To announce my return to the Boards (if any of you remember me) I think it's time to start off a new RPG.
Dragon Claw, and Dragon Scale.
Always Fighting, Tooth and Nail.
From the Farthest Reaches.
Thou shall fight till Time Ceases.
When the Grand Dragon will Revive.
Heralding the End of All Time.
Dragon of Dark, Dragon of Light.
Still thou must fight.
Water and Fire, Still teetering.
Whether one wins, the other losing.
Winds from the Sky, the Earth Quakes.
Breaking the land in your wakes.
Forever, you will be sealed.
So the land can be healed.
But the bonds, Time will break.
And once again the ground shall quake... [/font
(An ancient Scripture found in a Remote Chinese Temple)
Over the centuries, tales of Dragons and their deeds have sparked imaginations over the globe. But in the present day and age of computers and mechanics, such ancient tales are forgotten or ignored.
While tales are recounted in books of lore and myth, there exists a single book, which can revive, if not create Dragons.
This book, known only as the book of the Dragon Kings has sifted through history and found it's way to the present.
The sons and daughters of the Grand Dragon, unhappy at their siblings but yet need each other for balance, had to be sealed up because of their constant feuding. Since then, their bonds have been kept in check by the book of the Dragon Kings, which holds the key to the locks.
Items also exist in connection with this book. Able to unlock certain potential within an individual. Such potential can manifest itself into a physical form, the form of a dragon.
These items take many forms, some in the ancient Pearls of Wisdom, some Dragon Kings held in their hands, others included Jewels, scales, fangs, bones, and other artifacts, used as family heirlooms or for spiritual channeling.
Ancient Magic that protected the Dragons of yore still lives. Magic so old that it comes from a Grand Dragon, the Father of all ancient and old Dragons.
A Dragon so old and so powerful, that if he was released, the world could crumble.
There is an organization, with a single ambition. Using genetic engineering and modern science, they have broken down the magic into easier forms to be used on a much more massive scale. They are obsessed with dragons, and have cloned or created dragons of their own, with no will other than to serve their creators. Their one goal, is to revive the Grand Dragon and have him cleanse the planet of all human civilization.
The book can only be ready by those that have the potential to overcome the evil in the world. To unite and purify it's people. To find out what it truly means to be Dragons.

It gives detailed and good versions of most Mythology from around the world. If you need more information on Dragon Related stuff, check this site:
Alright, for Starters Lets get the 6 Dragon Gods separated first.
Pele: The Dragon God of Fire. She resembles a Western style-Dragon.. Red segmented scales and black stripes down her body. A rectangular head with hooded eyes. Three curved horns sprouting from the back of her head. Spines grow along her spine from behind her head down to the end of her tail. She has long fore-arms and strong hind legs. Her hands have four claws, and her feet have three clawed toes. Bat-like, leathery wings sprout from her shoulders and the wing span is twice her length. Currently she is trapped inside Mount Kilauea on Hawaii. Although she seems to be temperamental and quick to anger, she has sympathy towards her children and those that still worship her.
Ryujin: The Dragon God of the Sea. He was sealed in the Dragons Court, the Ryugu. The Ryugu is the Sea Dragon Kings palace, which is rightfully where Ryujin should reside. He resembles the classic Asian Dragon, long and serpentine. With blue colored scales and a mane of light blue hair. Its ears consist of fins and it has webbing in between its claws. He has Antlers that are brown and extend from the hoods over his eyes. Having a past relationship with Pele, he is quick to forgive his sister, but has distrust towards his other siblings.
Vritra: The Dragon God of the Earth. A creature so large he can wrap around mountains and reach up to the heavens, he was perceived as a demon in some legends during a past battle with another deity. He is a behemoth, very large, and mostly slow moving. His skin is a dull brown, and he resembles a Komodo in shape. The only difference are rhombus shaped plates that go down his back and a small pair of wings that sprout from his shoulders. The tail is very long and can easily clear an area in one swipe. Currently he is sealed in Mount Everest.
Fujin: The Dragon God of the Winds. A four-winged goddess, she is long and thin, hailing Sky-blue scales that change depending on the weather. Her head is elongated with feathers jutting from behind her head, creating a crown. The four wings she has are made up of feathers instead of the normal leathery bat-like wings. She is sealed up in the arctic, where the winds never stop blowing across the ice-covered landscape.
Quetzalcoatl: The Dragon God of Light. A winged serpent, Quetzalcoatl, is the representation of life, light, and the spirit. His body consists of small arms and legs, a long, thin torso, and a crown of horns at the back of his head. The scales are a pure white and long horns don the back of his head. Currently he is sealed inside the sun
Rahu: The Dragon God of Darkness. A winged serpent as well, his wings are more ragged and jagged than Quetzalcoatls, bat-like and leathery. Her arms and legs have more jagged claws and spines protruding from her joints. The horns on her head are more jagged and thorny than Quetzs and her eyes glow an intimidating red. While Quetzacoatl is sealed in the sun, Rahu is sealed in the moon.
