Rules
Everything is based on what Pinkerton gives each day.

---

Food: Coliseum

Plants: 10-20 minimum matches
Insects: 20-30 min. matches
Seafood: 30-40 min. matches
Meat: 40-50 min. matches

The team will begin as the 3 original dragons: Sailfish, Axolotl and Rockfish (My only level 1's). Once more dragons have joined them, any can be used on the team. If a dragon dies in the coli, it is out of the Nuzlocke; to be exalted or sold.

I'm changing my rules to allow for more battles if I want, but with a mandatory minimum number for each drop.

Using health potions, fleeing from battle and ending the streak are allowed.

---

Materials and trinkets: Flex your creative muscles!

Materials: Do some writing for your nuzlocke. How does your new nuzlocke clan change and develop? What are your dragons like personality-wise? How do they get along? How do they die? Is there an antagonist in this nuzlocke, or are they merely struggling against the forces of nature? Write dragon bios! Make a blog, or a thread for your challenge in the creative forums! Write short stories or paragraphs, or add to one big one adventure!

Trinkets: Do some art for your nuzlocke! Digital or traditional, use whatever medium feels best for you. Draw deaths. Draw dragons. Draw humanized versions of your dragons (if that's your sort of thing). Draw familiars and dragons together. It doesn't have to be that good or elaborate. If you make a nuzlocke thread, post your art there. (I might commission art sometimes, depends on my mood and the time I have.)

---

Rare drops: Wildcards

Familiars: Buy a dragon in the auction house of a specific breed. Use a random number generator (between 1-13) to determine which breed you will get!

1. Fae 2. Guardian 3. Mirror 4. Pearlcatcher 5. Ridgeback

6. Tundra 7. Spiral 8. Imperial 9. Snapper

10. Wildclaw 11. Nocturne 12. Coatl 13. Skydancer

Apparel: Since I don't need to increase my dragon population faster than Pink gives me familiars, I am changing the Apparel from breeding my dragons to it being like a Wildcard where I can choose what to do for the Pinklocke. Mostly, coli, writing or art.

Battle items:
Flip a coin.
Heads = DEATH STREAK
Tails = Nothing happens

DEATH STREAK rules: Use a number generator to select 3 Nuzlocke dragons. Choose the Coliseum arena that matches the highest level dragon of the group. Without leaving the arena (even if a dragon levels), battle 10 matches consecutively. Leave the arena if a dragon dies, but enter the arena again to finish all remaining matches with surviving dragons and an optional 3rd number generated replacement dragon. Health Potions are allowed.

---

Since I will be needing inspiration, I will probably incorporate things my team gets as loot in the coli and found gathering into the story. Especially, if they find an unhatched egg.

As a newborn, he was dragon-knapped from the Coral Reef clan. He escaped, but he was still so young that he has no memory of what happened or even any idea that he has a family looking for him. He is very intelligent. Though, maybe not as intelligent as he thinks he is. He dreams of having grand adventures. He used to be found most days around the Mirrorlight Promenade, very often lost in a daydream. Has taken the lead in the group. This role has caused him to mature and to be more in the here and now.[/color] [/center][/columns] [center][color=#00008B][b]Has reached level 25[/b][/color][/center][/quote] [quote][columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=16491057] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/164911/16491057_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][center][color=#FF80BF][font=papyrus][size=7][b][u]Axolotl[/u][/b][/size][/font] Quiet and reserved. He hasn't revealed much about himself. Surprisingly gentle, despite his large size. Is now caring for a Wildwood owl found along the edge of the Tangled Wood. After having rain and leaves that glowed fall on him during a night on the edge of the Starwood Strand, Axolotl now has glowing marks on his wings and body.[/color][/center][/columns] [center][color=#FF80BF][b]Has reached level 25[/b][/color][/center][/quote] [quote][columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=16668441] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/166685/16668441_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][center][color=#3CB371][font=papyrus][size=7][b][u]Rockfish[/u][/b][/size][/font] Rockfish is high-energy and somewhat excitable. Once you get him talking, its difficult to get him to stop. He has taken the responsibility to care for the Spiral Nuvy and now also the Noc Fate. Rockfish has an affinity for rocks and has quite a collection.

The longnecks felt it would be better for her to be raised by dragonkind as Nocturnes imitate those around them. So, she was given to the Adventurers when the groups paths crossed in the Crystalspine Reaches. Spends much of her time imitating Nuvy. The two can be quite a clawful.

He has his own reasons for wanting to travel with the Adventurers, but has led them to believe their meeting was just happenstance. He has offered his services as a Guide for the Adventurers while they are in the Scarred Wasteland.

