You say, "Topic 1: Religion of the Draconian Knights"
You say, "The Draconian Knights are much like the Greeks/Romans and their cities. Each city has a patron God that is their main god of worship. Their temples are built to that God/Goddess. For Draconen Prime/Draconian Knights, that God is Apollo. This is the God that created Sol, and is the God that they are on "good terms" with (in some sense of the words.)"
You say, "Other Gods/Goddesses are noticed, feared, and can be worshipped to a much lesser extent than Apollo. This is more like fear-worship. They don't want to piss them off. Remember: The others Gods didn't want Solesque to even be alive and that's how the other Draconian Knights were even created. The other Gods and the Draconian Knights have gone to battle, they have seen what they can do and they are scared of them. The rest of the Gods do not believe that the Draconian Knight population should exist. "
You say, "Remeber, as an example, Artemis- Twin to Apollo- created Tem to kill off Sol. In the grand scheme of things, Artemis is also for the Draconian Knights, just like Apollo... even though if doesn't appear as so. This is a plot development that will be occuring, along with a few other ones! So look out! "
You say, "Topic 2: Generations"
You say, "For the sake of knowing what generation your character belongs to, Sol and I sat down and starting putting the numbers together. "
You say, "Sol and Adaxial/Tem are the Origins. "
You say, "Originals are Generation 1 (2030-2080 years) Most of these have been exiled/killed when Max took over during the first grand war. "
You say, "Generation 2 are the age ranges between Layla and Visage (1149-1774~)"
You say, "Generation 3 is 695-1100"
You say, "Generation 4 is 400-694"
You say, "Generation 5 is under 400."
You say, "There are less as a whole of generation 2 and 3 due to the fact that Solesque and Tem were not alive. Generation 2/3 started to populate more after the arrival of Sol/Tem again. Thus there is a higher number of younger generations. "
You say, "Currently, the children of the Draconian Knights are being supported by the other Kingdoms in Maegliin Seregon. Just random fact in case you want your character to have younger siblings."
You say, "Topic 3: Current storylines"
You say, "Important> Sol and I may suggest privately some tweaks to your characters to better fit them in the lore/backstories so current stories make more sense. Cooperation will be appreciated during this. We know we have talked to some of you, and we thank you for your willingness! We have noticed some errors in our own characters and have corrected this, so please do not take offense!"
You say, "Relationships with outsiders/others:"
You say, "Outsiders are not meant to be cuddle buddies. Draconian Knights just would not trust outsiders enough to do this. Affection from outsiders would be frowned upon. The Draconian Knights show respect, if at all to make themselves look better. If an outside is of use or very abnormally pretty, the Draconian Knights will be more inclined to be nice to them."
You say, "Remember! The Draconian Knights just got out of a 100 year long war. They are used to their own and are a bit on edge still. We are by no means saying not to roleplay with others- just keep this in mind while in a roleplay. This conditioning will probably change over time. More so if they are in TGT for a long period ICly, but to start off with they are just a certain way. "
You say, "Renting out slaves....."
You say, "Solesque as a character does not like slavery, she won't be pleased if you're renting out a slave all willy nilly. But! If that slave may prove to be useful, it is fine. For example a gladiator. Any slaves that eventually get owned by any Draconian Knight will be freed or given rights as a free person if they refuse to be without a collar for whatever reason."
You say, "No questions so far?"
Balanar: I have one
You say, "Yes, Balanar?"
Balanar: So in what caase would we need a gladiator. Just curious.
Balanar: Not to hold anything up. Just a dumb question out of curiosity. You can continue if you wish.
You say, "A gladiator would be a prime person to bring into the rp for the sake that most of the Draconian Knights are fighters, and if there were IC plots that lead to a battle, we would want to have more power on our side. Gladiator was just an example but high end healers, creatures of extreme beauty, and some other things that are useful are all "ok". We know at the start the Draconian Knights will be a little stiffer to roleplay so we don't want to limit all interactions."
You say, "(Draconian Knights are suckers for pretty things)"
You say, "I hope that answered your question, my apologies if it didn't.
"
Balanar: Yeah that's perfect.
You say, "Relationships with each other (Mainly the titles)"
You say, "The Draconian Knights are like a family, and while of course all families have titles, they are mostly beyond this unless they are pulling rank or something of the sort. Unless in a formal event or formal IC meeting, there is no reason to call Sol 'Queen', Tem 'Prince/General', Layla/Obe 'Captian', and Aris/Bal/Vis 'Lieutenant'."
You say, "Making fond nicknames (For example, Aris calling Layla 'Cap') is alright, but generally their titles are not used within the clan. Outsiders can have them introduced as 'Title NAME', since they think lowly of outsiders and will want them to know their place, but mostly it's all good in the neighborhood between us. "
You say, "Tem is the asshole IC that will demand you call him General. That's all IC though. Damn you Tem."
