[Other FULL] Never Split The Party: Dragon Slayers (Rated T for teen)

[Nidoking76]

The World​

The world of Freider (fray-der) was in chaos. 167 years ago, the nine kingdoms in Freider had a... disagreement. They declared war on each other. This war was called the War of the Nine Kingdoms, and it lasted for 136 years. 8 years later, Jard Howlon helped rebuild one of the kingdoms, Kondo (con-doe), and was made it's king. Despite his efforts, the kingdom was still devastated. After the War of the Nine Kingdoms, Kondo couldn't even remember where the other kingdoms were. The war was so devastating that none of the kingdoms did.
And that was probably for the better.

The Plot​

It's a beautiful day, thought Henther as he stood on the watch tower. For his job was to make sure nothing bad happened, and if he saw something, to blow the horn as a warning. However, nothing ever did happen. Ever. It was the same thing every day. Occasionally, Henther would see some hunters leaving or entering, or perhaps some wolves chasing a few deer. But there was never any reason to blow the horn. Henther looked at he horn thoughtfully. What is the point of a horn if it is never blown? he thought. Horns are made to be blown. What is the point if it isn't blown? Is it a waste to create a horn that is never blown? Henther smiled. He looked out into the distance. He saw the blue sky, the great forest... and a shadow. Henther's eyes widened. He saw the massive shadow of something on the ground. Then, Henther looked up.
Hundreds of feet above the ground was a dragon.
It's scales were as black as coal, and it had massive goat horns on top of it's head. It's back was covered in two rows of spikes, and it's wingspan was as big as a whale. Henther gasped, and reached for the not-so-pointless horn.

In his palace, Jard Howlon, the 58 year old king of Kondo, heard the horn. It's sound blasted through the city, and Jard thought everyone in the city must have heard it. Shocked, Jard looked out the window, and saw the shadow of a dragon pass over the city. He gasped. His guards looked out the window, and they both trembled with fear. Jard looked at both of them. The guards nodded. They knew the drill, one of them brought the king to safety, the other did the same to the prince. As one of the guards ran to get Riloon, the prince, a massive crash was heard. Jard looked out the window to see that the dragon had landed in the middle of the city, and roared.
The dragon's roar struck terror into the hearts of everyon. At the sound of it's roar, the entire itself seemed to shake with fear. No sooned than the wretched beast roared, everyone panicked. The dragon bellowed a sound that reminded Jard of a cruel, twisted laugh, and then raised it's immense wings and flew off. The king watched as the dragon rose into the air, and then flew off as quickly as it came. No one could tell how much time passed. But then, the real terror began. A moaning was heard.

Henther stood on the tower, trembling with fear. That dragon... it was pure evil. It was nothing but a cruel, sick, twisted creature that took joy in tormenting others. And when a dragon wanted you unhappy, you were unhappy. Then, Henther heard a moan. It started out as a few moans, then a number of moans, and then more moans than thought possible as it got louder and louder. Henther looked into the forest, and in the middle of it, he saw thousands of humanoid figures. They resembled humans at first glance, but with their mindless walk and rotting flesh, it quickly became quite clear that this dragon had brought thousands of undead with it. Henther blew the horn again.

Jard did not like it when he found out that the dragon had an army of zombies. That was, in a word, bad.
"The dragon flew north," Riloon said, "and according to one of the guards, that's the direction it came from as well." Jard nodded.
"This is bad," Riloon continued. Jard knew for a fact that once the prince started talking, it was hard to make him stop. "Not only will we have trouble getting food with all those undead, but it will also take a large amount of money to kill the beast as well."
Jard paused at that last part, and then said, "are you suggesting we hire a bunch of adventurers to kill that?"
Riloon smiled. "Worth a try."
Jard sighed. "Son, that beast won't go down easily. It's a dragon. A dragon, for crying out loud, a dragon! Do you honestly think that a bunch of adventurers can take that out? My god, all those people manage to kill are trolls and bandits, not dragons."
Riloon smiled again, and then repeated, "Worth a try."
Jard frowned. "You have a point. Make a waver, offer a reward, I don't care, just, get rid of the dragon."
Riloon laughed. "Don't worry father, I can feel it in my bones. It's gonna work."
"I have my doubts," Jard said.
"You always do father. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some adventurers to hire."
And with that, Riloon left with the fate of Kondo in the hands of a bunch of adventurers.

