For millions of years dragons lived, staying in peace with each other. Until they were attacked by evil alien. The battle waged on for centuries until finally the dragons were forced to surrender, give up the world they loved so much and become slaves of the evil alien race known only as the Amarthinats. Luckily a space ship escaped with 10 dragons on it hoping to repopulate a new world. These mighty dragons wound such a beautiful, lush world that would suit their needs. Only one thing kept them from populating the world. It was already populated. This all happened long ago, shortly after the beginning of the world, When the ten mighty dragons came to this world and looked at it, at first it appeared to be a wonderful world to live in, but on closer inspection it was disorderly, messy and a all around horrible place to live. The dragons, knowing they could not live here decided to bring balance to this world for those who did. They became the ten Balancer Dragons. There was the dragon of the air, an illustrious & beautiful dragon who loved to spend her time relaxing in the clouds and the earth dragon, a silly, lighthearted dragon who enjoyed agriculture and playing in the mud. Next came the Boulder and Water dragons. The Boulder Dragon was a fierce military leader tough and rugged he never had time to be silly and fun. He, had a race of creatures who were a result of his own creation. They were named the Rashik� s. They were tall gigantic creatures that often sat in one place for millions of years, unmoving. They were kaki colored rocky textured monsters and they were a peaceful loving society. Unfortunately for them, Some Rashik's turned bad almost killed of the entire race making them very rare and now no longer peace loving. The Water dragon on the other hand spent all her time deep in the lakes and oceans searching out coral reefs and marveling at the intricate beauty of the sea. After them were the dragons of day and of night. the dragon of Day was a good friend of the Boulder Dragon, they were both gruff military leaders, except the Dragon of the Day had a sense of humor about him, and loved to laugh, for to him there was never a bad time for a joke. The Dragon of the Night was by far the rebellious teenage daughter of the dragons. A sexy scandalous dragon, she often disguised as a beautiful human woman and roamed the metropolises of the night tempting and tricking men into her net of deception then dumping them by the light of day. The dragons of Life and Death held the world in constant cycle. The Dragon of Life glowed a radiant gold and was admired by all the other dragons, who liked to play peek-a-boo with her, the Dragon of the Life was a baby. On the other hand the dragon of Death was an old wrinkled, its black scales no longer having the shine they once did. The last two Balancer Dragons were those of Ice and Fire. The Dragon of Ice was an attractive, yet cold (in more ways that one) dragon, who spent her time grooming herself and living in her private world of vanity. She had a race of creatures formed by ice and half pixie, named the Xcaitl, who did not worship her. This had caused some great disputes and formed the Alliance of the Xcaitl an alliance of the bulk of the Xcaitl race, united against finding or breeding a new Ice Dragon who would suit the Xcaitl needs. The Fire Dragon was a bold, courageous and valiant dragon, who fought with skill and knowingness. When not in battle he was a nice, approachable Dragon who was a good friend to all who knew him. He was quite simply put the best of the Dragons. The strongest, the kindest, the bravest. Every thing that is required and more in the qualities of a steadfast true blooded dragon. After thousands of years of holding the world in balance the Dragons became tired and worn out from their trials and tribulations of holding a world in constant balance, they became tired but still they must hold a world in balance. They didn�t know what to do so they decided to vote. Should they leave this world behind and lets all its inhabitance die along with it, or should they stay and save them. The vote was cast and the 10 Dragons tallied up the votes. There were 6 votes for leaving. The death, life, ice, day, boulder and air dragon wanted to go only the water, earth, night and fire dragon wanted to stay. The earth water and night were disappointed but lucky for the people of this world, which was named Kyou, the Fire dragon convinced everyone to stay. Instead of keeping the world the world in perfect balance, they taught the people of Kyou how to do that themselves, then the dragons rested. 1000 years later as the dragons enjoyed a happy day, provided by the day dragon, in their lofty castle in space�formerly their spaceship the fire dragon hadn�t woke up yet so the ice dragon went to get him and when she walked in his room where he was... He was dead. Sliced open right down the middle with blood everywhere. No one ever found the killer but now with out fire there is only ice ice over the whole world. There is nothing that the dragons can do, they look down on the world and weep for the lost fire dragon and now how their precious Kyou is slowly tuning to an icy hell. But now, a rumor has spread that there is a lair in the far reached of the world where not even the dragons can reach where there is the reincarnation of the fire dragon- and you a lowly traveler have decided to seek out that lair and make the world whole again. -------------- This meassage board based game where you can design your character almost head to toe.
