We start with a wistful beach landscape shot, the sunlight is soft and the sky pastel, maybe it's around dawn. That's hopeful, right? The camera pulls back to reveal a lone skydancer male looking out at the wavecrests, watching the horizon, a pensive yet determined look on his bird-like features. His scarf moves with the breeze. [center]Sozen: (Voiceover) My father is an intimidating man. A strong warrior, the head of security for our clan. He trains the others with his second-in-command, Zula. They run a tight ship, and accept no error. He is a strong man, with a strong heart who loves fiercely and will protect those he loves at all costs. I hope to grow and be half the man he is, then I will have proved myself --[/center] [i]*record scratch*[/i] Romantic theme music begins to play, and the obsidian skydancer looks around, confused. [center]Sozen: What?[/center] A brightly coloured young male coatl comes skittering up the beach, his pink feathery frills excitedly upright, his lightning eyes sparkling. [center]Rubix: Hello, and welcome to the beginning of your heroes' journey![/center] Rubix turns to look at an invisible camera-crew. [center]Rubix: This is Sozen, son of Viking, heir to a vast fortune and family legacy. But moreover, he is lonely of heart and looking for love! Sozen: What. Rubix: Join us each week as we introduce him to lovely dragonladies - and men, [i]who are we to judge[/i] - as he goes on his quest to find his one true soulmate! Sozen: That's not what I meant -- Rubix: There will be drama and adventure, romance and upheaval, as prospective bachelorettes vie for the affections of this handsome skydancer! But only one will win his heart! Tune in tomorrow for the beginning of this heroes' journey to find love! Sozen: ....[/center] [rule] ... Sozen thinks he's on a heroes journey, but it's really a journey to his heart >> Lead by your host, Rubix.

[font=consolas][size=4][b]RULES[/b][/size] Original rules: [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1904162/1]Pinkerton’s Plundered Nuzlocke v3.0[/url] modifications inspired by [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2439159/1]Treasured Knowledge[/url], by Chloecat194; [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2405107]The Lover’s Curse[/url], by Ranmaru; [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2435276]Beneath[/url], by Thesfireflies; [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2466932]Bride of Elysium[/url], by Epioth[/font] Basic rules: A death in the coliseum = [s]that dragon must be exalted[/s] see below. [s]All loot obtained in the coliseum is irrelevant, as is the loot obtained from gathering.[/s] Loot obtained in the coli may become part of the show. There are no restrictions about applying apparel to your dragons. Do whatever makes sense to you. Same goes for familiars. And, most crucially, all nuzlocke activity corresponds with the loot you obtain daily from Pinkerton's plundered pile! Additional rules: The show begins with 4 contestants: Sozen, and 3 ladies. All contestants begin with 2 hearts. Dragons with [b]Butterfly[/b] begin with 3. There is no maximum number of hearts. Add or subtract loss based on battle performance. Upon survival dragons gain a heart. -If a dragon faints, it loses [i]three hearts[/i]. If a dragon loses all of its hearts, it is eliminated from the game show. -If Sozen faints, he cannot be eliminated, so another dragon will be immediately eliminated in his place. [Mechanics for that are found below] For battles, the post vista will always correspond with which coli venue the contestants are fighting in. For writing or art, it'll be what fits with the setting. --------------------------------------------- [center][b]Drops of Fate:[/b][/center] Food: Coliseum time! [indent][indent]Plants: 1-10 matches Insects: 10-20 matches Seafood: 20-30 matches Meat: 30-40 matches[/indent][/indent] [s]Medium[/s] [b]HARD[/b] Mode: Team is selected by RNG if there are more than 3 to choose from. Coliseum level is the same as the highest level dragon. Whichever venue they start in, they stay in for that day regardless of levels gained. Ending battle streak, fleeing battle and using potions is fine, refreshing the coli is not. Materials / Trinkets: Writing or art ~ art will most likely be colouring in pre-made free dragon bases, because I have no skill to actually draw anything >> Art may also be adoptables for our contestants that i've commissioned, and am showing off (with credit)! Familiars: Buy a [fodder-priced adult] dragon in the auction house of a specific breed. Must be in the top/first 10 shown. Use a random number generator (between 1-14) to determine which breed you will get! (Optionally: attach the familiar to the new dragon.)

