Find a Dragon

[center][b][u][color=indigo][size=6]Memorial Dragon Search[/size][/color][/u][/b][/center] My father passed away earlier this year, and I've been thinking about getting a memorial dragon for him, if I can find one that feels right. So I set up this thread as on ongoing search. Unless something catches my eye right away, this search may take some time/go a bit slowly. If there's a time limit on when you need a decision on your dragon by, [b]please let me know[/b] - otherwise I will be taking some time to think offers over. I'll keep a list of dragons under consideration at the end of this post. ETA May 14: I'm thinking now of maybe getting two dragons, one for each day, so I'll keep the thread up for a bit. I'm subscribed - no need to ping. Thanks, - angsthound [center][color=darkblue][size=4][b][u]Looking For[/u][/b][/size][/color][/center] [b]Required Date:[/b] I'm looking for a dragon hatched on either [u][b]January 16[/b] and/or [b]March 6[/b][/u]. The year doesn't matter so much. No specific requirements right now for breed, genes, etc. I've put some notes on my general likes below, but there's always a derg somewhere that manages to make the weirdest gene/color combos work - [b]so show me anything![/b] Male dragons slightly preferred, but please show me female dragons as well! I'm looking for a dragon that just [i]feels right[/i], in a sort of "I'll know if when I see it" kinda way, so I'll be looking at everything. [b]Please post a price, or at least an estimated price range.[/b] [center][color=teal][size=4][b][u]General Likes[/u][/b][/size][/color][/center] [center][i]Last update: May 12, 2018[/i][/center] [columns][u]Breeds[/u] [color=transparent]..............................[/color] Skydancer Guardian Spiral Tundra Coatl Mirror Imperial Fae [color=transparent].[/color] [color=transparent].[/color] [color=transparent].[/color] [color=transparent].[/color] [color=transparent].[/color] [color=transparent].[/color] [nextcol] [u]Primary Genes[/u] [color=transparent]...................................[/color] Cherub Clown Falcon Iridescent Metallic Petals (some) Pinstripe (some) Poison (some) Python Ripple Savannah Skink Tapir Vipera [nextcol] [u]Secondary Genes[/u] [color=transparent]...................................[/color] Alloy Bee Butterfly Current Morph Peregrine Safari Shimmer Spinner Striation Stripes Toxin (some) Trail (some) [color=transparent].[/color] [nextcol] [u]Tertiary Genes[/u] [color=transparent]...................................[/color] Capsule Filigree Gembond Glimmer Opal (some) Runes Scales (some) Smirch (some) Smoke Spines Stained Thylacine (some) Underbelly [color=transparent].[/color] [/columns] [b][u]Other Likes[/u][/b] Matching Eyes XXX (triples) XXY, XYY, and XYX color combos Bolder / deeper colors with a lighter tert Gembond on Skydancers and Coatls Thylacine on Spirals Two simple genes with a more complicated secondary or tertiary gene as the design focus - Suadela's Butterfly is an example of what I mean here (she'll get a tert that doesn't interfere with it): [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35947437] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/359475/35947437.png[/img] [/url] XYZ combos in the same range - for ex., three shades of red/orange, like on Sutekh here: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=19053207] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/190533/19053207.png[/img] [/url] XYX Crackle on Female Mirrors, so it frames the wings, like on Venomwarp here: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=19291678] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/192917/19291678.png[/img] [/url] ----- [b][u]Under Consideration[/u][/b] > [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=38824552]Llyr[/url] - NightAnubis, 250kt - very liked, tentative yes for Jan. 16 > [i]considering getting one dragon for each day, so hypothetical March 6 here[/i]

Hello! I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. It’s never an easy thing. :( As far as dragons go, I have this boy here. I can send him with a rename scroll. I’m looking for 250kt for him since he has art and is just generally very pretty. He’s a January 16 baby as well. :) Feel free to ping me if you’re interested! I’m sorry for your loss again. <3 [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=38824552] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/388246/38824552_350.png[/img] [/url]

@NightAnubis

Thanks very much for your kind reply. <3 It's not easy, no, but I'm managing ok. Having pretty dragons to distract myself with does help. :)

And oh yes, Llyr is very pretty! The skink/spinner/glimmer combo really works nicely on him. He fits as a Jan 16 derg very well. He has a good feel to him.

I am strongly tempted by him, and 250k sounds fair to me as a price. I'd like to sleep on it just to be sure, and I'll have to check my vault to be sure I can do 250k right now - but I really do like him quite a lot. I'll put him down as a tentative yes right now, if that works for you? I should know for sure in a day or so.

(Also, it's weirdly reassuring somehow that the very first dragon offered feels like a good fit already, if that makes sense. I held off on buying a March 6 dragon that was up for sale the other day and now that seems to have been the right choice! Llyr really does make me think of him. gah I must sound strange, lol.)

Sure thing! Let me know when you make a decision, and take your time, I can hold onto him for however long you may need. <3 Also, you don't sound strange! I have a picture of flowers that I found online, that I'm very partial to because it reminds me of a friend that passed. :)

@NightAnubis

Thanks - I will definitely let you know! Much appreciated.

I'm glad I didn't sound too weird there. ;) It's funny how random things can spark those associations like that. <3 Condolences on your friend's passing - I'm glad you found something that speaks to you there, though.

Still looking for a March 6th dragon, and other possible Jan 16ths.

@angsthound
oh jeez, I don't have a dragon with that date but I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your dad and if you want to talk let me know. It's hard losing family.
