With the return of the dragons, and the rise of Dragon Hunters as a result, the need for Dragon Riders has never been greater. Hiccup and the rest of the original Dragon Riders have started training the next generation to fulfill their mission: ensure the safety of the dragons. A whole new set of Dragon Riders will be in charge of the safety of the archipelago. They will explore further and discover even more new dragons while protecting their home.
Please note: You have 2 weeks from the date you register your OOC account to initiate your character application. Any accounts that have not started their character application within this timeframe may be subject to deletion. You will also have 2 weeks from the date your Work in Progress thread is created to complete your character and submit it for review. If it is not completed within 2 weeks, a member of staff may reach out to you and ask you to complete it. If it still isn't done within 4 weeks from the date the thread was started, it will be moved to the Abandoned Applications board. You may reach out to a member of staff at any time to have the character moved back to our Work in Progress board to finish your character.
All character applications must be made under your OOC Account. Once your character is accepted, you may create a new account for your character.
Characters should not have unnatural skin, hair, or eye colors, and clothing choice should make sense for the time period. *Hair can be dyed, but characters should not be born with unnatural hair colors.
Dragon Riders should be at least 16 years of age.
Only one Dragon Rider per member will be permitted. Characters may have dragons that they can ride, however only one character may be part of a Dragon Rider team.
Players are limited to one (1) rideable dragon per character. If you would like more than one dragon, you may have a secondary dragon that is a non-rideable dragon.
Small dragons, such as Terrible Terrors, are limited to no more than 5 per character.
Dragon eggs are only available in the Shop, otherwise, characters must have found their dragon companion as a Short Wing or older.
Rare, Very Rare, and Titan Wing dragons are only available through the Shop and are limited to 2 rare dragons per species, 1 very rare per species, and 2 titan wings total.
If you want to create a new dragon, or use one of the canon dragons we haven't listed, that's OK! You can fill out a New Dragon Species Application, however, the new dragon species should be very different than any canon dragons. Rarity rules will also apply to these.
Difficult to train. rare, or dragons from far away must have a relatively advanced history of how the trainer taught them, came to have them, etc. It has to make sense to the type of dragon. Get creative and do the research on the dragon!
The Book of Dragons shows there are five stages in a dragon's growth: Egg, Tiny Tooth, Short Wing, Broad Wing, and the incredibly rare Titan Wing.
Egg: Dragon eggs come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, all of which help the egg survive better. Some of which even explode when hatching.
Tiny Tooth: Also known as the hatchling or baby, these dragons are small and extremely adorable.
Short Wing: Also known as the juvenile or teen stage, these dragons are slightly smaller than their full-grown size. They start to develop traits and characteristics of their species, but their firepower may be weaker. For example, juvenile Speed Stinger venom only paralyzes some body parts instead of the entire body for a shorter time.
Broad Wing: These adults are fully grown and have developed all traits of their species.
Titan Wing: Titans are the rarest stage of dragons. They are physically faster and stronger than their younger counterparts, with different colors and more body parts like spikes and barbs.
