 I sail to the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from
The moonbeam
And sailed on shooting stars"
[Please press F11 for best viewing]
A cool breeze brushes your cheek gently, rippling your hair and causing you to turn your head. Just a few steps away, you catch a glimpse of a small clearing in the dark woods, lit by the soft rays of the moon. Something seems to be calling you forward.... shall you reply?
Hello there, Cherry. ^^ My name is Charms, and I'd like to welcome you to my application for the gorgeous draik, Rhaegal. I hope you enjoy your stay here, I did my best to make things comfortable for you.
Just a few notes:
-The song playing is "Sail to the Moon (Brush the Cobwebs of the Sky)" by Radiohead. I will explain why I chose this song later in the application, but if you don't like to listen to music, please just press 'esc' and it will all go away =)
-Also, this application is best viewed in Internet Explorer at 1024x768 resolution and by pressing F11 for full view. If you don't have IE, please let me know so I can edit this application so it looks more pleasing to you.
-I put the 'about me' at the bottom of the application, seeing as I think Rhae is more important.. but if you want to read about 'The Charms' (me xD) first, click [here]
And now- Onward March with the application!
The pulling in your heart is too much to resist, and you find your feet moving forward. As you come into the small glade, you stop. Laying on the dark grass is a dragon, with black scales and white wings that glitter in the moonlight. He raises his head to you, capturing your gaze with his clear blue eyes.
.'Yes?' a voice says inside your head. It takes a moment to realize it is the dragon speaking, telepathically.
."...w-what" you stammer out.
.'Ah' the dragon replies, cutting you off. 'Why don't you make yourself comfortable?'

 messor lacerta::reaper dragon
Ready? I think first I will need to give you a bit of history on this character, and then let you in on my plans for Rhaegal, the new, improved version. x)
Quite a long time ago (years) I created a character named Mibu, who was supposed to be a necromancer who had no control over his powers. He started out as a 15 year old street punk and orphan, and has gradually matured from there.
Recently I had a huge brain wave, and finally completed his then-unknown/uncompleted history and story.
I decided to make him a dragon.
Of course, then I had to save up for a morphing potion and paintbrush and a petpet.. until I saw Rhaegal. It was love at first sight- the answer to my prayers.
-overly dramatic-
Okay okay. But needless to say, Rhaegal fits perfectly with my plans for this character.
Alright. Mibu was and is my dearest creation. He is, as a human, around 17 years old. Since he was about 8, however, he has been able to.. perform necromancings. This includes killing, resurrecting, and many other skills. Sometimes he can see ghosts, but he doesn't realize what they are. Usually his powers only work on small animals, and never on purpose- however, he did once accidentally kill one of his closest friends. This particular tale is explained in greater detail under 'story'
What he does not know is that he is no regular necromancer. Usually necromancy is a skill that is studied and learned, taking years upon years to master. However, he never wanted this power, and has absolutely no control of it. This is because he isn't actually human, but rather a dragon- a Reaper Dragon. x) The technical Latin term is messor lacerta. Yes, I am a geek and like to come up with my own species. o.O
Basically I am going to create a roleplay/story where Mibu transforms into his 'true' form, a Reaper dragon. The name of this dragon is Rhaegal- Mibu's real name.
 Reaper dragons are creatures who can control souls, helping them in and out of the Death dimensions and manipulating spirits to their own causes.
They are not what I call 'True Dragons' in that they have unlimited power and shape shifting, but they do have many of the True Dragon powers in a less powerful degree. They can change their size and can 'glimmer' themselves to the form of humans (or whatever creature they share their birth with (o.O ??? That whole sentence will be explained under 'story', no worries)). Their main powers, however, are the powers over souls and death
Essentially, in the plot I made up (and a few things here are also what I actually believe), there are three forces that make up a person- body, spirit, and soul. They each have their own sections and levels, mainly in the soul and spirit. The body is the 'corpse', and the spirit is the force that dwells inside all living things (from trees to humans) and gives them the will of life. And the soul is something that humans and more developed creatures have- it gives them emotions, forsight, creativity, etc. Alllll those things that make us, well, us!
Reaper dragons have control over these 3 forces… mainly the spirit and soul, though the soul is the hardest to control because it's the independent force. Seeing as I don't want to bore you to tears, instead of explaining everything I plotted out, I am just going to find the stuff that applies to Reapers and type it in a list of notes you can read right here: [Powers] =3
^Above^ is a reference sheet for Rhae's design. He has jet-black scales with a white belly. Ivory hair runs down his back starting at the base of his skull and continuing to his tale- ending in a large tuft at the end. =)
His eyes are a clear crystal blue when he isn't using his powers, but when he is they turn black. This is true for both Mibu and Rhae. He has white spikes on his jaw line and on the end of his tail, and his 3 horns are a pure, almost glowing white.
