The Dragon Trials
In all of Solnathe, there is only one Academy of Dragon Riders despite being a rather large country. It's a prestigious place, where only the chosen riders are admitted. To get into the Solnathe Rider Academy is one of the greatest honors someone can achieve in the powerful kingdom, considering the odds of it happening are very, very low.
Every couple of years various dragons arrive at the Solnathe Academy, there to witness the trial potential riders will complete in an attemp to win a dragon over. The Citizens of Solnathe don't know why the dragons come, but whenever a dragon shows up, whether its one dragon or ten, the trials for potential riders are held before the beginning of the next Academy year.
This year is different, though. Whispers of there being a larger than normal amount of dragons be present have coarsed through Solnathe. Some view this as a bad omen, believing there being more dragons than normal means there could be a coming war. Some believe they're good omens, a promise of a plentiful year. No one truly knows what it means, but everyone can admit there being ten dragons in search of riders is odd. Welcome, but odd.
Pressures within the youth of Solnathe are high, as they are whenever dragons are around, but it's what these potential riders have waited for all their life. This is the only chance to prove themselves and make their families proud. At the end of the day, will they go home Dragonless? Or will they enter the Solnathe Rider Academy as the newest Members of it's Dragon Rider Corps?
_______________________________
I wanted to do a Dragon and Rider Roleplay. I just wanted to do something that wasn't my normal ones. I will be closing my other dragons roleplays if anyone joining wants to know, I'd appreciate everyone's understanding at this time. |

The Rules of the Roleplay
Follow all of WP's and Eve's Rules.
1. Be Active. Sometimes I'm not on for a couple of days, but I expect everyone to be as active as they can for the rp. Unless you are waiting for someone to post, you should be posting. Posts should be occurring every 3-ish days.
2. Reservations last 48 hours. You know how I work if they aren't done in time. You may ask for One Extention of Up to 12 Hours, but You Must Ask Before the Reservation has Expired.
4. Maximum of 3 Characters per Person for Now. Only 1 Dragon Per Person to Start Please.
5. Semi-Realism and Semi-Literacy are required. Please do not make me explain myself.
6. Yes. There will be more riders than dragons. Not every Rider will succeed at the trials.
7. The riders are new, they will not be experts at Dragon Riding. Mistakes will be made, and they do not know everything.
8. For now, your own dragon and your own rider cannot be partners, this it to prevent people from not having others to post with.
9. I reserve the Right to Deny Applications for this Rp. I won't tolerate disrespect or rude behavior if your application gets denied, or your reservation/character get removed due to inactivity. If you do, I won't even give you the option to fix it or return. If you are respectful, I am often willing to work with you.
10. Try to keep things even with genders, it's much more interesting if things are diverse.
11. LGBTQ+ is welcomed and allowed here.
12. Please put your favorite Dragon movie or book in the other section of your form if you've read everything.
13. As Mentioned: These are still kids. They shouldn't be expert assassins, or perfect swordsmen, etc. They can have training for things, but they're still just teenagers.
14. There will be NPCs trying out as well, so you're welcome to utilize your own NPCs unless I say otherwise.
Choosing Your Partners
For this Rp, it is going to be quite different than my other ones. This is not going to be an immediate, instinctual bond like in the past. Instead, the Potential Riders will have to complete a set of different trials. At the end of the trials, the Dragons can choose from who is left on who they want to be their rider, if they want. None of the Dragons will know exactly who they'll choose til the end, but they might have a select few or group they keep their eyes on throughtout the process.
If two dragons choose the same rider, it can be decided one of two ways. Either the rider can choose, or the dragons can fight for their claim on the rider.
Once a Rider has been chosen by a Dragon, and they bare the Dragon's Mark, there is no going back. Rejecting the Dragon afterwards will kill them.
The Academy Rules will be Created Later.
Subject to Change and be Updated. |

Major WIP for Rehaul
About the Academy WIP
About the Dragons There are a variety of dragons in the world, though everyone single one of them fall into one type of class or another. Instead of giving them a Singular, Pre-Decided Ability, I've decided to give you more Creative Liberty with Your Dragons.
