I'll copy-paste @littletoes101 directions for the most of this since they're the person who originally inspired me. ----- [quote name="littletoes101" date="2020-02-29 03:36:24" ] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/spo53ay6wmoqf5k/lighttop2.png[/img][/center] This is basically just a challenge to get me to freaking stop procrastinating on doing my lore! I've cut it down into simple steps in an attempt to get over my executive dysfunction (which by the way is an awful disorder/symptom, kudos to you if you have it and you write lore/don't write lore because it sucks). [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jmvs3yfaa98n683/lightmid2.png[/img][/center] [color=transparent]xxxxx[/color]I'm giving every dragon a [b]name based on the naming system I've come up with[/b], which will be posted here eventually. [color=transparent]xxxxx[/color]Every dragon will have a biography with the following segments [i]at the very least[/i]. What will word count be decided with? You'll see. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/htv6w2vovxbszsi/lightmidsmall2.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent]- An information segment with name meaning and origin, gender, sexuality, approximate age, zodiac information, personality type, and basic stats (agility, charisma, intelligence, strength, speed, stamina, magic, religion). - An Early Life/Life Before the Rift segment. - A Rift segment (my lore essentially takes place in a multiverse and it's in a place called The Crossroads, it'll make more sense later but basically, a bunch of universes mixed together). - A Partner segment (information on the partner they were assigned after The Rift). - A Relationships segment with at least two relationships (friendly, enemies, mates, whatever). - A Family segment with family members within the Clan/outside of the Clan who are lore-important. - A Magic segment with their Crossroads-specific magic style (there's a lot to this I won't get into but it's based on the gender alignment/gender element system, it's pretty cool actually). - A Trivia segment with at least 3 pieces of trivia about them. - And last but not least, a Danganronpa-inspired segment where I list their most loved/liked gifts of items from Flight Rising, as well as their responses when given those things. Note that this is subject to change, but this is how it's planned for now. They will also need a [b]bio code[/b] and [b]at least one outfit[/b] and, for gen ones/ungened dragons, [b]at least one gene plan[/b].[/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/htv6w2vovxbszsi/lightmidsmall2.png[/img][/center] [color=transparent]xxxxx[/color]If I intentionally miss a day (as in I was too lazy to do it that day), I will send 5,000 treasure to my good friend @bugaloo here on Flight Rising. I do this because I'm not rich but I also need incentive to actually do these things. (Sorry for the ping boo boo but hey, ya gotta see this too). [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jmvs3yfaa98n683/lightmid2.png[/img][/center] [center][b]Emoji Code Guide[/b][/center] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/htv6w2vovxbszsi/lightmidsmall2.png[/img][/center] I'll be using emojis to note the completion of each segment. Not Started: [emoji=phoenix feather size=1] Incomplete: [emoji=gear size=1] Complete: [emoji=scroll 2 size=1] Posted: [emoji=heart size=1] Not Needed: [emoji=skull size=1] this is only for the gene/apparel section if the dragon already has genes/an outfit The ever-so-special short story segments get an emoji guide too! What's the short story segment? It's coming. Not Started: [emoji=bell size=1] Planned: [emoji=peacock feather size=1] Started Writing: [emoji=seashell size=1] Finished Writing: [emoji=old parchment size=1] Posted: [emoji=book size=1] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jmvs3yfaa98n683/lightmid2.png[/img][/center] [center][b]Word Count Determination[/b][/center] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/htv6w2vovxbszsi/lightmidsmall2.png[/img][/center] So, you may be asking, what determines how many words you write for each section at minimum, Little? And to that, I have to give thanks to @FirozTaverbi for their amazing [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2823161/1]Biolocke[/url] format. I kinda changed it around a lil bit to better fit my challenge specifically, but the basics are about the same. Essentially, [b]pulls from Pinkerton determine the baseline challenge for the day[/b], and if I get that finished, [b]pulls from Crim determine the extra challenges for the day[/b]. [b]Pulls[/b] This covers all pulls, whether they be from Crim or from Pinkerton. While Pinkerton pulls must be done each day and cannot be skipped, you have the option of skipping a maximum of two Crim pulls a day should you decide to do Crim. [b]However,[/b] if you have the item she's asking for and you sell it to her, you can skip that item's requirements without it counting towards your daily limit. [u]Food[/u] [emoji=insect size=1] 100 words. [emoji=meat size=1] 200 words. [emoji=plant size=1] 300 words. [emoji=seafood size=1] 400 words. [LIST] [*]If the item pulled has a rating of [emoji=rainbow star 1 size=1], then add an additional 400 words. [*][b]If I feel as though the section alone should not be that long, and is better with fewer words, I am obligated to put the remaining words into another segment.