Ok so about the OCs I mentioned earlier today. Here's a brief rundown of them:
-I generally call their story "Soldiers Poets and Kings"
-The general premise of the world is that there are humans and dragons, and the two have a sort of symbiotic relationship. Humans can generate mana but can't cast magic with it, and dragons can cast magic but can't generate mana.
-Humans can't handle the amount of mana their bodies generate, so all adult humans have a dragon companion who siphons magic off of them. These pairs have a psychic connection that's formed when the dragon half hatches, and this link is what allows the siphoning of mana.
-There's also a secret third kind of person: Drakes! Drakes are inherently tied to prophecies-- anytime there's a prophecy, there's a drake tied to it; and anytime there's a drake, they're involved with a prophecy. Drakes have a humanoid form with unique draconic aspects to them, and form mana siphoning bonds just as humans do. There have been cases of drakes learning to cast magic, but it's not common. It has been documented that drakes are uniquely capable of forming siphoning bonds with each other, and that with more siphoning bonds they grow more likely to cast magic.
-The main characters of the story are three drakes and their corresponding dragon bonds. I love all of them dearly.
-The Sun Bond is made up of Mallory (drake) and Thyrsus (dragon), and are more widely known as the Warriors.
-The Moon Bond is made up of Ripland (drake) and Moonbeam (dragon), and are more widely known as the Diplomats.
-The Sun and Moon bonds were raised together in a citadel atop a mountain and hailed as very high ranking nobility. All four of them were trained from an incredibly young age to fit the roles assigned to them. Generally the four of them have relatively positive outlooks on their prophecy, and their goal has always been to actually fulfill it, though they're kind of growing tired of life at the Citadel.
-The Earth Bond is made up of Shark (drake) and Nill (dragon), and their colloquial name is technically the Survivors, though they aren't nearly as well known as the Sun and Moon bonds.
-The Earth Bond were raised in the middle of the woods by a pair of caretakers sent by the citadel, and were told of a modified prophecy wherin they were the only two involved. They are not excited about their grand destiny and would rather just live their lives as healers by their little town.
-I could go on for days so I'm gonna leave this one here but I will come back to write more about these guys individually because I love them so very dearly
