    Welcome to another Roleplay, developed between myself and Flygon_trainer.

    In the world of Korrain, technology is equal to that of today?s earth, and the planet is every bit as varied as our home. Korrain has very few cities, as we would call them, but most civilization short of ports are rural communities spread out along the wilderness. The two things that make Korrain unique are its amazingly destructive storms, and its dragons. Dragons have been widely used for many purposes, because of their ability to withstand all of Korrain?s harsh storms with ease. After technology had developed to the point of jet planes, and war machines, dragons were still used widely, because not even a tank can get through a sandstorm of one of Korrain?s deserts undaunted. Nowadays, dragons are used primarily for two purposes. The dragonriders, the scouts of almost all nations of Korrain, they fly the light and agile yellows and blues, with the occasional green in their ranks as swift scouts for reconnasince missions, and law enforcement in general. The other purpose, is illegal dragon fights, primarily concerning red and brown dragons, though a green fighter is not unheard of.

    We will all be playing humans, with one exception for plot purposes. You can be the owner of either an illegal fighting dragon, (And change your ways at a point in the RP) or a dragonrider. The breeds of dragons are described below.


    Dragonriders

    Yellows: Light and agile, the yellows are the smallest, but fastest of the dragons, making excellent scouts. The trouble is, their energy is limited, and they cannot fly for long distances, and their strength in battle is pitiful.

    Blues: Almost the yellow?s twin, though not taken to such extremes. Blues have more strength and endurance than the yellows, but lose some of the speed and agility in return. Blues and yellows are almost always scouts, though a scout dragon in the rings is not unheard of. Using special organs, they can induce electric current through the air, similar to how reds can breathe fire.

    Neutral
    Greens: The most balanced dragons, greens are a perfect balance between a scout and a fighter, with average fighting ability, while maintaining an alright speed and agility. They?re not as common as other breeds in scouting or fighting, but are equally suited for both. Greens, like blues can induce electric current through the air, similar to how reds can breathe fire.

    Dragon Fighters

    Browns: The typical fighter dragon, large and bulky. It is a good flyer with high endurance, but is very slow, and not too bright. They are rarely used for anything but fighting.

    Reds: The prize pig of dragons, reds are not only light and agile, but are excellent fighters as well, due to their ability to breathe fire naturally. Reds are almost always fighters, because fighters are willing to pay extraordinary sums of money to buy red eggs from any clutch.


    Other
    Black: The albino of dragons, nothing is known about them, as they are extremely rare, other than that they are known to have a glossy, jet-black appearance.

    A few other facts about dragons: They have the average lifespan of about 90 years, they have intelligence on-par with humans, though besides communicating feelings to their riders, there has been no successful communication with a dragon, to date, and like some amphibians, should dragons find themselves in an environment where one sex greatly outnumbers the other, their genes will alter, causing them to change gender. There is a process which can endow any dragon with fire breath, though it is illegal, because of the sheer amount of pain it causes the animals, usually reducing them to ferality. Dragon fights are legal in some undeveloped contries, but not in the one where our characters will be starting out.

    Rules:
    1: You can only be a human, though your character may have any type of dragon (including hybrids) Except for black, and that is for plot reasons.
    2: I reserve the right to boot anyone who is not up to par with the other RPers out, if you don?t want to be booted, use detail and common sense.

    Name~ Gwin
    Age~ 12
    Gender~ Female

    Dragon

    A very small male Yellow dragon in which Gwin proudly named Dazzle. He has a outgoing personality, just like his owner.

    Description

    Gwin has long brown hair that flows to her waist, and crystal blue eyes. She has a slender build, and is usually found wearing a navy blue t-shirt that is slightly big for her, and the casual blue jeans. She also wears a black baseball cap on her head. Around her neck, Gwin always wears a necklace with a small dragon tooth hanging from it. It was a gift from her father when she was just a little girl. Occasionally, Gwin wears her hair tied back with a ribbon, but when its not its down.

    Personality

    As said above, Gwin is a very outgoing person. She is always hyper and never afraid to say what she wants to. Being a tomboy, and growing up with her 4 older brothers, you would of expected her to be a little bit tougher; but Gwin is always kind to others, and cant tolerate it when someone is being picked on. She hates getting into fights, and she tries her hardest to avoid them.
    Also said about, Dazzle is the perfect dragon for her.

    Occupation~ DragonRider

    OOC: Because I have no patience, I'm going to go ahead and get things started. anyone can still sign up at any time, though.

    IC: It was one of the illigal dragon fights, so popular these days on Korrain, and this paticular arena was actually a semi-underground stadium once used for football. the lights were dimmed, the field had bene covered with sand, and an announcer's voice rang out "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are in for a one of a kind treat! We have David Eddy's Red, versus Roan's Black! Yes, you heard me right, Black!" The announcer's voice over the speakers were drowned out by enthusiastic cheers as form one side, a gate about the size to admit most large trucks with plenty of room to spare opened, and from it emerged an almost orange colored dragon, looking feisty, and roaring with pride. From the other side, a similar gate opoened, and with some difficulty, a glossy black dragon, much larger than the red squeezed out, not making any noise as it stared down the red with an almost haunted look in it's eyes. The red dragon instantly leapt forward, only to be caught in a curtain of flame from the black dragon, at which it screeched and skidded away. "Amazing, it looks like the black is a firebreather!" the announcer stated the obivious, as the red leapt forward again, this time dodging under the insuing curtain, and biting through the tough scales on the black's neck. The black roared with pain, bringing up it's claws and ripping the red off, and tossing it into the wall, knocking it out. but it didn't matter much, as the black collapsed shortly after, bleeding profusely on the sand, and trying to stand up, with no success...