[/b] Meaning if the "General Overview" gets done, but the word count isn't, the remaining words are written in another segment. [/LIST] [u]Material or Trinket[/u] [emoji=star size=1] 100 words. [emoji=star size=1] [emoji=star size=1] 150 words. [emoji=star size=1] [emoji=star size=1] [emoji=star size=1] 250 words. [emoji=star size=1] [emoji=star size=1] [emoji=star size=1] [emoji=star size=1] 400 words. [emoji=rainbow star 1 size=1] 600 words. [LIST] [*]Same rules apply as above. [/LIST] [u]Familiar[/u] [emoji=bestiary size=1] Roll a 10-sided die. Multiply your result by 100. That's the amount you need to write. [LIST] [*]Same rules apply as above. [/LIST] [u]Apparel[/u] [emoji=sword and shield size=1] Aww guess what buddy? You get to do a short story segment! Read on to see what that means. [LIST] [*]Same rules apply as above. [/LIST] [u]Battlestone/Battle Item[/u] [emoji=eliminate size=1] Guess what, buttercup? That's right, a battlestone means you've got to do a minimum of [b]two[/b] segments on a dragon today. To determine your word count, roll a 100-sided die. Multiply that by 10. That's how many words you need to write [b]in total[/b]. I'm not completely heartless. [LIST] [*]Same rules apply as above. [/LIST] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jmvs3yfaa98n683/lightmid2.png[/img][/center] [center][b]Short Story Segment[/b][/center] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/htv6w2vovxbszsi/lightmidsmall2.png[/img][/center] So if you pull a familiar, you get to do a short story segment! That means you get to write a short story/drabble/whatever [b]not connected to your dragon's bio[/b] today. To determine the length of the short story, do the following: [b]roll a 100-sided die and multiply the result by 100 if it is less than 50, and by 10 if it is more than 50.[/b] Dragons who get short stories will have the [emoji=comment size=1] emoji listed beneath them for each story they have done.

Additionally, I'll be linking a view-able google docs sheet where I'll be updating as time goes to keep all of my progress in one area! Also, to give myself motivation, I'll be donating a gem to a random person if I purposely don't do my thing that day. (I don't have a lot of friends who are active anymore rip) It's this way because you gain a gem everyday- but I'll only allow myself to keep it if I continue my challenge.

[center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4tanp5y4tyh09yi/shadowtop.png[/img][/center] [center][size=5][font=Gabriola]P I N G L I S T[/size][/font][/center] [center] @littletoes101 [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/zm9cim6xw0oxgcb/shadowmidsmall2.png[/img][/center] [/center] [quote][center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4tanp5y4tyh09yi/shadowtop.png[/img] [size=4]"Humble Beginnings" - A 2 part tale[/size][/center] [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]The sun was warm on the fae’s face, the bright ball of light in the sky was radiating the gentleness that illuminated the gorgeous and expansive blue sky. The wind was gentle and the wind blew over her scales as her fins fluttered in the wind. Her large eyes, normally open, were closed as she basked in the sunlight. Yes, it was beautiful. The world could be seen from here, at the top of the sunbeam pillars. It was beautiful. [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]However, far below her, dragons swarmed about the Lightweaver, tending to her needs as she requests it. Scribes were common here, and so were archaeologists. The study never ended as new things were discovered daily- and then there were scribes who documented the life of the hundreds of clans within each domain. Things always progressed, and where there is progression- there will be documentation. [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]However, Cynder decided today would be the day she would take a walk. A small travel, with a pouch full of dried delicacies, would do best to clear her mind. She was having trouble concentrating on scribing. Closing her eyes, she stood and started her way towards the trading post where she would look at wondrous items displayed in the trade posts. Her eyes drifted upwards and she took off, drifting on the wind like a butterfly. The wind blew her up into the sky and she smiled, feeling the wind against her fins. [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]The fly there was short, and it wasn’t long until the trading post was revealed. She tilted her wings downward to glide gracefully towards the grass. Upon