He has always been referred to as, simply, the Ridgeback. A wealthy Shadow dragon, is he a benign benefactor? or does he have more questionable motives? He set up a tent at the Mirrorlight Promenade in the Sunbeam Ruins and advertised for Adventurers. He was financing an expedition that would go all around Sornieth and hired Sailfish, Axolotl and Rockfish. He tasked the adventurers to pick up some trinkets for him from each of the realms.[/color] [/quote]

[center][font=papyrus][color=#00008B][size=7][b]Prologue[/b][/size][/color][/font][/center] [center][size=5]Wanted: Adventurers![/size][/center] The words caught the eye of Sailfish, a young Skydancer living in the Sunbeam Ruins. He considered himself an adventurer, even though he had never gone anywhere, except in his imagination. The sign was tacked up outside a tent among the merchants that had set up shop along the Mirrorlight Promenade. Sailfish didn't remember this particular tent being here before. Might as well check it out. He dreamed of going on a real adventure and this might be his opportunity. He ducked inside and was surprised to see it was empty except for a single Ridgeback dragon sitting near the back. The Ridgeback rose and gestured to the skydancer. [columns][img]http://i.imgur.com/YbcrTjE.png[/img][nextcol][i]"Welcome, welcome. Come in. Come in. You must be an adventurer. Of course, you are. I can tell just by looking at you."[/i][/columns] Sailfish was a little taken aback by the enthusiasm of the Ridgeback and by the number of sharp teeth that were showing in his wide smile. It reminded him of the Sunset Lashers that lived in the Waterway under the Hewn City. [columns][i]"Uh, Hi. I saw the sign out front for adventurers. What do you need adventurers for?"[/i][nextcol][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/166376/16637526p.png[/img][/columns] [columns][img]http://i.imgur.com/YbcrTjE.png[/img][nextcol][i]"To go on an adventure of course! I am willing to finance a journey that would take you through all the realms of Sornieth. I guarantee there will be excitement and wonders to behold. You will see things you never dreamed existed. There are only 3 spots available on the team and they are filling up fast. Do you want to sign on?"[/i][/columns] Sailfish was stunned. A journey through all the realms of Sornieth! He had only dreamed of being able to travel outside the Sunbeams Ruins. His heart was racing. He had to be included on that team. He didn't care that the Ridgeback seemed a little shady. Sailfish figured it was just because he was a Shadow dragon and they naturally seemed shady to Light dragons. [columns][i]"Yes. I really want to be on the team. What do I have to do?"[/i][nextcol][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/166376/16637526p.png[/img][/columns] [columns][img]http://i.imgur.com/YbcrTjE.png[/img][nextcol][i]"Well, you look strong enough. And you seem smart enough. Yep! You'll do fine. Will you be able to leave today? The sooner you leave, the sooner your adventures can begin. I've already hired 2 other dragons and they should be back shortly. Once they are here, we can go over the map."[/i][/columns] ----- [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=16491057][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/164911/16491057.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=16668441][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/166685/16668441.png[/img][/url][/center] After a short wait, an Imperial and a Wildclaw entered the tent. They were introduced to Sailfish as Axolotl and Rockfish. They were both rather reserved. Sailfish hoped they would all get along, since it looked like they would be traveling together for awhile. The Ridgeback had pulled a large map out of some hidden spot and was unrolling it on the floor. [columns][img]http://i.imgur.com/YbcrTjE.png[/img][nextcol][i]"So, this is where we are now [/i](pointing to the Mirrorlight Promenade in the Sunbeam Ruins) [i]and I want you to find your way to the Observatory in the Starfall Isles. There a dragon will meet you and give you further instructions. You can choose your own route to get there. I'll get you some provision pouches for your journey and some treasure so you can buy anything you might need along the way. Oh, and by-the-way, I need you to pick up something for me in each of the realms. Its just small little trinkets. Not worth anything, but they have sentimental value to me. I expect you to deliver them all safely to me when you return. You'll be directed to where to pick them up once you are in the area.[/i][/columns] ----- The three young adventurers asked a few questions about the journey and when they were satisfied, they followed the Ridgeback out into the sun to a neighboring tent to get their provision bags. Their adventure was about to begin!

Will the 3 young dragons survive the dangers around Sornieth? Will others join them along the way? And what is up with that Ridgeback? Is he just a generous benefactor or is he something more sinister? What are those "worthless" trinkets he is having the adventurers pick up? Are they actually worthless, or did he say that to keep them from asking too many questions? Join us as we follow their adventures around Sornieth and the answers will be revealed.[/color][/b][/size][/quote][/center]

[center][font=papyrus][color=#00008B][size=7][b]Day 1[/b][/size][/color][/font] [item=boneskitter] 20-30 coli matches[/center] ----- [columns] [img]http://i.imgur.com/YbcrTjE.png[/img][nextcol][i]"You boys should spend the rest of the day getting to know each other. I recommend you head over to the Training Grounds and do some practice battles. Traveling through Sornieth can be dangerous, so it would be wise to learn how to fight together before your life actually depends upon it."[/i][/columns] The 3 adventurers decided that sounded like a good idea, so they headed off to the Training Grounds for some practice battles. It was a little awkward at first. But, as they began to learn each others fighting styles, they quickly adapted and began to feel confident that they would be ready for whatever they might encounter in their adventures.
