Let's see.
Stuff that definitely applies to my lore:
-dragon demigod
-capsule as an edible liquid
-dragon that is part plant
-canonical breed lore is (sometimes) ignored
-canonical dragon sizes are (usually) ignored
-abandonment backstories
-rare disease
-progens are always mates
Stuff that somewhat applies:
-clan is a rest stop for travelers. Do restaurants count? Not an inn or tavern though, and nobody's staying overnight.
-dull coatl no prejudice. It applies to the coatl's immediate living group, but does not apply outside of that group.
-murderous permababy. I have a least two jerk permababies, but I really don't think either would commit murder.
Sin tally (a la CinemaSins): 11

I think I've got a new one: Guardian who lost their charge and oh wow, they've found another one

some bonus tropes:
-cult leader
-ignores dragon's actual parents/offspring in favor of lore ones
-clan has no actual way of obtaining income/goods to trade
-dragon that's comically inept at their job
-mire flyer/other designated coli dragon is a fighter/warrior of some sort
-dragons are either incredibly good at magic or incapable of doing it at all

Quote:
-level 1 who can beat up anything (who doesn't have at least one)
-master of poisons technically for my old lore clan but i still have her
-that one who's not really part of the clan and is almost definitely super evil but is tolerated for some reason
-dragons are gods, spirits, demigods, the shade's manifestation, or other similar non-mortal entities
-undead dragons (also fun)
-emperors eventually
-canon breed sizes are mostly ignored
-flight ambassadors
-clan archivist, record keeper, librarian, scribe, historian, ect. who's bio is used to store wishlists and links and whatever else the owner didn't want to put in their clan bio
-born with special powers that aren't strictly canon-friendly, like shapeshifting or seeing into people's souls or dimension-hopping or speaking to elder creatures from beyond
-possessed by some supernatural force, usually the shade
-abandonment backstories
-insanity
-eccentric artists
-no flight racism, dragons of non-native elements are never suspected of being spies
-charged with/visibly full of/made of/a vessel for/ect their element (pretty sure i've done this but i don't remember where)
-lore takes either a very black-and-white-morality stance on beastclans vs dragons or none at all
-violent feral plague dragon
-undead and/or necromancer plague dragon (i used to have one but i sold him years ago)
-an ancient monster that may or may not have been sealed away centuries ago
-for some reason i've noticed this really specific thing that happens in a lot of really long-running strongly interconnected and in-depth clan lores, where there's really often this one specific character, almost always a male imperial, who's extremely powerful to the point of mildly implied to outright 4th wall breaking, who always seems to be 10 steps ahead of everyone else and know exactly what's going on, and who shows up all the time to drive the plot forwards with their supernatural powers? and they usually have kind of a smug snarky elegant chaotic chessmaster personality? i don't know what's up with that but i've seen it at least 3 different times now in unrelated clan lores of wildly varying tone. he's not a chessmaster he's just feral and has too much time on his hands okay
-rare disease
-mad scientist
-glitchy-themed dragons, bonus points if naomi descendants (BITEWAXTADPOLE is like halfway between this and XGIVEMEYOURTOESX)
-singer
-oozes fluid of some kind
-dead parents
-frazzled archivist
-ignores dragon's actual parents/offspring in favor of lore ones
-mire flyer/other designated coli dragon is a fighter/warrior of some sort
So I'm up to... 30 tropes! Based off the ones listed in the first post.
And I've also been given... Many new ideas. Lovely :3c

this thread: ok let's take a look at some fr tropes! :D
me: ok this looks fun! :D
*later*
this thread: mad scientist
me: *sideways glance to my entire clan*
also me: ... *sweats*
You called out my sentient emperor
You called out my sentient emperor
most of these are a lot of "huh yeah i've seen that" and then there were a handful that were just direct callouts lmao. at the very least i don't feel too bad about the ones that totally called me out |D
some of the tropes i totally admit to having that i didn't see on the list, plus some others i thought of while writing this:
- dragon with lore about being exalted and coming back (for whatever reason, including but not limited to "went MIA but came back" or "deity kicked them out")
- clan exalter keeping record of past clanmates
- flight reps that get along just fine (pbbbbt i don't like conflict)
- dragons that are constructs brought to life (like golems, dolls, or necromantic minions)
- permababy who Can Do No Wrong, Ever
- collection of permababies. just a pile of children. who is taking care of them
- progens'/clan leaders' adopted children
- parent/child tensions in which the child is a rebel and runs off to another part of the clan to get away from them (and parent is heartbroken)
- "ex" con artist (or anything similar) who tells everyone he's over his past but nobody believes him
- a collection of silly dragons who are their own sorta sub-group within the lair (or separate lair for those that do that)
- den dragons are background characters
