This is a roleplay taking place in the world of Alagaesia after the time of the Empire. It is not neccesary to have read the Eragon books, but highly reccomended. You can apply to be a person who is anything from a dragon rider to a farmer, who will be thrust into situations they never would have dreamed possible...
Note:This roleplay is based on the books, not the movie. The movie was terrible. The books are epic. Just a forewarning.
Story:
The year is 8016 AC, and world in Alagaesia is peaceful. Long ago, King Galbatorix was cast down, and everything now seems prosperous and perfect. However, new tensions are rising. The city of Teirm, a city-state seperate from the new kingdom, is arguing heavily on trade between them. Surda, a southern kingdom, is claiming pieces of land that are arguably part of other kingdoms. And amongst it all, the Urgals, feared and despised, are being provoked into attacking villages. The bindings of civilization itself are strained.
Eragon, the brave man who killed evil Galbatorix, is situated far away, training other dragon riders to cope with these issues. The elves and dwarves are retreating farther into their homelands, suposedly leaving the situation to deal with itself. You, wherever you come from, are one of the many who will try desprately- to either stop the chaos or induce it.

Name: Selkrentys Age: 30 Race: Human Gender: Male Appearance: Brown hair, blue eyes, some facial hair. Wears a leather surcoat generally, but in battle uses fairly heavy half-plate armor. Looks somewhat shabby, but organized. Personality: Cautious, strong-willed, and no-nonsense. However, he sometimes can be humorous. He can sometimes be quick to anger, but generally thinks things through well. Biography: He was chosen to be one of the dragon riders after he displayed skill in magic at an early age. He trained for a few years, but when he didn't find an egg that chose him, he left. He now works in whatever his skill helps with, hoping that a new egg will come to existence that just might chose him. Magic Ability: Fairly good. He uses most types of magic on a regular basis, but isn't the best. Fighting Ability: He is an expert swordsman, but can also easily handle weapons like axes and maces. He never was very proficient with bows, but can use a crossbow decently. Location: Currently, he lives in Aroughs, but may leave at any time. Suggestions: Should I have any? Other: Notin'.
Roleplay Rules:
Rules:
1) No Godmodding. This means being invincible or overpowered. For example, no controlling 1,000 dragons an instantly wiping out everyone. Punishable by multiple warnings and possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
2) No Powerplaying. This means controlling another charecter. You can't say you killed the other person with fire instantly, you have to give them time to possilby react. Punishable by multiple warnings and possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
3) No Metagaming. This means knowing things about another charecter and using that information to your advantage. Other people can't know if John the dwarf picked his nose in privite, because they weren't there. Punishable by multiple warnings and possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
4) Comply to the Status of Intermediate Roleplay. This means that you should post in a way that is intermediate or above, rather than casual or below. Grammar (syntax), spelling, capitalization, perspective, punctuation, post length, and story relevancy should all be taken into consideration, and used properly. It does not matter if you make a few small mistakes in your post; everyone does occasionally. However, overuse of non-intermediate+ content will result in punishment. Punishable by multiple warnings, then possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
5) My word is final. If I decide something that others don't agree with, you must comply. I will be flexible in my decisions and allow others to do mostly what they want, but if I am completely against whatever you are doing, you must cease it or risk getting suspended from posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights, or being expelled from the Roleplay.
6) Always listen to Rule #8. Failure to comply will result in being expelled from the Roleplay. No exeptions.
7) Only I am allowed to pageclaim. If anyone else posts anything regarding that they have claimed a page, they risk getting suspended from posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights, or being expelled from the Roleplay. However, VIPs have the extended privlage of being able to pageclaim.
8) Always listen to Rule #6. Failure to comply will result in being expelled from the Roleplay. No exeptions.
9) VIPs, as well as myself, can make multiple characters. However, there is a maximum of 3 characters. Normal RPers may only make a single character.
If you see me on this site, it's probably because I'm not particularly interested in it. Or I may be slightly intoxicated, though probably you won't see me here.
((Hm... maybe... I mean, I do like the books... and happen to really like dragons... hm.............................. :/))
((however, I am not liking the lack of interest in this, an RP like this does not deserve this fate.))
Selkrentys decided to head for the market to purchase a treat after a day of long work. I shouldn't do much more work with masonry, he thought, exhausted. He had recently been using magic to cut stones for a local baron, who was extending his house. It was more taxing than he had originally anticipated.
Browsing the local market stalls, he came across one selling freshly-baked bread. Setting down some change, he purchased a small but crisp loaf of bread with honey. Sitting down at the side of the road, he begin to nibble on it. At first, he ate it slowly, but his hunger soon did him in and he found himself downing the treat in seconds. As he finished off the last portion, he heard a yell from aways down the street, in an alleyway. The townspeople were startled and inched away from the location after a few brief glances.
Selkrentys decided that he had to determine what the yell came from. Images of fanciful 'maidens in distress' came to mind, but as he rounded the corner, it was merely a standard tavern fight that had spilled over from a side door into the alley. One man was busy lobbing a chair at the other, most likely the one who had emitted the yell in the first place. Shaking his head in disgust, the rider turned and trotted back down the street. His mood soured, he decided to head towards the inn for the rest of the night.
((Hm... maybe... I mean, I do like the books... and happen to really like dragons... hm.............................. :/))
((however, I am not liking the lack of interest in this, an RP like this does not deserve this fate.))
((Yeah, after people liked the interest check, I was somewhat surprised to find not many people joining. Meh, once a few people join, it should get attention in due time.))
((Hm...... gonna need a dragonish name for my character... hrm... great, I'm in he same position as Eragon was when he was naming his dragon... 'cept, I don't have any books to help me...))
((Hm...... gonna need a dragonish name for my character... hrm... great, I'm in he same position as Eragon was when he was naming his dragon... 'cept, I don't have any books to help me...))
(( A technique that I use for naming characters is I take a previous name (Saphira for example,) and constantly tweak it until I find something I like. For instance: Saphira -> Sapiran -> Sakiron. There are also lots of internet fantasy name generators, I use them for writing short stories occasionally.))

