Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to the fourth installment of The Phoenix Lair Factions!

I believe that all subfactions are available to all players in this faction, and I hope you all will participate! Remember - you can have up to eighteen characters at once! eek

Enjoy!

Every field is required unless otherwise stated. No 'N/A's, please.



Please BOLD all field titles upon sending in your profiles if you don't copy and paste. Thank you. ^_^

If you're still loyal, put a roll emoticon in the PM and label it 'Chicken Soup For the Soul'.

As always, please send all profiles to me! biggrin

And also, there will be a wild dragon herd - ones that cannot transform into a human shape, known as the Karrakast Clan. This clan was created hundreds of years ago from several dozens of dragon outcasts/traitors that managed to get away from their subfaction that banded together. It's grown since then, with their children and grandchildren that live together as a group with the first generation of outcasts. These dragons are unable to change into a human form, and their illusion-magic is very weak. As time has passed, they have developed their own government and council, and - though they cannot create an illusion or change shape - they are true dragons in all other respects.

The Karrakast Clan lives inside the Hollowed Reintaka Mountain Island, off the southwestern coast of the country.

If you wish to have dragon-characters, please fill out this profile skeleton:

THE KARRAKAST CLAN

Any wild dragons created will not count towards your character count, so feel free to make as many as you like, as long as you can keep them separate. ^_^

DESCRIPTIONS OF POSITIONS IN THE KARRAKAST CLAN:

King and Absolute Monarch: He rules that Karrakast Clan. Whether kindly or harshly, that is your decision.

Queen and Loyal Mate to the King: The mate to the king. Though a queen, she carries as much power as the king does.

The King's Loyal Right Claw Adviser: He or she advises the king on manners of the members of the clan and any laws that might come into affect. Though the king can take their words seriously, he may very well ignore them and do as he pleases.

The King's Loyal Left Claw Adviser: Same as above, except this adviser speaks to the king about manners of government and state.

Heir or Heiress to the Throne: The heirs to the throne of the king, of course. Can have a few, but no more than five. This will be scratched out if and when five heir(esses)s are created.

Claw of Attack: In charge of all manners violent and war-like, he deals with attack strategies and traps that may be laid all throughout the mountain. Is responsible for making sure young dragons are taught how to hunt and battle.

Assistant to the Claw of Attack: Helps the Claw with his work, of course.

Wing of Defense: In charge of all things defensive and protective. This dragon is in control of fortifying the inner castle and making sure young dragons are trained in the art of defensive maneuvering.

Assistant to the Wing of Defense: Helps the Wing with his duties, oh yes.

Eye of Sight: Is the King's eyes in the clan - this dragon informs the king when there are problems, whether it be quarrels in the square or a shortage of food. What else, that is for the player to decide.

Flame of the Hunt: The top hunter in the clan, this dragon leads a hunting party of seven well-trained dragons weekly to search for food. The hunters cannot be dragonlings (child-dragons). Dragonlings are any dragon under a thousand years of age.

Caretaker: The dragon that takes care of the younger dragons when their parents are busy. Is held with much respect, but watched carefully.

Member: A member of the clan without a true rank. There can be many, many of them.

If you wish to be a free-lance dragon, put a sunglasses emoticon in your PM and label it 'The Arms of Sorrow'.

If you are a traitor, put an exclamation point emoticon on the PM and label it 'False Pretense'.

Remember that the price of betraying your faction is death. So you had to get away some how, otherwise you would be dead. If something happened between your character and another player's character, make sure to talk to that roleplayer before you make it so. I want some sort of notice that both of you agreed on it.

