Should I do dragonets with all flat colours, or should I do subtle markings in a different shade of the base colour?

Plain and flat!

BSW: Berylth x Linelith - Hatched!

Post by DNS »

HATCHING-
Click Me

The Infos
This will be as tranditional a clutch as can come to Mindspace.
Babies are 3/4 pernese, 1/4 Alskyrian. To my knowledge, there's no allowances for odd colours, so it will mostly be pernese, with the occasional random purple or red or cream or whatnot thrown in there.
unless either parent-owner objects, I will make the option available to get a mindspace-modified egg, which means some change, either to powers, colour, or appearance. Also a higher chance of detrimental mutation, but still. This will be hellarare though.
There are 12 eggs laid, two for dragonswap alone.
Edit- neither owner objected, so the option to get a mindspace modified egg is open. :D tell me a general idea of what you want [no promises] on your appy. Only one per person, please.

Theme!
Words.

Note on the dragonets--
I'm coming up with all the information faaar beforehand. So it'll mostly be a case of pairing candidates with whatever fits them best-- which might be some strange pairings. If you don't want a potentially dangerous/troublesome dragonet, tell me. Likewise, if there's ANY personality traits you'd rahter avoid, include them. I'm not responsible for strange pairings after that.

Sponsorships vs. Bonds
This clutch will be a mixed one, so both are available. However, since these babies are mostly pernese, most of them will bond. About 1/4 will sponsor. so yes.
Tell me on your form is if your sponsorship is tentative, or if it's only sponsorships. I.e, if it comes down to it and I've got more sponsorships then I need, would your character like to bond, or is it sponsor or nothing?

Current
12 eggs total (2 DragonSwap/10 Candidate)
0/10 Candidates to eggs
0/2 dragonswap eggs claimed

When's the hatching?
The official deadline is March 13th. However, if the clutch fills before then, I will hatch it as soon as it fills.

Candidate numbers
-For the dragonswap, first come, first served.
-For everyone else, send as many candidates as you want. I will only officially count three. The full number will be listed from the eggs, but towards the deadline-vs-full, only three will be counted. And, of course, if you send less, that many will only be counted-- it's just if you send, like, 5, I'll only count it as 3 candidates towards the deadline vs full. If a lot of people show interest, I'll drop that down to two, so more people can get in on the action.

Queen Y/N?
Yep. But she'll be a small queen, only brown sized at largest.
Males can be queen candidates.

Extra Eggs
If it comes down to it and I've got more candidates than eggs, I may make some cloned eggs appear. However, I might not. What do people think? This'll only be characters submitted with that number type thing. I.e, I won't be extending how long the clutch is open for for extra candidates.
Addition- I've got permission to do these eggs, if the need arises.

Reservations/Extentions
You can reserve spots. However, you have to have the candidates done four days after the clutch is officially closed. If you don't, reservations will be dropped. The clutch may be officially released, with the hatching/pick-up and everything, before that time-- if that happens, I'll just write you in after the fact.

Handout methods
TRhere will be two, and you can choose either. The first will be more.. like nicole does it, I suppose. "You feel a presence in your mind, a soft.." etc etc. that sort of thing. the second will be like a little personalized hatching blurb, like you'd see in a story, but without the rest of them and just for you. Like, "Across the sands, a green snout pokes out of an egg, lies still for a moment, and then thrashes, breaking apart the shell with impatience. She wanders towards -character-, looks him over, snorts and deems him capable. /charactername, I find you suitable, I am /dragonname/." That sort of thing.
Also, this is not required, but it might be a neat alternative to a story if people don't want to write one-- an intro post. Like, candidate being led into the hatching grounds of the BSW, looking across the sands, what they're feeling, how they're reacting.. that sort of thing. Like in a roleplay. For anyone who wanted to do that, they'd be prepared for a few minutes beforehand, and the weyrling master and his assistants would herd them out onto the sands. The weyrling master's a brownrider, and his assistants are three greenriders [two female, one male], and one bluerider. Just refer to them passingly, if you do this-- or you could contact me and I'll give you the names.

Flitters
I have a flitter template, so.. if you want some flitters for your candidate, i can colour up one or two. Pernese-types, though they're BSW-MM-Flitters, so they can come in all colours. You can work them into your story beforehand, or you can say they were impressed before the clutch, or after, whatever.
Max 3, preffered if it was just one or two, though, if everyone's asking for htem. Please give me an exact number for each character.

-glees at both- thankyoumuch.

I really should've kept the perspectivey neckridges with the first four, too-- lazyme! ^^ but thanks, i wasn't sure if that effect worked well. :3

-claps- and before I forget-- Dray, I've got a question for you. Linelith, the dad, had some kind of pretty shiney marking on his back hip-leg-thing. It was on the child image, though, so I dunno if it's just cyborware.. IS that a genetic thing? or is it just a non-genetic mod, that wouldn't pass on?

It was an in-shell cyborware modification that can't be passed down from generation to generation.

The backstory behind his clutch was that a journeyman was to install the cyborware successfully into the hatchlings to receive his Master's, though for some reason the purple dragonets were born with deformities that stayed with them through life. Good times!

That's a pretty nifty backstory. Makes me sad I missed it. Poor babies! I have to say, they look hella-neat, though, even deformed. -hugs them- or perhaps cuz of it. the hatchling image looks so saad~

Okay, so the theme has been chosen-- Words. Credit to tio for that.
Specifically, a set of twelve words, that the dragonets will be based for. They're related, these words, but you get no more than that.