(can I apply as a partial shade? For example, galbatorix had attempted to create a shade, but the first shade was still part human. Said failed shade escaped, and so on. I'll include balancing into the app)

She was a big fan of the strongest magicans and wanted to try for herself. It didn't take long time before she realised that she was quite good at it as well. She continued to train for decades. Reading, then magic. All day for years. She did all she could to understand all the oldest books so she would master an as large variety of magic as posible. Eventualy a dragon picked her and she started to travel through Alagesia, looking over the world from the skies with her dragon. She's currently back in Ellemera though.
Magic Ability: Preferibly energy-magic, but is decent with most kinds.
Fighting Ability: Sword.

((Cannot write my app while on the phone... though, I think I've come up with a name for my character. Thunderclaw... too bad I can't write my app yet.))
((Hm... using Saphira as a sort of base... given that we share our scale color (and possibly more)...hm...
may I use your result, please?))

As long as it's balanced well, I will probably accept it. I am going to make an application form for 'unusual creatures'.

Selkrentys awoke. He was lying on an old matress in an Aroughs inn, where he would be staying until he decided to leave. Listening carefully, he attempted to discern what had waken him. Hearing nothing, he stole a glance outside. The sun was just begining to rise. Sighing, and deciding that he couldn't go back to sleep anyway, Selkrentys rose and strutted out into the main room.
Glancing at the innkeeper, he ordered a pint of ale. It was watered down, but he didn't mind. As he sipped it slowly, he begun to wonder about his time in Aroughs. Maybe I should go back, he thought. However, he knew that returning to Eragon and training would just bring back memories that he would rather forget. he payed the innkeeper, he walked back outside.
Selkrentys knew that there was work to be done in masonry, but he couldn't stand another day in preparing stones. The energy cost was too great and the pay to low. Looking around the streets, he resumed his task for finding a job.
Name: Thunderclaw
Gender: ♂
Appearance: He has the same blue scales of his mother, however, he also has bright orange eyes, and a light blue underbelly. His claws are short, but very sharp, and are a jet black color, and he's a little small for a dragon... perhaps he's the runt of the family?
Personality: He has a strong sense of justice, and will not do anything he thinks isn't the right thing to do... he also has no preference for race, and wouldn't be racist to any of them... not even the Urgals. He may be a little picky when choosing a rider, as his egg has already been passed around several towns... obviously, he hasn't hatched yet. He seeks to end all prejudices against all races, and secretly wishes he could have been the one to destroy Galbitorix.
Fighting Ability: He is a decent fighter, and can deal damage with his claws, however, he can't seem to take a hit, unfortunately. He is actually better with using magic, espicially lightning-based magic, as such, he can't be damaged by lightning... however, he does have more than a distaste for the cold...
Location: Aroughs
Suggestions: perhaps a link to a site that has all the elven words... you know, so we can use magic, if we're able.
Other: hmm..... nothing else!
Name: Sriffen
Age: (Not sure how long werecats live for actually, cant remember much about them in the books) Young and playful, Sriffen, In human form, he would look like a 13 year old human boy, but is much older.
Race: Sriffen is a Werecat
Gender: (If applicable.) Sriffen is a male
