Plot Summary: There is a mystic land, populated by many mystical species. The peace has been kept by thousands of years by the Argetlam, the Dragon Riders, Elves and Humans who have bonded with Dragons. They are among the most magically talented, and the subject of awe and respect, both riders and mounts. But a new danger has come to their land, a king twisted by evil spirits and a desire for revenge who has begun a rampage, killing dragons at every chance he gets, aided by the power given to him by the spirits that have possessed his body, transforming him into the Shade King. And only a group of five Dragon Riders, based on the canon senshi that we know and love, dare to undertake the task. But will they be able to get along and learn to cooperate to defeat this new evil, that comes in the form of an evil King who seeks revenge on the Dragons and has plans to wipe out their race.

But their task will become much more difficult when one of their own falls in love with the evil king, and her love is returned, in a way? They must now find a way to heal rather than kill the king, if they are to save their dearest friends and save their home.

Details on any necessary information: Based on the books from Eragon, the Inheritance Cycle. the girls are dragon riders, though you can decide if they are human or elves. Please note that humans will look fairly elfin but not completely. They will have dragons, which you can design and will control. Dragons are telepathic, very intelligent, and VERY closely bonded with their rider. Usagi will of course have a black dragon named Luna, Minako will have a white dragon named Artemis, and Rei will have a deformed two headed dragon named Phobos and Deimos. You can use this doll maker to design your dragon! Doll Divine Dragon Maker

Usagi and Mamoru will of course be needed. Usagi you can decide if she is an elf or a human, and she can have a crystal heirloom with some healing powers if she's an elf, but nothing like the canon. Mamoru will be the evil king seeking to destroy dragons, because dragons killed his parents. Probably an accident but up to you. Also the girls will require new names as this is a fantasy setting, which will be up to you. You can pick a character from the inner or outer senshi, but ultimately there will only be 2 inner and 2 outer senshi in addition to Mamoru and Usagi's characters.

The general plot is the girls all volunteer to face the king, do preperation, travel to his evil kingdom, somewhere along the way Usagi and him will meet and they'll fall in love, not recognizing each other for who they are, which happens because the still good part of Mamoru travels his kingdom, ala Moonlight Knight, trying to repair some of the harm he's done to his kingdom, so probably he and Usagi meet a handful of times along the way. And then the final battle where the girls combine their and their dragons power to heal Mamoru of the evil spirits that have possessed him because of his desire for revenge and essentially brainwashed him.

They can speak like an ancient language but parentheses or asterisks or italics can be used to show when they're talking in the ancient language. They can perform spells using the ancient language or silently if they're REALLY skilled, though if a newer or unskilled magic user tries doing spells silently, it's possibly they'll get distracted and disasterous results can follow.

Also, dragon riders can feel the life force of everything around them, animals, insects, birds etc., and will feel what death is like when a creature dies and they may be connected with it. This has led majority of Dragon Riders to be vegetarians, but humans are capable of overcoming this and continue to eat meat. Elves are probably vegetarian to begin with.

Dragon riders also carry swords whose coloring matches that of their dragon, and they are able to store energy in the pommel for future use. Generally gems can hold a very large amount of energy, with diamonds being able to hold the most amount. So it's likely they could have jewelry where they store energy for future need. They can take energy from any source, as long as it's living, which includes animals,insects, and plants. Spells that heal wounds require the same amount of energy it would take to heal naturally, so it's usually not recommended to heal wounds with your own energy in your body.

For some information about the ranks, training, and swords of the riders, and the bond between rider and dragon, see the links below. a fairly short quick read.

so who wants to join?!^^

Claiming Usagi because rooooooomanceeeeeeee.

Then again, if someone else wants Usagi, I can claim Mamoru instead

I was thinking about claiming Usagi, but do you need a lot of book knowledge from this? I've only seen the movie ages ago

I wouldn't say so - I haven't read it either xD I think all the info you need is in the Details on any necessary information, but I could be wrong.

yeah no info really necessary. i mean they can speak like an ancient language but we can just use parentheses or asterisks to show when they're talking in the other language. they can perform spells using the ancient language or silently if they're REALLY skilled, otherwise if you're not skilled you'll mess up the spell badly.

also, dragon riders can feel the life force of everything, and will feel what death is like when a creature dies and they may be connected with it. this has led majority of Dragon Riders to be vegetarians, but humans are capable of overcoming this and continue to eat meat. Elf's are probably vegetarian to begin with.

OH! and dragon riders are marked by a silver elfish design on the palm of their dominant hand, which is why they are called Argetlam, which means silver hand.

plus i'm the walking encyclopedia about this books so no fears! ask me any questions you might be curious about!or you can read these short articles from the wiki.

also i added this info and a little more in the original post!

alright so puu, merc, i know you guys were considering Mamoru and Usagi....any thoughts on who will get who?^^ i made a character request to try and get the other slots filled up!

Well, if Puu doesn't mind me taking Usagi and being my Mamoru, I'm on board ^^

That's fine with me! Yay evil Mamoru

alright then! i'll add you guys to the lists!^^ so glad to be in another rp with you guys <3*love*

yay! i finished my profile for Sehmirya/Setsuna!

oh i forgot to mention dragon riders and dragons have telepathic powers, they can communicate mentally with any living creature. this is how a rider and dragon communicate.

alright just so you guys know, change in the title! so...yeah.^^ couple things got changed! Mamoru will be known as the Shade King, and the dragonriders have to try to figure out a way to heal him of the spirits possessing him. also Shade King gets some "Moonlight Knight action", meaning the fragments of him that remain good takes a seperate form, and roams his kingdom trying to repair the damage caused by his body. and this is how he and Usagi meet!

also if you guys can think of anyone who might be interested in this roleplay, i'd really appreciate it! i'd like to start this roleplay like right after the meeting where they volunteer to take on the mission.

That all sounds great

yay! alright so the storyline should be approved once Saturn gets to it...have either of you have the time to get started on your profiles?^^

I have not, but it's on my to-do list.

Sounds good. I haven't started on the profile yet, but I will try soon. I'd like to do a bit of research first since it's advanced and based on something I haven't read.

alright. if you guys need any help or have any questions, ask me, or ask kyra, she's read the books as well! you don't have to know everything, the main things you need to know is about how a dragon and rider relationship works, and how shade's work.

and how elves are, if you decide to make your character an elf, mercury. and anyone else who opts to be an elf.
