Toss me a name for it and I'll update!

Everybody
The Friday update will be up in a few hours. Right now I'm just catching up with all of the posts that were made while I was away on vacation, and doing some reconciling of records for clarification.

To Myrror and Houka, if you've left a comment on LJ, you'll need to post a new answer for Kuro and Ryoushi, as both of 'em evolved so the Tier 0 questions don't apply to them anymore!

Egg Claim
Goin' down the waitin' list!
Image - Tiiyn

Answer the 'Level: Egg' question below to receive your egg. You have 24 hours from when this post goes up to claim your egg -- if you don't make it, your name will be put back on the top of the waiting list and the egg will be handed down to the next person.

Waiting List
-Tiiyn
-Keilin Alyr
-Rachael
K.Mythos

Now accepting people who have only 1 Didra Gon as well as those who have none!
*State your name, the number of Didra Gons you own (0 or 1) and I'll add you to the list... Newbies go first!

Level: Egg
Pick One Colour Listed Below:
Black
Blue
Brown
Green
Grey
Purple
Red
White
Yellow

Level: Tier 0
(If you have a baby Didra Gon, answer this question!)
How would you describe your Didra Gon's personality?
Intelligent and quick-witted
Empathetic
Passionate... Emotional
Logical
Stubborn, sometimes volatile

Level: Tier 1
So what does your Didra Gon think of its friends and acquaintances?
It would do anything for them
One or two are extremely close. The rest are okay... it supposes
They provide important opportunities for self-improvement, if you want to put it nicely

Good or Evil?
Now that everybody's beginning to level up, I think it's a good time to introduce some info about the next stage of Didra Gons... er, not Tier 2, but Tier 3!

Tier 3 Didra Gons are unique from those before them because not only do they have elemental evolutions, they have moral ones as well. Both are separate from one another, so a Fire Didra Gon can evolve into an Evil Fire Didra Gon without its element changing. A Good Air Didra Gon can evolve into a Good Air/Spirit Didra Gon without its morality changing. Moral shifts occur more frequently than elemental shifts (3 points to moral evolution vs. the 5 points to elemental evolution. At least, in the stage between Tier 2 and Tier 3!)

When your Didra Gon evolves from Tier 2 to 3 via a shift in its moral scale you will have a chance to augment it by choosing from a list of good or evil traits. This is only if your evolution is the first of its kind (all others that evolve into this stage before you will receive the same image!) and you may only choose one trait per evolution. Neutral Didra Gons aren't on that list. :P

I still need to make the Good and Evil list up. I would love your input here -- what traits (physical, accessories, etc.) would you associate with good and evil? Everything that you list for me will be added to the list... so the more, the merrier. Please, if your traits are ambiguous, explain why they seem good or evil to you. Angel wings and demon horns are a dead give-away, but I want to know why that plasma-beam-back-mounted-thingie is good, because otherwise it won't make the cut. Save the 'omg it's cool but it doesn't have any good/evil connotations!' for later... your greed for random glowies will be satiated at a later tier. XD

Noogie figures there are people worth his time and people who aren't- and he's incredibly loyal to the very few he deems worthy. However he won't put up with being hurt for too long if he believes they're abusing their relationship.

Tier 0: Chistery is rather emotional, perhaps even overly so. He always cries at during sad moments on TV shows, is easily overjoyed at small gifts, and can get uproariously pissed if Kiryu takes something he wants or pesters him too much, or if I say it's bedtime and he still wants to play.

He also seems to change emotions at the drop of a hat, from upset one moment to happily playing with his toys the next.

Tier 1: Kiryu doesn't really have many friends, he seems to be the lonerish type. He has much more fun playing alone with his imagination rather than having to include others in on the deal. But he has made one or two friends in his times traipsing across the wilderness of the backyard, and (once he comes to trust them) he would most certainly do anything for them if asked, but he will expect the same in return.

Mookey has to think about this one...
So what does your Didra Gon think of its friends and acquaintances?

