Basic rules:
A death in the coliseum = that dragon must be exalted. This is the most essential rule of a nuzlocke. (Zoran is locked for the sake of story)
All loot obtained in the coliseum is irrelevant, as is the loot obtained from gathering.
There are no restrictions about applying apparel to your dragons. Do whatever makes sense to you. Same goes for familiars.
All nuzlocke activity corresponds with the loot you obtain daily from Pinkerton's plundered pile!
If a dragon reaches level 25 it "retires". It can join the ranks of your main lair.
Start with only two dragons and wait until you get lucky enough to get more!


Drops of Fate:

Food: Coliseum time!

Plants: 10-20 matches
Insects: 20-30 matches
Seafood: 30-40 matches
Meat: 40-50 matches

Choose from one of these two rules:

Hardmode: You must select coliseum challengers in your lair using a random number generator. Then, select the coliseum arena that corresponds to the highest level dragon of that group (For a 'medium' mode, select the venue that is one tier down from that of highest level dragon). If your dragons level up while in an area, you can still stay there for the whole day. You can quit your battle streak at any time to regen health, and flee from battles if it is appropriate. Don't try do 50 matches in a row unless you want a wiped-out dragon!

OR

Easymode: Choose whichever team and venue you want and go for it. Running from battles, using health pots, and ending the battle streak is fine, as I explained above.

Materials: Do some writing for your nuzlocke.

Trinkets: Do some art for your nuzlocke. (That's when I'll eventually make a banner for Zoran)

Tails = Nothing happens

DEATH STREAK rules: Randomly select three dragons using a random number generator. Fight in the coliseum using the "food" rules 10 rounds consecutively (ie. you cannot leave that arena), quitting midway if a dragon dies.

{This will only occur if all dragons fall and Zoran is the final dragon standing after he faints in a party}
1. Declare the challenge a "loss" and give up

3. Just buy another dragon from the AH without waiting for Pinkerton because you lack patience.

Day 1

Dark-Tufted Featherduster

I lost track of matches somewhere in the middle of this because of my brother so I just went until Zoran and Hexa reached lvl 5

I found a Sear while I was there but other than that, no rare drops.

(forgot how much I hate Woodland Path and I just can't wait until I get to the Scorched Forest *sarcasm*)

[center][font=Times New Roman][size=4][b]Day 2[/b] [item=Discipline] [font=Times New Roman][size=4]Of course I get a Battle Stone! And I had a Death Streak so Hexa and Zoran battled in the Woodland Path for ten rounds. Found a Natural Might Fragment and a new companion in a Bamboo Phytocat. Luckily they survived! I'm feeling inspired so here's a short little piece about them meeting their new friend. [emoji=glimmer tile size=1][emoji=gloom tile size=1][emoji=glimmer tile size=1] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]It was the crack of dawn and there was silence in the woods. Zoran and Hexa had been camping in the Woodland Path since yesterday as they had finished exploring the fields already. Feeling a bit tired from all the fighting they had been doing, Hexa especially wanted to get some rest. Unfortunately there is no rest for the weary and their small campsite was ambushed by some Coral Basilisks. Zoran appeared to be perfectly fine but Hexa was quickly getting worn down. The navigator wasn't used to doing so much non stop fighting and it showed as she let Zoran do most of the work. "It's okay Hexa, get some rest," Zoran chirped as the last of the basilisks retreated into the wood line. The tundra nodded and was about to lay down when a rustle came from a nearby bush. Back on high alert, Hexa decided to check out the noise. Carefully, she approached the bush but before she could check, a Bamboo Phytocat leaped out and tackled her to the ground. Startled, she tried to push the cat off but it was no use, it clung to her thick fur and refused to budge. After struggling for a bit Hexa realized the cat wasn't actually hurting her, in fact it was snuggling into her... purring!? She couldn't believe her ears at the sound and looked down at the strange cat on her belly. She couldn't help but laugh at the strange creature, "You sure like my pelt don't ya?" The only response she received was another loud purr. Looks like they just gained a new companion in this strange phytocat. At least one good thing came of being in these woods.
Day 2

Discipline

Of course I get a Battle Stone! And I had a Death Streak so Hexa and Zoran battled in the Woodland Path for ten rounds.

Found a Natural Might Fragment and a new companion in a Bamboo Phytocat. Luckily they survived!

I'm feeling inspired so here's a short little piece about them meeting their new friend.

I gave him his breed change to Pearlcatcher! Next will be Hexa's breed change but I'm not really too anxious to get it. What I really want is a Familiar so I can get a new dragon! I won't be buying one tho I recently found two eggs in the coli so I'll hatch one of those instead.

