The Legend of Dragoon - Destiny of the New Age Dragoons

History: Many thousands of years ago dragons ruled the world, and they governed the lesser races while maintaining peace and stability. Fearing that their time would soon be drawing to a close, the dragon council came together and chose seven mortals to carry on their legacy, enabling them to summon the Dragon Spirits to assist them in combat. These mortals would be known as the Dragoons, and their powers would be without equal.

When the dragons finally disappeared, the Dragoons themselves formed a ruling council, and they took up residence in the legendary city of Valden. From their seats of power, the Dragoons governed wisely till the end of their days, and they passed on their spirits to their children, and their children to their children.

The Dragoon Wars - End of the Council
(Ruling Council Members)
---
Red-Eye Dragoon - Garath
Dark Dragoon - Elize
Jade Dragoon - Armael
White-Silver Dragoon - Larissa
Violet Dragoon - Midas
Blue Sea Dragoon - Ravias
Golden Dragoon - Kamoru

Nearly a thousand years passed when war finally broke out. Elize abruptly left the council and returned to her home province, where she used her powers to brutally enforce her will upon the people. Her husband, Ravias, tried unsuccessfully to calm her enraged spirit down, but she shunned him entirely. The rest of the council decided that it was time to put an end to her ways, and they went to war against their wayward sister. Ravias, though heartbroken, would not willingly play a part in the destruction of his wife, but neither would he side with her.

Elize had been having an affair with Kamoru, and in the middle of battle the Golden Dragoon warrior turned against his brethren, slaying Armael outright. Abandoning his soldiers, Kamoru fled to the castle where he sought out Elize, who was busy fighting against both Midas and Larissa. With the help of her summoned Darkness Dragon, Elize was able to banish Midas into a hellish dimension before turning her wrath on Larissa. Garath arrived only too late to save her, but he avenged her death by killing a weakened and unrepentant Elize.

Kamoru, hoping to catch and kill the detached Ravias off guard and thereby claim Elize as his own wife, was instead met with the combined strength of both the Red and Blue Sea dragoons. Ravias having earlier returned to his senses, joined up with Garath, and together they sought out their traitorous friend. Though immensely powerful in his own right, Kamoru could not easily overcome both Dragoon warriors, but after a long and bitter struggle all three finally fell in defeat.

With the council destroyed the world fell into chaos, and it took almost another thousand years before the various mortal realms finally reached some semblance of peace. Many, many generations later the epic tales of dragons and of the dragoons became nothing more than a simple bedtime story.

Current Setting:

This thread starts off with the neighboring human kingdoms of Winterlake and Sheran being at war with one another. So far casualties have been limited to just the soldiers, but the conflict has threatened the general stability of the region, and it is only a matter of time before the outlying villages are swallowed up.​

Characters
The dominant species to be played out in this thread will be humans, but I am open to other races as well. Feel free to ask, but please keep in mind the style and setting of the thread when suggesting a race. There will be, for example, no space monkeys allowed :confused:

Also, at the start of the thread there will be no defaulted Dragoon players, so please don't ask if your character can be one right off the bat. Eventually seven characters (I'll NPC a few if we don't get enough RPers) will be chosen as the new hosts for the dragon spirits, but for right now everyone will just have to sit tight. I am looking for thought-out characters, so take your time in writing a bio before sending it to me. If you have any questions, or need help coming up with a character, feel free to send me a postcard in the mail, and I'll do my best to help you get set up.

Not all characters have to start off in Winterlake or Sheran, so if you feel creative enough to come up with your own starting area, just let me know and we'll work it out :)

Each character must be sent to me in a PM, otherwise you will not be allowed to RP in the IC thread. There vill be no exceptions! For me, a proper bio includes vital statistics (name, age, etc.), Personality, Appearance (pic is a bonus) and Biography. I'm a sucker for details, so the more the better.
