‘DragonForcE’ Regular



A dream gazer foretold of a future where two Dragon Clans - one of Light and one of Dark - will surface and fight against one another. Their fight would change the entire world. Their conflict would impact the lives of those around them. Some causing harm. Others protecting the things they cared about.

They are the ‘Destiny † Dragons


Raging Red Lotus BB Regular
The Dragons of Light or the Míngliàng Clan are protectors of the Ancient Land. Dragons of Light work together to preserve humanity and postpone Judgment Day, where the world will be judged and face destruction.
Raging Red Lotus BB Regular
The Dragons of Darkness or the Hēisè Clan are messengers of destruction. Their mission is to unleash death and famine, so the Land of Ancients can be cured of the plague of corruption.  The Dragons of Darkness are free agents with no sense of camaraderie.

These two Dragon Clans wait for the various moons and planets to align before returning to the world and fighting for their cause. However they must find the chosen ones who are part of this destiny before the Year of Destiny arrives.

Only the ones who can wield the destiny stone can become one of the Dragons of Destiny. However the destiny stone does not determine one's fate of victory, as the chosen ones are to choose their own fate. The destiny stone is only able to unlock the chosen Dragon’s true form to help them fulfill their destiny.

However the Year of Destiny is upon us, and the beginning of the end of the world has only begun. The future of the universe rests on your hands, where you must either destroy the Dragons of Darkness or the Dragons of Light. You must decide whether the Ancient Land should be destroyed to create a purified universe, or whether it should be protected to preserve civilization.


The fate of the Ancient Lands is in your hands, chosen one.




‘DragonForcE’ Regular
The Land of the Ancients is separated by different continents based on elements, as they have elemental affinities. These islands have allied nations and territories where mix-bred dragons live.





Quan

Quan is an underwater island, where many adaptable water dragons live in a submerged city in the ocean. There is land however and many water dragons are able to walk on the cool icy glaciers.




Huo

Huo is the burning island where Fire Dragons dwell. The island itself is a volcano and fire geyser where there is lots of lava, thus the weather is at many times hot and burning yet smoky with ashes.




Feng

Feng is the cool island of air. It is a floating island in the clouds where dragons typically fly around in the skies. However hurricanes and breezes are frequent pushing the island across the sky over the Ancient Lands.



Ra'd

Ra'd is the Lightning island. Thunder and electricity frequently strikes Ra'd. However the land is barren and flat and dragons have grown use to the electrical charges that run through the lands




Hiroc

Earth dragons hail from Hiroc. Hiroc is a sturdy and resilient mountain, and thus dragons who live here usually lives on the mountaintops or in the caves near the forest. However near the bottom of the mountain various deposits of sand are present.








‘DragonForcE’ Regular

The Ancient Lands is mostly composed of Dragons; however there are other beings that live here that the Dragons protect but do not mate with. Dragons cannot unlock their true dragon form unless chosen by a stone of destiny, thus live in a humanoid form among other beings.

Dragons are born and raised in islands have powers related to this element affinity. So water dragons come from the water island or born of water dragon parents. It is possible to have dragons mixed with various elements such as ice dragons. Ice dragons are either born of parent air and water dragons or born on the Ice island nations which is allied territory shared by Quan and Feng or born of two ice dragon parents.  Dragons of combined elements are allowed to reside in allied territories that the main islands share or one of the main islands they are attuned with, ie. ice dragons can live in either Feng or Quan island or one of their shared territories.



Inhabitants are only able to learn abilities based on the region they were born and grew up in. So earth born inhabitants can only use earth abilities.





‘DragonForcE’ Regular







Li Yin
: As a prophet, it is my mission to help find all of the Destiny Dragons and guide them in fulfilling their fate. However my visions can only see so much, and thus you must help search for them.







Dragons here come in various shapes and sizes, and even different abilities based on their parent and where they dwell. Let us share what they are.




General Dragon Traits

Destiny Dragons like regular dragons have Horns, Ears, Wings, and Tails.

However Destiny Dragons have special features that set them apart from each other.


Various Ears

Destiny Dragons have a lot of different types of ears! Some even have more than one pair~



Various Wings

Destiny Dragons also have various wings like found below.
  • 1 & 5 are the most common shape of wings.
  • However some Dragons have special wings that are a combination of wing types as they are Hybrids.



