The island of Sevii, an island scarcely inhabited by humans that endure the harsh cold and bad weather. Life is hard and surviving is tough, but there is one thing that brightens the life here; pokemon. Dragon pokemon, to be precise.
The inhabitants of Sevii had long learned to tame dragon pokemon without catching them with pokeballs, forging life-long bonds with them and living with them in their village. Of course Sevii had pokemon, but when it came to dragon pokemon they had them all. Special housing was created for the pokemon, there were facilities for feeding and grooming them, facilities to train them when they were unruly and even dentists for the dragons.
Every year the village held a tournament and a festival to celebrate their living together peacefully. Lately though, word of suspicious groups capturing pokemon against their will. Many people are nervous about the festival being disrupted by these strange people, but the festival will not be cancelled.
You are a dragon rider/tamer/breeder, teacher/student at dragon academy or an other inhabitant of the island and will try to fight through the hardships to come.
The village of Ajagara is the main location of this roleplay. It is located near a large lake and a forest and there is plenty of pokemon wildlife to hunt. You can live in the village, just outside the village or at a completely different location.

Village occupations:
- Student: You still go to school and are busy learning about dragon care, feeding and grooming. At the age of 10 you are brought to the hatchery and will pick a dragon or be given an egg to nurture and protect.
Schooling:
Pre-school:
Age: 1/2 - 5
Elementary school:
Basic knowledge of dragons, species, sub-classes and their care. No real interaction with dragons. Students are not allowed to bring their dragons to school. Along with some dragon based classes, students are also taught writing, maths and other normal school subjects.
Age: 5 - 13
Dragon Academy (High School):
Extensive teachings about dragon habits, taming, training, breeding and fighting. Ordinary school subjects are only minor classes. Students must have their dragons nearby at all times. Smaller species or pre-evolutions are allowed in class, while larger dragons may wait in the stables belonging to the academy. Students will be giving extensive flight-and-ride training on their own dragon or a dragon from the academy. The provided school clothes are mandatory, as well as training gear.
Age: 13/18
- Teacher: You teach young children or teens at elementary school or the dragon academy how to take care of their dragons, how to properly hatch eggs or even certain flying techniques.
- Hunter: Together with your dragon you hunt pokemon to make sure we have food at all times. Hunters are busy around the clock, depending on their dragon's preferred time to hunt.
- Fishermen: The simple task of catching fish. Fishermen have a pretty easy job as all they have to do is hang out their nets and let their dragons do what they do best; scaring other pokemon.
- Baker (often incorporated with farming): You bake everybody bread, cakes and all kinds of other treats.
- Blacksmith: You create all kinds of items to help other riders with their dragons, such as saddles and special contraptions for injured dragons. One of the busiest job in the village.
- Defender: Riding a wide array of dragons, defenders are like Sevii's police force. They patrol the lands, seas and skies and protect the village from enemies and rogue dragons.
- Tamers: By far the task most involving rogue dragons and therefor quite dangerous. Tamers go out every day and patrol the island in search of wild pokemon. Once found they tame them, if possible, so they won't be aggressive towards humans. Most dragons are brought back to the village and trained properly before being set free, to ensure it won't ruin the village.
This group of riders also transport unmanageable dragons to new locations.
- Breeders/caretakers: These people are constantly handling dragons, hatchlings and eggs, making their schedule extremely stressful. Breeders ensure the successful breeding of dragons and take care of eggs and hatchlings all year round. They make sure the pokemon find a proper match, have a good nest and collects the eggs to check them for healthy babies. Breeders have a lot of knowledge of dragon physiology and will often join explorers in case their expertise is needed. They also double as "Dragon Doctors" as most people call them.
- Scientists/charters: Constantly busy inventing new ways to improve their way of living, scientists are among the smartest, but goofy inhabitants of Sevii.
-Explorers: Explorer is not particularly a specific line of work. Once every few weeks a group of riders are put together to explore uncharted lands. They consist of many different people with many different occupation, though there is always the same base.
At least one defender is brought along to protect the group. A tamer to deal with difficult dragons, a breeder to take care of the dragons if something goss severely wrong and a scientist/charter to keep track of the map.
(I'll probably be adding more to this list, so please help by suggesting things and notify me if I missed something.)

Rules:
- All Iwaku rules apply.
- No godmodding, powerplay, meta-gaming, etc.
- There may be some swearing, romance and violence, but nothing too much. Anything beyond PG-13 should be moved to PM or fade to black.
- This is basically a pokemon universe, with ideas inspired by HTTYD. As such, normal animals will be replaced by pokemon.
- Pokemon evolve due to the bond with their partners and in a way a leveling system. This is just a loose concept though, so we'll have to discuss times of evolution as the roleplay goes on.
- At this point in time younger characters (children) may have one unevolved or non-evolvable dragon, while older ones (teens) may have one already trained dragon and another just in training or even still in an egg. This may be altered later.
- Legendary dragon pokemon do exist, but are EXTREMELY rare and will not be in this roleplay for a while. We will discuss their part and connection to players later in the roleplay.
- All pokemon have a shot limit, though this is somewhat altered in the roleplay. For very strong attacks there should be a low limit such as 5, but ordinary attacks can be limited to 10 or 8. Weak attacks may be used between 15 and 20 times if preferred.

* Yes, I am aware of some of the obvious non-dragon pokemon in this list, but they were added nonetheless. This is either because their evolution is a dragon type or their appearance suggests they are a dragon type.
If you feel like another pokemon looks much like a dragon, let me know and I'll consider adding it to the list.