    'Great.. yet another day out on patrol... can this day get any more dull?" I muttered from atop my dragon. her name was Lightning, and she too was as bored as i was. Suddenly, the radio I wore crackeled, and I brought it to my ear, hearing the commander's voice. "Rachel, we have reports of a massive dragon fight in secotor C9. one knocked out, but otherwise uninjured, and the other badly damaged."

    "Got it, I'll check it out." I said, and Lightning tilted her wings slightly and took off toward the mentioned sector. One badly damaged? great, Lightning threw a fit last time I had to tend to a dragon... I thought
     
    I watched from the stadium. "A black dragon," I thought to myself. In all my years as a breeder i had never even seem a black dragon, yet alone bred them. It would be an honor to breed them, but i knew it would problably never happen. As the fight ended i prayed that both dragons were alright, I went to these fghts only because some of the dragons that faught i had bred myself, but i loved dragons and hated to see them in pain.
     
    Name: Saphira Moonstream
    Age: 18
    Gender: Female

    Dragon: Turquiose (Blue and Green) Saphira's dragon is Koruni, and is very protective of her. Like Saphira, he doesnt trust others and is merciless when fighting. He sometimes gets an attitude.

    Looks: Blue eyes, tannish skin, dirty blonde hair with light blonde highlights, light blue tank with baggy blue jeans, and a silver chain that she always wears around her neck.

    Personality: Saphira trust no one, and her heart seems to have hardened. She is a tomboy, and merciless. Saphira seems to have gain a bad reputation, and is being tracked down by someone who you will meet later on.

    Occupation: Fighter
     
    A few handlers came out and hauled off the red, and did little more than stop the bleeding on my neck with something that looked like a small cattle prod. It stung, but the bleeding stopped. that's when they started using the real prods to attempt to get me back into my stall. I barked (There was no other word for it, though it's nothing like a dog's bark0 indignantly, and tried to snap on of the prods with my teeth, but i was too slow, as the people who used the extra long cattlepords were much faster that I could be in my injured state. I began what was almost a mix between a growl and a plea for help, sweeping my tail around in an effort to get them to stop.
     
    Finally, I reached the sector, and was appauled, and absoloutly furious. Lightning landed as fast as she could, and I lept off her back, and yelled "this is an outrage! illegal dragon fighting alone, but ABUSE!?!? You're all under arrest!" and Lightning crouched down, her mouth glowing with the electric power she would have to unbleash. I was nearly in tears, no dragon should ever have to go through something like this, no matter what...
     
    Gwin watched restlessly from the stadium, watching the two dragons fight. Beside her sat her brothers and her father, who seemed to be enjoying the fight. They all loved fights, but Gwin was different. She hated them, and tried her best to avoid them. The 12 year old closed her eyes as the dragon hit the ground.
    Poor thing... Gwin thought, thinking about Dazzle. She couldn't wait to see him.

    "Hey sis! Are you still awake!?" her brother Brad asked in a mocking tone. "You arent scared are you?"
    "Not a chance!" Gwin replied trying to sound angry. "I was just resting my eyes...thats all..."
    "Whatever..." Brad said, turning back to watch the red get hauled away.

    Gwins attention was drawn when the DragonRider appeared in the ring. She listend carefully to what she has said, and she nodded in agreement to what she was saying.
     
    Name: Argon Gile
    Age:17
    Gender:male
    Dragon: Red
    Looks: Shoulder length white hair that hangs in front of his ice blue eyes. his skin is pale and contrasts greatly with his large black t-shirt and his black jeans and boots. He wearsblack fingerless gloves and a red kerchief around his right forearm.
    Personality: Very quiet and secluded. he is very critical of other dragon riders and doesn't befriend man or dragon easily. A very efficient man, he prefers to work alone but will work in a group if necessary.
    Occupation: Rider (if that's permitted with a red dragon, I don't know. :\)
     
    ooc: thankies.^^

    ic: "Koruni, are ou ready?" Saphira asked her dragon, who was getting impaitent. Koruni was ready, and they had lost they're last battle. This made Koruni furious, and he was going to prove to everyone that he could win.

    "Relax," Saphira said, stroking his scales, "You'll win." There was only a few more minutes till they were up.
     
    I saw the dragon land, and knew what must be happening. the people started pouring out of the stadium, hopign not to be caught and incriminated by their presence here, and the people with catle prods began to run. Fury built up in me when I saw that they were fleeing in fear, and I managed to leap around, belching flame outward before they could reach the gates. It just about knocked me out with the pain from spinning, and the people didn't have a chance. I slowly turned back towards the other human and the blueish dragon, ready to fight, because it was the only thing I knew how to do, or had ever done...
     
    As a Dragonrider landed in the ring and Started arresting people, I decided that leaving would probly be a good idea. "Kaa" I screamed at the sky, and my Purple dragon dove down in, landing on the outside of the stadium, his lavender scales gleamed in the sunlight, he was handsome, strong, and aweseome. I hopped on his back and we rose into the clouds. I felt the familiar sensation of the wind rushing by my face and my body becoming cool and calm.
     
    ooc: who me? or someone else with a bluish dragon? i guess me...

    ic: "Get 'em, Ko." Saphira commanded. In a flash, the dragon was in the air. He roared, making most people in the audience cover their ears. Koruni's eyes seemed to burn with a fire, because there was no way her was going to disappoint Saphira again.
     
    OOC: DE, he was referring to me

    IC:"A black fire breather?" I wondered aloud, knowing all too well what this ment. tourture, abuse, and downright cruelty. I was nearly in tears. Finally, i said "Please, you mustn't do this! I'm trying to save you! if you roast me you'll just go back to that hell-hole!" now, tears were running down my face. I would rather die then see this beautiful dragon being tourtured...
