    Merrik's Thoughts on the Army:
    I first and foremost aim to fill the following ranks:
    1st Captain: my right hand tamer whom I will trust with all leadership in my stead should the times call for it.
    2nd Captain: one who will be a support to myself and my 1st captain.
    Scouts: those whose primary duty is to be our first line of offense and defense: observance
    Defenders: these tamers must be powerful protective mana users. A strong defensive wall against our enemies will be infinitely useful.
    Warriors: as with any army, all soldiers are to fight, but I will need a team with a powerful offense specifically to be send out to deal damage. These will have to be skilled in mana, but also very well trained with a weapon and as a team with their dragons.

    ASSIGNED RANKS: (Not to be confused with combat roles, as listed below)
    1st Captain: Goliath Atreus
    2nd Captain: Terria Tetra
    Scouts: Saira Rinien, Avren Libram, Aris Vaughn
    Defenders: Goliath Atreus, Narien Ki'ila, Dalaith Malai, Illyria Renthir,
    Warriors: Terria Tetra, Kalona Fischer, Requiem Mortalis, Reverie Gray, Aiko Vadarys, Aislin Whitely

    I've set out the following fighter classes to establish a means of arranging the army, each tamer must fall into one category of combat roles as a primary and one as a secondary:
    Offensive Mage
    Defensive Mage
    Offensive Non-mana Fighters
    Dragon-warrior
    Healers
    Ambush Warriors


    So far, my thoughts are as such:
    +Goliath has proven himiself a valuable warrior and earned both my respect and confidence. He will be my 1st Captain without question. I trust him to keep the others safe in battle with or without me. He will double as a defensive mage, as his bonded ability has grown much stronger since his time in Kona Petl.
    +Avren has grown as a healer and has put effort into developing himself as a warrior. While I will continue to encourage him to grow as a warrior, his role will be that of a healer. He will work as an archer as well, should the need arise.
    +Saira has gained my confidence as she has shown her capability as a survivor, a soldier, and a friend to many in the order. She will serve as an archer, as this has been her strength, but I would double her as an offensive mage, given she continues to develop her elemental mana.
    +Kalona concerns me as she grows more and more ill. She holds a vast amount of potential as a mage but if this mark brings the end of her mana use, which I sometimes fear it will, she will need to serve as a spear-woman, for she works well with her weapon and is quick on her feet. I hope to maintain her in her role as an offensive mage and a defensive mage, but time will tell if such hopes will be for naught.
    + Dalaith continues to grow and develop her capability in fields of both mana and combat. Now that she has established a level of self-sufficiency with a weapon after her time spent at the Stallion tribe, I am more confident putting her in the front line as a mage. She must be able to defend herself if her mana fails and now, I feel she can do at least this. She will now serve as a defensive mage primarily, and an offensive mage secondarily.
    +Terria will serve as an offensive mage, as I originally planned. But we may need to pull her back at some point and use her to heal the wounded with Avren, for there are no others with any level of skill in the healing magicks.
    +Requiem has begun to show potential. His bonded ability has become well established after his time at Kona Petl and after some displays of aptitude in combat, I'm confident in placing him onto the battle field. I am most inclined to position him as an offensive mage and an offensive non-mana fighter.
    +Reverie has finally dealt with the disturbing issues she had previously displayed and grown to be a stronger mage because of it. I feel she can now work to gain aptitude with a blade, but I still am not confident in her combat abilities. She will play the role of a dragon warrior and fight from atop her dragoness, keeping herself out of harm by remaining in the skies. She will lead the three newcomers.
    +Narien has displayed a level of courage (or craziness) that leaves me oddly comfortable about his place on the battle field. The man is adept with a blade and has incredible perception. A bit unorthodox, but capable. I fear his elemental mana is not yet stable enough to be a strong weapon, but his bonded ability has grown since his time at Kona Petl, as was hoped. I will aim to utilize him primarily as a defensive mage, but also as an offensive non-mana fighter.
    +Aislin TBA
    +Aiko, Aris, and Illyria have not yet gained my confidence that they should be in the midst of the battle. They will serve as dragon warriors and remain airborn, dousing the foes with fires and transporting the injured back to the healers with Reverie as their lead.
    (Note to crimson: I'll edit this once Xylia is in)


  • +Posting/Activity Rules and Regulatory Fun
    +1+
    +Lengthy Unexplained Absences+
    Any unexplained absence proceeding the span of one week will result in a warning. If said absence continues for two weeks, you will be considered MIA and you will lose your slot in this roleplay, but are welcome to apply again in the second chapter.
    +2+

    +Multiple Unexplained Absences+
    If you regularly go missing for several days without a word and are constantly responsible for holding up the progress of this roleplay, you will receive a warning. While real life isn't always predictable and you may have other roleplays, I expect you to have a level of dedication and respect for this roleplay just like everyone else. Should your behaviour continue and I or Erranruin feel that you have are severely dragging the roleplay down, your slot in this roleplay will be removed.
    Again, you're more than welcome to apply in the second chapter.
    +3+