Finally, the most unique part of his design are his wings. They (along with his ear flaps) start out white and fade out into a cobwebby, glittery 'material'. When he flies, his wings collect spirit dust- the leftover fragments of innocent spirits. This happens when children and other innocent beings lose their innocence to an adult's reality. Slowly but surely these shards break away into the night sky, and are collected by Rhaegal, who uses them for his powers.
This kind of links into Mibu, his human form, as well in that Mibu has been able to retain an almost child-like innocence even after all that he has been through.
 But yeah. Anyways- The spirit dust and his wings were what prompted me to use this song on his page. My favorite band of all time is Radiohead.. I love everything about their music, from the lyrics to the guitar to Thom's voice and his crooked eyes.... -sigh-
...And uhm. I was listening to their music, trying to find out what I wanted to use, and plotting out Rhae's design.. when Sail to the Moon came on... and it fit perfectly. x) I really hope you like the song.. its one of my favorites from Radiohead. (even though all of their songs are my fave...)
His companion is a ghost gallion- a little lost soul named Yonaka, who has attached herself to him and wont let go ^^. Yonaka means 'midnight' or 'dead of night' in Japanese, and she is in fact a little Japanese spirit. As the Reaper Dragon's closest relative on earth is the Oriental Dragon, she sought him out and calls him her 'big brother'. A clever little thing, Yonaka has been described as 'hyperactive', 'mischievous', and 'annoying little pest'
(aka. What will I do with Rhaegal once I have him/Why I want him so badly)
I love roleplaying/writing, drawing/painting, working on html, and creating music. I also love reptiles, especially dragons (and therefore love draiks, my favorite neopets species). Sooo you can be guaranteed that I will be spoiling Rhae to no end, utilizing my skills to the best I can. Currently I have around 2 million neopoints, as I have been saving for a pet like Rhae for a very long time. u.u Unfortunately, every time I get to my goal, by then draiks have gone up in price by another mil. -bangs head on desk-.
ANYWAY, I basically decided it might be better to put my actual talents to use instead of playing games for 3-4k a day... u.u
I went to NeoOddones, and started a halfhearted request for the draik Fesk. 
And then.. you, Cherry, put Rhaegal up for adoption.. and he was perfect. Is perfect. Which is why I am here today, putting out all my efforts to get him, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do us....
-notices people staring- I mean.... Yes. I want him very badly. -side glance-
I guess mainly it's because of Rhaegal's name, something that even with saving up for, I couldn't have. For some reason it just jumped out at me. When I started applying for Fesk, I was only half into it, because I didn't really like the name and just didn't feel like he was right for my idea. But Rhaegal is different. When I saw him, I KNEW he was the one draik I HAD to have. He just clicked. I know it sounds a little weird.. but I usually have to feel a 'connection' with the pet or I can never really roleplay or draw them properly. Having a connection with a pixel? Yes, yes I do. -snuggles rhae-
And right onto my next point... with my saved neopoints, I have purchased everything required to make my version of Rhae reality.
I will be painting him skunk, the best choice for his design, and the paintbrush is located in my gallery, along with the ghost gallion that will be his companion. Just click the pictures to go to there and see them. ^^
 
I am constantly working to improve my art, and you can be assured that Rhaegal will have a nice stack of pictures drawn of him that gets better in quality as I practice and get better at drawing. I do plan on entering him in the beauty contest (as futile as it sometimes seems) and also in the art gallery.
He will have a petpage similar to this layout at first, and when I get more time I will probably whip up something more elaborate. Usually this happens during the summer vacation months when I have more time to work on my pets.
I also like to write stories.. and have a book in mind to pull together the entire history of Mibu and his dragon self, Rhaegal, together into a complete story. This will be posted on the net when it's done, and you can read it whenever you like ^^
Another thing that I have become really interested in is sculpting and stopmotion animation. Stopmo is a type of animation where you take sequential photographs of a mold, moving the mold ever slightly each time. When you put it together, the mold appears to be moving. Some of my favorite movies are done this way, including Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm thinking about doing a short film of Rhae in stopmo, and if I get it done in time, I will put in in the app. If not, I'll link you when its done =D
And finally.. I also have a roleplay script from a big roleplay I did with a friend that we are planning to turn into a graphic novel (aka Comic Bookie).. this is going to take awhile, since it is a collaboration between the both of us and she is very busy.... but it will be created eventually and it should be amazing xD Right now I'm working on taking it out of story-form and putting it in script form. The current script is linked to [here]
[Phew that was long... Wait. There's more? o_o ]

 Well after putting off this section for a few weeks.. without much ado I will now start on the 'story/history' section. This isn't an actual story per say, but its here for me to ramble all I want on the character that Rhaegal would be if I were to be chosen. -coughs- I think I talk too much. o_o
((The only character that is not mine in his history is Raven- since that was a monumental roleplay in the development of Mibu's character. Other roleplays were disposed of. XD))
Birth and Childhood
One thing I love is odd little concepts and ideas that are original and off the wall. I read all the time, so of course I pick these types of things up as I go, then change them and develop them until they are my own. One of these being this idea of dragons that don't hatch their own young, but instead have 'changelings'. Reaper dragons do not repopulate in the normal animal fashion, as this would create way too many of them. Instead, every now and then an elder within their ranks chooses one child from any species and designates it to become a Reaper. The child is marked from the womb, and the parents never know that their child is any different from the others. In our case, the species chosen were the humans, and this is where Mibu comes into play.
