Please note that this roleplay is CLOSED to newcomers. [u]Airengard[/u] [url=http://puu.sh/7y4FU.png]Airengard map.[/url] In the land of Airengard resides a school surrounded with mystery. Led by the ever beautiful Lucia. The story opens on the dawn of our characters' graduation. It has taken much time and effort to reach eligibility to become a member of the sacred clan of dragon hunters who now are thought of as little more than a police force. Dragons have long been gone, thought to have become extinct ages ago. Unknown to our characters, Lucia has been working feverishly to unearth the incantation that has been locked away by the original set of dragoons. The spell to unleash the fury of the draconian horde once more. She finally succeeded on the same day that we (the greenhorn dragoons) reach our newly instated status. The school is thrown into turmoil and our characters barely manage to escape with their lives in tact. In the confusion Lucia escapes on the back of the infamous dragon known as Rugarth the Dragonlord. The fresh class of heroes vow to bring her to justice. That's where you come in. While in school our characters have studied the age old abilities known only as Dragonartes. Below you will find the full list of current Artes. You will only be able to choose two, so choose wisely. In the following months after the attack, dragons have taken up residence in the various cities which will be further explained below. The residents of said cities are forced to give tribute to avoid perishing. [hider=Dragonartes]Skyfall – The user ascends into the air, and collapses on a target from a high distance. Leaves the user open to aerial attacks. Drakkenhide – The user toughens their skin increasing endurance towards elemental forces. It leaves the user weakened once the effect wanes. Sadistic Crown – The user enters a rage, sacrificing durability for attack velocity. Whisper Haste – The user gains mobility and grace enabling for an increased dodge rate.

Can not change directions while skywalking. Dragon's Wrath (credit: Card Captor) - Enveloping their weapon in energy, the user tosses it with great force. The energy encasing it adds to its penetrating power. Weapon has to be recovered afterward. Zephyr Dash (credit: community) - The user dashes with a burst a speed. Afterwards they are affected with a severe case of vertigo. [/hider] As you may notice each Dragonarte has a clear pro and con.
