While given many names, they would ultimately come to be known as the Dragon Shifters. These creatures were fearsome in strength and nature, possessing the capability to take on both human as well as dragon likenesses and wield cataclysmic powers on par with that of natural disasters. A single warrior of their species could lay waste to an army of militarized humans in moments. Modern weapons proved to be nothing more than minor annoyances. Powerful, resilient, and almost impossible to defeat, the Dragons became an overwhelming force to be reckoned with, bringing with them the dawn of an apocalypse. For many years, Humans struggled to resist the oppressive advances of the Dragon Shifters, uniting across all nations to throw everything humanity had at the threat that bared down on their species. Militias world wide cooperated for the first time in human history in an effort to fight back. Advanced war machines and weapons of destruction like none ever seen before were constructed. Soldiers from all classes and creeds gathered under a single flag. The largest war effort imaginable began. Most called it world war three. But sadly, to the Dragons, these efforts were futile at best and proved to be little more than a nuisance. Humans were seen as pests. It was as if they were nothing more than insects who had taken over the house while the owners were away. With each confrontation between humans and Dragons, swaths of society were wiped from existence. Soon, finding themselves outnumbered, outgunned, and pushed into a corner, the humans finally lost the fight. Leaders fell, armies became disorganized, and civilization as a whole crumbled beneath the might of the earths new dominant lifeform. Surviving humans were scattered. The majority of them having been exterminated, the sparse remnants of mankind fled into hiding deep underground, back into the caves from in which their ancestors evolved. The majority of mankind however, having been captured, were forced into slavery. With the reclamation of the planet, and a new species on the top of the food chain, the restructuring of civilization in the likeness of Dragons would begin on the backs of humans. With the passing of the next millennium, Dragon Shifter kind populated the world and society was rebuilt. Kingdoms formed. Magic flourished. The seeds of technology were planted. Human slaves are commonplace, found in most any dwelling, palace, or establishment. Domesticated, farmed, bought, and sold, humans are a nothing more than a commodity to Dragons. They beckon to their will and live in service to their every whim. Wild humans who know freedom have been reduced to a myth. The dragon shifters believed they would rule forever. They assumed mankind would never fight back. They scoffed at the idea of the humans regaining any hope or taking back their world or their freedom. However, there was a prophecy among surviving creeds of humans. One long forgotten to many of them. One day, a hero would emerge, with a power that could defeat the dragon shifters and free their world from the dragons tyranny.

[b]Year 2283[/b] - Invasion of the Dragon shifters. [b]Year 2319[/b] - Fall of the humans/mass extinction event. [b]Year 2322[/b] - The demolition of man's civilization and the restructuring of society. [b]Year 2330[/b] - Dragon king enacts the human slavery treaty. [b]Year 2387[/b] - Human breeding, domestication and agriculture becomes more commercialized. [b]Year 2401[/b] - Coalition of humans is formed in secrecy. [b]Year 2456[/b] - Dragon shifter civilization has completely overtaken the earth. [b]Year 2477[/b] - Human slavery and use of humans slaves for labor, service, as pets and for entertainment has become common place. [b]Year 2514[/b] - A new dragon king and queen takes the throne. [b]Year 2563[/b] - Hybrid offspring between Dragon shifters and humans classified as taboo and outlawed globally, considered unethical among shifter kind due to the unpredictable genetic compatibility between humans and shifters which consistently have unforeseen and often horrific results in surviving offspring. [b]Year 2650[/b] - The first earthly civil war between Dragon shifters breaks out across the western hemisphere. [b]Year 2673[/b] - The Coalition of Humans grows and populates underground cities made from the ruins of pre-Dragon shifter civilizations. [b]Year 2687[/b] - A fallen Dragon shifter warship is raided by human with the coalition under cover of night unbeknownst to Dragon shifter kind. [b]Year 2765[/b] - The hundred year civil war among Dragon shifters comes to a close. [b]Year 2800[/b] - After many years of peaceful yet shaky negotiations, a treaty is reached and the lands of earth are divided among Three dragon kingdoms. Kingdom of the Northern, Southern, and Eastern regions of the world, each with their respective hierarchies and ruling/governing systems. Due to the war, the western regions have become war torn wastelands populated by splinter tribes of Dragon shifters as well as many species of war beasts who have since bred and become feral. Deep underground, burred beneath hundreds of feet of ruins, rubble, and soil are the biggest colonies of feral/coalition humans. [b]Year 2958[/b] - Development of civilization and technology progresses world wide. Due to available resources, Dragon shifters have begun trade negotiations and agreements. [b]Year 2999[/b] - A human seer foretells the prophesy for the heroes bloodline before violently passing away with the ending of the year. [b]Year 3000[/b] - The great festival known to all as the Day of