Adult Vekorans
These will be very similar to what I handed out in the original giveaway -- every now and again I'll post that a few adult Vekorans want to go out into the world and list basic stats such as colors, name, original Kyfria (clan), the Diety(s) they worship, and a basic personality. Just sign up, I'll write you down, and when the image is finished you'll get both the image, a name, and a bit of history on the Vekoran.
Kitlings
Rarely, a litter of Vekorans will be abandoned, either through the mother dying or just not being able to handle them in some way. (Intelligent as they are, some Vekoran females still reject their offspring for unknown reasons, just like animals and sometimes humans do. And Kyfrial (clans) can't always support extra mouths, so it's often either handing the kitlings off or killing them.) When these type of kitlings go up, you'll get a listing of colors (if they were abandoned after their colorations came in), child-personalities, and name. Sign up, I'll write you down, and when the image is done you'll get the child image. Since powers have very, very little to do with colors the way I've written them this time, you'll get a chance to influence what the kitling will be good at in adulthood, and what stones they find in their vision quest. In two to three weeks, I'll post the adult image.
Litters
At times, I'll post a "Breedings Open" comment, and will take two pairs and make bebbies from them. From there, things will run like the abandoned Kitlings, with sign ups, kitling images, the opportunity to influence the development of the kitling's strengths (though they'll be more predisposed towards what their parents were) and what stones they get during their vision quest.

<.< Knew I'd forgotten to mention something..
You can apply for one at a time, and not apply for another until I've completed and uploaded the first request, mostly to make it fair for everyone, since these are going to be relatively slow in coming out.
In general, this will mean about a week of cycle time, depending on how hectic the weekdays are, and what commitments I've made for the weekend.
As a note, though, my father is talking about making summer hours being 4 10s, so I'll have three day weekends all the time once we get into summer hours. Yay.

Mud tossed me a note about this and I almost missed it! XD Can I have Kanyokar Nelesrig? (Strike that! D: Birdie posted RIGHT before I did while I was looking up Pheidoh's page. :( )
Also, for breeding: Pheidoh?

StarFyre, do you have any records for these guys? Because I /think/ mine was male but that's about all I remember... >.< Would love to put him on a page and send him to you but I don't want to put him up with no info! 
Edit: I know his name too, fortunately I name my images with the character's name. Tayus Verius

Tayus Verius is indeed male -- his magic is... I'm pretty sure his earrings and the danglies on his collar are supposed to be Turquoise, which makes him an Air. I don't remember how his name translated in their language, though -- his last name, Verius, is probably something related to Truth in some manner, and his name, Tayus, probably had a lot to do with Gold.
So, for my own general sake (unless either of us can find or remember later) - Verius shall mean "Sky-Truth" ((bleh, I used to keep a list of the last names and meanings, but I apparently lost that when I lost everything else related to these guys.)) You can choose what his first name translates too - it's generally something related to a combination of things: their coloration, their personality, and the hope that their mother had for them when she named them.
Strength in Air magic of probably around 7 (as always, my numbers go from 1-10, with 10 being highest).
Coloration is.. Gold with Sandy tips, leg stripes, and dorsal stripe.
And apparently good at math =P Considering the abacus he's playing with. *laughs*
When I get all the deities finally written out, I'll let you choose his chosen deity for yourself, based on what you think would fit him best.
12 tails puts him in... oh geez this part would be easier if I had my map finished =P I'll get back to you on where his birth-territory would be.

