How Things Have Changed... (A HTTYD roleplay) CLOSED

[Menagerie]

Decades have passed since the great Dragon Rider Hiccup tamed the Nightfury, Toothless. Both have gone on to Valhalla, but their legacy has lived on in the new generations. Since their time thousands dragons have been caught and trained, and more and more species of the reptiles are being discovered. It is a wondrous time on the island of Berk!  

However...not all seems to be well, despite what others say. Vikings are turning on one another; simple competitions turn into full-on battles, dragons are being claimed and hoarded by those in power, worse and worse villains and criminals are surfacing. It's gotten to the point where only the rich and powerful are allowed to capture and tame dragons, claiming the rest of the people as their slaves. You heard right. The poor and struggling are kidnapped in the dead of night, dragged from their families to serve the rich. It even happens to some of the 'middle class'; it doesn't matter your rank anymore. If you have the money and firepower to get what you want, sometimes even the chief cannot stop you.  

So child, what are you? One of the strong, who wield their power over others? Or are you of the weak, not even allowed to own a dragon and forced to serve the powerful? Or perhaps one of the free, who forge their own path? 

---------- 

Greetings. If you didn't already realize, my name's Howl. I've been tossing around this idea for a while now. Basically, about a hundred years have gone by since Hiccup and Toothless passed away. Dragons are continuing to be caught and trained, as the introduction says, however now only the rich and powerful are allowed to do so. The poor are turned into slaves for them, and it is unspoken consent among the people that owning a dragon will result in severe punishment.  

Also explained above, Berk isn't in very good shape. The chief is losing control over the village, and with the increase in dragons more powerful criminals and villains are surfacing and causing chaos. A couple have even managed to destroy the village a couple times.  

This is strictly a PM roleplay. My reasons are that I want the characters to have a chance to more closely interact than they would in a public roleplay, with several characters running around.  

My requirements for roleplayers are as stated
-Each post must be at least one paragraph long. That means at least 4-5+ sentences per post.
-Replies within two days. I understand that people are busy with getting back into school right now, so hopefully this will give you enough time to post
-You will be required to play both a rider and a dragon (if you want your character to have one). Yes, you can have more than one character, however those people will be very limited. Only one or two people will be able to have more than one character.
-For characters, please do not use an anime picture as reference. I'd like to see real people as the character you're playing. A good place to find pictures for this would be Pinterest.
-Expanding on the above requirement, I would also ask to name your characters realistically. Please no Japanese names or anything. At least make it sound Vikingish
-With each post I would like your character's name posted, your dragon's name posted, and what your character is doing at that point in the roleplay.


I will be accepting 3 masters, 3 slaves, and 1 free character and/or criminal.

Masters (3/3) (SeparatedSpirits, Swiftclaw, Spottedleaf) CLOSED

Sign Up
Desired Role: slave.
Roleplay example:
A soft breeze came though the small valley with the sounds of horses' hooves clomping down the beaten dirt path that was the only roadway the small town had, a teenaged girl sat in the front of the carriage that a pair of quarter horses pulled with bales of hay behind her and held together by a thick blanket with ropes strapped across to keep and of it to blow away. "Easy now, we're on the rough road once more." She spoke to herself and the horses who only neighed in response with one sneezing from the dust.
On a scale of 1-10, how active are you?: 9/10.

[Menagerie]

Accepted. With this, we only have one slave role left. First come, first serve!

[Lily~Myth]

Thanks

Desired Role: Slave
Roleplay example:(These are werewolves, if anybody besides Howl cares to read it she knows. ANYWAY)
 Zecora walked through the forest, her worn boots steadily thumping the ground as she put one foot in front of the other and followed Zoru's scent. There were two others with him, she realized, as she got closer, but she faintly recognized them. They were the two that had been with Zoru the day before, though their discovery of each other hadn't been too great. It had been a battle, in fact, one that he was enraged about. Zoru had been insulted, and of all the things that faced him, it was something he hated. He had gotten his revenge on the one who had insulted him, a human girl that he had Turned by biting her, so she wasn't surprised that she had a different smell, the same yet different. She now stood at the edge of the clearing they were in. They were bickering about something. "Hey, what's going on here? You sound like a pack of wolves! Oh wait, you are." She said with a laugh.
On a scale of 1-10, how active are you?: 10

 Finished it, Menagerie!

I'll accept you when you fill out the roleplay example, but consider the slave role CLOSED.

Now all we need is 3 masters and a free character (or criminal, based on their preferences)

[Awkward Potato]

Menagerie, I finished up the forum.

[Menagerie]

Accepted, then. I'll add you to the list.

Bump

[Orientall]

Desired Role: Master
Roleplay example: A sharp pain erupted through his body as the bullet pierced through his chest and Jayden screamed out while he clutch the wound with his hands as if it would ease the pain. He let out a shaky breath as he crumpled down to the floor, his wide blue eyes fixed up on his brother holding the gun, shocked that the other two would betray him like this. He blinked as his gaze started to get blurry and it was starting to get harder to keep his head up. The last thing he heard was a dark chuckle as the sound of footsteps walking away before his vision finally went black. (Decided to do something different ouo)

[Menagerie]

Accepted! I'll add you to the list

[Swiftclaw]

Desired Role: Free Character
Roleplay example: Touzuko slipped around the corner of a tent, peering over at his partner-in-crime. She was already distracting one of the villagers. The fletchinder didn't even know he was there. Perfect. He snuck into the tent, which was empty, fortunately. He began rummaging through drawers, but there was nothing of interest there. There were a few coins in a jar in the corner. He tipped them into his bag. Then he spotted a satchel sitting on top of nest. He crept toward it, peeking inside. It was full of berries, harvested only yesterday by the looks of it. He popped one in his mouth, then slung the satchel's strap over his shoulder and crawled out, only to be spotted by another villager. "Drat," he muttered. (( this is actually quite small for me; on the WCF I tend to write paragraphs ^^' ))
On a scale of 1-10, how active are you?: 6-7/10, now that school has started. (( see the PM. ))

Desired Role: Master
Roleplay Example: Swiftclaw normally rose with sun. The restless warrior was not one to sleep in. But on this pale morning, she slept longer, and more fitfully. Her dreams were plagued with dark, ominous creatures that disallowed her from a moment of peaceful slumber all night long. She tossed and turned, trying to keep comfortable, but her efforts were useless. So as dawn's gentle light spilled into camp, she reluctantly stretched her nimble legs and stood. She groomed her silver-and-white tabby fur, still ruffled from sleep, and padded soundlessly outside, shivering slightly in the cool air.
On a scale of 1-10, how active are you?: 6-7/10 (( see the PM. ))

Accepted, Swiftclaw! I will add you to the list. The Free Character is now CLOSED.

All we need now is a master and we're set!

[✞~Spottedleaf ~✞]

Desired Role: Whatever role is left
Roleplay example: Spottedleaf suddenly jerked awake and looked around with a puzzled expression on her face. She realized that she was not at home anymore, and while the place she was in appeared to be familiar to her, she couldn't quite put the pieces together of where exactly she was. She tried standing up, but when she did that, something else came to her realization. Spottedleaf was no longer in the shape of her human-self. Instead, she was in the shape of Spottedcloud, her OC. This is very odd she thought to herself as she continued to examine her surroundings.
On a scale of 1-10, how active are you?: 10, however, I am less active until late afternoon during the week because of school. I attend church on Monday nights, Wednesday evenings, as well as Sunday mornings.
