Dregen Tamer AU

Premise
This AU focused on a world where dragons are considered legendary beasts that worshipped by the denizens of said world.

It is said that humans and dragons had once lived in peace, working together side by side as partners as they were led by a kind, wise, beautiful queen and her dragon partner.

Sometime later, the queen fell ill and was bedriddened.

Apparently the queen was poisoned by a venomous dragon’s poison given daily by the Queen’s Advisor who wanted the throne for themself.

After the queen died, her dragon rampaged upon finding out their human companion was slowly being killed by the very kingdom they swore to protect. The Dragon Queen commanded all the dragons to no longer assist the filthy humans and one by one, the dragons disappeared.

The Dragon Queen was challenged by a Phantom Dragon who goes by the name, Eidos and was defeated. Eidos was crowned the new King of Dragons.

Eidos is the evil King that caused the Dragon Tamers to once again rise and fight against the forces of evil.

Dregen Class
Emperor Dragons - The highest ranked dragons that are said to be the strongest of their element.

Knight Dragons - Servants to the Emperor Dragons. They’re excellent in speed and agility but in terms of strength, they are weaker than the common dragons.

Common Dragons - These dragons are often seen almost anywhere. Power level wise, not the weakness, not the strongest.

Omega Dragons - The weakest of the weak, they are small, barely have any fire power and terrible at listening to orders but they do make good pets.

Human-Dregen Bonds
All Dragons are able to have bonds with humans but a human can only bond with one dragon.

The strength of the bond is depending on the class of the dragon.

It is said that dragons lived long before humans and had walked on the world for many centuries. They said that once a dragon and human form their oath of partner through a ritual, they are forever bonded even after the human's death. The human soul will be reincarnated to a new vessel as their dragon partner feels the spark in their bond once they’ve rebirthed.

Once the human is able to correctly “sync” with their dregen, they are able to use said dregen’s abilities. The stronger the “sync”, the more abilities they are able to use without consequences.

Determination
The dregens determine which human is worthy of their bond. The human must exhibit something that would interest the dregen into wanting to form the bond. They judge a person’s character, analyze their desires, and can test their morals if needed.

Ritual
In the past, people without a dregen are sent to a sacred area and essentially judged by the dregens. When the dregen has chosen a human, there is a feeling that is only unique to that dragon. This feeling could be freedom or euphoria. It is a feeling that lets the human know that they have been chosen by a dregen and guides them in finding their dregen. This feeling is only felt when they are close to the dregen.

Only the participants are allowed within the sacred area. It is believed that this is to ensure that there is no “cheating” or outside influence that could potentially alter the dregen’s decision.

However due to the death of the Queen, the dragons no longer form bonds with the humans and the ones that are bonded are merely waiting for their bonded human partner to be reborn.

How Human-Dregen Bonds can be Broken
If the dregen dies, the human will be unable to form another bond with another dregen and will remain dregenless for the rest of their lives.

Once a bond has been broken, another one cannot form or be reformed.

-If the human decides to use the dregen for pure evil intentions (ex. genocide) then the dregen has the freewill to break free from the bond. But, of course, the human would no longer be able to form another bond.