Hope to hear from you all! :3

Username: Luminol Lights
Character Name: Inanna Terrlis
Age: 4635
Bio: When Inanna was a child, she was as sweet as pie. Studious, excitable, and willing to give anyone a smile and a hug, almost everyone in her clan adored her. It was a mystery then as to how she turned into a troubled, self-destructing girl. As a teenager, there was rarely a time when Inanna wasn’t in trouble. She was rude and mouthy, throwing insults away like candy. It was a rare moment when she wasn’t fighting someone or recovering from a fight. Her boyfriend would change every time she washed her hair. To count, she was almost labeled as a traitor twelve times. Each time she was either saved by a technicality, or by an act of sympathy for the child she used to be. It was on the twelfth time, the closest shave she had to being exiled yet, that she walked in on her mother crying. Up until that point, Inanna hadn’t really thought about her family. She’d only thought about her own rage and fun. Finally realizing how stupid she had been, Inanna set to changing her ways. She began to meditate, channeling her rage into positive energy. After a thousand years of reforming her behavior, she managed to overcome her old, rebellious stigmas and rise to a position of respect within the community. When the Rogue Vampires came to her clan to ask for someone to help them keep Arlen, a particularly rowdy member of theirs, under control, all eyes turned to Inanna. She took up the role without hesitation, and has been fighting to keep him in line ever since. All in all, she doesn’t do too horrible of a job.
Persona: Inanna is the epitome of calm and collected, never raising her voice or acting out in rage. Indeed, she’s so coolly stoic that she rarely speaks at all. After being so violent and selfish in her youth, Inanna now tries to do her best to act as a service to her community, and indeed to the world. Her biggest fault would probably be her intensely stubborn nature.
Weapons/Spells: Inanna dislikes fighting in her true form, having many bad memories associated with it. Instead, she fights with her grossly oversized and incredibly sharp scythe.
Mission in Life: To atone for the horrible things she did in the past, and to help out others who are like her.
Quirks: Inanna is a stickler for the rules, refusing to take any shortcuts if something is supposed to be done differently. Inanna also only takes on quests that are a help to the greater good, or for a deserving individual. The rewards don’t matter as much as the actions do.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: The Rogues as well as the Human Priests. In general, however, she tries not to judge.
Any She Hates? Why?: The Stone Headhunters in particular, though she isn’t fond of any of them, really. Existing only to kill makes them more monster than Faction in her eyes.
Dragon Appearance:
Pets: Arlen.
Theme Song: Roll Away Your Stone ~ Mumford and Sons
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"Stars, hide your fires. For these here are my desires, and I won’t give them up to you this time around."
Other: Inanna can conjure up an almost eerily calm voice when she wants to, and it is hard to listen to it without feelings soothed. It seems to work particularly well on Arlen.

Username: AliciaRaeann
Character Name: Kadyl Shei
Subfaction: Water Dragon
Age: 509
Bio: Kadyl has had a charmed life. Raised in a cocoon of adoration by her parents, she's been given everything and anything that she ever wanted except freedom. For years, she has been begging her parents to allow her to go on a pilgrimage around Tangere La Dueses, and she has finally gained their grudging permission. Kadyl is very curious and ignorant about the world above the lid of the sea, but is desperate to learn. Really, she is little more than a child, but her self-confidence is high and she is fairly powerful for a little girl.
Persona: Kadyl is gentle, but stubborn and inquisitive. She is also a little jumpy, more given to flight than to fight.
Weapons/Spells: She carries no weapons, but her water magic is extremely powerful. However, she prefers not to fight unless forced.
Mission in Life: To learn more about Tangere La Dueses, and to see the other races that live among her own.
Quirks: Kadyl has a tendency to "leak" when she is nervous or angry. Leaking is a water dragon habit that looks nearly the same as a human crying, and she is often humiliated by it.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: She seeks to understand anything that she doesn't know, which is basically everything. She doesn't know enough about the other factions to know if she would like them or not.
Any She Hates? Why?: A ditto to the question above.

Username: zfatal
Character Name: Nex Gelu-Ocula
Subfaction: Ice Dragon
Age: 6891
Bio: In the frigid Cordalisk Ice Plains, Nex spent--wasted--most of her early life, as the mate of a particularly well-to-do ice dragon. At a young age, she was seduced, with charm and infatuation, by the slightly older male, and the time they spent together was rather enjoyable. Albeit passionate, love it was not, as later Nex discovered. Eventually, she came to the realization that she was unable to bear eggs. This nearly tore her heart out--when her mate grew distant from her, because of this fact, tear out it did.

