My current lore is dynamic, meaning that it changes and adapts every few months. It's great! I love it and I love making my lore feel very alive. ...however, it means that a LOT of my bios and lore that I've got floating around is very outdated. Which is obviously a problem! [color=#eeeeee]______[/color]The most recent lore event that my clan, The Tempest Order, went through, was a sandstorm of never before seen magnitudes. It separated a lot of dragons from the main clan and destroyed a great deal of their equipment - including almost everything at the stationary outpost that they'd begun to form. Although many were skeptical that this would mean the end of the Agriden project, it has resulted in the opposite. The nomadic clan is rebuilding itself, but a large amount of funds has also been dedicated to their permanent outpost in the Agriden as well. [color=#eeeeee]______[/color]Most importantly, the Tempest Order has broken off into two groups: A majority of the Mirrors, who will continue to roam nomadically and do mercenary work, and the rest of the clan, who will stay in the Agriden and make a permanent home there. So, I'll be writing everybody's bios up to this point following the storm -- where they are when the dust clears and life must go on.

Rules
The rules are tangentially related to the classic Pinkerlocke: each daily item pulled from Pinkerton's Plundered Pile dictates which action is done that day. An RNG will be used to determine which dragon's bio gets updated. Some rules have been changed, some have been added.
Food - Profile
This is the dragon's "fact sheet" - basic information about them. This can be prose or a sidebar, whatever works. The type of food determines the information added to the profile:
- Three words or a short quote to describe dragon's personality
- Describe the dragon's role in the clan
- One strength, one weakness
- Favourite item(s)
If a dragon has no name, naming the dragon takes precedence.
Material or Trinket - Lore
This is a section of prose either telling the dragon's backstory or a short story about their daily lives. The rarity of the trinket item determines the minimum number of words that must be written:

- Flavor text
- Personality
- History
- Personality or History (My choice)
- Personality and History
- Feature them in a Tale from the Tempest Order
Familiar - Art
Order or draw a piece of art for a dragon. This must be started on the day the familiar is picked up, but doesn't have to be finished. Art takes time!
Apparel - Outfit or Genes
Plan an outfit or gene plan for a dragon, or add a new gene or apparel piece to a dragon with an outfit or gene plan. Since most dragons have genes and outfits, this category isn't determined by the RNG.
Battle Item - BBCoding
Tidy up a dragon's bio using an existing bio template or by creating your own.
Crim Rules
(Taken from littletoes101's Biolocke - thank you for the idea!)
Missed days can be made up for, or extra "days" can be added, to the Biolocke using items requested at Crim's Collection Cart, using the same rules for each item listed above. Trading an item with Crim allows you to skip this item unless you are making up for missed days.
Leveling
Another thing I have a vested interest in is leveling all* my dragons to 25! This won't be a quick or easy process, so I'll be doing it in sections! First, I'd like everyone to be at level 5, then 10, then 15, 20, and 25. So, every week the five lowest levels in the clan will go into the coliseum and level up to the next increment (or more, if I feel like it!). At the end of the week, I'll report a chart with the final levels of everyone in the clan!

*Currently, this rule does not apply to anyone in the hibernal den, as I don't want to go through the hassle of wait times.

This spreadsheet contains all relevant information, with the final sheet being dedicated to the various charts I'd like to make. I will soon be updating this post with the starting statistics of the clan, and at the end of every week there'll be an update post that catches up anyone that doesn't want to look on a spreadsheet!