Mibu was raised as any other kid- went to school, had a home, played with the other kids in his class. Granted, his mother was foreign to America and struggled since his father was never home, but she did her best to keep her and her child fed and cared for. However, Reapers can't stay in their other form forever, and around age 8 Mibu started to see things. Now and then he thought he caught glimpses of his long dead grandparents, or other wisps of people or animals that were there one second and gone in the next. And then one day he stopped a cat as it pounced on a robin. The bird wasn't moving in his hands, and crying, he hugged it to his little chest. A few seconds later it was wriggling in his arms, and then escaped from his grip- gliding away, unharmed. When Mibu told his mother, she replied that the bird probably had never been hurt to begin with.
Then disaster struck. His father had been gone for months and his mother was at the end of her nerves, which of course affected little Mibu in a similar manner. His mother was just trying to take a nap when the dog started barking and wouldn't stop. He tried to calm it down before his mother woke up, but was having no luck.
His mom tried to grab the dog's collar to dump it outside, but a very desperate Mibu grabbed him instead.. and that's when it happened. In someone so young, his powers were completely uncontrolled, and the emotions amplified them in that instant, performing a necromancing. On a live being, this results in the creature's death, as the three forces are ripped apart from each other. This is usually called the 'death touch' among necromancers. As blood is one of the main physical representations of the spirit in the body, necromancing death's can become very.. gory.. as all the blood is forced out.
It was a sight sent from demons
Or at the least, that's what his mother thought. An immensely superstitious woman, overworked and overstressed, this was too much for her to handle. She placed Mibu in the car, drove downtown into the heart of the city, and left him on the sidewalk to fend for himself, driving away into the fading afternoon.
Little Mibu watched, scared and confused, as his mother drove away, tears streaming down her face.
What now?
On the streets
The beginning
There are 3 stages of Mibu's life on the streets. I'm just going to briefly recap what happened in his life at these times and how his personality changed as the different people affected him.
The only real explanation to say how Mibu survived as a little child, alone on the streets, is the fact that he was a Reaper. He was around 8 or 9 when his mom abandoned him, and he never was sought out by any of his family again. Its not certain whether his mother left him and never looked back, or tried to find him again but couldn't as he had moved on. Regardless, Mibu never knew nor cared to try to find out. Instead, he did what he would soon become a master of. Buried the terrible memories deep inside, and tried to never think of them again.
In the beginning it was the worst. Alone, lost, terrified of the world and terrified of himself, he hid out in dumpsters and among groups of homeless on the streets, just trying to survive. He was scared of coming out of his protective shell, scared of talking to others, scared of doing anything. And for good reason. Some of his cruelest memories of mankind come from this time... but that's a longer story. His powers? Well his powers somewhat dimmed down and Mibu could just about forget any of those things had ever happened. Although… on certain days he still saw the 'see-through people'
Cory
Time went by, and around 13 he had gotten relaxed enough that he was hanging out in the parks and making 'friends'. But he never really got close to any of them until he met Cory. Cory was somebody completely different from anyone else he'd met before. Outgoing, kind, and just a tad eccentric, his playfulness helped boost Mibu's self esteem and made him comfortable being himself. For the first time since he could remember, Mibu was HAPPY. Cory and Mibu hung out n-blocked-, in parks and on the streets, going everywhere together. Cory was into a lot of things: skateboarding, playing 'dress up', doing cartwheels in the park, and... boys. Boys like Mibu. And Mibu started to think he liked Cory too. A lot. He knew the whole 'guys only go with girls' thing, but he really didn't care. As long as Cory was interested… (which he definitely was) nothing could tear them apart. The two boys promised they'd be together forever.
That's when the jerk h0m0phobic teenagers started picking on them. (okay I promise his WHOLE life isn't a sob story.. it gets better… u.u what can I say? He had it rough)
Mibu and Cory couldn't see what they had done wrong to deserve the kids' abuse… but that's how things usually go on the crooked side of the tracks. Not to mention the fact that Cory's parents didn't like all the time he was spending with Mibu either. Why couldn't he go find a nice girl to hookup with?
