Sup y’all! For Christmas, one of my close friends (ZestyKaktus on Instagram, check him out) gifted me with a very cool character named SPAD.
They’re a plane dragon (Open species made by scpkid on DeviantArt)! I absolutely love them and wanna use them in something. But, I’m already working on another comic of mine, so it wouldn’t exactly be the best idea to switch projects. So, I figured why not make an RP with them and another plane dragon I made?
Characters:
Character bios will go here. I’ll start out with mine, and then add more bios as people join.

SPAD
SPAD is a plane dragon based off of the French SPAD S.XIII biplane used in WWI. As they are based off of an older plane, they are more animal-like than plane dragons based off of more recent planes (
evolution
). They can’t speak English, but are revered as royalty by other plane dragons (more on this in the lore and world section). They appear somewhat intimidating upon first meeting them, but upon getting to know them they are quite shy and gentle, though they are not without pride. They are aware of their royal status, and like to show it off when appropriate. They are friends with Piper, often trying to keep her out of trouble.
Piper
Piper is a plane dragon based off of a U.S. Navy Blue Angel jet. As she is based off of a modern plane, she is less animalistic than SPAD, with the ability to walk on two legs and speak English. She is also not royalty.
Piper, like a lot of other plane dragons, is competitive and loves to race. She is very outgoing and friendly, and loves to talk. She often visits SPAD, and have yet to win a race against them.

Zephyr
Zephyr:
A slender green and yellow plane dragon with blue goggles. Built for speed and graceful movements. Can produce lightning and strong winds with his turbines.
Selena
Selena:
Small and fluffy blue and purple plane dragon. Quite buff and a bit stocky. Loves to eat clouds and can produce localized thunderstorms and strong winds as well. Zephyr's best friend.
Lore and world
Plane dragons have a very loose canon as said by scpkid. The only canon they have is that they live in a peaceful society with an infinite amount of resources. I have created a little more lore for this RP specifically, but it’s nothing drastic.
So for this world, plane dragons that are based off of Wright Brothers/WWI/early aviation era aircraft are much larger than regular plane dragons, and are seen as royalty or upper class. They are also more animalistic, as they walk on four legs. They can’t speak English, though they can understand it. There are only a few of these early aviation era dragons left, which is part of why they’re seen as higher beings than regular plane dragons.
The plane dragons live in the sky above Earth, so if we really want, we can go down to the ground and meet some humans. If there are human characters you have that you really want to have the group meet, maybe we can have the plane dragons run into them when they go to Earth!
That’s all I have for lore so far. I haven’t developed this world too terribly much, and while that might cause some inconveniences in the RP, I think it also means that there are very few strings to hold us down if there’s something specific we want to do!
Rules
The rules for this RP are pretty simple. First make a plane dragon character (or more if you want, but I suggest that you cap it off around four or five characters) that you can use. If you already have one and would like to use it instead of making a new one, go right ahead! You can also turn existing characters of yours into plane dragons if you’d like.
You can make whatever plane dragon you want! It doesn’t even have to be based off of one specific plane! You wanna make a dragon that’s pink and red and doesn’t have the color scheme or structure of any specific existing plane? Do it! You wanna make a royal dragon like SPAD? Go right ahead! Just don’t make your design intentionally hateful or offensive. If you unintentionally make an offensive design, you will still be allowed to RP, but you will have to change the design of your character.
Character rules aside, there are some general housekeeping rules as well. Be courteous to other RPers and characters. It’s alright if a character is a bit prickly, but if they are downright mean and unpleasant to everyone at all times, that will not be tolerated.
In addition to this, do not control other RPers’ characters, please.
I think that’s about everything. I don’t really have a plot set for this RP yet, so we can go pretty much anywhere we want until I figure some more things out. I’ll start out with the post below, and then anyone who wants to join can post a quick bio of their character, and maybe a drawing of their design as well if they’d like.
If you’d like to look at the official plane dragons ref sheet (which I do highly recommend), here’s the link!

And without further ado, let the adventure begin!
