Find a Dragon

So, after some intermittent hiatus-ing, I'm now more certain I'll be able to maintain some more activity. A big part of this return to form was my reunion with Chase, my progens' youngest daughter. She was a part of my first ever nest, and I sold her all the way back in '13. I'll forever be thankful to the player who returned her to me, as the seller's regret was real and I wanted nothing more than to restore my progens' first nest. I recently impulse-splurged on an accent that gave me all sorts of story ideas for her, and now I want to expand that into the rest of my clan with a fresh new coat of LORE. [b]Bottom line of the idea is:[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/30123]Chase [/url]died at some point when she was young, lost and away from home, and a dragon restored her life force with Shadow magics. She, now technically un-dead, returns home years later and is welcomed by her family, where she speaks to them of the Shadow dragon that saved her. From this, her relatives gain a great amount of respect for the Shadow element, and from thereon desire to incorporate snippets of the culture she grew up in so that her new life force can flourish just as it did in the Shadowlands. Any dragon I wind up buying will be incorporated in the lore as a Shadow dragon who was part of a rag-tag group that raised Chase, and who accompanied her when she expressed the need to find her birthplace. Because most of my dragons in the Darkwood Council are seven years old, I would love for any Shadow additions to be of a similar age (if currently [b]6[/b] years old: a hatchdate no earlier than [i]May 1st[/i]) The colours could be fairly random, so long as they could come together for a scry I enjoy ([url=https://www1.flightrising.com/den/2633/1628663?name=&type=undefined]just look at this tab, the colours are all over the place[/url]). I'd be happy to pay at least 300 Gems for 7-year dragons depending on their colours (genes have no effect since they'll be Veilspun'd anyway) and [i]much [/i]more if they have an older ID (I'm not [i]really [/i]a serious oldie collector but if I find one I [i]need [/i]I will pay) I'm looking to buy about [b]2 to 5 dragons![/b] [b]Purchased thusfar:[/b] [b]Adriano[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/573461][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/5735/573461.png[/img][/url] [i]6-digi[/i] [b]Taz[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/1686286][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/16863/1686286.png[/img][/url] [b]Astera[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/2770827][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/27709/2770827.png[/img][/url]

That's adorable! I have this girl from dec 2014 that I've been thinking about getting rid of. She's part of a breeding pair that I'm no longer interested in. The only older shadow dragon I have is a g1 I'm rather attached to so she's probably out of your budget if I were to accept an offer on her.

@Zeco5000 They are very lovely! Long-running breeding pairs weren't really in my sights due to long offspring lists, but I'll think about these two. ^^

@Mutation if you want them I'd be asking for 10g/kt per year of age for each, so 120g total

Makvala here is right on the cusp of what you're looking for, but I figured I'd offer her anyway since I've been looking for a new home for her. She's listed as 5 y/o currently since her birthday is 2/13, but I figure that might be close enough.

@magebee Just a liiiiiiitle too young yeah, but thank you for showing her anyways! Good luck finding her a cozy home [emoji=wildclaw happy size=1]

As an oldie fan with way too many dragons than is healthy for me and my schedule, I was rather surprised to find out that I don't actually have that many Shadow dragons, and I didn't actually plan on even thinking about parting with most of them ^^" Though since I only have 3 (4?) to offer, that's not saying much xD I believe only two of them are solidly within your specifications.

But since most of my clan wanders as a traveling circus and there's not too much intrigue or thoughts of assassination, is there really a need for a doppleganger? [size=1]Especially one where you have to squint to see the similarities.[/size] Of the dragons that I'm offering, he's the easiest for me to let go. While he has been bred, all of his offspring have been named. You also don't need to scroll very far to reach the end of the list. Complete side note, if Adriano sells, then [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/555262]this lady[/url] will also be looking for a new home.[/quote] [quote=Chara] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/2008872][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/20089/2008872_350.png[/img][/url] Royal Cherub | Pink Peregrine | Platinum Glimmer ID #: 2008872 Hatchdate: Jan 16, 2014 (7 years) Level 25 She's a bit younger than Adriano, but as of about a month ago, she's 7 years old. While she's been bred, you don't need to scroll at all to find the bottom of her offspring list. She has a bit of lore (closer to a conversational bit) that I wrote ages ago and probably needs some fleshing out/rework. Years ago, I attempted to sell her while she had her old genes of Tiger/Shimmer/Crackle. That didn't go well, so I regened her, fell in love with her, and now she's the clan's stylist/tailor along with her (significantly younger, Lightning) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/24672528]mate[/url]. If you'd like Chara, Asterion will likely go with her. I'm honestly rather attached to her. Despite the fact that she only has a small blurb of anything written for her (ah, life. Why must you be so busy?) she's developed a personality over the years as she's helped me to run a pop-up dressing shop in collaboration with the clan's [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/8279700]painter[/url]. However, I'm a shmuck for lore, so I don't mind her going with you, if you're interested in her, of course. Fun fact, Chara and Asterion also happen to be my Valentine's Day pair (because why would I go with the usual pink, white, and red?). I forgot to put them on a nest this year, though lol[/quote] [quote=Salena and Albedo] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/16331341][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/163314/16331341_350.png[/img][/url] Obsidian Crystal | Caribbean Facet | Ice Shimmer ID #: 16331341 Hatchdate: Aug 29, 2015 (5 years) Level 10 [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/15723595][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/157236/15723595_350.png[/img][/url] Obsidian Crystal | Caribbean Facet | Maize Glimmer ID #: 15723595 Hatchdate: Aug 09, 2015 (5 years) Level 10 Both are Shadow dragons, and they've only been bred only with each other. The pair is most definitely younger than what you were looking for, but with the lore that they currently have, I figured they might make for some fun lore if you incorporated your ideas. While Albedo is your run-of-the-mill warrior who excels at night ops, Salena is a not-quite-a-dragon who protects others from...dream creatures, for lack of better words. Salena's lore stemmed from her (now exalted) parents' lore. Scrying ideas are in their descriptions. Salena has a little review written for her along with her lore. Both are warriors/guards of my clan; details are in their descriptions (though I really need to go and clean that up a bit as well lol). I'm also rather attached to them, partially because of their lore, partially because Salena was the first dragon I bought whose original price was over 100 gems (maybe just 150 gems? I can't remember her exact price anymore; I just remember that for being a non-G1, she was an expensive buy to me), and partially because I spent so much on the pair. Again, regardless of all of the time I've put into them, I don't mind them going to you, assuming you're interested in them. I also don't expect you to offer anywhere near the 1k+ gems that I spent on them, aha~ I'd honestly likely be just fine with 150 gems for the pair. I don't know if I'd sell them separately.[/quote][/center] Fair warning, though, 6 digits tend to go for 1k+ gems nowadays! And if nothing else, good luck in your search!

@Malachite Honestly I've gotta say I'm a little interested in Adriano - all of his kids are named and with him having spent much time in a Wind clan, I could explain away the amount of them woth the general "go with the flow" attitude of Wind, and him being the father of more than a few hatchlings could make him a good foster figure to chase, maybe as a little brother (since they are only about 3 months apart - geeze, those IDs ramped up quick!).

While his colours aren't great I could always use that as an excuse for a scatter-and-gene project. I'll keep him in mind for sure!
