Ryslen Gem/Birthstone Giveaway

Post by TyGryph »

Seeing as how I've already got some adorable (and not particularly populous in the Nexus) gemstone dragons, I really ought to put some up for grabs for this theme...

Lian Mini Dragons

Image

-- Lian Mini dragons are uniformly sized at 6 feet long, 4 feet at the shoulder, with a 12 foot wingspan. (I had to change this; hatchlings are the size of adult firelizards, so 2 feet from nose to tail tip.)
-- They are all descended from Truth and Death, two spirit-dragons hatched from The Multicolor Frenzy (Frenzy 3) at the Healing Den. Truth and Death's parents are Aerinhath (Tiny Gold; HD Frenzy 2) & Erachenth (Ryslen Light Bronze).
-- They are compatible with any Nexus creature of an appropriate size.
-- They can not be inbred.
-- Any one person can bond a maximum of six Lians, and still not be ineligible for a regular dragon bond. (* This last part doesn't much apply anymore, with the number of multiple bondings on the rise, but it was important at their inception.)



Image

Lians used to have a set color-gender pattern, but I can't find it. Males used to have -le endings and females -ya, but that's not required anymore. They won't choose -th names though.
The minis in this giveaway are at least Truth & Death's grandchildren, and have nothing but Lians in their lineage since them

Available gems: (in no particular order)

Peridot
Pearl
Sapphire
Ruby
Blue Topaz
Garnet
Pink Tourmaline
Amethyst
Citrine
Diamond
Emerald
Aquamarine

Image
The Form:

Name:
Number desired: (absolute max of six, please!)
Gems: ("random" is allowed.)

Shard -- yep, the October one is the pink tourmaline.

I'll get pickup links up for these in the next couple days, I'd do it now, but I'm having people over for sushi tonight (yes, I make sushi) and I need to finish cleaning up the kitchen.

Females: diamond, pearl, amethyst, peridot, blue topaz, pink tourmaline
Males: emerald, ruby, sapphire, garnet, citrine, aquamarine
(This information is old, and not necessarily accurate anymore. It's more of a guideline...)

Regarding sizes:
Mini dragons are supposed to be small, but 3 feet long/2 feet tall/6 foot wingspan seems... too small? I've always thought of the hatchlings being about the size of an adult firelizard (18-24 inches long)... however, if I made them 6 feet long, 4 feet at the shoulder, with a 12 foot wingspan... we've got "Full Sized" dragons that are 4 feet tall. So I'm confused and not content...

Please post links as soon as you have your Minis paged. I want to keep track of them.

Well, they were perfectly sized for my elf to ride, 4 feet seems pretty good at the shoulder, that's right about the same proportion as a horse is to a full sized human.

Can these be related to ones we've already got? As in, can I maybe breed them for the elves, since that's where most of mine already went?

Sure, they can be offspring of existing Lians, that's absolutely fine. Be sure to add their parentage to their stats for record keeping purposes.

Any of these can become clutchmates, just let me know who's (more closely) related to who...

A clarification please? When you say "cannot be inbred" does that mean you do not want close relatives to breed, or that effects of inbreeding don't matter? (since they ARE all descended from two sibling dragons lol with some few flurriers in between)

Shard--

In this case Cannot be inbred = no bad effects.

I'm sure color mutations will occur eventually -- non-birthstone gems, or glittery or... heck, I did those rainbowy ones at Ryslen. -- but not due to inbreeding.

Panserbjorn--

Hey, no problem. Just grab all the stages for your pair from the links above.

I do have several that had different color schemes, "purple-red-orange" and "red-orange-yellow" and such. Plus the flurry lian/crosses which are lian sized but glittery/glitzy.

For my final paging of the night, my Lians.

Pearl and pink tourmaline: http://dracosinfernoweyr.freehostia.com ... fpkou.html
Diamond: http://dracosinfernoweyr.freehostia.com ... fpnai.html

Do Lians have any abilities beyond telepathy that I should know? Also I used the geocities address to link to Ryslen, even though I know it's not there anymore. I haven't seen if you've posted a new link around here so forgive me if I'm blind and missed it. XD;
