Rebuilding the Dragons

The world has died, leaving only the dragons to inhabit the earth. All of the elves, dwarves, fairies, trolls, ogres, werecats, unicorns, giants, and other various magical creatures died of a plague, one that dragons are immune to. All the magical creatures died. Some regular animal have survived, such as deer, bears, rabbits, frogs, etc.

The dragons have recreated the earth to a certain degree. Powerful cities have risen out of the dust and new scientific discoveries have been made. Knowledge of magic has increased and the population has skyrocketed. It seemed that dragons would never go extinct.

An experimental vaccine for the common dragon cold was being tested. An accident occurred in the formula and the vaccine became a deadly virus, sweeping around the world and killing dragons without a thought of remorse. Only a few survived: the strongest of the strong. If the world is not to become a place devoid of life, these handfuls of dragons must band together and attempt to save their race from extinction.

Dragons:
There are different types of dragons, and you will choose which one you will be later.


The Squink:

Spoiler

Squinks are very small, the tiniest type of dragons. When elves still lived, they called Squinks, "about knee-high". Both genders are thin, wiry creatures with sharp facial features. Squink males are usually earthy shades: muddy brown tinted with dark green. Females can be dark blue or violet. This is what their bodies look like, but I could only find the female colors. Squinks have a nasty bite, injecting poison strong enough to kill anything in a matter of seconds, but are immune to their own poison. Do not anger a Squink! Squinks can live for 100 years, but are considered children for the first 25 years of their lives, reaching their full size and right to mate at this age. Squinks do not mate for life, but can mate every year.

The Lyth:

Spoiler

Lyths are much larger than the Squinks, about two elves high.These dragons have thick muscles, perfect for lifting or crushing things. The males are a golden color with large spikes and crests on their faces and backs. Females are silver and have slightly smaller spikes. These dragons can breathe fire. These dragons can live for up to 300 years, and mature and are full grown when they are 8 years old. These dragons mate for life, and can lay an egg once every three years.

The Grog

Spoiler

Grogs are the largest and strongest dragons alive. They are three times the size of Lyths. They are dangerous, with crushing jaws that spew fire (or other things, depending on their color.) A crest of spikes curves around their head. Their talons are huge, and razor sharp. These dragons live for a maximum of 600 years and mature when they are 75 years old. Even though they are considered mature and can mate at 75 years old, they do not reach their full size until they are 200 years old.These dragons rarely mate for life, but occasionally do and can lay eggs once every five years.

Red Grog Dragon: Fire
Blue Grog Dragon: Boiling water
Green Grog Dragon: Acid
Yellow Grog Dragon: Lightning
White Grog Dragon: Ice
(Red Grog)

The Arc:

Spoiler

The oldest and wisest dragon, living for thousands of years. They are the rarest dragon in existence. Their bodies are clear like crystals, but when the sun shines their wings, a rainbow of colors appear.These dragons are cunning. They are larger than the Lyth but smaller than the Grog. These dragons can only mate and lay an egg once in their lives, after they turn 500. They must mate before they turn 1000 or they will die.

Dragon Habits:

Spoiler

Mating: The male dragons will show off at the twilight of the full moon, doing crazy flying patterns to impress the females. If the female is interested, she will roar, calling to the male. He will come at her call and she challenges him to a fight. They fight with all of their weapons, tail, tooth, and claw. If the female believes he is strong and smart enough to take care of her, she will fly into the air and have him chase her. Within a month she will lay an egg (dragon eggs are the colors of what the young will be).

Dragon Nests: Nests are created when dragons are expecting eggs, way up in caves like these: Nests are built much like birds nests, the female helps the male collect tree branches to artfully weave into a basket big enough for the mother to lay on, protecting for egg.

Caring for an Egg: The female will find a cozy cave high up on a cliff top where she will lay her egg. They lay a single egg. They will stay there, keeping the egg warm. The male will bring the female food. The egg will hatch in about two weeks. When it is time for the egg to hatch and the first crack appears, the mother will roll it out of the cave she is in and off the cliff or mountainside. The egg will hatch mid-air and the young will take flight. The young dragon flies back to its mother.

Health and Diet: Dragons need to rub their scales against trees or large rocks to shed the old ones, allowing new ones to grow in place. Dragons love swimming in deep water and can hold their breath long enough to catch fish deep underwater. They only need to drink some water once every few days. They eat meat, such as deer. They are perfect hunters, the larger dragons. Squinks prefer to prey on rabbits and mice, but can take down deer and bears with their poison.

