Wings of Fire
Wings of Fire Roleplay!!
Alright, so in this roleplay the canon characters do not and have not existed. The wall of weird IceWing aristocracy rankings was never broken. There is no decades-long rivalry between any tribes (y'know, besides the usual "my tribe is better" junk.) The Lost Continent is common knowledge. SilkWings are still servants of HiveWings, but there is no mind control. LeafWings' existence is not a secret and they live in a secluded forest. There is a school just like Jade Mountain, Unity Academy, but it exists on an island between the two continents and takes tribes from both continents. Scavengers are treated as they were before book 14 or Dragonslayer, in fact of even less importance because of the lack of the War of SandWing Succession. They are of little consequence to this story.
Other than that the world is the same.
There can only be one Animus dragon for each tribe- it's first come, first serve (and only for Pantalan dragons.) Only one blood-red egg MudWing and only one firey-scales SkyWing. One character can be a hybrid for each roleplayer. Four leafspeakers, four flamesilks.
There are five winglets in the school, just like Jade Mountain: Ruby, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, and Amethyst, each consisting of ten dragons. You do not have to be a student.
All righty then!

Hey!!
Hope ya'll saw my introduction post. At any rate!! I've never done a roleplay before, so hope I'm getting this right. I'm super excited though. I love Wings of Fire! Quick question, Tsuki the Skywolf: do you mean that only pantalan dragons can have animus magic, or only pyrhians?

Hey! Yup you did it exactly right- (and yeah I meant pyrrhian dragons can only have animus magic- sorry about that! XD)

Tribe: LeafWing
Pronouns: he/him
Winglet: uhhh Silver's one of them right?
Abilities (as in powers): Leafspeak
Abilities (as in strengths): Very curious, intelligent but tries to hide it-- a bit like Qibli
Personality: Like I said, pretty similar to Qibli except he isn't as self-aware. He's talkative and very friendly, and extremely loyal. Also pretty awkward in social situations.
Appearance: Dark green scales similar to the leaves of an ash tree, clear blue eyes, small ears and big feet.
Family: open I guess?
Backstory: Grew up in the Scorpion Den, came to Jade Mountain as soon as he was old enough. This is his third year here.
Faults: Worries too much about what others think, awkward, sometimes talks too much
Other: Open to shipping with other males, preferably LeafWings though if he finds someone he really likes he’ll love them no matter what.

Hey, thanks Raven!
I believe Silver Winglet is canon in the series, but not at Unity in this roleplay...the winglets are Amethyst, Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald, though I'd reccomend choosing one of the first two because they're the only ones with dragons in them yet.
Oh! And since I never specified how the different grades would work let's say Jade Moutain does exist (but none of the characters associated with it) and so does an academy in Pantala similar to it, and the schools picked a couple of dragons to go to Unity which is for both continents, and those are where dragons who've been going to school for a few years are fun.
All right, it's the day before school starts when everyone gets there, and when at least 1 winglet fills up entirely we can start the school.

Starless surveys the dragons surrounding us, his unblinking eye studying each student critically. That's something I've always admired about him: he can tell so much about a dragons' ability and strength by just observing them. Me, I can tell lots about emotions and thoughts, if I can be with them for long enough, though that's not too helpful in a fight.
A pair of RainWings walk by us and I look at them interestedly. There had been a RainWing at Good Fortune, but she was much older than I was and left the orphanage when I was quite young. These peculiar dragons are smaller than the other students and one has lots of white and purple and pink, colors I'd never known a dragon could be. And the colors ripple and change! I lean forward interestedly, and Starless snorts imperiously.