On that fateful day Cory was relaying another story about his parents nagging and how much he wanted to tell them the truth, but wasn't able to muster up the courage to. Mibu sat on the grass, watching Cory skateboard and listening to him talk. Maybe one day, he suggested, they could run away together- go traveling across the world. Something Mibu had wanted to do for a long time.
Cory was about to reply when one of the kids that always picked on them kicked the bottom of his skateboard, sending him sprawling down the wall of the small half-pipe. Scared and concerned for his friend, Mibu ran forward to help him… and it happened again.
When he killed his dog he had been too confused to even realize what happened. But this time… this time he knew. He killed him. He killed Cory.
Sitting in a pool of blood, holding the only person he'd ever really loved, Mibu cried. He tried to do something, anything, to wake Cory up. This wasn't happening, this didn't happen, It's not real. He shook the body, knowing that if he could just get himself to do it right… maybe he could bring Cory back. Like he did the birds. But it wasn't working oh god it wasn't working and by now the other kids had run off, screaming, "murder!!"
Mibu stayed there in shock, holding Cory in his arms, until he heard the sirens. Then, panic seizing him, he jumped to his feet and ran. He ran with the determination to get as far away as possible… to run all the way to the ends of the earth. Just as long as it wasn't here, no not here.
But his legs were tired before he reached the city limits, and as night fell Mibu was to be found curled up in a ball, hidden in a group of bushes and trees in the park. And that's exactly where Racial found him a few days later, hungry and thirsty and not really caring anymore if he died from dehydration.
Racial
Racial was a witch… or at least, she tried to be. Most of her time was spent searching for creatures that were born with powers or by some other natural ability or chance had gotten them. Something they had, and Racial didn't.
So when rumors spread of a murder in Terrens Park that sounded a lot like necromancy, Racial was off in a matter of seconds to find the person responsible. Using crystals and prisms and stars and spells she somehow managed to find that the 'powerful necromancer' was currently located in a small park just at the border of the city. She headed off, expecting to have to use all her weapons and potions to subdue him.
Imagine her surprise to find a frightened 14 year old boy crying in the bushes. This was the guy? But knowing an opportunity when she saw it, Racial coaxed Mibu out and talked to him, calming him down and learning everything she needed to know about him in the process. Then she offered him a deal. If he would work for her, she would let him stay at her place, buy him the things he needed, and most importantly… help him to control his powers.
It seemed an offer that no one, especially the desperate Mibu, could decline. Racial lived in a basement apartment in an old, rundown neighborhood on the outskirts of the city. She had Mibu run the house, buy the food, and basically everything else of that sort while she continued on her 'work'. This meant spending hours pouring over old tombs, making cheap potions and salves to sell to keep them fed, and trying again and again at failed spells and advanced potions. And doing tests on Mibu, trying to unlock his secret.
Racial never could understand how a small boy, innocent and under-educated, could be more powerful than the twisted necromancers who had studied the art for decades. But she was bound and determined to find out.
These tests and experiments weren't exactly what someone would call fun... but life with Racial kept him occupied and his mind off of. Well. Things and people he never wanted to think about again.
Racial started homeschooling him here and there, and also training him to control his powers. This basically meant using the age-old and proven technique of tricking the mind. She told him if he wore gloves his power's wouldn't work. If he did this and that and danced under a full moon they would. If he drank this potion he'd be able to control them and even perform necromancings. The potion was just flavored water, and the gloves didn't do anything either, but Mibu thought they did, and that's what mattered.
After 'lessons', Racial went back to her studies and Mibu was free to do whatever he liked. And that he did. Clubs, parties, girlfriends, boyfriends.... anything to keep him in the circles of light and preoccupied with the now so he didn't have to think about the then. Anything.
Life became an endless blur... and Mibu's powers were slowly diminishing, just as his hopes and dreams and innocence did the same.
(Remember that Reaper's powers are fueled by the amount of spirit it has, and as Mibu started giving up, his powers began to die and he drifted even farther away from uniting with his true-self, Rhaegal.)
Traveling Dimensions
Raven
((Now starts the story with Raven. The complete version can be found in the roleplay section of this application, in case you are ever interested in reading it. I will warn that it can become very graphic at times, however.))
It was when life started to lose all meaning for him that his world took another turn. Raven came crashing (quite literally) into his life, and Mibu was never the same afterwards.
Raven was strange, distant, majestic. A Phantom, one of the famed and all-powerful creatures that had been believed to be extinct, he traveled the dimensions as a God of Death, dealing justice and order to the chaos. His latest mission was to find and kill a darijarkhan demon that was threatening Midway, the city in which Mibu lived (Made up.. not supposed to be any REAL city on earth). By some very odd turns of events, Mibu and Raven became 'partners' in the effort to destroy the demon.
