Okay *claps hands together* so... I have a few dragons without lore. And by a few, I mean most of my lair. Because I love my dergs and because I want to spoil them, I'm asking you- yes you- to write some lore for my dragons!

"What's in this for me?" you ask; well, a headshot done by me. The quality of it will depend on the quality (AKA the length) of the lore you write. There will be three tiers:

TIER 1:100-400 words. This tier will get you a clean, shaded headshot with apparel and/ or some accents (Will depend on complexity. If I feel I cannot create a nice looking piece using said accent, I will say so. I do not want to offer low-quality or bad art.)

TIER 2: 500-900 words. This tier will get you a clean, lined and colored, headshot with apparel and/or accents (same rules apply as above). The piece will be flatcolored.

TIER 3: 1000+ words. This tier will get you a clean, lined and colored, complex headshot with apparel, skins or accents (same rules as tier 1 apply). The piece will be shaded in my style and will be more detailed than tier 2 (duh :p).

So on to the examples. [b]DISCLAIMER:[/b] I'm sure I won't have any problem with this, but I'm putting this out here just in case. As the quality increases with each tier, so will the time it takes to create each piece. My highest quality pieces (tier 3) take me around 7-11 hours to create just due to drying time with water color but also bc of the detail I add. Please be patient with me as I do have a life outside FR too. If you do start feeling a bit antsy however, feel free to PM me and ask what's up. I will do my best to keep in touch and keep each person updated. ANYWAYS, let's get to what you're here for: [b]TIER 1[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/X9Wlnv4.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/jlDjqNA.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/hZgJFj7.jpg[/img] [b]TIER 2[/b] will be something along these lines.

And now for the dragons. These will go by priority or how much i love- I mean... how eager I am to have lore for them.

He is quiet, but thinks highly of himself. Will not fight with anyone, but will for sure correct someone if they misjudge him. He is royal and regal and all that pertains to it. He is a bee keeper who makes specialty exotic honeys and jellies, which is why he's so rich and expensive, and then usually spends the money on more jewelry. Or he pampers his bees.

He likes to collect gems to hang on himself. Really likes natural body jewelry. I think he likes to play the flute and wants to befriend a fawn or satyr so they can play together.

He's very happy go lucky. The kind of dragon who likes to wake up when the air is still slightly chilly and have a good cup o' joe before climbing or hiking. Adventurous.

He is "second in charge" under Caesar. The system is loose and they all are equal with each other, the titles just come in to play for deciding daily chores and asking advice or deciding who to go to if something goofs around the lair. He has a big, full laugh and is very patient; especially with his hot-headed student Bathlazar. Has an extensive and always expanding library full of tomes and spellbooks as well as classic reads. Loves cats and reading. Does calligraphy in his spare time and makes illuminated manuscripts for other clans as well as his own.[/quote] [quote=Bathlazar] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42628245] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/426283/42628245_350.png[/img] [/url] (Reference Belgarius' quote above for info on my mages.) Has a snippet in his bio to work from. When he gets angry he will lash out at his fellow mages. Newest member of the group. Wants to make friends with Teryiele, but often hurts her feelings in his outbursts. Probably listens to rock music and smells like damp caves or whatever the shadow flight's territory smells like. Especially that black goop they love. Not very good at expressing his emotions.

One of the newest members of my mage group beaten only by Bathlazar, who she is trying to befriend. She has a barn owl who sticks by her side and passes messages back and forth between the mages of her clan and others. She studies herbal remedies and plant magic based around healing. Is very good friends with the resident plaguedoctor, Jayna. Most likely smells of aloe vera and Frankincense.[/quote] [quote=Kathidoran] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=40633121] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/406332/40633121_350.png[/img] [/url] (Reference Belgarius' quote above for info on my mages.) Came to the clan only days after Belgarius arrived. She is held in the same respect as him, but he claimed the title of "2nd in charge" first. Wears contacts but prefers her glasses more.

@MythicalMemeLord

I have some questions. First of all, how closely do you want your dragon lore to mimic Flight Rising lore? For example, should your Guardians have Charges or otherwise be on a Search? Do they all live within the Windswept Plateau? How do you feel about dragon sizes? I personally keep them to canon scale, but I know most people prefer to imagine all their dragons on a fairly similar scale, particularly Imperials and Guardians not being large enough to literally scoop up smaller dragons in their jaws. :P

@Klei Hi again friend :) The resemblance to FR lore would most likely depend on which dragon you were interested in writing lore for. Some stick more closely to their given breed traits than others. We all live in a yellow submarine the windswept, yes. I like to keep some of the extremeties when it comes to sizes although I do, as you stated, downsize my imps significantly. I like to imagine if i put a dragon of each breed into a house, imps would be no smaller than a large living room and no bigger than the actual house. Lol i know that's a weird scale but it helps me to visualize. For all other breeds though, they keep to lore standards as far as sizes go.

@SakuraAngel Ah thank you! And yes, that is correct. Ive never really asked for lore before, so idk if that's a good range for the tiers or not. I figured I'll try it out and if there are no takers, I'll lower the word count.
