« on: April 16, 2013, 10:04:45 pm »Good to know and well, duh.Probably you and God get locked in a court battle for years to come. A 1 would have resulted in your incineration or something.1. Oh.Sue God for contempt of court due to stacking the jury1[/sup, prove that he forged the evidence showing the Serpent's bribery2, child neglect and abuse3, various other forms of neglect4, and of course punishing people for not picking one arbitrary set of beliefs5. Also point out that "I Am God" just makes him more responsible for the results of his actions, as He would know exactly what would happen and could fix it with practically zero effort.Those were witnesses, not jury members. Also I'd rather not get into a humongus debate over sin, God and why he doesn't interfere. Also if I had rolled a 4,5, or 6, things would be different.Spoiler: Footnotes (click to show/hide)
2. Fine by me, but IC I'm still suing God.
3. I'd imagine. Here's hoping I do so--wait, what would have happened on a 3?

Sir.
Yes, Duke Karenthe?
It's that Bridger moron again. He's been causing trouble. And those rumors...of the gold dragon...
Go on!
...It was Abraxus.
...
Sir?
Bridger must die. He's a threat to my image as a trustworthy leader, a threat to human rights, a threat to public safety, and as it turns out, a threat to the metallic dragons. Where is he?
In Duke Ozymandias's realm, somewhere.
The green dragon with an obsession with wind magic?
The very same, sir.
Bring me Oz.
Yes, sir.
In the meantime, send messengers to Xaren, Alkus, and Albior...and Killarn, I guess. I wish to meet with them. (And the other New Order dragons, of course--those are just a few which already has sheets up.)
Of course.
And send for Bamut.
Not a problem. Anything else?
No, further orders will be issued to Bamut. You may go.
Thank you, sir. BAMUT! THE ELDER HAS ORDERS!
You called, sir?
Yes. I have orders...
Firstly, contact the Parliament and the media. Inform them, and by proxy the general public, that a terrorist cell known as the People For The Safety of Beaches are attempting to overthrow the government and replace it with total anarchy. While you're at it, have the media bureau create and distribute videos incorporating clips of the last war, including both lone dragons or small flights massacring humans and battles between flights wreaking devastation on cities below, to show that having a single reasonable dragon in control is far superior for everyone involved to having no force which can control marauding dragons. This will build public support for the government--any government, especially one like ours which treats them well. Also, send patrols composed entirely of indigenous drakes to attempt to determine if there are any other terrorist groups present in the Golden Realm.
...Got it. Anything else, sir?
Um...yes, now that you mention it. I do believe it is time for us to perform a central, anonymous poll to determine the public's greatest needs, desires, and fears.
Anything else?
Not for the moment.

Welcome, Duke Ozymandias.
O revered Elder, I am graced to be in your presence. What may I do to be of service to you?
Alright, the recording devices are off; we can speak normally.
Thank Tia--sorry, sir.
I may be agnostic, but I support freedom of religion. Thank whomever you like.
Certainly, sir. What caused you to summon me?
Look at this.
...Is this a dragon?
Half of one. Not alive.
...Did you know him?
Yes. He was one of my descendants--great-great-grandchild, triple-great...I didn't know him that well--after so many millenia, you lose track of your progeny.
I hope I live long enough to experience that.
As do I; you're quite reasonable for your kind.
Thank you, sir.
Do you know who killed her?
I'd heard something called the Something for the Protection of Beaching or something, lead by an archmage...but I don't have conclusive proof of much.
I do. The People For The Safety of Beaches, they are, supposedly lead by an "archmage" of some sort...though I find this improbable.
Yes?
I am giving Dukes greater powers for the purpose of apprehending terrorists. This is primarily for your use; I'm trusting you to both use discretion and to keep an eye on others. Inform me if they are being abused.
Is there anything else?
Just details, but you can read those later. You flew all the way to the Windy City; we might as well chat. How's your lovely mate?...

« on: April 16, 2013, 09:14:37 pm »I'll melt your scales off, you pretty new mascotGold dragons are immune to fire, you nitwit!
Feathered Serpents are Poison, European Dragons are Fire, Chinese Dragons have no breath power according to the books but make up for it by being the best flyers ever/more intelligent then other dragons, save for the Celestial, which has that sonic wind attack thing. There's only about 10 of those, though. Uhh...anything I miss?Wyverns are probably poison, there's a bunch of weird things like basilisks and the tarrasque (the mythical one, most likely), the pinnea, gargoyles, etc, that may or may not count, and now that I've been accepted, there's various types of Gygaxian "true" dragons, as well as possibly dragon turtles, pseudodragons, etc.
Speaking of them, is Xaren a gold dragon?
-----
Um, Zanzetkuken, is my nation on the same level as the other nations or is it an order of magnitude weaker? There's UNNE, which has more than 10 times as many dragons as I have humans, for instance. Should I increase my population 10 times, or my population 100 times and my area to the whole US, or something?

Name: The Elder Wyrm
Gender: Male
Breath attack: Fire or Weakening Gas
Affiliation: Draconic World Order
Appearance: About the size of a house, with golden scales, four legs, two finlike wings, catfishlike "whiskers", etc. A gold dragon, basically.
Character Bio: The Elder Wyrm is among the oldest dragons alive, with over three millenia under his belt. He remembers when his kind, the metallic dragons, was seen as the wisest of all dragons; he remembers how they were planning to make the transition slowly and painlessly for the humans, rule justly. He remembers how their allies, the chromatic dragons, betrayed them for the glory of their dread goddess, Tiamat. He remembers once having believed in divine beings who made sure justice was done in the end, and the day he looked into the sneering face of a red dragon backed by flights of wyverns and Westerns. He remembers the day he surrendered, losing dignity for the good of his race. He remembers centuries spent plotting against those who remembered and cared his "treachery," as they called it, and securing his hold over an area of land where he moved around the start of the 18th century. He remembers acting as a "sleeper agent" among the humans to give himself an excuse for caring about them. He remembers fighting for his right to rule the humans well. He remembers all this and more. All in all, he is disillusioned with much of dragonkind and hopes that the humans can regain their rights. This is, of course, impeded by those idiotic, violent rebel groups that make it so hard to convince the other dragons that the humans deserve and can be trusted with those rights...His plan is to destroy those violent groups and wait a couple more centuries to convince the other dragons that the humans can be trusted.
