[quote]-Making them Special by making them the opposite of all their element's stereotypes[/quote] I thought I was doing that with Marrow, my first Plague dragon :P She's all edgy-looking so I made her my clan doctor. Now that I know more about flight lore, though, having a Plague-element doctor dragon actually probably makes a lot of sense. [quote]-Something something hatched under insert stock celestial event/sign here[/quote] Not usually super into these but I do have a blood-moon dragon - possibly the most cliche of celestial-event dragons to have :P [quote]-Brown male tundra in casual dress with a flower who's a cutesy flirt[/quote] I have never heard of this one but I can immediately picture it lol [quote]-Toymaker (surprisingly common) -Tailor(also surprisingly common) [/quote] Oh huh, I don't have either of those. Maybe I should. [quote]-No lore in the actual dragon's bio, but the owner clearly has something in mind because they keep talking about it on the forums[/quote] oh yeah just calling me out here [quote]-Surprisingly little mention of flying[/quote] meanwhile me over here trying to justify how dragons can get lost in the forest if a good majority of them are able to just fly above the trees to get their bearings [quote]-Fire dragon that oozes lava everywhere[/quote] *glances at profile dragon* uh. [quote]-No element despite this being canonically impossible[/quote] I like trying to stick to canon so my only elementless are my non-Sorniethan-draconic fandragons - the robot and two aliens. The robot is actually powered by neutral magic, which is considered a great feat of science but also very volatile. [quote]-Cannibal dragon[/quote] No hate on people who genuinely want this for interesting lore, but sometimes I find this super weird?? The other day I was in a Discord chat where people were just casually discussing which of their dragons would totally eat hatchlings given the chance and it made me a little uncomfortable. [quote]- nature dragons are all hippies and/ or really intensely dressed in all the green/nature apparel that could be found[/quote] we're all hippies here [quote]-Little to no LBGT+ dragons[/quote] Huh. I would have thought "every dragon is gay/nb/etc." would be a more common trope. That's what I tend to see. I try to keep a good mix - a few gay pairs, a few straight pairs, ace guy, haven't had anyone "tell" me they're nb yet but it's only a matter of time I'm sure. [quote]-Not really part of the clan but shhhh...[/quote] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=24857263]Moonless[/url] for the last few months before the den was released. With multiple dragons that could sense the Shade's presence and Moonless having caused problems for a while, there was no logical reason for it to stay in my lair... but I didn't want to get rid of it and there was nowhere else for it to go. [quote]-looks evil/edgy but actually really sweet[/quote] see: Marrow again [quote]-Totally irredeemable sadistic edgelord, probably carries a cleaver and wears a cowl[/quote] Neither of those apparel choices but that's basically 2/3 of my Coli team in a nutshell. The 3rd dragon is there to keep them in check. [quote]-Charged with/visibly full of their element (To abnormal levels or in weird ways, not just from normal magic power)[/quote] Got two of these. One is aforementioned fire-lava-profile dragon, the other is a Lightning Wildclaw whose abnormal amount of Lightning magic messed up the nerve function in his legs. [quote]-Some variety of elemental/nature/generally demigodlike spirit[/quote] Everyone thinks Zuli is some kind of nature spirit but he's not, he's just our accountant. Riverwanderer is actually a shapeshifting water spirit though. [quote]-Quadruped dragons described preforming actions as if they were bipeds[/quote] Guilty. I try to avoid it, but sometimes it happens. Especially in my Mirror pack, it seems, which led to a headcanon that Mirrors can stand/kind of walk on their hind legs for short periods of time, but it's awkward - like your average cat or dog standing on their hind legs briefly. [quote]-"My other familiar is the Lightweaver"[/quote] what does this one even mean I'm genuinely curious [quote]-X character that was magically turned into a dragon.[/quote] I'll be getting a fandragon like this soon, but only because it's a story that actually works quite well with what little we know of the character. [quote]-Robot dragons[/quote] Another fandragon of mine, the aforementioned neutral-magic-powered automaton [quote]-that one artistic dragon[/quote] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=16235233]yep[/url] [quote]-Anything involving Emperors[/quote] Does practically worshipping Emperors as the pinnacle of creation count? [quote]-some sort of spirit or ghost[/quote] Possibly [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=28156936]this guy[/url], haven't decided yet. [quote]-Ice dragons that hate cold.[/quote] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=20542483]Gift lore, still some of my favorite lore I have.[/url] [quote]-Fandragon with adapted lore[/quote] I looove doing this. It's a fun challenge trying to adapt their lore to mine. [quote]-Blessed by their deity[/quote] A requirement for all my reps. [quote]-G1 heavily themed around hatching date[/quote] See above possibly-ghost boy, born on Halloween.

