While I would have liked this to be a surprise after the first post, yes, this Quest is a little idea I've gotten after reading a ton of stories about people winding up as Heroes, Demon Kings, and various Monsters and hapless Adventurers after death or sudden summoning. In all the ones I've read, sadly so far, all of them were male except for one cute one called Black Healer. As a girl myself I feel this is a little disappointing. Being a fan of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken(Aka Slime Tensei Monogatari), and having had the dream of being a Dragon in a DnD Campaign for years, I see no reason why a Dragon can't be an adventurer or summoned Hero. There will be choices up for vote and discussion!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Autumn Harvestmere Hawthorne, which has led to a few of my friends 'affectionately' nicknaming me 'AHaHa!'. With the exclamation point, like with a Waaaugh!, becausemy friends are smartasses I had a tendency to laugh like a total Evil Machevellian sometimes, or a witch, or just a crazy person. I also happen to be a total nerdy geek who reads manga translations and fanfictions online, and when the quality is good, my inhuman noises will startle unknowing people passing by, draw odd looks, that sort of thing.
For the most part, my life was pretty normal. I went through highschool with a good GPA, tried college for a year or so, then set forth to join the working world and try to get a career. I was fairly average in appearance for an American girl; long brown hair, brown-hazel eyes, kind of pudgy with an ambiguous skintone, freckles, and a small gap in my front teeth. It's an alright life, but I had dreams too!!
My goals for life were... Grandoise from some points of view, and modest from others. I wanted to become a best-selling author, greater than JK, get married,(gender not important, personalities were more my draw, tho pretty people were still a LOT of fun to look at) buy my dream house in the country and have three children, being able to work from home and take care of the kids in relative comfort. I never needed flashy cars or a house in Beverly Hills, but I admit I never really liked -needing- to work for a living, either.
The point is, I liked living, had plans, and not being a big fan of pain or death, I intended to live a good, long time with friends and family, regardless of if I ever got a partner of my own.
And yet, here I was, having a fairly unnerving sense or wishing harder to have been fireproof while gazing at a flaming building that I know my physical body is inside. Or, was.
You see, as far as I was able to tell, I was dead.
"Well, that's a freaking ripoff!" I shouted to myself. There was still so much I wanted to do! I wasn't ready to die yet! "I want a do-over! Why didn't I hear the smoke alarm!?"
Suddenly, I heard laughter. Like, that little voice in your head that says the most awful things when you're writing fanfiction, especially the really naughty kind. "Well, would you like to create another character?"
"What?!"
"If you could live again, what would you want most in your life?"
I thought about this, grumbling under my breath "I'd want to be fireproof" as I crossed my arms. "... Like, here on Earth?"
"No." The voice replied. "A world sort of like those books you read."
"Fantasy? With magic and powers and stuff?" I asked, already beginning to imagine it. "Well, first off, I'd want to be able to fly. Either I have wings, or I can shapeshift, and turn into something with wings. And, well, I wouldn't want to be immortal, but I'd like to be durable and be a really long-lived race. Indefinite lifespan is much better than immortality. And yeah, I'd want to be beautiful and fit. I liked being me, but I didn't like my extra pounds ballooning out." I thought about all the RPGs I'd played and all the manga I'd read. Was I in one of those Hero or Demon King mangas? That would be so cool!! And I'd be one of the only girls to be put into the Main Character role... Which meant I could have a harem of my own!!! I imagined myself as some sort of angelic being, with tasteful sparkly jewelry adorning my body, and surrounded by fantasy beings.
Pretty Elves, Handsome Healers, Chivalrous Knights, Dashing Rogues, Bad Boy Demons, Beautiful Faeries, Burly Barbarians, Gorgeous Royals, Sweet Monsters, and so much more!! In life, I could certainly appreciate the aesthetics of men and women of specific types, but falling in actual love was more a case by case basis. However, if this was a fantasy world, and we were talking about -my- fantasies.... "I'd want to be strong enough to protect my loved ones and my home!" I clenched my fists, getting into my fangirlish mode now. "I mean, I wouldn't mind being protected from time to time, but who wants to be defenseless in a fantasy setting? No thank you. And I'd want to be able to collect all the pretty, shiny things! And people! Reverse harem ftw!" I giggled, feeling my face turning red. "No, but seriously-"
"Alright, I think I have everything we need!"
"Huh?"
"I said we're ready to begin! Okay, get ready!"
"W-wait, are you being serious here?!" I squeaked, flailing a little in my weightlessness as my surroundings went dark. "Hey, hang on!!"
My senses began to go, a sort of deeply asleep feeling coming over me from the toes up. Before my vision went and plunged me into darkness, I saw a screen pop up before me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright! Sort of soon, but before I continue, I want to have a discussion and vote on some options.
AHaHa! Is going to be born as a dragon, but there are a few options as to how she's going to start out.
The first decision is; Is she going to be born as a Wild Dragon(In a dungeon, in a Mountian Nest or did she just appear in the middle of nowhere as a young adult Dragon), or was she Summoned by someone, (Or some affiliation, like a country) or something else? I've decided to leave this part to you guys.
I'm hoping this will be good, cracky fun for all, as this is my first writing of a quest ever! Long time Dragon lover, long time RP'er, long time Geek Girl!