Adaxial:
You say, ">.< Feel free to do that in the most sarcastic way you guys can muster. Fucker is only 695 currently. Cry me a river. "
You say, "Moving right along"
Adaxial mumbles.
You say, "Relationships/Love"
You say, "Outsiders when dealing with 'falling in love' with one, would have to be observed by the whole clan. They have to be brought in. This can take a very long time ICly. "
You say, "This doesn't mean a one night stand with something pretty; but your character is head over heels with another character that is an outsider. "
You say, "For the Queens Guard.... The Queens Guard relationships are high profile and high risk. They need to be approved by Sol ICly. Regardless of who it's with. Fellow guard, noble, outsider. In a sense, being a Queens Guard we are Sol's precious ones, her selected to be by her side at anytime she needs to. She would not be happy to find out something of 'hers' will be removed without her knowing and her approval. "
You say, "Yes, Balanar?"
Balanar: So, that means it is possible to have a relationship with an outsider? I guess I'm a bit confused since we would basically be only cordial with them unless they were useful or very pretty. I'm sorry for all the questions.
You say, "The questions are wonderful!"
You say, "Yes, it is possible! It would be a long process but it would be a nice plot for both of you. As stated; we don't want to limit your roleplays. We know we are demanding them to be a bit cold, but overtime we know that will change. They will become accustomed to the outsiders and be more cordial to them. Relationships of course happen between just friends often, they could constantly be bumping into this person and romantic feelings could occur. "
You say, "Although they simply cannot ACT on these feelings, they must bring the outsider to the clan after explaining why they are doing so. They may have to explain themselves a lot ICly, and they may get strange looks. "
You say, "But way back in the day, Layla brought in a simple vampire to the clan. Having fallen in love with him and eventually he was turned. Turned out to be a huge mistake and he was a womanizer/cheater/jerkface and Layla had to kill him. (This was when Layla was played by someone else and there's more to the story, that's the nutshell version)"
You say, "Does that make sense? "
Balanar: Thanks. That clears things up.
You say, "Awesome!"
You say, "Alright, Topic 4"
You say, "Armor/Dragon"
You say, "So, this is pretty cool information that we wanted to share with you. Technically all the Draconian Knights have the ability to turn into a dragon. This only happens during points of such extreme rage that they cannot handle their forms anymore. And is super rare."
You say, "It is also a domino effect."
You say, "For example, if Sol was to turn into a dragon and totally rage out, eventually each and everyone of the Draconian Knights would turn into one."
You say, "Another cool piece of information: Their armor is actually part of their body. "
You say, "It is quite literally the appearance of their more draconic side, actual plates of dragonscale. It cannot be removed, or harvested. When being applied, it will appear like a molten gold (or silver depending on rank) sliding into place and hardening. Impenatratable once on. In the event of death, it will quite literally evaporate into nothing."
You say, "Lastly, topic 5: OOC"
You say, "We were founded just over a month ago officially. We are having typical bumps in the road and we, as Founders, understand that the lore is very heavy and a bit restrictive for now. However at the same time it is laid out in a more simplistic manner than most. Outsiders do not need to know everything there is about the Draconian Knights, so don't worry about bringing information into the rps-- but we request that you know it. And if you have questions please come to us."
You say, "This next one sounds a little mean, but in regards to the lore and what not...."
You say, "We don't want to hear "I only do it because ____________________". We don't care. We want the characters to make sense in the lore that has been created. "
You say, "We noticed that we do this, a lot personally, and have started picking up others doing it as well. We all have the habit of personifying our characters in the OOC chat. We need to try and limit this, even though it's seriously fun and funny. It's causing issues with continuity and mixing IC/OOC stuff leaving some of us just confused. "
You say, "Lastly, no pornographic gifs on websites. Keep it classy. Suggestive is fine, but we would like all straight up porn to be kept under a link via text so the person would have to click it and be redirected. "
You say, "This is a request we are strongly making, we are all adults but we may be moving to a T16+ area eventually (or opening up the option) and we just want things safe all around."
You say, "This concludes the meeting, does anyone have any questions?"
You say, "(PS: We know we cannot stop you from what you post oocly on a guestbook, we just would like you to be aware that we may be moving to a T+ area/having that option and therefore having the proper labels on your rpr or just avoiding posting them to be kept in mind. I know I may have worded that wrong since when typing out everything for the meeting with Sol I was in a rush since we were talking kind of fast. We by no means wish to police what you do OOC.)"
You say, "The Draconian Knights are much like the Greeks/Romans and their cities. Each city has a patron God that is their main god of worship. Their temples are built to that God/Goddess. For Draconen Prime/Draconian Knights, that God is Apollo. This is the God that created Sol, and is the God that they are on "good terms" with (in some sense of the words.)"

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS UP!
I'll be touching in with one of y'all when I get the chance and ask a couple questions based on the information, but I really appreciate seeing what I missed.
I'm really sorry for missing the meeting, I had an incident with a very sick kitten and why I couldn't make it. Please do forgive me