[quote name="JestingGremlin" date="2019-11-27 03:58:38" ] In regard to that, something that did wonder to me is adding a bunch of quirk or personality traits that have nothing to do with the dragon lore/work to flesh my derg. Because sure their is a lot of bloodthirsty mercenaries out there, but is there also a lot of bloodthirsty mercenaries who likes to knit for the local orphanage? i don't think so. [/quote] Oooh, yes :D I can't think of any examples that I've done of this off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure I've done this?? You would think I'd know my dragons but uhhh.

I'm guilty of like all of this xD but in my defense, there are lots of cliches at this point, so I'll feel okay as long as the lore is somewhat unique

I died at Lorem ipsum

this post is roasting me into a burnt scrap

stop bUlLyInG mE OP

I do remember commenting on here nearly two years ago now but let's check the status of my characters now: [quote]Flowerfalls [/quote] [LIST] [*]Okay this time I'm guilty but it's only because I REALLY love cluttered apparel and a fuller look. [/LIST] [quote]Member of the inner circle of some important council [/quote] [LIST] [*]Well, not entirely but I do have this "secret cult" that's not actually so secret and [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=52691798]Hetepi[/url], [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49955099]Nuenra[/url], [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48402174]Pen Hesb[/url] and some others that I just can't remember at this moment belong to it. It's a very specific reference to a game franchise but I'll let you have it this time. [/LIST] [quote]Giant library [/quote] [LIST] [*]FINE, you win this time. In my defense, that magnificent desert library from Avatar: The Last Airbender just got burnt into my memory and I love the idea of it so I just went with it. [/LIST] [quote]More apparel = more cool[/quote] [LIST] [*]Not cooler because cool and any other personal opinion on something is subjective therefore invalid BUT........... I do love putting too much apparel on dragons so yeah. There are lore reasons for that tho [/LIST] [quote]Grandma Snapper [/quote] [LIST] [*]....frick, you got me. [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=5647860]Shu[/url] just be like that ok. [/LIST] [quote]Heterochromia [/quote] [LIST] [*]LOOK, intriguing genetic mutations like those are cool, don't judge me!!1 [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48182413]Wadjet[/url] is the culprit,,, [/LIST] [quote]Some kind of dimension-hopping power [/quote] [LIST] [*]HEY! H-hear me out..... my [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48474529]dragonsona[/url] might be a reality-jumping (riftwalking) god but that's because: 1) I have a theory that we're all fictional and that all beings create existence with mental processes throughout realities 2) I am trying to figure out how those realities exactly work and how to reach them 3) I am actually trying to become a god who's also an eldritch monstrosity and a goblin 4) Kneph is based on my persona who's obviously based on me and my life 5) I break the 4th wall all the time 6) I self-insert into other realities because it canonically makes sense But once again, sure.......I'll let you have this one, shame me. [/LIST] [quote]Immortal [/quote] [LIST] [*]WELL HEY, LOOK.... there's a scientific reason WHY "immortality" is a thing in my clan (us riftwalkers aside) and it's because we have the tech necessary to have cells be able to regenerate, like a specific type of Earthen jellyfish is capable of. [/LIST] [quote]Is actually a god [/quote] [LIST] [*]WELL YEAH, [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=55764120]Kars[/url], [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=50185132]Esidisi[/url] and [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48024460]Wamuu[/url] are gods, aren't they?? DARN IT, you got me, fine. [/LIST] [b]Now to flex specifically:[/b] [quote]Only professions