Land of Dragongeim and their Dragonriders

My OC land and more for Black clover

DragongeimDragongeim is a cold, rugged land far to the north of the clover kingdom, where blizzards rage for months and the sun barely graces the skies during the winter months. The land is dotted with towering mountains, vast tundras, and deep forests filled with mythical creatures. The people are tough and resilient, having learned to survive in the harshest of conditions. They are a proud race, some are descendants of dragon-riders and warriors who share a bloodline with these mighty creatures. Dragongeim has a rich history of dragon bonding, but the people’s most revered tradition is the preservation of their ancient bloodline—the Dragonblood, which is thought to give them the strength, courage, and power to survive in the unforgiving world. In Dragongeim people are born withou magic, but have a lot of naturale mana. 

The dragon riders: 

Nyxara Rhys(Leader - Pride)

Appearance: Nyxara stands out with her messy blond hair (she got that from her father Julius, our dear wizard king), in a thick braid, and dark gray eyes. Her Viking-like appearance is marked by a robust, athletic build. She often dons practical, battle-ready attire suited for both dragon riding and combat. She’s rarely without a mischievous grin. She wields a self crafted bow and thin arrows, her preferred weapon. The bow allows her to channel her time magic through it, making her strikes both precise and deadly.

Personality: Nyxara is known for her loud and brash demeanor, qualities stemming from her upbringing in a competitive and wild environment. She is highly intelligent and often challenges authority, particularly in relation to her strained relationship with King Alaric. Despite her tough exterior, Nyxara is fiercely loyal and protective of those she cares about.. Her pride comes from her desire to see her team succeed, and she takes their victories personally.

Dragon: Thalorian is a magnificent dragon with shimmering iridescent scales that reflect deep blue and silver hues. His powerful, broad wings make him swift and agile in flight, while his connection with Nyxara enhances both their abilities. When combined with Nyxara’s time magic, the two become an unstoppable force, striking with both precision and elemental fury. Together, they create chaos in the skies, embodying the wrath of a storm and the flow of time.

Roderick (Second-in-command - Greed)

Appearance: Roderick has platinum blond long hair tight half way up. He has a sharp, piercing eye and a lean, athletic build. He wears an eye patch on his right eye. He lost it when he tried to claim a dragon. Despite his serious appearance, he always has a cheery, naughty expression, showing his softer side for those around him.

Personality: Roderick’s greed isn’t for wealth or power—it's for his comrades’ success. He’s constantly pushing the others to be the best version of themselves. A perfectionist at heart, he wants everything and everyone around him to reach their maximum potential. He’s supportive and often acts like an older brother to the group, always nudging them to try harder. His “greed” is for a stronger, united team.

Dragon: Gullinbursti – This golden dragon may look flashy, but its true wealth is in its unwavering loyalty and strength. Roderick and Gullinbursti are a team that always focuses on pushing limits, always wanting more from each other and from the world around them.

Bjorn (Wrath) -The Giant with a Heart of Gold

Appearance: A giant man with a wide, infectious smile, Bjorn’s bright blue eyes twinkle with warmth and mischief. His large frame might be intimidating, but he’s more like a friendly bear who enjoys making others laugh.

Personality: Despite embodying Wrath, Bjorn is one of the most cheerful and laid-back of the group. He loves telling stories, laughing heartily, and making sure everyone around him is happy. His anger only surfaces when his friends or loved ones are in danger. When that happens, the shift from jovial Bjorn to an unstoppable force is shocking to everyone around him.

Dragon: Surtur – A fiery red dragon with a playful streak, Surtur loves to engage in fiery games of strength. However, when the stakes are high, Surtur’s flame and fury match Bjorn’s fierce loyalty to his friends.

Eamon (Sloth) The Lazy Genius

Appearance: A slender man with shaggy brown hair and a perpetually relaxed demeanor. Eamon always looks like he’s about to take a nap, but his eyes sparkle with quiet intelligence.

Personality: Eamon may seem lazy on the surface, but his "sloth" is actually a form of calculated efficiency. He conserves his energy, waiting for the exact right moment to act. Often found lying in a sunny spot, he’ll surprise everyone when he effortlessly solves problems or fights with incredible precision, as though he’s been planning every move while appearing not to care. He’s strategic in a way that keeps everyone guessing.

