Casual Stroll - An Introductionary RP mainly around Equestria OOC [Open Entry For All]

[Blitz Boom 4,652]

@Widdershins

Fair criticisms, and as for design, it was on the fly. Though you may have also realized that I do tend to over-explain how something looks. This comes from too many years RP'ing, and a general want for my posts to be filled. Hence, it is a slight kind of padding. Though the golden rings and such do have meaning, hence why I thought it was best to mention them regardless.

The important one I latch on to here though, is this:

14 hours ago, Widdershins said:

My point here being... if you introduced yourself as: "I'm the Draconequus Spirit of War & Bloodshed. But war has been pretty lax these days so I put that on the backburner for now and reformed. I just run a nice spa in downtown Detrot these days." ...where does... that leave you then? A Draconequus acting against its central concept should, arguably, cause its existence to either overwrite or delete itself from the fabric of reality. But this does work alot better with certain embodied concepts then others. Think you did well with yours, Fear takes many forms indeed.

Fright is kind of a *Every medal have two sides* entity. Back in her heydays - or Haydays, if you wanna Equestria it up - she took part of the fear from others, to make them real, and scare the living Tartarus out of them. Yet what then happens, if she only does it partially? She takes the fear away, but rather than manifest it, she holds it, and feasts off of it, in it's raw, purest form, rather than making others more afraid by their own nightmares, to then eat off of that. There is still fear, yet she drains it away, and consumes it. When she leaves someone, they will have their fear bubbling up again, as she isn't there the harvest it anymore.

That is what her temple is for. Because she knows that fear is a constant, and you can never be truly fearless, she teaches those who have much of it, to come to terms with it. Overcome, and accept their fear, so they aren't controlled by it. There still many out there who is afraid of various things, and she can still do things her own ways, but she choses to utilize her skills, in a way that keeps her well fed, yet also helps others.

You have played with duality yourself before, when you discussed how chaos, had it's own kind of order.  And as there is fear, then so must there be peace.

Her form were once much simpler, yet she choses to show herself this way, for two reasons:

1. She really likes spiders.

2. Many creatures are afraid of spiders, the undead, ghosts, and things such as that. Looking the way she does, she provokes a fear response, which she then latches unto, and grips out of sight, causing the ones she interacts with to be at peace. Sure she could take what they have deeper, but that would require her to witness what they truly fear, and she attempts to not do so. Making them scared of her, is a more simple approach to things.

As you can see, if you have seen how her temple is though, her innermost sanctum, are still a little slice of what she truly is. A haunting presence, sitting within a spooky forest, filled with creatures lurking just out of sight.

As a spoiler of sorts, the golden rings represents something important for her too. Others of her kind that she have met, and helped to not change radically per se, but rather find another way to utilize what they are, in the grand scheme of things. Avarice for example, have become an efficient financial planner. Sure they still gets a hungry look in their eyes, when they see the payment for their services, and yes, there is a bit of a kleptomania issue still, but it's preferable to causing communities to become obsessive, infighting hoarders, whilst clawing to themselves everything that they thinks belongs to them.

The duality in nature, is what Fright is about and she represents the strange harmony that can come, from utilizing things from several angles. She's happier like this. Plus, she's been promised to not be turned to stone, long as she doesn't revert, so that's an incentive too. She doesn't wanna be the next Discord.

As for how she were made, it might not even be true. It's just what she assumes were the case, based on what little she gathered about it, and what stories were told. Could also be she were just hatched from a rotten chicken's egg, somewhere in a forest. Discord would likely know, but he didn't overly like her back in the day. Not interested in having his own fears used against him and all that.

@UI Tails

Hey there. Sorry for taking some time, but was a long day at work yesterday, and then things just kinda went off the rails today too.

I'm afraid that you're likely not gonna like what I write though, which is that what I can see there, I can't see being functional. Not just in this thread, but in general in RP.

