(A2kers such as SFOT, Nasari and Alakin should recognise this Wink

)

It was a fine day on a spherical planet with no name. A whole Norn village was out enjoying the sun, until blackness started to engulf it. Slowly it got darker and colder, while the village Norns ran in a panic. They started collecting food and supplies, for what they didn't know.
Then as the sun became completely blocked, something fell out of the sky. A bright fireball, headed straight for the middle of the settlement. Looks of awe and staring soon turned to panic and confusion, until they came to the collective decision to run every which way but the village.

The Norns scattered...
The fireball hit...
There was an almighty crash...
...and nothing happened.
The Norns fearfully crept back into their village expecting broken houses, and at least one thing to be on fire. But there was nothing there. A Magma mother and her Civet Norn partner were the first to reach the centre of the dwellings, where a small sphere was still glowing white hot. As they watched, the white glow grew smaller to reveal a baby Magma Norn. After determining that the baby was just that, a baby, they adopted her.
She was named Sunspot.

While all this was going on, on the other side of the planet, a black comet was making its way down. The darker twin of the fireball. It hit in a small woodland, attracting a group of Moon Light Norns. It was a baby of their kind, but when it looked at them it had fire in its eyes. Dark fire.
She was named Pitch.

20 years later when Sunspot and Pitch have just recently become adults is when this RP starts.
The Guardian Phoenix has left the skies from which it used to protect the planet, and as a result strange things are happening. Seasons change wildly, and once peaceful animals have become raging beasts... Wild magic runs unchecked and rampant, changing things and usually for the worst.

To make things worse, members of each village have begun to turn on them. Blaming them for their protectors disappearance, as it was about the same time the twin meteors struck.

Both Sunspots and Pitchs homes have become dangerous, and they must find somewhere safe to live, or find out what has happened to the Phoenix that once protected their planet.

You may have magical powers, though try not to have too much to avoid unnecessary and unwanted powerplaying. Give descriptions, but bear in mind your magic may go haywire and join the Wild Magic now rampaging about the planet. Only inherently magical creatures (such as dragons) magic will work properly, as well as Pitch and Sunspots.

You may be any C3/DS Norn, Ettin, Grendel or even an original character (if you can figure out how to get them there). However you may not be a Shee or Banshee. And you may also be any magical creature you wish, but if it is not obvious what sort of creature it is you need to post a description. I will be playing Pitch, whoever would like to can play Sunspot, and feel free to start without me. However for Sunspots inherent Magical powers you'll have to PM me.

Profiles should go like this:

Name:
Age:
Species:
Breed (if Norn/Ettin/Grendel):
Gender:
Weapons:
Magic:
Looks:

E.g. for Sunspot and Pitch:

Name: Sunspot (played by Leporidae)
Age: 20
Species: Norn
Breed: Magma
Gender: Female
Weapons: Crimson Sword (a short sword which, when charged, can send out a crimson blast of flame. But the more powerful the charge, the longer it takes to charge up)
Magic: Healing Touch (does what it says, but she cannot use it on herself. It also drains a lot of energy)
Looks: Like a normal female Magma. Though her eyes are a soft sapphire colour, and in the dark her fur seems to glow.

Name: Pitch (played by Swix)
Age: 20
Species: Norn
Breed: Moon Light
Gender: Female
Weapons: Midnight Sword (a short sword which, when charged, will send out a blast of dark flame. The flames from this sword do not burn with heat but burn with cold. And the more powerful the charge, the longer it takes to charge up)
Magic: Death Touch (does what it says, and used rarely. She needs a LOT of time to recover from using this)
Looks: Like a normal female Moon Light. Though her eyes glow with the black fire inside, and her fur never shines or glints in even the brightest sunlight.

((Ah, good, you picked up Sunspot. Guess I'll start))

Pitch surveyed the little traveling group that assembled behind her. Mostly Moon Light Norns, Ettins and a scattering of Grendels formed lines behind four ox-drawn wagons loaded with supplies. Even a few magical creatures had decided it was time to leave.
About two thirds of the village had decided to stay behind, and they gathered behind the wagon train. Either saying goodbye to loved ones, or to hurl insults.
"Good riddance, Dark Flame Demon!"
Someone shouted at Pitch.
"May the Great Phoenix have mercy on us for taking you in!"
"We should've known you were a bad omen!"
Pitch's eyes narrowed, the fire within blazed.
"Why didn't you just get rid of me then? I'm GLAD I'm leaving!"
She called angrily, then turned away. Her adopted mother, a Moon Light like her, ran up from the side and caught her in a bear hug.
"Mom! Mom! Lemme go, I'm not a baby anymore!" Pitch said, struggling out of her mothers vice-like grip."There wouldn't be any need for this if you came with us"
This was Pitch's special way of pleading. Her 'mom' sighed.
"I'd love to dear, but your father..."
"I know. Dad's too ill"
Pitch stated, as her mother removed a silver necklace and then placed it around Pitch's shoulders.
"This was given to me by my mother. It has our family crest on it. Keep it with you as you travel"
The silver necklace had a simple, solid silver crescent moon on it. Pitch took a deep breath, she wasn't good at goodbyes.
"Farewell, mother"
Was all she could come out with as she started walking away from the only home she'd ever known. The wagon train following behind her.

