truth, however, also in previous renditions the dragons were based off of the 3.5 Dungeons And Dragons er... dragons.

I'm trying to be a little more original this time around, for the most part, so, officially, Green Dragons can't do water.

Cador has agreed to take black while you take Green Justin, so I say go for it before he changes his mind.

Ah, ninja'd again.

Name: Sarah Brooks

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Height: 5'7 tall as a human - 7'5 tall as a dragon, 11 Feet long sans tail, the tail is another 9 feet long.

Weight: 110 pounds as a human, as a dragon 870 Lbs.

Appearance: Sarah has long, straight black hair that reaches to the middle of her back, pretty blue eyes and somewhat pale skin. She usually wears simple old jeans, sneakers and sleeveless shirts with a jacket or a hoodie on top. Sarah occasionally wears her hair up in a ponytail though most of the time it's left untied.

Draconic Appearance: As a dragon she is covered in slightly bigger and tougher scales than the rest of the dragons. They have a pure white color from the top of her head and her back, though as they get further away from her spine they start getting a bluish silver color. Her claws are very long and sharp, good to grab onto almost anything. On certain key parts of her body she also has bigger and tougher scales to serve as extra protection. She has long large wings to compensate for the extra weight that her specialized scales produce. On her head Sarah as the white dragon has a big and tough crest plate for protection. Over her spine she also has some tough bone like scales in the form of knobs for the same purpose.

Personality: Sarah is the kind of girl that is extremely quiet and calm around unknown people but when surrounded by those that get her trust turns into a warm and cheery person. It's not that she's shy, she can tell a half memorized speech on a microphone to an auditorium full of students she doesn't know without a problem, she just has a hard time being spontaneous around unknown people so she gets a little inhibited. Sarah also has a fierce sense of justice and tends to think about morality a lot. A little dragon like quality about her is how she hoards things. She's fairly possessive of her material possessions and dislikes throwing or getting rid of almost anything.

While her room isn't too messy right now, she does have a drawer full of store receipts. Lastly it's extremely hard to make Sarah really angry or sad. Sure, she might act playfully angry at times but she makes a point of controlling her emotions. She claims that while she might get mad or dislike someone she will never hate a person.

Background: Sarah has never been able to set down on something. When interests are concerned she loves starts but rarely does she get to the end before something new catches her attention. The girl has started on many hobbies only to leave most of them behind. From the karate lesson she went as a little girl, to the guitar lessons she abandoned after two months, to two months on MM Os which she spent trying out all classes and only reaching a tenth of the level cap. She played soccer for about three years which is where she passed from acquittance to close friend with Felix. Unlike with hobbies Sarah is really grounded when relationships are concerned.

A year ago, however, there occurred an event that would mark her life. For the first time on her life, while walking home somebody tried to rob her. But she was stubborn, she would not surrender her purse nor would she comply with anything the man demanded of her. Her heart was filled with fear, but even more with indignation which clouded her judgment. What right does that man have to demand anything of her? To demand her to be scared and comply with his wishes? Sarah clung stubbornly to her beliefs while the man reached for his gun... and just by a miracle of heaven did his hand slip and the gun fell to the ground. Sarah managed to run away safely due to that... but not before the event marked her. That day she realized that her stubbornness would one day get her killed and that she was only alive due to luck. She would never surrender to somebody out of fear, and in this world, that might get her killed if she crossed the wrong person.

After this Sarah spent weeks closed off. She wouldn't let herself miss class, but due to her mood she avoided people and went straight home after school was over. She was scared and melancholic due to her seemingly mortality. In this time however Felix visited and supported her. With his help she managed to overcome her sadness and go back to normal. It was in this time when the two of them became boyfriend and girlfriend, and have been so without any major problems to date.

Apart from that she lives in a nice home, with both parents well and alive and an older sister that she's really close with.

I'm not as descriptive as other playes, so I'll just post what I got now and you can say the improvements.

Name: Kyle Edwards

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Height: 6’5” as a human, 7’0” as a dragon. 12’2” long as a dragon excluding tail, 18’3” with tail.

Weight: 201 lbs as a human, 962 lbs as a dragon.

Appearance: Kyle’s body is quite well toned. His hair is brown flat top, clean shaving when it comes to facial hair and has olive skin with surprisingly few blemishes. Kyle used to have brown eyes but the transformation caused them to turn yellow. He has a liking towards denim and tends to wear a denim jacket with jeans with usually a plain t-shirt and runners.