To Mibu, Raven was as distant as a god and as close as a long lost lover. And he almost believed him to be both. Raven showed Mibu that his powers could do good and that they could be controlled. He told him of distant worlds from other dimensions that were beautiful and terrifying at the same time. And in their adventures Mibu experienced the horror that was the dimensions of Hell... and brought face to face with the soul of his first love, Cory.
Although Mibu was forced to /physically/ leave Cory behind in Hell, Cory's memory and all of the emotions that came with him were brought back to Mibu with all the force of a speeding train.
Mibu was now determined, more than ever, to gain control of his powers, so that nothing would ever happen again against his will. He was also, to perhaps an even greater degree, determined to win the love of Raven... whom he had fallen for hook, line, and sinker.
Because beneath that cold exterior and self-righteous and businesslike Phantom, Raven was just a frightened, lonely boy like himself. Both lost with no one to hold them when things went wrong and tell them it would be alright. No one that understood them and no one that they could trust. Mibu wanted to fill that void in Raven's life and have Raven fill it in his... but Raven, unlike Cory, was straight. And despite all of Mibu's efforts, he kept his protective shell wrapped firmly around him, leaving Mibu out in the cold and lonely dark.
Yet somehow, after all was said and done, and the demon sufficiently disposed of, Mibu got to Raven. He agreed to help Mibu with his powers like Racial never had been able to, and together they left the barren world that had been Mibu's for those past, long 17 years, and set off on the next adventure, never looking back.
Now
Now we find ourself at present day, where Mibu travels with his 'teacher' Raven, going through the dimensions and searching out demons and other instigators of chaos.
As he gets more skilled at using his powers and actually uses them more and more often, his true nature starts to awaken once again. Soon he is capable of doing things he'd never dreamed of... and then.
Then he will transform.
Now it's here that I am a bit shaky about how to do the actual 'transformation'.. but I know it's going to have to be something big. Which is why I am DEFINITELY going to roleplay him in my /huge-plot-roleplay-guild-that's-mega-big-and-awesome/... o__O Yeahhhh. I've pretty much decided it will be in the final battle though, at the height of his powers, when it happens. Eieeeie -so excited-
Well I think it's time to turn off the 'Crazy Charms' now, and get back to business. But I hope that what you have read from his story is sufficient enough to catch your interest ^^
Here are just a few of the different powers that Rheagal -and other Reaper Dragons- wield.
-glamouring, which is creating a physical illusion over the body so it looks like something else. Rhaegal is really a huge dragon of death, but when he is glamoured to look like Mibu he looks and feels just like a little 17 year old boy with blue eyes and brown hair. He is in a human body basically.
-traveling dimensions
-death touch (pushes the 3 forces apart, simultaneously. Its realllly bloody, cause blood is a part of the spirit and it's… well it's being forced out.)
-make zombies (just dead bodies infused with a spirit and a spell)
-can see ghosts and other creatures in parallel dimensions
-stronger dragons can control dreams, which are in the dreaming dimensions. That's where the soul goes when the body is asleep. It's tied to the body by a fine line of consciousness..
-resurrect animals and other soulless beings easily
-resurrect humans and creatures with souls if they haven't been dead too long.. the line that used to connect the soul to the body is still nearby, so the reaper dragons can catch them and retie the soul to the body, as long as the spirit is still strong enough
-Annnnnd if they are REALLY powerful, they can resurrect long dead souls. Buttt that requires the dragon to go searching the dimensions for the soul, which takes a very long time and if the soul was reincarnated he has to wait until its life is over.
-they can also make 'cadavri' (yeah another something I made up x.x), but that's really.. bad. Most reaper dragons act as guardians of the soul and spirit. But yeah- cadavri are souls that are trapped in a dead corpse without a spirit to animate it. Basically it's like your mind is working but your body isn't. A punishment only suitable for the most serious of crimes… like destroying a dimension or something o_O. Or really corrupt necromancers will use this to turn a soul insane.
Sooo yeah. Those are just a few lines of my many many thoughts that are flying through my head right now. I have tons more notes on the 3 forces… if you're interested at all you can neomail me and I'll tell you more. Mainly this is just information for ME to keep so I can use it when I'm roleplaying or writing about Rhae.

 First thing I want you to see is a picture I drew /this/(actually it was like in january =p) morning of Rhaegal. And yes, I drew it around 7 am, because I woke up with his idea in my head and could not get it out until I drew him u.u
And here is another picture that I used for the background on my userlookup:
Annnnd one more (Rhae flying in the clouds... well. You can't see the clouds in that one. =p But the cloud version IS on my charms_shadowedlight lookup ^^):
I love art, and am constantly trying out new mediums to use in expressing my drawings. I probably have used every stupid computer art program at least once, and am currently trying to master watercolor xD
... Of course, this will change once I see something else that catches my fancy, but for now lets just look at a /few/ of the pictures I have drawn of Mibu in the past. (Oh dear... some of those are terrible! xDD -laughs at the first one-)
Also, if you like the background image, the full picture in all its glory is here:
If you're interested in viewing the rest of my art gallery, please feel free to check out my deviant account, here:
I have made up some cute draik adoptables... and will make them for anyone interested, even if I don't get Rhaegal (which would be terrible! ;-;) ... but yeah x)
For now I'm only doing customs and basic colors, but will probably get around to making all the cool draik colors as well, as soon as I finish this application. :3
Oh no! An army of sleeping draiks! (I have a few different variations of colors in there too xD):
 
_______________
Also, here is a different take on the wings:
And here are some adopties that I already made for people:
Here are some cute adoptables of Rhae that kind people have made for me =3
Ooh yay! Fanart already!