I love the reading club mention. Books/reading = life for me... And yes, AHaHa! is not evil herself, (At this point at least) so even if she is summoned by a no goodnik baddie, she's probably not going to be very compliant.

Exactly.
From my imagination and phone text I give you Drago no somesuch!
Evil King: Conquer the Empire in my name.
*flies away*
Dragon: Oh look a castle! I should ask them if they know where im suppose to go.
*Some time later*
Evil King: Why are you not doing your job.
Dragon: Im only like 5 months old dad. Do i have to get a job so soon?
Evil King: grrrreat.

My original idea for the title was "Watashi wa Ryuu no Adventurer-Sama!" But I was told Japanese in the title was a bad Idea. XD

Note, if we wind up with ties, we'll either have a tie breaker or I'll see about combinations.
Well, considering how there is a poll, I don't think that there's any need to vote normally.
I just wanted to note my interest. A quest in which the main character is a dragon is a thing I've been wanting to play for a while.
I'll certainly be watching this.
As for my vote, I prefer the more structured ones. As in, the ones in which we will have some kind of clear starting position as opposed to just being dropped somewhere. Personally I'd rather one of the "summoned by a tribe" options, but being summoned by a demon king sounds fun as well.

Well, as the demon king is winning, are we talking western demon king(Max evil) or eastern demon king(Lord of nonhumans/spirits)?

EXCELLENT QUESTION.
I figured this is one of the things we could discuss as well. The Demon King I've been mentally referring to is like "The strongest Royal Demon and Lord of Dark Races", so yes, I've been thinking along the lines of the Asian style. However, I tend to kind of blend, so here's what my mental guidelines for Demons will be in this story;
1) Demons and Fallen Angels are not the same thing. Demons are the naturally born beings of hell/darkness, and Fallen had to fall from Heaven.
2) Demons have seven main Courts (Nobility/higher class demons) each headed by an Archdemon, and a Royal family that they all must answer to. Middle class and higher belongs to one of the courts or the Royal family, and Mid-low class and below are all 'Casteless' demons and most are of the non-thinking variety with little to no willpower.
3) Demons and Angels do NOT typically get along. There is a lot of bad blood here, both sides are guilty of things.
Basically, I hate hard line "all demons are evil and all angels are good". If they're individuals with personalities, then it stands to reason that not all are going to be one way.
Which leads to the next question: what kind of guy will the Demon King be? Will he technically even be the king yet? But we can figure that out after he wins or looses this poll.

I'd like to pitch the idea of a Nameless King. No not Dark Souls (I only rip out names see?) but a Demon King who is in fact a bastard between a unknown demon and fallen. The most unholy matrimony that our world/universes is known too and is partly the reason why their is 'evil in the world'. His Parents took the regular world by storm and at the same time Hell itself only for the intervention of the Gods/Goddesses themselves to stop the whole debacle. His parents were not only killed but obliterated so much that no one can bring them back, they exist only in memory and even that has faded. The boy of this unholy matrimony was never even given a name before learning of this later in life.
So what of the one child? Well he was locked in a cell guarded by both Demons and Angels out of spite but somehow broke out. However his mind is absolutely bent with his only TRUE thoughts being rational to one purpose only. Supreme Domination of Hell, Mortals, and Heaven. An what better way to start this all than to break out of jail, evade pursuers, learn magic for millennia, and than begin his plan in full.
That's were we come in as the Nameless King creates the Imperium of sceleratis ('Unholy' in latin. Anime does this right? I think so.) and we it's greatest weapon the Dragon. He also has his own army of dark beings that our SCIENCED/MAGIC'd together to create his own Uruks (oh yeah i'm stealing from Sauron now too!) as his foot soldiers. Their big in numbers, viciousness, and even intelligence but are full of malice towards each other. Thus he needs us and his Generals to do alot of work while he conjures up his other secret plans for Supreme Domination.
Thoughts?

I like this idea and will take it into consideration, though it might be a teensy bit dark for a comedy- centric quest. If given a few quirks it could be workable, though there are some other ideas I'm also playing with based on how votes go.