Appearance: (Not much to go off fom the books, but I got this) Sriffen, in Werecat form, which he is usually in, has light coloured fur, and is clad in light armor most of the time, not trusting the delicate position Alagaesia is in. In human form, he is a small boy, that looks about the age of 13, with light hair, slanted eyes and quite a quiet appearance, looking like a boy who would rather stay in the shadows than socialize with others.
Personality: (Qualities and values unique to this thing.) Sriffen is intelligent, like most of his race, and his knowledge surpasses that of a normal human, and even some elves. He keeps his knowledge to himself, and rarely reveals how much he knows to anyone, his ability to keep his knowledge reserved aiding him in many unforeseen events.
Biography: Sriffen has moved around to many places in his lifetime, living with his chosen companions in many places, from small barns owned by lowly farmers to large palaces with rich kings as residents. The last person he chose to live with, a wealthy merchant, was killed in a disagreement about the cost of the transportation of his goods, and he was left living on the cold streets of Teirm, with no home, money or companions. Despite all the things against him, Sriffen has survived on the streets, and has earned himself some money through various means, be it stealing, or blackmailing, the wealthy occupents of Teirm. Now he is trying to get himself "up the ladder", in any way he can, and hoping to find a suitable companion for him to live with.
Career: (If applicable.) Fortis makes his living in the streets of Teirm, in any way he can.
Location: (What city or area do you currently reside in?) Teirm
Suggestions: (What would make this roleplay better?) Not really All looks good
Other: (Anything else you'd like to add.) Hope I get accepted! Loved the books (The movie not so much) and ive read a few of them more than once. I own a few hardback versions of them, and sometimes when I get bored I just take them out for a book I know I will enjoy .

Eragon[RP]
Name: Chris 'Shadow Walker' Sam
Race: Human/Shade Hybrid
Gender: Male
Age: 2934
Appearance: Black hair, pale skin. Average height. His right eye is a surprising color of green, while his left eye is blood red. Has a strip of black clothe on his head, tilted to cover the left eye. A black, full length coat covers Chris, with the hood up. Underneath, he wears(you guessed it!) black shirt and leggings. Carries a multitude of weapons in the space near him. All weapons are made of bones, with the exception of chains.
Personality: Kind, but scared. Mind you, he isn't usually scared of others. No, more like he is scared to harm the other person. Due to this, Chris never goes full out, whether physically, magically, or mentally. Preferring to stay in the shadows, and staying out of sight, Chris would let the other party strike first.
Biography: Chris was born like any other human. However, Galbatorix saw something within the heart of Chris. A small, secret desire to harm, and cause destruction. As Galbatorix took Chris in, he turned Chrus into a Shade. A shade, given the name 'Shadow Walker'. However, when Galbatorix was defeated, his hold over Chris was gone, and Chris could feel his more, sentimental thoughts. Soon afterwards, he ran out of the castle, and disappeared into the wilderness. He couldn't bear to be near anyone, since he didn't want to cause another being their suffering. It was only recently, that he came back to towns, abeit unsocially.
Career: None
Location: Uru'baen
Suggestions: None
Other: His green eye brightens and darkens, depending on his mood. And if you read book 4, you would know the 'space' that I talk about.Oh, forgot to say, my chat looks like he is 25

