I got two bios done? It's a miracle. Here's[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/71235308] Lazarus's bio[/url] all done and coded :D

Tomorrow is a lore whining day! I finally can do one!

Got the day off today, so I can get to doing some writing! Got a few ideas for those dragons I want to work on, which is good.

Your reminder ping is here: today, September 24th, is a Lore Whining Day! Apologies for missing last LWD, life, uh, Happened™. <_> Much appreciation to those who still popped into the thread, and congrats to everyone who was still able to make some progress on the 14th! No prompts today, so feel free to chill with your own plans as usual or check out some of the resources on the front page. ^^ Personal goals because I keep forgetting to say them these days: wrestle with bio layout coding for my sibling G2 Imps and decide on personalities/starting tidbits for my song fandragons. I don't expect I'll finish everything but I'm hoping to make some good progress. *nods* Good luck, everyone! ovo)b [size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][size=1][color=transparent]@Quis @Mythantos @Mypilot @kiwipen @SparkyLurkdragon @Kaibutsu @Pensacola @Kauria @WolfandCrow @Orodruin @spideydevil @CassieRose @Amut @Coincidence @Leopardmask @DraigTeg @Redtiger7736 @Rvan @Mnkn10 @Bxy26 @BarbaraFett @psychae @HSoup @ufology @Breshcandra @jotunn @FaerieQueene @Poiichy @Kneph @Fluffmuffler @PlanetariumPixel @Demesne @Natron @Stolen @hypomargoteros @AryaWolf19 @Elaendorlien @WhisperingWoe @taniquetil @HoraDusk @smeen @Lixue @Azurenight @Toxtricity @GrinningWolf24 @dragonpals @makyroll @Severynn @HurricaneWinds @spiderdew @Bronzewing @DragonWolfie @foxshapedshadows @Hyzenthlaay @Snek @Klawzor @LegallyInsane @VenaCava @Watercolour @Aikka @DilsDragons @Alicio @ironical @Tues @cloena @SkySerenade @cartographic @Talismarr @Birdsofwax @ulvesang @Lendri @Twite @Deramadus @Alphazi @Emordnilap @Melova @velvetpaws @Oranitha @StormcatcherHere @styygian @astramaru @DTEvie @ghostlyplants @Clownz @ClearBright @Phaedra @ArtemisHalfMoon @Pachirisu @Valoria @Sekine @Zikitty @Shegrasi @Jaakisaur @SnoringHyena @Aztec @dancingcrane @Papayatar @Seabi @irradiatedsnakes @AlmightyAmu @inkfrog @slimecicle @xev @UnknownWish @Baizhu @Amayai @EmeraldSands315 @SariStar @caelafireheart @Mistwhisker @phoenixoflegend @talyra @gap @huniepie @CrystalDragon14 @TeenyTK @Loghrif @MelanieScribbles @LouCat @AndromedaFlight @Soulthreads @DewFeather @Aserein @LapisWings @asoryuu @Helixstorm @moonstrucksmorns @W0lfBait @CrashingKittens @Tamabukku1000 @Princessfirefly @LynxSideris @RavineCat @Sylvidoptera @CelesticLeo @BeeWhisperer @Anomal0car1s @

Ah, just spent half an hour musing on this. Question for you all! Do you ever think about either flight or breed specific popular name comventions? I was wondering about it for a shadow dragon I want to write lore for. Was thinking "winner" names like Champ, Trophy, Medals, Ace, Power, etc would make a lot of sense given the "we love games and we play to win" lore in shadow (aka the reason I joined the flight and have been saddened ever since that folks rarely seem to go for this angle).

Strength-projecting named for Plague makes sense to me, and jewelry like names for nature, or just things that sound fancy and pretty. Ice always seemed very practical to me.

What about you? Do you have any lore based naming systems?

Busy day but I'm hoping to write bios for a subspecies pair I'm working on. Good luck everyone!

Hehe I'm currently rewriting my trading hub so, while it isn't lore, it's still writing! That counts, yes??

When you have no lore inspiration, but you have a bunch of tarot decks so you decide to just pull cards and make lore from that for most of your remaining dragons.

@ZipZapZoom - I definitely like and use lore based naming systems. I like your idea of "winner" names.

My clan is a coral reef, so the majority of my dragons have water related names. I used fish names, names of bodies of water, water birds, beach things, other marine life names, etc. Then as my clan expanded, started using tropical names as I was running out of water ideas. LOL

Then I have used the names of stones for some of my earth dragon: Geode, Feldspar, etc.

And the crew of the Skyboat Cloud Drift all have air related names: Dustdevil, Jetstream, Breeze, etc.