Okay, the votes are in!! We are going with a Wild Born Dragon in a nest! Thank you all for participating, and no worries, I will take the next two highest votes into consideration as well for surrounding story. ((MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first thing I was aware of was the beating of my own heart. I was curled up, fairly cramped actually, but it was warm and sort of comforting. Also... sort of humid? Like I was wrapped in a wetness.
I shifted a little, my motion causing my toes to scrape lightly against something, making an odd sort of muffled sound. My half awake state also triggered something, a panel opening up in my mind's eye.
... Huh. You sort of mentally 'blink', and the panel goes away, replaced by a new one.
Wait a second. That-! I'm-!!
I began to struggle, aware my noises were not typical of my previously human state. The container I was in rocked violently with my movements, and finally, it cracked open!
I tumbled out of the thing in a gush of viscous fluids with an alarmed chirp, landing on my back with my head caught in... something round?
I heard a deep, rumbling, yet feminine chuckle somewhere above me as a large... hand? Gently wrapped around my torso and rolled me onto my stomach before removing the object from my head. "Oh, what a beautiful girl you are." The voice crooned, as I blinked the blurriness from my eyes. Then, looked up.
The large, elegant dragon smiled at me. I recognized it as a smile, somehow, and felt a great rush of... well, affection, yes, but mingled with Holy amazeballs it's a freaking DRAGON.
I looked around myself, and saw that we were standing in a huge nest of glittery things, mostly precious gems, though there was a large amount of silks and scrolls and mirrors as well. We seemed to be in some sort of large cavern, with light coming in from a hole above, reflecting off of carefully placed mirrors to brighten the place. And next to me, there was a being more my size.
A baby dragon, much smaller than the adult, it's wings still damp and hanging limply at it's sides. I squeaked in surprise as my mother- my mother?!- plucked at something on my back, and I felt a wet pop as my own wings- WHAT?!- fell wetly on the treasure below me.
"Welcome to life, Ivorixia, my little Daughter." My mother said as I looked at myself in one of the mirrors, a perfect reflection of the other dragon, save for the arrangement of my nubby horns and frills.
I was alive again.
I was a dragon.
....
HOLY AMAZEBALLS I WAS A FREAKING DRAGON!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hooraaay! And note, I'm going to have the appearance of the dragon change based on your decisions and life choices! She doesn't have to stay shiny blue-white if you don't want her to, but it won't change for a while yet.
The votes for today are as follows;
[] Freak out about being a dragon, THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!!
[] Be a little disappointed that you didn't turn into a beautiful angel-like being, what sort of sane hotties are going to flirt with a giant magical reptile and want to be in your harem? I mean, how can you even...? It just seems messy.
[] Faint, the feels, they are too much.
[] Attack your brother, you're too confused to process anything right away.
And also
What name are we going with? AHaHa! is the magic name for her, but I wanted to give you all the option of picking/voting for a different name if you'd like.

Article: Player Name: Autumn Harvestmere Hawthorne
Nickname: AHaHa!
Name: Ivorixia
Age: 0
Race: High Dragon (Legendary)
Titles: AHaHa!(Magic Name), Hatchling, Daughter of ARiHa and RoHaI
Traits: High Dragon's Mind- "A Mind is a terrible thing to waste." As the pinnacle of the dragon species, High Dragons have the Mana and mental apptitude to learn and cast spells, as well as store and retain more knowledge than many other species.
High Dragon's Body- "I'm fireproof. You're not." Ability to fly, walk, swim, and breathe fire. Foreclaws are dexterous and tail is capable of fine motor skills (With practice). Scales will harden in armor class with age. (Appearance will change with experience and age.)
High Dragon's Tongue- "This is my Universal Translator, although it only translates into an incomprehensible dead language." The ability to speak and understand all languages spoken in this world. Quite handy for negotiations.
High Dragon's Heart- "What does a dragon know about love?" Dragon's have a very big heart... actually, they have three, but that's besides the point. Physically and emotionally speaking, dragons have a great capacity for love and protectiveness, but also greed and obsession. Be careful not to let it get carried away.
Hoarding- "IT'S NEVER ENOUGH!" A High Dragon's hoard can be any number of things, but the urge is there.
Kleptomania- "I have no idea how that got there. Really." Dragons have a tendency to pick up things they want for their hoard, sometimes by accident.
High Dragon's ??????- (Locked)
???????- (Locked)
High Drama- "Somewhere in this place is a dial marked; "High Drama", and it needs to be turned WAY down." Most dragons have this trait. They have a love for fun and entertaining things, and believe in making an entrance. And an exit. And being in the spotlight. Basically they should all be in the theater.
