Description ASHBRIAR!!!!!
++++++
Time for a fantasy adventure!!
It's the time to showcase their combat abilities! (9 *3*)9
Ohoho look it's a BOSS BATTLE!! *boss battle soundtrack plays*

Backstory:
During dinner at the ball event, the three friends shared stories of their adventures. It was then that Xiu Mei shared the story of how she lost her left leg on a hunt after a legendary dragon. Upon hearing this, Kamiyu offered that she would help Xiu Mei in hunting the dragon because she doesn't want Xiu Mei to think that her hunt was a complete failure. At first, Xiu Mei was hesitant to let her come because it is surely dangerous. Kamiyu persisted so Xiu Mei gave in. Of course, Gregory wouldn't allow a girl and a lady to hunt after a legendary dragon so he offered his help as well.
To raise their chances of winning, Gregory suggested that they should hunt the dragon the day after the ball event. His reason is that Kamiyu is brimming with magical energy because of too much eating (see Cibus Transformatio ability). The other two agreed, thus they set out for their journey the next day...

DRAGON INFO:
Name: Legendary Crowned Crimson Dragon
Location: Rumored to be found in the mountains that borders Adysia and Ashbriar.
Weakness:
- Has a weak spot in its mouth
-The blue jewel in the middle of its forehead causes it to greatly weaken as well.
-Lots and lots of water
Extra:
-This legendary dragon is specially hunted for its deep red leather skin that can be used for special robes.
-However, the red bony plates that serve as its armor can't be turned into robes. It can be fashioned into weapons instead.
- Its horns can be sold to horn collectors at a high price because of it's rarity.
- The blue jewel in its forehead is rumored to contain concentrated magical power. How to unlock the power in it is currently unknown.
-Meet the dragon's true form =>[link]

STRATEGY
Before they set out for their journey, Kamiyu bought stamina and speed increasing potions from Clyver. She gave them to Muu and Gregory whose effectiveness relies on their agility.

Gregory will act as the bait for the dragon because of his agility. His weapons is mainly for annoying the dragon because his physical attack is not enough to weaken the monster.
Note: The cross of binding (black one) is actually the cross found on the lower left hip of his garment. The light cross is actually one of his earrings, which can turn into a rapier.

Xiu Mei will be the primary offense since she is the only one who can get near to the dragon with the help of Muu. She will be constantly spamming the dragon with dynamites and knives. Her main target would be the dragon's mouth.

Kamiyu will be the long range attacker and defense. With Cibus Transformatio, she will both attack the dragon from afar and defend the party. She will be summoning magical spears to attack and enchanting barriers to protect Xiu Mei or Greg from the dragon's attack.
Note: Dual-casting depletes her energy faster than normal. However, she bought magic-boosting potions from Clyver so her magical energy will last longer than usual.



I'm sorry! It's a wall of text again //WEEP
But it's necessary to tell the story behind this picture =7=b

HNGGGG THE DRAGON WAS THE MOST MENTALLY CHALLENGING PART
DO I SEE BAHAMUT?
I never drew dragons like this before...and probably..never again. OTL
SAI brushes were hard to control but I think it brought out the textures in the BG and dragon.

H-HOLY--- WHATISTHISI....... *eyes melt out of their sockets*

...right, *ahem* time to pour on the compliments thick XD

Ahem, okay, first of all, the perspective of the artwork looks insanely difficult(for me, at least ^^), but it gives the drawing an INCREDIBLY masterful touch. The placing was pretty well-thought out, too, with the dragon being an awe-inspiring certerpiece and eye catcher. Most brilliant of all is the shading. THE SHADING OAO There are around three different light sources here, and I'm blown AWAY by the fact that you managed to shade it so perfectly *u* The detail is so perfectly done, even the tiny ones that are almost unnoticeable for a drawing this size, like the daggers in xiu mei's hand, or the dynamite in her bag~ The scales on the dragon are also extremely well made, plus the wings make it look all the more intimidating~ ouob The background is just amazing~ I fail at drawing backgrounds, you I'm completely blown away at everything about it; the rock structure, the clouds, the embers, it all gives the most amazing feel to it~

Amazing......*faints of beauty overload*

I'll draw the two of them too of course, wait and see! XD

It's so funny to look at them together , the stiff and cold red-headed Shinra with the 'happy-go-lucky' and hyperactive blue-headed Kamiyu....... red and blue

HURR OKAY ABYSS-BROO XDDD
Ahh, I'd be drawing Kamiyu in information broker form when with Shinra because she'll have to keep that disguise or else the guards will suspect that the "mage Kamiyu" is giving away information too XD

Oh yes I totally agree! They're like fiery red and icy blue! Polar opposites but look well together! They'd be very interesting to draw XDDDD

abyss-crimson In reply to retrozero [2011-05-30 10:11:52 +0000 UTC]

lol

so the relationship between Shinra and Kamiyu's done, should I make relationship with Gregory and Xiu Mei too?
Do you have an idea? Gregory doesn't know about Kamiyu's sideline job right?
But does Xiu Mei know?

owgh, I'm burning with excitement and waiting for further RP

retrozero In reply to abyss-crimson [2011-05-30 14:53:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that's up to you if you wish to make OC relationships with them *v*

Hurr NOBODY has ever known that the information broker and Kamiyu are a single person EXCEPT for Shinra alone XD She's the first ever!

Just a note, Xiu Mei's owner doesn't RP through comments or chat =v= She only RP through art. But feel free to negotiate your OC relationship through note XD
Xiu Mei is a shopkeeper of different accessories and rare items so if Shinra wants some items you can get buy from her!

abyss-crimson In reply to retrozero [2011-05-30 15:27:50 +0000 UTC]

WOW! I feel so honored! thanks bro!
I think I'll try to make OC relationships with them^^

How about:
Shinra and Gregory's relationship:

When Shinra's on guild missions, she sometimes cross ways with Kamiyu and Gregory (big cases & mysteries lure Shinra and Kamiyu ). Gregory often feels curious when looking at Kamiyu and Shinra talking (about informations), because Kamiyu looks more serious than usual. Because of this, he tried many times to slip into the chat. But everytime he tried to do this, Shinra and Kamiyu always changed the subject of their talk so Gregory wouldn't know about their secrets.

Because of this repeated scenes, they eventually grow more closer with each other, talking about many things (because they always change the subject when Greg comes ).
Shinra feels even though Greg always goes "blinky-blinky" , he's a good-natured person at heart.

So, at one time, Shinra offers Greg if their mission of "purging evil from the world" seems quite out of their hands, they could always request help from Draconis, especially Shinra and her squad.


So... what do you think?
(as for Xiu Mei, I'm still thinking about that^^)

Oh btw, I've showed this suggestion of Greg and Shinra's relationship to =shiroisuisei .
Gochibro agreed and approves of this relationship XD
I also approve of this of course XD

Well, if Shinra needs accessories or rare items, she can always go to Xiu Mei's shop *v*b
