<Snipped quote by Wernher>
It's quite unfortunate that this is my role play and not yours isn't it? Did I not just say she needed to be changed before I can accept her? It's not what you're going to do that worries me. It's that you play it off as she can't when she clearly can. It's impractical and as unlikely as dying of the Black Plague in America these days. It bothers me that you just blatantly ignored what I said as well *smiles*
It bothers me you have to be so passive-aggressive about it. Have a nice day. *Smiles*

I like how she's presented, and what unique background she brings in. But I'd like to point out that she's 17 and it's not very practical for her to be able to hack into the CIA's network without tripping their alarm system from a regular home computer.
And somehow, people did it in real life!
However, that was then, and now is now. Plus, she'd still be banned from computers when the RP start for a little bit and anyways would be pretty fed up with being an internet warrior (Plus, she realizes that she's out of practice and if she's caught, she'd probably be trialed like an adult and would suffer years, if not a life in prison) so don't worry, I won't turn this into a spy flic.
*Smiles*
I'll bite, I think this could be a fun little distraction.
No dragon scales but you can keep the ember if you make it less OP.
Alright, then no nothing.
If it's just normal fuel, no point in having such a large and potentially politically dangerous infrastructure going. Too bad.
@Cyclone The 'can't be worked' is universal and won't change, it can't be melted and if you hit it, it will either not react or break.
And honestly, I don't think it's a concern. At all. Dragons have little to offer except for awesome factor and if their scales had the durability of say, bones, then a single guy with a machine gun would be a match (And arguably, it can still be considering how the eyes don't have scales on them)
Big is not a strength. It's awesome, but ultimately it's a weakness. Just more exposed surface.
So what I want is something awesome but that won't immediately get one shot by anything.

I've never been a fan of "only I have it" objects but that's not my call.
That said, the dft-77 is a cruel and barbaric method of producing a very high end-limited resource. I love it :)
Einheits are meant to be used in situations where currencies are inconvenient (EG, if you manage to trap yourself in hyper inflation.) and can be used freely. Likewise, dragons can be poached, although it's a bit more complicated. And DFT is as much a problem as it is an asset some would say.
Need opinions on this.
UNIQUE
Dragon Scale:
Sturdier and lighter than mithril, it comes with the benefit of being one of the most heat shielding element available in the world. All of these advantages however come with the drawback that it is almost impossible to craft. It cannot be melted and while it can be shattered with sufficient forces, it will then become shards of limited use. Despite all of this, dragon scales are still researched items if only for the prestige they provide, larger ones often being used to give good protection to airships, even if they do leave a lot of chinks to be exploited. Smaller ones, while offering less protection, are even more researched to make body armor.
Vermillion Einzelunternehmen Bank Gold gedeckt Einheit:
'Gold Backed Units' Sold by the Vermillion bank based in Zubern, one unit cost exactly as much as one Draconic Ounce of 24 carat gold as per the Vinculi market price and likewise can be bought with gold. A lot of corporations can be squeamish about what kind of currency they accept as payment and so endorse the Einheit as a form of international currency which is backed by the fact that at any time, any amount of unit can be converted back in gold without any warning at the bank. This system has been going on for 3 centuries and the Vermillion bank has never once gone against its word.
Einheits are sold in certificates for set amount, in turn, certificates can be combined or split at a bank making for a easy and concealable way to carry millions in currency by both nobility and criminals as well. The banking secret here is king however and the bank does not provide any help should the valuable certificate be destroyed and as such, these slips of paper should be watched over carefully.
Drakoziran Fuel Type 77 (DFT-77):
While the nations of Vinculi benefit more or less equally of the Rocketry Institute's researches, they are free to customize these new technologies as they desire. One peculiar oddity in the field of rocketry however is the fuel sold exclusively by Serclaes Industries to Drakozir dubbed DFT-77. It is a liquid fuel that creates a lot more energy than any others known while being substantially less volatile. Having literally no downside to other fuels, it is a closely guarded secret that no one, even with samples at their disposal, has been able to reproduce. Truth is, the Primarch and Serclaes have a very special secret ingredient at their disposal. 'Ember'... is the name given by dragons to the glands that produce the flame they spit. Harvesting this liquid would be impractical to do on adult dragons, but not on freshly born ones.
It is no secret that Drakozir has purity laws in effect preventing incest as mix-breeding between certain linage as not to polute the warrior potential they have and likewise, some dragons do not enjoy the fact that their mates have been selected before they were even born and find love outside. The eggs of any of these intercourse are seized by the government to be destroyed, officially. Behind the curtain however, these eggs are hatched and the young dragonlings are hooked to tubes to drain their Ember, being feed by other tubes a diet to encourage its growth and kept sedated at all time. Dragons raised like that can generally survive a few short years before their glands become burned out and they are culled for scales and sent to the meat grinder. Ember fluid is then further processed and enriched to produce DFT-77. Needless to say, this is all extremely secretive as no doubt dragons would react violently to see their rejects being treated like so. No matter if they are bastards, they are still creatures worthy of more respect than that.

I would accept him but it still says his population is 190 million people and I maintain that is too high by at least 40 million.
Everything else is fine though so you're probably safe posting it. If nothing else you can just retcon after the fact.