Eons is celebrated by Dragon shifter kind across the world. [b]Year 3011[/b] - Human agriculture within Dragon shifter in many regions of society is refined. Many humans are bred to have specific traits fitting of their role in shifter society. [b]Year 3082[/b] - Lands among western regions of the world have been overtaken by nature, having evolved and adapted to the destruction left by the war. Massive lush rain forests with canopies towering as high as sky scrapers. Deserts and savannas that stretch for miles. Gargantuan mountains and earthly formations that seem alien. Ancient and abandoned Dragon shifter cities which have begun to crumble. Scattered Dragon shifter tribes who have developmentally slowed and regressed as far as shifter civilization is concerned, falling into primordial and tribal habits. Meanwhile, far underground, the remnants of mankind, now known as proto-humans, have expanded their underground cities and have grown significantly in population. Integration of reverse engineered dragon shifter technology and magics have become common place. Proto-Human society exists in three main classes. The administrative caste, the military caste, and the civilian caste. Many religious groups have formed with followings centered around the concepts of old gods, the prophesies of man, and the threat of the surface/fear of Dragon shifter kind. Excavation has allowed for discovery and colonization of massive sprawling prehistoric underground caverns, springs, and groves populated with many thought to be extinct species of flora and fauna. While proto-humans generally fall under one governing power, due to the immense size of their underground civilization and the abundant amount of space within the cave systems, there are outcast and rebel communities who live more anarchic lives. [b]Year 3191[/b] - The first expedition to map and eventually retake the west is planned by the Northern kingdom. Delegations and negotiations begin as the expeditionary force attempts to gain permissions from the other kingdoms. [b]Year 3207[/b] - Proto-Human kind begin plans to organize a covert excavation expedition to the surface. These decisions create a divide in human society, and a splinter community is formed on the morals of the Anti-Surface Religion. [b]Year 3210[/b] - After several heated and often violent conflicts, the Anti-Surface Religion and the majority of its followers/allies take their leave of capitol western cities and migrate deeper into the sprawling underground caverns to form their own societies, some even going as far as to block themselves off. [b]Year 3220s/3230s[/b] - Three infants are born with heroic human blood. [b]Year 3250/Current Day[/b] - Human Coalition/Dragon Shifter Expeditions are approved and are being organized simultaneously and unbeknownst to each other.[/hider][/center] [center][img]http://www.dreamtemplate.com/dreamcodes/divider/images/tsc_divider5.png[/img][/center] [u][color=f7941d][center][h3]Dragon Genus/Classifications[/h3][/center][/color][/u] Use this as a guide more than a rule book.

[center][h3][u][color=f7941d][b]Species Types[/b][/color][/u][/h3][/center] [u]Dragon Shifter[/u] - The dominant and most abundant species on the planet. Dragon Shifters posses the ability to transition freely between humanoid and dragonoid forms. [u]Human[/u] - Once the primary and ruling life-form on earth, Humans have remained mostly unchanged through the millennium. Their numbers vastly reduced and controlled by Dragon Shifter Kind. They now play the role of the subservient caste, serving as nothing more than tools of convenience and servitude to the Dragon Shifter Species. [u]Neo-Human[/u] - Humans Bred during the post Aeon Age with refined traits the better suit their individual uses within Dragon Shifter society such as enhanced strength and endurance for labor focused humans, more intuitive cognitive functions and response times for service industry humans, and aesthetic mutations such as unconventionally colored hair, eyes, and skin or the genetic integration of animal like features such as tails, ears, or wings for companion humans. [u]Proto-Human[/u] - Humans descendant from those who escaped the clutches of Dragon Shifter rule, retreating to massive underground ruins and caverns where they have survived throughout the millennium, slowly rebuilding and repopulating. Many proto-humans have mechanical or runic augments throughout their bodies to supplement any defects or health issues developed though lack of exposure to sunlight and a hostile environmental conditions. Proto-human society has learned to use a mismatched collection of salvaged technology, ancient and new magics, steam power, and primal human techniques to adapt and advance themselves covertly and completely without knowledge of Dragon Shifter kind, proving to be little more than any other myth like those of Atlantis. [u]Hybrid[/u] - In spite of highly taboo and illegal it is, there are rare instances of Dragon Shifters taking human mates. The product of these relations are known as Hybrids. Many Hybrids don't survive birth, the delivery of some even being fatal. However there are few that do survive having unpredictable ranges of abilities and often having varied amounts of both humanoid and dragonoid features ranging from something as little as a set of horns or scales to cases as extreme as being mostly draganoid or even having the ability to shift between the two. [u]Golem[/u] - Any autonomous constructs forged, assembled, or molded through magical or mechanical means. Found in both man made and