In the distance, those stationed at Lilycove would be able to see a vast army of Megalopolans stationed at various points on the route. More ominously, large obsidian-hued trammels dig deep into islands and point toward the sky like swords. One trammel stands above a seaside town. It has been repurposed into a Megalopolan war camp. Reports say some residents remain there, perhaps, as bartering tools. However, as time goes by, the screams of those unfortunate to be eaten can be heard.
[break][break][break]
Nihilego wander the central part of the route, their tentacles ever grasping. The Megalopolans come prepared with pilfered Pokemon of their own alongside their usual toxic fare of Naganadels.[break][break][break]
A deafening noise like an explosion, roars in the horizon. It seems to come from the islands they inhabit. A chorus of war cries follow. A wave of attacks commences. Three boats filled with Megalopolan soldiers advance toward the beach with Naganadels positioned at their fronts. From their purple jaws, energy builds.[break][break][break]
One Naganadel fires a concentrated
SLUDGE BOMB toward the coast, while two direct their attacks to the air. Purplish balls of draconic energy soar into the heavens before breaking apart.
DRACO METEORS fall toward the coast, its destructive power aiming to maim Pokemon, people, and vessels.[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
Behind them, a flock of Naganadel and Flying Pokemon, large enough to blot the sky, follow. They in turn, fire their own attacks:
AIR SLASHES, HEAT WAVES and more serve as artillery, before swooping in to get into melee range. Several Megalopolans are mounted on these Pokemon, intending to drop on to the coast (or people) with their stun batons and teeth.[break][break][break]

❝ LET ME TELL YOU A TALE about the
LEGEND OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STARS'. during ancient civilization there was an indigenous group that worshiped
THE GREAT STAR DRAGON. this dragon had been given an appellation, "
THE GREEN STAR," but its true name was known as
RAYQUAZA. the people of the stars worshiped rayquaza beneath the sky temple. in exchange for prayer and reverence, the great star dragon protected them from natural disasters, wicked disturbances, unwanted visitors, and monsters.
[break][break][break]
and those "monsters" were very real, they served as the source for their natural disasters. they were a danger to their home. these two great beasts fought and tore the land asunder, roaring eruptions, and oceans raised. until the great star dragon, rayquaza, intervened. alone it fought, but did not refuse help from one individual who would be deemed not only its rider, but as
THE DRAGON LORD. with their help, rayqauza was able to calm the beasts.
[break][break][break]
after balance was restored.
THE DRAGON LORD fell ill before his people. the power that was used to aid rayqauza in its fight became too much of a toll for their body, their people had lost their leader. as compensation for their loss, rayquaza would gift the people of the stars something equivalent to what their leader gave to him: a piece of it.
[break][break][break]
that's right, as compensation for their leader's sacrifice, rayquaza would grant them a piece of itself—the
DRAGON'S BIRTHMARK. there were six. each representing a trait that made a leader, each possessing a role that served the people, each unveiling their relation and connection to the people of the stars, and each mark representing a body part of rayquaza. these individuals would come to be known as:
[break][break]
GRAVITY CHILDREN OF THE STARS
[break][break]
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
[break][break]
FROM THE EARTH, WE WILL GROW[BREAK]
FROM THE ASHES, WE WILL RISE[BREAK]
FROM WATER WE ARE BORN[BREAK]
TO WATER WE RETURN[BREAK]
ALL OF ME, FOR ALL OF YOU[BREAK]
MAY WE MEET AGAIN
[break][break][break]
a sacred mantra that is used today by their descendants,
THE DRACONID TRIBE, as a send off. since ancient civilization, with each new generation, we remained secluded.
PRAYING TO THE STAR DRAGON for protection. alas, we will soon need the six to gather in prepartion for
THE DARK STAR. protecting our sacred teachings and preserving what's left of our people in order to ensure both our home and the region's safety, our generation must find the six descendants of the gravity children.
IT HAS BEEN FORETOLD BY PROPHECY:
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
THE POISONOUS STAR will soon invade these lands,
THE CREATURE BORN OF MAGMA will someday return. it had long since been foreseen, approximately a millennium ago, that
DANGER WOULD GROW FOR THIS REGION. with the
CULT OF AVATAR looming in the dark,
THE SIX will be needed in order to defeat them. and a new
DRAGON LORD, or rather their reincarnation, must be found for they are the only one who can bring rayquaza down from heaven.
[break][break][break]
with evil on the horizon, the lands of this region and our people can no longer involve themselves with league.