Now, the primary reason for this is not the cross universe usage of an established character, although that is a wrinkle that'd need more details to explain (like, why would Tails have a cutie mark? He's not a pony). The primary issue is that there is really nothing there to show a character. It appears to be a voice inside the head of a narrator, which could work in an ask blog for sure, but in an RP, where there's a need to actually have a character in the setting, it doesn't seem like it'd function. Unless you're thinking like, draconequui that can see past the fourth wall, though that may still be a bit of a stretch.

That being said, perhaps it is just because the details are rather scarce there, and there actually is a character of some sort there. SO let's try and talk this out, and see what happens. Perhaps we can make this work in some capacity.

So, gonna need some information on the character itself, and then if I may, a few suggestions?

1. I would strongly advice not to use an already established character. A mobian is what it is, but perhaps in some fashion, try and make him your own now? Say, you claim he's what, combined with a demon or something at this point? (again, were unfortunately a little vague), so he could have a more distinct look than Tails, yet with blood. You can go on with that, but the reason why I always advice an original character, is because established ones have lore and a personality, which means there's less freedom to make it as you wish to.

1.a A side note here: It's a usual thing to have beings thrown into the Equine world, turn into equines. Perhaps take advantage of that in this situation? A two tailed pony with extra fuzz, stumbling around due to a body he isn't comfortable with, could work well as a sort of way to begin interactions, and go along with story.

2. When it says he merged with You, is that as a narrator, or person? Because either way, I would very much, highly discourage that from being a thing in an RP. Self inserts tend to be problematic (which is why most make equinised versions of themselves, or exaggerations of traits of their personalities), and lead to various issues. And a narrator cannot be present in an RP, as a narrator is inherently an incorporeal voice, just commenting on what is going on.

Instead of you, personally, could it not simply be a human. One that may be based on you, but without being so. Say... Demons are in a sense, multi-dimensional beings, as infernal realms can be seen as other dimensions. Hence, being killed by one, could have said soul be dragged towards that other dimension. Who were to say then, that something would not go wrong, and it would instead be flung out, tearing into another world, and creature. A possession of sort, before the momentum would then throw the both of them further, into another world, where there'd finally be a halt then.

It's not perfect, and it does require some open minds, but it is an idea at least, off the top of my head.

What may your thoughts be on things?

[Maurice AKA Phan. Sonic 153]

@Blitz Boom I might suggest a different character then. Give me a few minutes.

@Blitz Boom

 I mean, in the short of it. if you're going to attempt to be symbolic you kinda have to do so all the way. Or be vague and simple about it.

 Alot of things can mean alot of different things to alot of people. You can try your best and still have an observer go like "Pfft, that's not my experience with fear at all, so its not scary to me, personally." I think alot of kids' shows and stuff have covered that. Like the Boggart from Harry Potter, there's always going to be some the "magical being that preys upon the fears of its victims" goes after that really only fears immediate, petty things like a harsh teacher or their scolding parental figure... that's just super easy to combat for anyone by that one victim. Or what you do in the form most scary to that particular victim is quite limited because... well, its Fear. It's not supposed to make sense. A lot of people aren't afraid of something actually damaging them, they're afraid of having to deal with it or actually just see it. If you ask me, a huge, often ignored part of Fear is in the actual dealing with it. Which you've certainly included! I may not know much about the Yellow Lantern Corps, but there's more to embodying Fear then just being a threat and making others experience it for a while.

Oh, which does remind me of a question. Is she specifically fear, or specifically the draconequus spirit "of Fright?" 

....man, I really want a "Draconequus Spirit of Having a Yummy Snack Break."

               "Mmm! This apple is delicious AND healthy!"     "....You're... not very intimidating."    "Hey, who said we draconequus had to be?"

 

 Now that I think on it, it takes work to weave a spirit-like, magical, somewhat-lordly Draconequus. For one, as i've said, there really isn't any limit or defined description of them, and that's intentional. What a Draconequus ISN'T is an excuse to just poof magic stuff around and be silly. You can do that easily with any pony. Look at Pinkie Pie! And she isn't even fully a draconequus yet!

