Weaponry: David keeps a broadsword on him at all times. Though it serves its purpose as a sword, it is mostly for ceremonial purposes. Being commander of the city guard, he also has basic knowledge in the use of a bow (though he does not use one unless he has no other choice).
Type: Not applicable
Other: I can’t think of anything to include here…

((Haelan: While your bio is certainly well written, I'm afraid I restrict ancient dragons to dedicated thread members who have roleplayed in this thread on a skilled enough level that I believe they could use such ancient dragons without abusing their abilities and, just importantly, without abandoning the thread. Due to the fact that I cannot assess one's roleplaying skill on a biography alone and that the majority of new applicants regrettably leave the thread in less than a month, I will not allow new applicants to start with an ancient dragon.
Should you choose to apply with with a non-ancient and stay with the thread long enough for me to believe that you plan on staying, I will likely allow you to use this ancient dragon in the future so long as you keep in mind that, as thread currently stands, I do not wish to have ancient dragons taking on a direct role in the roleplay. Rather, I desire the ancients to stay on the sidelines and to play an indirect role, as I plan on keeping them shrouded in mystery for quite some time.
As for the bio itself, it is mostly acceptable. I would need it to include some sort of relative size for the dragon form, as ancient dragons can range in size from as small as a dog to a larger than mountains. I would also need to change the history slightly, as the ancients share a common background that I won't reveal for awhile.
I should also mention that ancient dragons are part of a similar category rather than a race. While ancients can be part of the same species of dragon, this tend to be uncommon.
Storywise, most of our characters are located in the frigid northern reaches of Neuva. Bonos' character and several of my characters are in the Elunian side of Glaruindem.))

"It may be more effective if you claim there is an approaching dragon," Caelidorus said, frowning thoughtfully. "Though it may only be effective in the short term if that dragon doesn't miraculously show up. And of course it would be far from wise to show up with a group of dragons. It doesn't take much to realize that. My worry is just how much influence the Seekers may or may not have. If they couldn't stop you, they might try and find a way to turn it to their advantage..."
"Pah, my kind are known for flying into storm clouds so that lightning may have a higher chance of striking us," Caelidorus retorted. "If my eyes can handle the flash of a lightning bolt, I think I can handle the brightness of snow."
((Conqueror: Your character is approved. Suggestion-wise, I can think of nothing to add.
Haelan: You are more than welcome to submit a non-ancient dragon, if you wish.))

((Yay, thanks Darlantan! I'm kind of out of dragon ideas right now, so I'll submit a custom race character.))
Name: Taika
Age: 213
Gender: Female
Race: The name of this race does not translate well from the native language to English. It roughly translates to "Feline People."
Appearance: Taika' s race is somewhat of a half-cat race, and they have 3 basic forms; Human, Half-human half-cat, and (wild)cat. However, older ones may have a broad spectrum of forms in between these.
In human form, Taika has short black hair, cut roughly to the base of her neck. Her eyes are a reflective gold color, and her pupils are sharp and narrow, like a cat's. Her skin is a light olive color, with a golden tint. She is about 5'6" in height, is and fairly slim. She bears the appearance of a 20-year-old woman. She wears a large, dark blue-green short-sleeved shirt, and black, plain pants. Her teeth and nails are unusually long, even in human form. She has a strange tattoo on her left hand of a cat's eye. Taika has no idea how it got there.
In half-cat form, Taika looks very similar to her human form, and wears the same clothing. However, she has the ears of a snow leopard, but much more pointed. Her teeth and retractable claws have grown a great deal, and are about 1" long. She also has a very long tail in this form, and her eyes are a bit larger. Her cat eye tattoo still remains, but is a bit fainter.
Taika's leopard form is the most different of them all. She has transformed from humanoid to a large snow leopard (about 7'2" in length). Her pelt is thick, and snow white, covered in black leopard spots. Her teeth and claws are now at least 4" long. Her paws are huge, and the odd tattoo has disappeared entirely.
Magic: Most of her now dead race were not very skilled in magic. Some, in fact, could not use magic at all. However, Taika (her name means "spell" or "rune" ) was always gifted in magic. Besides her ability to transform, she can use a strong

