I am considering joining and would like to ask a question (I have read the first two books and heard what was in the 2nd and 3rd from my eldest sibling). I've scoured the Eragon wiki concerning when a dragon and person are bonded if a grown dragon could bond with someone.
The wiki, in multiple places, only says "when a rider first touches his/her dragon." It doesn't say the dragon has to be unhatched or a hatchling to bond with someone, but it only mentions said dragon stages as the ones bonding with people.
Overall: Can someone bond with an adult dragon?
I think it's possible. However, the egg would usually only hatch when the chosen rider came in contact with it. Therefore, they would almost always bond with the young dragon. Although unlikely, it can occur that a dragon is forced out of its egg by magic, and is then not bonded with anyone until it is fully grown.
So it's possible, but it would be extremely unlikely.

DragonWing and I plan to partner up in this rp, where he is already an adult dragon and my character is a rider without a dragon and we meet. What would be your rules regarding an adult dragon bonding with a human in stead of the dragon being a hatchling?
I would allow it without many restrictions, but it would just have to be realistic. The to-be rider couldn't just walk up to an adult dragon and pet it on the snout, in that situation he would probably be burnt to a crisp. Other than that, it's perfectly fine.
Ha right so guessing we are going to start using the OOC thread? As said Uru'baen looks like a nice central location for the whole gang to end up, would be nice to have a better plan for my character. Heh to be honest I picked the starting town at random, just so happens that I was near Epic and Snivy so I decided to go along with them, turned out pretty well I say.
Well, most of the gang. I can't really think of a good reason Concor would go to Uru'baen, what with his goals of going to the training grounds and the upcoming war. Perhaps to get help from Nasuada, but that doesn't really make sense because there are elves better equipped to go to Uru'baen for help from the queen than Concor. Maybe you guys have some ideas? Oh, and while I'm at it, I need to ask: does anyone actually like the little designs I drew (i.e. for the magic vial and mail device)?

I feel kinda lonely all by myself in Cithri...
I have mine as well... Including that terrible post on your other role playing thread.
