:: The Challenge ::
So I’ve heard about several different challenges that other users tend to do, and being an avid gamer who really likes to play things on hard mode and just suffer as much as possible, I figured, why not Nuzlocke myself and make Flight Rising as tricky as possible!

:: The FAQ ::
This section is just for me to leave possible questions I may anticipate people will ask, or be for me to answer questions that might come up along the road, just in case others need it for reference.

:: Pre-Answered Questions ::
Q: Did you pick Banefather's first two colors/gender for any particular reason?
A: No. The initial colors I chose in the end placed no bearing on the final goal other than I just liked them. The only deciding factor was to pick two colors that were NOT similar, and hope that Blightmother was the same. And Gender simply did not matter regardless.

Q: Did you pick Banescales for any particular reason?
A: Nope. I picked them only because they look really cool!

Q: Do you have any strategy for trying to get specific combinations?
A: Not necessarily. I know of strategies that I could use, but for now, the early game is simply to knock out very, very broad combinations to see if I can narrow down my necessities, so that later, I can fill in gaps with more specific breed pairs.

Q: Do you plan on selling any of the dragons?
A: Not right now. Perhaps later, when the lair begins to fill to the brim, to a point that exalting or selling are the only options left, but beyond that, I will try to keep as many of successes and failures as possible. It's purely a name bloodline thing. I don't want to risk it.

Q: But I want one!!!!
A: No.

Q: Why this? How? Do you hate yourself?
A: Because. Though willpower and lack of life. Immensely.

A wegg isn't exactly a good omen. :^) Anticipating that as I go along, getting what I am looking for will get both easier and harder all at the same time. Planning breedings around colors shouldn't be the hardest part. Waiting for the right eyes, however? Yikes. Here is hoping this isn't the beginning of a wegg chain.