Description:
Overview:
This is a roleplay taking place in the world of Alagaesia after the time of the Empire. It is not neccesary to have read the Eragon books, but highly reccomended. You can apply to be a person who is anything from a dragon rider to a farmer, who will be thrust into situations they never would have dreamed possible...
Note: This roleplay is based on the books, not the movie. The movie was terrible. The books are epic. Just a forewarning.
Story:
The year is 8016 AC, and world in Alagaesia is peaceful. Long ago, King Galbatorix was cast down, and everything now seems prosperous and perfect. However, new tensions are rising. The city of Teirm, a city-state seperate from the new kingdom, is arguing heavily on trade between them. Surda, a southern kingdom, is claiming pieces of land that are arguably part of other kingdoms. And amongst it all, the Urgals, feared and despised, are being provoked into attacking villages. The bindings of civilization itself are strained.
Eragon, the brave man who killed evil Galbatorix, is situated far away, training other dragon riders to cope with these issues. The elves and dwarves are retreating farther into their homelands, suposedly leaving the situation to deal with itself. You, wherever you come from, are one of the many who will try desprately- to either stop the chaos or induce it.

Note: Dragons all begin as an egg, unless you have applied as a dragon+rider pair or as a wild dragon. When a possible rider comes in contact with the egg, the egg may or may not hatch depending on its "prefrence" of whether or not to have that rider as its rider. You may apply as a wild dragon, but I would starting as an egg.

Example Applications:
My Application & Example Application:
Dragon Rider Application:
Name: Selkrentys
Age: 30
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance: Brown hair, blue eyes, some facial hair. Wears a leather surcoat generally, but in battle uses fairly heavy half-plate armor. Looks somewhat shabby, but organized.
Personality: Cautious, strong-willed, and no-nonsense. However, he sometimes can be humorous. He can sometimes be quick to anger, but generally thinks things through well.
Biography: He was chosen to be one of the dragon riders after he displayed skill in magic at an early age. He trained for a few years, but when he didn't find an egg that chose him, he left. He now works in whatever his skill helps with, hoping that a new egg will come to existence that just might chose him.
Magic Ability: Fairly good. He uses most types of magic on a regular basis, but isn't the best.
Fighting Ability: He is an expert swordsman, but can also easily handle weapons like axes and maces. He never was very proficient with bows, but can use a crossbow decently.
Location: Currently, he lives in Aroughs, but may leave at any time.
Suggestions: Should I have any?
Other: Notin'.
Roleplay Rules:
Rules:
1) No Godmodding. This means being invincible or overpowered. For example, no controlling 1,000 dragons an instantly wiping out everyone. Punishable by multiple warnings and possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
2) No Powerplaying. This means controlling another charecter. You can't say you killed the other person with fire instantly, you have to give them time to possilby react. Punishable by multiple warnings and possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
3) No Metagaming. This means knowing things about another charecter and using that information to your advantage. Other people can't know if John the dwarf picked his nose in privite, because they weren't there. Punishable by multiple warnings and possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
4) Comply to the Status of Intermediate Roleplay. This means that you should post in a way that is intermediate or above, rather than casual or below. Grammar (syntax), spelling, capitalization, perspective, punctuation, post length, and story relevancy should all be taken into consideration, and used properly. It does not matter if you make a few small mistakes in your post; everyone does occasionally. However, overuse of non-intermediate+ content will result in punishment. Punishable by multiple warnings, then possible suspension of posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights.
5) My word is final. If I decide something that others don't agree with, you must comply. I will be flexible in my decisions and allow others to do mostly what they want, but if I am completely against whatever you are doing, you must cease it or risk getting suspended from posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights, or being expelled from the Roleplay.
6) Always listen to Rule #8. Failure to comply will result in being expelled from the Roleplay. No exeptions.
7) Only I am allowed to pageclaim. If anyone else posts anything regarding that they have claimed a page, they risk getting suspended from posting (as in being able to do something as your charecter, I can't stop you from posting on this thread) rights, or being expelled from the Roleplay. However, VIPs have the extended privlage of being able to pageclaim.
8) Always listen to Rule #6. Failure to comply will result in being expelled from the Roleplay. No exeptions.
9) VIPs, as well as myself, can make multiple characters. However, there is a maximum of 3 characters. Normal RPers may only make a single character.

