Shared around December 9 Reshared December 31 Tribe Name: Gemwings Backstory: Long ago The Gemwings and the other tribes lived in peace but a war between them and the Mudwings started and it was a complete disaster for both sides. But it was much worse for the Gemwings for there population was put down to 100 dragons. The Mudwings decided to stop but the other tribes were hungry for power and so one day the Skywings came to destroy them and take there land. When they thought they killed all of them they didn't and only 4 survived this disaster. They decided to hide forever in a cave they found near a big mountain. So they prepared the cave by building tunnels to a small lake and a tiny opening with a trap to get food. They have been hiding ever since and are still scared of what dragons might do to them. Society: Gemwings believe in hierarchy. The Queen and the princesses and first, then it is the king. Then to determine nobles, etc. they base it on the Gem's they have on them. So if a dragon had diamond's as the Gem on them, they would be a noble. (Since a diamond on Moh's scale is a 10) Name picking: They pick their name's based on the Gem on them. So if someone had emerald they would be called something like emerald or emetail or Flyrald. Looks: They are all grey like rocks. Here and there on their body they have a certain gems they were born with. Their eyes have tons of little colored "gems" inside There are little Gems embedded in their wings forming different patterns. Their body structure is kind of chunky. (If that makes sense) Strengths: Their scales are as hard as rock. (Stronger then most dragons) They camouflage easily in a rocky environment. If it is sunny, and they were put at the right angle the sun would reflect of their gems and would be strong enough to start a small fire. (They forgot they could do this since they haven't been in the sun for so long) Weaknesses: They are not agile at all and can not fly for long distances. Even with there body structure and all they are really shy and hate war and fighting because what had happened to them. Abilities: They can sense any precious stones around them, like gold and if they focus a lot they can move it a bit. They are good at making things. (You know x-ray in minecraft? If you do read on, if you don't tell me in the comments) Only some (very rarely, like it is a rare as being an animus) Gemwings can have the ability like the x-ray in minecraft. (Sorry that was the best example I could get xD) Numbers to this day: There is now about 300 Gemwings. The cave has gotten bigger. The reason they keep there numbers so low is to not have to get so much food. Sorry if there is any misspellings! You can change anything and please tell me if there is anything missing! My bio if this is chosen as a new tribe: Lazuli (Precious Stone: Lapis lazuli) // 16 // Female // Gemwings // Shy, protective, curious // Grew up like all Gemwings, she is in the middle class. (Lapis is a 5 on Moh's Scale) She always wondered what was in the outside world but this though was usually gone when the other Gemwings told their history to her. One day she swore that when she is old enough, (around 20 human years) she would get revenge on the Skywings. She still keeps this and is counting down the years // Just like any Gemwing. Her stone is Lapis lazuli // Same as any normal Gemwing // Father (Died, can't remember him) Mother (Laptail, Stone: Lapis lazuli) Little sister (lazorad laz for short, Stone: Lapis lazuli)