 Avarice, Greed & Gluttony are completely separate concepts. You can ask any biblical scholar. Avarice is wanting power or wealth. And either of those can exclude the other. You can be gluttonous over non-edible things too. Gluttony is specifically taking more then you really need and thereby wasting most of what you take. If your goals are to, say, take over the land and supplant the government under your own rule as traditional Villain tactics... you're going to need every amount of power or money you need. If you're like one of those Captain Planet Eco-Villains and you're amassing money and/or power specifically because you simply like ruining the lives of others so you can hear them complain about how polluted the place is... then yeah, that's far more Gluttony than Avarice. And Greed can count as all of the other two, yet also not. Sometimes you can be Greedy for good reason, or you're fearful and overcompensating for your own perceived risks. Like Scrooge, withholding the little resources you have because you've lost faith in all others and the outside world. Which is being a Miser or Miserly.   ...which is entirely seperate from the concept of Misery yet somehow conjoined in origin somehow...

(English is screwy.) But such wide, yet finite variations in meaning & intent is a major reason I chose Draconequus. Such have been a long time thought obsession of mine, heh.

Which is why I picked Confusion as mine. Chaos is the Cause, Confusion the Effect. Chaos is an environment you walk into. A being can act chaotic, or you can feel overwhelmed because the place you're at is chaotic, but that's all up to individual interpretation. When you're aware of what's around you, but you're Lost in thought, Lost as what to do, or Lost as to how to accept your surroundings or what to do and what to act... Doubt how to continue, Doubt in your own abilities or Doubt in the trust of your friends and who you once knew... That's Confusion. And its alot more personal.

..........

  W-wait... Was I intended to be the "Draconequus Spirit of Doubt & Loss?"

...Well, yeah. But that's alot more of "Grief"'s department and I wanted to be more Humor and leave the sadness to those more capable of expressing it. Each reacts to their own issues differently, and I took the route of manic over-expression & disassociation. A large part of the reason Widdershin's thing about Pancakes is because it's his brightest, most concrete memory that one time a beloved friend said he made good pancakes.                           ...so now he beats people to death with pancakes.

  Hey now! I've only killed seven people with random, on-the-street-muggings by force feeding them pancakes!  ...maybe eight. It's kind of hard to aim for the mouth sometimes.

 

 In retrospect, i'm aware "Facehugger Flavor" pancakes was an obvious bad idea.

[Blitz Boom 4,652]

Will respond to things here in the OOC tomorrow. Today's been hectic. And the RP itself will resume from next week. The weekend is filled with stuff to do for me. Sorry for the delay.

Good weekend.

@UI Tails

I've seen that now, and I still wonder, why is it a pure Mobian? It seems an odd choice to go for pure cross universe in this manner, and again, with an already established, cannon character from another show.

Perhaps we can still make it work, but we need to talk over some details. Such as a bit more story-wise, how he ended up in Equestria if it is. I assume it have something to do with a portal, as dimensions are cannon in this world. That being said, are you sure I can't convince you to at the very least, make a mobian of your own design? You don't need to draw something, but a description of one, with your own name, would likely work better than a highly cannon character like this. Plus, it'd be easier to sell off the age, since as far as I know, Oglevy (Sonic's actual name) is older than ten.

I'd like to accommodate things, but certain things just makes it... Problematic, as it'd start to go into the absurd a little. And yes, I do acknowledge we have draconequui, and absurdity isn't exactly far off from them.

She is the Spirit of Fear. Her name though, is Fright. It sounded better.

Avarice is never going to actually show up. It's just meant as background, and I thought of it more broadly, than scholarly. Avarice is, to quote the dictionary on it "Extreme greed for wealth or material gain". Now Gluttony is another matter, where that one were mentioned merely for pure background, without much in the way of thought on how to present them. If it came up, I'd find something out there.

But to return to Avarice, I just went by the pure definition I found, and then built a minor piece from that. If you saw him, he'd probably struggle mentally still, with not nicking various bits dropped on the street. That sort.

