A secret forbidden child or sibling has been uncovered. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199]There’s [b]Romance[/b] in the air. Pick two dragons at random. They are now in a relationship.

If tails, do the backstabbing as above. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Test the Newbies[/b]. Roll a d10 for each of your lowest-level dragons. If it’s higher than their level, exalt them. They were not good enough. Raise the remaining low-level dragons by one level. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Major Heist[/b]!! This is it! Your time to shine. Roll a d12 for Every dragon. If you get higher than their level, exalt. Raise all survivors by one level. [i]Alternate Safer Heist Option[/i]: Flip a coin. Heads? the mission was a success! Instead of getting exalted on the failed role above, they simply don't gain a level. Tails? Exalt as above. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]A coup[/b]! Exalt your leader.

That dragon is now an informant for local law enforcement for at least 7 in-game days. This dragon is spared from getting caught by law enforcement and exalted, but can still be exalted for other reasons. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Fox in the henhouse.[/b] Buy the cheapest dragon off the AH. Then flip a coin. Heads, they are acting as a member of the Black Claw Family, but in reality, they work for the Shifting Sands Family. Tails, they are acting as a member of the Shifting Sands Family, but in reality, the work for the Black Claw Family. Should anything happen to this dragon, they will be outed as a spy and a [b]war[/b] will break out between the two families. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]War.[/b] The families are at war. Death streaks must now happen. Pair as many dragons as you can from each family up (1 from one family, 1 from another) and send them into the coliseum at the highest level they can go to battle. The first one to faint dies. Do this for each pair. The family who loses the least members wins. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Forbidden romance.[/b] Sadder than the Titanic, two members of the opposing families have fallen in love. If something happens to one of them, their love will be revealed and both will be killed by their families (exalted). Optionally, you can do a saving throw for them: roll a 1d12 for both and if it is higher than their current level, they can run away together and avoid exaltation... for now. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Congratulations![/b] Something great has happened in the story! Randomly choose a family for this good thing to have happened to, and they get a day off. They also get to celebrate! If you have open space in the hatchery, breed as many eligible pairs as you can. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Mourning.[/b] Something terrible has happened. Randomly choose a family for this bad thing to happen to, and they get a day off for mourning... because someone has died. Randomly pick a dragon to have died/been killed/etc and exalt them. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Rainy Day.[/b] Bad weather means nothing is happening today. Use this day to write and strengthen or weaken relationships. [*][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]Random Interaction.[/b] Pick two random dragons from a random family to have an interaction. Flip a coin: heads for positive, tails for negative. Either add/remove an Intimacy Point from their relationship based on your result. [/LIST][/quote][/indent] [color=transparent]x[/color] [color=transparent]x[/color] [indent][font=cambria][size=2][color=#547199][b]a follow up on intimacy points:[/b] each day, two dragons are chosen to interact and either gain or lose intimacy points. i'll keep track of these in a separate post. intimacy points determine who can be friends, lovers, or enemies. naturally, two enemies cannot be lovers unless their intimacy somehow increases, and dragons cannot be bred unless they are lovers (for same-sex couples unable to breed together via game mechanics, they must become lovers and then can seek out a surrogate if they land a breeding roll). a positive interaction rolled gains a point, and a negative interaction rolled loses a point. to go from neutral to friends, they need 5 positive points. to go from friends to lovers (should you choose), they need 10 positive points. to become enemies, they need 10 negative points. enemies cannot fight together, and will not work together.[/color][/size][/font][/indent]

@Nelson thank you!!! I can add you to the pinglist too if you want?

[center][emoji=dog 3 size=1][b]mun post![/b][/center] I'm a dummy dumb who forgot that you needed to level all the starting dragons so 8') bear with me while I work on that + the first story post!

[center][font=garamond][size=7][b][color=#564946]story post[/color] [color=#558564]one:[/color] [color=#564946]and so it[/color] [color=#558564]begins[/color][color=#564946].[/color][/b][/size] [size=5][color=#CEDDD8]all things[/color] [color=#CCFCCB]begin[/color] [color=#CEDDD8]as they[/color] [color=#CCFCCB]end.[/color][/size][/font][/center] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/325419375882534912/672529412117495828/Simple_divider_2.png[/img] [indent][indent][font=calibri][size=4][color=#6B6B6B]All great stories have their beginnings, and this one is no different. For as long as dragonkind has existed, so too has crime. Many see crime as a plague, an infestation that must be eradicated. Others, however -- the smart ones -- see crime as an opportunity, waiting to be taken advantage of. However, crime can only truly be successful when you do not have competition. And when you are a crime family, another crime family encroaching on your territory is the last thing you want or need. Unfortunately for the Black Claw and Shifting Sands families, that is exactly what is happening. No one knows for sure the history between Marina Samsa (leader of the Black Claw family) and Alke Von Grimmelshausen; it is as shrouded in mystery as the two dragons themselves are. One a notorious serial killer, and the other a descendant of crime bosses, one can only image what their relationship with each other must be like. Either way, one thing is clear: the two families hate each other, and would do anything if it meant seeing the other one fall. If one can manage to off the other, they would be able to take control of the fallen one's entire territory and criminal franchise. Essentially, they could be living a life of luxury, if they knew what they were doing with it, of course. Naturally, empires come with enemies, and inheriting the territory would mean inheriting the enemies as well... but that's a risk they're all willing to take. The real question everyone is asking, regardless of whose side they are on, is: who will win? And how? That is the question this story seeks to answer.[/color][/size][/font][/indent][/indent] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/325419375882534912/672587523171680256/tiny_divider.png[/img] [font=cambria][color=#564946][b]focus dragons:[/b] none.

[center][sup]I am super excited to see how the two gangs interact and their fate! I'm not sure who I'm rooting for yet, but I think I might be a bit biased towards the Black Claw [emoji=spiral tongue size=1][/center]