It seems he likes to keep only a small number of very trusted companions around. He doesn't have many friends, really, mostly the cheetahs. But even they have their cliques, and he tends to avoid the very shy or the very aggressive ones. He wouldn't use his friends to his advantage nor be so gregarious that they're all his 'bestest friends' - he likes his small group.

Kiai's personality is definitely turning out to be Intelligent and quick-witted much to my surprise. I really expected him to be more stubborn and passionate, but he's definitely a thinker...and boy does he think fast!

Maki on the other hand really doesn't have any friends. He's deemed himself better than Kiai since he evolved and while he's moderately affectionate with me since I've been taking care of him, I really feel like if he didn't need me for food and the like he could really take me or leave me. I suppose in the long run we're all just important opportunities for self improvement for him. *mutters* Ungrateful wretch...

Chistery the BABY has evolved into a FARWIN!

No evolution for Kiryu yet. ^_^ Answer noted down though!

Shard
No evolution for Mookey today. Time to start building up those ticks again!

Xalia
No evolution for Kiai, but it's definitely great to get to know your baby better! :D Hooray for revelations!

XD Maki sounds like a bit of a jerk! Just a bit! No evolution but the tics are beginning to add up!

Everybody
I'm going through the questions supplied for the survey contest and will announce the results at some point later today on both LJ and the Nexus, so keep your eyes peeled. :) Soon you may have ticks to spend if you participated!

Taeresi is rather a bleeding heart that spreads himself too thin for his friends, leaving him tired at the end of every interaction. The little guy doesn't seem to know when it's too much. I've had to sit him down, and explain to him that he doesn't always have to do whatever his friends want him to, and that he doesn't always have to give into them. I'm hoping he doesn't end up with someone walking all over him to the point where he's hurt, and stops wanting to be friendly at all. Because I love his good heart, which seems to extend to more than just his friends, but to everyone.

I've got a little do-gooder... now I've just go to teach him to take care of himself in the process.

Calon would do anything for his friends. (Fortunately for me, the vast majority of them right now are plants... >.> )
If you catch me on AIM (thecrazytiger) please send me a quick note and remind me your name on there. It has been so long since I used that chat medium, I'm staring blankly at my list and not knowing who's actually there. >.<

To tell the truth, Nate prefers to be by himself all the time. He doesn't seem too impressed with his 'friends', and sometimes I've heard he can even be downright mean to them. *sigh* I suppose it'll be a good opportunity to talk to him about self-improvement and controlling his temper...

Drockh-Tallahn Castle: 3 eggs, 2 available. Females and males needed.

Of course! If you snag an egg off of LJ I'll just take you off of the list here (until the time that it comes to ask people who only have two... and so on. XD)

Realizing I am a rather large dork, would it be acceptable to call 'im RK, short for Road Kill? (This is, more-so than purely random, a science fiction reference to a book whose name doesn't currently occur to me.)

Tier 0

Sora seems to be really empathetic. I noticed that he's able to tell what emotions I'm feeling, and he responds either by mimicking the emotion or doing other things (like trying to nuzzle up against me comfortingly if I'm feeling depressed, or avoiding me outright if I'm angry at something). He understands the emotions of others too, but mine seem to have the greatest effect.

Ecto tends to find herself a little too emotionally attached to most people.. or even things.

X3 Noted, Mud!

Survey Contest Winners!
I haven't uploaded the survey questions yet (still working through them) but here's the low down on how many points each participants may spend:

Rachael: 3 tics
Houka: 2 tics
Kayla: 2 tics
Mud: 3 tics
Shard: 2 tics

You may each spend these tics whenever you like, in the nine elements as follows:

Air, Electric, Fauna, Fire, Flora, Metal, Rock, Spirt and/or Water.

Once your Didra Gon evolves, any tics spent will be erased along with the rest of them!

Question then:

Are the old tier element tics now reset to zero, or would Mookey still have some 'spare' on another type of element even though he's evolved once?