    +Locking up Another Player's Character+
    In the case of a collaboration or interaction between characters, you will be expected to post in a punctual manner. If you do not have the time to do so at that moment in time, please refrain from entering into collabs or arranging character interactions.
    In a personally arranged collab you will be expected to post every 5 or 6 days. Failure to do so will be considered "locking up" another player's character and that player gains the right to end that interaction either by voiding the collab or by closing the interaction with a generic, non-altering post for your character. If you don't want to have your character spoken for, don't lock other player's character up.
    In a GM initiated collab you will be expected to post once a week, with a grace period of 2 days for explained tardiness. If you do not post within the week, you will be contacted and asked to post. If you do not post within the two days, your character will be moved along by either myself or by Erranruin to prevent the other players from being held up.
    +4+

    +Low Quality Posts+
    While I generally don't believe I hold the right to harshly criticize other player's posts, I expect a level of writing from this roleplay. If you are continually posting posts with less than 2 paragraphs, improper grammar, violations to the lore, or character altering of other player's characters, you will receive a warning which may lead to the loss of your slot in this roleplay. If you aren't willing to put effort into this roleplay like everyone else, you don't need to be in this roleplay.
    +5+

    +Time Limits+
    Unexplained Hiatus: 7 days warrants a warning. 14 days warrants your removal from this RP. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    Multiple Unexplained Hiatuses: 4+ days of unexplained absence warrants a warning. 3 warnings in one month warrants your removal from this RP. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    Multiple Excused Hiatuses: 5 or more absences with excuses, spanning 4+ days in one month will warrant the discussion of your removal from this RP. This means you are absent from this roleplay 20 days out of the month. If this persists into a second month you may be asked to leave this roleplay on the grounds that you do not have the time for it. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    +6+

    +I love you all+
    I don't like having to inflict these kinds of rules but I firmly believe they are for the good of the RP as a whole. I don't WANT to lose any of my players but I'd rather lose one or two instead of having the entire RP fail because it's constantly being held up. If you find these rules to be unfair or unjust, please contact me VIA pm and we can discuss your concerns.
    Thank you,
    ~Soul

How open are you to a different picture of the swamp dragon by the way? I like most of the picture, but the feet... That would be such an awkward dragon in any other enviroment than a swamp. I'm not even sure it would be able to walk on land. XD So if we could say the webbing isn't that ridiculous for a swamp dragon, I would appreciate it. Or use another image.

swamp_dragon.jpg

If we used this one, we could just say there was webbing between the feet and get rid of the talisman things on the horns. And the leaves on the end of the wings... I kinda like the original picture better, actually. XD Either way works, just as long as I have a dragon who can walk on land and fight somewhat well. :)

Ignored me here. It's no biggy, don't worry about it. :)
 
how do you do that awesome box thingy?

Without the spaces. Your text goes inbetween the two
 
Soul (and I think some other people had this problem with their cs, can't remember who), you have to be careful with the text colour on this site because some people (like me) view the site with a light coloured background which means if you make text white or very light coloured I can't see it. Its kind of annoying when you're writing a post its very hard to tell the difference between the text being white and the text being 'none' which will show up as white for people with the dark theme and black for people with the light theme. So try and remember to make your text 'none' thanks :) Wow that explanation went long -_- I've only just woken up lol

Oh, okay I hadn't seen that post before XD well, as nice as that picture is, I'm going to have to say no as it doesn't look at all like a swamp dragon. The one in the picture I've chosen is very close to what I had in mind. The written description takes precedence, the image is just an attempt to create a visual for the dragons. Just because the webbing in the picture is more intense, it doesn't mean you can't simply assume the actual webbing js more manageable.

For something so small and simple to fix like that I can't really see a reason to change the reference image, especially not to a forest-looking dragon :) I hope you can deal with that


Also; great posts everyone :3 I love relearning about old characters and meeting new ones ^~^

Hmm. Now the trick is going through everything I've posted and trying to find which are which and which are none :|
 
My post is so horrible in comparison to everyone else ~.~
 
You could change the style to opal under preferences so you can see what it looks like or I could upload a screenshot...
 
I dunno, it just is... When I get on my computer today I should edit my color and I should put more description in and I should finish the scene.... It's just that my scene is so much longer than a simple 'hey, how ya doing, what're you like, how bout we bond'
 
x-x just realized that mine and Anastasia's character names are way too similar..... Kinda makes you feel bad when she took a while coming up with hers and mine was just spurt of the moment, but my post is already up.....
 
actually that would take a few screenshots lol, everything after the second paragraph is either white, grey or green. Sorry its annoying but the white text on black background was giving me a headache :(
 
Hmm, so what do you suggest I do?


Edit: I think I fixed it

Don't worry about it, I didn't really like the image myself, just making sure I'm free to make the webbing a /little/ more manageable, which you answered, so I'm all happy about it.

Soul said Soul dids it...so I'm guessing Soul did-done-doed it!

*loopy from lack of sleep*

Can't post today...post would be lagging, if I could even read what has already happened, which I can't right now. Sorry. >.<' Soul, if you want me to still makes you one, I'll take a shot at it either later today or tomorrow. I'll even skip everyone but 04LIDOB, who also requested a picture thingie...so I guess I'll be doing both of you guys today. I'll post the pics here so I don't piss off the people waiting in my shop. But, look what I made last night!!!

What's the proper size for a post banner?
 
You'd have to ask Erran or Mowkie about that one, I'm still a noob on this site

And yes, that was my attempt at doing what Mowkie does. ... -.- its obviously harder than it looks because I have NO idea how she does all that fancy work with her images

Also, that's beautiful Mow <3
