You hear the soft jingle of bells as you enter the Du'Ragon Bookstore. A smell of vanilla incense tickles your nostrils and you see hundreds of books piled up in random areas in a less than organized manner. You can't help but think what a strange and unkempt bookstore this is but still, something brought you here.. something pulled you towards this eccentric little shop.

Three people can be seen arguing in the back of the shop. You hear something muttered about wrong components and a spell gone backwards. They looked rather unkempt themselves, dressed in garb clearly outdated yet strangly fitting.

Upon closer inspection of the books you notice that they were all bound the same. Simple brown books with a black strap in front. Despite their unusual appearance you spot titles you recognize: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, Legend of the Drow. In another pile you spot Alice in Wonderland, Watership Down, How Green Was My Valley, and A compliation of stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe.

This was indeed a book store.. and such a variety at that.. but why the strange books? The lack or organization? The strange people in the back that clearly ran this bookstore? You wanted to buy a book. You needed to buy a book. The hairs on your neck stood rigid and goosebumps danced upon your flesh. This was no ordinary shop and these were no ordinary books..

Welcome to Du'Ragon's Books, where your visit may lead you on a journey into the imaginations of three young mages and new world full of potential beyond your wildest dreams.

.: Shop Staff :.

Meeki: Meeki appears much younger than she really is. Though she is in her late twenties, she keeps her dark hair in pigtails that fall to a few inches below her shoulders. Her glasses are a big large for her face so she's always pushing them back on her nose. She's the owner of the Du'Ragon's Books and has worked with the shop the longest.
Mondo Celest: Mondo became Meeki's apprentice about seven years ago, when he was naught but a child. He was an orphan on the street, a mere pickpocket but due to the tutelage he has under, has become quite a promising.. shopkeeper. In fact, he recently acquired an apprentice of his own.
Maziki: Where Meeki is experienced and serious, Maziki is naive and wild. She definately brings spontaneity to the bookshop. She's a new apprentice to Mondo and tends to get the spells wrong more often than naught! She has a lot of perseverance and determination though and aspires to be one of the greatest... shopkeepers in history!

Special Acknowledgements
AmyD AmyD created the wonderful linearts for this shop.
Meeki came up with the concept of the shop and purchased said wonderful linearts. XD

.: Information :.

You are probably wondering how to get a Du'Ragon and what the process is that goes with it. So I'll try to summarize it here for you.

First, you will need to catch a flatsale book, custom spot or win an auction. The kind of pet depends on how you managed to get the book. If you win a Flatsale spot, then you can pick any book you like (or we can pick one for you). We will need a description of the book and what it's about to have an understanding of how your pet will come out. Customs get a little more freedom, they can grab a lesser character from a book and their pet can come out with attributes based on that character. The only way to get a main character is by landing a book through auction.

Once you have your book and we have an idea of what you want, we will give you your pet. The pet is an essence of you, in this new world. The book becomes a teleporter, a kind of doorway from you to get from this world to the next world. Cool, huh? But of course, in the 'new world', you'll start out as a baby and have to grow. But come on, we've always wanted to be a kid or teenager again, right? So it should be interesting.. especially in a new world! You can leave that world and come back to this one as your normal self whenever you want, just use the book! Though you can spend years in the new world, your real life self won't age. When you go back, you go back just a moment after you originally entered the world.

The cool thing is, you can buy multiple books and live the lives of as many Du'Ragon as you want. However, you can't be in two places at one time, so you can only transport yourself into the 'life' of one character at a time. You can fall in love as your Du'Ragon character, have children, buy pets and live a life of adventure! If for any reason your Du'Ragon character dies.. you will be transported back to this world to your normal form and the book will disintegrate. So no harm would ever be done to yourself. Just play it smart and try not to get your character killed though!

Oh yeah, we have to cast a spell on the book once you buy it to open up the portal. We will use a magical scroll and a spell component for this. The scroll will be your receipt or birth certificate and will let you know when you can start travelling through your book. You can choose any of the common components you want for your pet as well. A component will give you an idea of what kind of character you will have or what abilities he/she may be able to gain. Just read the descriptions and see what kind of component you would like.

