||PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SIGN-UP OR BASE ART FOR PURPOSES NOT RELATED TO GILDED SCALES ROLEPLAY!!|| ♕ -Ark one: Fool's Gold- ♕ Welcome to Gilded Scales Roleplay (also referred to as GSRP)! In a world scorched with the flames of war and scored with the talons of the dragons who fight them, the land of Niyre is home to 8 great kingdoms, forged from times where civil unrest amongst factions scrambling for power toppling one another endlessly was put to an end by the word of the god Orulos, and the 8 artifacts blessed with the innate ability to choose one dragon each who is deemed the best "fit" for the throne, and granting them unmatched power to help keep it. While one era of violence was put to an end, another had begun, one that is arguably worse than before and had left Niyre even more divided with the constant wars that have created political rifts between borders. With these all-powerful monarchs chosen by the divine will of their kingdom's artifact in a constant hungry climb against one another for more, how will you tell your tale? ||Creation Guide|| ♕ -Dragon kind- ♕ The dragons of Niyre take many shapes and forms, from scales to fur to feathers, from two wings to four to none. Dragons can be edited however you wish with any traits, as long as it does not have any inherently magical attribute (manes of fire, plants growing on them, etc.) Gills, spikes, more/less horns, extra/less limbs, more/less eyes, more/less wings, and anything else you can think of! Dragons have a relatively long lifespan, and lay eggs in clutches of 1-5 eggs at a time. Ages 0-10 - Chicks, or the young of dragons Ages 11-17 - Adolescent, the wild and rambunctious teenagers Age 18 - When a dragon is considered a full-fledged adult, normally can begin work at this time (or earlier depending on the kingdom) Ages 19-99 - Young adult years, prime of their life Ages 100-199 - Middle Aged Ages 200-299 - Senior adult, normally when their physical strength starts to decline Ages 300-350 - Elder years, when they normally retire Ages 351-400 - Ancient years, normally when they begin to die of old age. Dragons hail to one of the - Kingdoms, or they roam outside the allegiances. Ranks go as followed: Royal Ranks (FOR KINGDOM OWNERS ONLY unless permission is offered) Emperor/Empress/Emprex - The divine chosen ruler of the kingdom. When they die, the artifact of the kingdom will choose another. There is no telling who will be the next Emperor/Empress/Emprex, could be a child of the former or the lowest peasant in the kingdom. Royal Consort - The spouse(s) of the current Emperor/Empress/Emprex. They loose this title once the Emperor/Empress/Emprex dies. Prince/Princess/Princex - The children of the Emperor/Empress/Emprex. They loose this title once the Emperor/Empress/Emprex dies. Lord/Lordess/Lordex - SIblings or other kin of the Emperor/Empress/Emprex. They loose this title once the Emperor/Empress/Emprex dies. Common ranks (Open to all!) Priests - Those who devote their lives to worship Knights - Gallant warriors of their kingdom Esquires- Assistants of Knights, normally Knights-in-training themselves Shopkeepers- Merchants of the kingdom Traveling Merchants - Brave the risks of traveling to different kingdoms to sell their goods Artisans - Artists Craftsmith - Ranges from those who work with materials such as wood or wool to make clothes and items to metals and leather to make armor, weapons or jewelry. Farmers - Raises plants and livestock for the kingdom Miner - Excavates the underground mines of the kingdom for ores and minerals of use Chefs - Those skilled in the culinary arts who cook for a living Servants - Normally work for richer dragons, they offer their work through cleaning, doing chores or other acts of service. Outsider ranks (Open to all!) Nomads - Those who do not devote themselves to a kingdom and travel between or outside the borders. Most kingdoms do not take kindly to them. Outlaws - Those on the run from the Kingdoms, often with bounties on their heads. Mercenaries - Trades for hire, and normally of the illegal kind. Every Kingdom is different in laws, culture and customs, some with unique ranks and religions to go with. Most kingdoms, however, use standard gold coins as currency. While the ability to use magic has long since left the dragons, they still have some in the form of artifacts and Breath Elements. While the only known Artifacts left are those who choose the divine rulers of the kingdoms and what is locked tight in the castle's personal arenol (please do not make artifacts), mostly all dragons have some sort of breath element!

Wait like 20 seconds and a surprise will come if you look at the dragon again!!!