"I need to get stronger" he muttered, giving the tree one last strike before it crumbled into ash, "If only there was something I could do to get stronger more quickly..." As if on queue, when he said that a dragon dressed in white armor emerged from the charred wood line. He was stunned to say the least, he could tell this dragon was powerful and that he would be foolish to challenge it.

The dragon chuckled, "You don't recognize one from your own clan?" "N-nero!?" Zoran exclaimed in disbelief, "Is that you? Why are you all the way out here? I thought Hexa and I were the only party away from the clan." "Don't be so full of yourself young one," Nero scolded, "The strongest team in our clan is around as well. I have come to observe them as my former comrade is among them." Zoran paused and took that in before staring at Nero, "Why has Cybil sent out more dragons? Does she not trust my and Hexa's abilities?" "They are not here for you Zoran, they have come to search for loot for the clan. If anything they have priority over you and your party. After all they are the most respected dragons in Moonswrathe," Nero stated, "Besides, we all know you came here for your own selfish reasons. You merely wish to surpass all others in the clan." Zoran sighed, not really being able to say a thing against the older dragon. All he had said was true, as Zoran simply wanted to become the strongest in the clan and nothing else. Nero, noticing his silence let out a sigh before speaking again, "I suppose I can teach you my strongest attack, on one condition." "Yes! Anything!" Zoran exclaimed, his mood lifting immediately. "I need you to stay out of the way of Cresalia and her party, they won't stop their search simply because you two are out here." Nero explained. Zoran nodded, "Of course! Now please teach me the move, I simply cannot wait any longer." Nero let out a laugh, "Such impatience! Very well, let's begin." For the rest of the day until the sun slipped passed the trees, Zoran and Nero trained. By the end of the day Zoran was exhausted but he had finally mastered the move Nero was set to teach. Eliminate. [emoji=glimmer tile size=1][emoji=gloom tile size=1][emoji=glimmer tile size=1] Just a little story of how Zoran was taught Eliminate! I might include other dragons from my clan in other stories in the future but they won't be effecting too much of the story as this is mainly about Zoran and his party.
Day 5

Brilliant Feather Cluster

Got some material so I'm gonna do some writing for my babies! (Also in other news, I got an Eliminate as a drop while grinding yesterday and gave it to Zoran! Now I won't have to be so scared of the Scorched Forest lol)

Anywho, without further ado...

It was a bright sunny day in the Scorched Forest as Zoran scratched at a tree.

"I need to get stronger" he muttered, giving the tree one last strike before it crumbled into ash, "If only there was something I could do to get stronger more quickly..."

As if on queue, when he said that a dragon dressed in white armor emerged from the charred wood line. He was stunned to say the least, he could tell this dragon was powerful and that he would be foolish to challenge it.

"Who are you?" Zoran asked, cautiously taking a step back.

[center][font=Times New Roman][size=4][b]Day 6[/b] [item=Warbeast Tusk] [font=Times New Roman][size=4]Yet another day passed as Hexa and Zoran trudged through the Scorched Forest. Zoran could tell that Hexa was getting tired and they needed to rest, especially with that Bamboo Phytocat hitching a ride on Hexa's back. The tundra wasn't used to the new workload and it wore her down more quickly in turn. The cat stretched itself on her back and let out a low, "Mrrow" of content. "I don't know why you keep that useless thing," Zoran huffed as he watched the cat with distaste. Hexa narrowed her eyes at him, "He's not a useless thing! He's my new companion and his name is Hijnx. You're just jealous because you haven't found a familiar on our journey. Hijnx fell in love with me at first sight." "Whatever," Zoran replied, rolling his eyes behind his goggles, "I'll find one soon enough. Besides, that cat is just wearing you down. It has legs, why can't he walk?" "He's tired, his legs are shorter than ours and we have wings as well, he can't fly when we do." Hexa replied as though this was common knowledge. Sometimes Hexa really got on Zoran's nerves. Although she was his traveling companion, she acted like a know-it-all most of the time simply because she was the navigator. Zoran felt that she should be more grateful to him because he spent most of his time protecting her. "I suppose we can stop and make a camp... But that cat must pull his weight and help us catch some food and watch for enemies." Zoran stated, already in the process of looking for the best site to camp. Hexa nodded, "That's reasonable. While you find a campsite, I'll go gather some food." Zoran didn't reply so Hexa left on her own for food. If this type of atmosphere kept up, Zoran was sure he would strangle that stupid cat.
