Yup. That makes sense. :)
I get worried about things pretty easily, heh, and it's a character I've written no more than snippets in-character with before. So I'm glad that everything looks okay. (Already this is looking to be a useful experience in terms of nudging me into developing Coccus more.)

@N0B0DY hey, if you could maybe don't put so many paragraphs in the prize section and have the prizes distributed in lines, to make the post a bit shorter, that'd make navigation a lot easier, specially for cellphone players!

Enjolras is- or rather, [i]was[/i] one of three leaders of the revolutionary group named Les Amis. They met at quite the young age, and became quick friends. However, Enjolras has always harbored a distaste for injustie and corruption, and decided to dedicate his life to fight it. They rallied against a corrupt monarchy, knowing for certain that the People would rise to fight the corrupt king with them, but alas, the People did not come; they still lived in fear of what the system could do, had done, to them.
Most of Les Amis were killed in the uprising. Enjolras himself was badly injured, but was rescued by Grantaire, the one member of the group who did not believe in their cause. Grantaire nursed him back to health and confessed how they felt for the red leader; they are now mated, and have taken to fighting opression across the land, together despite Grantaire's inherent pessimism.
Enjolras decided to join in the Worship to honor the memory of all the friends he lost, who sacrificed themselves for a better world and a better future. He knows their souls have ascended to rest with their Deity, and he knows they watch over him, waiting until the battle is over and he can join them. Still, he misses his friends greatly, and hopefully this will give him the closure he feels is missing.
STRENGHTS:
Smart
Experienced
Brave
Charismatic
Persuasive
WEAKNESSES:
Reckless
Hot-Headed
Poor Sense of Direction
Tactless
(considering Enjolras is a fandragon, and considering what I know of the character, I'd also add that he has trouble when it comes to interpersonal relationships; making friends and taking in account personal feelings can be hard for him, because he's a very passionate and political person and has dedicated his entire life to his cause. Give him a crowd to preach to and he'll excell at that, but don't leave him to make small talk with a stranger, or worse, talk about feelings, his or someone else's)

I took a look at your BBCode how-to and I thought I'd remark that if anyone wants to post an image of their dragon that acts as a link to their page, you can click the 'generate code' button on the dragon's page and copy the BBCode that is shown.
Just as an alternative way to get the same result. (I remember Akiri was happy to hear it was getting used, once upon a beta. ^^ )

[center][b]Osiris, the Cleric[/b][/center]
Osiris is unusual for an Arcane dragon. Unlike many in his clan, his magic works to bring balance to the world around him, to correct and heal the chaos caused by the other members of Clan Twinstar. No one, not even he, is quite sure why he has this power, though it has saved the day on more than one occasion.
Now, Osiris is preparing for what may be his most dangerous mission yet. He has long been worried about the great Imperial, Leon, Clan Twinstar's alchemist. The mighty Plague dragon has long been a source of trouble for the clan, despite how much help his potions and brews have been.
Despite having lived with Clan Twinstar for many, many years now, it is clear Leon is still loyal to the Plaguebringer. It was he who invited six of her Mirror dragons to infect Clan Twinstar when the Shade Plague threatened all of Sornieth long ago. Osiris wasn't even born when that happened, but he has heard the stories. While most of the clan has tried to forget that incident, some dragons whisper that the ambitious Imperial has grander plans in mind. Some even worry that with the aid of his apprentice, Nebula, he even intends to take control of the clan for himself!
To protect against this, Osiris knows that he must learn all that he can about the Plague Flight. And to do that, he must embark on a journey deep into the Scarred Wasteland, all the way to the Wyrmwound itself. Few in the clan have ever gone so deep into Plague territory, aside from Leon and Nebula, so Osiris has no idea what to expect. All he knows for sure is that those who do embark on such a pilgrimage don't always return as the same dragon that they left...
Being a Cleric, Osiris is a very [b]Patient[/b] and [b]Wise[/b] dragon, having spent many a day studying ancient tomes of magic and history. However, he is fairly [b]Shy[/b], and tends to keep to himself most of the time. In addition, he has a somewhat [b]Poor Sense of Direction[/b]. He rarely leaves the Clan's stronghold, and so he isn't the best at finding his way around.