And it's one that fits you well, no doubt about it. Yet I randomly made this one up on the spot, and I stand by her.  Still is a draconequui, and therefore won't be used a lot by me, unless needed, but she have her usages. As does Anomaly, whom will confuse Fright greatly, as Fright remembers the one Anomaly was *extracted* from, more or less. A sibling that will cause her great confusion.

...I may have accidentally written in how Widdershins would meet her actually, but I swear, it was an accident! Regardless though, your criticisms are valid mate. I will not change her though, but it will come into consideration if I mention Avarice again, as an example, and gives things to think about going forward. And that's never a bad thing. Always good with opposing viewpoints, so one can come to learn from one another, and perhaps draw inspiration, or see something that simply cannot work.

Grief is creepy. He hangs around cemeteries, mortuaries, and funerals, with a large straw and popcorn. Best to stay clear of him.  Hehe.

And have you considered some help for the pancake thing? I'm sure that with a few centuries of therapy, Widdershins will eventually move on, and instead force feed others more varied things. Like pancake-shaped brownies, for instance.

@Blitz Boom

 So, ah, I mentioned you in our rp entry with @Sekel (I'm sooo sorry it's taken literal months to respond! I think that was right when I was moving!) on account of involving your dragon & Pony couple too. You'll have to interject and find a way for Kaltrop and Dawn Streak to meet your characters. Ask for directions and the lot, I suppose.

 See, I kind of figure its cannon that dragons run a more loose, tribal society. Most likely to counter the touchy-feely, Friendship, over-social culture ponies have where its kind of expected to "small town" know everypony. In dragon culture (a more manly culture, I might add!) its apparent that the "teenager" stage dragons are more left on their own and when they grow older and more quadrupedal, they tend to live on their own in caves and such. It's been said in the show dragons tend to come together only when their Leader directly calls every individual for something important. Like... their scales apparently count as pagers for some reason. Anyway... from this I feel I can be rightfully deduced...

 Familial ties are rare. That dragons consider themselves first and if somedragon else doesn't survive then that's at most a shame in bad news. If Twilight could get an egg stolen for her to prove her magical filly prowess and no mother dragon launched an attack on Canterlot to get her egg back... its probably sufficed to say its every dragon to themselves. Like in your case, Blitz, if dragon parents heard their son was going to go off and be a blacksmith or guard in pony towns, they'd sneer at it likely but not do much more then show their disapproval by not bothering to keep in contact.

I don't intend on writing in Kaltrop's mother. He was probably one among several eggs in a clutch and the mother gave him up for lost and at most would find it neat he wound up surviving and offer no sympathy.

On the other side, he was the practice egg for Sunset Shimmer. I don't know much about her, but if she was as much a prodigy as Twilight was, she probably hatched an egg that shared her coat pattern too. And that hatchling was probably kept for a few years before she did whatever it was that got her banished by Celestia to the human world. So he would know what she looks like, but not remember her name, and she probably only remembers him as a few years project & assistant before she got banished.

 I thought it was an interesting backstory plothook. I've no idea how we could incorporate Sunset Shimmer but... 

[Blitz Boom 4,652]

@Widdershins

I'll work the two of 'em into this.  Worry not.

As for how you see dragon families, I personally think it varies. Benny's family for instance, is actually one that cares about one another. His mother were not an easy lady to impress, but after his father win her favor, she have become rather possessive of him, and does care for their kids as well. It just have a certain air of aloofness over it at times, due to her pride. Him and his siblings though, are like siblings are. His older sister for example, likes top swoop down on him when he flies, and push him down into a river, or some soft underlayer. Another of his older, larger brothers, tends to pick him up by the tail, and take him along, slung over his shoulder. Benny's the baby brother, so he gets treated as such, just with the added thing that dragons play rougher, as they are more hardy.

