...Wow, okay, that was a dragonload of stuff. If you've read this far, congratulations!
This is all sort of an experiment, as I'm not sure how balanced and playable these actually are, especially the breed-specific challenges, which I came up with myself and (so far) are mostly unique to this Nuzlocke. I wanted to build the site lore in somehow, but some lore was more game-play suited than others. I was in particular trying to avoid things that would override the individual dragon's personality--for instance, I could've made some rule that pearlcatchers, as cowards, can't fight in the coli, or have to flee if they get hit, but what if I have a brave pearlcatcher? (I did end up sticking the skydancers with claustrophobia, though; I just couldn't think of anything else.)
Comments most definitely welcome! As I said above, this is a work in progress and subject to change as things go on. :D

A little random babbling about how some of the rules are working out....
So a couple of days ago I decided to use my once-a-month dragon purchase, both because I needed another dragon and because I wanted to test out my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1656036#15723385]dragon acquisition rules[/url]. I rolled on the tables, and ended up with the following:
[indent]plentiful breed – mirror, tundra, fae, guardian
plentiful prim – basic
common sec – current, eyespots, freckle, stripes, daub, peregrine, paint
common tert – underbelly
element – wind
price limit: 6500t (’cause my clan is still poor :D )[/indent]
I put my most limiting factors (basic primary, underbelly tert, and Wind element) into the AH search, and I found the following in my price range, only three of which were plentiful breeds:

I was actually really happy with this result, because I wanted the system to give me some choice without me being able to buy absolutely any dragon. Of course, once I get more treasure in play, the range of choices will certainly expand. But I like how this works for starting out.
Anyway, here’s Pink, the newest member of the clan. ([url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/1656016#15878259]And here's the story about how she joined the others.[/url])
