In Spring of 2019 a flight of dragons arrived in the region of the Mojave National Preserve. Most of the world is still oblivious to what happened and exactly where the dragons came from. The military is struggling to put a lid on the matter, but it is rapidly getting out of hand for these dragons are proving to be rather elusive. Worse, what accompanied the dragons seems to be even worse - and quite possibly in pursuit of them - and is blatantly hostile to any attempts to intervene.
The dragons appear to be fledglings ranging in size from pony sized to as large as a stallion. The largest of them is strong enough to snatch a full grown man off the ground - not that they have. If anything the dragons have been avoiding people. They are clearly not the armor plated variety as some of them have been obviously injured. Neither do they seem to breathe fire. However, they can most definitely teleport - a fact that has made their capture impossible so far.
***Note: Though it is not initially known at the start of the RP, the dragons are sapient. I will have specific names and personalities for them.
The hunters are a mix of races, armed with archaic weaponry. War trolls, demons, wyverns, and some other races are present on a small fleet of what resemble pirate vessels able to sail through the air. One might think that this would be much of a threat against modern military airpower. But they have already dispatched a dozen modern fighter jets and attack helicopters with contemptuous ease..
There are two schools of thought regarding the dragons. One: the dragons are an invasive species. They have to be bagged and tagged. Two: they are an endangered species. They must be captured and released into a preserve.
Regarding the Hunters. They are clearly hostile. Parley is to be considered, but not at any risk to civilian lives. And thus far the hunters do not seem interested in talking and have no qualms about killing civilians or taking hostages.
I will be editing this as facts regarding the dragons come to light, including a list of the dragon names and descriptions, as well as their psychology.
Characters
Scientist - a variety of possibilities exist here, but bear in mind how the dragons will be viewed. They haven’t harmed any humans yet. But they are clearly predators. So the government won’t be looking to kill on sight. Instead they will avail themselves of specialists in the appropriate fields.
Military - the dragons arrived by way of an incursion across dimensions. This is, of course, classified. The dragons are beasts, but so far harmless. Assist local officials to contain. If assigned to hunt the Hunters, well they have already proven hostile. The goal is to contain, interrogate, and likely deport. If they resist, lethal force is authorized.
Police - Keep civilians clear. Let the professionals do their job. Serve and Protect.
Civilians - also possible. Keeping longevity of the characters in mind, avoid children. Too hard for them to keep up with dragons. Perhaps teenagers with access to a car?
News Media - This could range from a teenager wanting to get a good Youtube video to some action news star wannabe to just about anything else that fits. Heck, a bird watcher or fantasy author might work.
