* All official Memento Mori must have one parent descended from Founding Pairs: Acanthus, Moros, Vigil & Pilgrim.
* Memento Mori dragons will have a generation number to show how distantly (or closely) related they are from the Founders. Acanthus & Moros, Vigil & Pilgrim are considered Generation 0. Their children are Generation 1, their grandchildren are Generation 2, and so forth.
* Please
do not interbreed Memento Mori, regardless of whether they are far enough removed or not, because this causes issues with generational listing and muddies the genetic pool. Try not to cross bloodlines, if it can be helped!
NEW!
* Memento Mori
Modern qualifying primary/secondary genes are:
Pinstripe & Trail, Tapir & Striation, Cherub & Seraph, Cinder & Blaze, Ground & Fissure, Harlequin & Jester, Pharaoh & Sarcophagus, Boulder & Myrid, Ribbon & Eel, Tide & Foam.
Qualifying Gaoler genes are:
Phantom & Spirit, Cinder & Blaze.
A tight colour range is preferred: qualifying Primary and Secondary colour ranges are from
Orca through Shadow. This is required. However, there are no requirements for Tertiary gene or colour. This is where variation is encouraged.
* There is no flight limitation.
* There is no breed limitation, both modern and ancients are accepted. At the moment, genes for all ancients are being assessed and will be determined and decided on ASAP.
*
Memento Mori dragons must be level 10 to be eligible for registration. This is not a high level to achieve and think of it as a trial by fire. Lore wise, a Memento Mori dies the moment they reach level 10, then have their visitation by their familiar, and are given their Second Chance.
* If you find yourself with a qualifying Memento Mori dragon (picked up randomly from the AH or received in a swap thread), and their lineage parent
has not be registered, you are now able to register your Memento by leveling them to 15. Lorewise, the curse seemingly skipped a generation, but death always finds the bloodline in the end.
* If you'd like a blurb of lore to go with your dragons to help you start out with, feel free to request it! Lore is a huge basis for this project and it is encouraged!
* The bloodlines have been established! Moros and Acanthus have decided to name their bloodline
Fortuna caeca est - which is latin for
"Fortune is blind." Vigil and Pilgrim have decided to name their bloodline
Nascentes morimur - meaning "From the moment we are born, we begin to die."
* NEW!
A new bloodline has appeared: geist-dragons, descendants of Ariia & Ourboros are given the name
Ad Vitam Aeternam - meaning "To eternal life." AVA geist-dragons all have either runes or glowtail as a tertiary gene, without exception.
* Only Memento Mori dragons may be advertised and/or sold here. Registration is required before your dragons hatchlings can be advertised in the thread. Please do not needlessly spam the various pinglists or use them for non-project dragons. You may use the hatchling pinglist once to list your hatchling/s for sale, and then again when they age up. Do not quote your last ping, always retrieve the list from the front page as that's where it will be kept up-to-date.
* Once you have adopted a dragon from this thread, it is yours to do with what you wish. However, it is preferred that players adopt these dragons with the intent of training and breeding them, so that the family tree can continue to grow and prosper.
* It is up to individual breeders if they sell their Memento Mori hatchlings or give them away for free.
* If at any time your Memento Mori dragon no longer works for your lair, you are more than welcome to use the hatchling pinglist to rehome it, or send it back to me directly (and if you paid for the dragon, I will reimburse you the cooldown-cost;
ex. for a pearlcatcher descendant, I will pay you 20kt/g to return them to me, for a skydancer I would pay 25kt/g)
* It is up to other lineage creators if crosses are allowed with this lineage. Hatchlings must then meet the requirements of
both lineages. If one lineage demands its hatchlings are to be given away for free (ie NW, nightingales), then you cannot charge for them in this thread, they're to be free here also.
• I am subscribed but it's okay if you ping •