Your role​

As you can tell, you play as one of the adventurers Riloon hires. Your goal: go north and kill the dragon that threatense to destroy the kingdom. It won't be easy-that dragon won't go down easily. But hey, it's worth a try.

You should be ashamed that I even have to say this​

Never split the party. Ever. Don't split up and you should be fine. Most likely.

Sorry for double post, but here is my SU:

Name: Karath Highland
Age: 27
Appearance: Karath is a good seven feet tall, and about 178 pounds. He has brown hair, but no facial hair. His hair isn't very long, barely coming down to the top of his neck. His hair is also pretty wild, sticking out in multiple directions. He looks a bit thin, but quite a bit stronger than he looks. His eyes are dark blue, and his skin is a little bit paler than it should.
Karath wears a suit of mirror armor, a type of armor worn by Mirror mages which changes color to match his surroundings. But it isn't very thick and doesn't protect him from much. If he could, he'd wear a full suit of chain mail, but being a mirror mage, mirror armor is what he wears. For weaponry, he has a pair of large, razor sharp daggers, each having a blade as big as a dragon tooth, a sword that is a bit small, but is bigger than his daggers, and a small hatchet for an emergency.
Personality: Nobody knows how to describe Karath. He is clever, and prefers to think his ways out of situations than fight his way out of them. He likes to make jokes, but doesn't prank people, for he doesn't like pranksters. When he has to fight, he prefers to get up close and take them on head to head rather than shoot arrows, cast spells or sneak past them. However, he will do whatever is necessary to get the job done. He has a short temper, but isn't hard to calm down if you know how to. He doesn't give up easily; he'll spend days trying to find out how to do something, even if he knows he has absolutely no chance of success.
In his free time, he likes to practice fighting and climb trees. He prefers to spend time with others than be alone, but when he's thinking, he'll be determined to get somewhere quiet. He is easily unnerved, and he doesn't read much. He is very talkative, and prefers to talk than listen.
History: Karath's father was in the war. Just like Karath, his father, Drode Highland, was a mirror mage. Although Karath didn't necessarily want to be a mirror mage, when his father dies, he changed his mind. He went to become a mirror mage at the age of 14, and kept on practicing till he was 25.
Class: Mirror Mage
Class description which was brought to you by that quiz I mentioned:

Spoiler:

As swift as the Ninjas, fierce as the Monks, skilled as the Knights, and intelligent as the Spellcasters, the formidable Mirror Mage is probably the class that invokes the most terror and unease in its opponents. Not only are Mirror Mages extremely skilled with a sword, but often they are also masters offensive elemental magic, combat, and martial arts. Furthermore, Mirror Mages are often quite agile and speedy in battle, and some of the greatest Mirror Mages have mastered the art of stealth. However, there is often a tradeoff between skill in stealth and skill in martial arts: Mirror Mages who are more skilled in stealth are less skilled in martial arts and vice versa. On top of all that, Mirror Mages are experts of element magic and can easily launch a slew of powerful spells at their opponents. With their unique combination of abilities, Mirror Mages are a balanced and deadly class able to easily take down any opponent in battle. Lastly, Mirror Mages have one final incredible ability that surpasses all their others: the ability to use their powerful light magic to copy almost any opponent's spells or techniques. Using their light based mirror magic, Mirror Mages gain the ability to use almost any power their opponent uses. For example, if an opponent uses a special martial arts move or unleashes a powerful spell, Mirror Mages can use their own magic to instantly learn how to perform those abilities; however, Mirror Mages must first have the capacity to use those abilities. In other words, a Mirror Mage with low levels of agility and stealth would not be able to use any techniques copied from a Ninja. Similarly, a Mirror Mage with no knowledge of dark and light magic would not be able to use the powers and spells copied from an opponent who uses dark and light magic. Yet even with these restrictions, the Mirror Mage is still a truly amazing class!

Skills:
Light Slash

Spoiler:

This ability imbues powerful light magic into Karath's weapon for a single, powerful slash, which allows him to cut through almost any substance. However, it does have a slight cooldown, so it can't be used twenty times in a row.

Reflective Warp

Spoiler:

Allows Karath to teleport a short distance. Has a rather long cooldown.

Mirror Motion

Spoiler:

Allows Karath to become completely invisible for 10 seconds. Has a rather long cooldown.

Light Shard

Spoiler:

Sends a shard of light at the enemy, stunning foes and piercing flesh. Takes less than half a second to be used again.

This sounds interesting, I will try to have an SU up soon!

 

[Groc]

This looks pretty cool. Here's my SU!

