Biography

Lightback Slink
Mirabelle
She/her

The unofficial mascot of the library, Mirabelle is often seeing either begging patrons for affection or napping on a chair. Although a bit shy at first meeting, the quiet and calm nature of the library makes it easier for her to become comfortable with newcomers. Guests who come in on a schedule will often be surprised to find that the Slink will learn their routine and will end up waiting expectantly for them specifically.
Variant
She/her

Variant is a bit of a curious character to encounter. Despite being physically much older than the dragons around her, she is in fact not very old. This is because she is not a dragon, but instead a parasite- a creature that mimics dragons in order to infiltrate their nests and spread their own young. While these creatures are supposed to die after the process of egglaying, Variant instead chose to become her own experiment- to see how long a parasite can live if they never lay eggs.

None of this is known to any of her visitors, however. Instead she is simply the old librarian who, alongside Groomp, provides a cozy space for reading and relaxing. This is the guise she keeps as she counts each day in her notes, waiting for the end to finally come.

In the meantime, the library is open to all visitors.
  • Despite her birth Flight being Shadow, Variant identifies more with the scholars of the Light Flight

YOU HAVE OBTAINED THE PARASITE7A9gVkU.jpg
Something is... off... about the hatchling you've just found. It smells wrong, and something about the way it looks is setting off warning bells in your mind....

Welcome to the Parasite Introduction! This is a game to see how far the bloodlines of these dragons spread through breeding a single nest and then being exalted. This dragon may look like a perfectly normal dragon of its kind, but it is, in fact, not a dragon at all. It is a parasitic creature that enters dragon eggs and replaces the dragon within. The parasite takes the form of the hatchling and hatches in its place. It will then flee the nest (via being sold) and find a new nest where it will attempt to breed with a dragon and start the cycle again. After breeding, the parent parasite dies (via exalting), and a single hatchling becomes a new parasite.

LORE

The First line of parasites can be found far and wide on Sornieth. Unusually blessed with large nests and hardy hatchlings, this lineage spread quicker than the other two remaining lines. This proved to be the lineage's downfall. Being so large, each generation diluted the bloodline further and further, and eventually the bountiful nests turned sickly, and only one hatchling per nest became a parasite. Observers theorize this is nature's way of curbing the previously uncontrollable expansion of the parasite dragons, and they theorize that the other lines may also develop mutations to control their spread. Now on their last legs of survival the parasite has invaded all the hatchlings of the first nest of the parasite parent. Theories have surfaced that this might be the raging storm before the final end of the parasites...

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

Once you have this dragon, you must breed it with another dragon in your lair. After its offspring are hatched, you'll copy all of the text in the parent parasite's description into ONLY ONE of the hatchlings' bios/descriptions. This rule only applies if you are keeping the hatchling to continue the parasite line. If there are others interested in your parasite siblings, more parasites may be added to the single hatchling in order to continue the lineage.

Then you'll exalt the parent parasite (this doesn't include the other dragon you bred it with as they are not part of the game). The parasite offspring must then be sold so the cycle can continue. Once you have hatched the nest, or sold the parasite, please post HERE so we can keep track of where the parasite is spreading. It is also a way for other players to obtain more parasites.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE. Participating in this game requires the parent parasite being exalted. If you do not wish to participate, please send a message to @Niathria and remove the bio from the dragon. The dragon will be logged as unsuccessful and will be removed from the game. Its hatchlings will not be able to participate either.

RULES
  • Parasites must be bred immediately and then must be exalted once their nest has hatched. The hatched parasite must be spread to others through trades or the AH as soon as possible. The only way out of this is if the dragon is being used in a breeding project. After the desired hatchling is hatched, you must exalt the parent and the rest of the hatchlings.
  • The parasite must have the parasite information found in their bio/description.
  • Please do not breed parasites with other parasites.
  • Any parasite that is not exalted after breeding is considered exalted. Any offspring after the first nest are to be ignored by the game. No ifs, ands, or buts.
