The project that is furthest along is The Crystal Kingdom:

His pink and purplish crystal reminded me of the pink tourmaline that overtook Lucas' lab. I added some items to his bio that reminded me of TAZ - it was when I added the red robe that I decide to actually look up which items could represent characters and story events.

After I added the those, I started building the current item grid. My goal is to have the items be organized in the order of events.

After I added the those, I started building the current item grid. My goal is to have the items be organized in the order of events.
When I felt that The Crystal Kingdom was mostly finished, I checked which other dragons of mine could be given the same treatment. In my search for The Crystal Kingdom items I encountered many that reminded me of Sloane:
[item=Dunhoof Ambassador][item=Druidic Sash]
And so, I decided to take on another project: the city of Goldcliff, and Hurley and Sloane's cherry blossom tree.
I did not already have dragons that fit the look I wanted for either, so I got to thinking what would best represent both locations.
For the cherry blossom tree, there was a design I'd already been considering breeding for:

Teal/Rose/Rose, Crystal and Gembond - with either Hex or Toxin as secondaries to portray sunlight shining through the branches.
Multiple items could represent the dryads:
[item= Sapling Speaker][item= Barkskin Watcher][item= ][item= Flowering Gladeboughs]
Goldcliff is much more difficult to decide on. There are many accents that could portray either the city's rivers or Sloane's vines climbing up the sides of the Goldcliff Trust.
[skin=17009]
An orca facet could portray shining buildings, while a spearmint butterfly would evoke the theme of an emerald in the desert.

Though I mostly want to make fandragons of the places and not the characters, I would also really like to make a workable Roswell out of the available genes, colors and armor. I love their design, and they're just a great character overall.
[item=Cardinal Hippogriff]
I'm considering a snapper, for the bulk - or possibly a bogsneak.

I found a gen one Amber/Spearmint/Black fae that could represent Goldcliff.

Scrying him showed a few possibilities:

I noticed I've been leaning strongly towards Crystal with all of my project candidates. I'd like to shake it up, but the lighter color of the fae crests with Amber is giving me pause.

I had some ideas of items I could use for Refuge, but couldn't think of a desert-like scry to fit a dragon that could go along with it. Luckily, there's someone in my lair that can represent at least one element of the arc: Kage, who will represent the Purple Worm.

Recently, Tundras have started claiming quinoa is full of vitamins, cures disease, and attracts mates. Mirrors are skeptical. (Special thanks to TCA!)
While considering how to pick representatives for The Stolen Century, I decided to choose one for each notable cycle. Today, I found an excellent beach dragon to represent Cycle 21 - The Beach World--my friend @barrybluejules ' Merlot:

There is a lot of Crystal in this project, for sure. Possibly I will end up with more than one representative for a concept to have a wider variety of genes.
