Welcome to Central Florida. Only 4 major cities in the region- Tampa, Orlando, St. Petersburg, & Miami. As such, it is the perfect hiding place for a wide range of supernatural creatures, including a Black Dragon. The dragon goes by the name of Crowe Thompson as a human, & is a lawyer in the Tampa Bay area. Recently, he has gotten wind of a group of modern day adventurers have learned the general location of his lair, & plan to raid it, & try to slay him. Being a dragon, he isn't about to let that happen. And so, has begun probing to find out who the adventurers are, & take them out before they all meet up. Welcome to the Dragon's Lair.

Profiles

Dragons
User Name: Zaydin
Name: Varthan Selanmere/Crowe Thompson
Age: 423
Gender: Male
Race: Black Dragon
Appearance: Dragon Form/ Human Form
Bio: Varthan is, well, a dragon. He moved his lair to Central Florida around the dawn of the 20th century. He has been there since, but has begun considering to move his lair-and horde- to safer territory elsewhere.
Powers: Everything you'd expect a dragon to have; fire-breathing, shape-shifting, spell-casting, etc.

Gaia Name: Syrana
RP Name: Ciara
Age: 16 (Ageless)
Race: Mutt of Dragon blood
Element:Fire and wind
Personality: At times she is quiet and rather shy but more often she is tempermental.
Appearences:

Human form:One
Two

Dragon form:One

Two



~ Ciara's eyes tell more of a story then anything else. They seem to change when her mood changes. They go an odd crystal blue when she is angry and when she is acting more like a dragon they are golden. When this happens a strange white ~ mark appears under her right eye~

In appearance she has the look of who is purely innocent. Her hair which falls past her waist is the color of pure snow, though in reality she hates snow beyond belief. Most of the time it is either tied back out of her face by a black ribbon or braided down the center of her back. Dazzling green eyes, that change to crystal blue when she is angry and golden when she is acting more as a dragon, stand out against a fair complexion. Though she has a good build she is rather small in size and at times seems almost fragial. As a matter of wardrobe she more often then not dressed for her own comfort rather then for the show of others. Her top almost as white a** her hair is long sleeved. The sleeves seem to billow out slightly at the end. Ribbons of black seem to weave and intertwin with the fabric near the end of the sleeves and around in various places of the shirt. As for pants she is usually seen in black pants. Over all this she adorns a black hooded cloak that looks to have been through alot of hard times.

Weapons: Shyu,Tsayu

Shyu: The blade itself seems to be nothing spectacular at first glance. Shyu is sword of great power and seems to contain the spirit of a dangerous demon. It seems that the sword itself chooses its master and after the death of Ciara's older brother Liam it came to her. The sword has a mind of its own and at times will disobey orders, because of this it can be hard to handle.

Tsayu: Tsayu in its normal appreance it a small silver dagger that Ciara carries on her at all times.The dagger seems to be a way to channel great amounts of power while in its second form which is a long thin blade sword. Like Shyu it has a spirit of its own and chose Ciara to be its wielder. It too has a tendency to disobey orders.

Abilities: She controls a number of odd flames and the wind seems to react to her emotions.She has a slight healing gift and can speak the tongue of all animals.

Bio: Ciara hails from Tundara. She seems to have taken after her mother Aria, who was in the eyes of most just another weak human, more than her father in the aspect of how she acts. She prefers to go about in her human form rather then her demi form or the full dragon form she is able to take on. When it comes to power though, it seems like she takes after her father Arigu, the King of Tundara. Though she holds his great power, she is second in his eyes to her twin and exact opposite Ariac.

Adventurers

User Name: Mystery Wolf
Name: (As is called) Jason Smith.
Age: 25
Race: Dragon
Gender: Male
Role: Adventurer
Appearance: Human
Dragon
Bio: His real name is actually Mystery, and although he is a dragon, he is completely unaware and spends all of his time in human form. He fell on the ground and hit his head at a young age and does not remember anything about being a dragon at all. He has become a n adventurer to stop a dragon for personal reasons.
Powers: Flying, Fire breathing, shapeshifting, and ability to last in cold climates (Completely unaware of these abilities)

User Name: Rinel_underwood
Name: Rayne Sharp
Age: 17
Race: human
Gender: female
Role: adventurer
Appearance: Rayne but with black hair and dark blue eyes.
Bio: Rayne is your average, every day teen... well, maybe goth teen. She definitely isn't very preppy or cheerleaderish. One thing that is obviously different about her, though, is her love for taking risks, doing stupid things. That and the fact that all her life, she's had horrible luck. She's never won any games of chance, things always seem to break around her. Plants always wilt after a few days if she owns them, goldfish die after a week. But... even when her parents died in a car crash when she was seven, she survived.... without a scratch. She's fallen from trees, done dangerous skateboarding stunts and even broken a few windows... never more than a broken bone or two. Because of this odd thing about her, though, she's been kind of shunned. She lives with her grandmother now, who never notices anything, but everybody at her school kind of shuns her, except for three or four other daredevilish type of kids. One day, they caught wind of these rumors, about this dragon. They thought it'd be cool to play adventurer, bring a videogame to life... so they started a contest, the first one of them to find the dragon and kill it wins the keys to the school to use as they please. Rayne doesn't really care, but she figures the adventurer crap sounds like fun, and is going to follow up a lead she heard. None of her friends or herself believe that there actually is a dragon, though.
Powers: Bad luck to such a point you could almost call it a curse, till it comes to life or death situations... not a power but its all she's got going for her... or maybe against her.
Note: Her bad luck, good luck thing actually is a curse, put on her and her family by an ancient dragon. Nobody believes that though.

