Raffles & Giveaways

[center][b][size=5][color=purple]Chaotic Daydreams would like to welcome you to our second "Dragon Set" raffle![/color][/b][/size][/center] [size=4]For my second group to go out like this, I have a set of seven dragons and a story loosely based on the concept of [url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1103987/]Leverage[/url].[/size] Each of these dragons has an outfit and lore. The story for all of them is mostly the same [i](seeing as how they are interconnected)[/i]... but each of them has a different role in The Con and you get to see how it all fits together by reading in order.

You've become my family, my only family. I won't forget that." [nextcol][img]https://i.postimg.cc/nV4Psh3V/DO7.png[/img] [nextcol][center][color=#fd8311]Personality and Skills[/color][/center] ------------ [size=2][list][*]Bitter[*]Determined[*]Obsessed[*]Puppetmaster[*]Avenger[*]Mastermind[/list][/size] [/columns] [center] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/3caaa74f3741e4fa6e413f278263bfb9/tumblr_inline_o23j1zjnqA1r3lvtf_500.png[/img][/center] [columns] [size=6][color=#fd8311]Past and Recruitment[/color][/size] ---------------- ---------- [size=2] It was the smell of spoiling meat at the side of the road one day that threw StarBlind into a fit of remembrance. Dragged back into her memories against her will, the skydancer could hear her parents' voices pounding at her relentlessly in the small, dirty cave that was their only shelter. "You WILL accept this offer. The gods only know why he wants you, but you're not going to let your family down by passing up the opportunity for us to actually have a good life. You can figure out a way to like him later." And just like that, she'd been handed over to Moon. He was an extremely handsome and well-connected imperial. His family owned most of the various gem and precious metals mines in the area. They had everything - a direct contrast to the absolute nothing her family could call their own - and for some reason she was being asked to join his family. Ever the dutiful daughter, she went. At first it was awkward but not bad. She never felt like she fit in, but at least she had enough to eat and a warm place to sleep. For the first time in her life, she was clean and given lovely clothes and jewelry so that her mate could show her off. She began to think that maybe it wouldn't be too bad... until it was. Moon became more and more demanding and hostile. Soon it became clear he viewed her as a piece of property who should be grateful to be owned after having lived in such squalor before. StarBlind felt more and more miserable, especially after her two daughters were born and their father doted on them and made sure that their affections were firmly fixed on him and his family. Their mother was, in their eyes, just a servant. StarBlind's family, very pleased with how they moved up in the world due to their daughter's new connections, refused to hear anything bad and told her to make sure she didn't 'screw this up' for them. It was when her daughters went off to fight for the gods and her husband began to ignore her utterly that StarBlind finally decided to rebel. She refused to be part of this farce any longer and began to plan her freedom... and her revenge.[/size] [nextcol] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kYCXHUE.png[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/TPKshj4B/DO2.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8aDLqBB.png[/img][/columns] [columns] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kYCXHUE.png[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/TPKshj4B/DO2.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8aDLqBB.png[/img] [nextcol][size=6][color=#fd8311]The Con[/color][/size] ---------------- [center]|| Part One || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59437523]Part Two[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59140571]Part Three[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/58642130]Part Four[/url] || || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57243351]Part Five[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59369527]Part Six[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59384104]Part Seven[/url] ||[/center] ---------- [size=2]The large ballroom was ostentatious, overdone, and absolutely filled to the brim with important dragons here on pleasurable business. From the stage where StarBlind was peeking out from behind a curtain, it almost appeared as if there were currents swirling throughout the room; servers with food, entertainers in the crowd, all the well-dressed, well-to-do guests - everyone somehow moved around each other as if following the steps of some instinctual dance. Dancing. That had been their "in" to make sure that all seven of them were able to get into the stronghold of the most powerful family in the area. The last several weeks had been full of many parts of the operation... but the hardest part had been the practicing of the performance the Starsilk Players. Dressed in similar outfits, and having worked hard to make sure that they were synchronized in more than just dance, the group was finally about to bring off the culmination of all their hard work. The lockets that StarBlind had asked Nightwitch to commission for them were expensive, but worth it. Not only would they magically change the looks of all of them [i](a