Spoiler: A Bit About the Game (click to show/hide)

There were three reasons for me starting this:
1. I wanted to improve my terribly, terribly cruddy graphic design skills.
2. My 10th grade English teacher let us watch a movie in class; specifically, How to Train Your Dragon.
3. In the list of people's favorite types of forum games, one of the options was 'Stuff with dragons in it'. I was all like, "Hey! We just watched a movie about dragons."

Unfortunately, I have little to no skill and actually no experience with any graphical program more advanced than MS Paint. Hopefully the quality of the drawings will improve over time.

Therefore, I'm arting this thing for you to suggest actions to. Enjoy, and ignore the horridity of the artwork.

Act I: The Dragon Egg
Scene I



You're somewhere. You don't know who you are, but you know it's dark. A faint light is visible through this brittle cage you're in. It's stuffy in here, and cramped, too. What do you decide to do now?

Things to Decide:
What will you call yourself?
What color are you? (Ignore the blue egg.)
What do you look like? (Give a brief description. Facial shape, wings, limbs, whatever.)
What do you do?

Fixed.

Name: Tal'dir
Color: Silver mostly, eyes the shade of the morning sun.
Appearance: One head, angled like a V with reptilian eyes and a long snout. Already has teeth, jagged maybe, made for biting and eating meat. Six appendages where two serve as wings, the other four are for movement and are covered by iridescent scales. Tail is short but it looks like it could be spread as a fan, for what purpose, you will have to discover.

Other words, built for flight.

What to do next: Peck at darkness with the egg-tooth. In other words, break the egg.

I vote we be named Tal'dir the Eater of Chalk.
(Also, neither copy of the image of what we should look like is working on my computer.)

[Lillipad]

That could be a problem, Zig. I only found that one image of it.

I also vote for what you're voting. Eater of Chalk is a pretty cool title.

[kaian-a-coel]

I support Tal'dir Eater of Chalk.

For color, i'd like light silver, with a copper stripe all the way from the nose to the tail, and on the forearm/legs. Eyes look like an ever-moving fluid multicolored pattern (like there was a bunch of coloured fluids in your eyeballs), with a vertical pure black vertical pupil.

Appearance: long and graceful. your spine have flexible soft spikes, connected by a translucid membrane. You also have it on the sides of your tail and your arms and legs.

Course of action: headbutt the wall.

EDIT: i forgot: we're scaleless, but our soft, hydrodynamic skin is as resistant as spiderweb (it's 5 times stronger than steel), wich enable us to move freely, yet it is able to instantly harden when hit, becoming even stronger (but rigid) for a short time: it can become as hard as diamond.

This.

Finally the forums are back up! Unless they were working fine for everyone else but not me. In which case, finally I have access to the forums again! About the coloration and shape of the dragon, I made the images before I could see what a few people had voted. I tried to combine the ones I could, but I may not have gotten what everyone wanted. If not, I'll just change what it looks like over time.

Act I: The Dragon Egg
Scene I


You bash your headplate against the shell encasing you, struggling free of your protective prison. It's somewhat dark outside, but still far brighter than the translucent egg showed.


You shake off the bits of eggshell that cling to your scales as you pull your way out of the egg. You decide to call yourself Tal'dir, Eater of Chalk. You don't know what chalk is, but it sounds delicious. The thought of it makes you hungry. Or maybe it's because you haven't eaten anything in literally forever.

You probably should fix that.

Things to Decide:
What do you do now?

Stats:
Hungry

Nah, I couldn't get in the whole day too.

[Criptfeind]

We shall be a Geovore. Chomp down on some of that dirt.

[Lillipad]

Forums were down for me as well.

>Eat the egg shell. Walk east.

This.

Also, forums were down for everyone, so yeah.