Servants/Hirelings

User Name: (Losing Consciousness)
Name: Ialu Marriott
Age: 17
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Role: Servant
Appearance: Ialu has relatively long silver hair, that although still not near to chin length, is at least long enough to cover the top half of his face sometimes. His eyes themselves are a very light ice blue. Upon close examination, his eyes seem rather glazed over, as if he were in a trance, or something to that affect. His skin is pale to the degree that it would probably appear unhealthy to most people. Ialu is also slightly effeminate. His clothes are in general, not all that interesting. Just a t-shirt and jeans with a jacket, most of the time.
Bio: Ialu has been working for Crowe for about a month or two, but rather than being payed for his service, or being indentured to the dragon, he is working for him in exchange for lessons in magic. Of his story beyond this much, not even Crowe is entirely sure, since if anybody ever asks him where he came from, or any question having to do with his history, he claims to have amnesia. It is easy to tell that this rings of a lie, but even when pressured, Ialu stands by the statement firmly. He lives just outside the cave where Crowe lives, in a small tent in the forest, reporting to his master in the mornings. Although it's hard to tell at first since he gets along fine while in the forest, Ialu is also completely blind.
Powers: When not working for the dragon, Ialu can often be found in a sort of trance, during which he is essentially asleep, but easily brought out of it if someone calls for him. While in this state, he is able to read minds and communicate telepathically, his ability to read minds extending to an ability to tell the past events that have occurred to people, and often even reading into information they may not even know. Even without his trance, he can tell a little bit about a person's basic emotions. When in a trance, he is completely unaware of what happens to his body. Also, as stated before, despite his blindness, he has a sense of where any organic matter is located, and is therefore able to navigate by himself in all areas which he frequents, and any forest. He does, however, require an escort when venturing into the more unknown areas of his master's home.

User Name:the lady yunalesca
Name:Elda Lightfoot
Age:17
Race:elven/fae
Gender:female
Role:Servant
Appearance:Elda (except wearing all green and with one purple eye and one green eye)
Bio:Elda was the middle princess of seven that ruled her people in her homeland of Elandur. However when Varthan came to their land, he attacked the village and said he would stop his attacks if he gained a good part of their wealth and someone to serve him. Elda nobly gave herself as a servant to seal the deal with the dragon.Varthan gave her her last name,'Lightfoot', for her quickness. She sometimes misses her six sisters and her homeland, but traveling with Varthan has allowed her to see things she would have never imagined.
Powers:Being a fae, Elda has power over the element of earth. Also as she is of elven race, she is naturally quicker than a normal human. She has been partially studying along with Ian to develop other skills, such as the strength she lacks to go head on in a duel(Elda prefers to use her speed to her advantage instead of strength)
Other:She is usually the one who helps Ian when he needs a hand to guide him in unfamiliar areas.

User Name: Hitokiri_Shingetsu
Name: Nanori (Nani for short)
Age: 17
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Role: Servant
Appearance: Nani
Bio: Nanori is an orphan. The reason behind her family's death is unknown. She was taken in by Varthan at the age of two when she was found wondering into his lair. So to her, there is nothing else but him. Her only impulse is to protect and serve him. She rarely speaks to the other servants and often says by Varthan's side unless told to do otherwise.
Powers: While she is human, she is fast on her feet and her senses are sharp. She is physically better off that most and can go for days on end without nourishment. Nanori will follow orders without question. But if anyone but Varthan commands it, she will not do it. She is also an expert at creeping along without making any noise, so is perfect as a spy. That, and she would rather die that spill any information.

Other
User Name: Indigobloo
Name: Tai Mogami
Age: 327
Race: Dragon/Human Sorceress
Gender: Female
Role: Free spirit
Appearance: Human/Dragon
Bio:A quiet girl who has lived in peace the rest of her life. She has never been the type to fight and never thought she would be in the situation of distress ever. She once told herself that one day she would be the keeper of Harmony and keep the fairness in the world and has been trying to ever since.
Powers: change forms, fly, diffferent use of te elements, etc

Varthan sighed, lying in his chambers, by his horde "Life is so dull" he muttered "I suppose those adventurers will make it more interesting, for a short time"

"So it would seem my lord Varthan..",Elda said as she sat nearby her master. She sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, her blonde hair falling to the stone floor in a simple braid. She was invisioning her homeland.. her sisters..and the very vague shadows of the adventurers that Varthan spoke of.