Soon Nex left the ice dragon, and left Cordalisk altogether. With life no longer having anything optimistic to offer her, she wandered, sometimes taking work as a mercenary. Not for the money--all she needed to survive, she could hunt--but for the experience. When life cannot possibly break you any farther, all that's left is to see what all is left. At times, Nex took other mates, of different subfactions. No relationship held the spark of her first, but each were most decidedly passionate in a similar way.

Although her personality did not faze most mates, who liked her for other reasons, their own faults usually pushed her away. Used to change because of this, Nex finds it habitual to move almost constantly. New things are the driving force in her life, now. New places, new adventures, new battles, and new mates. Nex would try almost anything once, but--now over sixty centuries old--she's seen most of what there is to select from.
Persona: Although all ice dragons are by reputation, "cold-natured," most are not actually cruel as they are quiet, refraining from passing their typically harsh judgments aloud. Nex was no exception to this.

A certain young male who managed to impress her won her infatuation--if not her love--as detailed in her biography. After leaving that first mate, certain aspects of her persona were changed forever.

Now she is far more harsh than before. That having been said, her expectations of anyone and anything are simply extremely low, so she can deal with quite an amount of disappointment and such. True to her race and faction, Nex is cold and distant to anything new--but as new is something--the only thing--she can look forward to, her opinions, or the real ones, are generally left unsaid. Even so, new eventually fades to old, be it food, locale, or mate. And so, Nex leaves.
Weapons/Spells: Aside from her teeth, claws, spikes, body weight, tail, and wings, any part of her body covered in ice or frost is capable of being consciously extended, retracted, sharpened, dulled, or barbed, resulting in an entirely painful up-close brawler. Her hide is immensely tough, yet smooth like glass (or more accurately, ice). There is not a temperature recorded that is low enough to harm her. Even in scorching heat, Nex can survive and thrive for long periods of time, due to the massively subzero temperature inside her body. That makes for an interesting mating period with a dragon of another subfaction.
Mission in Life: What life? All that life had to offer her, was to spit in her face and turn away. New experiences are the driving force in Nex's life. She refuses to abandon her life, but only suffers through what is both a boon and a curse. Unless fate is cruel (or perhaps merciful, for once), life is something that will be with her for a long time. Experience, though, is endless.
Quirks: Although only her first mate knows of it, Nex is incapable of laying eggs or of having offspring in any fashion or form. Sex is something she enjoys often, however.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: Nex will likely never be capable of "liking" anything, ever again.
Any She Hates? Why?: Nex hates no subfaction--only most of the members that she has met. She doesn't "hate" any of her ex-mates, however. Each holds his own level of resentment, for various and specific reasons.
Dragon Appearance:

Humanoid Appearance: Nex's humanoid appearance, is a large human-shaped body, except made of ice. Since ice is under her control (to an extent), she is capable of shifting her body mass, in this form, into the very air, as a gaseous extension of her aqueous, if solidified, self. This means that size is not an issue for Nex.
Theme Song: Drops of Jupiter | Train
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there"
Other: Morals. That is something that Nex has risen above. She takes no joy from being cruel to others--but wouldn't hesitate to inflict pain if the action held her own interests, as unique as they are, at heart.

