I've had dragons on the brain lately. And while I'm not feeling inventive enough to create a new universe to expand on the idea with, Dragon Cave offers a good jumping off point. Their forums offer an RP section, but their is a method of approval to get into a given topic, and all the better stories are booked full. I figure there isn't any harm in a little spin-off taking place here. dragcave.net/ - the main site dragcave.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Cave_Wiki - the official DC Wiki, offers a guide to all the different breeds dragcave.net/user/grayorca - my scroll, for an example of what their game is I don't have a clear idea of what the plot is yet; I have only inklings so far. The perspective could be from the dragons, the outcast humans that tend them, or a mix of the two. At the moment I just thought to offer up something different. |

That sounds interesting, but I'm not too familiar with the Dragon Cave.

The premise is very open-ended. What I'm suggesting is borrowing the basic idea of Middle Age era humans that, for their own reasons, choose to raise dragons rather than live a normal life. Elements such as plot, settings, time of year, elements or themes are all a matter of our own devising. DC's various breeds of dragon offer varying possibilities for every dragon tender. Some would be given to working with small, pygmy breeds. Others might raise only herbivorous kinds. Some could specialize in kinds that come from a certain habitat.
For instance, with regard to my scroll, I have only raised one vampire dragon, dubbed Kadesh's Loss, from egg to adult. A possible backstory for him would be that upon maturation, he took to preying on the eggs and hatchlings of his "clan" (which is on par with the vampire dragon's official breed description). This resulted in his banishment from their immediate ranks, but he continues to raid their nests when hunger drives him to do so. His former human caretaker knows of this, and despite her affection for having helped raise him, she cannot keep this knowledge to herself without offending her other charges' trust in her.
And that's as far as I've gotten. I have small backstories for other select dragons on my scroll, but as far as an RP goes, I'm interested to hear if anyone else has input to add.

Would it only include Dragon Cave breeds from an RPer's scroll or could they add OCs of other species?

I'd think access to make a character from any breed would be fine. Just as long as we don't go overboard will too many rare breeds.

I could give it a try, but like I said I'm not too familiar with the Dragon Cave.

After a few days of thought, I think I have a plausible introduction. To start, we could keep things simple. I'll give a general description of the setting in combination with my first character, Kadesh, and how vampire dragons like him figure into this world. If you have any questions after that, we can address them here. Sound good?
