Ascendants (Dragon RP)

This is a reboot of my old RP, c:

PLOT:

Long ago, there was a war between two dragon clans, Dark Ones and The Pure. There was a powerful crystal that held the ability to grant its user's wishes, so all the dragons wanted it, but it kept changing side. One day it was with the Dark Ones and the other day, woops! It was with The Pure. Unlike the names, none of the sided were really considered 'evil' for they both wanted the crystal for the good of their nation. Dark Ones wanted it to replenish their empty home with a beautiful and luxurious land and give more fertility to their females, while The Pure wanted more knowledge and power for the better of their people. But they weren't the only ones in this war. The poor humans were stuck in between, and even if they didn't have a side they preferred, their villages were often targets of hungry warriors desperate for food and land. It was until the kings decided to split the kingdom in three and help whatever side each kingdom wanted to help. There were three big lands at the time.

The first one, Fors, was the land of frost and the kingdom with the smallest population and their villages were filled with magicians and savants. Tired of the frost and cold that invaded their homes, they sided with Dark Ones.

The second one, Bota, was known as the land of forest. They mastered the art of crafting and were capable of building deadly weapons and large towns with all their resources like stone and wood. Wanting all the knowledge possible, they sided with The Pure.

And the last kingdom, Nira, was known as the land of sea. They had both knowledge and magic, for some villages were even built underwater! They were able to craft magical weapons and knew about many things, but since some parts of the kingdom were dangerous, so the kingdom didn't have much space to thrive. Since everybody had their own motivations, each person went their own way.

The dragons were surprised from this at first, but quickly liked the idea. Dark Ones promised to cleanse the human's lands and The Pure promised to help them to a better and higher technology if they won. The war waged on for many centuries, yet the crystal still switched sides. But one day, the crystal magically divided into two pieces, so both sides could now live in peace with a piece for each.

This fight happened many thousands of years ago, but it is not forgotten. And what is strange is that dragons and humans have disappeared. The division disrupted the crystal's delicate energy and... the pieces exploded. The explosion then caused the fusion of dragons and humans, so today, all that is left are dragon humanoids.

But it doesn't stop there.... a new crystal with the same power has been found. Will there be a new war? Will brothers and sisters fight against each other once more? Nobody knows for sure, but the battle has already started and kingdoms are already starting to divide... now take your side!

Sorry for the long intro guys. ^^"

CLASSES + TYPES:

There are a two classes, magic and warrior.

MAGIC: Your character masters, or almost, the art of magic. They were either born with it or they decided to learn this ability. In this class, there are types.

FOR ALL TYPES:

Armour wise: most magic prefer to put lighter things such as robes. They sometimes wear leather armour and on rare occasions, light metallic armour. The ones who most commonly wear armour are Healers.

Weapon wise: other than being able to use spells or make potions, magic users carry staffs, and often bring small daggers and on rare occasions, swords.

Elementalist: controls the power of the elements FIRE, FROST AND ELECTRIC.

Conjurer: has the ability to summon creatures under it's command or raise people from the dead to fight for them, but for a short time.

Healer: these people are usually passive and try to avoid conflict, usually just there to heal others, but if they have to fight, they usually carry swords or staffs that are often very effective against the undead, making them feared by many Conjurers. As for armour, they may wear armour or robes.

Druid: like Healers, these people are usually hanging in the 'backstage' preparing potions and poisons to help themselves or their teammates. They are the ones least likely to battle physically, using potions that have various uses, from changing their form temporarily to healing others. Other than potions, they can preform some basic spells and carry around staffs.

The disadvantage of magic is that it drains the caster's energy which can result in black outs, multiple complications like skin cancer and even death. But if used carefully and correctly, the complications are less present.

WARRIOR: Your character masters, or almost, the force and smarts of a warrior. This skill is mainly learned but some people have an inborn talent. Once again, there are types:

Armour and weapons vary with each type.

Long-range: masters the art of the bow and other long rang weapons. They have a keen eye and a very good aim. They tend to wear brown-ish light armour for silent and quick movement.

Close-range: masters in brute weapons such as axes, swords, maces, etc. They usually have very strong arms but are usually slower. They tend to wear heavy armour.

Assassin: works in the shadows and usually has very light weapons such a daggers, but can carry bows sometimes. They are fast and quiet but aren't as tough or strong as Close-range warriors. Usually wears light dark-coloured armour.

Thief: like the assassin, these people work silently and quickly, but their motives are different, they just want their loot, and they prefer to avoid conflict, but if fighting has to occur, they usually aren't very skilled, as many thieves are just trying to get easy coin. They carry daggers, usually cheap ones, but more fortunate thieves have better daggers and are ready to kill.

~~~~~~~

SPECIES:

There are two different species that both live in this world. (The species does not change the side.)

Winged: These are basically winged humans that have dragon wings, a tail and horns and/or claws. But they mostly look more human than Anthros.

Examples:

Anthros: Pretty much as if a human wore a dragon skin. They have wings, tail(s), claws, scales, everything a dragon has, but stands on two legs. Tend to be more savage/'animal' than Winged, but have better stamina and strength.

KINGDOMS:

The kingdoms are still the same today, but have changed a bit.

Fors: This frosty kingdom occupies the north part of the country, and there are large mountains in the middle of this territory and to the south are snowy forests. This kingdom has many lakes around its mountains, so the population is more concentrated there. They are 100% Dark Ones.

Bota: This plentiful kingdom occupies the south part of the country. Smaller than Fors, it is still much more populated. To it's south are beaches that are avoided for the pirates that roam there and to the north, there are thick woods. Many rivers flos in this land, one which goes from the top of Fors, passes next to Nira and empties into the ocean at the south. This kingdom is 100% The Pure.

Nira: This coastal city occupies a smaller space than the two other kingdoms, located in the Western area of the country. It is an important place of commerce, since the Tumi River that start in Fors flows here. There is also a large sea at it's left, so many boats come here. This is the only places were there are no major disputes between The Pure or Dark Ones, though there are some occasional drunken bar fights. The villages that were once underwater have now been removed.

~~~~~~

OTHER AREAS:

Dead Land: This spooky field is right in between Fors and Bota and to the right of Nira. It is called Dead Land because there have always been fights here since the beginning of time, so there are many skeletons and remains of ancient battles, thus nobody dares walk these lands for it is rumoured to be haunted by ancient ghosts. During war, it is passed on.

Streak: This long stretch of forest on the Eastern side of the country is like the Dead Land, it belongs to no kingdom. Though it is used to pass illegal merchandises from kingdom to kingdom without having to pay taxes. It is also place for many refugees that have escaped or lost their homes.

Castien Lakes: These are the large lakes that surround the large mountains in the middle of Fors. They are the main source of water for many of the villagers in this cold kingdom and it empties it's waters into many rivers across the land, many which verse into some lakes in Bota.
