Dragoon, not a Dragon. :) A Dragoon is ........... :idea: a dragon warrior type thing, I guess you could say....hard to explain :scratch:
I thought a dragoon was french calvary with guns:scratch: They were fire-breathers(guns) so they were dragons, but the french couldn't spell correctly.

dragoon n : a member of a European military unit formerly composed of heavily armed cavalrymen v 1: compel by threatening [syn: railroad] 2: subjugate by imposing troops

To harass or reduce to subjection by dragoons; to persecute by abandoning a place to the rage of soldiers. 2. To compel submission by violent measures; to harass; to persecute. The colonies may be influenced to anything, but they can be dragooned to nothing. --Price. Lewis the Fourteenth is justly censured for trying to dragoon his subjects to heaven. --Macaulay.Dragoon \Dra*goon"\ (dr[.a]*g[=oo]n"), n. [F. dragon dragon, dragoon, fr. L. draco dragon, also, a cohort's standard (with a dragon on it). The name was given from the sense standard. See Dragon.] 1. ((Mil.)

I guess that could be the literal meaning, but it isnt that at all. I'll find a site that may help to explain it and let you know.


But in other matters, what Spirit do the rest of you want to use? I'll post the basic storyline {one for the story in here and the other is the basic story for the game, since Legolas asked} sometime soon. I apologize for not doing it yet, but I havent had a lot of time. :sorry:

Actually, I think I like the light oriented one. And, I would like a summary of the story. I'm kind of stumbling around in the dark, here. lol. And, also, a picture would be great! :) I'm excited about this!

oopsy :( :| . That's the one Im using, the light one. I'll be posting the original story/game summary tomorrow. And Im not gonna worry with all the numbers I posted before. I'll just erase them, not much use in these and it would be a bit complicated to work them in. I'll post pictures either tonight or tomorrow.

it's ok, Beau. you can be the Blue Sea Dragoon....here's a little info on the game...it's directly quoted from this site

http://guidesarchive.ign.com/guides/13238/


Welcome to the world of Dragoon, the world of the 108 species. 11,000 years have passed since the lower species (106 and below) were freed from the tyrannical rule of the 107th species, the Winglies. The world slowly built itself back from the ashes of the battlefield as civilazations flourished once more. In this world a young man and his friends must go through a long journey in order to save it, as well as finding the answers to that which plague their hearts