Username: LovetoCauseMayhem
Character Name: Ragnarok Blazefierce
Parents: Unknown - he was the first leader of the Karrakast clan.
Age: He is over twenty thousand years old, and is over three hundred and fifty feet long. He is a giant among giants.
Bio: Ragnarok is already revered as the greatest ruler of the Karrakast clan, ruling with kindness and wisdom instead of an iron claw. Powerful and patient, he is skilled at both physical strength and magical prowess. The years haven't aged him at all - old age is impossible for a dragon of his blood and caliber. His daughter is seemingly capable of throwing up an illusion like the 'true' dragons. However this is not the case. She is in fact a true dragonic humanoid - a creature with the abilitiy to truly shift between human and dragon at will, without the use of magic or spells. Though 'outcast' his daughter may be, Ragnarok loves her dearly - her and her other siblings.
Persona: He is wise, patient, and soft-spoken. He loves his family to death, and is intensely loyal to them. He would lay down his life for his family in a heartbeat.
Mission in Life: To find a way to make his clan accept his daughter, and to be the best king he can be.
Rank or Occupation in the Clan: King and Absolute Monarch
Reason for Being in the Clan: After they decided to separate from the mainland, living in quiet solitude on the island, Ragnarok was named leader and king of the clan. He has not abused the power yet.
Quirks: His coloration is signature - never has anyone seen anything like it. He is known as the Silver King.
Any Factions or Subfactions He Likes? Why?: He knows more about the factions than any other of his clan, but he doesn't like to speak of them.
Any He Hates? Why?: He is too wise to hate.
Theme Song: Greensleeves ~ Beethoven
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
It is a instrumental guitar.
Other: He really does adore his daughter. But he worries about her twin.


Username: LovetoCauseMayhem
Character Name: Kyzika Sharpclaw
Parents: Her parents were 'normal' dragons, just as everyone else's were.
Age: She is younger than Ragnarok, but still very old. She is three hundred and thirty-five feet long.
Bio: Not one 'born' into royalty, she met Ragnarok when he was still an adolescent, and they immediately became best friends. Eventually, that friendship turned into something else, and when Rangarok asked her to be his mate after he was declared the Silver King of the Karrakast clan, it was not his new title that made her accept. In total, she bore five children - Rejindo, and two sets of twins.
Persona: Feisty and stubborn when threatened or arguing, she's very calm and kind normally, and cares deeply about the children of the clan. She can be as ruthless as Ragnarok - and at times even worse than he - especially when the children are threatened. Usually soft-spoken and humorous, she is compassionate and gentle to all her clansmen.
Mission in Life: To make a world where anyone - no matter what breed or race - could live peacefully without discrimination.
Rank or Occupation in the Clan: Queen and Loyal Mate to the King
How Your Character Got There: She is Ragnarok's mate. What reason does she have NOT to be there?
Quirks: Dragons rarely have more than two offspring in their entire lifetime. Kyzika has bore FIVE - four of those being twins. The feat is simply unheard of. Her eyes - a lovely gold - glow in all lights.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: She has only heard tales - not enough to make any sort of judgment.
Any She Hates? Why?: She doesn't hate based on rumors.
Theme Song: Come Down to Me ~ Saving Jane
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"Everybody wants your time - I'm just dreaming out loud, I can't have you for mine and I know it. I just wanna watch you shine."
Other: She worries about her two eldest sons. Ever since their sister left, they've never been the same.



Username: LovetoCauseMayhem
Character Name: Rejindo Sharpclaw Blazefierce
Parents: Ragnarok Blazefierce and Kyzika Sharpclaw
Age: 6072 years old, and one hundred and forty-three feet long.
Bio: Having received the best of both strength and intelligence, he is a powerful fighter when it comes to brute strength but also is cunning and observant. Though he is a bit of a prodigy, Rejindo, sadly, doesn't grasp magic all that well. Making something out of nothing is simply a concept he doesn't understand. He is first in line for the throne, and excels in mid-air and close-range combat. He is powerful, swift, fierce, but has a lovely sense of humor.
Persona: Born to powerful parents, Rejindo is that classic, lovable, well-intentioned protagonist. Though still a little young, he has a strong sense of justice that he gets from both parents, along with a unprecedented, almost gullible kindness. He is a friendly creature who loves talking to people and enjoys flying immensely. He's an inspiration to all young dragonlings in the clan, and they flock to him whenever they can. He is also a bit of a lady-killer, but - of course - not intentionally. Sadly enough, he's just the type of somewhat naive persona that's just asking to get his heart broken. Hopefully though, he'll wise up before that happens.
Mission in Life: To be the best fighter and ruler he could possibly be.
Rank or Occupation in the Clan: Heir to the Karrakast Throne
Reason for Being in the Clan: He was born into it, of course.
Quirks: He's got a lopsided, goofy grin that seemingly impossible to make using a mouth of dragonic origins. Yet somehow he manages it. He and Koratis were very, very close, and a part of him left when she did. He wasn't the same after her departure.
Any Factions or Subfactions He Likes? Why?: He doesn't really know any other factions or subfactions. All he knows are the stories told, and even then they don't tell much.
Any He Hates? Why?: He hates the dragons that can turn human. Why would such a stupid thing such as an illusion make those other creatures different or better than him and his family?
Theme Song: Disconnected ~ The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"And wilted roses make me cry - a sentimental sign of rejection."
Other: Though he seems as jovial and clever as he always is, he really just wants his sister back.



