Star City - Updates and New Frontiers

Well, she's very much like Dark in power, if not in level, though she's still Incarna-level. Just not as powerful as her parents.

Here's Dark's page, for abilities.

http://www.edgeofshadows.com/ShadowEdge ... halla.html

For how the powers transfer--for an accual clutch, the full Shapeshifting would pass on easily, the destruction and chaos powers may not, or may soften/shift slightly. There's also a good chance her offspring would be immortal, but only after they reach adulthood (in fact, most of the abilities such as the full shapeshifting wouldn't kick in until adulthood)

No worries, Mystic, I know how that goes!

Thanks for the info, Myrror, she's neat. X3

Is there anything in particular you're looking for in chasers, Dray?

Post by **Dray** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 3:21 pm

Anything that'd mesh well with Aven-Piralan genes, colour-wise and physical-traits-wise; 'Pretty' looking, though I know that that has a lot of connotations... IC, Cemitae'd more likely go for a fiesty gal then a shy one, though he'd play fair with anyone who signed up.

Um... if you have something that'd make really pretty babies, I'm game for it, I guess! XD

I'll take a browse through my dragons and see what I have...

Post by **Dray** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 5:24 pm

I would really appreciate that. @.@ No other takers for Cemitae-babies? ;.;

Astra · Post by **Astra** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 5:50 pm

ha im already halfway through writing a candidate story for when the clutch comes out. Sad but true, I lurrrrve cemitae babies. I don't know if I have any dragons who would be suitable. I have one that would be a good match IC-ly but i'm not sure how fun to draw she'd be, she's a danachian lavender. murf.

I have a gay pewter Askan that fully believes that he would be just perfect for Cemitae. Except for that whole having offspring bit. That might be a problem. *chuckles lightly*

*scours through her list of females*

I could send Slyan. I have no clue how she'd react to her first flight, but Slyan is pretty, and well... what would Cemitae think about a Silshar and her maiden chase? *raises an eyebrow and laughs*

Chaser's Name: Slyan Zotreth d'lil Ssol Charnaggen (just call her Slyan, almost everyone else does)
Chaser's Gender: Female
Chaser's Colour/Breed: (*studies Slyan closely* I would call that Dark Blue Nebula Pointed Chrome)/Silshar
Chaser's URL: http://www.geocities.com/sunrise_twilig ... /slyan.htm
Chasing Who?: Cemitae Rufasilex
Comments: Cemitae should expect a lot of attention from this girl after initial introductions. I can't say whether Slyan will be flirting madly or just asking him a lot of questions about his life and views on the world, but she isn't one to let an object of her interest go... unpunished? *chuckles*

Not to say that she'll consciously try to aggravate him, but she'll want to be as active in his life until the flight as he'll allow her to be. There is that whole innocent, first potential mate factor to be considered after all.

oh gawd if sylan and cemitae had kids i would totally kidnap like all the offspring *uberdrool*

*so gonna send a chaser in, but may not get to it 'till tomorrow..* ;.; School eats time. It is very hungry this semester. *small flail*

Astra · Post by **Astra** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 6:20 pm

WAIT A SEC. I could send Fanei. Then both of their riders would be horrified that they're there XD

Chaser's Name: Fanei
Chaser's Gender: female
Chaser's Colour/Breed: asandus/avyndal hybrid
Chaser's URL: http://www.moon-struck.net/dragons/luci ... html#fanei
Chasing Who?: Cemitae XD
Comments: meep. Fanei's rider is very puritanical and traditionalist. She would probably get sqeamish at the idea of her bond even RISING to mate much less CHASING. which of course makes everything a lot more fun.

Keilin Alyr · Post by **Keilin Alyr** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 6:29 pm

O.O

Ooh, Fanei is pretty. Very, very pretty. I also love the bright white-red-yellow-blue tones between her and Cemitae... reminds me of fingerpaints. ^^

Patience pleeeeeeease ;.; My writing-muse has taken a hike. I'm trying to revive it, I promise ;.;

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 7:27 pm

YAY!! I found one I found one!!!