((however, I am not liking the lack of interest in this, an RP like this does not deserve this fate.))
Browsing the local market stalls, he came across one selling freshly-baked bread. Setting down some change, he purchased a small but crisp loaf of bread with honey. Sitting down at the side of the road, he begin to nibble on it. At first, he ate it slowly, but his hunger soon did him in and he found himself downing the treat in seconds. As he finished off the last portion, he heard a yell from aways down the street, in an alleyway. The townspeople were startled and inched away from the location after a few brief glances.
Selkrentys decided that he had to determine what the yell came from. Images of fanciful 'maidens in distress' came to mind, but as he rounded the corner, it was merely a standard tavern fight that had spilled over from a side door into the alley. One man was busy lobbing a chair at the other, most likely the one who had emitted the yell in the first place. Shaking his head in disgust, the rider turned and trotted back down the street. His mood soured, he decided to head towards the inn for the rest of the night.
((Yeah, after people liked the interest check, I was somewhat surprised to find not many people joining. Meh, once a few people join, it should get attention in due time.))
(( A technique that I use for naming characters is I take a previous name (Saphira for example,) and constantly tweak it until I find something I like. For instance: Saphira -> Sapiran -> Sakiron. There are also lots of internet fantasy name generators, I use them for writing short stories occasionally.))
may I use your result, please?))
Age: 1793 (Looks like she's in her early 20.)
Race: Elf
Gender:Female
Appearance:
Personality: She's calm and friendly. I don't want to add way too much here as I suck at sticking to one personality.
Biography: Lyra's been living in Elesmera since she was born. her life had always been a playful life, and she loved singing to the birds and listend to their songs. She was a big fan of the strongest magicans and wanted to try for herself. It didn't take long time before she realised that she was quite good at it as well. She continued to train for decades. Reading, then magic. All day for years. She did all she could to understand all the oldest books so she would master an as large variety of magic as posible. Eventualy a dragon picked her and she started to travel through Alagesia, looking over the world from the skies with her dragon. She's currently back in Ellemera though.
Magic Ability: Preferibly energy-magic, but is decent with most kinds.
Fighting Ability: Sword.
Location: Ellesmera
Suggestions: Not realy.
Other: Nope.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Name: Chrislam
Gender: male
Appearance:
Fighting Ability: Preferibly teeth.
Location: Ellesmera with Lyra.
Suggestions: let dragonriders apply with their own dragons like I just did if they want. This should not count towards the number of dragons you accept.
Other: Still nope.
Whichever you choose.
As long as it's balanced well, I will probably accept it. I am going to make an application form for 'unusual creatures'.
Accepted, I'll go make a very limited section for dragon+rider apps.
Accepted.
Glancing at the innkeeper, he ordered a pint of ale. It was watered down, but he didn't mind. As he sipped it slowly, he begun to wonder about his time in Aroughs. Maybe I should go back, he thought. However, he knew that returning to Eragon and training would just bring back memories that he would rather forget. he payed the innkeeper, he walked back outside.
Selkrentys knew that there was work to be done in masonry, but he couldn't stand another day in preparing stones. The energy cost was too great and the pay to low. Looking around the streets, he resumed his task for finding a job.
Gender: ♂
Appearance: He has the same blue scales of his mother, however, he also has bright orange eyes, and a light blue underbelly. His claws are short, but very sharp, and are a jet black color, and he's a little small for a dragon... perhaps he's the runt of the family?
Personality: He has a strong sense of justice, and will not do anything he thinks isn't the right thing to do... he also has no preference for race, and wouldn't be racist to any of them... not even the Urgals. He may be a little picky when choosing a rider, as his egg has already been passed around several towns... obviously, he hasn't hatched yet. He seeks to end all prejudices against all races, and secretly wishes he could have been the one to destroy Galbitorix.
