[size=2][color=232735]I am not fancy at art—can't draw a lick in fact—but I do like to write and I really like to write biographies for dragons.

All but one of my biographies disappeared when there was that bug in FR's younger days, but I do still have one on [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=28601&tab=dragon&did=499763]Argo[/url] and [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=28601&tab=dragon&did=1193869]Rjinxil[/url] Behold:[/indent] [quote=Rjinxil][size=2]In a clan like the one found in the catacombs, it's exceptionally easy to overlook a demure creature like Rjinxil, insofar as any of the keepers there are demure. Perhaps it is just in comparison to their thaumaturge and his wild-eyed assistant that makes seems so, but more than that it is his validity. Where Argo surrounds himself with darkness, boiling pots and venomous, ill-tempered creatures, Rjinxil contrarily fears no sunlight and needs no props to accomplish his calling. When the spirits speak, he listens, and it is as simple as that—and when he speaks, at thing he does rarely among the cruel and raucous members of his new clan, people listen for truth. Unassuming as he is, it is no small wonder that Rjinxil is often called to action by spirits of dragons who have died in the Wandering Contagion before they could bring their eggs to hatching. He speaks and treads softly, reads of trust and honesty, and since his arrival the number of homeless whelps to be indoctrinated in the way of the Broodmother has increased exponentially, as have the clan's ruthless raids on clans still grieving for their lost ones. Because he remains so quiet, nobody is quite sure exactly why he stays with Hemlock and her clan, nor do they get answers when they ask. The general consensus these days is that if he truly disagreed with their methods or choices, he would simply wander away in the same exact fashion he wandered to them: without announcement or ceremony.[/size][/quote] [quote=Argo][size=2]Once a true follower of the Arcanist, nobody is quite sure what has caused Argo to stray so far from his patron god and into the addled, often incoherent existence he now lives. The easiest conclusion to explain his precarious state is that he has strayed too far away from traditional magics and has long been feeling the effects of this choice; following a similar logic, others suggest he has fallen victim to his own alchemical formulas gone wrong. The latter seems most likely, given his extreme photosensitivity and tendency to soak himself in any number of balms and tinctures to ease the pain of the inflamed scales covering his body. An unreliable storyteller at best, Argo is often confused and forgetful about things that do not directly interest him. This makes him a perfect candidate to unload your troubles upon, if a dragon can suffer him bustling about in the near darkness of his laboratory while they're speaking. The easiest way to get a message to him, should you actually want to commune with him, is to speak his assistant, Alcyone, although that method also has it's own flaws.[/quote] [quote=wodah's Kamui][size=2]Though Kamui will insist that he is persistently sleepy from a variety of activities nobody sees, the general consensus through the clan is that he is simply lazy and irresponsible. While this might seem an apt perception—after all, he rarely if ever stays through an entire clan meeting, and that is presupposing he remembers to show up at all—it is largely inaccurate. Kamui still does not find it an important enough detail to correct people on, either, so the rumors and misinterpretations continue. The fact is, Kamui is neither lazy nor irresponsible. He is simply working on a different wavelength than most of his peers, and his priorities have settled into different niches. Certainly Kamui sleeps well into the afternoon, but other dragons rarely take into account that he is up, puttering about the forest and stream beds looking for companions, feral beasts and tiny stream insects until long after the sun goes down. Yes, he misses meetings, but they dole out little praise upon him when his wanderings reveal an abandoned nest with a single egg remaining, likely the third and smallest that parents could not carry in their hasty departure. They might whisper about his odd appearance, the inconsistencies of his love of nature while wearing that wolf cape so many find tasteless, but they never ask about how he laid there with that wolf, as she died from injuries he did not see inflicted, and how he keeps her pelt to honor her, not degrade her memory. All of which leads to what should be a foregone conclusion: Kamui [i]cares[/i], he does, and intensely. He just doesn't care about what everyone else thinks is important. And if anyone bothered to ask, to [i]see[/i], they might learn a thing or two that he is not willing to offer unprompted.

What You Get

The standard for my bios is three to four fully-fleshed paragraphs, often including interactions with other dragons in that clan, and the entire bio will be a minimum of 300 words..

What You Don't Get
Fancy formatting. I am truly sorry. I don't really like coding anymore, so while I'm capable of this, I'd rather just direct you to some people I know are pretty good at it. Or, if you're in a pinch, this thread is a great resource for public-use templates!

Examples
By all accounts, my new Nuzlocke challenge is going to be the most recent and probably best account of my writing on this site, at least until I get my profiles all updated. All but one of my biographies disappeared when there was that bug in FR's younger days, but I do still have one on Argo and Rjinxil Behold:

@gunslinger Would you be interested in writing witty item descriptions for an upcoming virtual pet site? Skype: SagieMyster

I'm very interested in purchasing 2 breeding pair bios and another individual one, but I'm currently in the middle of some very annoying holiday planning and I won't be on much today; I'll come back and edit this post sometime later on with all the information for you, and then I'll send payment. ^^ Is that okay?

That'd be fine! I've just randomly been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, so I will be slower until I get treated (I'm having a friend type this) but I will get them done. OuO
