The Fall Maiden
A Draconic Dawn
Dragon-riders | Training Camp | War | Weak beginning | Character Development | High medieval fantasy
Plot:
You don't remember why exactly the war had started. Perhaps it was the assassination attempt on the foreign prince, or maybe the sudden plague that weakened both kingdoms. You knew from history books, schooling and tales told from your elders that both nations were once powerful and prominent on the continent, and that they seeked each others demise and power.
But regardless, this shouldn't affect you that much right? As a normal citizen at least. Apart from potential war taxes and rations, you should be living a relatively peaceful life away from the battlefields. But, you have a bonded pet dragon, perhaps found as a wild egg, or bought for a ludicrously expensive price on the market. When a pet/familiar bonds with an owner, they can speak telepathically to them, and only them. The pair tend to begin feeling a spiritual connection linking them together as well.
Unfortunately for you, the king has issued a command throughout his nation, perhaps being on the losing side of the war.
'All able-bodied citizens owning a bonded dragon are to begin training as new dragon knights immediately. Individuals affected must report to their local training camp in three days for further details.'
Regardless of reason, you will be headed to the capitals camp, the harshest training grounds of all.
Requirements/Rules:

Requirements/Rules:
- 100+ words per post minimum
- Post once every three days minimum
- Decent grammar, punctuation, spelling and knowledge of the english language
- No godmodding, mary sues, etc.
- My word is law. If I don't like something, you change it. If I tell you to leave, you leave.
- High medieval fantasy - no guns or automations, magic is allowed and relatively common, horse carriages as main means of transport, most fantasy races allowed etc.
- Your character will start off pretty average. The most prior combat experience allowed will be in the form of hunters/guardsmen. I will not allow you to be a knight(you'd already be called to war), soldier or anything along those lines. I might allow adventurers but only weaker ones. You could be anything from a scholar, a farmer, a blacksmith, a tailor, a village lord etc.
- As training progresses, your character will find their niche and understand their strengths and weakness in combat(whilst also constantly throwing up and knocking themselves out). Perhaps they might prefer ranged weapons, or traps, or they're not good at fighting head on, or have poor reaction times. And no, your character can't be good at everything. I love character progression, and later on your characters may become very powerful.
- As long as I get two, relatively dedicated people interested I will start work on the threads! If you don't like small groups then this may not be for you. At the same time I'm fine with a larger group, but I will try not to keep interested folks waiting.