Story:

Spoiler

The dragons used to live in an area with many other dragons, but they all died, except you. They start to wander and eventually meet up with the other dragons. Some of them mate and lay eggs. Maybe some of the young die. Maybe some of them never hatch. Imagine the struggles of a race of dragons attempting to rebuild them selves without becoming extinct. Maybe some build grudges and start fighting and nearly kill each other before someone else steps in....

Rules:

Spoiler

1. I reserve the right to ask you to change things about your post or character that do not fit with the SB.
2. Respect myself and other members at all times.
3. No god-modding or mary/gary sues

6. All dragon's orientations are straight
7. Keep all other comments in the DT!
8. Have fun!

Could I please reserve a spot for a female Squick dragon and a Arc male dragon?
This SB looks awesome. :3

I'm going to say no this time to Hybrid breeding.... It would get too confusing. But its a great idea! I'm excited to see what else you can come up with!

Name: Aderi
Type Of Dragon/Color: Arc Dragon
Age: 350
Gender:Female
History:Aderi was in the fields when first signs of the plague were found. With her kind heart, Aderi tried to save some of the creatures but failed. She soon thought that she too, was going to die. Having found that she was immune to the plague, she left the fields and flew away. Not knowing which way she was headed. She soon finds a small land that was unoccupied and decided to settle there.
Personality: She is very nice and gentle. She is wise and would not attack a being if there is another way. Aderi (pronounced as A-dare-ee) is a skilled fighter but does not fight often. She is very smart and wise, wiser than most of her kind and she is a very fast flyer.
Appearance(optional, since already described): Aderi has a scar along her neck.
Other: She's very friendly. I would also like to collaborate with someone if possible.

Name:Gurrhy
Type Of Dragon/Color:Lyth
Age:14
Gender:male
History:He lived by the sea by himself most of the time but from time to time he would go and see a small community. He has been trying to get a mate for some time but he has not been able to because his kind like dryer higher up places. But the ones that are around have been together as a pair for some time and there young have gone in land. so he started to find a mate when the plague started to kill so he kept on traveling hoping that there where others out there that would survive.
Personality:He is helpful and is very smart for his age but can be distracted very easily.
Appearance:he is a very rare shad of gold for his breed the rason being he lives by the water so it has been shinyer gold colour then other Lyth.

Reserving male arc and lightning grog please

Aquestioning, another member already asked for a male Arc dragon. I will keep it in mind that you want a male arc dragon; I may consider adding more slots, depending on how many people join.

I will change him to another breed of dragon if Aquestioning really wants that slot- I don't mind being flexible. :3

Can I reserve a Green Grog Dragon please? Female ^^,

Please reserve a grog (fire) female for me please

Nah Shady, go ahead and take that Arc dragon

Okay, so onto the profile!

(I'm gonna make mine extremely old XD)

Name: Oriad M'lenor

Type Of Dragon/Color: Grog/Yellow

Age: 592

Gender: Female

History: Older than the oldest Grog in recorded history, Oriad is old, to say the least. She is fit for her age and can fly around for a couple of hours without getting out of breath, which is extremely short for Grog dragons, but hey, it gets her places.

During the time of the virus sweeping the land, she was with a flock of Arc dragons, in this case, like two or three. The Arc Dragons all died, but somehow, them covering her allowed her to live.

She now lives by herself, trying to find any dragon, but for a long time, she hasn't found any except the seldom carcass.

Personality: She's decent, and very nice to any and all, however, a long time with no others to talk to, she has become very blunt and somewhat insane.

Appearance(optional, since already described): Hmm...

Other: Birds fly by her a lot, and she can still use her powers with ease. If she's near, then you would see a lot of birds, even kinds that aren't native.

Name: Oyhmia (oh-mee-a)

Type Of Dragon/Color: Lyth

Age: 9

Gender: Female

History: She had lived in a forest with a few other dragons, her friends. Her absolute best friend was a Squink Dragon, Morenta. Morenta was just like Oyhmia, quiet and caring. One day, the virus caught up with their group. Most of their group had died, leaving only Oyhmia and Morenta alive. They fled far away, but Morenta eventually got infected and died a few short days later. Oyhmia became depressed and lives in a small cave on a lake’s edge, doing the bare necessities to keep herself alive.

Personality: She was a quiet and sweet person before her best friend died, but now she is even more reserved and silent. She’s quite hard to talk too, but she has a few funny quirks. If you are nice to her, she kneads the earth between her claws. If she is upset, her tail droops and slides back and forth. Deep down inside, she just wants a friend or companion to remind her of Morenta.

