Flight Rising Discussion

i don't even know, it just... built up after a while? i was like,
"i'm in arcane right now, it'd be funny to make a tab for exclusively edgy dragons. oh, wait, i wanna join plague. maybe the edgelords should be in plague. okay so this is a village of criminals who got sick of arcane. wait, i'm sick of arcane, let me move to plague. wait, did anyone question why that one dragon broke off from the original village? um, she killed someone and got kicked out! ez! wait, what's the aftermath of that?"
it's... a chain reaction

[quote name="ArsonistFurry" date="2023-07-31 21:10:26" ] i don't even know, it just... built up after a while? [/quote] ^^ Exactly that I made decisions away from lore and tried to tie them back into lore. considerin the repercussions of any action took Originally, it was just writing backstories because those are the most fun part. Then I realized I wanted a cohesive story and accidentally let some eldritch horror seep in

Uh, have dragons, what can I do with them? I know, give them a bad time.

I do not have lore, but I want one soon [emoji=new friend size=1] I will maybe think of ideas

The shade and also this comedy skit video I saw a bit back about a daycare for monster children. My Lore is basically an orphanage for abandoned misfits monsters and myths. But also I try to make as many "shade-touched" as possible. One of mine is even a golem that the shade corrupted and had to be bound by all the magics so he wouldn't corrupt soreinth

The origin of my lore is just a joke that spiralled out of control and kept gaining lore the longer it went on.

The exact phrase that started it all is recorded in Wispy's bio!
"-And the next person to eat the carpet samples is getting THROWN OUT!"

The majority of things that gets added to my lore is simply because I think it would be funny.

Originally, anyway - Aperture Science from Portal. Just a massive, sprawling underground lab full of weirdos.

I needed to be able to do two things: one, justify why my clan is almost entirely from one subspecies, and two, why a subspecies based on clowns would be in Earth of all places (and not, say, Wind). A traveling circus founded thousands upon thousands of years ago for the express purpose of making the Earthshaker laugh seemed like a fun route to go, so I took it.

I actually have a list of my inspirations in my lore thread! I pick out bits of inspiration from a lot of different sources since I feel like it makes me more satisfied with my lore to look back on things I've read, watched, etc, and see where I got my love for a particular character archetype, story structure, or worldbuilding aesthetic, etc [quote name="Topazal" date="2020-04-24 17:51:31" ][indent][font=Palatino Linotype][u]What are your inspirations for your lore?[/u][/indent] [font=Palatino Linotype][i]Ohhh, there's a lot! I'll list them all, and specific if I'm picking from them for themes*, worldbuilding**, or characterization***: --The Magnus Archives (Themes) --Lord Bung's Confinement series (Themes) --The Six of Crows duology (Themes, Worldbuilding, and Characterization) --The Eli Monpress series (Themes, Worldbuilding, and Characterization) --Snapcube's Real-Time Fandubs (Characterization) --WayneRadioTV's Half-Life VR: Self Aware AI Saga and Half-Life: Alyx Living Gnome series (Themes and Characterization) --Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: Legend of Korra (Worldbuilding) --Homestuck (Characterization) --Undertale (Characterization) --Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural (Themes) --Car Boys by Griffin McElroy and [redacted] (Themes and Worldbuilding) --Moomin, 1990 series (Themes and Worldbuilding) --Welcome to Nightvale (Themes and Worldbuilding) --Borderlands 2 (Themes) --Skyrim (Worldbuilding) --Warrior Cats, Into The Wild and Omen of the Stars arcs (Worldbuilding) --In Space with Markiplier (Themes) --D&D (Worldbuilding) --Sally Face (Themes and Characterization) --Hello Charlotte (Themes) --The Umbrella Academy seasons 1-2 (Characterization) --Far Cry 5 (Themes) If that looks like a lot, it's because it is! I take inspiration from a lot of different sources, and then translate what I enjoy from those sources into my own style of characters, plotlines, and themes. *Themes referring to the general theme and genre of my lore! Ex: Eldritch horror. **Worldbuilding referring to more concrete worldbuilding in my lore, like the visual aesthetics of a location, the setting, political and social structures, etc. ***Characterization referring to how I write my characters! I don't "steal" characters or personalities, but I use other materials to get a deeper understanding of how to make characters feel real, how different tropes can be used, and how to write behaviors and dialogue that sounds natural.[/i][/quote]