necessity, since each of them had been part of the con at different steps)[/i], but it would allow them to communicate telepathically with the others so that they could keep their coordination and timing on track. Their success hinged upon everyone being exactly where they needed to be at the precise times calculated. Speaking of timing... "Is everyone done with their part and ready to go on? We need to make sure we're seen to establish our alibis, people." StarBlind listened gleefully to her team report on their readiness. The fireworks were going to begin soon, so it was time to make sure they were seen. Signalling to the band, the skydancer watched with satisfaction as the house lights flickered, then went down low, and the crowd all turned to the stage. Slipping to her place behind the curtain with the others, she waited for the mark and began dancing as soon as the heavy fabric swept out of the way. In the front rows near the stage she could see her husband, Moon, standing with his family and several of their sycophantic followers. The imperial was barely hiding his expression of acquisitiveness as he watched the beautiful dragons dancing in front of him. StarBlind might have been hurt, had she not already been driven past such emotions by her failure of a mate. Instead, she was wryly amused and trying to keep an anticipatory evil smirk off of her face as she waited for the chaos that she knew would begin soon.... She didn't have long to wait. About halfway through their performance, shouts and thuds were heard from the terraces outside. At first everyone stopped in place, their faces filled with confusion. It wasn't until the massive, gilt-covered doors began to quiver with the steady pounding of a battering ram that the crystal bubble of the party really burst and the whirlwind began. As "the rabble" - as Moon and his family called pretty much anyone below their social level - invaded the party and began capturing the rich hosts and their guests, StarBlind grinned to herself and ducked out to take care of some last minute clean-up on their caper. She would be back in time, with the others, to wrap up this little shindig with some order and leadership that the rebellious workers were going to need after they'd blown off a little steam.[/size] [/columns] [columns] [size=6][color=#fd8311]The Future[/color][/size] ---------------- [center]|| Part One || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59437523]Part Two[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59140571]Part Three[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/58642130]Part Four[/url] || || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/57243351]Part Five[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59369527]Part Six[/url] || [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/59384104]Part Seven[/url] ||[/center] ---------- [size=2]As the others were scattering to take care of their last-minute details, StarBlind made her way across the stage and toward the steps going down to the ballroom floor. One of the guards that had defected to their side saw her moving and made sure she wasn't jostled as they wove their way through the melee. The skydancer's goal was the large form of her husband in his new constraining accessories. Once she reached him, she let the disguise drop. Though the imperial was still woozy from the kick he'd received, Moon still glared at his wife. "I thought you stayed home ill tonight. What is going on?!" StarBlind grinned. "I feel much better, now. I took some medicine to fix this horrible illness that had gripped me... and the rest of this town. Seems some parasites had been sucking all the joy, and money, out of our lives. Funny how we're all going to be feeling so much better now that we can pry the suckers off of us." With that cheerful statement, she turned and walked away - ignoring the roared questions and orders that he was throwing at her. It would be up to the council that had been made from the other families, and the agents of law and order that hadn't been bought, to inform Moon and his family exactly what future they had in this town. Since all of their assets were being seized [i](those that hadn't been stolen by the Players)[/i] and they were facing charges, that future wasn't very bright. StarBlind didn't need to gloat. She had what she wanted... her revenge and her freedom. She would give the bulk of their haul back to the people of the town who had worked for it, once she had paid her crew. They had more than earned their shares. She would miss them, when this was all over. Who knew what the future would bring?[/size] [nextcol] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kYCXHUE.png[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/TPKshj4B/DO2.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8aDLqBB.png[/img][/columns] [center] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/3caaa74f3741e4fa6e413f278263bfb9/tumblr_inline_o23j1zjnqA1r3lvtf_500.png[/img][/center] [right][color=black][size=1]CREDITS: "Simple Purpura"; bio design by [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=229207]@meias[/url] Images by [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2118304]Drytil[/url], [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2257922]PoisonedPaper[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/lair/109199]Dragon Lore by Sylvidoptera[/url][/size][/right]