All the dragons in the Rp are the same age group of young adult, which is the stage where they are 50 years old or above, becoming full adults at about 250 years. The older a dragon gets the longer the aging stage lasts, ergo ancient is longer than adult, which is longer than young adult, which is longer than their adolescent stage, and so on and so forth. Dragons are considered semi-immortal but it has never been proven what age they die naturally at.
For the Purpose of this Rp, all Young Adult Dragons that are New Dragons are capped at 19 Feet Tall. I've based this on the largest I would allow the Young Adult Dragons in different dragon rps.
For your dragons, though, it will be up to you to come up with their abilities and their individual weaknesses. Of course, I will have a specific set of Weaknesses that apply to ALL dragons, but each dragon will also have their own. You must have 1 Weakness for Every 1 Ability they have. So if you give them 5 Abilities, you must have 5 Weaknesses for them as well. This is to keep balanced, so no one's dragon is OP. If I do not think you have balanced your dragon enough, they will not be accepted.
Classes
For this Rp, I will be Only Accepting Reservations for the Dragons Available on the List. There will be ten dragons, and I will decide which dragon classes there will be, and you can choose from what is available.
Dragon Weaknesses & Strengths
These are the Strengths and Weaknesses that all Dragons Share.
For Weaknesses:
⊗ Iron Weakens & Drains Them.
⊗ Soft Belly Scales
⊗ Cannot Fly with Injured Wings
For Strengths
⊕ Longevity & Superb Healing
⊕ Resistant to Specific Types of Human Magics [Curses, Mind Control, etc.]
⊕ Enhanced Abilities Such as Speed, Strength, etc.

Name:
Bhaskara;
Goes mostly by Bhas, but he doesn't mind other Iterations of his name.
Age:
243 Years
Gender:
Male
Role:
Original
Class:
Light
Rider:
Open
Appearance:
Bhaskara is a rather unique individual in terms of his appearance, often mistaken for species he isn't, but never assumed he's what he is. This is due primarily to his more feline like physique, which is most comparable to a lion, albeit a rather large lion, but a lion nonetheless. It's even rumored that the dragon is the inspiration for several rumors and lore that have spread across the vast lands, but he doesn't confirm or deny any of these accusations, allowing others to come to their own conclusions.
In terms of size, Bhaskara does not boast the largest of frames, nor is he the smallest. He stands at around 17 feet at the shoulder, though his head and wings often make him appear taller, as he carries himself with pride and confidence. He's rather long in appearance, the combination of lion and dragon he seems to be made up of making him about double or more of his height. Along with that, his weight is quite heavy, being a rather well muscled creature, with long, athletic legs built with power for bursts of speed on the ground, as well as the uncanny ability to jump despite the heavy wings resting on his back.
The best place to start for Bhas is his head, which is distinctly and obviously very leonine. In comparison to an actual lion, Bhas' head is pretty normal, though obviously it is befitting a creature of his size. The primary difference is that instead of fur on his face, he boasts smooth gold scaling, before transitioning back to fur at his chin, giving him a soft little beard there that most lions hold. His lion nose is gold as well, covered in tough scales instead of the soft flesh of a normal nose. Oddly enough, between the scales of his muzzle sprouts several white whiskers. For eyes, Bhaskara holds the typical lion-like optics, their shade of color a topaz shade that is somehow bright than even the color of his scales. Atop his head are four bull like horns that arc away from his head, the outside pair taller than the inside pair, albeit not by much, and the two sets nestle gently against each other, acting much like a crown a lion is worthy of. They, like his face, are gold in color, ridged with sharp kerotin. Their bases rise out of the opalescent mane Bhaskara proudly carries, the strands of hair soft and long, their white strands glittering different colors in the light. The locks of mane seem to gather and hold light, making the male dragon seem like he's constantly glowing, radiating light from his mane like some sort of sun god. His mane extends down from his head, covering his neck, the tops of his shoulders, and ends as it gradually down his chest and belly.
From where his mane ends, the gold scales can be seen starting again, covering the base of his body in a sheen of metallic that is hard to look away from. His legs, which appear more lion like at the shoulders, transition to a more dragon like foot, which ends in sharp claws of pearly white. This is applied for all of his legs, though his front feet sport a combination of longer and deadlier claws and toes. The scales of his base travel down to his belly where they gradually grow lighter in color until his underbelly scales are a soft cream, something similar actually to the color of his mane, but not quite.
