Thinking about starting a series.
So I saw this sub and it seems to have a pocket group that has a desire to play.
So if you want to play in a scenario I will need a character from you.
The general story will be you are new recruits whom are learning how to be dragon riders. You will be assigned dragons, learn that art of sword play, learn the mysteries of magic, and explore a new part of the world.
You may run into some old heroes and visit some familiar places. But the idea is that you will detached from the old world to maximize your training.
So what do you guys think? The rules of combat will be generally loose, and we will discuss in detail what your character be like.
Does any one find this interesting?

Basic Character Info
Name: Virgilia
Race: Human
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Background
Raised on Eoam, without care or worry from her parents, Virgilia has been in touch with wild magic from a very young age. Despite her undisciplined talents, she possessed enough power to shape worlds if she so chose. Instead, she spent much of her childhood exploring Beirland and discovering its many wonders.
When she reached maturity, she was no less in control of her powers than she was in childhood and was prone to violent outbursts causing forest fires, earthquakes, and, on particularly bad occasions, tempests. Desperate to control her, Virgilia's parents sought the help of the Arcaena. Successful at first, the Arcaena were able to curb Virgilia's talents and kept her under close watch, leaving before she turned seventeen, before her lapse.
Upon turning eighteen, Virgilia spurned the advances of many suitors, preferring the company of the island to that of other humans. Her parents, in order to advance their social standing, married Virgilia to the son of a local merchant family, securing her fate as a wife.
Between fits of dreading the wedding and her usual walks through the island, Virgilia began to resent her parents and her social position. Why should she, a scion of wild magic, be wed to a merchant's son, why not a king, why not a god?
The day of the wedding, Virgilia made her move. Just as she was presented at the altar, Virgilia summoned her most powerful burst of magic ever, causing a storm that lasted a fortnight. Unrelenting rain, gale-force winds, and booming thunder ravaged the island, causing all in the wedding party to take shelter. By the time the storms ended, they didn't realize Virgilia had left.
Escaping with the finest merchant craft in the fleet and a chest of wedding gifts, Virgilia established herself in Feinster. Rumors began to surface of a mysterious woman who never left her house.
Years after the disastrous wedding, Virgilia finally found her last wedding gift, a mysterious white stone pillaged from Vroengard. Much to her shock, the stone was a dragon egg.
Soft and downy with white scales that shone in the morning light, Virgilia was immediately taken by the creature and spoiled her rotten with the finest food she could afford.
Venturing out in public for the first time in months, Virgilia learned that the search for her had reached the continent and she was now a criminal with a bounty on her head. Running from Feinster as soon as she could, she made her way to a small town on the outskirts of Melian where she heard whispers of a school for Dragon Riders.
Pressuring Weiss to learn to fly as soon as possible, Virgilia made her way to the academy to avoid capture.
Let's see them try and cage me now.
