Alabaster/Blackstone old-world Giveaway

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Fri May 19, 2006 10:23 pm

I haven't actually managed to get any true links to the pages yet. They are technically in the Database area, as people put the pages up they list them in there or one of these other threads.

http://www.geocities.com/kshau_protecto ... isting.htm

It's missing the very last person's (before you and Indigo) batch, and probably missing my own batch. Ah - well, my own batch has pages,

http://www.geocities.com/dragonhope_wey ... riders.htm blue for instance. (you can see the others by backing up to the last index, there's nothing private in the directory.)

As for stories, I am *not* requiring anything at all to be written except I do want a link to the kshau_protectorate geocities page or the Healing Den's page. I'm redoing some stuff on another site which will eventually link to the listing but for now that'll be fine.

You can take or leave whatever you'd like about each persona, though I prefer that their name, age and gender remain the same as well as the year they bonded - that has to remain because their pedigree requires it. Personality notes are yours to do with as you please, as well as stuff like if riders are related, know one another at all, etc etc. I try to put together characters that are entertaining, it's a generator I made anyway, so they should usually give a little inspiration for whatever you need to use em for.

Like if you have any specific needs (healer wing, search riders, nexus-travellers, weyrleader/wing leaders, etc) I can pull those too, it's just more clicking for me

Yeah lol it just occured to me that I have some great rendering programs - essentially free of having to learn how to use them like Vue or Poser. City of Heroes, Sims and other games that let you really play with appearance are all so fun for that.

Holy moly are you still giving these guys out? I totally missed it the first time. @.x

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 1:23 am

Yeah they're still available.

Just ask for whatever you'd like, Alabaster and Blackstone both have all the colors (green, blue, red, purple, cream, brown, slate, copper, bronze, gold, white, black, silver). If you want to specify riders from Pern or Alskyr I can do that, or special needs like searchriding or recordskeeping.

Neishai · Post by **Neishai** » Thu Aug 10, 2006 1:48 am

How many? random
Any preferences to types/colors? random colors; I could probably use all ranks/job categories
Any preferences to rider gender/mixes? any/all gender/orientation actually. :3
Alabaster or Blackstone, or mixed/random? random... as long as they don't mind coming to Alskyr (if they aren't there already)

Filling Dusana's ranks. Whee! Thanks so much! ^^

Shweet! Thanks so much! ^^ <3

I have a couple questions about the pairings. I have a Blackstone Male Slate x Male Rider. I have never come across that color in a dragon, but I'm guessing it's an example of a high/rare color. And... an Alabaster Purple (femme I assume?) x Male Rider. Do these pairings indicate anything as far as sexual orientation? The Purple Rider had mention of a phobia of the opposite sex and intimacy issues, but that could mean anything. I just wanted to know what your general 'rules' have been in the past - because I'd like them to be more... signature? of your establishments, if possible. :3 If it simply means he's gay, I have some ideas. If it doesn't... I have some ideas for that too... XD

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Aug 12, 2006 5:33 pm

Generally speaking the normal Pernese color types apply, plus:
Purple - female dragons, usually have female riders
Red - male dragons, usually have male riders
-- these are what I'd consider 'low ranked, less important to worry about personality' but purples are often protective, reds are often argumentative (in my alskyr anyway lol)

Cream - female dragons, usually have female riders
(paired with Brown) -- as a middle ranked, this type of female dragon with a male rider, the rider would really be fruity

They are in my opinion the second best and most productive motherly types to Golds.

Slate - usually male dragon but sometimes female, either rider
Copper - usually male (mostly) dragon, but (rarely) female, usually male rider
-- these are mid-high rankers, just under bronze/gold in my version. *very strong willed* riders because they're quite large generally. Other than that, it'd take a pretty butch woman to ride either.

Black, White, Silver - all either gender, with either gender riders, and less important to worry about cross-gendering because they're of mixed (unplaced, some like them low, some like em high) rank.
