Elenlond is composed of two continents: Soare and Esiria. Esiria, a land now isolated due to the efforts of the last remaining Goddess, is inaccessible to all beings and lies in the east. Soare, a continent in the west, is composed of three distinct nations: Ashoka, Soto, and Morrim. Lying between the two major continents are the Scattered Isles. Since the dissolution of the pantheon and the fall of the gods, these countries have existed in relative peace and prosperity.

But how long will that peace last?

Well, for now, there's just something that I didn't think to mention when I first wrote the profile. When in dragon form, I was thinking he could have telepathy. Nothing major, just basically can only do it the distance he could shout when in human form, just able to choose who hears it. Personally, I think it makes more sense than just talking like normal... Would it be okay to add this in to his dragon form description?

Unfortunately, no. Telepathy, because it is considered a skill/spell of sorts, would have to be its own ability. Just as telekinesis, clairvoyance, and all other psionic spells are considered as such. At ten posts, however, you could add it.

Now that I've reached ten posts, would it be possible to add the telepathy thing as a new ability?

Of course; just write up a description for it so that one of us can approve it for you. Then you can add it to your profile!

Telepathy When in dragon form, Drake is able to use telepathy to speak. This is essentially the same as normal speech in human form, except with the ability to choose people who can't hear it. The range is about the same as an ordinary shout in human form, and is similar to normal speech for the one hearing it, except with a possible realization that they're not hearing it with their ears if they're paying attention.

I'd like to change a description of an ability. It's not technically an upgrade, more of a change of appearance description for dragon form, but I thought I'd check anyway...

Quote:
 
Drake's dragon form is actually slightly smaller than his human form, though longer, thin and serpentine, built for pure speed. His scales are mostly emerald green, though the ones covering his belly are a lighter green. If you look at his wings, you'll notice that they fade from the green of his other scales to pure white at the very tips. His claws glow white as well.

He is able to fly in open spaces, doing quite well in the air, though even on the ground, he can jump from place to place quickly without flying. He can also breathe fire in dragon form.


I'd like to replace that with

Drake's dragon form is actually slightly smaller than his human form. It looks almost snake-like actually, and is covered with light green scales, though it has four somewhat small legs. The front legs seem almost like arms, ending with what aren't quite hands, three almost-fingers, tipped with small but extremely sharp claws, and one claw sticking out about where the wrist would be when compared to a human's. He can actually grab things with his front claws, but can't really work with them the same way as in human form, lacking thumbs. The back legs are similar, but he can't move their claws.

The emerald-green colored wings are extremely small, and don't actually appear like they would allow him to fly. In fact, the way he moves through the air would almost lead you to believe that he doesn't even use them at all, he almost seems to move in a similar way to a snake slithering, except through the air. Well, considering that the very nature of his having a dragon form at all would have to be magical, perhaps he flies as if magically as well. He is also able to use a fire breath attack in this form.

Wind Blade- Drake summons a one foot long curved blade of wind that he can throw at an enemy with a bit less force than an arrow to cut them.



That good? XD

50 posts! I can now have some intermediate abilities! Yay! XD First, I'm upgrading healing so it's actually useful O_O

Ability Change
Old Ability
  • Healing – Drake is able to use magic to heal the wounds of himself or another. For now, he can't heal much. Maybe he could close a shallow cut or heal a bruise, but he is quite unlikely to have any substantial effect at all on anything truly serious.

Abilities Tied to it – N/A

Replacement Ability
  • Healing [upgrade] – Drake is able to use magic to heal the wounds of himself or another. While he cannot completely heal more serious wounds, he can easily close a large cut, though not completely heal a deeper one, or even mend broken bones. If he has time to really concentrate, he can keep almost any wound from being fatal, though he can't help if someone was pierced through the heart of brain, nor can he get someone to regenerate lost limbs. It is also possible for him to stop the effects of weak poisons, and alleviate minor symptoms of sickness for a time.


And then, a new attack!

Shine Breath- When in dragon form, after about a three second charge time during which his wings glow with a bright white light, Drake is able to unleash a powerful beam of energy toward the opponent, which appears as a bright white light as well. This beam is about one foot wide, and is capable of taking out weaker opponents instantly. Drake can continue unleashing it for up to ten seconds, at which point he will automatically be forced to stop.

Um, you realize that you don't replace abilities, yes? You keep your original ones, but you specify that this is an upgrade by either a) putting [upgrade] in the healing line, b) putting something like II in the line, or c) putting in your profile a heading for intermediate abilities. Nothing should be replaced, unless you're completely reworking an ability.

It's still changing the ability technically, so I figured I should use that code instead of the New Ability one... Whatever, you get what I was asking for though, don't you? Are the abilities approved or not? >_< If not, tell me what I need to actually change, please don't get onto me for a technicality that I really don't think should matter <_<;

It does matter, though, because if you happen to be posting these in your profile, we like to see the ones that came before it, for comparing reasons, and the changes form implies, to us, that you'll be replacing that ability in your profile. For future reference though, please use the new abilities code for new abilities, whether they're upgrades or not. Changes refer to actual changes to a pre-existing one, such as changing your healing spell from a healing spell to a fire ball spell or something of that nature. You may not think it matters, but it does, and that's why I brought it up.

