**Characteristics**

Appearances

NightWings have forked, black tongues and usually have black or purplish-black scales with silver, purple, or dark blue underscales (mind readers have silver teardrop scales by the corners of their eyes). They have been described with dark green or black eyes. The underside of their wings are always black and speckled with silver scales, giving it the appearance of a night sky filled with twinkling stars, allowing them to fly at night without detection. They have black, gray, silver, dark green, dark blue, or dark purple underbellies. NightWing names can be compound words describing the NightWing powers, such as Fatespeaker and Mindreader. The names can also describe the dragon's personality or occupation, such as Mastermind and Quickdeath. Descriptive words, such as Thoughtful and Vengeance, are used as well, as are night-themed words such as Starflight and Moonwatcher.

Abilities

If NightWing eggs are exposed to the light of the three moons, it is possible that the dragons will obtain powers such as mind-reading or future-seeing, depending on how many of the moons are full. If one moon is full, the NightWing will receive one of the two powers. If two moons are full, they will receive both. If all three moons are full-which is an extremely rare event, happening every one hundred years-they will have extremely strong powers. It was previously believed that hatching under three full moons would grant animus powers, but this was disproved hundreds of years ago. All animus dragons have some IceWing blood, as they are descended from Whiteout, the younger sister of Darkstalker and daughter of Foeslayer and Arctic.

Personalities

The NightWings have an infamously high-and-mighty mindset, believing themselves to be superior to all other tribes, much like their lifelong rivals the IceWings. Extreme loyalty to the tribe is expected and even demanded on occasion, which results in a tight-knit but blindly loyal tribe. The NightWings value intelligence and learning more than any other tribe, and they are known for their massive library, featuring a collection of all of Pyrrhia's knowledge.

You may not use the names of major canon characters (ex. Moonwatcher, Starflight, Battlewinner, etc.). If you happen to have your character named the same as one, you will be asked to change it.

**Hierarchy**

NightWings with mind-reading powers are marked with ✫, while dragons with future-seeing powers are marked with a ✬.

Royalty

**This rank is closed.**

The NightWing queen is the sole most politically powerful NightWing on the continent. She may have mind-reading or future-seeing powers. Queens, when newly coronated, will often seek out a dragon to marry and make into the King of the tribe (see right for info), though this is optional if the Queen had biological dragonets prior to crowning. The rank of 'Queen' can only be obtained by biological princesses, through a challenge (battle to the death) with the queen. The queen may decline their challenge, but it is a matter of great honor. The longer a queen reigns, the more difficult it will be to challenge her. The queen is to be addressed as 'Your Majesty' by any rank lower than a Royal Seer. **Queen Sapience is not accepting challenges.** | **【1/1】**

The Crown Princess is the 'alpha princess' of sorts. She is the queen's chosen heir, and will take the queen's place if she were to die by other means than a challenge (ex. murder, old age, killed in combat) to prevent any future wars of succession. She often bullies and bosses around the tribe's other princesses, as she is considered superior. The Crown Princess is to be addressed as 'Your Grace' when speaking to her personally by any rank lower than a Royal Seer. | **【5/10】**

The royal guards are the fierce, noble dragons who are tasked with protecting the palace and the royal family. They are a few steps above the average soldier, and typically are tasked with ordering around the palace's guards. If a royal guard fails on their duty, there are various punishments depending on what happened. If a valuable object was stolen or a royal was severely injured or killed, they may be demoted, exiled, or even executed for incompetence and/or failure to properly protect their charge(s). The captain of the royal guards is to be addressed as 'Sir' or 'Ma'am' by any rank lower than a Royal Seer. | **【1/5】**

Nobles are higher-ranking normal citizens, and are often either very wealthy or have been demoted from a higher rank such as king, general, councilor, or royal guard. They are protected by the NightWings' army, and often have little to worry about. This rank is considered of a higher, more refined class than the average commoner, but are not much different. They do, however, hold some power among the tribe, and are often considered for spouses to princes or princesses who are seeking one out, military officers, royal advisors, or other positions of prestige and honor. | **【0/6】**

**Commoners**

**This rank is open.**

The Nocturnal Army is the fighting force of the tribe. They are the main force on the battlefield, and are typically lead by the king or a general. During times of peace, some soldiers are sent as spies to other tribes, collecting information on conflicts and government. They also assist in arresting prisoners. Spies are marked in the rank tables with an italicized rank symbol. Spies are picked. | **【4/∞】**

Healers are the dragons who serve the tribe not by battling our enemies with brute force and complex strategies, but by healing the sick and wounded. They are very helpful and commonly dislike violence, but, like all dragons, they can fight if they must. At least one or two healers are often present at large-scale battles and if there are several healers on duty, some may even travel with patrols. Healers have access to medicines better than mere herbs or poultices, though they often do rely on the plants that they cultivate or grow wild. The healers are overseen by a head healer (⚕⚕), who appoints teachers to healers-in-training (⚕). | **【1/5】**

Students are the schoolchildren of the tribe. They attend academy sessions during the daytime and study at night, and are expected to be attentive, diligent workers. They will be given basic education in certain fields and then will be allowed the opportunity to pursue their own paths in either the Army or a civilian career. Students are sorted into classes of five dragons and assigned to one instructor. To become a student, you must be a NightWing civilian and at least four years old. | **【3/25】**
