First, an introduction.

Hello, I am Reyu.

Done.

Yes, I have noticed that there already is a Dragon Rider Storybook. I seek naught to steal writers or to suggest anything in a negative way, I only wish to see if I can, actually, pull of a decent Storybook. I've always wanted to try and this will be the first time I have taken it upon myself to create one. I am very lax when it comes to rules but every Storybook has to have them. Knowledge of the books is a must or you will be lost, so please don't join if you have no idea who Christopher Paolini is. It is he whom creates the rules of Alagaesia. (http://www.alagaesia.com/)

RULES:

1.) This is the most important rule. No god mode. Pretty much the first rule of every Storybook.

2.) Respect your fellow writer.

3.) Zero tolerance for idiocy. As long as you present yourself in a well established manner, then clearly, you are not an idiot and this rule does not apply.

4.) You may kill other characters as long as it is done in an admirable fashion.
Sub rules: 1.) Remember it is harder to kill someone than you may think
2.) All spells must use the ancient language, no exceptions.
3.) If you screw up with the ancient language, the spells will not work exactly as planned.
(pray you edit before I see it for I will inspect every character vs character battle)
4.) Dragon Riders fight with honor, unless you are corrupted by evil. So announce your duel and let the role playing take you where it may.
5.) lastly, please remember that unless clearly stated previously, you have no wards.

5.) All ages are welcome to participate.

6.) You may do anything in this world. You may adventure by yourself and see many things, you may seek out and kill Ra'zak or Shades and claim much glory. You may team up with other characters and accomplish goals or seek out some long forgotten treasure. You may even start wars or end them. Strategy is key. Play off each other for maximum role playing.

7.) Perfect grammar or spelling is not required but please, please, [i]please[/i] have an understanding of it.

8.) There is no page limit, but I would ask of you to keep it under a couple pages. Unless you just gotta write, if so, I forgive you.

One other note I would like to mention before I proceed is that distance does exist and it takes longer than a day to travel from Carvahal to Uru'baen. Also, unless you know the location of someone... You don't know where they are. If you are hunting someone, you must follow all the rules a hunter would have to follow.



CHARACTERS:

Human

Dwarf

Elf

Dragon

Ra'zak

Shade

Lethrblaka

Urgals

All characters, with the exception of Ra'zak and Dragons and Lethrblaka, have the potential to become spell casters. Ra'zak have a paralyzing breath and inhuman speed and strength. Dragons cast spells from emotion. Powerful emotion.

To become a Shade you must be Human, Dwarf or Elf and be lucky enough to summon and then capture spirits and enslave them. Once you become a Shade, whatever name you had before is changed to something more... Shade like. If you wish to become a Shade, PM me, and I will roll a D20. If I roll under ten you die, ten or above you become a Shade, natural twenty and I will award something special. Storytelling and description may help sway the roll of the dice.

If you wish to be a Dragon you start out as an egg, no if's and's or but's. As an egg you stay until someone touches your egg. Once they touch it you may choose that person to be your Rider... Notice the "may". Dwarfs cannot become Dragon Riders.

Standard rules for character sheets apply, so just follow my example:

PM me for any questions you may have. Any specifics that need to be illuminated.

My first submission follows. (If I have forgotten any major rules let me know and I will review them)

Name: Unhatched
Race: Dragon
Age: Fifty
Egg color: Dark green
Eye color: Light green
Gender: Male
Personality: Dragons shine with confidence and whatever personality they so happen to have, it is theirs. So make it up as you go.

The egg-shell-prison was warm, soothing, mystical. From the safety of the egg the Dragons consciousness spread out through a wide area. He could sense the living beings from all directions. Teeming, luminescent, beings of many thoughts and concerns. Somehow none of them noticed the touch of his mind, that or they allowed it freely, wishing against wish that he would choose one of them as his Rider. He felt one such mind reach out and touch his egg, slowly caressing it. 'You are not one-of-body-and-mind' the thought seemed to float in the void, which echoed back, 'soon'.

Nerinia De la Casta, Approved.

Faeylo - As long as you remember that sorcery is a path considered twisted, or foul. I'm going on what The Mourning Sage defined it as. Although I believe it possible to work it for good and not evil. You also must pick a race, since witch is more like a class. Otherwise approved.

I disagree. Witches are not generally evil. But oh well.
And I fixed my profile.

Name: Tristan Vorpo
Age: 24
Gender:Male
Race: Human/Shade
Phisical: very short red hair and blood red eyes. slightly pale skin. He is tall and lithe, but in a muscular way.
Personality:In constant turmoil as is any shade.
History: Was forced into being a shade and didnt have a choise about it. Because of that he rebels against what he is and can control the spirits enough so that he does not kill anything and everything he sees. He doesnt remember much of his past life. (hope all of this is ok).
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Sorry but you don't get to start as a Shade. If you wish to become a Shade, then your first entry in this Storybook must be the "how he became a Shade" whether he was forced into it or not. Once you leave that on a cliff hanger, or conclude your submission however you plan on writing it, then I will roll a D20, under ten you die, ten or above you survive and are fully a Shade. Natural twenty gets you something special.

As of right now you are just a Human. Approved.

I hope it's okay if I start out as a dragon. I would make a pre-set rider to find her, but it would be so much more fun having someone else be my rider!

There is no such thing as "to many Dragons" :)

Approved.
