[nextcol][size=5][color=7544a6][i]i. The identical siblings[/i][/size][/color]
Huiying and Qingjue came from a clan of Sandsurges in the Charged Barrens, thrown out for looking unlike the rest. [i]With [/i]that[i] coloration, you’ll never survive here, you can’t even blend into the sand! [/i]
The siblings were forced to be rogue sandsurge surface-dwellers, finding themselves lost in the Carrion Canyon. They roamed the uninhabitable ravine and learned to fend for themselves.
They learned to fend for themselves: the uninhabitable conditions were their main enemy, here. There were hardly other signs of life. However, one terrible morning, they wandered upon a rogue band of hostile dragons. Amid the skirmish, the siblings were separated, with Huiying carried away with the others.
For what felt like a lifetime, Qingjue wandered alone.

On the evening of the darkest night, thunder crackled throughout the region, bringing down turrets of rain cutting through his scales. Squinting his eyes, Qingjue thought he saw a dragon nearby swept up in the storm. He had thought it was Huiying at first, but he quickly realized the color patterns were very different. Still, he dove into the tempest to save the young dragon, mustering all his energy to leap far upwards. That was all he remembered.
When he awoke, they lay back in the familiar Charged Barrens, scales coated with charred dust. The other dragon lay unconscious, coughing up…sparks? [i]Wait…[/i], Qingjue soon realized he, too was surrounded by sizzling, crackling lightning bolts. In the heat of the storm, they had been blown too close to the Tempest Spire, getting struck by the stray energy as a result.
Soon, the two dragons grew close and roamed the desert together. They learned to live with their new attunement to the elemental magic, using it to their advantage especially against flighted dragons. Through raw experience alone, the pair learned to utilize their strong, muscled bodies to their advantage, weaving agily in battles despite their lack of flight.

Many years later, the pair stumbled upon Huiying at the outskirts of the Hewn City: she had escaped from the dragons and wandered inside the mysterious town, learning to live among other dragons. She had led a more peaceful lifestyle as a wandering art merchant, creating and peddling her wares; but she still retained her suspicious, wary nature: the Hewn City is full of mysteries, after all, and is far from being secure.
The siblings could hardly recognize each other: they started out so alike, but led such different lives, that it was hard for them to even understand each other now. But they love each other, and that’s enough.[/columns]

[center][size=7][color=a18627]Personality[/color][/size][/center]
Duneclaw’s tend to be brusque and straightforward due to their rogue lifestyle. They may appear rough around the edges and resort to violence easily, and it is hard for them to trust others. Once they do, however, they will do anything for their loved ones, even potentially at the expense of themselves.

Huiying and Qingjue came from a clan of Sandsurges in the Charged Barrens, thrown out for looking unlike the rest. With that coloration, you’ll never survive here, you can’t even blend into the sand!

[columns][size=5][color=7544a6][i]Arcane Variant[/i][/size][/color]
Most closely matching the founding pair’s twin, Huiying. These dragons are descended from Qingjue but have learned an alternative, less combative way of life like Huiying. More peaceful nature but can quickly become combative when needed. They are bards, wandering merchants, singers, and dancers, and more. Arcane Rogues have found a way to keep their inner peace while staying alive, although their personalities and actions may still seem uncivilized to some clan-raised dragons. They are more socially inclined and have friends between clans and lairs, although it is still hard for them to fully trust and let them in.
[i]Must be descended from Qingjue, but no registered legacy requirement. No generation numbers for this variant (as there are no suitable G0's!)[/i]

Downy Fox Rat
Familiar
Though some are kept as pets, downy fox rats are actually a problem for many lairs. They will nest in the walls and spoil a clan's stores.
0
Crumbling Relief
Trinkets
Illegible text is engraved across the surface of this broken tablet.
25
Longneck Interloper
Familiar
The Longneck clans are mainly indigenous to the mountains of Dragonhome. This one is a scout.
2500
Legacy Variant
These descendants come from a long line of warriors, starting with Qingjue. They've mastered the unique quick, agile fighting style Duneclaws are known for. They may live as rogue wanderers or settle into a lair, but they still retain their rough-around-the-edges personalities.
Note: Must be descended from a registered DC of the Legacy Variant. More information on how to register at the Registry post.
Legacy variant can overlap with Arcane/Stormstruck Variants!
Small Ribcage
Organics
The mostly-intact ribcage of a large rodent. Its light coloring indicates that the animal may have been quite dormant.
55
Sand
Minerals & Ores
Some dragons ingest sand to soothe upset stomach, others build castles with it.
15
Sickle Claws
Organics
It is regarded as unwise to harvest claws of a kamaitachi. These weasels travel in family units, and the survivors are known to hunt collectors down.
50
Hematite
Minerals & Ores
This material can be carved into lovely trinkets.
49
Intact Parchment
Dragonmade
Perfect for diaries, manifestos, and shopping lists.
15
Stormstruck Variant
These descendants most closely resemble the looks of their ancestors, and have inherited a stronger attunity to magic. Their unique color combination may make it harder to survive with traditional methods, just as Huiying and Qingjue struggled.
Must be descended from Qingjue but no requirements on registered lineage.
Arcane Variant
Most closely matching the founding pair’s twin, Huiying. These dragons are descended from Qingjue but have learned an alternative, less combative way of life like Huiying. More peaceful nature but can quickly become combative when needed. They are bards, wandering merchants, singers, and dancers, and more. Arcane Rogues have found a way to keep their inner peace while staying alive, although their personalities and actions may still seem uncivilized to some clan-raised dragons. They are more socially inclined and have friends between clans and lairs, although it is still hard for them to fully trust and let them in.
Must be descended from Qingjue, but no registered legacy requirement. No generation numbers for this variant (as there are no suitable G0's!)
Living in arcane-infused fields does strange things to Satin Mice. All that matters is they're magically delicious.

Haunted Stone Orb
Trinkets
When touched, wisps of smoke begin to swim beneath the surface of this dark stone, becoming more tangible the longer you hold it. (KS-sponsored by Nick B.)

Arcane/Stormstruck Variant: No leveling required! Just post in this thread to register, with the generation number and a link to your dragon.
G1s and (some) G2s will be automatically updated by me, otherwise please post in this thread!
Legacy Variant:
Can register them once they reach Level 20. Just post a link and their generation number!
If neither of their parents are registered, you can still register them at Level 25.
Don’t interbreed please, it makes the generation numbers hard to account for. Temporary promotion: First of each registered Legacy Generation: free adoptable bust of their Duneclaw from me!