landing, she trotted slightly, to conserve her motion and not hurt her claws. She stretched, before pulling back and huffing out slightly. Yes, today was a good day. A beautiful day. Her eyes landed on the stalls and stalls of dragons showing off their handcrafted goods and she hummed. In particular, some shiny jewelry. [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]She breathed in the air, tasting the sweet baked goods and flowery fragrances drifting with the wind. She folded her fins inward as she inhaled deeply, and let them spring outward as she exhaled. Joy crossed her face and she hummed happily- a trait not so very common among Fae. Many were unable to express their emotions through tone of voice- but somehow, Cynder could. She didn’t mind, the ability only made her more special. She wondered the posts, browsing the wares and other items, before coming across the lovely selection of colored ribbons. In the back of her mind, she began to think about how these sparkling sashes could make dazzling Brightshine decorations. [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]Her eyes met with the Guardian running it, he too a dazzling golden color. His scales almost seemed to reflect the light that bounced, scattering the rays around him much like a prism. He smiled, charmingly, as Cynder approached. She eyed him more, fluttering up to perch on his wooden stand. He was from the light domain- or at least born there. His eyes were a deep amber gold, pools of the stuff, and the brilliant gold of his scales also matched his beard. His smile was a stark contrast with the pearly silver teeth. [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]“Hello, welcome to River’s Ribbon Raffle. May I interest you in purchasing tickets? This week’s raffle is three baskets of golden ribbons, just in time for Brightshine.” [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]Cynder giggled lightly. A raffle? Man, this ‘River’ must make serious treasure off the idea. Perhaps she should humor her, if the proceeds go to the Light Domain that is. “Oh, how quite convincing, how many have entered?” [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]“You’ll be the fifteenth, miss…” [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]“Cynder.” [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]“Miss Cynder.” The guardian flashed a smile. “I hope Lightweaver bids you luck.” [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]Cynder hummed. “Yes, indeed.” She clawed through her pockets before grasping a few bits of treasure, 50 pieces, and handed it over. “But I must ask, what is your name?” Cynder batted her eyes and fins, purring slightly. “So I may recommend this place to others, both by stall and attendant name?” [color=transparent]xxxx[/color]“Veyek.” He stated with a toothy grin. “My name is Veyek.” [color=transparent]x x x x[/color] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1bc2oq2d0ad15a8/shadowmidsmall.png[/img][/center][/quote] [center][size=1]Can be found [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=394273&tab=dragon&did=52297223]here.[/url] or on the Google Doc.[/center][/size] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ven9gmk4qi14dr5/shadowbottom2.png[/img][/center]

Because of the exposure to magical radiation if his Arcanic background, Lynx was born with two large buck-like horn extensions sprouting inches above his antennae. This led to complications, the skydancer having to learn how to operate around them. He took the nagging, discrimination and name-calling in stride without falter. As a young adult, though, he walked away briskly from his clan as the pursuit of scholars to find survivors. He developed many quirks- one of which was deflecting and defending himself by aimlessly flirting with other dragons. This has, honestly, led himself to many-a difficult situation… Like in a fistfight with a Guardian protecting his mate who later invited him into the Bleka’s Wings clan.

In fact, when he first joined Belka’s Wings, he was insulted by Cynder’s intense care before realizing that was just how she was. Now, after placing dominance being the fastest hunter Elpida has ever seen- he partnered with Cynder’s son to create the Hunter’s Order. In reality, he made this encampment in the tangled growth of the Shadow domain to provide a safehouse for the unusual and weird. Those who weren’t so confident in their abilities- or if they were just socially awkward in general. Here, they are given a job, be it gatherer, farmer or hunter. They are given a home, and membership to a smaller niche in the bigger community. When he isn’t issuing orders or asking his apprentice, Ellie, to make schedules, he travels back to Enclave to see what’s been happening while he was gone. Mostly, though, to check into the bivouac to see if Eria, his longest-time love interest, was okay.[/center][/quote] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ven9gmk4qi14dr5/shadowbottom2.png[/img][/center]
