He got a rename (used to be called Thane) and made him a fandragon for a character in the book I was reading at the time. Which is not to narrow down the timeframe at all, since it took me over a year to finish it. It’s not in my first language and what can I say. Words are hard. Especially when sometimes it feels like sometimes I don’t even speak English. And let me tell you, I despise literary interpretation even when it’s a language I do know, so don’t expect me to wax eloquent on the evils of capitalism or whatever people think this play is about. Though, for the record, I don't think it's about that, myself. Anyway, Alquist had a bit of a different story before the Beastclan retcon stuff (along with what felt like, at the time, half my dragons)... so he’s been a bit of floating in the ether for a while without much of a character or direction. So any lore ideas for this fellow, I’m all ears. You don’t have to be familiar with the source material because, despite reading it for over a year, I can tell you for sure I’m not. But I do know this about him: he’s sticking to his revolutionary roots. Unlike the character, who kind of gets caught up on the wrong side of history. He’s just a builder, an angel on the shoulder. So I’ll just talk about the dragon’s aesthetics, which I consider quite excellent. Took for[i]ever[/i] for me to finally land on this for him, though. I might give him Saddle one day, I might not. I do like the purple from Blend a lot for no reason whatsoever, and I was proud of working the gas mask into an incredibly appropriate situation. Also that Fiery Wings, which I almost got rid of half a dozen times because I could never use it in a way that I liked. Turned out all I needed was a little revolution. Show me a [b]Revolutionary[/b]! What are they fighting against and what are they fighting for? Do they succeed?

But I did enjoy it while I did it. It was one of those things where sent off Aquarius’s children with the offer to buy her grandchildren. I ended up with a small handful of them, many of which are very important to me. I might actually try to pick up a few more grandkids this year. If you happen to be interested in helping me fill out my lair with this one’s grandkids, let me know. I’m feeling pretty good about kicking my own butt into gear right now. Another fun thing about this girl - I actually sold her once. She herself is the granddaughter of [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/15755445]Moor[/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/9165573]Genesis[/url], and I bought her when she was a wee babe. I fell out of love with her and decided to sell her in 2019. Then in 2020 I noticed she was for sale on the AH again so I bought her and changed all her genes. She used to have [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=27&bodygene=10&breed=4&element=3&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=32&tertgene=7&winggene=10&wings=23&auth=8044bbc663416289afbedda709f95bf5081a3918&dummyext=prev.png]Cherub/Paint/Smoke[/url].

[b]Jan 10: Lineages[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/89792095][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/897921/89792095_350.png[/img][/url] A Gen 6 Temporal Rifters/Sweet Dreams and Gen 2 Restless Replicas who I affectionately turned into a fandragon. I even wrote some (relatively WIP) lore for him that relates to both his fandragon status and lineage background. (There's a bit more within [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90425775]this guy's[/url] bio. It's meant to connect the aforementioned fandragon's lore to another fandragon.) I bought him as a hatchling because the three lineages were points of interest for me.

[b]Day 8 - Mistakes[/b] Nalbina was an impulse gene project who turned out to be a mistake, in that I just don't like her that much. She's kinda nice, but not worth-a-veilspun-scroll nice. She's part of a wider project of mine to have a set of blood siblings that represent each of the ancient breeds. As such, I feel compelled to keep her until/unless I get a different veilspun, and have regened her a couple times to try and like her better (compounding my mistake by throwing more money at it). I've pretty much settled on replacing her...but only when I get a sibling/scry who I really like, so she might be here a while yet.

Hey what a great thread, I'm going to do my darndest to catch up by posting for Jan 1 and 2 before I go to sleep (which should have been 4hrs ago, RIP tomorrow) Jan 1 creations: This is a toss up between a subspecies and one who is suspected of creating, so I'm going to go the more mysterious route in the hope that subspecies can show up again in the next 363 days This is Regal, back in the day Primal eyes were a RNG miracle and not a 'pay to win' feature, or however you want to describe what they are these days. They were more 'specialer' to me then and I had a lot of fun scrying and regening XYZs that people were throwing on the AH cheap. I didn't change anything on him, but Casylum gifted me the most amazing art for him and I treasure him ever since and he got lore as a result. Its... still a work in progress, but basically nobody is really sure what he does or where exactly his Lab is, but considering that dragons mysteriously change their appearance between arriving in the lair and remaining/leaving, suspicions have been raised [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/54036723][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/540368/54036723_350.png[/img][/url][/center] Jan 2 custom progens. This will be quick, I haven't looked at him in a while, (he got exalted Aug 7 2022 for lair space and hasn't been pulled back out yet - gotta love that special progen ability) When he arrived in Sornieth (anyone read Piers Anthony's Xanth series?) he was just trying to figure out where he was and what was going on in this new magical place. Nobody had heard of Gaolers back then, so he was often confused for a tundra. I still miss the tundra art but I'm not changing him back, (I had to use my clanbound changes somehow, and as a relatively new player, wasn't cashed up to afford gening so didn't want to lose the genes from any of my other dragons so my progens got hit!) Braids finally fixed his purple tert *phew* [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/48055617][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=37&bodygene=36&breed=17&element=8&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=12&tertgene=55&winggene=38&wings=46&auth=a3e8c8f3114e8afb53d8b0379c25929290cba88c&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url][/center] Jan 3 random progen I was going to do just two but figured I should get the random progen out of the way while I had the restore dragon page open [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=31&bodygene=39&breed=17&element=8&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=58&tertgene=2&winggene=39&wings=19&auth=a3785a86b277312a636cb64f62d0661b5cef722b&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/center] I don't know what to do with her, maybe I should scatter her like some other players have done with theirs. Maybe a Light Flight Ancient will be released and she'll suit it? I disliked mirror dragons when I started so she looked like an angry hairless chihuahua to me, (I'm still searching for the image that prompted that, hopefully its in Xanthus' bio because its not in hers - I unexalted her to find it so I'll have to wait three days before I can check his) Suffice to say, the clanbound Gaoler change was a godsend at the time. Nothing else to say except "Why FR, Why?" oh... and that I like mirror dragons now!

