The Divewings

The DiveWings Thread:351873 TRIBE CONTEST 2016

Description and Abilities[]

The Divewings may look like Skywings from a distance, but once you get close up, it's far from that! Unlike most dragon tribes, they have a broad snout, with indents in that almost resemble the marking on a dinosaur skull. They have a long, single horn on their forehead and snout. They also have double layered eyes, (See Breeding Law) that have a primary color at the base, and a secondary color next to it. Diving bodies are primary, and secondary colors (See Breeding Law) They have massive wings, but at not as fast as Skywings but have much better flight endurance, and fly up to 2 days at a time, but will need to rest for some time before flying again. They have Deformed back legs (See History, The Cursing) They have sharp overlapping scales that can draw blood, but once slashed off, reveal a extremely fragile flesh. Their stomachs are unprotected and slashing them can be fatal. They can have a large variety of chest designs. So be creative. They also have a acidic Silvia, genetically different for every Divewing. The "venom" barley causes harm to Flesh but non organic things is another story. The venom can melt stone very quickly, and metal very slowly. Doesn't really effect wood though. But the venom can become dangerous if the Divewimg eats a large quantity of gems, it somehow makes a chemical reaction that makes it more like Rainwing venom, but it's mainly only the queen who has it. They have a fin like tail for steering.

Alliances[]

The Skywings Burn and her Sandwings Mudwings

History, The Cursing[]

(Before war of the sand wings, after the events of "Darkstalker") Long ago before the Sandwing war the Divewings were and still are a secret tribe. One day a animus Seawing, (a great grandson of albatross) was captured by the Divewings, they force him to use his magic, the Seawing enchanted 10 spears that can control the wing for 10 seconds before needing 5 minutes to recharge, and other lost relics. Eventually the Seawing snapped, but before he was killed, cursed the entire Divewing race, "You will never be able to walk with others again!" He had screamed to the old queen before he was killed, after the hatchlings started to hatch with deformed back limbs, the uncursed soon all died out and nothing but cursed remains. They now fear, mainly Seawings and all Animus dragons

History, The Flight War[]

(Starts before war of the Sandwings, ends once it starts) The flight war is the war between the Skywings and the Divewings, because the Skywings found them in their territory Queen Scarlet declared war, and Queen Atmosphere agreed, the went on in secrecy, but ubruptly ended when Princess Burn asked for alliance for the war, knowing she, wouldn't be able to handle it, Queen Atmostsphere and Queen scarlet agreed to stop the Flight War, the Divewings secretly join the Skywings

History, War of the Sandwings[]

Durning the war the Divewings joined the Skywings, mainly for defense, and when with Skywings, kind of looked like a weird skywing, the Divewings normally hunt and defend the Skywings and they do so in return.

History, Escaping Peril[]

The Divewings had no interference nor made a apperence, leaving the troubles to the Skywings, since not knowing who to support.

Diet[]

Divewings normally prey on Hawks, but they can't really sustain a tribe on birds, they have a very weak digestive system and need to eat rocks to digest most meals, they also believe eating gems helps them, and in a way it does! It slightly in enhances their venom, so a Divewing (Like the queen) who eats gems regularly has very powerful silva. Most reports of missing gems are direct results of a foolish Divewing.

Location[]

While the exact location is unknown they live in a cave system (mostly made by them tunneling using there venomous saliva) in the mountains near the Sky kingdom. The entrance is a pure obsidian gate, with 4 guards on the other side, 2 normally wielding the "wind spears" the labyrinth they defend is full of Divewings, they mainly kill any dragon who has seen the gate, because there are guards stationed outside. Normally it's hard to escape them alive. But it has been proved they live in the "Under The Moutain" Region.

Culture, The Breeding Law[]

A complicated Divewing law that restricts breeding. In the beginning it was only primary colored Divewings, with base colors being Red, Blue, or Yellow, a secondary chest color and second iris, Orange, Green, Purple, and another Primary color for chest markings and the the first iris. The law was enforced to keep pure bloodlines, but life find a ways, and the second generation was born, they were the same, but their base color was a primary, at first they were treated differently, but eventually it died down, but Generation 2's are strictly forbidden to breed with others, for black, white and brown Divewings, for some reason, are considered cursed, the hatchling is killed along with both parents to stop "corrupting their bloodline with cursed ones." Divewings are always killed for treason, mainly breaking the breeding law. Only primaries of loyal bloodlines can rule.

Queen[]

The current Queen, Queen Atmosphere is a red Divewing with green as her 2nd color and blue as her 3rd. She has a large amount of treasure. She soon became close allies with Queen scarlet after the Flight war. She and Queen Ruby are also fine allies.

Names[]

The Names normally consist of two parts invoking air, flight, and space in rare occasions. Also sometimes have one part names