I've also decided on the colour breakdown for this clutch. -glees-

I'm thinking that two of the twelve eggs will be engeneered, as well as the extra eggs if people want that. Cuz this is a green's clutch after all, and even ten is pushing it. XP
That is, provided I get permission from Shadow and Nicole to do that-- so. give permission?

Depending on if i get position, I'll count both parents as a candidate each, to sponsor. If I do that, however, I'll change the max candidate count to two, so that the max that can be counted that everyone sends me is two. IF people send me more than two, it'll still officially be counted as two.

so whoo.

Edit [mostly for myself]- Shadow has approved male candidates for gold, the potential for cloned eggs if i need the extra, and the potential for strange markings or colours/magically-altered [accidently] babies. :3
Also, berylth to sponsor.

I have talked to both parent-owners, and they say that I may look for males as gold candidates, that I may add extra cloned eggs should the need arise, and that one may request an abnormal baby. :D so, it's all good.

Aaaaaalso, I'm doing all the dragonets now. It'll be a case of me having all the dragonets done beforehand, and pairing up the candidates I get with the dragonets I've got. just so oyu know. I'm not changing dragons for candidates. ^^

So yeah. :D I'm adding all these updates to the first post, but I think that's all the updates I've got for awhile. So.. bring on the candies~!

Edit- adding a poll...

-wriggles- glad you're excited.

The flitters look worse than the example, by a lots~ XP They were overnight, 2 hour affairs.

I voted markings - but I'd like to caveat this by saying 'the wingsails and/or neck ridge' for the target of shading beyond the body color. The pose is beautiful as it is, though I think it'd be difficult to put actual marking-markings on them, except for the wing sails being a slightly different tone or the crest lighter/darker.

Name: shard
Email at which you can be reached: kshau_protectorate @ yahoo.com
Number of candidates: 1 so far
Should I add extra cloned eggs if there are extra candidates, or not? sure

Repeat the following for each candidate-
Name: Dakis
Gender: Male
Age: 16-ish
URL: http://www.geocities.com/saxxon_of_drag ... -dakis.htm
Race: human, Pernese born
Preferences: male dragon, but if he's good enough for the queen llllool he'd have fun with that. No wait, I would have fun with that lol!
Personality trait Preferences/antipreferences: curious, a good foil for jokes, open to ideas, good memory - any, all, whatever.
Bond/Sponsor: Impress/bond please
Is this absolute, if sponsor? I'd like him to impress, as he's going back to a Pernese weyr.
Which method of handout? little storyblurb would be cute.
Would this character be willing to take a dangerous/troublesome dragonet, or would you rather not deal with it? define 'troublesome'? :) *not* anything that's going to cause him to have trouble being in a normal, pernese wing. (ie: no deformations)
Flitters? I'd love him to have a flitter, no preferences to what kind though
Mods to dragon? probably not, traditional and all
Queen candidate? Put him in the running, but not for ONLY.
Queen only candidate? no, whatever is best for him will be fine, but do consider him for the queen just in case :)


PS I added URL to mine :) you might wanna put that in there.

-claps- I /knew/ I forgot something. -hugs- thanks. XP I'll edit that.

I always leave out the url line, for some reason.

Troublesome would be like.. mostly personality, I'm thinking. Some of the babies I'm making are generally nasty, or overcold, or hard to control and wild. Varies from like.. obnoxious, which isn't particularly troublesome, to being an ice queen, all the way to deliberately reckless behavior and a nasty apathy for the rest of the world that borders on being antisocial.

Thankyou for the candidate! -clings and does a gleewriggle-

Oh geez that's a great image. I'd actually like to send 3 candidates (one from each agency) once I get the time. But finding the time shall be the challenging part *nailbite* Astra wants one, though. Or three.

-Glees!- I love astra candidates. :D

And if worse comes to worse, you've already stated your intentions to send me candies-- i'll mentally note you as "reserved" for one-or-two (whichever is best for you) spaces. if it comes down to it, and the deadline is approaching or the clutch closes sooner than i thought, and you cannot page them, you can just send me a quick character summary over PM or something, and that should take care of it while you get the page up-- all i need is the basest of information. :3 And even then, you can still submit the three, I'll just count it as one-or-two for the reserve. that sound good?

Repeat the following for each candidate-
Name: Ian.
Gender: Male.
Age: 18.
Race: Human.
URL: Soon? ;~;

Bond/Sponsor: Bond please.

Queen candidate? Sure, but if another dragon was interested in him, that's cool too.
Queen only candidate? --

-salutes- I can definately understand busy. I've been busy as hell, myself. X.x I'd extend the deadline, but then i fear it'd never get met, and i've got a helluva backlog waiting anyway. XP

If you need more time, there's always the extentionythingy option. -hugglegnaw-

Four days from now, this closes~ just to warn.
Next update is in two days, and there will be no more aftr that.

If you want to get into this but cannot get a page up in time-- that's fine. Post pertinent details of your character i'd need to know for a hatching. appearance, personality, name, age, gender, species, etc. personality the biggest-- just words is fine, so long as there's a lot of them and i can get an idea of who the character is.

late page submissions are good too; howevr, you only have till i release the hatchlings. if i get a candidate after they'r ereleased, even if it's a moment after, no deal. I will not be posting warning on that; it's whenever i get done.

so. yeah. :3 dealdine coming up.

Extras meaning extra people standing or dragons leftover? If it's candidates please say so and i'll wait for a 2nd one at a later clutch. I'm kinda still working on thinking one up, and I've already got one. If it's dragons, put me in for something quick and I'll whip up a candie.