shifter made varieties, as well as coming in many different shapes and sizes. A Golem's level of sentience comes in just as many varieties and range from mindless completion of simple tasks to complex levels of thought, emotion, and expression. [hider=Species Sub-Types] [u]Tribal Dragon Shifter[/u] - The descendants of Dragon shifter armies abandoned in the west at the end of the First Great Dragon War. Split into tribes or living as hermits among the wild and unkempt western lands where they have forsaken the long ruined technologies of their ancestors and instead live by their instincts. [u]Royal Dragon Shifter[/u] - Those of the royal caste within the Dragon Shifter Species. Often having brilliant features that allow them to stand out from their brethren. Royals even those in their youth, are considered Alphas among their species and are often more powerful than any other caste including warrior breeds. [u]Neo-Human Alpha/Beta/Delta/Gamma/Omega[/u] - Each caste of Neo-Human is bred, born and raised for a specific purpose. The Alpha caste are bred for hard and menial labor. They tend to have ample physiques enhanced strength high tolerances to environmental conditions and high endurance. To counteract this, they are bred to be more compliant and submissive toward their superiors. The Beta caste act as direct and personal servants to the Dragon Shifters, handling personal tasks such as hygienic maintenance, custodial needs, and convenience. Thus they are bred to be quick thinkers and multitasking savants, countered by loyalty and an innate fear of the unknown making them exceptionally skittish when not in a familiar setting. Delta caste are bred to be cooks and chefs, meaning they have insane dexterity and nimbleness when handling tools such as knives, cleavers, utensils, and appliances. They also have heightened senses of taste and smell, allowing them to determine things such as the moment a dish is cooked to completion or an ingredient expires. Neo-Humans of the Gamma Caste have exceptionally higher brain functions and problem solving capabilities allowing them to serve as living information hubs and allowing them to assist with and conduct complex activities involving things such as the development, organization, and distribution of information and technology throughout the more advanced sects of Dragon Shifter civilization. Finally, Omega Neo-Human who come in many varieties and have many physical features all geared toward being aesthetically pleasing in one way or another to those of the Dragon Shifter Species. This caste serves as companions as well as in mediums as forms of entertainment. They are seen to many of Shifter kind as toys or as pets and are regarded much differently from household to household. Some are treated with nothing but affection and doted on, perhaps taught to do tricks, dance or perform, even fight each other, all at the behest of their Shifter masters. [u]Feral Human/Neo-Human[/u] - In many of the more urban cities in Shifter Civilization are Humans who have either been abandoned or gone astray. They live mostly as vagabonds and vagrants in the less frequented areas within the cities and towns, some even dwelling in sewers or deserted buildings. They are considered little more than a nuisance and in some cases an infestation to be dealt with as such. [u]Runic Golem[/u] - Autonomous constructs given life through magic. These golems are often formed from the basic elements of nature and held together with spells and runes. [u]Mechanical Golem[/u] - Autonomous constructs given life through technology and machinery. Having complex inner workings, often made of metals and powered with electricity, fusion energy, or steam. [u]Bio-engineered Golem[/u] - Autonomous constructs given life using organic and/or living base components fused with either magic or machinery to form a final organism.[/hider] [center][img]http://www.dreamtemplate.com/dreamcodes/divider/images/tsc_divider5.png[/img][/center] [center][u][color=f7941d][b][h3]Spectrum of Ability Classifications[/h3][/b][/color][/u][/center] You may have up to four abilities.

There are a lot of liberties you can take with your character creatively and as long as they fit in the world, they are allowed. 3 - The limits of your character are up to you. Strengths and powers range anything from a human with no powers to a demi-god level dragon capable of destroying cities. The majority of everyone will be somewhere in the middle. 4 - Having the most power possible is not vital to every character, and even a human wielding nothing but a sword is capable of greatness. A battle can be fought and won with clever planning just as easily. 5- Combat is never going to be "I have more strength, power, and intelligence therefor I win." Get a feel for each battle and be respectful of opponents, even if someone's character seems inherently weaker than yours. 6 - You are encouraged to ask for help if it's needed and ask questions if you have any! We all want to have a good time and craft and fun and entertaining story for everyone to participate in and enjoy. 7 - Public Character sheets posted in the CS section must start with a minimum of a Name or nickname, an image or description, and a brief overview of your characters personality and information. After receiving approval from a GM(and the roleplay has started), you are free to being posting in the IC. Once you are officially a member of the roleplay, you may update your character sheet as you wish as long as it does not deviate from the declassified version you sent to the GM's.