[break][break][break]
I AM ELDER DRACO, the current elder of the draconid tribe and village leader.
THOUGH BLOOD MAY NOT BE SHARED, the gravity children walk the earth once more. awaiting for
THE LOREKEEPER, one of the six, to awaken them. the moment is nigh, our people and this world will once more fall to darkness if they are not found, for without
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE GRAVITY CHILDREN, it's unprecedented as to what will become of this region.

LOCATION
METEOR VILLAGE is a village located within
METEOR FALLS and
HOME TO THE DRACONID PEOPLE. the village is located within a very tall mountain, to be exact the mountain where
ONE OF THE THREE WARS OCCURRED. the name of this mountain is called
DRAGONFALL.[break][break][break]
there are only
TWO KNOWN ENTRANCES:
(1.) the first, and obvious entrance, being the mouth of the cave.
(2.) the second, and most dangerous, is the mountain's summit. traversing such a path will require a pokemon capable of flight. it's highly not suggested that this route is taken unless one has gone through the proper training. in order to access this path one must be taught by a draconid member, who are the secret to overcoming the high altitude trek.
[break][break][break]
once you enter the cavern, it's easy to get lost if one does not have a guide. but once you make it through the complex maze, there is a great beauty within the village. there is a total of about 150+ people living within the village. the draconid own a large amount of land. the entrance to outsides is extremely limited.
[break][break][break]
they have an excessive amount of notable places within.
PARKS,
HOT SPRINGS,
HOSPITALS,
DOJOS, and
TRAINING FACILITIES. the homes within the village take on a traditional minka style. outside of traditional dragons, various pokemon can be found in meteor village; such a reason can be explained within the section of
RELIGIOUS BELIEF.. [break][break][break]
LANGUAGE
SKAIGEDASLENG ( sky-ghey-da-sleng ), better known as
DRAGON TONGUE, is a language that is believed to be dead but is taught to those born of draconian lineage; therefore, it can be considered a hidden language that is rarely taught. it is the common tongue among the draconid people, but is not their only language. this language does not possess a writing system. this language has a strong connection to dragon-type pokemon, but can be taught to those outside of the species through special training.
[break][break][break]
THE LANGUAGE IS PHONETIC, meaning how it is seen is the way it is pronounced. it's pretty easy once you have an understanding. but it's also not required you speak it or learn it, your character can always italicize, color code, or even "*" what they're saying in order to make it seem as though they're speaking the language. this is just fun for me personally. plus i thought it'd be a cool concept to add.
[break][break][break]
so there's a lot to learn with this language, from verbs, satellites, modals, auxiliaries, etc. i'm not going to go through all of that for a role-play; plus, i'm lazy and spent too much time on this section. this section would take me an ion to write out. so what i can do is this:
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
SACRED ART(S) TRAINING
THE STUDY CHAMBER is a special location found within the depths of meteor falls cave: dragonfall. by entering through the mouth of the cave,
(AS MENTIONED IN LOCATION) inside dragonfall one will come to find a single path escorting them to a wide open space. at the center of that space you will find a fountain spewing water; inside of the water fountain you will come to see a plethora of
MOONFLOWER PETALS floating about. atop of the fountain there is a statue in the shape of a strange dragon. beyond the fountain you will feel a breeze from different directions, but all that lies ahead is darkness. emerging from that path will be a guide, instructing you on what to do next: [break][break][break]
❝ I AM EJDER and i am THE GUARDIAN OF DRAGONFALL'S ENTRANCE. beyond this path lay many passages. (A.)if your purpose for being here is to gain ADMITTANCE into METEOR VILLAGE, you must undergo three trials. each far more difficult than the last.[break][break][break]
though, should your reason for being here involve a different path. (B.)one can only assume you're here to seek greater KNOWLEDGE, perhaps STRENGTH, maybe TRUTH, or could it be GROWTH? regardless, BOTH OPTIONS REQUIRE THAT YOU DRANK FROM THE FOUNTAIN. for once you do, the trial will have already started...[break]
*if you can survive the DEVIL'S BREATH.
[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
YOU AWAKEN INSIDE OF A STRANGE ROOM on top of a bed. the room is decorated aesthetically to match your character. this room is known as
THE STUDY CHAMBER, a special location hidden deep within dragonfall. you will come to notice that your attitre is also different from when you entered dragonfall's maw. [break][break][break]
*the attire in question depends on whether
YOU'RE AN OUTSIDER OR A MEMBER OF THE DRACONID TRIBE:[break][break][break]
[break][break][break]
THIS IS PROOF that you've succeeded in overcoming the devil's breath. now you have proven yourself worthy to attempt at challenging
THE FOUR SHINING STARS. these individuals are who will be training you. each have their own teaching, each will bestow onto you a gift, each will have their own test(s), and each will judge you accordingly.