We also let you choose your first familiar for free. All we require is your choice be one of the common familiars. The rarer familiars are granted through auctions, the occasional custom or can be acquired through a roleplay event. We'll see about that at a later time. I think that pretty much covers what you need to know about getting a Du'Ragon!

.: Du'Ragon Spellbook .:

The Du'Ragon Spellbook is the most treasured item. It allows the mages/shopkeepers to bless other books along with the use of a magical scroll of enchantment and a spell component. The book then becomes a portal from this world to the next, a doorway for the pet owner to travel through.

Common Components
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

1. Bear Claw: The bear claw grants the Du'Ragon with physical strength. Like a barbarian or beserker this boost is usually triggered by a surge of emotions.
2. Cat Claw: The cat claw grants the Du'Ragon with unbelievable grace. Du'Ragon with this compenent often become dancers, bards or thieves where balance, poise and grace are 'tools of the trade'. Why not profit from your ability in some way?
3. Dino Claw: The dino claw grants the Du'Ragon with a type of stoneskin temporarily when needed. Their skin literally becomes invincible for a short period of time. No weapon can pierce it. Using the ability can become draining though so cannot be used for long periods.
4. Canine Tooth: The canine tooth allows the Du'Ragon to run twice as fast. It's always an amazing sight when you see a Du'Ragon with a canine tooth component running at full speed. They can run so fast that they can run across small water areas such as rivers and small lakes without falling in. A more dare-devil Du'Ragon might even be able to run across a small cavern or cliff and appear to be running on air. Again, they can only do this for smaller areas. They will eventually fall or sink. XD
5. Dino Tooth: The dino tooth component allows the Du'Ragon to have strong bones. Their claws and teeth are much stronger than usual and can be used as weapons and cause twice as much damage to others or objects. They can literally bite through metal such as blades so keep those weapons away from mouths.
6. Shark Tooth: Du'Ragon are usually terrible swimmers and many have water phobia. A shark tooth component allows a Du'Ragon to get over that fear. Not only can they get over the fear but they gain a shapeshifting ability and can turn into any water based creature (fish, dolphin, seal, etc) while they are in the water.

Rare Components

1. Magical Pendant: A magical pendant allows a Du'Ragon to practice magic. Witchcraft, Sorcery, and Wizardry are a few examples of trades that can be learned with the pendant component.
2. Crystal Egg: The crystal egg component allows the Du'Ragon to gain the ability to communicate with wildlife of all kinds. They can literally talk to any animal and plant and get responses from them. This is a great component for those that want to deal with animals or become a Ranger or Druid. The beautiful part is that anyone that is around this Du'Ragon can actually hear the animals and plants speak back in the Du'Ragon language as well. Once the Du'Ragon with this ability leaves the area, the animals and plants can no longer be understood or communicate.
3. Wisp Egg: The wisp egg allows the Du'Ragon to control the elements around them. If it's a foggy day, they can manipulate or move the fog. Water? Fire? A lightning storm? They can take control and manipulate any of the elements to their liking. Quite a scary possibility, eh?
4. Open Rose: The open rosed, also known as the rose of light or the love rose grants the Du'Ragon a charismatic and virtuous set of morals and abilities. They gain the ability to heal, to ward of evil spirits, and sense when evil is around. Think of clerics or paladins and you have an idea. :: Mondo Only
5. Closed Rose: The closed rose, also known as the cursed rose, or the black rose curses the Du'Ragon into becoming an undead creature of the dark. Zombies, Death Knights and Vampires are among the possibilities. :: Meeki Only

.: Races :.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Normal Du'Ragon: The normal Du'Ragon are the most common. They can be good or evil based on their individual personalities and/or character attributes.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Wylde Du'Ragon: The wylde Du'Ragon prefer to live in houses and huts built in the trees. They have bridges that lead from one house to another and really, it's a beautiful sight to behold. They love the outdoors and prefer a simple life.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Angelic Du'Ragon: The angelic Du'Ragon are a kind and gentle race built around strong morals. They represent all the positive things in the world and will risk life and limb to help a friend in need. Love, Trust and Honesty are beliefs they live by.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Demonic: The demonic Du'Ragon are the opposite of the angelics. They believe in causing chaos and giving other Du'Ragon a hard time. They are capable of love and romance all the same but tend to be more distrusting. They are usually selfish and value themselves above all others.

