Things pop up, but I will let you know if this is the case. [*]I'm a very tired person, so please be patient with me! Turnaround times vary depending on my energy levels and general busyness.

[b][u]EXAMPLES[/b][/u] [b]From my own lair (my lair is a 1920s jazz club, for context):[/b][br][br] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=203342&tab=dragon&did=19821882][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/198219/19821882.png[/img][/url][nextcol][color=transparent]xxxx[/color][nextcol]He breathes in familiar smoke — stagnant, suspended over the heads of his content patrons like starless firmament. His velvet lungs feign to its toxins, helpless and stranded inside an arrogant hedonist. He cares not for his health, for the moment the spotlights dazzle him, he abandons himself to his own fantasies. With a saccharine, honeyed voice, he invites the audience to lose themselves in their own indulgences — reality cannot touch them here.[/columns] [br] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=203342&tab=dragon&did=18401587][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/184016/18401587.png[/img][/url][nextcol][color=transparent]xxxx[/color][nextcol]She takes a glance at her audience — dazed, astonished eyes tinged with an insidious reverie meet hers. Their attention did not waver from her, enraptured by such a piercing red in colourless context. She needn’t worry herself with pleasantries, for they know who she is. Her lips part and her words flow out of her. She knows what to say, taking the words in their souls and serenading them with what they want, or perhaps need, to hear.[/columns] [br] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=203342&tab=dragon&did=33246539][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/332466/33246539.png[/img][/url][nextcol][color=transparent]xxxx[/color][nextcol]Violin in hand, he steps out onto the stage, buzzed and alive. He moves with a certain swagger that seems natural for a man of such a pedigree as his; yet there was a certain languid quality to his gait, as if he floats above his patrons with ease, that betrays nothing but overconfidence. The audience cease their chatter when they spot him, and he acknowledges them with a nod. He takes his place and feels the heat of the spotlight, luring him, demanding excellence...[/columns] [br] [columns][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=203342&tab=dragon&did=32511062][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/325111/32511062.png[/img][/url][nextcol][color=transparent]xxxx[/color][nextcol]He sits at a table far from the golden lights of the stage. A half empty bottle of burgundy keeps him company as the cabaret begin. He lifts the lip of the bottle to his own and looks around him, noting how these glassy-eyed patrons rejoice so greatly at the spectacle unfolding on stage. He envies them -- foolish, empty people content and satisfied by frivolous entertainment. Part of him regrets funding the upkeep of the club, but where else would he go to abandon himself to distraction...

She makes the effort to greet her guests, most of whom she did not know, exchanging pleasantries and compliments for a brief moment as fine hosts do. Certainly, all see her as an agreeable woman, one of the most esteemed in her clan; anyone should think themselves lucky to be invited to her lavish affairs. But one needn’t tell her this directly, for she knows her own worth — nobody who valued themselves poorly would live such an opulent life as she.

@Rochambeau can we post yet?

@Rochambeau I just bought Rin not too long ago; I'm not quite sure what to do for her (or even if I'll keep her current apparel) and I've considered making her a messenger, but I'm still floundering about for a role for her. Anyway, if an idea strikes you I'd love to get a lore blurb for her! Thanks in advance! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=34551927] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/345520/34551927_350.png[/img] [/url] (hopefully I'm not posting too soon, ha ha whoops, I'll delete this post if so)

@Rochambeau I would absolutely love it if you write a blurb for Callisto here! :) Rich, opulent, egotistical dragons are far and few between in my lair, but Callisto is the exception to this rule. I picked him for the lore blurb, since I am aware that you enjoy writing bios for the poshest of lore dragons. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=23806800] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/238069/23806800_350.png[/img] [/url] He does not have a full bio yet, but the gist of the ideas that I have for him is this: [i]While I don't have much typed up for his personality and interests yet (he's currently a very underdeveloped character at the moment) the core of the ideas that I've got for him is that he is a elegant and resourceful, but also narcissistic and elitist astrophysicist and astronomer. While he is revered for his cleverness and ingenuity, he is also a dragon to be wary of. Many visitors to his centre recall his shocking acts of snobbery and narcissism, going so far as to halt Tundras from attending his lectures because 'they are the foil-brained lowlings of the dragon world!'[/i]

@Rave31 @Tala2121 @QuetzalQueen

Posting's fine! :o I was just editing my reserves n _ n! When you're able, please fill out the form and I'll get back to you ASAP!

Do you think you'd want to do a little something for these two spookers?? BBCode: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35003322] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/350034/35003322_350.png[/img] [/url] BBCode: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=35003324] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/350034/35003324_350.png[/img] [/url] They're brother and sister and very involved in witchcraft

@Rochambeau what would happen if I told you that I wanted you to do one for my unnamed shadow male noc and the theme would be like he betrayed shadow and decided to become a double agent for shadow?
