Let the blades of the Dragonflies soar!

Created by William Roehm III

The Kingdom of Citrine is in a constant threat against the never ending waves of huge crystal covered insects known as Calites. With their jagged rock-hard exteriors, the Calites are able to withstand most attacks. It was discovered that only the underbelly of the Calites showed weakness. Though the soldiers were able to kill the Calites, the number of casualties were astronomical due to soldiers being overrun. Citrine had to figure out a way to quickly eliminate the invading Calites while also keeping their soldiers safe.

Thus the Dragonflies were born.

Where the Story Begins…

It has now been twenty years since the founding of the Dragonflies. The Kingdom of Citrine has been expanding out its defensive walls against the ever invading swarm of Calites. One evening, tragedy struck as many explosions occurred around the outermost wall letting in a huge onslaught of Calites. All of Citrine’s forces were deployed to hold back the Calites, but they were quickly overrun. The land between the 8th and outermost wall, and the lives of many civilians, soldiers and Dragonflies were lost. This moment is now known as the 9th Wall Tragedy.

A month has now past since the 9th Wall Tragedy. It is now the day of the long anticipated Dragonfly open tryouts to replace the fallen Dragonflies of Citrine. To get the best longevity of their soldiers, the military reaches out to the youth of Citrine to recruit the next generation of Dragonflies.

These new recruits would need to master the technology of the Enerblades while also learning how to properly work as a team in the heat of combat. Will the new Dragonflies be able to fill the shoes of those who came before them? Why are the Calites continuously attacking the Kingdom of Citrine? Will the Dragonflies discover the truth behind what caused the 9th Wall Tragedy?

Meet the 2nd Swarm

Alexander Darners (The Leader)

For 15 years, Darners commanded the 2nd Swarm of Dragonflies for the Kingdom of Citrine. After the fall of his last squadron during the 9th wall tragedy, Commander Darners has been assigned a new group of young solders that have qualified to become Dragonflies.

Kromer Vikrast (The Lancer)

Born from a royal lifestyle within the first walls, Kromer vowed to do his part to protect Citrine. Kromer’s arrogance gets the best of him many times as he tends to butt heads with any authority figures around him. He strives to become the next symbol of hope to the weak and helpless.

Kabili “Sweet Pea” Gardner (The Heart)

Raised in the slums outside the third wall, Sweet Pea learned to be quick on her feet to survive. After being caught stealing food from the markets, she was approached by a Citrine military recruiter to apply for the Dragonfly tryouts or to face the actions of her crime.

Lollo Plainthorn (The Muscle)

Lollo was born and raised as a farmer’s daughter outside the 8th wall of Citrine. During the 9th wall tragedy, Lollo and her younger brother were rescued by Captain Darners. Now Lollo has vowed revenge against the Calites for the death of her family.

Odin Olson (The Brain)

Odin is recognized as the son to Robert Olson, one of the head scientists of the Kingdom of Citrine. Odin is easily able to quickly analyze any issue he is presented. Unfortunately, his social skills lack polish as he sometimes makes social situations awkward.