 Cats cant sing if the sun won't die
I tried to find the words
The moon lets out her mournful sigh
Yet mine is barely heard
We always try to talk above
The shrill of all and else
But once you've done your push and shove
You'll find your by yourself
I sang a song that no one heard or read
But it will still echo once I am dead
~Charms
I.. am a roleplay addict. Yes I admit it. I take pride in all of my characters and make sure they are well developed, spoiled with tons of artwork, and inextricably tied into countless roleplays and stories.
Ahem
For now I think I will just give you an example of an intro I could use to roleplay with Rhaegal if I get him. It's just a few weeks after his first transformation, and he leaves to go and think things through by himself. ^^;;
Silence.
Rhaegal soared high in the sky, far from the world below. His wings just skimmed the tops of the clouds.. an intangible blanket of white. The sun glittered on charcoal black scales as the cold wind tried her best to dig her prying fingers into his bones.
Here he was free, away from all the trash and destruction of the human world. Only here. Rhaegal beat his wings again, lowering the right one and turning to the east. It wouldn't take long before he reached the mountains, where he would have time to rest and think. Think about everything that was happening... everything that was going to happen.
Rhaegal left the clouds, and then there they were. Rising into the sky, strong and impassive, the snow tipped mountains stood as a beacon of safety, just for him.
Soon he was flying above the pines, weighed down with snow, as he searched for an open place to land.
There.
Alighting in a small clearing, he took a look around. Nothing but a few birds darting here and there, and one lone rabbit cleaning its nose. A winter wonderland. The dragon closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. The temptation to just lay down and sleep came over him, but he knew that even dragons could freeze to death, and sleeping in the arctic mountains was not a good idea without mortal fire. And he didn't want to have anything to do with mortals for a while, so fires were out of the question.
Curling up to conserve heat, he let his mind wander.
He may have been a dragon, but he still thought like a human. This.. this was all new to him. Rhaegal wondered about the others. He knew they were out there. They had to be. Other dragons like himself.. but smarter. Wiser. More powerful. They had to be. He wanted to find them, talk to them, but he didn't know where to start. And why had they abandoned him in the first place? Why had he never known...
The person that was Mibu inside him was scared and confused. He wanted to go back to Raven. But Rhaegal knew that Raven couldn't help them right now, and he was going to have to sort things out by himself.
The wind whistled through the trees, singing a mournful tune that echoed in the dragon's heart.
I have created a roleplay and art guild/club/forums/whatever you wish to call it/ that will be opening in the summer.
Rhaegal already has a major role in it should I get him (this will be where I roleplay Mibu realizing he is a dragon). If you like to roleplay, you are always welcome to join. Right now I am getting it all ready for the community's grand opening. Otherwise, I will provide the link just so you can see my big project (remove spaces):
As stated above, over the time I have roleplayed with Mibu my friend and I wrote a large roleplay story that we are planning on turning into a graphic novel. The /almost/ finished script is posted online below, in case you were interested in reading a bit of it. Mibu is by me, of course, and Raven is by Christine. Lipoi, Racial, and Cory are also by me, and the rest of the characters are shared. Please excuse any poor grammar or writing... it was quite awhile ago that we wrote it. I also would like to warn you that there is some graphic content as well, in case you don't care for that type of thing

 Ohh boy... here come the other guys... o__o
xD Here are just 5 of my many, many characters that I have created and grown to love over the years.. It's not necessary you read them, but I guarantee it will be interesting if you do
Lipoi
 Lipoi is one of my very first characters… right after Koren. With her vibrant pink hair and deadly green viper (snake) around her neck, she isn't easily missed in a crowd. Lipoi's a professional assassin, bipolar, and an alcoholic. Her weapon of choice is an old colt python she acquired years ago when she was out 'privateer-ing' with her adoptive uncle. She wears pink contacts, dyes her hair to no-end, and usually wears guys' jeans and a band tee. If you can't tell, she isn't much on appearances. Lipoi carries around two personas- either she is bored and becomes very talkative and blunt, hanging out at parks, café's, or other social places, Or she is in a bad mood and keeps a strict 'buzz off' attitude. Either way, Lipoi is a very wacky and volatile person that is apt to change her mood or opinion without warning. She has a quick and fiery temper that serves to get her in a few tight spots, especially in her line of work. Her strong character and aloofness usually get her quite a bit of attention with the guys (her looks help that as well), but after the way her father treated her she has always maintained a 'guys are scum' mentality. Go girl power?