Dragon: Nidhogg – A slow-moving, massive dragon that mirrors Eamon’s demeanor. But when called upon, Nidhogg shows incredible power and precision, moving in perfect synchronicity with Eamon’s quiet genius.

Cian (Lust) - The Adventurer

Appearance: Charming and roguishly handsome, Cian has tousled brown hair and piercing blue eyes that always seem to be searching for excitement. He dresses casually but confidently, with a constant playful smirk on his face.

Personality: Cian’s “lust” manifests as a love for adventure, fun, and spontaneity rather than romantic pursuits. He’s the life of the party, always encouraging the group to try new things and live life to the fullest. His passion for experiencing new things can get him into trouble, but it also brings a contagious energy to the team. Cian is all about living in the moment and finding joy in every situation.

Dragon: Fjalar – Sleek and graceful, Fjalar is just as restless and curious as Cian, always ready to dart into action or explore the skies for new adventures.

Thorstein (Gluttony) - The Joyful Giant

Appearance: A giant of a man with a hearty laugh and a broad grin, Thorstein’s size is more due to his towering height than weight. He has a jovial face with a thick beard, and he’s always the first to suggest a feast or celebration.

Personality: Thorstein’s "gluttony" is for life itself. He’s not just obsessed with food and drink (though he loves both), but with enjoying every single aspect of living. He’s the one who encourages the group to relax, celebrate victories, and enjoy downtime together. His energy is infectious, and while he may indulge a bit too much at times, he keeps the team's morale high with his constant joy and larger-than-life personality.

Dragon: Jormungandr – A massive, slow-moving dragon with an insatiable appetite, but like Thorstein, Jormungandr is all about living large. Together, they’re a force of nature, bringing joy and chaos in equal measure wherever they go.

Lachlan (Envy) - The Quiet Learner

Appearance: Lachlan is lean, with dark hair and calculating eyes, but he often has a wistful smile on his face. He tends to stay in the background, always watching and learning from others.

Personality: Rather than being consumed by destructive envy, Lachlan’s envy takes the form of admiration. He constantly strives to better himself by studying and imitating the skills of those around him. While he can sometimes feel insecure about his own abilities, he turns that envy into motivation to grow stronger. He is deeply loyal to the team, often downplaying his own role to push others into the spotlight.

Dragon: Fafnir – A stealthy, dark blue dragon that, like Lachlan, is always observing and learning. Fafnir is cunning and strategic, embodying Lachlan’s quiet desire to improve and outwit any challenge.

Team Dynamic:Nyxara leads with pride in her team’s strength, Roderick greedily pushes for their collective greatness, and each rider brings their own unique energy to the group, creating a tight-knit family of dragon riders who can laugh and joke in one moment and rain fire down on their enemies in the next. Their loud, brash dragonblood heritage shines through, but it’s tempered by an unexpected depth in their quirks and motivations.

Rion Thorne - The Bard of the Dragon Riders

Rion Thorne, the flirtatious and charismatic bard of the Dragon Riders, is a master of balancing chaos with his music and charm. Saved by Nyxara, he was adopted into the group as their bard. Though his role is to soothe and uplift, Rion’s playful demeanor masks deeper emotions, particularly when it comes to Cian, the rider of Lust. The bond between them is intense but unspoken, filled with tension and quiet understanding. They ride side by side, and while Rion flirts with everyone else, there’s something more between him and Cian, though neither speaks of it.

As a bard, Rion uses his music to calm the riders, offering comfort during dark times. His songs are his gift and his curse—full of passion, but hiding a deeper melancholy. Rion is more than just a flirt; he’s the emotional anchor of the Dragon Riders, reminding them that even amidst war, there’s room for balance, joy, and reflection.

Royal Bloodline and the Throne Dragongeim’s monarchy is unlike any other. To sit upon the throne, one must possess the legendary blood of dragons. This powerful legacy comes from an ancient pact between the first Dragon rider and a mighty dragon, who bound their fates together. Only those with dragonblood can be at the throne.

Some fun facts about the land 

Bond Beyond Mana: Dragon riders aren't just bonded to their dragons through mana; they also share a unique emotional connection. When one rider is injured, their dragon feels it, and vice versa. This bond is so strong that some riders have even learned to communicate with their dragons through emotions alone, bypassing words.

