Something something, I need to write lore, have way too many dragons to write it for, and I'm taking on [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2823161#post_2823161]Firoz Taverbi's biolocke challenge[/url], or something like that.
It's half past midnight, I'm exhausted, and definitely not thinking clearly.
I will add the rest of the posts/setup in the morning... probably.
-edit-
Okay, now that's it's not the middle of the night, welcome friend! This here's my attempt to get all the dragon bios filled out with lore and such. ^^ I happened upon Firoz's biolocke thread, and thought it sounded like an excellent idea, as I have a love of 'lockes.
So, I am simplifying/modifying the rules slightly to better fit my bio template that I made, and the information that I use to fill them in. If you should happen to like what's going on here, feel free to chat~ I am happy to talk about lore, characters, and the like. ^^ Thanks for stopping by! o/

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.
The following key will be used for progress:
[emoji=gloom tile size=1] - Section incomplete
[emoji=glimmer tile size=1] - Section complete
(This style of progress tracker borrowed from [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2839152]arywyvern's biolocke[/url].)
[emoji=insect size=1][emoji=meat size=1] [size=5][b]Food - Profile[/size][/b] [emoji=plant size=1][emoji=seafood size=1][/center]
This is the dragon's "fact sheet" - basic information about them. The type of food determines the information added to the profile:
[b]Meat [/b]- Song lyrics, artist, title, youtube link
[b]Seafood [/b]- Title buttons: division, role in the clan, nickname, former name, charge, etc.
[b]Insect [/b]- Quote! Can either be from the dragon, or one that describes them.
[b]Plant[/b] - Mate and Familiar info/links
[b]If a dragon has no name/song, adding one or both of these takes precedence![/b]

This is a section of writing that describes the dragon's personality, beliefs, or other important things about who they are as a person. Relationships can also be included in this section, such as family ties or rivalries. The rarity of the material item determines the minimum number of words that must be written:
[emoji=star size=1] - 50 words
[emoji=star size=1][emoji=star size=1] - 100 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] - 1000 words
[center][emoji=bestiary size=1] [size=5][b]Familiar - Art[/size][/b] [emoji=bestiary size=1][/center]
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!
[i]--Alternatively, I can make a dragon's entire bio instead of art for this pull, because a finished bio is a beautiful thing! ;D--[/i]
[center][emoji=apparel helm size=1] [size=5][b]Apparel - Outfit or Genes[/size][/b] [emoji=Apparel Helm size=1][/center]
Choose your fate:
[LIST]
[*]Plan an outfit or gene plan for a dragon
[*]Add a new gene to a dragon
[*]Add an expensive apparel piece to a dragon with an outfit plan
[*]Purchase and add several cheap apparel pieces to a dragon with an outfit plan
[*]Dress a naked/mostly naked dragon in a full outfit from whatever I have in my hoard at the time. Get creative! Maybe it will help with lore! (That's what happened to Blacksand, in any case...)
[/LIST]
[center][emoji=Coliseum Team size=1] [size=5][b]Battle Item - BBCoding[/size][/b] [emoji=Coliseum Team size=1][/center]
Add the corresponding elemental bio template to a dragon's bio who currently lacks one.
[i]If all dragons have the template already, use this day as a free space- take a break, write a piece of lore that you've had in your head for a while, or just monkey around with outfits. Whatever feels right![/i]
[center][emoji=star size=1] [size=5][b]Trinket - Narrative[/size][/b] [emoji=star size=1][/center]
This is a section of narrative writing that chronicles 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:
[emoji=star size=1] - 50 words
[emoji=star size=1][emoji=star size=1] - 100 words
[emoji=star size=1][emoji=star size=1][emoji=star size=1] - 250 words

(Inspired by[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2827399/1] littletoes101's Biolocke[/url] - 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.
I will be pulling Pinkerton's item daily, as well as Crim's first round of 5 items each day to record in the backlog post. If I want to add extra 'days', I must use these first, in order from oldest to newest, before pulling any new Crim items.

I am doing this as a low-key push to add lore, and as such, am not going to punish myself if irl is crazy and so I cannot write for a day or five.