Name: Wilhelm Sterling
Age: 27

Appearance: Wilhelm is slightly shorter than average, standing at 5' 3" and weighing roughly 130-135. His black hair is cut short, and is usually messy, since he doesn't style it, and he wears a hat all the time. His skin is lightly tanned, like paper dipped in tea, while his eyes are light green, like grass. With his big, bright eyes and large nose, he looks somewhat bird-like. He is short but solid, his bulk equal parts muscle and fat, but he is surprisingly agile for his size.
His usual outfit consists of dark blue pants with black hiking boots, a white linen shirt, purple vest, and black leather jacket. The vest and jacket have plenty of pockets, and he has several pouches attached to his belt. He is almost never seen without his very nice hat, a black bowler. For weapons, he carries a thick staff, nearly five feet long, and a simple dagger hidden in each boot.

Personality: Wilhelm is a curious and thoughtful sort, usually projecting a calm, laid-back demeanor, but he is easily excited. He is intrigued by new people and things, and enjoys touching or tinkering with them. This curiosity drives him to wander, to meet new people and see new things, read new books and eat new foods.
He often seems a little scatter-brained to people, with his calmness, tendency to ramble on about nothing, and compulsive need to meddle. As a kid, he was good at fights, so he can be a bit arrogant, but slow to anger. His moods tend to shift rather abruptly, going from good-natured talking to energetic moving and rambling in a second, or from quietly listening to suddenly shouting.

History: Wilhelm wandered the streets as a child, doing what he had to to survive. His father was a blacksmith, and he never knew his mother, who left shortly after Wilhelm's birth. As a teenager, he was good at fights, earning the attention of a local combat instructor, Charles Norris. Wilhelm trained with Charles, but his brother, Xavier Norris, taught a more interesting magic class. Wilhelm discovered he had a strong talent, though with limited applications. Despite being a magical "one trick pony", he worked hard to improve, learning both magic and fighting.

Class: Duskblade

Spoiler:

The Duskblade blurs the line between mage and warrior, combining the power of magic with melee combat prowess. Their fighting style tends to be quick and agile, focusing more on speed and evasion than strength or defense. Their magic tends to be limited to one or two elements or schools, and favors the direct approach, with no subtle tricks or clever illusions. They prefer light armor and simple weapons, with sword and shield being the popular choice.

Skills: Wilhelm uses magic to create and manipulate kinetic energy, with a curious light-and-dark theme reminiscent of nighttime.

Star Strike

Spoiler:

A black star, surrounded by a blue aura, flies unerringly toward its target, bursting into blue sparks upon impact.

This spell creates a five-pointed star, the size of a fist, and launches it with incredible speed and accuracy. The attack cannot be dodged, though it can be blocked, and it causes little damage. The spell requires a few seconds to recharge.

Star Shield

Spoiler:

A shimmering shield of translucent blue energy forms in front of Wilhelm's raised hand.

This spell creates a small wall of kinetic energy, stopping incoming attacks like a shield. Maintaining the shield is tiring, with larger shields draining more energy than smaller ones. The shield can be shattered if hit hard enough or with enough attacks, and requires a moment to recharge before a new shield can be created.

Telekinesis

Spoiler:

Wilhelm's hand is surrounded by a blue aura. An identical aura surrounds an object, allowing Wilhelm to lift and move it from afar.

This spell allows Wilhelm to move objects from a distance. Light objects are easy to move and even throw, but heavier objects require more mental effort, which tires Wilhelm the longer he maintains his hold.

Shadow Step

Spoiler:

Wilhelm dissolves into a wisp of purple smoke, whisking off and reappearing a short distance away.

This spell allows Wilhelm (and any objects or clothing he is carrying or wearing) to instantly teleport a short distance in any direction. The distance must be less than 40 feet, and requires line of sight. Living creatures can't be teleported.

Password:
Is the SU done: Yes.
Other: Wilhelm works part time at a library when not on adventures. His magic makes reshelving books easy!

Grey Bidoof is reserved, Godzil is accepted.

Also, seriously Godzil? Charles and Xavier NORRIS? Did you think nobody would catch that?

 

[Groc]

Godzil is accepted.

Yay! Looking forward to this!

Also, seriously Godzil? Charles and Xavier NORRIS? Did you think nobody would catch that?

I thought everyone would notice. I just really like puns, and it was like 1 a.m. I'm not apologizing; I was just having some fun.

 

[Nidoking76]

Lol. I'm not sure what to do about that. Just leave it, I guess.
