the lore

**This thread is based on the Fourth Wing book series by Rebecca Yarros. Things have been altered and will not follow the book to a T (especially where dragons are concerned.) I have tried my best to avoid spoilers but read on and join at your own risk if you plan to read the series thus far. You do not have to have read the series to apply for this RP! I have provided extensive lore and will be able to answer any questions you have.**
Welcome to Basgiath War College, located in the Kingdom of Navarre's Morraine Province. Basgiath is an intense college set to prepare cadets for service to their kingdom. There are four different quadrants: Infantry, Healers, Scribes and Riders. When a child comes of age (20-21) they participate in Conscription Day where they choose which of the four quadrants to join. Every child in Navarre has to participate in conscription day, no exceptions. They have their choice of the four branches and if they fail to gain admission to the Infantry, Scribes or Healers they are defaulted to first-line infantry fodder. However if a cadet fails in the Riders quadrant it means they're dead. It may seem ruthless but it is necessary in the war effort against the Kingdom of Poromiel and their Griffin riders who have been causing disturbances along the border. The Riders quadrant is the only one that is volunteer only. If you're there its because you're choosing to be. Unless you're a Child of the Rebellion, in which case you are forced to enter the Riders quadrant with no ability to choose one of the other options.
For the sake of this RP we will only be RP-ing as Riders and Dragons. This is a limited spot application based RP. We will roughly follow the plot of the first book to start out, going through what it's like to be a first-year cadet at Basgiath. There are many challenges to earning a dragon as a partner and bonding with them at Threshing that we get to explore. Think of this as a college style RP except the classes are aimed at training and survival. As far as the dragon characters go, one thing different to the book is that they are able to shift into human forms in this rp. Since dragons don't really come into play until later in the book, in order to make them involved from the beginning my GM's and I decided that they would be going through classes of their own to prepare them to bond with a human rider. The overarching plot of the RP is the conflict with Griffin riders and the Navarre government that our characters will get thrown into.
I am keeping the interest check brief and on the application thread I will post LOTS of relevant lore and info needed for character creation!
the members
...
6/9 open
rider
humans who choose (or were forced if you're a child of the rebellion) to join the Riders Quadrant. humans are just that, humans. they have no innate magical abilities or fantasy elements about them. they have the ability to bond with a dragon and inherit powers from them but that's it.
6/9 open
dragons
lethal beasts who have their own form of government. they have the ability to shapeshift into a human form, though they don't gain that ability until they choose to bond. dragons have no powers of their own despite their ability to breathe and have immunity to fire. they are able to bond with humans and through that bond gift their human a power.
rules
...
rule one!
Fcs must be real, no cosplay or art! characters are aged 20-21. Please make sure the fc you choose fits to the age! If they're 21 they shouldn't look 15, or look 30+. Please have them fit into the thread theme. The real fc rule does NOT apply to dragons, seeing as dragons don’t exist you’re more than welcome to use art for them. However the human form of the dragon will need a real fc that also follows the age rule as dragons are the same age as humans in this!
rule two!
You can apply for a max of 1 rider and 1 dragon. You do not have to make both, if you only want to apply as a dragon that is perfectly fine. However you could not apply to play two riders or two dragons. We reserve the right to accept your dragon application but deny your rider application or vice versa!
rule three!
Must join discord, most of the plotting will be through there! Until your character sheet has been completed and approved your spot is not guaranteed. You will not be able to join discord and plot unless you are accepted! If we don't feel you are a proper fit for this thread we reserve the right to reject your character sheet/turn you away from the thread. Behavior that violates rpn site rules will lead to you being kicked!!
rule four!
Please be respectful to the other members of the thread! If you have an issue please dm me or one of the GM's first.
rule five!
This is a moderate effort thread in terms of word count, a min of 500 and no more than 2,000!! We do require literate and well done posts!
rule six!
No godmodding!! Skills and abilities will need to be discussed and approved to make sure they fit within the thread and aren't too op. This follows into the actual rp process as well! An addition to this is making sure character concepts are creative and don't completely overlap with others. My GM's and I will be sure to post our character concepts even if we don't get our apps up right away for reference!