Choose a lucky single dragon already existing in my lair!~ [i]Must be the same level as Sozen or lower.[/i] Battle stones: DEATH STREAK = RNG a coli team and play 10 consecutive rounds OR until a dragon faints [and therefore is evicted]. Potions are OK, retreat is not! ---------------------------------------------- [b]Goodies!:[/b] Our Contestants will each have at least one favored item that they carry with them at all times. Whether it be for sentimental purposes or just something they find as really neat, they'll have at least one on them. [b]Corsage ceremony:[/b] All the contestants vying for Sozen's heart will be wearing a [item=violet corsage] [b]Winning:[/b] Much like the Bachelor/ette shows, Big Brother, and other similar elimination shows, there can only be one winner! Whoever outsmarts and outlasts [by performing best in the coliseum], will go on to win the heart of Sozen! [b]NEW! Season 2:[/b] As we approach the end of this season, viewers will be able to vote for who they'd like the next Bachelor/ette to be! Options will be from the evicted contestants [b]still in my lair[/b] ~ fan favourites are welcome to be nominated a comeback! * [i](For a 'medium' mode, select the venue that is one tier down from that of highest level dragon)[/i] - [size=2]Note: I won’t be exalting my permas, as they’re mostly pairs for my hatchery or part of my lineage project/s, but they may be exalted if I change the pair out, and will be reflected in the story. ** In the Foxfire Fortune clan, exaltation is not seen as death, per se - it is more akin to Aztec sacrifice to one's deity, moving on from this realm to serve Them. Pearlcatchers are able to speak directly with the Exalted. *** I might donate a dragon to your nuzlocke/Pinkerlocke if you call dibs. [b]I am subscribed; no need to ping.[/b][/size]

Wallowing at the mess he's found himself in, apparently. The camera cuts to the french doors which burst open, and an excitable pastel-coloured tundra bounds in. She has sparkles in her eyes. So many sparkles. [center]Kaz: Oh, you must be Sozen! Rubix sent us here to come talk to you, he said you were waiting for us? This is so exciting, you're so much more handsome than Rubix described-- Sozen: What. Kaz: I mean, Rubix said we should talk to you and give you a chance to get to know us, make a good impression, all that jazz. It's very important to develop an attraction based on intellectual pursuits, don't you think? You can't just stare at a pretty face for the rest of your life. Sozen: [i]We?[/i] Kaz: What? Sozen: You said [i]'we'[/i], but I see only you. Kaz: You only have eyes for me? Oh that's sweet! But where is Phasma, she was right behind me. Phasma (voice): I'm here.[/center] A striking red and pink pearlcatcher seems to appear without warning or flourish. She wears a cape and a scowl. Stripes around her eyes give her a menacing appearance. Sozen is immediately intrigued, and sits up straighter. [center]Sozen: Hi. I mean, would you care to join me? Kaz: I was waiting for you to ask![/center] The boisterous tundra bounds into a seat closest to our hero, and gazes at him with her very sparkly eyes. Phasma is slower, more methodical, calculated. She sets her pearl down beside her. [center]Phasma: Would you order us some coffee? Sozen: What? Oh yes of course.[/center] He signals to a waiter. The camera cuts to the waiter looking flustered and nearly walking into the wall. Back to our table the view returns. [center]Sozen: Uh. So tell me about yourselves? Kaz: Oh, well, I have one brother; his name is Xavier, he's such a stick in the mud. He claims he can hear dragons thoughts? isn't that weird? But enough about him, I just want to make others' happy. To remind them that there is always something better coming over the horizon when times are difficult. There's no sense to dwell on what we can't change right now. Sozen: I see. That's nice.[/center] His attention wanders to Phasma. [center]Sozen: You look like you have a story to tell. Phasma: Not particularly. I am here to serve you, should you select me. I will protect you. Sozen: ... Huh.[/center] The skydancer heir is perplexed, but Phasma is in no mood to continue or elaborate. Coffee arrives. The camera pans away, and the romantic theme music swells. [rule] [center][font=monospace]Next time on ... the Bachelor!~[/font] [item=Bluefin Charger Fin][/center] In coli battle news, Sozen was given scratch and shred, and Phasma was given sap (because that totally seems like an ability made for her). All three are leveled up to 4. [size=2]Pinglist @MitraSunshine @Chloecat194 @Demonchild77 @Ranmaru @Epioth @Wolfandcrow[/size]
