Now that things have already been cleared up I'd like to share my idea because it kind of speaks contrary to your description of the bonding process in a way. When I saw the description of the Golden Dragon I immediately thought of having a stark contrast between the drake and the tamer. This idea came before I read about the bonding process of having the two showing complete empathy. Basically I want the two to be opposites, two sides of the same coin (or like an inverse color image, I'm still not ENTIRELY sure). Though the tamer wouldn't be dumb, s/he'd just prefer not to listen to his intellect as much as s/he could. The tamer would be brave, foolhardy and passionate where the drake would be cold, tactical and possibly condescending. I still stick to this idea even after reading about the bonding process because it honestly sounds like you're describing a more platonic version (Or not, I don't know your brain yet) of 'soul mates'. My personal belief is that friends see a lot alike with one another but the closest relationships one might have with another person is with someone very different from you yet connected to you still in some way. I don't usually jump into RPs and start throwing out philosophies on life or romance or anything like that but I like to share my thoughts on an idea that I like with anyone I'm going to work with.

lol let me just make one thing clear. Under NO circumstances would I push that the two have to be alike. And I don't think it says anything like that in the boding description either. Soulmates (to me) are two beings that complete each other. A second half to your highest energy of being. Methuzar and Yennifer are a perfect example Methuzar is a beast, the largest of the dragon species, so one would assume that he would want a big brute of a man. But no, instead he chooses the exact opposite because something in him needed that small, kind, dainty little doctor.

Furthermore, the dragon descriptions are a description of their specific species. Had I gone out of my way to describe each individual over the centuries I'd be writing till I die. Each dragon is its own being. They have different needs,thoughts, etc. So while, as a general rule, gold dragons as a species, have always honored and grave intelligence among other beings, especially humans, its not to say that this particular gold dragon didn't have its heart strings pulled by some other aspect of the tamer. This dragon, as a general rule, will always have a strong focus on Intelligence, its simply a part of being genetically coded with a higher level of thinking. But with that higher level of thinking come self realisation, perhaps the realisation that although the tamer he/she chooses isn't to par with him or her intellectually, he or she craves that tamer's traits.

Does that make sense to you? Soul mates doesn't mean psychological twins; its yin and yang, two things coming together to complete a higher level of being. In some cases, they are much alike and that's perfect because that's what each of them needed, in other cases they're completely different and that too is perfect.

Descriptions are guidelines to help you get an idea of how your dragon would act. Bonding is ALLLLLLL you lol.

Thank you for clearing that up then. I assumed the whole thing about them showing forced empathy meant they had to be pretty much in agreement to everything :P

Why would she need booze to unlock her dragon power? Lol she technically wouldn't, as they all have their mana instilled in them upon bonding. And Merrik made sure ALL the liquor was gone, including any in her personal stache, perhaps with the help of Felynne? Sparks can't be a drunk the whole time... Lol what is it that's going toget her out of her depressed downer state?

Stitches said Bonded move - Dragon Breath: Sparks can roar in a drunken fury so powerful, her fists erupt into flames. Fiery doom to all who attack her until she wears out and passes out in the end.

Drunken fury.

I should probably change that now that there is literally no booze anywhere. That, or my task should be to sneak out with Felynne and get some because, man, how are we going to get anything done without some serious Liquid Courage up in here?

THINGS TO DO: Get Sparks to meet other tamers. She really needs to do that. Now that she's not depressed anymore. Oh, and finish off my task post, then continue making lewd jokes at Merrick and completely disregarding his authority with witty banter.

[Ghirardelli]

Sorry, it was her nose ring....
How does she blow her nose and not get snot all over it?
Or is it how she starts conversations?
"Pardon me miss, but you have snot all over your nose ring"

Oh crap, hold on, now that I think about it..... it was rings in her bottom lip, not nose.....
How do ya eat with rings in your lip?, might chip a fron t tooth while chewing.

[Erranruin]

Gheradelli are you ok

[Ghirardelli]

Lol, I await word from my taskmates.

[Erranruin]

Lol k well I guess I didn't think that she couldn't use it unless she's drunk... Lol but I'm wondering how that works because this is a bonded ability, directly attained from her dragon, and her dragon wouldn't have anything to do with alcohol, let alone needing it to execute a move XD Booz just don't make sense in relation to mana. Maybe she discovers it when she's drunk some time later when Merrik let's her start having casual drinks again, and she doesn't think she can use it sober? But after mind training she learns to control her emotions and use her ability sober? Because Merrik would never allow any o his soldiers to be drunk while at war.... Lol that would make no sense right?

Lol k wait, are you still talking about me? I have lip rings, not a nose ring. Nose rings are gross (in my personal opinion)

[Ghirardelli]

I seen one, she had ring in her ear, nose and lip then had a chain linked to all three with all kinds of lil jewelry stuff along the chain..

[Soulserenity20]

WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? Lol
