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 (:sparkles:evolution​:sparkles:). 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!

“Hey SPAD, wanna race?”
The large plane dragon made a low rumbling sound in their throat before turning to look at Piper, the speaker.
“I bet I’ll beat ya this time!” Piper said, rushing forward to stand in front of SPAD.
SPAD only shook their head, fluttering their humongous, dragonfly-like wings.
“Come on, I know we’re near the city, but it’ll be fine. We just... won’t run into anything or anyone!”
Before SPAD had time to protest, Piper had already ripped off a chunk of cloud and swallowed it, readying herself for the race. SPAD sighed, taking a starting position next to Piper.

(Okay, I think I got my characters. Pardon my lack of aircraft knowledge)

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:

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.

(Does that work?)

(Yes, that’s great! I’ll add them to the characters section)

(Cool, sounds good! So should i just have them fly in then and start or should I wait for you to set something up instead?)

(Pretty much anything works for me! SPAD and Piper are just outside the city, though I’m planning for them to go in soon, so if you want Selena and Zephyr to be in the city, that’s cool, or if you want them to be closer to SPAD and Piper, that’s cool too)

(Plus I just went first, so you can go next lol)

(Sounds good. I think I'll have them be in the city.)

Two more dragons were in the nearby city.

'Well Selena, anything you want to do first?" the tall green one asked, looking around at their new surroundings as they just arrived in town.

“On three?” Piper asked, not taking her sights off the view ahead.
SPAD groaned again, but didn’t protest further.
“One... two... three!”
Piper was off like a shot, tearing above the clouds.
SPAD yawned, giving Piper a bit of a head start before starting to fly. They flapped their wings a few times, catching up to Piper in less than a minute.
Piper turned her head to see her companion flying at her side. Letting out a grunt, she pushed harder, trying her best to pull in front of SPAD.
And yet she couldn’t. SPAD had been doing this longer than Piper had been alive; they were an expert racer.
Piper decided to fly into the city, hoping that she could lose SPAD by tricking them into flying near some skyscrapers.
SPAD noticed Piper taking a sharp turn into the city, and followed her. They had a good idea of what she was trying to do. So, they let themself fall back a bit, knowing that there was a much larger chance of them destroying something than there was of Piper doing the same.
Piper looked back at SPAD. “Ha!” she laughed. “You’ve given up so soon?”
She raced ahead, giddy with excitement. She was finally going to beat SPAD in a race! Or she might’ve, if she hadn’t crashed headfirst into a stand selling newspapers.

"Ah, quite the spill you too there! Is everything okay?" Zephyr asked as he and Selena flew over to help Piper out of the stand.

Piper stood up with the help of Zephyr. “Yeah, I’m fine...” she grumbled, disappointed due to yet another loss.
SPAD glided over before setting themself down next to the group and making a weird chortling noise.
“Yeah yeah, you won again,” Piper said, waving them off. She turned back to Zephyr, eyeing him curiously. “Say, who are you? Don’t think I’ve ever seen you before.”

"Good to hear that. My name is Zephyr and my friend here is Selena." he said, pointing to the small,stocky blue dragon who waved happily.

"Hello!" Selena said.

"We just moved here today, actually." Zephyr added.

“Nice to meet ya!” Piper said, holding out a clawed hand/paw/whatever for Zephyr to shake. “What do you think of the city so far? I really like it, but that’s probably just because I’ve lived here all my life. I haven’t even gone down to Earth yet. Have you been to Earth? Is that where you moved from? Wh-“
SPAD huffed loudly to let Piper know she was asking too many questions at once.

"Pleased to meet you both as well! It seems like a nice enough place from what little we've seen so far." Zephyr said to Piper, shaking her paw.

"We actually moved from another plane dragon city to here." Selena explained.

(Alrighty I’m back)

“Oh really? How far did you guys travel?” Piper asked, cocking her head.

"Somewhere from around England I think...." Zephyr said thoughtfully.

(Sorry I’m back now, was playing a game wit my family)

“England, huh?” Piper said, scratching the back of her head. “Guess you came pretty far, then. You crossed over an entire ocean.”

"Yeah, we did fly for a long time...." Selena said, realizing how hungry their flight made her as she looked down at her fluffy belly.
