(Here's my antagonist character. At the moment, she's still living in the village and hasn't officially become antagonistic yet)
Name- Valkyrie (sometimes people call her Val or Rie)
Age- 20
Gender- Female
Sexuality- Demisexual
Appearance- 5'6 and thin with muscle tone, lean with few curves, naturally pale skin that's tanned fairly dark from spending so much time in the sun, dirty blonde long and wavy hair usually tied back with a red ribbon, bright amber eyes
Personality- Somewhat serious but very soft-hearted, holds grudges
Dragon's name, appearance, personality- Valhalla, male, massive with large wingspan, light blue with yellow eyes and razor teeth, playful, enjoys fighting and playing rough, ambitious
Background- formerly a poor farmer, now a dragon rider; she found out she could talk to dragons a couple of years ago and Aurelius took her back to the village. However, before this, a dragon was in her hometown, chained up by knights to be killed in an arena. Aurelius went to save the dragon, but his mission went downhill, and Valkyrie's younger brother was killed by the dragon. She was on Aurelius' side for a while, but she grew continuously bitter and blamed him and his people for everything and joined the "bad guys"
Other (optional)-
(Yes, @StarkSpangledBanner that's fine, and yes, we can hear all dragons)
(Ok! Imma make him in a few hours give or take)
(Cool cool. Can the dragonstalk to each other? Sorry for so many questions.)
Mara jumped back onto Riven and followed after Nox and Aurelius. Don't ever say or ask anything like that again. Mara just laughed at how childish he was being. "Fine, fine."
(Yes, dragons can talk to each other. And it's fine lol I didn't explain a whole lot lore-wise.)
Zuriel walked beside Riven looked at Mara how did you find him? Arioch had seemingly fallen asleep in the saddle
"I was running away and ended up in a cave where I was his feathers glowing in the dark and we kind of just ran away together. It's nothing Facny." Mara looked down and saw a saddle. Are you think of getting one of those? Because I refuse. Riven said. "You Seriously complain too much you know that."
it's actually more comfortable than you think, and it doesn't affect you all that much Zuriel reached back and re-hooked Arioch to the saddle
I don't like being confined. Mara rolled her eyes. She wished she could take a nap. How did you two meet? Riven thought it was only fair they shared their story as well.
"You can learn how to ride without a saddle," Aurelius said, pointing at the bare back of Nox, "It's a lot tougher, but some dragons prefer it without, which is why I do it most of the time."
That's right. He's not good for much, but Auri does care about my comfort. Nox grumbled.
"Nox, why do you insult me at every possible opportunity?"
I kid, I kid. You're a good human, Auri.
Aurelius laughed just a little. "I'm glad you think so."
"Yeah, Jade threatens to burn my garden if I ride her with a saddle," Quincy glanced at Jade, "That was a fun time."
Saddle's are for smaller dragons. Do I look small? Jade glared at him.
"Your wings are bigger than your body."
This evoked Jade to then growl as she spit a small fire ball at Quincy's shoe lighting it on fire. Quincy started hopping around trying to put it out.
(I'm loving the human-dragon interactions here. Honestly so much of it is, "I could kill you, but I won't," "Humans are dumb, but I love them and will take care of them," and other things like that)
I don't like being confined. Mara rolled her eyes. She wished she could take a nap. How did you two meet? Riven thought it was only fair they shared their story as well.
Arioch found me drinking from a pond, he was amazed as he though dragons were a myth. he spoke to me asking if i was real. from then on he would find a way to sneak out and visit me, we became family.
I'm small, but I still don't want one. Mara played with Riven's feathers again. "You guys should totally see how he glows in the dark." That ticked Riven off a bit, she wouldn't change though, so might as well get used to it. Yes I'm a dragon that can't fly. But I would be an awesome party light. He said sarcastically.
"Riven, where are you from? I've never seen a dragon quite like you before, but then again, I've never been allowed to travel much," Aurelius asked, "I was wondering if there's some region where dragons like you are common, or if you're truly one of a kind."
For as long as I remember I've been alone, in a dark cave. He was sure that his parents left him there for his own good. My parents left me there, they didn't want to but I think we were in danger. I never saw them after that. Mara was shocked, she wouldn't have guessed he had a past like that.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Well, hopefully you'll thrive where we take you, and now that you have others that have your back," Aurelius told Riven, "There are a lot of dangers out there, but you will be safe where we're going."
Nox made a deep rumbling sound in her throat, signaling some amusement.
Raised by actual dragons, huh? I had human parents.
What was that like? Riven asked. He's never heard of a human being a dragons parents. Mara was just enjoying the wind in her hair and the dragons conversations. Everything they were saying she memorized so that she could write it done later.
Well, I grew up in this village. There was a girl who found my egg in a wagon that had crashed on the side of the road- presumably a good to be sold by poachers. She took me home and took care of the egg, and then she raised me. She married young and her husband helped take care of me. I was big and strong enough to ride by the time I was two years old, and so she began taking me on patrols. Eventually, I became a battle dragon as she and her husband trained to become dragon knights. As time drew on, we became closer. Then, they had a son, who was basically raised like my brother. For a while, the family settled down, and we just lived in the village, free of any worry, up until my parents were called to fight in a king's war. I was the only one who made it back, and ever since, I have bonded with the woman's son.
Aurelius looked away from everyone else. She was obviously talking about him.
(I have to go to another class. I'll be back later.)
"Awe, that so cute, I mean the whole family part of course." Mara thought having people that cared about you was awesome, she never really got the whole family thing, but that's fine. "Can you're dragons read your emotions. " it was a bit out of the blue, but if Riven can do it can't they or is that another thing that makes him special?
we can it just takes a connection, for instance. she looked to Arioch even though he is sleeping i can tell he's a little stressed, we haven't had a new rider in a while.
"So, he's stressed because of me?" She looked over at Arioch. "I don't mean to stress him out, seriously, I'm not a bad person I'm a bit naive and I don't know much but.." Mara laid her head on the back of Riven's neck. Calm down, you're freaking out too much.
