Guardians' Dance
Guardians' Dance is an RP inspired by Pern and the upcoming PS3 game, The Last Guardian. The great gryphon-like simourv bond to human riders, working with them to defend the people from the giant reptilian predators, the xymokoxi. We have hatchings, flights, and a pseudo-medieval technology level on a colonized planet, set to evolve toward steampunk.
But we're also a lot more. Simourv can bond to each other, and live without riders or bondeds at all. The kamrov, raptor-gryphon cousins of the simourv, are messengers and guards. The Northern continent of Spiderland is struggling, left vulnerable by the earthquake that decimated their Eyrie and further harmed by the departure of most of their riders for the Southern continent, Baziala. Baziala is ruled locally by the town lords, and totally by the Eyrie's Senior Phoenix, C'elia. But people aren't all content with this, and rebellion is beginning, in the displaced Northern riders and in some of the newest Southern winglets.
Our plots are determined by the members, and all ranks of simourv are decided by the candidate's suitability, not OOC rank. We also have a number of adoptable characters of all IC ranks, and allow temporary characters: playable NPCs, which can be used to include once-appearing characters, fill in a character's family, or test out a character you're considering making.
A flight has just begun, a simourv hatching will be soon, and we're approaching the end of the kamrovs' breeding season. The North struggles to rebuild, and the South looks peaceful for now despite the political and cultural tensions growing beneath the surface.
Things are changing on Pohono. Would you like to lead a revolution? Discover a new pet? Defend the status quo? Invent new technology to let people defend themselves, and render the simourv unneeded? Find a way to link the continents, to allow trade and conflict? The future is up to you.
