What social structure do you use? Is it a Monarchy? Oligarchy? Autocracy? Tribal System? A Commune? [S]If you’re stuck, the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forms_of_government]wiki page on government[/url] can help clear things up. [/s] Or use FR’s own [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1372481]title guide.[/url][/b] Because this is a new lair/clan, the established relationship is simple: it is Glen Vale's territory, so Glen Vale is initially the land lord and everything has to go through him. [B]2. Head on over to a [/b][url=http://ideonomy.mit.edu/essays/traits.html]personality trait guide[/url] [b]and give it a quick look. Do any of these words stick to one of your dragons? Grab a few index cards and use one for each dragon. Write down traits you think would match. If you can’t think of any a handy [/b][url=https://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/random/] random number generator[/url] [b]can help you pick. You can also use google docs to make digital index cards which are much easier to share, [s]but I find having physical ones on hand next to my keyboard more convenient and I’m more likely to jot stuff down on paper when I have an idea. Also handy when you have a lot of dragons…[/s] [/b] Glen Vale:: [i]Responsible, Well-rounded, Steady, Abrupt. [/i] Verel:: [i]Benevolent, Genuine,Protective. [/i] Yugona:: [i]Invulnerable, Persuasive, Self-sufficent, Deceptive. [/i] Lili:: [i]Perceptive, Resourceful, Self-critical, Aggressive.

Okay, now that you’ve got a basic idea of personalities, how do these 5 dragons interact with each other?[/b] [B]Are they lovers?[/b] Verel and Yugona are ex lovers. [B]Friends?[/b] Glen Vale and Vere are best friends. [B]Rivals?[/b] Lili and Leima, from Lili's point of view. [B]Are they higher or lower rank on the social structure?[/b] Order goes as followed:: Glen Vale, Verel, Leima, Lili, Yugona. Rank goes by clan contribution. [B]Maybe they don’t like how the other one operates. Or they do like it. How do they show it? Are they likely to be sneaky about it or upfront? [/b] Glen Vale:: [i] is pretty straight forward and expects his word to be heard and his rules abided to help the clans business. [/i] Verel:: [i]Is very responsible in his position as guard and patrol. [/i] Yugona:: [i]Doesn't have a care for the lan or their ways. She is just laying low for now...

What will your dragon care about more: the truth of what happened; Their own (or the family) honor that is being tainted; or will they value the fact that something bad is happening to a family member more? [/b] Glen Vale:: [i] will always demand the truth. [/i] Verel:: [i]cares more for the family member. [/i] Yugona:: [i] flight honor being tainted.
