The Legend of Dragoon (Casting Call)

[TearsoftheWorld]

Thinking about trying this one again. Anyone interested?

The story will not take place in the world that the game revolved around, so we're free to make our own adjustments, but the core concept will remain: various individuals are 'called' on to become dragon knights, able to use magic and wield greater power (for either good or evil).

I'm not going to require PMs for invites, so feel free to post here and ask questions... or yell at me... whatever strikes your fancy.

Well, nice to see you take another shot at this story. I'll see if I can find the character I had made for the first attempt. Might end up having to hunt down the original thread.

You're certainly welcome to re-use your first character (as I will likely do).

I *might* do some reworking on the backstory. I kinda borrowed a little too heavily from World of Warcraft.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

*pulls a straight face*What is this "World of Warcraft"? Is it popular enough for someone to notice, let alone care, that you may have "borrowed" from it?

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

*coughs*

Not a clue.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Found my bio. I had completely forgotten what I had called the guy, so I thought at first that I hadn't saved his bio to my computer.

I might have to make some changes in order to fit with your revised story, although after reviewing it, it seems that I'd only have to change geographical references, if I have to make changes at all, unless of course you make some major changes.


Oh, and in case it wasn't evident from the last time, my familiarity with the Legend of Dragoon is almost zero, so I'll be taking cues (and probably a few ideas) from what you put up in both OOC and IC.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

The changes won't be too major, so I don't think a lot of revision will be needed.

And again, the only thing you really need to know (in order to participate) is that each character is chosen by a specific dragon, and that their abilities are enhanced. But when in doubt, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll answer as best I can.

Okie-dokie. In that case, here's my character for Take 2. Oh, and just in case anyone else is wondering, I've got dibs on the White-Silver Dragoon.

Name: Ragotho “Rags” of Agassi
Age: 35
Hair: Black, short
Eyes: Brown
Height: 6 foot
Weight: 200lbs
Distinguishing Marks: Four parallel scars on one side of his face, seeming to be from an animal attack of some sort.
Weapons: Long and short bow proficient, carries a short bow. Hunting knife
Other skills: Proficient hunting and tracking skills in various environments, primarily in woods and mountain areas.

Bio: Ragotho was born and raised in a small mountain village on the foothills of the Agassi Mountains, at least a week’s hard journey west of the city of Carin. The Agassi Mountains are a massive mountain range that stretches as far as the eye can see from north to south, their peaks so high up that they are snow-capped year round. Life is difficult, and at times dangerous, for those who dwell at the feet of those mountains. The winters are some of the harshest in the land, with enough snow falling at times to bury entire houses. Summers are not much better, being wet, muddy, and all around miserable. As a result, the people of the Agassi Mountains are a hardy, strong willed people who do not shy away in the face of adversity.

Legend has it that beyond the Agassi Mountains, lies a land filled with wild and exotic creatures, untapped treasures that put the treasuries of empires to shame, and just about everything else the mind can imagine. However, none who have ventured into those mountains intent upon finding the truth of what lies beyond have ever returned. Only the people who live on the foothills have ventured into the mountains and returned, but they never travel more than a day’s walk into those mountains.

Ragotho is one of the few men who dare travel those mountains on a regular basis for days at a time, and he is often looked upon by the people of his village as a bit of an oddity because of it. Ragotho is a hunter and a pretty good one too. Every time he heads out on a hunt, he returns with some of the biggest and best game to be found anywhere.

What actually has been set in stone about the world? Technology level, prevalence of magic and it's use, etc?

 

[DeathsKnight]

Well Tears if you will have me I'll take my old character

 

[LeoHawk35]

I do believe I want back in. Might change up a few things, though.

Name: Leo
Alias: Silveron (Because of his unique eyes.)
Age: 25
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 175 lbs
Hair: Eye length sandy blonde, dark almost to the point of being mistaken as being brown.
Eyes: Silver.
Gear: Being the assassin that he is, he tends to keep his face hidden in shadow, wearing mostly leather armor and some amount of mail. His armor was custom made during his time in a rather curious town that few have seen and fewer have stepped inside. And lived, that is. The blades under his forearms were designed to be hidden to all eyes(Yes, yes, copy of AC Hidden Blades, I know. But they're really nifty things.), and always there when he needed them. Strangely enough, he uses them more often than he does his swords or daggers. As it stands, he carries an aura of confidence about him that has often turned away trouble with a glance.


Weapon skills:
Daggers
Throwing Knives
Long/shortbow
Hand to Hand
Long and short swords.

Miscellaneous skills:
Climbing
Thievery of various kinds.

Mini bio: Not much to be said about Leo. He isn't a thief, exactly, but rather follows his own moral code. He never knew his parents, and as such has no last name. He moves from town to town, almost as if searching for something. The fondest memories he has of anyone would be of the young woman he used to travel with, for a time. But, he left her in the middle of the night, not wanting to bring any trouble to her due to who, exactly, he was. He grew up in the streets, where he learned his various skills and gained his equipment. He takes on the occasional assassination contract and turns in bounties to keep his funds going. Getting from town to town is easier than he would have thought. He just hitches rides on certain horses or sneaks into caravans, going wherever the road takes him. Life is simple. But he couldn't rest. Not until he found her. The woman he abandoned. He has crossed land and sea, fought armies, toppled governments.