that could plausibly be RPG classes exist[/quote] [LIST] [*]HA HA HA FOOLISH MORTAL, [i]absolutely freaking not[/i]. I just wanted to talk about this so I can flex but I LOVE domestic stuff and farming so most of my lair is exactly that. You won't get me this time!! [/LIST] [quote]Flight representatives [/quote] [LIST] [*]I do have some sort of aesthetic concept of Flight representatives but they are not representatives in lore, nor are they called that, I just like the thought of having a unique, non-conventionally coloured and gened dragon with a surprising but fitting connection between elemental affiliation and apparel. So, I think I'm good for now. [/LIST] [quote]Demons [/quote] [LIST] [*]I have no idea why I'm even replying to this because I don't have any, but I like to call a Nightmare (horse) a "demon horse" or a "fiend horse" because she's so mischevious. Once again, doesn't count but I wanted to share. [/LIST] [quote]NAME: adjective ~ adjective ~ adjective [/quote] [LIST] [*]Okay once again, guilty BUT, I think this does not count because that's just a minor element of my huge and complex bio template. At this point, it's normal to have something like that in it. [/LIST] [quote]Song lyrics/links to Youtube music videos[/quote] [LIST] [*]THE SAME AS ABOVE. It is just a part of my template and it's expected. [/LIST] [quote]Clan record keeper/archivist/librarian/whatever/ect who is most likely a placeholder for wishlists and business records [/quote] [LIST] [*]VALID, you got me there but [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49097464]Heh[/url] is not a character whose entire sole purpose is to be a placeholder, they are still a beloved character of mine who just happens to have the wishlist in their bio. But now that I think about it, I never remade the wishlist and put it in their bio after getting yeeted, they're just the face of my Haggling Hub since they're a trader so.... HA, it actually isn't a thing! I thought you had me there for a moment [/LIST] [quote]Tailor & travelling merchant [/quote] [LIST] [*]YES, I DO have a [s]tailor[/s] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48977050]weaver[/url] [b]but[/b] it is actually very expectable from a clan whose creator takes its lore very seriously and tries to make it as realistic as possible. I have over 200 jobs that I need for a sustainable clan and this one makes sense. The same goes for the [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48311333]travelling merchant[/url]. Accusation DEFLECTED. [/LIST] [quote]Quadruped dragons described preforming actions as if they were bipeds[/quote] [LIST] [*]SHUT. It is literally impossible for a species to evolve specific type of intelligence if they didn't have the ability to grab things with any of their appendages. A Snapper would never have evolved crafting, high social and theoretical intelligence (similar to humans) if they didn't have opposable thumbs therefore ALL dragons must have the ability to hold things, otherwise it would never have happened. You cannot fool me when it comes to this!1 I have very specific and completely unnecessary knowledge about this very specific topic. [/LIST] [quote]Everyone is LGBT+ [/quote] [LIST] [*]Surprisingly, according to my statistics, my LGBT+ vs. straight/cis is around 50/50! [/LIST] [quote]Alcoholic [/quote] [LIST] [*][url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=55919336]Khonsu[/url] might have a drinking problem but he was not based on that. As a matter of fact, conscious me didn't even design him, the subconscious me did. I had this very specific dream of him finding a ton of money and then spending all of it with his friends on booze and paying for damages they did in bars and taverns, and I loved that dream so much I decided to make a character out of him. There's much more to him than just having a drinking problem so I think that can pass. [/LIST]

so many of these are me, i had a good laugh

biggest cliche?

"I'll put something in here someday"