Chaser's Name: Keirath
Chaser's Gender: Female
Chaser's Colour/Breed: Cream/ Lantesamma, Spirit, Old world
Chaser's URL: http://www.freewebs.com/secrets02/keirath.htm
Chasing Who?: Cemitae Rufasilex
Comments: Heh, ^^;, never got around to doing a personality so I'll post it here cuz freewebz is giving me a hard time.

Keirath is outgoing and knows what she wants. She also knows she can't always get what she wants. She always tries to put forth her best effort. Even though she may not come out on top. Keirath can also be stubborn as well as she can be nice. If she absolutely refuses to do something she won't do it. Keirath can also be very protective of things like friends and family. She can be as playful and happy as a hatchling or as serious and motherly as an older dragoness. Sometimes Keirath can take something the wrong way. But one things are straigtened out she will usually feel embarassed and try to cover up the incident with a few favors and some appologizing.

XDD Gahd, I hope Fanei makes babies with Cemitae, I sobad wanted one from her clutch... her babies are the next best thing! GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS.

That said. :D I'll send in a chaser of my own, you know, for giggles.

Chaser's Name: Trixeliyt
Chaser's Gender: Female
Chaser's Colour/Breed: NeoGreen Flurrier
Chaser's URL: http://artdragon.mine.nu/~kat/aven/trixeliyt.html
Chasing Who?: Cemitae! >D
Comments: Because she would be SO down with chasing males rather than being the chased! X3

Post by **Dray** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 10:05 pm

Astra: I'm planning on writing a flight-story for this, too... if you were willing to write a story for your danachian, I'd include her in the writing if not in the baby-making. I'm having the urge to get back to more writing-AND-drawing as opposed to just drawing, because the writing is fun, too!
It's going to be so hard to pick a winner. XD I just want to send him in to my own agency again to pick more then one... X3
Fanei works, though! Would her rider be with her and protesting the whole time, or just before Fanei left for the station?

Keilin: D: You should have him sign up anyways, with a bit of a storybit. XD I would like to write him in, though of course there'd be no babies coming of it! Slyan works as well...
Cemitae: "D: Your first time?!" *getting the feeling of being put on a pedastal, not sure how he likes that* Should be entertaining! XD

Unyko and Cacopheny: I can wait, no worries. ^_^ I'll set a deadline once I get a chance but since I'm so busy with school as well, you'll have lots of time. >_> This whole story-business may even take a while on my part. D: SO MUCH HOMEWORK IT'S SPILLING OUT MY EARS!

Shadow: O.o Your link is taking me to a deviant-art image of somebody named Alirah, who doesn't look like a dragon at all! XD I mean... Cemitae can shape-shift into a human so having a humanoid-'clutch' or something might be cool, but I don't think that's the link you meant to put there.

Kat: .....You realize that if Trix' were to win, I'd have to do the jagged lateral stripes all across the offsprings' bodies by hand, right? @.@ EEEEVIL~! I like her personality, though! X3

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 4:12 am

O.O Oops! Nope, it's not what I meant to put there. Should be all fixed now. The URL must not have copied right when I clicked on it. And thus is the problem of doing things late when you aren't supposed to! ^^;

Post by **Dray** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 10:06 am

Thanks, Shadow! X3

Astra, out of curiosity, did Fanei's last name just not take? I know that her mother and grandmother and great-grandma have the Jariane last name following Asandus convention--did that just breed out? (I'm only asking because if she were to have offspring, now, the Rufasilex name would take by default because she seems to have none--but if she had her last name then that would overrule Cemitae's!)

Flight page should be updated by the time you guys grab another look. :D

Here we go, Camilla's stat page:

Chaser's Name: Camilla
Chaser's Gender: Female
Chaser's Colour/Breed: Silver Spirit
Chaser's URL: http://www.edgeofshadows.com/ShadowEdge ... milla.html
Chasing Who?: Cemitae Rufasilex
Comments: Spirit 'genetics' tend to blend with whatever the other is--best examples of this would be Dark's infernal offspring. Also--in character, when would this take place? (paticually in conjuction with the Synth 11 clutch?)