Fighting Ability: He is a decent fighter, and can deal damage with his claws, however, he can't seem to take a hit, unfortunately. He is actually better with using magic, espicially lightning-based magic, as such, he can't be damaged by lightning... however, he does have more than a distaste for the cold...
Location: Aroughs
Suggestions: perhaps a link to a site that has all the elven words... you know, so we can use magic, if we're able.
Other: hmm..... nothing else!
Age: (Not sure how long werecats live for actually, cant remember much about them in the books) Young and playful, Sriffen, In human form, he would look like a 13 year old human boy, but is much older.
Race: Sriffen is a Werecat
Gender: (If applicable.) Sriffen is a male
Appearance: (Not much to go off fom the books, but I got this) Sriffen, in Werecat form, which he is usually in, has light coloured fur, and is clad in light armor most of the time, not trusting the delicate position Alagaesia is in. In human form, he is a small boy, that looks about the age of 13, with light hair, slanted eyes and quite a quiet appearance, looking like a boy who would rather stay in the shadows than socialize with others.
Personality: (Qualities and values unique to this thing.) Sriffen is intelligent, like most of his race, and his knowledge surpasses that of a normal human, and even some elves. He keeps his knowledge to himself, and rarely reveals how much he knows to anyone, his ability to keep his knowledge reserved aiding him in many unforeseen events.
Biography: Sriffen has moved around to many places in his lifetime, living with his chosen companions in many places, from small barns owned by lowly farmers to large palaces with rich kings as residents. The last person he chose to live with, a wealthy merchant, was killed in a disagreement about the cost of the transportation of his goods, and he was left living on the cold streets of Teirm, with no home, money or companions. Despite all the things against him, Sriffen has survived on the streets, and has earned himself some money through various means, be it stealing, or blackmailing, the wealthy occupents of Teirm. Now he is trying to get himself "up the ladder", in any way he can, and hoping to find a suitable companion for him to live with.
Career: (If applicable.) Fortis makes his living in the streets of Teirm, in any way he can.
Location: (What city or area do you currently reside in?) Teirm
Suggestions: (What would make this roleplay better?) Not really All looks good
Other: (Anything else you'd like to add.) Hope I get accepted! Loved the books (The movie not so much) and ive read a few of them more than once. I own a few hardback versions of them, and sometimes when I get bored I just take them out for a book I know I will enjoy .
Name: Chris 'Shadow Walker' Sam
Race: Human/Shade Hybrid
Gender: Male
Age: 2934
Appearance: Black hair, pale skin. Average height. His right eye is a surprising color of green, while his left eye is blood red. Has a strip of black clothe on his head, tilted to cover the left eye. A black, full length coat covers Chris, with the hood up. Underneath, he wears(you guessed it!) black shirt and leggings. Carries a multitude of weapons in the space near him. All weapons are made of bones, with the exception of chains.
Personality: Kind, but scared. Mind you, he isn't usually scared of others. No, more like he is scared to harm the other person. Due to this, Chris never goes full out, whether physically, magically, or mentally. Preferring to stay in the shadows, and staying out of sight, Chris would let the other party strike first.
Biography: Chris was born like any other human. However, Galbatorix saw something within the heart of Chris. A small, secret desire to harm, and cause destruction. As Galbatorix took Chris in, he turned Chrus into a Shade. A shade, given the name 'Shadow Walker'. However, when Galbatorix was defeated, his hold over Chris was gone, and Chris could feel his more, sentimental thoughts. Soon afterwards, he ran out of the castle, and disappeared into the wilderness. He couldn't bear to be near anyone, since he didn't want to cause another being their suffering. It was only recently, that he came back to towns, abeit unsocially.
Career: None
Location: Uru'baen
Suggestions: None
Other: His green eye brightens and darkens, depending on his mood. And if you read book 4, you would know the 'space' that I talk about.Oh, forgot to say, my chat looks like he is 25
Accepted. I'll get a site link for all the elf words.
Accepted! I agree with everything in the "other" section.
Accepted!