Geibler
 Geibler is… well. Geibler. Probably one of the most entertaining characters to roleplay, I like to make him pop up in random places whenever I think a roleplay needs a bit more... spice. Prone to talking in third person, eating live rats in front of people, and threatening to burn witches, Geibler is the type of character you avoid at all costs. A poltergeist, he claims to have died 413 years ago in a plague… but older sources say differently. Cruel and easily bored, Geibler constantly travels the dimensions searching for something or someone to occupy his interest. If you are ever around when you hear this little demon say the fated words 'I'm bored'.. it would be best if you started running. Fast. He is around 3 feet tall and wears a crimson suit with a black skull tie. His bare feet reveal gross, crooked black toenails that match his fingernails, and his hair is a mop of black strands. Golden owl eyes peer out from a pointed goblin face, and his black beard curls into a point at his chin. Aforementioned interests include- Eating disgusting foods, burning witches, vampires, and everyday mortals as well, and tormenting his two favorite people- Haplo and Kalvin. (Haplo is below; Kalvin is my friend's character)
Creightyn
 Creightyn is another one of those species that I come up with on my own. nox noctis diabolus- aka "dark elf". A moody individual with a dry sense of humor, Creightyn can usually be found carrying out orders for the Orken, or, in his free time, flirting with the ladies. Being a dark elf, his father sold him to the leaders of the orken race for a standard, one hundred year contract. However, since this is renewable, Creightyn is on his 114th year of servitude. Not by his choice, of course. This 'sentence' means that whatever his masters tell him to do, he HAS to do, no matter if he wants to or not. This has twisted him into a very frustrated and angry person, with little patience or respect for others (that means he's rude xD). Dark elf powers include traveling dimensions, telekinesis, summoning objects to his hand, glamouring (this allows him to appear human), and.. a lot more. Cold and indifferent, Creightyn built a shell around himself... to protect himself from the people that wanted to get in… and to protect the people he would have cared about from himself. But his latest 'job'- kidnapping a muse- isn't working out so well… And perhaps that shell he built wasn't as strong as he thought after all.
Rheyl
Despairing, cold, cruel, and dark, Rheyl is my lovable vampire. -cough- Okay, well, lovable from a distance anyways. Rheyl is corrupted and confused… A staunch Catholic before he was 'brought over', he's rapidly losing control over himself in his frustrations over his dying faith and his inability to quench his thirst for blood. Irrepressible and animalistic when he needs to drink, his body takes over and doesn't give him back his reason until he has finished... left with another beautiful woman, dead in his arms. His own worst enemy and disgracer is himself, of course, and his mind is in constant torment over his fading morals and the pleasure he gets from hunting and killing his victims… which are always female by the way ;) Rheyl is a towering 6 and a half feet tall, with blood red hair that falls to his shoulders and dark red eyes. In his own twisted humor about vampire superstition, he always wears an ornate cross around his neck and hangs garlic in his kitchen. Anddd last but not least, I almost forgot to mention that he and Lipoi are siblings. Surprised? So were they.
Haplo
 Haplo is my little baby =3. Always with a tired, wary look on his face, he can currently be found walking the streets of some huge city, taking in the life and color of the people and places around him. Escaped from a mental institution, he was being treated for schizophrenia. Before being diagnosed, he lived in an orphanage with his little sister, Laura. After she died he started acting very strange, and after trying to hurt himself ("They forced me to") he was transferred to an asylum. So he has never been introduced to the world outside of his white walls, and now that he has found it, he can't stop sucking it in. However… he is no longer drugged under medication, and familiar voices are buzzing in his ears. Haplo has long, ashen hair that hangs in his face and eyes that are black... with tiny specks of gold, like flickers of hope in a lost world that has almost given up.
(Haplo has two takes on his story- the other is that he isn't actually schizo, but a soul that was born trapped in the bridge of dimensions. Therefore, he can see creatures from other dimensions that normal people cannot see, and being anchored in a bridge, his soul serves as a beacon to some not-so-friendly specters. Such as Geibler……)
This is the 'about me' section of the application, where you learn all about me and then stalk me for a few months x)
Hmm... Basically I'm a 17 year old girl living in the USA.. hurrah u.u I love Europe and Japan and want to visit these places someday. (Along with Egypt and the Mayan temples in South America/Central America). I am agnostic and love to think about random philosophical theories while riding the bus.
My mind goes at around 20 thoughts per second, and I have a hard time getting things done because I'm constantly stopping projects to go start a new one that pops into my head. Which is probably why this application took so long to get to you XD
As stated before, I am into writing, music, and art.