Elemental Horn

Each dragon here in the Ancient Lands have their own elemental horn which reflects which elemental power they have.

Horns come in various shapes and sizes, and may be seen as very antler like or even animal like.

Please note that Destiny Dragon Horns are not limited to the ones displayed here.



Elemental Destiny Stone Tail

Like the Elemental Horn, Destiny Dragons have an Elemental Tail but typically attached to their tail is their Destiny Stone






Life Line


Dragons who live in the Ancient Lands have on their thigh what we call a Life Line, as this swirl tells usually how long the dragon can live and what kind of life they will face along the way.
  • The longer the swirl, the longer the dragon usually lives.
  • If the swirl is tangled, they usually face turmoil and danger in their life. They may even change the path they were on.
  • The more corners and edges there are in the life line signifies the harsh obstacles that the dragon will endure.
  • If their swirl is somehow cut off, usually the dragon's life is weak and vulnerable.Some times breakage is a symbol of a broken relationship or even a physical injury.
Here is some examples of the Life Line:


The Life Line swirl is not limited to the various examples shown above, as each dragon has a different destiny they live which is engraved on their bodies.

This Life Line is on every dragon here in the Ancient Lands as it is a symbol of their destiny being intertwined with the fate of the Lands.




Element

There are 5 major elements in the Ancient Lands due to the lands being segregated by elements.

However there are other elements that dragons can have based on their parent or if they live in an allied territory.

Some are only taught through either Dark or Light clan depending which a Destiny Dragon chooses to join.




Main Elements - Common

There are 5 main elements in the Ancient Lands: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Water. Most dragons have one of these elements and are born with only 1 element.




Fused Elements - Uncommon

Fusion of Elements are a combination of the main elements. They are Ice, Wood, Lava, Storm, Boil, Scorch, Sand, Sound, Glass, Plasma.

These elements cannot be learned rather passed down from the parent and mutated to adapt the Ancient Land's various territorial environment. Typically only Hybrid Destiny Dragons are able to have a Fused Element.





Yin/Yang Elements - Rare


Light and darkness have always been present in the world. But there is a gray area where one all stands until choosing a side. However staying in this gray area leaves us with nothing.  Nothing is gained; however one might loose everything as one don't move. So Destiny Dragons must choose either to go with one side over the other to see if we can truly be able to become greater.

Concentrated Elements or known as Yin/Yang elements are higher levels of the main five elements of Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water. These elements have a Negative and Positive attribute of being either helpful or destructive depending on use, and thus can be seen as a yin and yang element.

The Yin/Yang Elements are Ivory or Ebony, Phasing or Pressure, Volt or Magnet, Obsidian or Metal, Jelly or Alcohol

However Destiny Dragons can learn one of these concentrations based on their Light or Darkness Affiliation as it is impossible to be able to use both sides of a Yin/Yang Element.

These elements are not elements a Dragon can be born with, rather they are only taught through the Clan as they are extremely difficult to master and should not be taught to the wrong individuals.











Destiny Stone


How can we search for the Destiny Dragons?
We must search high and low among the Ancient lands for the one with the destiny stone.


Destiny Dragons usually have a gem on them that is their destiny stone, to show they are the chosen ones. The destiny stone can be embedded on the tail. Usually once finding its owner, it is permanently attached to the destiny dragon meaning they are born with it, and enables them to shift between both forms.




Destiny Stones are attached typically to the Dragon's tail and come in various shapes.

Here are some examples of Destiny Stones, however are not limited to the examples provide:









Clan


Once we find the chosen ones, they must choose a side to fulfill their destiny: To join the Dragons of Light or Darkness. To protect the Ancient Lands or to Destroy it.



Raging Red Lotus BB Regular
Míngliàng Clan
Those who serve the Dragons of Light take on a pure and holy form of light colors with angelic wings. (Light dominate palette)
Raging Red Lotus BB Regular
Hēisè Clan
Those who act on the behalf of the Dragons of Darkness take on a dark and demonic form of dark colors (Dark dominate palette)









Of course there are those who may take on traits of both clans, however these dragons are born outside of the clan and must be found by the clan member.









