Tiny!flits: The Padiren
So I'm bored-(ish) and feeling terrible because of my allergies (I'd forgotten how many flowering trees there were here...) but because of the medication I take (benadryl) I can't focus on anything really complicated. Mostly because it zombifies me, so I keep drifting off at random moments to stare blankly into space. In fact, while writing these few lines, my attention has drifted at least three times.
On the other hand, I can't sleep, nor can I read anything more complex than a single, fairly linear post... so no reading a book.
Anyway. I had these bases done a couple days ago and found to my joy that I can actually focus on a relatively simple base (meaning no 3 billion layers or huge as, like, any of my standard unfinished templates for dragons.)
They're tiny. And I mean the flits, not last the base. The hatchling babies are about two inches tall, and 4 inches from nose to tailtip. The adults are no more than six inches tall, and 12 inches from nose to tailtip. They have cat-like intelligence levels, and no set personality. They can be trained to do a variety of things, including acting as eyes for the blind, as their "telepathy" is based in images, and with training they can learn to send a continuous visual stream to their partner. (People "seeing" like this will need to get used to the positioning of the flit's eyes, as well as the fact that they see in a much wider variety of colors, able to differentiate shades that humans can't, and also into both the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums.) The "telepathy" is limited to about 50 feet.
They bond only to the extent that a cat or dog might bond to an owner, and their very personalities mean that one may be as closely tied to a single person as a dragon to its rider, while another may be as wild as a feral cat.
They have tiny clutches of eggs, between 1 and 4 in a clutch. The eggs are barely an inch tall at the largest. The eggs are generally a pale to dark violet in color, with subtle swirls.
Standard colors are:
Red
Black
Brown
Gray
Yellow
Mutations that are Semi-common:
Violet (Red mutation)
White (albinism due to specific recessive genes attached to Black)
Orange (Brown mutation)
Blue (Gray mutation)
Amber (yellow mutation)
Mutations that are extremely rare:
"Amethyst Frost" (Violet mutation)
Silver (Partial albinism creates a silvery sheen)
Gold (Orange mutation)
"Cobalt Frost" (Blue mutation)
Copper (Amber mutation)
Another class of mutations that are also extremely rare:
Bi-color (One base color and one marking color)
Tri-color (One base color, two marking colors)
Patterning (One Base color, one color in distinct "patterns" or "designs" (mostly things like tattoo-like designs would be classified as Patterning))
Color Switch (wing color becomes body color, and body color becomes wing color: these flits are infertile)
It's common for the wings to be a different color from the body. along with the small crest down their necks. The only exception is Albino (white) which is pure white.
Wing color adds another set of colors and mutations:
Green
Red
Blue
Black
Less common:
Cyan (Green mutation)
Orange (Red mutation)
Violet (Blue mutation)
Gray (Black mutation)
Rare:
"Emerald Frost" (Cyan mutation)
Brass (Orange mutation)
"Amethyst Frost" (Violet mutation)
Silver (Gray mutation)
Very Rare:
Color Fade 2 (One color fades into a second)
Color Fade 3 (as CF2, but with 3 colors)
Here is the example flit. This is a Black, with Green wings.
Hatchling
Adult
So, if anyone wants one, put a request in here. All colors are legal at the moment, but please keep requests for the rare colors to a minimum. You can ask for as many as you'd like.

Would you like Color Fade, Patterning, Bi- or Tri- Color mutation? If so, describe briefly. If you could do black spots like cheetah that'd be perfect. it doesn't even have to be a lot of spots, but in black on yellow. Are their eyes colored the same as their crest/wings?
gaaaahcute!

'Epic' is most concisely defined as something that, were you to do it in view of a person in real life, they'd pretty much have to sleep with you immediately to maintain order in the universe.
I sneezed. It seems to have reshaped reality. My bad.

*coughs* Um...because that's when you finally know enough to be able to complete them?
I know it just seems evil from the students' point of view but there really is logic behind it! XD

Hehe remember that it all comes back to bite them in the butt. They (and their assistants if they have any) have to *read and grade* everything.

Actually, no. We still don't know nearly enough to do this assignment. That, and half the assignments we're being given are actually things we could have done weeks ago. The three papers? Completely unrelated to anything we've been doing these past couple of weeks -- they're things that we did weeks ago and are only now getting handed work for. Same with some of the other things we're doing.Xalia wrote:*coughs* Um...because that's when you finally know enough to be able to complete them?

It's more of a "Hey, right, end of semester.. here! We need grades, thus, have some fun homework!"
Anyway, I'm going to resume coloring tonight. I've got about seven done, I just need to upload them and post.
.. OH! Right! And in my infinite spare time (aka the time during my classes where I stare at my comp screen and feel like doing something) I've started to codify the Padiren's genetic structure. Of course, because of this I've hit on two little changes that need to be made to the random color-choices that I've type up. Nothing in this changes anything anyone has, so!
Switch White and Silver in the body colors, and while Black still does have a very high chance of being Albino in the White variant, sometimes it can be straight white (in which case the wing color won't be overlaid).
If anyone is interested in seeing the resulting genetic chart, I'll pop it up online. Otherwise, this is just going to remain a method for me to map out how a javascript clutch-randomizer should be created. I intend to run the Padiren as a side project, much like Kitsu and her Rukels, with clutches, matings, etc.