Draconic Appearance: In his dragon form, he looks mostly like a western dragon (except for his mane but we'll get back to that later) with red scales with a yellow underbelly. His hair becomes shaggy (much to Kyle’s dislike) but still brown and processes a mane that connects to the hair on his head to near the end of his tail. His wings are usually very close to the rest of his body. His teeth are quite sharp with claws to rival them. His claws are not good with digging but help with climbing and fighting. He breathes fire breath at a continuous stream. Better at climbing than flying.

Personality: Around others, Kyle can range from eccentric and playful to level-headed and serious. He has the tendency to challenge himself to sometimes idiotic lengths, possibly to prove himself. At times, Kyle can seem insensitive due to not picking up social cues but still genuinely cares about other people.

Background: At a young age, Kyle was diagnosed with autism. Due to this, Kyle feels that he is being treated as the baby of the family, despite having a younger brother, Eric. Because of this, he tries to prove himself by picking up Martial Arts and getting good grades in school. However, Kyle feels like the parents write those off as hobbies rather than him proving himself.

On the other hand, his shorter and younger brother Eric seems to have an interest in Science and despite Kyle's efforts in studying, Eric still gets higher grades. This only contributed to Kyle's inferiority complex.

Kyle has an interest in cartoons and RPGs but tries to hide it from his family as he believes that would make his parents see him as more childish.

One day, Kyle randomly met up with Felix and found they both had an interest in swords, fantasy and games. Eventually they met up more and more to the point that the two of them became close friends. He has a special connection to Felix due to the fact that Kyle doesn't feel the need to prove himself in front of him.

Cador, you've been in this RP three times, but be aware changes do need to be made.

There's an occasional typo, mind fixing them?

Starting with your length. I discussed this with you earlier, but it's still bugging me. Could you do me a favor and seperate body length and tail length? 12'5 is short, compared to the others. Here's you last chance to tweak that.

Looks like you got the message concerning no more water and better magic. Cool.

Also, although it's kind of implied, could you be specific on how you met Felix?

Justin, Neo. You guys left a lot to be desired when compared to Cador and Daltar, but that's cool, I'm here to make it awesome.

Justin, You said you made this short so changes can be laid out and made. Okay, I won't ask for a larger bio, but if you make it so, I'll be a happier Ren. Your dimensions are fine, but, honestly. 1000 Pounds? You can weigh around that, sure, but don't just simplify it to 1000, come on, man.

Also, I don't have a problem with you having a mane, as long as you understand that it is absolutely not common for traditional western dragons to have any hair of any kind, anywhere on their bodies. Spikes, horns, and the occasional fin are the norm for western dragons. the Chinese/Japanese style dragons are a different story, however. If you're adamant on the mane, I won't make you change it.

It's spelled "continuous". One i.

Persona is good.

Background: Autism, rock on, I have a good friend who has it, obsessed with movies, but a good, smart, lad. I'm assuming you know autism =/= retarded, so if I see your character indulging in Hulk Speak or You No Take Candle, I might have to slap a bitch.

You used the phrase "Due to this" twice, right after the sentences they're featured in. Switch one to "because of this" and you're good.

Your background is passable, but you left out a major detail.

How did you meet Felix and become friends with him? Give me just a single sentence and I will slap a bitch.

Fix all that and you're good.

Neo: Convert to feet. Stop being lazy. 160 cm = 5'2 feet. 200 cm is 6'5 feet. 300 cm is 9'8.

That's a pretty long tail and a pretty short body. Which, concerning 3 sets of wings (which I'll get to later) isn't a lot of space to work with. Try switching the body and tail length for great success. Or, if you're going for a long tail and small body still. A body around 8 feet long and a tail around the low end of 9 should be fine.

100 Pounds and a height of 5'2, according to the BMI calculator, classifies you're character as unhealthily underweight. give yourself 10 pounds, it won't kill you, in fact, it'll save your life probably.

Likewise, 450 is pretty light for a Dragon, I understand flight and all that. But you're about the size of a horse larger, even. Give yourself 100 pounds or so.

Appearance: *smacks* This is not anime, you do not naturally have blue hair. Either state that you dyed it so because perhaps of your character's unhealthy addiction to anime, which actually sounds like a cool background trait, or give yourself a normal hair color. What's your skin color/ethnicity? Could you be a bit more specific about your clothes.