And he didn't go to proper Equestria to specifically look for a blacksmithing job. He went to meet with Pop, after they had exchanged letters for a long time. After their date where he were more or less a nervous wreck, and fumbled around at times, he went and moved to Equestria proper, to be near her. Canterlot seemed like the right place to go for finding out what sort of work there were to find, and then he got beaten out of the sky by accident, and ended up amidst the guard's training area. A lot of chatter over the whole misunderstanding later - helped that he was a pushover, giving up instantly - the former head blacksmith asked into what he knew about blacksmithing, and things just sorta evolved from that. Although these days, Benny only have 2 assistants in the main forge. They're the only two that can handle the scorching heat of the forge anymore. Though they're also somewhat crazy, so most are happy that they're sectioned off most of their time, when they're working. Means they don't have to hang around them.

You know, Kirins really are adorable ponies. Like, more than other ponies, lol

 That last stallion is pretty darn close to Whett Kindle, my OC that is. If that helps any!

 Just Kirins have a bit of a nasty self-defense mechanism, they can be a bit tempermental!

 Hope I don't come off wrong to your character, @Blitz Boom! Maybe I can take tips from you on having "explosive" OCs! I kind of am aiming for the quirkiness of your bomb filly! I wouldn't blame Cover Up none for his alarm though~

[Sekel 696]

@Blitz Boom & @Widdershins

If I interject with this idea, it could be pretty fun for Dazzle to meet up with both pairings of Benny and his mare (forgot her name) and Kaltrops and Dawn. She's basically proof that dragon/pony couples can succeed and be a thing. Even if she got lost and her parents are most definitely worried sick about her. Although getting Long Stare to go along with Dazzle could be a bit of a chore. Maybe a tour of the town could work and they bump into the couples talking?

[Blitz Boom 4,652]

@Sekel

@Widdershins

It shouldn't be an issue really. Stare doesn't mind walks. There were a time when she spend most time in her garden, peering over the bushes, but were not confident enough to approach others, but it have changed. However, she still doesn't approach a lot, since she moves so quietly, that she tends to spook others. It is a semi-common customer complaint at her job at Sloppy Joe's, but Straw wholesale ignores it, as he values his employers. Same reason the complaints regarding Chop looking scary, Alonsus being sometimes too brazen and theatrical for others to deal with, and Berry's conspiracies making some think she's crazy, is mostly dealt with by him saying "We all got a thing. Ain't harming anyone".

Besides, her sister is at the inn. Just ask her if they couldn't go and visit her, and hear if she have some clue yet as to her parents.  They could run into the others on the street where Benny just crashed.

Hey there. Sorry for not responding earlier, were visiting family (also the reason I haven't been responding a few days in the RP. Will start up again tomorrow, or Monday. Depends on work)

Anyway, the general way we do things, is that you come here and say hello, then show us your character profile, and then we'll see if we can't find a spot for you.

Will have a look soon. Hopefully tonight. As for @Kujamih, thanks for the help in guiding our new arrival through.

@Imperium

Okay, that is one detailed bio. Top grades for that.

Going through a bit at a time. First off: Magic and dragons.

I am actually working under the cannon that some dragons can indeed use magic. I am classifying it though, that the normal variety, are elemental based. Like fire-aligned dragons and fire, wind aligned, etc. The four major schools being Wind, Water, Fiore, and Earth, with The various dragon subtypes (even non-magical) having certain traits more pronounced with them. Like wind aligned ones being better fliers, generally slimmer, and more aloof in nature, whilst water aligned ones are territorial, pretty emotional, have gills, and tend to keep in packs to themselves in the ocean around the Dragon Lands. Fire aligned ones are more arrogant, aggressive, and can withstand enough heat to use lava pools as pools. And of course, have stronger fire. Earth aligned ones are the ones more likely to get physically impressive, yet also tend to get wings the last, and are stubborn as all heck. It's hard to change their minds on things.

Hence, I find your idea to be an interesting variation. I currently own 2 magical dragons. One called Leviathan, who're a mixture of a water and wind aligned dragon, who refer to herself as a Storm Dragon. She uses weather magic, such as making thunder, cause hail, or cause small hurricanes. She's used to living in pony land, and have a tendency to hoard valuables. Not gold and such, but things with personal value to others. Like teddy bears, wedding rings, etc. She's currently in use with another pair of dragons, owned by @Catpone Cerberus. Maybe you could join there? Though of course, his input is important too.  His dragons are from outside Equestria, and not connected to the Dragon Lands either, if it is of interest.