As the days go by in the small village, more and more villagers are getting roudy. Gangs are getting built and more merciful lives are taken day by day. It was becoming a civil war, and Sunspot can't stand to be fighting along side her people against her own people. It was decided, she was going to leave for good until the fighting stops. Indeed, it was a hard path to choose, but it had to be done.

Sunspot was packing up for the long journey ahead of her . . . when her adopted father walked in . . . looking not very happy at all. Sunspot watched her father walk in ". . . Dad?"

"What?" Said the grumpy Civet norn.

"I'm going to move."

"WHAT!" Sunspot's father repeated himself. "Why?"

Sunspot looked sadly at her father. "It's getting rough out here. Norns right and left are having to steal and fight others for their own protection. I . . . I just can't stay here much longer. I would help however I can but . . ." A long silence diffted across the room, then shatterd as she continued. "But there are too many problems going around . . . I just can't solve them by myself."

Sunspot's father stayed silent. So she continued to speak "Would you like to come along,
father? And would mom like to come with me too?"

The Civet norn frowned at first, sadly. Only then to sob out of control a few seconds later. Her eyes glitterd with symphony and confusion. "What's troubling you? Was it something I said?"

Her father shook his head, not wanting to say anything.

Sunspot continued "Well, would you still like to come along anyway?"

The Civet norn walked out to the front door and looked up at the sky, backside turned to his own daughter. He turns around suddenly to face her to speak. "Can't."

"Why? You and mother might get killed!" Sunspot started to get awfully worried.

Her father turned to face Sunspot again and looked at her in the eye. "My father and many others built this town from hand. They built it with love, unaware of the mess we're in now. As the children of the founders, we are bounded to this place and we forbid ourselfs to leave." There was a slight akwardness in the air before he continued. "So I'm afraid I can't come."

Sunspot was rather confused by it all, asking a queston. "But then why am I not binded to this town of ours? I am as much as a child of this place as you are."

Her father stood silent again. He nor his wife had the heart to tell her that she was adopted, and possibly even a curse. Sunspot gave her father a hug, a tear making it's way out of her eye "Goodbye."

Sunspot finishes packing a bag full of food and supplies. Slinging it over her shoulders, she walks out of the house and silently makes her way outside of the border of the town . . .