Oh, sorry! I'll be in Topaz then.

has been quite a bit since ive come on here. havent seen one of these in awhile, guess ill join.
NAME: Ender
TRIBE: NightWing IceWing hybrid
PRONOUNS: she/they
WINGLET: Ameythest.
ABILITIES (LEAFSPEAK, MAGIC, ETC): Animus and mindreading (promise i can balance it out, other section)
ABILITIES (POWERFUL FIGHTER, INTUITIVE, ETC): Good at fighting, observant. Has a lot of street-smart things.
PERSONALITY: Blunt, but lies a lot. Least likely to start a fight, but most likely to win one. Likes chaos and confusion. However, has no common sense whatsoever.
APPEARANCE: Like a nightwing, with silver teardrop scale thingies, but with a white circle around her ankle. Wears a lot of silver and golden rings and necklaces and whatnot.
FAMILY: Nobody really knows.
BACKSTORY: Abandoned in a forest when she was an egg. Grew up learning to fend for herself.
FAULTS: Has no common sense, is the most idiotic dragon ever when it comes to arithmatic and stuff, likes to make very dangerous jokes, and likes to live life on the edge. too much.
OTHER: So my plan for balancing animus + mindreading out- shes a very secretive dragon. I want her to know a lot, but at the same time, not want her to be overpowered (As per usual). so, she's secretive and doesnt like other dragons working with her- shes more of a "do this myself, i dont need help" type, so really, her mindreading is only useful to herself. and her animus...well, the bit of common sense she has is called "dont use your animus or youll lose your soul" so she only uses it in life or death situations

I'm so excited I can hardly breathe, but nervous too. I wonder what cave I'll be assigned to. Will I be living with anyone? I spread my gold-green wings, scanning the crowd for faces I know; at last I spot Azure, a SilkWing I knew from my hive. I wave him over.
"Swallowtail?" he says. "I didn't know you'd signed up."
"I've been wanting to ever since I heard about Unity Academy," I reply.
He bounces up and down. "I wonder if they'll let you use your flamesilk."
I twitch back my wings. This is something I've been wondering too. I hope so, I think. My flamesilk is part of who I am. "I don't know," I said aloud. "I got a scroll about the rules, but I haven't read it yet."
"Hey, me too!" he says. "Why don't we go spin a hammock and read them together?"
I'm distracted by a HiveWing about my age when he hurries over. He's orange-gold, with spots of black scattered over his scales, and his horns twist back in a way that frames his sweet, slightly-worried face. "Hi," he says. "I'm looking my sister, she's named Polybia. She's almost all black; have you seen her?"
"N-no..." I stammer, suddenly aware that I'm staring at him. "I'll tell you if I see her, though."
"Great!" he says, a smile chasing the worries off his face. "Thank you. I'm Anthophora, by the way."
"I'm Swallowtail," I manage.
"Nice to meet you. I hope I see you around, Swallowtail," he says. Then he's lost in the crowd.
I like the soft way he says my name.
"Swallowtail!" Azure says impatiently. He's already spun himself a soft gray hammock and unrolled his rule-scroll. "Why're you talking to that HiveWing?"
"He was looking for his sister," I mumble, holding out my wrists and spinning myself a hammock of flamesilk--the kind that doesn't burn. I pull out my own scroll and we put our heads together. Thankfully, the only thing I see about dragon abilities is: Abilities are allowed but will be monitored carefully.
Azure smiles in relief. "There, you can use your flamesilk. Just don't burn down the school or get anywhere near any dragonflame cactus."
I roll my eyes and study the crowd. The colors mold together: blue, green, gold, cream, red, white, black, brown, and dozens of rainbow colors from the RainWings and SilkWings. Smiling to myself, I close my eyes, thinking about how excited I am to meet everyone. Just before I slip into sleep, I picture Anthophora's sweet face and notice how he's the one I'm the most excited to get to know. But I don't have time to wonder why--it's been a tiring flight, and I'm already in dreamland.
|||||||||||||||||||||
Ok, that was my first Role-Play ever, hope I did ok!!! Can't wait for school to start.
(October 1, 2021 - 2:37 pm)
Hmm, we should get together and figure out the rules for the school. I just made one: Abilities are allowed but will be monitored carefully.

Hooray! Yes it's great!
(this question is for everyone) do you want to pick what dormmates you get or have it be random? (And Shining Star, what winglets do you want Azure, Polybia, and Anthophora to be in?