fire spell which cloaks her claws in flames. She also can heal minor injuries (Taika is fairly young for her race, and may become stronger with age).
Personality: Taika is rather.... Distant. She treats outsiders with suspicion, and may be driven to act violently towards them if they prove to be a threat. However, their can be benefits to befriending her. She at least partially trusts those she knows, and will ferociously protect them. She is also very creative when it comes to ambush ideas.
History: Taika was born in southern Elune, and does not connect many fond memories with it. Most of her clan (which was rather small) was wiped out by a massive earthquake. The other survivors eventually tuned on her, and blamed her for causing the earthquake, due to her magic ability. She was exiled from among them, and was forced to wander about, defending herself from thieves, and searching for a city to rest in. She at last arrived in Glaruindem, where she now owns a small house.
Weaponry: Taika owns bluish-steel dual swords, which hang from each side of her belt.

"Where did we pack the goggles? Also If I adjust my cloak well enough over my jacket I can have a bit more shielding from the snow. If we had the time we could have by passed buying goggles and I could have put a ward on us to protect ourselves from the snow if I had known about it before we got this far north. Nothing we can do about it now. Just hand me those goggles." said Rhen as he began to adjust his hood over his face as best he could.
~First the cold now blinding snow. I am just glad that after we are done here we can get out of the cold.~ thought Rhen.

In Glaruindem, a convoy consisting of three carriages and ten soldiers passed through the city gates. The soldiers surronded the convoy, offering protection from the crowd of peasants that gathered to view the spectacle. Inside the first of the carriages was the Duke and Duchess of Kelburg. In the second was their son, David, and his fiance, Anne of Goldan. The third carriage contained Annes parents, Lord Tresbon and Lady Tresbon.
Although the exterior of the carriages were covered in gold plates, the interiors were made of wood. David and Anne sat side by side under a fur blanket. They had been travelling for the past three hours to reach Glaruindem. Since the House of Tresbon and the House of Almorga were currently allied, they decided to travel to the party at Glaruindem together.
Anne stared out of the window, watching the city pass by. "I had heard that Glaruindem was some sort of special city. Well I certainly do not see anything special about it." She said.
"I think it's because it is both here and in Neuva at the same time dear." David replied. "Either that or the rumors of the dragon that guards the city."
"Bah, what nonsense!" Anne said. "Why would a dragon guard this city?"
"I don't know darling. They are quite mysterious creatures. Why don't you ask one of them yourself? I saw the guest list. Apparantly there will be a couple of dragons attending the party."
"Is that so? Well, this party should be quite interesting then! It is not everyday that one gets to converse with a dragon."
"Indeed."

I don't see how that could be Caelidorus. How could they manage to spin a dragon attacking Neuva to their advantage? After all, we are talking about their leader. I can't see how they could manage to turn the general public being made aware of Nrilgroth into something benificial for them. Can you think of anyway?" Matt asked.
"You really don't like the cold, do you Rhen?" Matt asked as he fished out two pairs of goggles from the bag of goods. He tossed one pair to Rhen and put the other on. "It is not all that bad. You will be fine so long as you keep well covered and keep your energy levels up. Besides, there is nothing you could do about the snow. We are in Neuva after all. Magic doesn't work here. Not any that I am aware of anyway."

"I know that Matt. And yes I really do hate the cold. But then again I have never really experienced it. As back home the environment inside the city of the watchers was controlled by magic and kept at the perfect temperature. This is my first real time in an environment such as this. I have experienced the mild cold in the city but this is the worst I have experienced. I am just glad that we might not have to be here long and we can get back to where it is less cold." said Rhen as he put on his goggles. "But there is one thing that I am curious about. My arm that is infected has not shown any signs of being effected by the cold. I am curious as to what other elements that this infection is immune against. I am curious yet frightened at the same time. I am frightened because I don't know what would happen if this infection would completely take over my body. But I can worry about that later."