Appearance(optional, since already described): She has shocking blue eyes that always look sad.

Other: She has a thing for flowers, especially small purple ones.

Name: Tasbenther "Tasby"
Type Of Dragon/Color: Squink. Dark green.
Age: 25
Gender: Male

History: Tasby lived with his Mom and Dad right in the heart of a big community of Squinks. When the disease started taking victims, most of the dragons around Tas' family got sick, and as a result of being in such close proximity to so many dragons, Tas' father soon fell ill. Once his dad got sick, Tas moved his family out of the city and into the woodlands, away from others. Unfortunately, his mother also contracted the disease. Tas, however, did not. For a while, his mother joked that he didn't fall ill because the disease couldn't catch him, but then she got too sick to talk and couldn't make much of a joke out of anything. First his mother died, then three days later so did his father.

Personality + Other in one convenient post: Tasby is a really energetic dragon. He flies quickly everywhere, talks quickly, and thinks even quicker. His mind processes information much too rapidly for most of it to be coherent or comprehensible. Sometimes his brain is so jumbled that he can't fathom sentences out of the hysteria and just remains silent. A silent Tasby is a bad thing, it means he's about to burn out soon.
You see, Tasby exists in a constant state of energy-overflow, and this continuous cycle of energy can do a lot of harm to such a small dragon body. Tasby's burn outs are usually preceded with a jump of energy - thinking to fast that he can't even speak, flying too fast that he can't see and his wings get tangled... - and then he crashes. Hard. This crash not only affects how fast he moves, but also how fast he functions. His mind's too slow to process simple information, he can't fly or walk, and mostly he just cries and sleeps.
It is not that Tas is always happy and his joy is the reason for his inability to sit still, but he is not able to calm down even when he's sad. When his parents were dying he still flitted around the clearing like a mad animal. Granted, he is still pretty happy most of the time. He's a really cheery person, doesn't like being sad or unhappy. He likes games, you know, playing around and stuff. He enjoys being active when it's appropriate to be so, but at night when everyone's asleep and he's still awake, jittering around, he gets really sad and depressed. Nighttimes aren't fun for him. A lot of tears are shed when the sun goes down.
Basically, the poor baby has really bad ADHD and also a body that tries to keep up with his reeling mind - he has an unusually fast metabolism, a hummingbird heart, yada yada. There are a lot of downside but, here's the good part, he can fly faster than any dragon he knows.

Appearance: He's a dark, swampy green color, but his eyes are bright gold. The little spikes at the top of his head kinda look like a mohawk and he has a really dopey smile.

Spoiler

Why couldn't this have been short and simple like everyone else's profiles? D:

As soon as we get the reserved profiles from ReisePiecey, Shadowlight, onedarkhorizon, and Calla, I think we can start!

Spoiler

I'm no longer playing the Arc male as well- just Posy.

Name: Posy
Type Of Dragon/Color: Squink
Age: 23
Gender: Female
History: Posy was born on the banks of a small woodland river, her parents had their nest in an old foxes den and Posy grew up scampering among the reeds and leaves and swimming in the stream with her Broodmates.
In their secluded part of the forest her family was mostly spared the first onslaught of the plagues, but when a large Grog dragon suddenly crashed into their stream dead- the vicious plague decimated the booming Squink population in that area and poisoned the water. Posy was the first of her family to fall ill and as all Squinks when they become sick she flew away to a deserted owl hole in a large tree and fell into a coma. When she awoke- skinny and half starved she emerged to a different world, her family was gone- only bones remained and throughout the woods in ever Squink burrow there was death and more bones.

Afraid and alone Posy began to fly- trying to find other dragons, no matter the breed- just so she isn't alone anymore.

Personality: Just like her name she is a sunny, cheerful little Dragoness who is gentle and sweet like a pocket full of posies. She's innocent to a fault and doesnt realize yet the world is full of danger- she thinks everyone is a friend to be made.

A maternal little thing due to her natural personality and her budding hormones she will mother anything that seems to need it- including setting on it to keep it warm. She wants to find companionship as she is horribly lonely, and is scared she's never going to find someone.

Appearance(optional, since already described): Petite even for her tiny kind Posy is a lovely shade of Azure blue with large bright black eyes that twinkle with merriment and good temper. She has a mouth full of sharp little teeth and has two little three pronged horns on her head.

Other: though she is young she is mature physically for her age an now that the seasons have changed her instincts are making her long for a mate and nest of hatch-lings of her own- driving her to fly further and not give up.