Incomplete Arc: The Clan's Pariah
Destiny Dragons: Incomplete Expansion Arc by RumCandyAdopt




















Please read Google Slides linked here if you cannot view the flash story above


What are the Pariah?

The Pariah are a group of socially outcasted Destiny Dragons within the two clans who are currently stuck in a Naga Form, unsuccessful in transforming into their dragon form.

Naga Form

It is possible for a Destiny Dragon to unsuccessfully shift and not be able to transform into their Dragon form, and shift into what we call the Naga Form or Incomplete Transformation Form.

Pariah are dragons who are inhibited and somehow held back unable to transform into their true form.  
  • They may be not convicted enough to fulfill their true purpose
  • or even too overwhelmed by their fears and desires
  • or even too unwell to do so.
As to transform into the dragon form, a destiny dragon is said to be in perfect condition in both body and mind or else all goes wrong.


However it is said these group of destiny dragons that partially transform remain in this partial shifted form as they are unable to control their ability to shift back into their humanoid form or into their true dragon form and thus are labeled incomplete failures and defects.

These group of dragons are typically frowned upon in the clan itself and referred to as the Pariah.

The Pariah are a group of socially outcasted Destiny Dragons Nagas. There are 3 major types of Nagas:
  • Ser (Serpent/ Serpentine)
    • Destiny Dragon Serpents or Serpentines resemble flying serpents and their legs merge with their serpent
  • Mer (Mermaid/Merman)
    • Destiny dragon Mermaids or Mermen resemble flying fish where their legs are merged with their fishy tail
  • Taur (Centaur/Dracotaur)
    • Destiny Dragon Dracotaurs resemble centaurs or half horse people and their lower bodies are of their dragon components
Dragon Sermertaur by RumCandyAdopt












Dragon Form


Once we find the chosen ones, we must teach them about the Destiny Stone and how to use their powers of transformation properly. Destiny dragons are able to shift from their humanoid form to their dragon form once learning how to use their Destiny Stone

A Dragon must find their true form by undergoing ritual and practice of using their Destiny Stone. Using the hidden powers of the Destiny Stone, they are able to unlock a dragon form that varies in shape and size.


They may be short or long or tall. They may be small or gigantic.

Examples

Here are some examples of Dragon Forms, a Destiny Dragon could possible take:



Despite their varieties of Dragon forms a Destiny Dragon could take on, a Destiny Dragon can only take on one form that resembles their Humanoid form.

This Dragon form always has the Destiny Stone, the Life Line, Wings, elemental tails and horns.








‘DragonForcE’ Regular
In the Ancient Lands, are Destiny Dragons, the Year of Destiny, and Judgement Day common knowledge?
  • No, it is not common knowledge among inhabitants of the Ancient Lands.
  • Only those involved with the destiny, which is either clan members or prophets are aware of the fate that is to be brought about upon the world.
  • There are minor exceptions to this depending on circumstances.Please refer to the comments.

How large are Destiny Dragons?
  • Typically Destiny Dragons have a humanoid form which can vary. They may be very dwarf like, human sized, fairies, and even giant sized.
  • Destiny Dragons' dragon form also come in various sizes and shapes! They can be small as bats to even large giants. It's really up to the owner as to how large they'd like to imagine their Destiny Dragon.

Is it possible Destiny Dragons to mate and breed with each other?

  • Yes, but typically Dragons in the Ancient Lands only mate with those in their clan as to continue preserving the destiny set for them, and not involve outsiders in the harsh fate that may come.
  • Dragons born outside of the clans may mate with a clan member if they pass a test or they are somehow chosen by the destiny stone, despite not being born a clan member.

Can Destiny Dragons mate and breed with other beings that are not dragons?
  • No, they only mate with other dragons.
  • Outside the Destiny Dragon Lore, they can mate with humanoids. However they do not produce destiny dragon offsprings.

How are Destiny Dragons born/created?
  • They are born from eggs and hatch out of them!

Does a Destiny Dragon have to be part of a clan if being chosen by the Destiny Stone?
  • No, there are Destiny Dragons who are born outside of the two clans and still need to be found in order to fulfill their destiny.
  • However these beings typically align and side with either side as it's rather impossible to fulfill their fate if they fight alone for their own cause or fight against their destiny.