Draconic Appearance: 3 sets of wings...

Okay... Where? I imagine one's in the usual spot along the back. If you can find a picture that demonstrates this, that would be awesome, otherwise, you're kind of stretching it, there's plenty of wing styles out there that could emphasize good flight capability. Take, for instance, the brass dragon. Another desert dweller and flier of Dn D fame. Aside from that, you also left a lot to be desired concerning appearance, for instance, claws? tail? fins? maybe a spike or some such at the end of your tail? How good a flier/digger are you?

Personality: "Hard to describe too"? What? Did you just... not try? I get the weird girl with weird things on her mind bit, but come on. You can do better than this. Do you like anime, thus explaining your blue hair and strange tastes? Have you been to every anime convention in NYC? How friendly are you with Felix and not with others?

Background: Pretty Average History? Okay, stop speaking in fragments, full sentences please.

"Parents live happily but her parents abroad from Britain to study in America." what? Read that out loud and tell me it makes sense. I know what you're trying to say, but, come on.

Also. Want to know how I can tell you didn't read the rules?

"...study in America (I assume that's where the RP takes place)."

Rule 3: The RP takes place in Modern Day New York City and migrates to and between Arcadia, the realm of fantasy.

It's the Big Applesauce, bo. The Big Applesauce.

"Her uncle is her guardian until her next birthday but the two don't get along and don't actually live together. "

Then where the hell does she live? And why doesn't she stay with her parents when you said, not 2 sentences ago, that they live happily together?

Does she not like it in America? How did she meet and become friends with Felix? Why does she not go to school often? Is it because she doesn't like america? Why then, does she just hate the big city?

This bio, both yours and Justin's, actually feel rushed to me. To which I say. Slow the fuck down, and try again. Use full and better sentences.

With those out of the way...

Nick.

Be original. No expy's please.

Also. This is modern day NYC, not fucking Dungeons and Dragons. If you're in Arcadia, you're either a mythical beast/race, or a mage or witch of some sort. Otherwise, you're most likely just a human or even another friend of Felix's who happens to witness them become a dragon. Not a knight in shining armor. Unless the horse you ride happens to be the lower half of your body.

In the meantime. I'm going to finish Felix, seeing as black's the only color left (I always get stuck with black. It's because I'm Black, isn't it?). If we can get these fixed by tomorrow night for me (PST, around, say 6 PM), we'll get started.

Sorry Renagade, the main reason my bio is lacking is because I DO have autism and that has an affect on my language skills...though at least that will reassure you that I won't make my character a retard...

The weight issue...I'm terrible with imperial, that's what happens when raised in a country that metric is dominant.

And as the western dragon having a mane...I wanted to be original and try something different plus I prefer the body of western dragons over eastern ones...

I fixed up my bio now, feel free to review it.

EDIT: No wait, Bio was lacking. Need to fix it up AGAIN!

Oh, YOU have autism. Well, my condolences, I didn't know. It's cool though, you fixed yourself up quite well.

I actually lol'd at the (except for the mane but we'll get back to that later) part.

It's cool. If you want a mane. Have it. You understand that it's uncommon and that's all I needed.

And just how many people here are unfamiliar with the imperial measuring system? I spent more than half of my life overseas and I know pounds and feet like the back of my hand. For those who are familiar with the metric system only, here's a basis to go by when converting. The typical human male these days stands roughly 1.8 meters tall. Or 5 feet, 10 inches. I happen to be around 1.85 meters tall, or 6 feet even. The average male also weighs, I think 80 Kilograms? Which is roughly 175 pounds. I weigh around 70 kilograms, around 155 pounds or so.

Also, google Kilograms to Pounds and Centimeters to feet and all your problems will be solved.

But no, you're pretty much solid Justin.

@Renagade:

Thanks. I was originally going to make Kyle The Un-Favourite but I decided him having an inferiority complex would be more interesting to role-play. The fact that being taller and older to the person who he believes is the family's "Big Brother" does not help matters.

It's cool man, we got it all ironed out and you're ready for play.

That being said, I posted some important information concerning Arcadia in the Discussion topic, that you are free to... well, discuss about, this applies to everyone. If you have an idea or think something needs changing, post it. Because I completely came up with the idea behind Arcadia not 6 hours ago when I first started typing the RP. So it needs fleshing out.