I also have one currently not in use. An earth aligned one, able to also use magic. She is more level headed, though she does not like Dragon Lands, as she have essentially been banished. In a nice way, but the message were still essentially that she shouldn't return. As a scholar, she found a sealed container in the ocean, with information of a kingdom long past, that seems to have connection to both dragons and ponies, and dragons - being prideful as they are - did not much care for her. She were kept around regardless in a specific camp, as she were useful in setting up defenses, as she's smart, but she have now been more or less, officially banished. She's annoyed by it, but she never liked the others to begin with, including her family, so she doesn't care. Frankly, she likes it better in Equestria. If you want a more one on one, that one could be useful.

Both are not much taller than ponies though. If you want a large one, I do have a friendly elder dragon, that's so large that a pony tends to be smaller than one of her smaller claws. Normally she helps around the docks in Deltrot, as she enjoys the company, but she could be on a trip. Old Gretha is what she calls herself, and she is technically banished, but mostly just from a minor disagreement with Ember. A few decades and they'll get over each other well enough to let that be in the past, and as she is several millennia, that is hardly any time for her.

If you want other tall ones, I also have a Sphinx, with mood swings towards the depressed at times.

As for alchemists, I have one zebra, and one who trained with zebras, who are both alchemists. Though that Last one is played along with @Starforce currently, so input there too. If you want to know more, just ask, of course.

Anyway, moving along to more stuff... 

The rest of the story is interesting, and I like it. Based on that, you get an approved sticker.  You spelled out the powers well, and it doesn't seem overpowered, though I'd like to ask about what potential limitations there might be? Like, a limit on the magic, or some sort of overall weakness? Not gonna use it against you, just always good with some balance, right?

SO, what're your thoughts on things thus far? And how'd you like to get into the RP? Cause you're fully cleared in my book.

Hey mate, you alright? Not seen you in a while, and were starting to get interesting.

First of all, allow me to say thank you very much for fully taking the time to look into my Character Sheet, along with your wonderful compliments. It truly means a lot to me that I have been awarded top grades for the Bio right off the bat. 

In regards to elemental aligned magic dragons, that I am in agree with and follow the same path and idea as you. I followed mainly the elements of Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth upon research and mainly based on the many different colours of the mentioned creatures during the series. Which is why I mentioned in my Dragons bio that he originally started out in a Red Dragon Egg, indicating that he was supposed to have been a Fire Aligned Dragon. However, due to the Magical Storm and the lightning stuck his egg before he hatched, which absorbed the magic, it completely altered the egg, as well as the dragon itself. So now my Dragon is not a Fire Aligned dragon, but instead a Pure Magic aligned dragon due to the circumstance from his history.

From your two magical dragons, to your zebra, Elder fire dragon, Earth aligned dragon, or even Pony characters, I will be more than delighted to engage in jolly roleplay cooperation with you as well as anyone else who wish to interact with my character. The theme of my dragon revolves around the art of adapting personality wise; although showing the classic dragon behaviour, he can change in accordance to the situation and take on a more friendlier approach due to having learnt the pony way of life from his mentor. Plus with the spell of allowing him to change his size from big to small and vice versa, it can allow even more free room to mingle and talk to such characters from a one to one, or group basis.

For spell limitations, I actually tend to follow the guidelines of D&D. I.e. Speaking Telepathy with a total radius range from 50-100 meters and can traverse through walls, but it can only works with characters he has met and cemented an official friendship with that character (seeing as how he is a Pure Magic Aligned Dragon, and "Friendship is Magic"), can only change sizes from big to small and in opposite format at least three time a day, etc, etc. You know, making sure that the spells are not overpowered and keeping relatively rare to unique feeling a Pure Magic Aligned Dragon. Which is why I am also in agreement to ensuring balance and limits to my character for the sake of fairness and goodwill.   

My thoughts thus far is simply thus; I am more than ready and looking forward to roleplay with everypony and creature in Equestria.

