I am fighting life and losing.
At this point I log on for the gijinka thread.

@#*!{~???~}!*#@

Moving through the *#@&$, each step, each movement, must be calculated. Otherwise.. Who knows where you could end up.

A &@*^$ in your path. A stumble. Then a fall. And... What? Are you going up? Or down??

The area around you seems to flicker as you fall, first you're in a dark canyon, smoke surrounding your vision. Next you're high in the sky, swirling colors all around you. Your vision turns between these two areas. You feel dizzy. The ground seems like it's falling out from beneath you.

Next thing you know you're face down on something soft. Pushing yourself up you take a look around.

Mist makes up the ground below you, beautiful colors spiraling throughout. Crystals float in the air, sparkling and bringing a sense of joy and strangely enough... security?

You turn around and...

"Oh..? Who could you be?"
...
"Interesting.. How did you end up here of all places?"
...
"You.. fell? From where? Did you hit your head on the way up?"
...
"Ah whatever, I suppose it can't be helped. My name is Ohalza, what's yours?"
...
"What a nice name. Feel free to spend as long as you like here. Although I do recommend you stay away from the Abyss ."

{~'Bout Me~}

'Ello! My name is Vailious/Anu :D I use She/Her pronouns by default but gender goes brrr sometimes.

I play DND as a more or less permanent DM and would love to chat with any players/other DMs! (Like, please, I have no one I can talk to about my plans for sessions since all of my friends are the players..)

I absolutely adore seeing my art in bios so if I draw one of your dragons in a forum game please feel free to put it into your dragons bio!

Dear mods/admins,
Okay, not sure the point of this but I see other people do it and I don't feel like risking it. I play FR at school and at home, both places have at least one friend/family member who also plays. I do not have multiple accounts.

((SEMI-ACTIVLEY BEING WORKED ON

The Equilibrium is a town on a large island far, far off the coast of the Arcanist's territory. It's well known to the dragons of the island to be open to anyone and everyone. Although it sadly can not stop passive-aggressive discrimination, all dragons with a lick of common sense know better than to start a fight there. No matter who it may be with.

This island is surrounded by the power of two crystal balls, one of smoke and one of mist. Although these crystals are separated now, they used to work together in harmony. ((Unfinished paragraph

In the area of sky above the island, the Mist Spirits reside in a place called the Aether, with clouds of -unsurprisingly enough - mist, making up the ground. They're known as the protectors of the island and practically any young hatchling will tell you that they want to be one when they grow up. However, unfortunately enough for their hopes and dreams, becoming a Mist Spirit is no easy feat and most hatchlings will find something else to do with their life aside from dedicating it to cultivating enough of a specific power (known as pure cultivation) to reach the Aether. Although not many do so, there are small groups of dragons on the island that have formed "sects" that solely dedicate themselves to protecting the island and one day becoming Mist Spirits. While some dragons live and die trying to get to the Ether, others are lucky enough to be born one. But this does not guarantee their position, dragons have been removed from the Ether for showing signs of corruption. Luckly, they are capable of purifying themselves and returning to the Aether. Considering their strong cultivation base, it usually takes them hardly anytime at all.

In another area of the island, a giant canyon cuts through the earth; the top shrouded in smoke. The spirits that reside in this abyss are what the island normally needs to be protected from; Smoke Spirits are a direct branch off of the Mist Spirits, but they have chosen a darker path to cultivate their power and use corrupted techniques that overpower any dragon other than Mist Spirits or other Smoke Spirits.
Like for Mist Spirits, there are dragons on the island who practice this corrupted cultivation, hoping to become a Smoke Spirit. These cultivators are more often than not cruel and angry, as their mind has been polluted. Those able to keep their wits about them and continue with their corrupt cultivation are the ones who manage to enter the Abyss and become Smoke Spirits. More often than not, the strongest Smoke Spirits are those who were born into it, having withstood the pollution since birth.

{~Lair Info~}

Okay! So, I made these sub-species thingies and now my whole lair is kinda of centered around said sub-species and their lore so that's a thing that happened. I'll make a forum post about them eventually and put a link here... Just not now. Because procrastination and I said so.

I like color matching my dragons to their familiars and do my best to do so. But sometimes I need to get affection points with a familiar that doesn't 100% match or the dragon's lore demands a familiar that looks nothing like them. The dragon's familiar that was dictated by the lore will be in their bio and the one with them is the one I'm getting affection points with or that just matches their colors.

In terms of how dragons in my lair are related, unless it’s mentioned in their bio that they are related, lore wise they have no relation. Even if they are technically siblings or mother/father.

I just realized I have a ton of dragons with the Thylacine gene and I find that funny. (6/4/23)