With writing- I have around 4 books that I'm working on at the same time, as different inspirations prompt me to work on different things. I also want to write Graphic Novels when I'm older, so I have one of those started as well.
With Music... I play piano and am teaching myself
guitar. (And with my attention span the way it is.. its taking awhile =p) I also desperately want to learn how to play violin. I listen to every kind of music as long as it's good, but my favorite 'genre' is alternative. My top 3 bands are Radiohead, The Cure, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.. yummm.
And then Art... I prefer traditional over digital art, since I like to be able to work 'hands-on' on my pieces. Usually I sketch a piece, line it, then if I want it for neopets, scan it and color it on the computer with my tablet. Mostly I draw humans, but I have also been practicing up on dragons lately... hmm, wonder why xD
Well that's the main info on me anyways ^^ If you REALLY want to get to know me, my myspacies is uhmmm
charms_shadowed
WHEEE so there. I had fun designing my html for minespace by the way, if you just want to check it out for the cool lookup

 Well first of all I would like to just say thank you for taking the time to read this long and (more than likely) obsessive application. =3 This is probably one of the hardest-to-get (for a good reason) pets I've applied for, and I understand whole heartedly if you don't choose me. Just know that I would never apply for Rhae if I didn't plan on spoiling him rotten, and I don't care about avatar's or anything else of that nature. (I don't even get on the neoboards anymore anyways- too risky of getting frozen and all there is on there is n00bs)
(Wait. IS there even an avatar you can get from owning a draik..? o.O)
If you are looking for a "Why Me" section.. I'm sorry to say that there really isn't one. I'm hoping that this whole application, with content, my writing, the time I put in, the art I did, and my other accounts and pets will allow you to make your OWN decision whether or not I am worthy, over all the other applicants, to adopt Rhaegal. I put out all my efforts to make sure I did everything I could in my attempts, and that is all I can say for myself.
Now. I do love Rhaegal because he is a draik, but only that because draiks are the closest neopets to a dragon that I can find. Why is it my luck that they are the most expensive?? Because fate hates me, that's why. -_-
Anyways. o_o
Before you go, I'm going to include some of the "less important to Rhae, but important to us" information
I do have all 3 MESSy ENd GER programs, I'll tell you them over neomail if chosen ^^
All of my transfer experience has been positive, and I have never lost a pet in transfers.. Although I did get mad when two of the girls that were chosen for my pets pounded them -_- But seeing as I know exactly how that feels, you have no need to worry about me EVER pounding Rhae.
In the past, I have been frozen twice. Once for roleplaying over neomail where our pet's 'kissed', and the other for... well I really don't know and never will.
The latest freezing was over 2 years ago, however, and since then I have taken dozens of precautions against getting frozen again.
-I roleplay off-neo
-I keep all my expensive pets, neopoints, and lab on my main account, and do not use it when I go on neoboards or neomail people.. or when I over customize my lookup.
I've been playing on neopets since I was about 10.. my oldest remaining account is.. -cringe- triscut1234567890.. and is just a storage account. A complete list of all my accounts is here:
charmsxx (co-main),
charms_shadowedlight (co-main),
levrl_ley (side),
charms_computerelf (side),
mydarkfairytale (storage), and
triscut1234567890 (storage)
I plan on adopting Rhaegal on the main account listed above, which is Charmsxx. Currently I only have one lab pet on there, since I recently cleared my accounts of my undeveloped pets, but the account is all tidied up now and ready for Rhae if I am chosen ^^
And here is the QAL:
http://www.neopets.com/process_adopt.phtml?pet_name=Rhaegal
Finally, here are a few links to my dedication pages and soforth (also located in the link bar to the right =D):
-Rhaegal's future pet lookup
~Tadaa~
-Gallery of items I will be using on Rhaegal (plus a picture of him as Mibu xD)
~Gallery~
-And a link to my main account, which has been themed all.. uhm. Rhaegal-ish
~UserLookup~
((Heh I did charms_shadowedlight too:))
~UserLookup.. part 2! =O~
___________
Finally, a link to this application which will also (If I get Rhae) be his link back until I make his final petpage.
Lastly, I did get a few of my friends and others to write some recommendations/referrals/whatchamacallits xD
I'm not much a fan of these, but in case you were, I thought I'd ask for some... The link to the page is right below- I didnt want to make the app any longer than it needed to be xD
~Referrals~
Please note that all coding belongs to Charms. All images belong to Charms as well, unless other wise stated above or below
The pixel art is all taken from pixeljoint(dot)com. Hover over the images to see the artist.
There are also a few adoptables I collected scattered throughout the page- click on them to go to the owner.
And finally I just wanted to say thank you to everyone one neopound for their wonderful comments and critique.. and for the people that gave me fanart, which I love =3
