Eh. I guess I could sign up as Islyths...
But Islyths isn't a good character.
Come to think of it, I don't really HAVE a good character.

He became as such over a period of time, and lots and lots of interaction with others. You simply have to let them become good characters.

I'd certainly be in too if you guys want me! I feel I know enough about Dragon lore and stuff to take part. But would we all have to actually be Dragons? If so I think that's a little too much for me. Oh no no no. The Dragons are quite rare indeed. For the longest time, I was the only dragon present in the group. The others were all humans: Dragon slayers, originally. Flame Dancer's love was human - which brought him endless torment, by the way - his best friend was human - Horus, who was killed at the end of the first chapter, turning Flame Dancer quite cold - many of those he worked with were human, those that he killed were human... Dragons are actually a rather rare sight in the RP. As they are meant to be. The only time you meet dragons, are the times when you have one massive foe to fight, or during times of great trouble, when they have to aid human beings under attack by the sect of 'Evil' dragons that were present in the original RP. So no. You won't have to be all dragons. You may only see one or two during the entire roleplay. But those that ARE dragons... Well, they leave quite a mark behind them. Heh, yeah I was thinking it would be odd if we all played Dragons, considering how rare they are. Isn't Tosh-Raka the only known Dragon left? And even he is an Akaviri race (Ka Po' Tun I think?). As you said Dragons only come out to be seen in very certain circumstances as well, I imagine the Empire has a few stashed somewhere. But they're highly intelligent, and I doubt they would want to be a vehicle for people But as I've already said, this looks pretty cool, now I'll just have to think of a suitable character. ;D

Very few characters can be called 'good quality' at the time of creation. Their use in the RP is what really makes them good. Character development can go just about anywhere. Don't worry about 'bad characters' much.
Ooh...my first instinct is to use Babur, but the name Marinus pops up quite vividly. Or perhaps someone new...

FC's Dragon RP uses very little actual Dragon lore- he creates mostly his own, which, knowing him, he'll probably explain in-depth in the OP.
Isn't that right, FC?
And Tom- I don't think your RPs are doomed to failure. I didn't join your wizard one, because pure mages except for Zanna usually bore me. :/ But I thought Pax showed promise, and from what you hinted, I could only imagine a good deal of thought had gone into it. And I fought for it, thank you!
And, although you probably don't know it, I've made several RPs that never took off. Like, at all. Nil points. You have to wade through rejection and dejection to get to the real gems. Of course, I am such a terrible RP host that what people consider the real gems, I can only consider headaches that I eventually gave up on. From now on, I will offer ideas ONLY. Making RPs and being in charge of things is not my forte.
Although that doesn't mean I'll give up being admin. Especially since I feel less like an authority figure, and more like rabbit among wolves. Crazed, spam-happy wolves.
I considered going on a rant about how cute the bunny was, then I realised that nobody needs to know about my love of rabbits.
Your loss.

Illusionary Nothing, I refuse to stand idly by while you doubt your RP hosting abilities! In fact, I think everybody here would agree you're among the elite when it comes to that particular area. Of course, if hosting them becomes un-enjoyable for you, I can understand why you wouldn't want to continue. Nevertheless, I just thought I should let you know that I think you're an excellent host, and that your self criticism is, frankly, unwarranted.

...I forgot what I was going to say.
Anyways, just don't start it up until next month if possible.
Also, why did everyone stop posting in Altered Destinies? Get back to work you lazy... hmm. What's a friendly word for 'bastards', that doesn't sound to weak to use. I'm really trying to improve me language here.

Well, I'm waiting for everyone to react to the giant crab, and possibly do something. Otherwise, all I can really say is 'Artmer clings onto his dagger's hilt for dear life, muttering prayers under his breath'. As for the word you're searching for... I have no idea. I usually am quite blunt, even with friends, so I don't ever see the need to soften my words. xD

Ditto for me. Although I won't be able to post AT ALL tomorrow, so I'm also hoping you'll come and kill it today so Dark can be kidnapped or something. Unless somewhat wants to RP her?
EDIT: Dark, Chaos, you're both sillyheads. >_<

EDIT: Dark, Chaos, you're both sillyheads. >_< That's what they tell me. Along with "you need medical help" and "nerve gas is not a toy." On that note, I'll see what I can do about whipping up a big ass pot of Mudcrab gumbo today.

FC's Dragon RP uses very little actual Dragon lore- he creates mostly his own, which, knowing him, he'll probably explain in-depth in the OP. Isn't that right, FC? My Dragon lore has the skeletal background of whatever thin Dragon Lore I found, then elaborated upon. Yes, the lore will be explained as much as you will need to make a Dragon Character, when I create the OP. But just to be clear: -No, you need not be epic to participate. You just need a proper grasp of coherent English and the ability to post semi-decently. But I also accept newbs, as they can ALWAYS surprise you with their potential. -You need not be a Dragon; I will in fact be setting a mental limit on how many dragon profiles I will accept. And the Dragons will not be tremendously uber either. There will be unique disadvantages to having a Dragon Character, as well as unique abilities, that will require you to think before you post. For instance, each Dragon must have one weakness or more. This weakness is important, as it will cripple the dragon's abilities, making them as defeatable as, say, a minotaur to the skilled adventurer. -Some aspects of the Rp, such as Blood Brotherhood, will not be introduced or explained until later in the rp, and there are reasons for this. -The Daea will be featured, and Dragons will be allowed to use it. But use will come at a price. This price is the Bloodlust. -The Bloodlust will be reworked, but in principle remain the same. -This will be a story/adventure rp, not Freeform. The Dragon's Taint was meant to be freeform, and the idea failed to pan out. -I am wondering if this rp should go on the BGSF, or here. Any opinions?

About going to BGSF, I think it could do well, and I imagine will be a lot faster and may last longer, but I feel that over here you'll get more reliable RPers, and not in terms of skill, but in dependability.

Actually, with what I saw just recently flooding the RPs, you'll probably find better quality over here. :/
But then, I haven't been looking round too much lately.