He has few keepsakes from his childhood: A jet black gem polished to a lustrous sheen, and a pair of daggers. He found the gem in the pommel of a broken sword and kept it for himself, attaching it inside the palm of his right gauntlet. He has sworn he heard it whispering to him, but one can't be sure about these things. After all, there is every chance that he could be going insane from all the lives on his hands. But as it stands, he doesn't think he's going crazy. There is no reason his past would come back to haunt him now.

"I trouped, traveled, loved, lost, trusted, and was betrayed. Write that down and burn it for all the good it will do you."


Alright, so not many things.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

Thank you all for showing interest! I'll get things rolling soon (aka in the next couple of days).

 

[DeathsKnight]

I'm guessing that means that I can join up:

Name: Dennis Norvak
Alias: Harrier
Age: 23
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 350 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green

Weapon skills:
All types of swords
Spear

Miscellaneous skills:
Spear Fishing
Carpentry

Mini bio: Dennis could only remember being raised by a friendly couple on a farm, he found out later that they were his foster parents, what had happened to his parents or family nobody could tell him as it seems that nobody knew. One thing that Dennis did have about his past, was a gem. It was a Jade color and polished to perfection, Dennis had spent many evenings looking at the gem. Sometimes he could have sworn that the gem vibrated and he could hear a voice whispering to him, but it never was clear, so he didn't think much of it.

He was out in town, delivering vegetables when the raid took place. When he returned he found his foster family slaughtered, their animals stolen and the farm burned down. The only thing he could find was a dagger and the gem, how they failed not to find it, or how it did not get damaged in the fire, he didn't know. Being raised on a farm and taken on several hunts by his foster father, Dennis had learned how to read and follow tracks. He had tracked the group of bandits for days, but when he caught up to them, he realized that he could not take them on, they were way too many for him to take on alone. Marking each man's face in his mind, he vowed his vengeance and slipped away.

Present: Dennis is working as a guard in the city of Carin, honing his skills with the blade as often as he can for the day that he can have his revenge

 

[CaramelLuv]

I"d love to get in on this, I'm just not clear on the details.

 

[DirkPitt06]

I'll post my bio.

Name: Vali
Race: Human
Age: 24
Occupation: Teacher/Instructor
Description: Brown hair, gray eyes, thick build, tall

The inheritor of the Schwarzenwind school, Vali has spent the last ten years mastering the martial arts. His current travels take him across the realm planting the seeds of new schools and spreading the teachings of his master.

Combat Abilities: Hand and foot techniques, some pole and staff weapons

((Dibs on Darkness? ))

 

[Jedi_Khan]

I think Leo has the Dark Dragoon, Dirk. DK has Jade and I've got White-Silver. And if Tears replays her character, she has the Red-Eyed Dragoon. Sorry.

If the list of approved Dragoon spirits is the same as last time, that leaves the Violet, Blue-Sea, and Golden Dragoon spirits left open.

Of course, it would probably help if Tears put up a list of Dragoon spirits here as well as some details about the story, such as the setting, time period, etc.

 

[DirkPitt06]

I was just trying to avoid a direct Haschel rip-off. I'd love either Violet or Blue-Sea if either is still available.

 

[CaramelLuv]

I agree Jedi. That way i can try for one of the other dragoon spirits, maybe the violet?

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

The Red-Eyed Dragoon Spirit (reserved ~ Tears)
The Jade Dragoon Spirit (reserved ~ Deaths)
The White-Silver Dragoon Spirit (reserved ~ Jedi)
The Dark Dragoon Spirit (reserved ~ Leo)

The following are still open. Please let me know which one you'd like

The Violet Dragoon Spirit
The Blue-Sea Dragoon Spirit
The Golden Dragoon Spirit

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

I'll have the backdrop for the thread done shortly. You guys have certainly been patient... just have ninety things going on and it's tough balancing it all out.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

Name: Laya de Theodora
Alias: Calista the Red
Age: 28
Hair: Black
Eyes: Amber

Weapon skills:
Daggers
One-handed swords
Throwing Knives

Miscellaneous skills:
Lockpicking
Climbing

Mini bio:

Laya was at one point an orphaned child living in the streets of Ebona, but she was taken in by a wealthy business man named Antonio de Theodora (who had no children of his own at the time) and strove to have her educated. Despite having everything she could ever want, and plenty of potential suitors when she came of age, Laya fell hard for a handsome vagabond named Villon that was part of a dangerous crime organization called the Gang of Four Shells, and together they robbed public offices, churches and private estates, as well as engaged in numerous street fights with rival gangs.

The good times would soon end, however, when one of Villon's closest friends turned him in to the authorities, but they could not find Laya.

From a distance Laya witnessed Villon's execution, and she has been on the run ever since. Laya has adopted numerous aliases over the years, and she is currently known as Calista the Red because of the small red ribbons that she attaches to her throwing knives.​