"So, this dragon's out in the swamps somewhere, right?"
"Yea, definitely. That's what the guy in the shop said. Said he works with satellite imaging and cartographers, and he noticed some weird cave out there, very well hidden. Here's the coordinates though." Her friend replies, handing over a sheet of paper with writing on it.
Rayne blinks in surprise, then glances up at him. "This isn't too far outta Tampa. Wow... so its been here all this time?" She asks in disbelief. It was amazing to think there was a dragon out there, still managing to go unnoticed in this completely overpopulated world, where it seemed nothing mysterious could hide any more.... then again, Lochness managed to hide in that lake over in Europe... so she supposed it was possible.
Her friend, on the other hand, just laughs. "Hell, I doubt its real, but if you guys wanna go on a wild goose chase, this is the best bet for where you should look. There's been quite a few disappearances in that area over time.... So, something might be out there. I just don't think its some dragon." He replies, still laughing a bit as Rayne gets to her feet.
"Well, thanks for the info Grant. See ya later." She says, paying for her meal, then leaving the restaurant to go get ready for this dragon hunt.

"Indeed" Varthan said "I certainly hope they know what they are doing" he added "Certainly wouldn't want to kill them within a minute of fighting them"
PostPosted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 10:12 pm


A little while later, Rayne had stolen her grandmother's rifle and was wearing her black gloves with the brass knuckles built into them. She also had her switchblade on her, but she didn't expect to use it if she really found a dragon. With the rifle strapped to her back on the outside of her black coat, Rayne leaves the house and walks over to her motorcycle. Her and her grandmother actually lived outside the city in the swamp lands. The rifle she had had been used previously to scare away several alligators... normal southern hick stuff. This adventure, though, would be anything but normal. Grinning slightly, she sits down, then turns on her bike and glances down at the directions taped to her coat arm. Nodding to herself, she then guns her bike, driving out into the wild as lightning rolls overhead. As her luck would dictate, of course it would be a rainy night while she was outside, hunting around for this dragon.

'What does he think off when he gets angry?' her mind was a storm of brooding thoughts. ' Does he really want me to answer the question of what I think of him? That self serving b*****d!' Her wings carried her south. ' If he thinks I am just going to stay around while he screams his head off...' She circled once before continuing her corse. Her white scaled shone broightly in the sun and his her in the clouds. Her course wasn't one she had set. For the moment, she followed the wind and nothing else.

Resting in his tent outside of his master's cave, Ialu's eyes opened needlessly as he came out of his trance, and he frowned, the information he'd gathered while he rested gradually coming to order in his mind. "Someone's coming..." He muttered aloud, and sank back into his dream world quickly, reaching out into the reaches of the cave behind him until he came upon Varthan and Elda's presences. Gently, he reached into the dragon's mind. "Master Black. There's a girl heading towards here. Could you send Elda out to collect me?" He asked through the mental link.

"Of course" Varthan answered "Elda, go fetch Ialu" he said to his servant
PostPosted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:04 pm


Hm... I should be getting close... says here just another four or five miles..." She thinks to herself. "This is actually going.... well?" Rayne drifted off midthought as her bike suddenly began smoking. Cursing, Rayne pulls over, then jumps off her motorcycle as the engine starts smoking, then catches fire. "The hell?" She mutters, stepping back and staring at her bike. But... of course. "Stupid curse..." She mumbles, turning away from the bike. Just then, as if to add insult to injury, Rayne felt a splattering of rain drops hit her, followed by a few more. Within several minutes, it was raining. "Great...." She mutters, then swings around and kicks her bike. "Could this day possibly get any worst?" She asks herself, though she knew the answer was a complete yes. That was the way things went. Grumbling, Rayne sticks her hands into her pockets, then glances down at the map taped to her coat sleeve. Hey... if there wasn't a dragon in this cave, maybe she could hang there till the rain stopped... and she doubted there was a dragon. Well... it would be a walk, but it was better than sitting out here. Flipping up her coat collar and continuing to grumble, Rayne heads off into the swampy woodlands of the Florida everglades, heading towards the dragon's lair.

"Yes Lord Varthan..", Elda said as she stood up. She seemed to only take one step and then she was gone. She was going at a speed that made her nearly invisible to the human eye. Elda didn't want to reveal herself to an invader as she went to Ialu's aide. She arrived and her pace slowed down. She reached out her hand to Ialu,"Come Ialu...", she said softly. She sudden stiffened for a moment as she too felt another presence approaching,a human...one of the adventurers?, she thought.

She banked hard as the scent of another dragon asaulted her. It was faint but enough to tell her she was just outside the territorial lines. She had no wish to engage this dragon in anyway, though it bothered her that in all her time she hadn't come across this creature before. Shrugging it off, she landed a few miles off and shifted to her human form. She was hungry but then she would hunt later. For now she would rest.

She settled herself under an old willow. Soon sleep took her.

A tree branch shook...then another and again...weight was being put on each branch, who's weight? Jason's. Jason jumped from tree to tree with realitive ease- he had a dream last night...dragons- they were around here somewhere... "Probably in some cave....idiots never hang around in sight." he mumbled and landed on the ground. His strength, his agility, heck a lot of stuff he had was stronger than the average human. He just thought he was like that because of his frequent training though...he had no idea he actually was one of the dragon creatures he was hunting.