Can a Destiny Dragon fight their destiny or betray their original clan?
  • Yes, it is possible, as the Destiny Dragon alone chooses what choices they take in their life, and could possibly betray their clan for the other clan in pursuit of their own goals.
  • However for simplicity sake for our species, we will only be aligning them with either clan. Owners can play with this idea with their own characters if they'd like.

Can a Destiny Dragon be a mixbreed with both light and dark traits?
  • Yes it is possible, but it is extremely rare and typically these Dragons are not born in either clan rather outside the clan, and would likely have to be found by a clan member in order to realize they are a Destiny Dragon.
  • Many of these dragons though typically take on neutral roles as guides and advisors as they are typically a neutral party with a different fate

Do Destiny Dragons have powers and abilities?

  • Yes, it is depends on where the Dragon was born and raised as they are elemental based. It is also dependent on the parent, as abilities can be genetic and passed down or mutated over time due to cross breeding.
  • They have the ability to shift between humanoid and dragon form using their destiny stone. However the clan teaches Destiny Dragons how to use their Destiny Stone, as it is not common knowledge to be able to transform.

What if Destiny Dragons get their destiny stone cut off or removed?

  • Destiny Dragons are unable to transform into their dragon forms if this happens as the destiny stone is an enabler and trigger of the transformation from humanoid form into dragon form.

How technologically advanced is the Ancient Lands?
  • There is typically almost no technology in this world as all beings are able to use some sort of element ability.
  • For general idea, there isn’t sci-fi or modern technology but there may be a fantasy equivalent.

Are Pariah's ever able to have a full dragon form or does being a Pariah mean you are in that in form forever?
  • In the Ancient Lands, there are no current records of a Pariah being able to complete their transformation and turn into their true dragon form.
  • But both cases are valid and possible and up to the owner if they prefer one or the other case for their character. It not impossible for a Pariah to later turn into their true dragon form, but yes can be difficult and really rare.

    To explain further and elaborate, technically "Pariah are dragons who are inhibited and somehow held back unable to transform into their true form.
    They may be not convicted enough to fulfill their true purpose or even too overwhelmed by their fears and desires or even too unwell to do so.
    As to transform into the dragon form, a destiny dragon is said to be in perfect condition in both body and mind or else all goes wrong."

    So you could say that once in perfect condition and Pariahs are able to overcome whatever holds them back, they could possibly complete their transformation and turn into their dragon form.

    However many Pariah though are stuck in this form forever. Transforming into their true form after being stuck in their incomplete form is indeed an extremely rare case, as there is no sure way for them to fulfill the requirements of a complete transformation as it really depends on the individual.

What type of skin do Destiny Dragons have?

  • They are dragons and typically have scales. But for simplicity sake they can come with fur, or something elemental like rocks if the owner wishes. However this is up to the owner's interpretation.



Is Destiny Dragon a closed original species?
The idea of having dragon themed adoptables is not at all an original idea, and we'd rather not limit others from making those sort of things.
  • This is more of a themed species as we got a lots of inspiration from various places, which includes X/1999.
  • The idea is not purely original; however the story, designs, art, and world are of our creation are original, so we prefer others do not use our setting, world, lore, information, art, characters, design for their adoptables unless obtaining permission from us.

Do I have to use the lore, story, information when purchasing an Destiny Dragon?

  • No, of course not~
  • Destiny Dragon and information provided is merely our world and story we'd like to share with others. Buyers can choose to keep their adopt within the realm and storyline or do whatever they wish with their adopt.

Can I make my own Destiny Dragon?

  • No, but maybe in the future. Emoji32 by Emoji-icon
  • You could make your own dragon with armor and features, as we do not own any of the features that are mentioned here, but please don't call them Destiny Dragons or use our information without permission.

Can I get a custom Destiny Dragon?
  • No. We are not open to customs for this species; they are only available via auction.

Does Destiny Dragons have their own group?

  • Currently no. Maybe in the future when we’re ready.

  • Please note, this does mean this journal does lack information, and some information is purposely omitted in the journal as it is plot related.

To a creature/person who cannot do Elemental magic, like DD can, would they see value in that action? Like for some odd reason a DD is in another world besides the Ancient Lands, (for fan stories sake) or by chance just meet a person can't do Element magic like DD can.