Username: LovetoCauseMayhem
Character Name: Kaulel Sharpclaw Blazefierce
Parents: Why, the king and queen, of course!
Age: He is 368 years old, and fifteen feet long. He and his sister are ants compared to their parents.
Bio: Kaulel may be the older of the two siblings, but he's also the smallest, born prematurely as dragon anatomy is not built for twins. Kyzika's stomach had ran out of room to grow and stretch to accommodate both siblings, and thus - to make room - Kaulel had been born first, smaller and older than his sister. Having been born after Koratis left, neither he nor his twin know her personally, but their older brothers and parents speak of her constantly.
Persona: He is playful, but a little more serious than his sister. He gets pushed around by her a lot, as he carries Ragnarok's easy-going temperament. Though he and his sister spend a lot of time together, he enjoys playing with Rejindo, and listening to his father's stories.
Mission in Life: He hopes to grow as big as his father one day, and he also wants to one day leave the island and finally meet his long-lost sister.
Rank or Occupation in the Clan: Heir to the Karrakast Throne
How Your Character Got There: He was born into it, of course.
Quirks: He's very thoughtful, like his father. He's highly intelligent, and is currently researching on the fact that his family doesn't have magic, yet their cousins do.
Any Factions or Subfactions He Likes? Why?: He doesn't have enough knowledge to like any of them.
Any He Hates? Why?: He's too young to know hate.
Theme Song: I Will Always Return ~ Bryan Adams
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"A silent sunset, a flame that still burns. To you, I will always return."
Other: He wants to find a way to cure his clan's magic-less existence.



Username: LovetoCauseMayhem
Character Name: Layla Sharpclaw Blazefierce
Parents: Pah - are you daft? The king and queen of course!
Age: She is 367 years old, and sixteen feet long. She is bigger and heavier than her brother.
Bio: Having been born after the full length of pregnancy, Layla is bigger and heavier than Kaulel, though she is younger. But she definitely possesses a short temper. She enjoys picking on Kaulel, who is much more passive than she, and their parents must constantly intervene to keep her from hurting Kaulel, seeing as how she doesn't know how to control her own strength yet. Despite that though, Kaulel and Layla are rather close, and Layla - when she can sit still long enough - enjoys listening to the stories of their father as well. She spends a majority of her time though with her mother instead of her father, and enjoys wrestling with Rejindo, as he can deal with it better.
Persona: She is feisty, loud, temperamental, and ferocious. She tends to bite off more than she can chew, and she's ridiculously overconfident. As a result, she tends to embarrass herself a lot. But she is fiercely determined when she sets her mind to something, and it's nearly impossible to change her mind. Most of the time she's a bit dimwitted when it comes to games of wit, but sometimes she's surprisingly clever.
Mission in Life: She aspires to be the best huntress in the clan.
Rank or Occupation in the Clan: Heiress to the Throne
How Your Character Got There: Born into it. How else?
Quirks: She has a growl that sounds more like a purr, and no one knows where she got her coloration from.
Any Factions or Subfactions She Likes? Why?: What are 'factions'?
Any She Hates? Why?: Huuuuuuuh?
Theme Song: So What ~ P!NK
Line of Song that Made You Choose That Song:
"And guess what? I'm having more fun, and now that we're done, I'm gonna show you tonight!"
Other: She always rolls her eyes when her family starts telling stories about Koratis. To her, if it doesn't significantly impact her daily life or her goals, it has no importance.
