Today I was looking at my account settings out of curiosity and noticed that I hit my 6th year on this site... 6 days ago, lol. So I thought I'd make a post about my 6 digit dragons, whom I've had since the beginning of my journey on Flight Rising. 
Might as well start with my avatar/signature dragon and resident eyeburner, Hihara! Like pretty much all of my dragons, he's a fan dragon of a favorite character of mine.
He was my first project when I began the game. I REALLY wanted a Male Spring/Sunshine Spiral with Fire eyes. This may seem trivial at the time, but back when the game had first started, it was a daunting task. Treasure was not as abundant back then, and nest lending was a new concept. I found two Guardians that were Spring/Sunshine and had them lay in a Fire nest (thank you, kind stranger who lent their space to me) and then had to scroll him into a Spiral after a long, long period of saving the Treasure to buy the scroll.
My lofty goal was then gene him with IriShim. That took a LONG TIME, since I don't buy Gems-- Although way back then, the exchange rate was as low as 100-250t:1g. After awhile... I honestly can't remember when, I gened him into Crys/Facet. Then I covered him in rainbows because I like him that way. He is and forever will be my avatar dragon. He's got some cute art on his info page!
(And what about his Tert, you ask? Well, back in the day, we had TWO terts, Circuit and Gembond, and gosh darn we were HAPPY about it, lol. Needless to say, Terts didn't mean nearly as much as they do now, so I didn't take it into account. Whatever. Maize isn't a terrible Tert to have, it's pretty neutral, maybe I'll incorporate it in him somehow.)
This is Armin, my Custom Progenitor. I made him without knowing poop about colors, and for a long time he was a really ugly duckling... There have been times where I've just covered him up in a skin because woof, there was nothing I could do about how unfortunate he was, lol. I've re-gened him countless times, but now I think I've finally managed to make him look presentable. Thank you, weird genes like Lionfish, Toxin and Peacock! XD
In an unbelievable moment of good fortune, my Random Progenitor Mikasa came out of the egg far more attractive than her forebear. She came to me as a natural XYX, which is absolutely crazy considering the odds, and with such compatible colors! Again, back in the day, Treasure was not as easy to come by, but eventually, I managed to scroll her into an SD (she was originally a Mirror) and give her her current genes. I haven't changed them in a very long time. Click through to look at her info, she has some excellent artwork.
This is Eren, another oldbie. 100% honesty, I have NO IDEA where I got him, just that it was a long time ago. I know he was already a WC when I bought him, but that's about it. I just wanted a WC that was brown/green in color, with Lightning eyes. Again, back then, Terts didn't mean a whole lot, so for a long time, I didn't incorporate it into his design. But once Lionfish and Spinner were a thing, I managed to make it look okay with Scales. Also, he has an interesting ID number: #869869!
Leaving the best for last: Levi! Because, in all honesty, I think he's the prettiest of my 6 digits. Again, as the pattern has been, I didn't give a flip about his Tert when I bought him because there were only two or three Terts back then anyways. Oh, and did I mention the Scrying Workshop hadn't been implemented yet either? Yeah, back in the day, we had to borrow Gene Scrolls from each other to see what the Dragon would look like with them! It was risky business and I'm glad we don't have to do that anymore XD
Anyways, when I first bought him, his name was Link (I'm sure you can see the resemblance). For a long time he was just Irishim, but once Butterfly came out, and I saw it incorporated an Aqua color, I Gembonded him too, and now he is what you see today! Very lovely, good boy. Check his info page for some excellent art.
HONORABLE MENTION:
Okay, so he's not a 6 digit, not even by a long shot, but he's still like, 5 and a half years old, okay? Cut him some slack!
Jean is honestly one of my absolute favs, mostly because of his colors, genes and apparel fit together so perfectly. I'm very proud of him and he deserves the spot on this list. Oh-- AND he's actually Hihara's grandson, from a friend whom I gave one of Hihara's kids to! And you should check out his info page for his art!
SO, what about you? How long have you been on FR? Who are your oldest dragons, and what have you done with them? I want to reconnect with other oldbies like myself! Let me know in the comments, and thanks for stopping by!