Post by **Dray** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:04 am

Well, I've been saying that Star City's been closed for a year but that's probably not possible--it's probably been closed for longer then that. With regards to timelines syncing with the AD, I'd just say it's a little less then a month after the 10th synth, though if Phe has something different to say, I'm willing to bend to that. >.>" I'm very bad with timelines so I usually try to sidestep around them.

Myrror · Post by **Myrror** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:10 am

Well, between Synth 10 and Synth 11 is what I was thinking--I may not get a story-bit written, but if I do, I can use what was running through my head for Camilla to give this a try.

Post by **Dray** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:19 am

Something like that, yes. X3 I don't know how far apart Phe's synths are, in character, but this one was after Cemitae brought home his daughter but not too much longer!

Comments: Well, she's pretty looking... *shrugs*

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:42 am

Actually, that works about right. Though I've never clearly stated it, because timelines are so hard to coordinate and I tend to gloss over them as well, by my own timing the Destiny has just passed its first year of being back at Star City--which is why in the Synth 10 hatching story I made mention of Callidei only being half-grown and amused/confused by all her adult siblings! XD She hasn't had the time to grow up that the rest of them did!

To be more specific to my unofficial timeline, the Destiny has been back for a year and three months as of the hatching of Synth 10. Given that the ship returned somewhat before Star City closed, the timelines probably even out to a year of Star City's closure right now.

Post by **Dray** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 4:31 pm

Thanks, Shiolar! ^_^

As a side-note, I've finished the main page of the records, but most of the flight and hatching stories, as well as the pedigree charts that contain the offspring and, well, pedigrees, still needs to be finished.

http://dracothrope.lmfao.org.uk/SCD/records.htm

The idea of using pictures by clutches was ganked from Phe. >.> Hope you don't mind, but I thought it made the page look pretty!

:D And as a side-bonus, I may end up using that picture-spot as a way to further promote people who've written fun stories--aka, if you wrote a story that I particularly liked, I'll put your dragon up in that spot as an example of the clutch so it'll get seen forevar and evar and evar! XD I think it could be fun!

(The page looks less awkward when seen in context with the rest of the site--Navigating from http://dracothrope.lmfao.org.uk/SCD to 'Records' makes the table less wide-spread.)

If you see parent-names that don't have links, it's because I couldn't find them--if you know where they've moved to, please drop me a link, here!

Post by **Dray** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 12:57 pm

...Alright, and I think that's more then enough for this flight to run. XD I'll try to get a flight story out soon.
I'm also going to change the flight rules so that you can send in more then one chaser if you write a pre-flight story, in hopes of getting people to send in writing with their chasers!

The abandoned section will soon have a few dragons (and their riders, even) looking for good homes, and those will require stories writ as well, though I haven't decided just how I should do that, yet.

For abandoned dragons, would you guys like to write it out and whoever is done first will get that dragon, if there's more then one person who wants it? Or should I hold a draw to the rights of the dragon--you'll still have to write--but if you win the draw, you won't have competition to get it? Any other suggestions for taking abandoned dragons, or is there any kind of demand for them? XD

Also, cyborware tokens and ranking systems. Do you guys like clutches that are ranked, or could you care less? Would you like me to give out larger cyborware tokens to those who write stories that impress me? Or should I save larger tokens for those who write /after/ the hatching? Or do a combination of both?

Myrror · Post by **Myrror** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 1:09 pm

meep, there probably isn't any time for me to add a story-spurt, then, is it? It wouldn't have been until later tonight, I need to get out and do some things before the buses stop running for the night.

For ranking and tokens--I could care less about rank, I'm interested in color (and I still get yellows *ehe..*). And I think a combonation of before and after writing for tokens would be best, but that's my opinion--it's your agency.

Post by **Dray** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 1:13 pm

I'm still up for story-bits since you already have Camilla in! ^_^ This flight story is going to take a while to write--XD I have plans with it and just like writing for Cemitae, so it's probably going to be a whopper--so please, if you have an idea, I'd love if you finished it! At the very least it'd give me a better idea of how to write her in the bits that she does show up!

:O Do you not like yellows? (Mostly out of curiosity, at this point)

I think maybe the tokens could take the place of colour-ranking... maybe I'll try to ask people to tell me what colours they like so that I don't give them, say, green if they like purple!
