Been thinking about making a RP based on different system, have a look:
StoryDragon life form was seeded by Elemental dragons totally on four worlds, last one of them beings Dragon Essence. The example was Earth, where the dragons evolved naturally. Only on the first world, called Ghaen, dragon society was never organised to clans, but focused more on families, like humans on Earth. That led to (d)evolution, causing dragons to lose their ability to control the elements, but their magic is now having great times. Dragons learned to summon various spirits of the nature, replacing original elements and allowing every single dragon to use all of them, though some are harder to summon than others and one might not like the spirit, thus never summon it again. Dragons soon discovered, that these elemental spirits are just a taste of even greater power, offered by mystic spirits. This power, however was never summoned, the spirits only came by themselves. It is believed, that the spirits were called Ancients in the past times.
SpiritsSpirits grants your dragon some abilities and spells that don’t require using dragon’s energy (the only energy required might be to summon the spirit). Using spirits might significcantly help you in fight or in difficult situation, but summoning wrong spirit might also kill you. Also, summoning a spirit takes a lot of energy – you can’t summon more than one, and if stronger spirit descends to help you, it will overdrive the first one.
Charakter creation and statsOk, now for the big news. Every character will have stats. At the creation, you can spend 15 stat points between Strength, Agility and intelligence. Strenght will add your dragon more durability and stamina, agility will allow you to execute better maneuvers and intelligence will help with magic. (like, if you spent all your points on strength, you can't have your dragon sneaking from behind or even constructing tiny things). Also, higher intelligence will be required for using stronger spirits. You can gain additional points by having your dragon self-train (slow way), or have dragon with higher skill to share his knowledge or make a course for you (Maybe some NPCs).

FightsFighting will be done like so far, but ty to limit it to fit your dragon's stats. 0 - 10 of stat points is considered low, skill, 11 - 50 as average for mature dragon and 50+ for really skilled dragons. Dragon with higher strength will have upper hand in dealing damage, but if his agility will be lower than victim's, he'll miss more often, or might be cursed by dragon with higher intelligence before he has a chance to do anything. All will depend on you using your dragon's abilities right.
History of Ghaen:The planet was seeded with life by the Elemental dragons. There is a lot of plants, but only little ammount of animals. Intelligent life forms are:
Dragons, warm blodded reptiles.
Gnolls, dog-like creatures, evolved from mammals.
Who'ahs, four legged, yellow amphibians.
Garudas.
All of them but dragons were natural inhabitants before Elemental dragons came.
When the elemental dragons were creating dragon life form here, they were learning, so they made their society as much stable as they could, and the most stable society they knew was human society from Earth. First dragon inhabitants of Ghaen had a hard life, because their bodies were not perfect, as Elemental dragons were still pretty unfamiliar with creation of life, but with Ghaen being the first world, several milennia of evolution fixed this and nowdays they are the most evolved dragons in the universe. Their society was also stabilised, intil the regression of their elements. With that, a substitute was needed for them to survive, and they were almost wiped out when finally the elemental dragons arrived to save their creations, revealing the existence of the spirits to them. With the new found powers, they managed to stay alive and rebuild their society, but only until one dragon called Pain found ancient temple with scrolls describing a way of summoning the spirit of Darkness. Pain tried to control it, but his soul was corrupted and he started his hunger for power and conquered half of Ghaen, before others could mount any resistance. This is where the story begins.

Anything to make a new char! How long can spirits be summoned for? And do they have their own personalities?