If Drake is preventing a wound from being fatal, what exactly is he doing to prevent that? Healing it a bit? If someone is stabbed through the stomach and is coughing up blood and is sure to die, how would he prevent it from being fatal? Keeping in mind that this wound would be gushing blood and acid into the body. You should probably specify how he accomplishes that.

For Shine Breath I would also specify what a weak opponent is. Someone who can't fight? Someone who is physically fatigued? A small animal? That sort of thing, just to get a general idea of what is considered weak here. "Taking out" something is quite the thing to do with one spell.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind.

Healing [upgrade] – Drake is able to use magic to heal the wounds of himself or another. While he cannot completely heal more serious wounds, he can easily close a large cut, though not completely heal a deeper one, or even mend broken bones. If he has time to really concentrate, he can keep most wounds from being fatal, by closing the wounds and reducing any internal bleeding. He cannot heal someone who has been stabbed through the heart or brain, and he can't regenerate lost limbs.

If someone has a large number of serious wounds and has lost too much blood, he cannot do anything more than alleviate the pain and possibly slow it down a bit. It is also possible for him to stop the effects of weak poisons, and alleviate minor symptoms of sickness for a time.

Shine Breath- When in dragon form, after about a three second charge time during which his wings glow with a bright white light, Drake is able to unleash a powerful beam of energy toward the opponent, which appears as a bright white light as well. This beam is about one foot wide, and strikes life energy directly, causing pain and rapidly exhausting them so they won't be able to move, possibly even killing them if Drake doesn't wish to hold back. More powerful opponents will still feel pain, but Drake won't be able to immediately take them down.

The healing one looks good.

I like the Shine Breath one more, with that added explanation. Just one teeny problem: you took out the weak opponents bit, and now it sounds like you're encompassing any opponent. If you add in the weak opponents again (so instead of saying "them" in the "This beam is about a foot wide..." you put weak opponents and put "such as insert an example or two here" kind of thing), it should be fine. I only say that because by the sounds of it, Drake could kill pretty much anyone he so chose, and at the intermediate stage, it's too powerful.

Oops O_O I thought I had put an example, like 'Your average bandit" but apparently not. How's this one then?

Drake can easily take out about the average bandit with a single blast, though he'll sometimes run across someone that naturally has a bit more life energy, or even a lot more. More powerful opponents will still feel pain, but Drake won't be able to immediately take them down.


Is that a little better? *is failing slightly today*

Alright, time for some more abilities. (I seem to be getting them rapidly O_O)

First, making fire breath as a separate ability, instead of cheating and having it be part of the dragon form ability.

Fire Breath- When in dragon form, Drake is able to unleash a continuous stream of flame for up to twenty seconds at a time before having to take another breath. This enables him to fly past enemies and set them on fire as he flies, which can be useful when, say, fighting a small army of bandits.

Then, I'd like to upgrade his dragon form. Not going to change the description enough to bother showing it here, but I'm going to increase the size to say that it's about one and a half times human form size, rather than being slightly smaller than human form.

And of course, to go with that:

Armored Scales- When in dragon form, Drake's scales act like armor, requiring either precision to stab through where they overlap, or strength to crush through. This enables him to take several slashes in the same place from an average iron sword, wielded by an average strength enemy, though more powerful enemies can still do heavy damage, and it doesn't have much effect against magic, unless it's something like having rocks hurled at him.

Advanced abilities now huh? O_O Well, let me give it a try, see if I can get something that's not too overpowered for this XD

Energy Infusion- Drake is able to give some of his own energy to another person, allowing him to strengthen another mage's spell, or even just let someone who's completely exhausted go on a bit longer.

Magical Strength- Drake is able to focus his magic power through him, allowing his strength to rise considerably beyond what you would expect of a human being. He can potentially dent a stone wall with a punch, though that would be rapidly exhausting if he attempted this, as his magic power drains as long as he is activating this, in proportion to the force exerted beyond normal physical limits.

Magical Speed- In addition to his natural speed he has built for his fighting style, Drake is able to focus his magical power through him, to increase his speed considerably. He can move up to three times as fast as normally possible, but continuous use will rapidly drain power.

I just remembered that I had enough posts for more abilities now O_O; I hope these are okay. I'm not always good at figuring out what works for an ability XD

Wisp- Drake is able to summon a wisp of light, which illuminates the area around him. Drake can increase or reduce the intensity of this light as he wishes, as well as control its movements. This is extremely handy for helping see in dark places (though not so much for stealth) and then there's the added bonus that it can be made to flash brighter suddenly, disorienting those not prepared for it, or even thrown directly at the eyes of an opponent, outright blinding them for a time. This has no real properties to harm anything, except perhaps vampires if he wanted it to, though it normally doesn't.

Enhanced Senses- Drake's senses are magically enhanced to be better than those of a normal human being's. He can now recognize people by scent as well as sight, see or hear something from a further distance away... Then in dragon form, these abilities are even further enhanced, allowing him to hear an arrow zipping toward him from the time it is shot into the air from 50 feet away, seeing gnats fly by at about the same distance...

Enhanced Reflexes- Drake's reflexes are enhanced by his magical power that is within him constantly. This assists in dodging attacks, especially combined with his ability to magically increase his speed, which actually may activate as a reflex in itself to assist this. This won't help him at if he is caught completely off-guard by an attack and doesn't realize that it's coming until it hits, obviously, but it is quite helpful.