Draconic Tattoos: Riders who successfully bond with a dragon receive a special tattoo on their skin, often on their arm or back. 

Rider Training: Becoming a dragon rider isn't just about learning to ride. Riders undergo intense physical and mental training to match their dragons' strength. Only those who pass a series of grueling trials, such as enduring the “Trial of Fire” (surviving a fire-breathing test) or “The Sky’s Challenge” (a high-altitude endurance test), are considered worthy of a dragon.

Ancient Dragon Language: Riders are taught an ancient language that was once spoken by dragons. This language, known as Draken, is said to have been passed down from the first dragon-riders. It’s a secret tongue used for commands or spells that even other magic users can't decipher.

Dragon Rider Festival: Every year, the land of Dragonheim holds a grand festival called "The Dance of the Sky" where they showcase their bond with their dragons through aerial stunts, races, and synchronized flying. It’s a spectacle of skill and bravery, where riders and dragons perform together as one unit.

Riders’ Code: Dragon riders follow a strict code of honor. Among the rules is the vow to never use their dragons as weapons of war against innocent villages. Riders are expected to act as protectors, not conquerors, and are taught to respect the land and creatures around them.

Politics of the land - Dragongeim Royal Council:

King Alaric: The King ultimately presides over the council, but the members hold significant sway over their respective domains. While Alaric rules with absolute power, the influence of his advisors shapes the direction of the kingdom. His ability to manage the ambitions and agendas of each council member is a key part of his rule.

I like the idea of link just being in a building (tomb) and just being bathed in light

I know you mean it to be spiritual light but I can't help but imagine it being normal sunlight just magnified on him like when you try to use a magnifying lens to light something on fire. Link is just either too stubborn or using his timemagic to not be set on fire but when Zelda goes to wake him up she is either wearing the twice upgraded flamebraker set or just just on fire

among having a secret stone and being a sage, the natural powers given to him for being Hylia's Hero, and whatever other bs that can explain how weird he is, one of the best powers he has is 'not get sunburned from sitting in direct sunlight for 10k+ years' at least.

The Rage Knights Story! Ageism and its finest Boy ©Khaliq Trevor X (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/m5amzuhkd7 A very short story involving the Rage Knights Red God protagonist, Damon Bradley running against the progression of time as he battles an unknown entity that looms from somewhere in the future. There is a reason why things advance, humans must all age but when that is considered a taboo and a subject of exclusion, bullying and harassment in a social media-based and superficial society. Will he manage to win or be crumbled by this villain's swift brush of perception, known as time?

One of my precious Rage Knights: Red God stories! So naturally, I must post it to the Tumblr right?

========= "Grounding"/ centering practice suggestions are usually biased, —a.k.a. "Pop" spirituality is usually BULLSHIT. ––––– They're biased toward the experience of sensory‐dominant people. This leaves ethical, logical and intuitive-/ pattern‐seeking–dominant minds with little to go on in regards to figuring out how to focus and calm their bodies, etc.. For instance, I have friends who feel more centered in water & near aquatic habitats. That's still SENSORY, but it's not literal "ground", so the bias runs even deeper. Myself, I go into stupor & all of my emotions blunt when I try the usual recommended grounding practices. Personally, I feel more grounded while running or with the wind in my face, and mentally what "grounds" me is contemplating complex ethical questions. , , . , . , , , #timewitch #timemage #timemagic #temporalmagic , https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce94c3vOTzK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anyway, once Garou finally awakened to Himself, he kept the pointy dark elf cosmic timemage ears and all...but he lost his previously sharp monster fangs. ;o; (aww dang! I liked those)

That....as @pinapultra wondered too, it’s unknown if he’ll keep his defining ‘wolf hair’ spikes or lose them for his short hair cut (like in the wc) or not, since they’re such an iconic part of his design down to his very subatomic particles. :P (The horns/spikes broke off in the wc’s Saitama fight, but manga Garou still has them.) That while I totally want to see Murata’s take on short hair Garou, it’s unknown if Murata himself can even bear to cut them off! hah

“Oh its just the man meat I was about to feed to my pets. You are early you know, but don’t worry. They could use an easy snack right about now…”
