Added some more depth to Platyboss's lore on Radioemmiters:
The Chromatic and Metallic dragons were at war from the beginning of time, but there were always so few of them from the battles. They needed more soldiers, and they needed them quickly. Both sides feared the other was building a huge battalion of all their dragons to attack, so they each studied deep magic. A mysterious wizard known as Enoch helped them both to create a new set of dragons: Gem and Ferrous. The wizard used strange, ancient magic that the dragons had never seen.
With thousands of more dragons, the war continued and the bloodlust was greater than ever. Hundreds of dragons fell on the battlefield, and as an ancient recounting says, “The fields were drowned in dragon blood.”
A Ferrous dragon, fallen in combat, used ancient draconic magic to form a prophecy in their last dying breaths. It stated that if a chromatic and ferrous dragon, both at war with each other, unified then a new, peacekeeping dragon would be formed from that unity.
After hundreds of years of the war, two generals, a Chromium Ferrous dragon and a Red chromatic dragon, abandoned the war and decided to have peace and unity. Then, the fallen Ferrous dragon’s prophecy was fulfilled as a new type was formed. This type is known as
Radioemmiter dragons. They soon discussed with the other dragons to create peace, and peace was kept. But, Enoch hated this. He needed their fallen souls to create a spell that would give him unimaginable power. So, he cursed several of the Radioemmiter dragons to be chaotic and evil, causing the dragons to erupt in war again. But, Enoch’s plan did not last long, as a group of dragons discovered his true intentions, and slayed him.
But, Enoch’s curse still lives on and the dragons still battle endlessly, from the start of time till its end.

Bandito of Trench. East is up. Dema don't control us.
Yo what's up guys, I've had an epic thread idea and so have written up some lore on it, and would like some feedback to see if anybody would play in it or can improve the concept. I also shared this to Onions Are Like Worms since that's the biggest discussion thread, so hopefully I can get some responses there, but since this idea is pretty much all lore, so I think it would be good to share here and see what people think of it!
You Are What You Eat
In this world, life and society is barely blossoming, the land still young and fresh as the people upon the earth discover the powers that nature provides. Here, when a creature eats another living thing, for a short amount of time, they gain some traits and powers from that thing, such as gills from a fish, the longevity of a tree or the scales from a lizard. These powers only last for about a day though, before they taper off as the digestive system dissolves the ability, so most diets are strict and structured, built to get the most valuable abilities out of every meal, a constant experiment of testing new foods to try and discover their affects and grow in strength. Some small like-minded enclaves choose a food and stick to it, allowing the powers of their chosen dish to become like second nature, whilst other nomadic groups are constantly wandering, shifting their strengths as they adapt to the food of new lands and cultures, in a constant chronicled journey of discovery. However, recently, a darkness has spread across the tranquil balance of the world, as twisted warriors discover the strengths of cannibalism; through the consumption of another person, you gain all the powers they had, and so some dark warlords keep men alive to feed on the finest and most exotic foods, only to chop off a finger, toe or eyeball at the end of each day to gain the powers whilst only consuming a morsel.
So, in this fantasy early-medieval thread, you can play as one of the three factions: A dedicated tribe to a specific food, gaining stronger powers from the one dish they rely on (such as a Cow Tribe, who are like minotaurs, or a Fish Tribe, who are like fishmen from One Piece), a nomadic traveller who is constantly adapting their powers and dabbling in what the world has to offer, or an evil cannibal-conqueror, powered by the flesh of the captives they claim.

Probably 'You Are What You Eat' unless I come up with something better, though if I do make it into a thread that might end up being a while since I'm still not 100% sure about if it would do well as a thread, it's an awesome concept but I think I could capture that better in a story rather than a thead y'know?

Yo I’m Himy (He/Him) (pronounced exactly as written for those who are wondering) I'm adhd and exhibit high antisocial tendencies, so bear with me if I seem apathetic. I like reading, watching anime, playing video games, and questioning my morality. I don't rp as much as I used to, but I'm almost aways on Onions or LCW. Always willing to chat. That’s all folks!
“Memento Mori. All things die eventually, so make the most of the time you have left.” - me
In this word, a kind of creature called Colossi (Sing: Colossus) that are absolutely massive. The average Colossus reaches above commercial airplane flight heights. They are also pretty much invulnerable, at least by normal standards. No man made weapon has ever managed to pierce the hide of a Colossus, and are generally presumed to have an infinite lifespan. All in all, they’re borderline immortal. Colossi aren’t often seen, as they are incredibly solitary creatures, rarely seen awake (they sleep for extended periods of time, around 100-150 years, staying awake for a comparable amount of time). They are also incredibly magical, some scholars believing that they were the progenitors of magic, teaching them to the first wizards. Why is this important? Because people wanted to harness that power. They couldn’t tame a Colossi, but they could try to copy its genetic makeup. And it worked. Various kingdoms and nations managed to create Pseudo Colossi, technically called Biologically Engineered Gigantic Organisms or BEGO for short. Nobody calls them that anymore, mostly because they’re all dead. Why you may ask? Because everyone saw that everyone else also had these superpowered living super weapons and all did the natural thing. Started a world war. Fun fact, there was actually a evolutionary reason Colossi are so durable and peaceful. It’s because their entire bodies are magical, and when then die, some kind of reaction happens, causing them to poison the environment so much that staying there for more than 30 minutes results in instant death. In slightly better news, it also reshape the land around it for some reason, warping it greatly. This time, the corpses sunk underground and the surrounding earth rose high in the air, above the very clouds. Now, over a thousand years after that horrible war, everybody has adapted to high altitude life, creating the sky ships as a way of travel. Sadly, the world is greatly split apart, causing all these countries in the sky to become isolated. Some people don’t like that, making it their life’s mission to visit as much of this fractured world as they can, possibly even mapping out the entire thing

I made some lore for Magenta Dragons that I think is neat.
a lich has all the time in the world. and during this time, they get up to some truly heinous arcane experiments. due to an experiment on red dragon eggs, magenta dragons were created. magenta dragons are visually distinct from other dragons, with five horns ringing their face, permeable spots on their back, and a thagomizer on their tail, but their breath weapon is truly fascinating. the magenta dragon breathes a white fog, and anything fully enveloped in the fog, disappears. (for 1 round. there's a dex save to). when they need to, they can expell their fog from the permeable spots on their back, dissapeering themselves. liches often use magenta dragons as guards, because a magenta dragons cannot resist a command by a lich. in the wild, they enjoy high elevations and hoarding magical creatures