He was a Skydancer, also. I dunno, I think he’s beautiful. I think I’ve been looking for a dragon to wear this skin since 2020. I’ve seen so many lovely dragons wearing it, but I wanted something different, you know? So here we are four years later. I think it turned out. One of these days, he’s gonna be a Level 25, because I’m pretty sure that’s what priests are in this world. Lore-wise, this one is obviously one of my newer ones, but I’ve had my priestess Aquarius (who I showed yesterday) for a very long time and I always wanted to get her a buddy. A protoge, if you will. I consider it a major part of my lore that time is ongoing, and as dragons get older or move on or retire, they will be replaced by another dragon. One of these days, Aquarius will move to my hibernal den full-time and Leviticus will be in charge. Maybe I’ll even do a whole lineage project with him like I did with Aquarius when the game was new. Also, lore-wise, I’m really not sure how the deities interact with the dragons that serve them. It doesn’t seem to me that “religion” is a word that really applies here in the way we’d use it on Earth, but maybe there’s a way it makes sense in Sornieth. All the same, the dragon deities are a part of the lore somehow, and the dragons that follow them stand on pedestals in order for us to… buy stuff. I assume. It’s a weird world. Especially when you try to get game mechanics involved. There’s definitely a better reason in lore, but that sounded much funnier, so that’s what I’m going with Show me a dragon that is involved in a [b]Religion[/b]! Do they follow one of the eleven deities or some other god out there? Do they train dragons for exaltation or do they recruit them? Are they a god themselves seeking dragons to follow them or other gods to fight?

@Almedha it's insanely cool you incorporate time into your lair and lore! I'm not sure I would have ever come up with such a concept. I love the skin on Leviticus! His saturated warm colors with the soft pastel of the skin are surprisingly matchy.

@Almedha he's gorgeous! I love that accent too, and it suits him to a tee, and much less spooky than it can be otherwise. His blurb on the right leads me to wonder if he's destined to be your Golem workshop mage? He's the perfect element and it fits his lore to be part of a fodder training team in GW! I guess I'll show my GW mage in return for Jan 11, although I had never thought of him as religious you might just influence his future (lore) who knows?

Oh wow Jan 4 is Ancient. I'm tempted to show off my only 5 digit but I'm going to go with someone far more ancient lorewise. As in 'before the Pillar broke ancient'. Like I said I'm far too tired to type so hopefully her WiP lore is legible enough to grasp where I'm heading with her, and you have to scroll down her bio a bit to reach it, but TLDR she's reanimated fossil/marble/riversand into the form of a banescale to re-emerge in this (relatively to her) modern world [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/55764550][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/557646/55764550_350.png[/img][/url] I lost grip on this multi-flight primal lore epic when eye vials became purchase-able but I'm getting interested in it again now that new Ancients are pushing the pain aside, I will probably replace some of the banes with their Flight ancients I guess - because lair/den space is a game mechanic OMG Jan 5 is birthdays and I started collecting 6 digit birthday dragons so it fits the ancient prompt too to include Australis in this post and catch me up quicker (I'll stop posting three dragons a day as soon as I can i promise) Also... Thylacine is one of the bestest terts, I absolutely love using it to tie a pri/sec together, or just to clash strikingly but fittingly. Its popped up a couple of times already in this thread so I'll be sure to include one of mine at some point too!

Their body and mind are a vessel for a deep space entity, who sees and acts through them. This Entity is beyond time, beyond mind, corporeal and incorporeal, neither malevolent nor benevolent, and the knowledge it imparts is valued and understood by sacred few. Atareum also possesses the gift of creation, using it to create safe havens over the centuries where their followers settled and erected cities and temples. Atareum's temples have been home to many priests and followers, the most important being the temple guardians. Those felled in battle are preserved in stone statues, crafted in the image of Atareum, and sleep within sealed temple walls, waiting. Very few have ever awakened: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/75088328]I[/url]. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/75143759]II[/url].
