Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rules.
1. These dragons are all critical to the metaplot, so don't enter if you don't plan on RPing them. The ghost and the ghost speaker must complete at least one RP with Guardian Ghost Kailani'e and one RP with Tayma. (Both RPs may be combined, but no guarantees.) Failure to complete these RPs in a timely manner will result in the dragons being rehomed. Once these RPs are completed, you may RP or not RP them as you wish, but all Guardians are permanently RP required.
2. We're looking for quality, not quantity.
3. You may enter for the ghost speaker, the ghost, and the Guardian, but you may only win once. For the Guardian, you may submit up to three pre-existing dragons and one custom, minor edits only. Each entry requires a separate response to the prompt.
4. All of the dragons are free. Yes, even the Guardian.
5. More added as needed.

This RP contest starts now and ends May 1 at 10 pm PST.

The Ghost Speaker and the Ghost.
The plague years were rough for everyone, northern dragons included. One pack in particular was nearly wiped out entirely, for they had many ghost speakers . There were no survivors except for a brown female and an egg, her younger sister, that she never dared hatch the egg until much later. She never told the young hatchling that emerged the full story, or much about the outside world at all, even going so far as to let the youngster call her "grandma."

Username:Jaylynn Star
Dragon Name:Nostra
Link to cert: (if appropriate)
Links to RPs: (if appropriate)
Do they have any magic abilities?: He has the Dream sight.
Are they working towards any magic abilities?: (if yes, list)

Personality: Nostra is slightly manipulative but only when he fears what he has seen in someones future and wishes for it to change. He watches and listens more then he talks but when he does speak it's for a reason and not something silly like what the weather is like. He believe life is sacred and children come before all else since they are the future.

History: Nostra lived before the plague and saw glimpse of it from those around him but when he tried to tell the others they didn't believe him and told him he was being paranoid. Not wanting to fall victim to what he had seen he left, alone as none wanted to travel with him. He stayed seperated from the rest of the world for many years until such a time he had enough and needed to see others again even if it risked getting sick or dieing but by that time the plague had come and gone and all those he had knew was gone.

Response to Prompt:

Nostra simply sat and stared blankly into the night sky. He had taken the cowards way out and went into the hiding and now he was alone in the world because he hadn't convinced the others that something bad was coming. He should have stayed and tried harder to convince them what he saw was real and not just some flights of fancy of youth. He had been so young and had been brushed off time and again until fearing for his own safety he left, leaving them to their fate. Now he was told he was the new Guardian, yet he didn't feel like one. What type of Guardian does a thing like that.

Shaking his head, Nostra turned his attention to what was in front of him. Maybe he was a guardian to help change and prevent what has happened. To start anew and actually help instead of running, well Nostra was done running and more then ready to take on his new role. He would travel, find those that needed him, and this time make a difference that would help all of dragonkind and not just himself.

Description of Appearance: Nostra is mostly a blueish white with light greying around his eyes, mouth and feet. His mane is a darker grey and his beard is long reaching halfway down his body. His eyes are a cloudy blue.

Username: Silent~Wolf~Demon
Dragon Name: Azzurra
Link to cert: (if appropriate)
Links to RPs: (if appropriate)
Do they have any magic abilities?: (if yes, list)
Are they working towards any magic abilities?: (if yes, list)

Personality:
Azzurra is docile. She talks, but doesn't like to say anything more than what's on her mind. Some say she's too obedient too much of the time, really all it is is that she will only speak out against following instructions if she doesn't believe they have good intentions. Her clearity to sense when somethings wrong or listening to her gut feeling, has always helped her to stay out of the way of trouble. Most of the time that is. Sometimes, it'll lead her to trouble, because fate happens and she can't ignore it all the time and as well she believes in fate and destiny.
Strong willed, she won't give up on anything until her last life line has gone out. Azzurra may be quiet, but when others are afraid, she speaks out. She's not afraid to be different and shows courage where others would rather hide away and be cowardice.
Being one that works hard, she understands you can't get anything unless you try. Once you've accomplished your goal, it's 'practice makes perfect' from there. You have to continue on to make it better and reach new heights.
From the quiet side of her comes a side that is a fighter and one that is a healer. In battle she fights with ferocity and stands up for what she believes in, whether it's physical or mental. When a friend is attacked, she isn't afraid to stand by their side and defend them. The kinder side is warm hearted and will do anything to comfort another. Azzurra keeps an open-mind, no matter what the situation and tries to see from all points of view. She isn't a healer, as in she can mend and heal wounds. No. Azzurra is the type of healer that will try to do anything in her power to soothe the most horrorific nightmare, or mend a broken heart. She's a listener and knows that sometimes one only needs a friend to listen and stand by them.

History:
Azzurra felt the plauge coming, before she actually saw it. She tried to get others to believe that something horrible was lieing amidst just waiting to happen. No one believed her, and said she was crazy. Besides she was younger than most of them, being taken in as an orphan. Soon, only days before, they shunned her away. They didn't want to listen to her rantings and talk of lies anymore. Azzurra was hurt by their harsh words and turned her back on them. Running away, she hid among shadows for years and hadn't talked since then. Later on in life, she found being seperated from others like her, was the worst thing that could happen. One could go mad not seeing, talking, or hearing another. She had begun talking to the trees, rocks, and just about anything else she could find. When Azzurra went back looking for them, she found no one. Then remembered the ominous feeling she had that fateful day. It all returned to her. How could she have forgotten? Azzurra didn't want to be alone anymore and frantically started looking for another pack, or at least another loner like herself.

