I made a mistake

Hello! I just made this account and it is my first one on the site. I figured this would be my main account, while my actual characters were linked accounts. This is how it is on the other rp site I'm on, but this site doesn't have a way to link accounts without using a different e-mail. You also can't change your username here, and after I made this account, I noitced people ask for name chages instead, so I'd like mine to be Mirage please. I apollogize for the inconvenience.

Hello and welcome to DRF! Yes, as you've discovered, you can't link accounts here. Instead, you must make a new account for each of your characters. I'll get your name changed and I look forward to seeing your character. If you haven't already, be sure to read the rules and new members guide and let us know if you have any questions. Here's the links

Edit: the name Mirage is already taken. Is there another name you would like to use for this account?

Thanks for the welcome, as well as the links. I read them a couple times over before, but I'm still pretty much in culture shock with this website and I still have a hazy image of the world. Could I create a character that is from another realm, but still somewhat resembles the LightWings, physically and magically? Also, could she be a rouge still deciding which alliance to join and possibly be a roaming trader for now? The name I'd like to go with is Leyonta, if that isn't taken as well.

You're welcome! Yes, your character can come from/be based on another world, but they must fit with our world in terms of abilities. Physically, you have more freedom, they just need to resemble a dragon and fit the height restrictions for whichever species you're making. And you can be a rogue that is considering joining a tribe. As far as being a trader, Rogues don't have a rank, so at that part in your character sheet, it would be left as N/A but you can say that she likes to trade with others.

Keep those questions coming if you have any more, particularly about our world here.

Hey there, and welcome to DRF.

I guess I could ask what the goals and motivations of each of the tribes are? It seems to me like the Lightwings and Skywings are allied, then the Earthwings, Firewings,and Nightwings are all together, but are the two groups against each other, or are they all at peace? What about the others?

P.S. Thanks, Wake.

The IceWings and SeaWings are allied as well. Currently, the world is overrun with monsters from another realm that have nearly wiped out dragonkind, the Lesser Species, and will eventually threaten humans in the same way. The SeaWing and IceWing tribes are without leaders and have the least amount of members, which is why they are rarely seen at the moment. The few survivors of those tribes are in hiding. The LightWings are also without a leader of their own but as they are allied with the SkyWings, they follow the SkyWings' king. The Starlight Order (Sky and LightWing alliance) is neither at war or peace with the Imperium (EarthWings, FireWings, and NightWinfs) as everyone's focus right now is looking after their own tribe/alliance and surviving the monsters. Woo to answer your first question, right now their goals are just to survive, rebuild their numbers, and take back their respective territories.

Okay, thanks I needed to know in order to finish my characters history. I'll finish it up and make an rp sample then she should be ready to reveiw by tomorrow night.
Is alchemy something that is studdied by the tribes/allowed on the site? Also, are there some sort of vessels of magical energy in the world? (i.e. luck stones, and stones that ward off disease?)

The dragon gods (full gods) have artifacts that can do various things for whoever has one.

Right now, belief in the gods is almost nonexistent because of the monster event. Doesn't mean you can't follow them, you'll just likely be considered crazy for doing so. It's not necessary to do a RP with a god/goddess if you want to have one of their artifacts--if it is considered common. But for artifacts that are considered very rare, like the red Moonstone, you should do a RP with that god/goddess to obtain one.

As for alchemy, I don't believe that's ever been done here. If it is studied by any of the Tribes, it would be done by Scholars.