Now the Dragon Gods can turn into a human form at their desire, and they are basically the good guys, no matter how much they fight with each other, or have their followers and children battle.
The Parties Involved:
The Order (Bad Guys, plain and simple):
The Order is an organization obsessed with the tales of the Grand Dragon. A Dragon so large and powerful that it could destroy the world. Because they are believers of the Grand Dragon, they are considered a radical religious group who take the scriptures too far. So far in fact that they have resorted to some of the most un-ethical experiments.
Combining Humans with various Reptilian DNA, they have created some of the most dangerous creatures in existence. Hybrids with various abilities, they are barely controllable and tend to go insane. There are some serial killer cases in which some Hybrids have been responsible for in the past.
Their main objective is to retrieve the Book of the Dragon King and use its power to summon the Grand Dragon, and cleanse the earth.
Technologically advanced, they have surpassed the military as far as their weapons and combat systems are concerned. They have been able to break down Magic into its basic form and magnify or harness it much easier than by strength of will alone.
Desperate, they will do anything to attain the items that are needed for the Grand Dragons revival, even theft and murder.
The Dragon Gods (Good Guys, somewhat):
These six beings are representations of the 6 Elements of Earth. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and Darkness. They have numerous Children and followers over the globe. Sealed up in different points around the world, their seals are held by The Book of the Dragon King, which can only be read by someone with an understanding of the Dragons Tongue, or with an acute sense of Magic.
The Children of the Gods (Basic Rpers):
These are the children of the Gods, not immortal, but have a very fast recovery rate when injured. They were sealed up in items following the sealing of the Gods. Common items with the Dragon Spirit in them are: Jewelry according to the color of the Element, weapons made from a part of them, and a piece of themselves (i.e. tooth, claw, horn, skull, ect.). These have been handed down for generations with the Dragon Spirits resting contently, until recently
Humans (Destruction Fodder):
The normal people who go about their everyday lives not knowing that the world may come to an end any second.
Terminology (basic stuff):
Dragon Spirit: The spirit of a Dragon held inside of an object, this can interact with the human in possession of the object through dreams, or though a direct soul-soul communication if the item is constantly held or kept with the person. Sometimes the Dragon Spirit becomes one with the persons soul, making the Human and Dragon one.
Dragons Tongue: The Dragon language, easily dubbed Draconian. Its an ancient and old language which many modern language systems are based upon.
The Book of the Dragon King: A book which holds the key to releasing the Dragon Gods as well as information on the summoning of the Grand Dragon.
Dragon Items: Items that hold the Dragon Spirit.
Swords of the Dragon Gods: (More information as the RPG progresses.)
Transformations:
I said that the Gods can turn into a Human form, right? Well, the Humans with the Dragon Items can turn into Dragons as well. Only, there are a few catches.
1. The First transformation must either be sparked by reading an incantation, breaking the seal on the Dragon Item, or the person must be under a stressful situation.
2. During the first few transformations the soul of the person is switched with the soul of the Dragon, and will have no memory of the experiences of the dragon. After more transformations the person will begin to experience the feelings and experiences, even while the Dragons spirit is in control and in full transformation.
3. There are times when the Dragon spirit and the persons spirit will become one. There are also times when the Dragons spirit may be a polar opposite to the persons soul, or very similar.
4. There are several versions of the transformation. Each having either a human or Dragon trait exchanged.
4a. Human: Basic Human traits. No enhanced strength or the like, just your basic average human.
4b. Advanced: Enhanced abilities according to the Dragons traits, which could included strength, endurance, speed, sight, scent, ect. There is also a limited Magic usage associated here.
4c. Angelic: Advanced experience in transforming will let the human have their Dragons wings to use for flying. Very essential for covering ground quickly and efficiently. Magic usage is more profound.
4d. Dragon: Full fledged Dragon with all the powers and abilities they were given at birth. Strong Magic abilities.
4e. Dragonoid: The final and strongest possible transformation variation. Dragon and Human are merged to create what looks like a Were-Dragon. Human stance, torso shape, and arm shape (with five fingers), Dragon neck, legs, tail, and claws. The head may be a little deformed due to the transformation, but will stay mostly similar to full Dragon-Mode. There is an absence of wings in this transformation. In this Mode, both Human and Dragon are fully merged as one being, their thoughts, feelings, and emotions are the same. Very difficult to achieve and maintain for extended periods of time
