The dare thread!

Spice up your day a little bit: take a dare!
There are three different tiers of dare; easy, medium and hard. It is free to take on a dare, however, there are charges for submitting dares, and penalties for failing to complete a dare.
There is a maximum time limit on how long you have to complete a dare- although, this is a maximum. Certain dares may have tailored time limits, so watch out! I will post up accepted dares when you are online so you get the maximum time available- it is yours to do with as you wish!

If you wish to submit a dare, please send your dare submission to Rogue via PM. The submission charge will be taken when your dare is chosen. The following example dares will not be used (unless someone decides to submit them as dares!) You will not be given a dare to complete that you have submitted.
Note: When taking on a dare, please be careful if you intend to complete your dare within a plot thread! Try not to disrupt the flow of posting or make others OOC their characters to try and get around an awkwardly placed dare. You may be asked to re-write your post if it intrudes too much and you will fail your challenge.

*Some dares will require photo/video evidence of completion!*

Subject: Re: The DARE thread! Wed Aug 28, 2013 11:56 pm

Here is my very best sagely advice, specially for DC:

If one asked the forum to think of the most innocent and loveable character they could, I would imagine Syruvis the night dragon would be among their answers. Terribly cute and friends with anything which will let him, at first glance there is little which can be found to criticise in this infant.

Or is there?

Upon further inspection, it has come to my attention that the seemingly unfaultable little dragon is in fact most likely some kind of demon in disguise. Zartear and Lyvas will seem like cuddly little kittens once you realise the true nature of Syruvis. Don’t just take my word for it, though; read on and discover the proof behind this accusation before you dismiss it as rash.

First and foremost is the twisted and unnatural magic which is sadly an inherent part of all dragons of his breed. Dark magic can be used for ungodly purposes such as resurrecting those better left dead, and given the unhealthy environment Syruvis has been brought up in there is little doubt that he will go on to become a necromancer under the influence of his guardian Rintho. Dragons Cove simply does not need another one of these menaces running amok, especially not with the current war raging. There’s quite enough death around already, thank you.

Another issue is that Syruvis’ relationship with the aforementioned Rintho promotes all kinds of unhealthy family values. There is nothing good or pure about a single parent with an essentially kidnapped child who is not even of the same species as him. The people of Dragon’s Cove do not need this twisted idea of a family unit promoted by adoration for either Syruvis or Rintho, and it is vital that it is stopped before it causes serious and permanent damage to the populace’s ideas of a model family.

He does not stop here when disrupting families, however; with his nocturnal antics and youthful cries of exuberance, Syruvis is guilty of disturbing the sleep of hundreds of innocent Jilurians. Yet this crime goes deeper than it might at first appear. As he tears around the sky with no regard whatsoever for any others, he produces an unrelenting glow which causes all kinds of unexpected issues. Many is the peasant to panic upon seeing a light whisking its way through the heavens, convinced that some kind of missile is on its way to destroy their homes. Others believe that he is some form of spirit come to bless them or a divine omen of things to come. Yet another problem caused by his nightly exploits is that of leading navigators astray. On Dragons Cove the commoners struggle by without the aid of SatNavs and so many turn to the stars for aid in discerning their paths. When there is one far bigger and brighter for the others which change unpredictably from night to night, it seems that these travellers are doomed to wander in circles for hours while they struggle to discern which stars are their constant guides and which are feckless night dragons running amok through the air.

These factors, however, are things which could be seen as not being Syruvis’ fault. Perhaps you have begun to think that I am being harsh; that he cannot help being the living incarnation of evil and that as he is so adorable we should give him a second chance. Well, that is where you would be wrong, and it brings me onto my next point: his ruthless manipulation of all around him. He began by securing the affection of Rintho, a man who would undoubtedly have used him for some unfortunate experiment before long if it had not been for Syruvis’ own intervention. Utilising his attractive physical features and extreme use as his tools of destruction, this dragon bends others to his will whenever he desires. You cannot trust anybody on Dragon’s Cove as long as he roams free. Friends, foes, High Councillors, Guardians… none are immune to his unforeseen trickery. Do not even rely too heavily upon yourself. He may take you by surprise and once you have gazed into his wide and entreating eyes there is no hope for you. You will have no other option than to join his army of mindless slaves.
Given the extreme number of recruits he has already amassed to his evil cause and his love of conflict, it is mildly surprising that Syruvis has not yet made his move. If his liking for conflict seems in doubt, rest assured that it has already been proved to us on at least two occasions where he has sparred with his peers; an epic rap battle with Kvinna and a common brawl with Ithelle. This may appear excusable until you realise that these are the only two dragons of a similar age to himself he has ever encountered and he has engaged in conflict with both of them, making it obvious that the only reason he does not attack everyone and everything he sees right now is that they are not at the same level as he is, generally being older and rarely dragons.

The prolonged delay of his first pronounced moves against the world suggests that he is holding out and gathering resources in preparation for an attack on a much larger scale. Now, given his youth this may sound improbable to you, but if you consider other matters such as his proficiency in rapping (see above) you will begin to see that it is rather likely Syruvis is not a baby dragon at all but actually some kind of medieval robot or malevolent spirit in disguise in order to better achieve its selfish goals. With this in mind, we can begin to imagine the horrors that such a beast might inflict upon Dragons Cove if left unrestrained, and the urgent need to do something about this abomination becomes apparent.

Don’t allow him to do any more damage than he has done already. Take heed of this warning and beware!

Can't do an IRL one sadly

Subject: Re: The DARE thread! Wed Sep 04, 2013 11:05 pm

Hopefully, I have met the criteria of this dare... none of my characters really need a revamp, persay.

Sill's profile got a new song, a history update, and some minor tweaks here and there.
https://dragonscove.darkbb.com/t865-sill-vitas-the-runner#15551

Vann's profile had a fairly decent amount of history re-writing to do, and I deleted one of the posts nestled within his profile that became invalid due to said tweaking. Also, his religion got tweaked to fit better into DC. It feels more natural to me now, but you can be the judge of that.