Response to Prompt:

The rumors had shocked her. The truth just hurt her. She was suppose to be a guardian? But how can she when she had caused so many deaths because she gave up?
Guardian? Some guardian I am, Azzurra thought lamely as she rested under the shade of a low hanging branch. Its leaves were gone, but at least it shielded her from the rain that sprinkled down lightly, covering her fur in little droplets. The air smelt cool, refreshing and crisp, it almost made her worries go away. But the burden weighed down heavy on her heart and shoulders. Have you ever heard 'it feels like the weight of the world'? Well she felt exactly like that.
She should've done more to save them! You could've said some mad raging beast was coming! Anything to get them away! Anything to save them! Azzurra covered her muzzle with one paw in disgust as her tail thumped the ground in frustration. She was angry with herself. She could've done more! She should've!
"You need to stop beating yourself up about this, it wasn't your fault! You didn't know better! You had no idea what was coming, you only felt something wrong," Azzurra hissed in low, hushed whispers as she talked to herself. "You've been given a chance to change things, so go do it! Stop pitying yourself," that was exactly what she would do. Or used to do. Wallow in sorrow and look back on the past. She didn't like what was there, and couldn't get it out of her mind. But you need to. Pick yourself up and face it. You can't change the past, but you can change the future. "Wow I really need to start listening to my own advice," she mumbled standing up and stretching. I know from here on, I will make a difference, she thought puffing out her chest and walking away with grace. Where she'd go, she didn't know. "Fate will lead me," Azzurra whispered as she disappeared out of sight, into a thin fog.

Description of Appearance:
She has a dark, smokey grey body with medium blue on her legs. The blue starts from her claws and runs up to about the middle of each leg and fades. Her horns are the same dark, smokey grey, and her mane the medium blue. Silver stripes, that resemble zebra type stripes, run along her body and tail, and few stripes can be found on each leg. The front part of her muzzle is silver, then fades as it reaches the grey. Her eyes are a light grey, almost white.

Dragon Name: Freyr Ívarr
Link to cert: [x]
Links to RPs: None yet.
Do they have any magic abilities?: He is an ice-bringer.
Are they working towards any magic abilities?: No.

Personality: Freyr is a bit of a nightmare to most around him. He doesn't have the same air that most creepy dragons would have, but he had a literal icy air about him. He doesn't usually talk with other dragons, though it's unknown if this is because he can't talk or just chooses not to. He's an ice-bringer, able to make the air around him become very cold, and can even form ice on the ground or in the air around him. Icicles even grow on his fur, in fact, which make a pleasant tinkling sound when he walks. He's made his territory in a small bunch of trees up in the mountains, and he's very protective of this area, though doesn't usually become very angry at any dragons who pass through it, and instead simply escorts them out of the area.

Freyr is rather shy when it comes to being around other dragons. Rather than being cold like the air around him, he's just never been accustomed to being around others. When he was younger, other young dragons avoided him, especially in the colder months, when it was, obviously, not comforting to be around someone who could turn the very ground to ice. Now, he just lives by himself, and is definitely accustomed to it. As of yet, he has no plans to be around many other dragons. At least, that's what he seemed to think. Also, he avoids eating meat unless whatever the animal has died a death that was natural; he sticks mainly to vegetation.

History: Actually, most of his history was just explained along with his personality. He was lost in a strong snowstorm as an egg that froze him inside the cave of his mother and father. His mother came back only a couple years later and completed the hatching spell. By this point, however, she was very old. She wasn't able to take care of him herself, so she left him to the care of a young couple and left to find a place to die.

The couple seemed to get along with him well enough, but they were rather put-out by how... uncomfortable he was when he was warm, it seemed. No less, being around him made their home cold and rather unpleasant. When the two had children of their own, he started wandering more and more often and further and further away, and one day he just didn't come back, establishing his own territory.

Response to Prompt: "Guardian, huh...?" Freyr laughed softly, a noise that held no humor in it, breath misting into the cold air that surrounded him. Some part of that he wasn't sure that he believed. Actually, he didn't really believe any of it. How could he be the next guardian? That was ridiculous. There was nothing... nothing that special about him, was there? The greatest talent that he had was scaring off or freezing any living thing that came near him. How was that even a talent?

Then again, maybe it did make sense? He'd lived on his own for such a long time... there was no way that he really had a preference between different dragons. Then again, now others would be coming to seek him out... A harsh bark of a laugh broke free of his mouth, and he raised off the ground, starting off on his nightly route, checking the trees and the animals for their unchanging daily lives.

So he was going to have to help all these poor, unfortunate dragons, was he? Perhaps he was more blessed than he though, though he'd never been partial to being sought out by anyone. This would force others to put up with that chill wind that he'd been born encased in. The icicles across his shaggy fur jingled in a pleasant manner as he went from tree-to-tree, re-marking certain places, but otherwise simply making sure that the area was calm as it always was, staying his distance from recently-hatched birds in a tree near his cave.

He shook his head and scoffed. A guardian, right? He couldn't even come near an infant without making it sick, how would he help so many others. He shook his thick mane, icy eyes
glaring at the floor of his freezing cave. Guardian. Hah. Yeah, right.

Username: Jaylynn Star
Dragon Name biggrin roga

Personality:
Droga is a kind and affectionate dragon. She hates killing anything even when it's so she can eat and only does so when she gets to the point her own body desperately needs meat.
Response to Prompt:

Droga was hurt and confused, Granmama wasn't being her usually self. There was no cuddles at night and instead of hunting for her like normal she was making her kill. She hated killing and Grandmama knew that so Droga couldn't figure out why she would make her do it.

Sighing sadly, Droga closed her eyes and shivered alone. Was she being punished since she didn't like to hunt and kill? To be left alone unless she was to be told how and what to hunt? Well Droga didn't like it and tears ran down her fur, not noticing her Grandmother watching her sadly unable to comfort her sister/granddaughter.