[break][break][break]
* the four shining stars and their trials were written out, but i decided to take them out for the time being. they're mainly for plot reasons, and are also for people interested in plotting with the draconid tribe for whatever reason. for now i'll keep the information on them out until there's reason to introduce them.
[break][break][break]
RELIGIOUS BELIEF
THE DRACONID TRIBE ARE A HENOTHEISTIC GROUP that believe in rayquaza, but do not deny the existence of other legendary pokemon. they believe that their god is benevolent and serve as a protector for not just their people, but all of hoenn. where there are benevolent deities, there are also dark ones. [break][break][break]
the dark ones are referred to as
MONSTERS,
TITANS,
PRIMAL BEASTS, you name it. many stories are passed down from generation to generation; each with their own tale and spin. some famous ones are the following:
A TITAN THAT SLEEPS IN MAGMA,
A BEAST THAT RESIDES BENEATH THE OCEAN FLOOR'S SEABED,
THE POISONED STAR, and many more. some believe them to have been born through premonitions, others scary stories to tell in the dark, or experiences that were witnessed by ancestors now told as stories. but with prayer to their god these dark deities won't easily instill fear into them.
[break][break][break]
the draconid tribe emphasize a strong belief that dragon-type pokemon are the origin of all pokemon. believing that each type is somehow derived from a powerful dragon. so, to them, it's not odd for a dragon-type specialist to roam about with a pokemon such as "whismur" as their chosen partner. to them all pokemon are, in a way, dragon-types. such a belief system isn't exactly easy to understand to those who're outsiders and require one to experience their biblical teachings personally from a tribe member.
ACTIVE MEMBERS
[break][break]
DESCENDANTS OF THE DRACONID TRIBE, this is a listing of those who are currently active, abscond, deceased, and/or alive. it is a list that keeps track of those who have some relation to the draconid people.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED that your character can completely be unaware of their family heritage to this tribe (
IF YOU SO CHOOSE). in fact, the draconid people also have a
STRONG BELIEF IN REINCARNATION; therefore, your character doesn't exactly have to have a background saying they were born among them. although, it should be taken into consideration that that excuse has a small catch to it. there are some on hoenn who are unaware that they have ties to the draconid tribe, somewhere along their family bloodline they grew distant. thus, there's a strong chance of you being a distant relative should you so choose to wanna be apart of this.[break][break]

DESCENDANTS OF THE GRAVITY CHILDREN
DRAGON'S BIRTHMARK
DESCENDANTS OF THE GRAVITY CHILDREN
[break][break]
THE GRAVITY CHILDREN OF THE STARS are a group said to be the descendants of the first dragon lord. in legend it is stated that when the first dragon lord, rayquaza's chosen rider, tamed the green star. that individual aided the legendary being in sealing away two creatures that were told to have been born of the earth and the sea; destined to fight for eternity. there are many variations of the story, but one thing that they all have in common in the end is this: six people were chosen to lead the people of the stars, each embodying a power, triait, or skill that made them a leader.
[break][break][break]
rayquaza's rider, the first dragon lord, died soon after the battle. upon his deathbed the people of the stars were left without a leader, due to him never having children. so, as a gift, rayquaza bestowed six individuals with a mark,
THE DRAGON'S BIRTHMARK: the
HEAD, the
TAIL, the
CLAW, the
FOOT, the
WINGS, and the
HEART. each of these marks were imprinted somewhere upon their body, and each person was said to represent a trait or possess a skill that made up a leader.
[break][break][break]
these birthmarks are what bind them by fate. without the dragon lord, it was impossible to call upon rayquaza. only these six individuals were capable of making the decision of a leader. just like a star, they would guide them toward a better tomorrow—no matter the cost. eventually, with each passing century, they slowly became nothing ore than a distant memory.
[break][break]
it was said that the only person to remain leading the tribe was
THE LOREKEEPER. the one who held the tribe's history in the palm of their hands. it's unknown as to what happened to the other five. history dictates that they eventually moved onto another life. their bloodline no more. it's possible, or rather speculated, that reincarnation is possible. no one is exactly sure how one can go about finding them. even so, the elder of the tribe believes that they're here in hoenn somewhere.
AS TEMPORARY LOREKEEPER, he can sense it.