Of course, of course.  When the time comes, we need to think of what part of the family comes first, as I have some links to work with for her siblings. One working for her sister, and one for her brother. So sorta depends on your thinking about this sort of thing. Also, thoughts on @Imperium? Alchemy was one aspect touched upon.  

=======================================================

 

@Imperium

Well it's good to have you on board.  We'll still need to find some sort of entrance point for ya though, so... Maybe we should start with it as solo, until someone jumps in and says they'd like to crossover? If so, my scholar dragon is likely the best bet. She lives in the Everfree Forest, and there are some various dragons gathering up by now in Ponyville. They could well have a chat, and then go to town, so that we'd be set up for one big, dragon-centric thing later on, if it were.

Some more details on her: She's named Nerzhei, and spends most of her time in her cave, carefully reading through her tomes. Especially the one with the ancient history I mentioned, which is a long, tedious process to translate, as it contains ancient draconian, equine, and some unknown tongue she barely have a way to decipher at all. Mostly through getting the sentences through, and taking those words into context of that, but such things takes time.

She also studies crystals. Of  the kind that can be magically infused, and carries a few of them with her. It's an interest of hers to try and see how they might be utilized, even by dragons, and she have some moderate success with mixing them with her geomancy.

She also have a pet, that she purchased by a vendor that tended to traverse between Dragon Lands, and Equestria. A minute dragon, whom at one point, had a small, infant rabbit in a cage. Nerzhei usually bought books from him, but felt pity for the creature, and bought her as well. Afterwards, she raised the pink little bunny up, and came to enjoy the company of her, calling her Lotus.

She's tried to release Lotus a few times, but she doesn't fit in anywhere. Raised around dragons, Lotus might be small, girly looking, and with a vanity for the tuft of extra long fur on her head that sorta counts as her hair, but she's also extremely violent. Even small slights she responds with in verbal critter chatter, and if need be, physical violence. She might not be big, but if she can beat up smaller dragons, she can certainly make a pony feel her kicks too. It's not because she's a bad bunny, she just got used to understanding that to survive, she needed to be tough, and show some spine, or she'd be lunch. Hence, when she tries to mingle with other bunnies, and tries to be friendly with things such as a harmless brawl, she scares the others, and they run away from her.

The two of them make for an odd pairing, but they have a strong bond, and I wouldn't advise trying to harm that bond, by say, harming Lotus. Nerzhei would bury you under twenty meters of solid rock if you harmed her friend.

That brings to the matter that personality wise, Nerzhei tends to be respectful, but she is still a dragon, and hence, there's a certain degree of authority and pride in her way of being too. And a lot of rage. It's buried, and kept in check, but you can sometimes see the centuries of frustration and treatment by her kin, boiling up, and giving her eyes a rather scary look, depending on the sort you are.

It won't be hard to spot her. She's roughly human height, and wears an adventurers robe, along with a spear on her back, a large satchel for her books, and Lotus tends to sit on her shoulder. A bird of prey tried to take advantage of that position once... Lotus broke its wing. The others generally got the gist of it afterwards.

Think I covered it. Though feel free to ask questions, if you have any.

Furthermore, if this seems suitable for you, would you prefer to do the first post, or should I?

Ah, and almost forgot: Your weaknesses seems fine, good to have it sorted.

As for Nerzhei's, she only have so much magic to use, and she's not a massive dragon. She'll take a stand and fight well, but old or not, she's a runt, and have to remain aware of her own limitations. Her protectiveness of those she cares about, can also be used against her, as she will defend them, despite getting hurt herself. Which is also why currently, her left arm is in a swing, and covered in gauze. A combination of magic use that wasn't too wise, and a close escape, resulted in her getting rather hurt with that one, and have been ordered by the hospital to not use it.

Ah yes, and she also suffers from repeated migraine attacks. Generally speaking, it flares up when she's faced with someone doing repeated dumb, irrational things, and she struggles against her own want to yell at them for that. She's doing her best to be civilized, but it's a pain. Sometimes literally.