Deity: N/A


.: Stages :.

Closed Scroll: The closed scroll/parchment is your "Reciept" for the book you purchased. Think of it as a kind of birth certificate as well. It will open up to show general information about your 'pet'. When this happens, it means you can begin to travel with the use of your book and live the life of your pet. It will 'open' up at the Baby Stage.

Baby: There's not much a baby can do except play with other babies. They cannot talk.. you cannot talk in baby form. You realize who you are though and can transport back to the real world through your book whenever you want but as a baby.. you will do as a baby does. XD

Child: When you transport to the book and find that your Du'Ragon self is a child, that's when the fun can start taking place. You can run, skip, climb, jump, pick on others, talk, and do anything a kid can do. Your component starts working at this stage so feel free to roleplay your special ability as well. Your personality for your Du'Ragon self should start coming out at this stage.

Teen: Ah, the teenage years. Your personality should be in full swing and your body is starting to bloom. You start feeling things that confuse you and find you suddenly have a crush on your best friend, or the Du'Ragon over yonder. Depending on the kind of Du'Ragon you are, your alignment starts showing up as well. Are you good? Evil? It should begin to really show at the teenager stage.

Adult: You have finally grown into an adult Du'Ragon. It's a good thing you don't age in the real world when you visit the land of the Du'Ragon, huh, otherwise you'd probably be an old fart! Really, as an adult, you can get married, run for mayor, perhaps start a business, have children and other such things that only adults can do.

.: Familiars :.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Common Famliars

1. Rabbit: Some may question what a rabbit would be good for. These rabbits are extremely smart and can tell which plants are poisonous or good to eat. They are also gentle creatures that will lend their large ears if you need someone to talk to. They are very loyal as well.

2. Bird: A pet bird can give an extra set of eyes to a Du'Ragon master. They have keen hearing and sight so can spot or hear danger early on and warn thier master with a sharp shrill. They are not very loyal so need fed and cared for constantly to maintain the partnership. They can also help attack enemies with their sharp claws and beak.

3. Kitty: The common kitty is a ragamuffin indeed. Scruffy, unkempt and wild, they are everything a stray cat is.. including street smart. A common kitty knows his way around most areas and can lead their master around even in the dark due to their excellent eyesight. They are not very trusting due to their years spent on the streets, away from Du'Ragon company.

4. Elegant Kitty: The elegant kitty has been pampered and trained all her/his life. They hate being dirty and expect to be treated like royalty. They love owners that are confidant and assured, not to mention wealthy and 'worthy' of them. When they find an owner they like, they are truly loyal and will work with them when it comes to searching, hunting, or in some cases, attacking.

5. Dog: A Du'Ragon's best friend. A Dog will play with you, love you, never question you and adore you forever. He or She will hunt with you, fight with you and risk his/her life for you as well. The only problem is, they are very jealous so only like to be a Du'Ragon's only pet. They refuse to aid or become the pet of any Du'Ragon that also has a pet cat.

Rare Famliars

1. Dragon: A Dragon pet can breath elements. This includes the following: Fire, Ice & Smoke. They can fly but not as high or well as a bird. They can only attain a height of thirty feet and will not grow more than two or so feet. They are often trained since a hatchling so will maintain loyalty to an owner if treated well.

2. Wylderbeast: A Wylderbeast is a Du'Ragon created familiar. They are not very friendly at first and tend to work with a master more out of respect than loyalty. They have a unique ability of being able to change their size. They rang from 2 feet (their main size) in height to five feet. The latter allows them to be ridden by Du'Ragon.

3. Dinosaur: A Dinosaur pet is harder to maintain due to their large carnivorous appetites. They are instinctual hunters and excellent attackers. They can taken down an enemy easily enough with the use of their many sharp teeth. Despite their small size they can run as fast as a Du'Ragon so tend to be a good pet one that is constantly on the move.. or in trouble.

4. Ferret: Some may question why a ferret is in the rare pets and not the common. That's simply because ferrets ARE rare in the land of Du'Ragon. They are usually a sign of Du'Ragon nobility. The ferrets are excellent trackers, hunters and... thieves. They have no preference and will work with other animals/pets very well.