Not an issue ^^
Lets see.. Officially, her coloration is Fire Red with Black and White Layered Socks and a White Underbelly. She does not appear to carry the full Tipping trait, as only the tips of her tails are white.
You have the powers and stone affinities, though from what I recall of the story I gave back then, the reason she doesn't have the stones on her in the image is because she rejects that practice for some reason (Potentially, she might have had a very, very difficult Vision Quest, and rejected the stones because of some potential thing that could happen if she kept them and practiced at full power in her society. Also, yes, it is unusual for one to have three affinities, that might have something to do with it as well. And evil is relative =P Because of her rejection of her stones, she's seen as a pariah, potentially evil, in most Vekoran society.)
Her original last name would be Kalavasiya - Brilliant-Star-Storm ("Star-Storm" refers to a meteor shower, but they don't have a word or concept for that). There is a chance, though that, in the process of becoming a rebel, she changed her last name (and thus created a new lineage) to something like Storrokae - Haunted-Heart -- or Elabezda - Black-Storm-Struck. (Up to you if she changed it, and up to you if you use either of those two names - if you want something different, toss me the concept you want and I'll toss you the last name.)
When I get all the deities done and online, you can look at them and choose from them. Of course, there's also the chance that she rejects the deities as well, as part and parcel of the system.
And when I get the map done, I'll tell you where she originated from =P
Also, there is another part of the system that I haven't really mentioned anywhere, except in partial response to your post in which I referred to their tail number pointing them at a lineage that's more related to legends and myths than real lineages. The concept is that each of the 20 different tail counts has one "Ancestor" that they look too - this ancestor has some story or another dedicated to them, about how they did something wonderful or overcame some obstacle of the race, or whatever. Whether or not she still looks to her Ancestor is up to you - the Ancestors aren't in any way related to the magic or deity system... in fact, all of them existed before the Vekorans were at such a peak of magical strength, and knew that gemstones could amplify their abilities. Most of the stories rely upon the Ancestor overcoming some obstacle with their physical skills, cunning, and instinct, with very small applications of their magic when appropriate, and unboosted by gemstones.
Eventually, I plan to have short versions of all 20 stories up online, just because the Ancestors are such an important part of their culture.

Xalia: Don't worry about your speed with getting him up =P I'm going to get the first four out first, before I open up another litter. With the way work is going, though, it shouldn't take more than a week, though =P (Mmm, techie work.. I've been sitting in a room and playing on my comp for three days now =P Though I am technically working right now because I'm running scans for my boss.)
Dray: Doncha love that random happenstance? Ah well... I need to get something worked out, because I don't have enough money in my account to pay the fee for my webhost, though by the time the account comes due, I'll have been paid out well over $1000, much more than the $60 that it takes.
I just can't get the money in my bank, because of the bank being 5 hours south, and because I don't have "appropriate checks" to include in my request for direct deposit.
This... royally stinks.

Let me know if I need to add any more info or if I've got something wrong...
But there he is! And if you want him for breeding go ahead and put him on your list...

Alright, I've got the first four drawn, now I just need to get home at an hour where I'm not collapsing into bed three minutes after walking in the door. I'll try to make that happen tonight, but no promises.
Hey, Dray, did you decide on a last name for Pheidoh? =P Vekorans have a habit of inheriting their last name from their mother's side.

Thought you all might be interested in this.
The three kitlings.
The adult.
Apologies for the large sizes, they're raw scans at the moment, haven't been altered in any way. For general reference, the kitlings will end up being about 2/3rds their current size in the end, and the adult will be maybe 3/4ths current size.

^^ I think I've improved a bit since the last time I drew these guys. Tomorrow is going to be a day dedicated to a couple of things: getting a handful of candidates detailed out (low priority) -- getting these guys outlined (high priority) -- learning XML and deciding if it's a viable replacement for JavaScript arrays in Generators (medium priority) -- and drawing up the next batch of Vekoran images (to do when I'm so bored/frustrated with the above that I want to throw my computer across the room >.> teehee.)
Drawing babies makes everything better ^_^

And Pheidoh only has 12 tails =P Two or three family lines commonly produce 20-tail offspring! Teehee. Drawing tails has never been an issue with me, because I always loved the multi-tailed-fox concept so doodled them on homework sometimes in school (which I rarely got back, sigh >.>) which was, honestly, the true start of the Vekorans.
Multi-tailed AND multi-headed? Dray, now you're just being sadistic. ^_^

Yes, yes you are hijacking my thread >.> .. course, I seem to be helping with this.
And... I would hate to try and draw the skeletal structure of a multi-tailed, multi-headed, multi-LIMBED fox/dragon. Is there even any BODY left in that? How about throwing multi-wings in as well? Not the pansy two-wings that draks have, but, y'know.. three, four, mebbe five pairs >.>
Skeletal nightmare, here I come!
