Luxaeterna, a participant in the first true battle of the war between the Rainwings and Icewings, the Battle of Stolen Light. Her venom-fangs were torn out by an Icewing poacher, and after surviving and avoiding capture, replaced them with harder gemstone teeth. She’s well known for the number of Icewing skulls she’s impaled throughout the war. She is Boomslang and Quetzal’s great aunt. Postwar, she has been reunited with her living grandnephew and accompanies him for scale retrieval in the Ice and Sky Kingdoms.
Quetzal in his last moments before being murdered by an Icewing poacher. He had sold Boomslang’s egg to the Icewings in the hopes of gaining immunity from the scale trade- but he learned far too late that a bargain can’t be kept with someone who wants to wear your skin.
Snow Unicorn [CLAIMED]: a mysterious dragon roams the coldest parts of the ice kingdom, rumored to only appear during harsh blizzards. Many have attempted to seek them out to no avail. A strange magic seems to emanate from their horn.
Bleeding Tooth [CLAIMED]: at a distance they may appear like a dragon covered in rubies or the victim of a ferocious attack. In reality, these red droplets are a noxious poison that oozes from gaps between their scales. It doesn't hurt them, they just find it really annoying.
Death's Head [CLAIMED]: hatched under two full moons, this unlucky dragon's powers relate only to death. Visions reveal the ways in which everyone they met will die, with nothing they can do to change that. On the flip side, mind reading alerts them of anyone plotting murder at that moment, so that's something.
RULES:
first come first serve, just send me an ask (off anon) (not DMS, not comments, not reblogs) asking for whichever unclaimed adopt you want.
you can change some aspects of the design to fit your style or tastes better, as long as it's still recognizable as the same design, nothing too drastic
please dont sell them as soon as you got them considering you got them free. wait a while (i say... maybe a month) and you can trade them for other characters however, just not money
the backstories here are for funsies, you can change or discard them as you see fit
You know I enjoy tiktok as a place to post stupid memes and silly animatics and me dancing around with my dinosaur mask, but when you actually try to post a genuine take on something, you'll be met with some of the dumbest motherfuckers alive. I remember someone made a post calling out the ableism in WCUE, and how people on that game will tell disabled cats they can't be warriors and it's too unrealistic and shit like that. And I made a response saying how a mentality like that is a result of the books themselves, because the series constantly teaches children that disabled people are incapable of doing the same jobs able bodied people can. That then leads to people in rps and rp games fully believing that the books are right, and thinking it's 'against the rules' or 'unrealistic' for disabled cats to be anything other than medicine cats or elders. I then went on to bring up WoF as an example of a series that doesn't really do that. WoF is def not perfect when it comes to disabled rep, but it handles disabled characters far better than Warriors. Many of the RainWings think Tamarin is weird or incapable of helping in the royal challenge, but you're never supposed to agree with them. She then goes on beat the flower challenge in like record time, proving that she is in fact just as skilled as the other dragons. Whiteout being neurodivergent is something that is absolutely essential to who she is as a person. The second she starts acting "normally," it's not seen as a relief, it's seen as a cause for alarm. Arctic enchanting her condition away isn't treated as a good thing, it's a violation to Whiteout, a horrible thing he does to her. This is largely why you don't see a lot of ableism in WoF games or WoF rps, because the books aren't hammering it into children's skulls that being disabled means you're not as skilled as able bodied people, and you can't do the same tasks as them. You rarely see people saying shit like "disabled dragons can't be soldiers, disabled dragons can't be queens." I'm sure it still happens, but not to the extent of the warrior cats fandom, because WoF has several disabled characters who are shown to be just as capable as everyone else
I then received multiple comments saying "But Tui wrote warriors!! She wrote warrior cats!! She's responsible for all the ableism in warrior cats!!" I'll just let you decide why that's a piss poor response