Name: Kori'eril-nas ('Angel of the Winter' in her language)
Age: 18 in dragon years (52 normal years)
Species: Ice dragon
Gender: Female
Weapons: A blade attaches to one of her three tails, made of solid ice that never melts.
Magic: Arctic Fury, a blizzard out of her mouth; Permafrost, freezes the ground within a six foot radius of her, along with anything or anyone in the way, for three posts.
Looks: Each wing is 1 1/2 times as wide as her body is long. She has three prehensile tails carried over her back like a scorpion's. She walks on all fours.
Other: Kori is the first female warrior among her species for twenty thousand years (yes, the species is that old), and she is looked down upon by the Grand Council of Elders because of that. They think the female's place is in the home, not the battlefield. The common belief is that females were weak, frail things that could not protect themselves, so Kori decided to prove that theory wrong. She disguised herself as a male and attended the most prestigious military academy in the Ice Dragon Territories, and passed with flying colors. Males are smitten with her and females are jealous of her.

~~~~~~~

Kori walked down the main path in her village, receiving many lovestruck grins and jealous glares. She suddenly felt a pinch on her flank, and turned to see a male dragon running away from her, holding one of her scales. She gave chase, easily caught him, and really gave him the what-for.

"I thought I told you, Pakur... NO FREAKIN' SOUVENIRS!" she yelled to a bloody, bruised Pakur.

"*Whimper* Y-yes ma'am..."

Kori continued on her way towards the lake. It was very hot that day for her kind.

((Yep, I remember Snowpearl SFOT))

Pitch walks down a road, away from the village. Stood next to the side of a white cart, in what was currently bright sunlight her fur seems to suck it in. Pitch was always dark as dark, no matter what.

The Moon Light Norn looked up at the sky and frowned, as it suddenly went from summer to winter in the space of a few seconds, and started snowing. It had gotten worse in the past couple of years than it had ever been before.

If she remembered correctly, they were to stop at a dragon dominated settlement before they moved on again, into the unknown.

Snowpearl stretchd her wings slightly as snow gently began to fall.It was what her body needed,after the heat from the sun.

She had the swimming pool to herself.Male and female ice dragons alike had climbed out when she approched.Nobody liked an angery snow dragon,particuly when she was in her element.

"Kori!Come on,the waters nice and frozen."

More glares were directed at Kori.The snow dragon treated her like some sort of sister,yet would knock out other dragon's teeth when they bugged her.A few people muttered curses at the snow dragons,particuly a large magma dragon called Blaze.
______________________
Name: Blaze
Age: 20 in dragon years,around 60 in norn years.
Species: Dragon
Breed: Magma dragon
Gender: Male
Weapons: His claws,teeth,long tail and the two horns stuck on his head.
Magic: Leetch ((When the spell leetch has been aimed at somebody,Blaze can drain them of their energy and strength.It only works on other dragons,however,and it only lasts for two hours.))
Looks:A large Red dragon with a cream underside.He has golden claws/iruses,and his horns are black.The spikes running down his back and the two slightly transparant wings on his back are blood red.
Extra:Blaze is the last magma dragon,as wild magic has killed nearly everybody he knew.He wants a wife and would use leetch on her if it meant he got her,and he wants a ice dragon or snowpearl,or if he's feeling particuly strong,both.He has a twisted and evil mind and does whatever he likes,even if it meant killing somebody.

Sunspot was starting to feel a tad lazy right about now. A mile from her home town is quite a long distance. Walking even farther, she hunts for a good camping spot. A lake seemed like a good spot to hang out for now. Creeping closer to the lake, she was about to take a drink when the lake suddenly froze. "Eh? Must of walked through fall." Still sleepy. she laid down for a few seconds and slipped off to soothing slumber . . .

Saisei had been flying over the land in his winged bengal norn form, when he spotted a lake, tired, he decided to rest near it. Floating down, he aimed for the lake's surface, just as it froze. He crashed into it noisily, sliding towards the lake side on his back.

Pitch stopped and stared at the village in front of her. Ice dragons and magma dragons were everywhere. She'd never seen so many in one place, never mind of different types.
Her thoughts were stopped however, from the driver now behind her yelling.

"MOVE IT! You want to get trampled? Not that we'd miss you, we just don't want stains on the carts!"

The Moon Light Norns hand gripped the hilt of her sword in anger, even as she stepped aside. 'Breathe Pitch, breathe. He's not worth your time or effort she thought as she watched them pass her by, the dark flame in her eyes leaping about.

Once the wagon train and stream of Moon Light Villagers, complaining that they shouldn't be out in daytime at all, had half finished moving forwards Pitch rejoined them. Anyone who even dared look at her the wrong way got a mean looking glare from her.

They headed towards the tavern, for food and lodgings until they were ready to leave again. Pitch however, noticied something of a commotion going on near a swimming pool, As the Moon Light approached, she soon realised it was more of a glaring contest. Pitch walked over to the two dragons, drawing curious stares from dragons already crowded around

"I see you get similar reactions as I do from others"

Pitch remarked to them, and awaited a response

Somefreakoverthere · Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 2:11 am Post subject:

Snowpearl climb out the pool and stared at the norn as people back off slightly to give her room. Nobody liked it when the snow dragon got angery, especialy whoever was closest to her.

"Being the last snow dragon never helps. This lot only hate me because I whacked some priest bloke who tried to nick one of my scales. "

She turned her head and snarled at one of the males who was staring lovestruck at her. He nacked off,and she focused on the norn who'd talked to her.

"Don't touch me, this lot would make life even worse then it is already. Understood?"

Snowpearl told the moonlight norn. Something about her was slightly freaking her out...

Swix · Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 7:34 pm Post subject:

Pitch waved a dismissive hand in the air, as though she could wipe all the other dragons out of the air just by motioning and grinned slightly.

"Priests? Bah, what a waste of time and effort"

She slides a sidelong glance at the snow dragon, the dark fire in her eyes appeared to grow more prominent as she did so.

"Touch you? Oh no, neither you nor I want that..."

Pitch said, deliberately leaving the question hanging in the air.