From powerful hips and hindquarters, Bhaskara grows a very dragon like tail, thick at the base, and gradually tapering down to a sharp point. It's powerful and flexible, but doesn't adorn any sort of spikes or spines on it, being used for utility more so than weaponry. In fact, the only real spikes the male has on him, aside from his horns, are a pair of spikes on either side of his hips. They jut outward and up, and honestly make for the perfect pegs to hang things off of.
Lastly, there are Bhaskara's wings. These great and powerful appendages are something Bhas is extremely proud of. They are heavy and strong, able to carry and lift him up without any struggle. His wings, though, are feathered rather than scaled and membraned. The feathers near the top of his wings start at that rich gold color that is his base, before lightening to the same color as his mane, becoming opalescent at the tips, reflecting light in various colors. They're a beautiful display of regality and strength, a humbling combination of beauty and power.
For his voice, Bhaskara has a deep, basso like voice, warm and powerful in tone. Honestly, it's a voice worthy of a king.
Personality:
Regal | Patient | Level Headed | Calm | Territorial | Intuitive | Protective | Honest | A Bit Blunt | Not Easily Riled | Steadfast | Reliable | Indepedent | Good Natured | Strong Willed
Abilities:
I. Lumopresence
This ability allows Bhaskara to sense things that are standing in sunlight. Like how some Dark Dragons can sense things when they're standing in shadows, Bhaskara has the ability to sense things that are standing in direct rays of sunlight. He can even focus and "see" through the sun, but this leaves him incredibly vulnerable so he rarely ever does this. Instead he uses this extra sense, basically, to help defend himself and others as works as a good alarm system.
II. Radiance
This is a Two Fold Power, depending on how he chooses to use it. The three types are: Radiant Aura and Radiant Pulse. Each has it's own unique purpose, and he's comfortable using them.
1. Radiant Aura
The first of the three types of Radiance, Bhaskara has the ability to draw light to his body, surrounding himself in a warm and bright aura of pure light. This can be anything from a subtle glow, to being almost like a mini sun. It's blinding to look at, though only temporarily, unless you stare at it for a stupid amount of time, and can be extremely distracting and difficult to work around. It's also very difficult to determine exactly where he is, as he can push the Aura a bit away from his body, which leads to his next ability. One thing to keep in mind about this ability, is because it's a collection of sunlight, it also contains radiation. It isn't enough to permanently make someone sick, but they'll start to feel weak and ill the long they stay in his aura.
2. Radiant Pulse
Considered almost liek the next step of Radiant Aura, this ability is pretty much exactly how it sounds. He's able to pulse his aura around him, acting like a flashbang at times, stunning people when they aren't expecting it. He can, however, also pulse his aura away from him in a wave, disorientating and confusing anyone caught in it for a brief time. It also can be rather uncomfortable because it's warm. This warmth is a reminder of the radiation that lays within the pulse. Because it's a strong attack than just his Aura, those who are directly hit by the way will likely feel weakened and/or ill for several minutes, to several hours [depending on their own health] afterwards. There are no lasting effects though.
III. Light Manipulation
Often considered his main ability, Bhaskara has the ability to manipulate light, and light energy, to his will. This can be using light beams to attack, or creating shields or barriers out of light. At night he cannot use this ability unless there is something creating light, or he has stored light within himself. Typically, he stores light energy within the strands of his mane, but this is a finite amount, and once he's out, this ability is useless at night. During the day, it's much stronger, and up to how much strength and willpower he has left.
IV. Healing Light
This is actually his "breath attack", but instead of it being an offensive ability, it's a support one. He breathes a soft, warm light that, upon contact with a wound, begins to heal it. It can't reattach things, or bring someone back from the dead, but he heal even severe wounds if he has the energy. This power, though, comes from his own energy being metabolized into light, so, again, it's finite. If he tries to heal someone too much it could render him unconscious of even dead.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
Strengths
- Strong and Powerful Boy. Durable Powerhouse.
- He is Quite Soft in the Mane, and Very Cuddleable.
- Intelligent and Calm. Making his Mind it's own Weapon.
- He has Great Maneuverability on the Ground, Able to Function Well Even with Damaged Wings.
-
Weaknesses
- Most Abilities Don't Work at Night, Unless He's Stored Light Energy Away. Even Then, it's Finite.
