So I have been creating a dragon rider rp set in a victorian-esque era (non-earth world. maybe modern instead of victorian, idk yet). I don't have all the information flushed out since I'm terrible at world building, but here's what I have so far to see if anyone might be interested.

Instead of focusing on rider-to-rider relationships, the focus would be on dragon-and-rider relationships. Riders and dragons would be played by separate people as the dragons wouldn't be reflections of their humans and the rider bond would form over time before the two players may opt for a 'bonding ritual' to give them the perks of a full bond. Or if you have a rp partner already, you could create a pair with them right off the bat. (Of course, if someone wanted to play a dragon and their rider they wouldn't be stopped, they'd just have to app the two separately though creating a rider candidate or a lone dragon would be far more encouraged!)

Dragons aren't everywhere they are about 1 dragon per 60k humans (so there are roughly 20k dragons in the world), riders tend to stick to rual areas to give their dragons plenty of space.

There is a thing called a 'false bond' (name in progress) which a human can forcibly bond with a hatchling but it damages the dragon and is highly illegal.

The tech would be that of mid victorian era, rather than the standard fantasy medieval era would think dragons would be in, in a world with long winters and short summers. That is about all I have of the world's setting so far.

So yeah. That's what I have so far without getting into dragon growth stages and what a rider bond grants. Let me know if you are interested or have any suggestions. I would love assistance on world building if any one would be kind enough to toss ideas at me