Hatched to a lair that reveres the Plaguemother, Runa always knew that she was destined to be exalted to the diety's side, like so many of her siblings before her. The thought of living her life serving Plaguemother in the Wyrmwound both excited and scared her.

Making up what she lacks for in experience, Runa is also very determined. Because she was taught that being exalted is a great honor, she faces her future with [b]bravery[/b] and a level-headed [b]patience[/b]. Additionally, she was one of few exaltees from her clan that were selected to be an Exalted, a guide for outsiders and meant to lead them through the celebration of the Eve of the Exalted before joining Plaguemother.

Gabriel doesn't understand how he ended up being the dragon to take a pilgrimage to plague for the Riot of Rot. He certainly never wanted to be back here, but his closest friends poked and prodded him to give his birth flight another chance. Begrudgingly, he heeded [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=277873&tab=dragon&did=35722994]Jess'[/url] and [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=277873&tab=dragon&did=35548185]Saffron's[/url] words and decided to take the trip, but not without enough salt to dry up a Blue Dragon Snail. Gabriel tends to be blunt and contemptuous when angered, with friends and others alike, but has a rather cool and analytical head in most circumstances, though he can come off as haughty to those who don't know him. Due to his lack of tact, Gabriel is generally found reading or fighting in the coliseum, both activities ones that involve minimal interaction of substance between him and other dragons. Though he doesn't give himself much thought in this regard, he is hailed as a genius among his clanmates. He doesn't know what to take of this, instead focusing on upping his skills and pursuing his interests. As a part of a coliseum team, he has gotten strong from battling, as well as gained intimate knowledge of the plants and animals. However, as a large dragon he is rather slow, though he circumvents this by using his whole body as a weapon; any dragon who tries to use their speed to their advantage and avoid his claws will be in for a shock when they realize he can utilize his whole body as a weapon, those wicked spines all over him creating new levels of 'ouch' for opponents. His constant travels as part of a coliseum team haven't patched up his botched sense of direction, though, so he still suffers the indignity of being constantly lost, and as a dragon who generally knows what others do not, it is a pain to not know here he is. He tends to suffer through disorientation silently until either someone decides to take pity on this directionally-challenged dragon or he finds a map. Maps are a godsend in Gabriel's life, and in an act of self-awareness he tends to bring one [s]or a couple[/s] with him wherever he goes.
(A summary: Gabriel is smart, strong, resourceful with his knowledge, and has a sizable knowledge of plants and animals. On the downside, he's slow, tactless, and has a penchant for getting lost, as well as being an overall reserved dragon. Reserved is almost synonymous with shy, but Gabriel's lack of interest when it comes to interacting with other dragons has less to do with shyness and more to do with his aloof nature.)
[also, as a note, if you want me to clip this/take some of his traits out, please ping me if you think I'm godmodding here. If i am, it is purely accidental and I apologize profusely]

@Stanzascale Glad that made sense! And don't worry about needing to write a novel for each step of the process; a couple of sentences is genuinely sufficient to get full points for each step. Role playing is encouraged, but there is no expectation that people spend a ton of time on this game unless they really enjoy role play independently! I'm glad to inspire you to build this character, but this should be a very relaxed event in terms of what I expect :) Always happy to offer clarification or feedback just the same, if you have further concerns!

[b]Mahere[/b]
(m[i]u[/i] he re)
An adventurer and mapmaker. She often works with two other dragons, but sometimes he strikes out on her own, like now, where she's decided to work on her maps of the Scarred Wasteland, as well as learn more about the dragons there. This is less of a pilgrimage for Mahere and more of a scientific expedition, part mapping and part anthropology (dracopology?), but as long as she's respectful, she figures it'll probably be fine. She's brought enough food to hopefully last, as well as her familiar, a Duskthicket Bonepicker, with her, who will probably enjoy the trip given the likelihood of finding bones lying around.