- Not the Fastest of Dragons. He's a Big, Heavy, Stronk Boy.
- He has to Be Careful When Healing Others Not to Hurt Himself in the Process.
- Stealth is Not his Prowess. He's a Walking Night Light or Beacon.

Name: Mikaela Kindra Hale; Goes almost Exclusively by Mika Age: 17 Years Gender: Female Which Dragons Catch Their Attention?: TBD Appearance: Credit Belongs to Djarn on Picrew.
Mika is an young woman with an athletic, but rather curvy build. Standing at 5'8" she could be considered on the taller side, and weighs about 141 lbs. She has more musculature and mass to her in general, with a strong set of shoulders, a matured bosom, narrow waist, and flared hips connecting to strong, powerful legs with thick muscling. Truly the young woman has what many could consider an hour glass figure, though her hips are wider than her shoulders are.
While her facial shape is more triangle in contour, Mika boasts a rounded chin with a stronger jaws, and sharp cheekbones, though she has a fullness to her features instead of being gaunt. Her eyes are upturned in shape, and slightly hooded, giving her a rather intense look to them. Above her eyes are a pair of well groomed, but full eyebrows, and below her eyes is a short and slightly narrow nose that comes to a rounded tip. Situated below her nose is a set of rather full, rounded lips that aren't often pulled into a smile.
In terms of skin tone, Mika has rather tanned skin, the bronzey sun-kissed hue a testimony that she has spent a lot of time in the sun, and is quite comfortable in it. She's naturally more tanned in tone, but much of her pigment right now is from spending time outside in direct light. Her eyes are a very pale hazel color that appear an almost straw color, like a pale gold that isn't quite bright enough to be metallic. The tawny color is light against her darker skin, but doesn't stand out as much as the orange color of her hair. She's naturally a red-head, but her natural tone is more orange than actual red. She can pass as a strawberry blonde at times, but she's truly an orange-haired red head.
Personality: Serious | Competitive | Sarcastic | Slightly Judgemental | Impatient | Easily Irritated | Not Quick to Rage Though | Over Protective Big Sister Vibes | Tom Boy | Brawler | Brazen | Bold | Confident | Not Easily Impressed | Tenacious | Resilient | Stubborn as a Mule | Might be Perpetually Grumpy | Ambitious | Decisive | Aloof | Honest | Assertive
Mikaela embodies a unique blend of traits that form a captivating personality. Being serious is her default mode, approaching life with a focused determination that very few can rival. Known to be competitive to the core, she thrives on challenges, always seeking to outperform and outwit any opposition that dares to cross her path. Mika's sharp tongue is one of her her weapons of choice, laced with sarcasm that cuts through pretense and foolishness with ease. She's not one to mince words and can be slightly judgmental at times, sizing up situations and people with a discerning eye. Impatience seems to fuel her veins, and she's easily irritated by inefficiency or incompetence, though she's not the type to fly into a rage at the drop of a hat. Despite her gruff exterior, Mika harbors a fiercely protective instinct, especially towards those she considers her own. With her overprotective big sister vibes, she's quick to leap to the defense of her loved ones, ready to throw down and brawl even if it's not necessary. Brazen and bold, she faces challenges head-on, unafraid to push boundaries and break conventions and not the type to back down from them either. Confidence radiates from her every step, unshaken by the opinions of others which causes Mika to not be easily impressed, her tenacity and resilience pushing her to constantly strive for more. She's as stubborn as a mule, and once she sets her mind on something, there's no turning back or really shaking her off either. While she may come off as perpetually grumpy, someone who rarely lets out a smile, underneath lies an ambitious soul, driven by a desire to conquer whatever obstacles stand in her path. Rather decisive in her actions, Mika wastes no time in making her intentions known in anything she does. She exudes an aloof demeanor, preferring to keep her emotions guarded. Yet, beneath the tough exterior lies a heart of honesty and sincerity. Mika is assertive in everything she does, but especially in her beliefs and is unafraid to speak her mind, even if it means ruffling a few feathers along the way. In essence, Mikaela is a force to be reckoned with – a tomboy with a brawler's spirit, brazen and bold, yet fiercely loyal and honest to a fault. She navigates life with unwavering determination, leaving a trail of awe and admiration in her wake.
