I was thinking that the Riders could each have their own badge to signify what branch they were in. Each branch was based on the color of the dragon, and every different branch had their unique abilities. Just sayin, I had to put this out there cuz then it will be SWEET

This is a great idea. Maybe we can keep it simple with no more than 4-6 branches. If we get to many it will get confusing. Maybe we could go with an elemental theme. cliche a bit but it's well known.
Air - white/grey/silver dragons, agile flyers
Earth - brown dragons, loyalty
Fire - black, red, gold dragons, strength
Water - blue, teal dragons,
This is a rough idea chart for it. It needs work still if we want to use it.

Nice so far.. water can be.. hm.. idk.. stronger elemental attacks.. or sharper mind.. or what would make sense: Hard to detect their mind.

Air - White, Grey, Silver dragons. Ability: Agile flyers.
Earth - Brown dragons. Ability: Sturdy and can with-stand better.
Fire - Red, Black, Gold dragons. Ability:Fire is hotter.
Water - Blue, Teal dragons. Ability:Hard to detect their minds.

Would this be based on the colour of the dragons, or something the Riders/dragons themselves chose? Only the colour seems to be random and it might not suit everybody to have it like that. Also there are some dragons that are in between colours like purple and turquoise. Just saying this because dragons hatch for people based on their character, so a brown earth dragon could hatch for someone who is a quick and agile but not sturdy, more of an air person.
I still really like this idea though. Each Rider Order (or whatever you wanna call it) could have their own colored cloaks or necklaces or something. Would the Riders have a perk too, based on what their dragons are like?

It is based on both Quetzal. Say you make a Rider. He/She is sturdy yet not much of an agile person. Then on rare occasions such as that, they are sent to the Branch (That's the name) of the pair's choosing to train. Get what I mean? I'll make an organized thread that will be a prototype until we all agree on this and that. Okay with all? Also, those in the middle of two colors get to choose what Branch they want with no extra training.

So it's not set in stone which branch they join? Cool. Also I know we were just talking about it in the cbox, but I don't want it to get lost when other people post so I'll post it here too. I think they should have some gem of their element's colour to put in a ring, necklace, bracelet, whatever piece of jewelry they chose, which could maybe store enough energy to, say, send a signal to other gems of the same colour to tell people when you are in danger?

That sounds like a good idea not to have it set in stone by dragon color. The riders can choose what one fits best. Maybe the colors can be a "most likely" thing. Like most dragons in the earth house are brown but there can be say blue in there too.
I love that idea Quetzal and maybe not all riders are part of this. Some could be outside the houses group. The danger warning with the gems sounds cool. Maybe the gems could always match the house color. Air= white, earth =brown, fire=red, water=blue.
Would there be a leader of the house. maybe this could be kind of a new group of sorts.

Um.. okay! I'll add all this to the prototype thread which I locked so it won't get flooded.  But also Emi.. interesting. If you want we cane have five Elders. One for each house and each one could hold a fragment of a key that like uh.. umm... hmm.... I don't know but the key could be like a weapon? It could be that th key, when put together shapes into the weapon you are thinking of. Kind of like aRider sword just on a MUCH higher level. Of course that wep is too OP so it will only be for thebstory of these Branches. |

I think it would be good to have a leader for each branch, but maybe not ranks so much within branches? Just to keep things from getting competitive so everything's peaceful and that. I don't know what you guys are planning with the plot, but perhaps something there could force the Riders to make these branches for whatever reason; trying to unite the elements/two sides of the civil war, I don't know.

That would be good to maybe have five leaders/elders, one for each house. I dunno about like an weapon they maybe could do a plot into getting that later. And yeah I'd say keep ranks simple. Maybe the only ranks are the five leaders/elders and then everyone else is members.
We should tie it in with the current plot. That would be really good and would help further the current plot. My namesake, Emiryal, would be inclined perhaps to start something like this. He is a former Empire rider gone into hiding.

Can the story please be something current, rather than randomly saying 'oh yeah, by the way, 100 years ago this happened'. Not just for the sake of continuity and making sense, but also because then it would tie in nicely with the plot and be fun to RP out.
Oh, and another thing, this one about the cloak design although I can't post in the thread with the design because it's been locked. I don't like the idea of having a specific dragon (Bid'Daum on the Air cloak) on the attire of the Riders. Just because it sort of feels as though they're trying to support/honour the memory one dragon in particular, when that's not really what the branch is about at all. I just think there's a better way to represent air than Bid'daum...

That's a good point Quetzal. How about a symbol of either a) a white dragon in general for air or b) a symbol to represent air itself? Do you think one of those would work better for it?
As for plot, Vlaer is working on something. Once ihe has it done we could look at it and maybe tweak it if we need to. Or we could RP it out and maybe have the branches be newly created.

It's up to you to judge Vlaer's plot, especially since I have no idea what you've got planned for the site, but it would be nice to have them newly created so we can play out how they managed to settle and establish themselves, and how they deal with the challenges of figuring out how best to organise themselves.

Eh to be honest I just go with the flow and let the plots develop on their own. I'm always open to any ideas you have for the site or things you guys want to do. As for the plot. Let's see what Vlaer comes up with and we can go from there and decide what we want to do. |
