The Ouvriax - Bonds announced, Finally!

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 1:44 pm

Yeah, so I've actually had these guys done for a little while now, but I was stuck on how exactly to give them away. That and the naming system, but I've almost got that.

Here is the general species info and example- http://www.geocities.com/tervenna/ouvriax

This giveaway will be a bit more like a clutch than a strict giveaway. I will need a character for them to bond to.

Requirements for candidates:
1 - These can be humanoid, but dragons are prefered for the moment. They will bond. With a possible one or two exceptions.
2 - I would prefer a story or an in-depth stat page.
3 - In regards to exceptions - there may be a few who choose to bond clutchmates rather than candidates. These may go to a sponsor candidate, if I feel the story/stats are appropriate, so I will accept a limited number of sponsors. Just don't be upset if they don't get something this time.
4 - Some of these will be hatchlings, some adults. If you have a preference, please say so. I haven't actually decided how many of each there will be, yet.
5 - Already bonded characters are fine, possibly even prefered. These dragons are used to living and bonding with several others.

The form -
User name:
Email:
Candidate name:
Gender:
Race/Species:
URL:
Preferences (Age, Gender, Sponsor/Bond):
Letter of the alphabet (Can repeat):

These will be given out partially randomly, and partially by personality. There is a limited number, though I may add a few, depending on how the candidates look XD.

Forms may be posted or PMed, it's up to you. I'll add a candidate list a bit later. This will be open for a few days, to give everyone a chance to see, and decide if they want to participate.

Unyko! I know I haven't gotten yours to you yet, but if you want you could fill out the form, and I'll do yours at the same time. Might help since I still can't decide!

Zomgcool! I love that template, and I love the background info possibly even more. Is it all right if we send more than one group to bond? Cause I have two groups of three bonded dragons I have in mind.
I'd go ahead and fill out the form now, except I'd like to try to write a story for them first.

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 3:18 pm

More than one group/application is fine. I don't know how much interest there will be XD, if I end up with a ton of candidates/groups, it might end up one per user, but we'll see. I can always color a few more.

Also, if there are any other questions feel free to ask. I probably forgot something somewhere!

:: is interested, is interested ;.; :: Trying to figure out who to send that I might be able to wrangle a bit of story for, or if not, who at least have detailed stats pages ^^'

Beca has a story but it doesn't apply to this... and I think that her stats page is pretty detailed. If you want anything else, just ask. ^ ^

-squeels happily- they are le cute!

And i like their background info. <3 Particularly their groupies. <3

To humanoids, would they be okay with multiple bondings, or would they be one dragon per bond?

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 4:38 pm

If it was a single, unbonded human, it would probably prefer multiple bonding. Since they haven't been around humanoids very long, they're not sure about the one-on-one bonding thing.

DNS · Post by **DNS** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 5:03 pm

ouu, that's a neat twist, actually. Hmm. I have a couple of those. Would they take well to sharing a human with another dragon, the other dragon being bonded before or after this one?
-looking through candidates to see who to use- I've got one i've got a couple i'm contemplating, i think, and your answer will decide it for me~

::wants to participate:: Agh!! Must scrape up another candidate! I love that template so much! *runs off*

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 5:13 pm

Requirement #5 answers that. Previously bonded are fine, and they would have no problems with bonding again later. Thus far they stick to groups of four, and all bonds are connected. So if one of the bonds gains another bond, it is automatically "linked" to the ouvriax as well.

Individuals may[/] be willing to try larger groups, and one or two may try single bonds, or even going solo, but it will be extremely rare, and probably temporary, in the case of going solo. They can and will bond at any age, the same as at hatching, if they find someone suitable.

oh wow, how did i miss that one? XP Rather glaring. I miss obvious things. Sorry, jess~

and mmk, then, I know exactly who to send you. -goes to get them- I'll edit this post with him, so check back in a few?

XP and expect someone else from me later if we can putin mor than one. I love how you coloured these guys.

edit-- i'll pm it to you.

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 6:17 pm

Oh! forgot to mention, thought about it while writing up the first post and forgot to add it. There are no stages; the adult versus hatchling is for story only. I don't have a hatchling image, so there's no worrying about missing stages XD

DNS · Post by **DNS** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 6:28 pm

-waves paws around- oh, you got me worried over nothing. XP ah well, that's cool.

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:16 am

You're gonna keep this open until tomorrow, right? I have a story 2/3 done, and my candidate all picked out, but I'll be gone all day today and won't have time to finish the story >.>

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 2:29 pm

Yeah, it'll probably be open a few more days at least. I'm hoping for a few more candidates before I close it, but I'll put up a deadline for applicants later. Not sure how long I want to wait before giving them out XD

DNS · Post by **DNS** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 2:34 pm

Whee, if pickup is later than friday, can i have an extention on paging whatever I get? and we can only get one, rightright?

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 2:38 pm

Yeah, my deadlines for paging are usually pretty lax, so no worries there. I might check after a while, but I'll put a warning out before that XD

You can submit more than one application, but there are no guarantees that they will all bond

DNS · Post by **DNS** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 2:41 pm

-nodnodyawn- i might toss you a better candidate, then, but only if i get the time. and yay~ ^^ -hugs- thankyouthankyou~ I'll try to get it up pretty quick, but if i'm all the way in cali at the time, it's doubtfull i'll be able to. X

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 4:14 pm

That's great! I did almost the same thing with my 'taur! But she's not actually been written into any stories yet!

And I think I'm going to have fun with these guys!

All the candidates look good so far. I'm hoping for a couple more before I close this, so I'll keep it open a bit longer

DNS · Post by **DNS** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 4:16 pm

I can send you another, if you like, but i've already pwned one of these pretties.

:O I've been eyeing these, but a story right now is not very likely. You can boot me for a storied candidate and I won't mind, but I thought I should try to get one in!

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 5:02 pm

Bump with candidate deadline! Lunchtime being when I get home from my welcome lunch at my new workplace. It starts at 12 Central time, and I'm guessing will last at least an hour. If you have any last minute candidates, start sending them in!

All current candidates have been paired with someone, but info is not quite done. If anyone wants to change a candidate, say so now XD

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:24 pm

Um, hey, I hate to bring up a dead topic, but is this ever going to get done? >.> I want to re-use the char I sent in, but I'd kind of wanted him to have gone here first o.o

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 3:29 pm

Shoot! I knew I was missing something! Sorry, got caught up in training and misplaced my list of who got what. Will have it out shortly, with or without story :/

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 3:32 pm

Kay ^^ Thanks. Sorry to be a bother XD

jess d · Post by **jess d** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 4:13 pm

And to avoid further procrastination and loss, I'll get this out now. I would have liked a bonding story, but I couldn't get past the opening lines. If you would like details of how things would have happened, for story purposes, PM me and I'll type up a bit. I had most of the actual bondings/pairings in my head, but they didn't want to come out in a decent manner :/

The Lists!

@Cacopheny - It's not a bother; I should have had this done a long time ago. Yours were a couple that I originally had bits for in a hatching story!

Also, if anyone has decided that this took too long, and no longer wants theirs, please let me know. I know several people have decided to limit their new dragons and such, so it's no problem, if they aren't wanted.

Ooh, they're awesome! I'm hoping you do some more of these someday, cause it's a really neat idea.
