[center][b][u]AIM[/u]:[/b] Provide unique bios with custom graphics for each of my lore dragons, whilst simultaneously improving how to code and the quality of my graphics and provide incentive to write down the lore I have in mind.[/center]
This is a personal little journey of mine that I want to document and share! Of course, we all know there are plentiful resources on FR on bio templates, graphic resources, tons of shops providing adoptables etc, but I wanted to craft something I could call my own. That I could look back on and say “ – Yeah, I wrote that!” or “I designed that!”
Not only that, but those that follow this quest along with me will be given tons of free code to use and even customized graphics just for them for their own dragon bio’s! It doesn’t matter if I work on my own bio’s or someone elses – it still improves my skill!
This quest is an open one. Please feel free to comment, critique, suggest code or graphic challenges, whatever!
Yellow squares indicate graphic placement + size. They're placeholders to be replaced.

Alright! Let's kick it off with Undomiel. Working on code for her page is what honestly inspired me to make this challenge. So we can thank this no-nonsene lady for this. I'm sure she'd be proud, personal quests and challenges are right up her alley.
This is for all those who love a long bio and text dump. I shall call this one..

It seems pretty minimal at the end of the day.. maybe I'll start adding unicode and flairs? Who knows. Not bad for a first attempt, I think. I'm too embarrassed to admit how long it took.

Free to use!
Legends say that most of the realm's amber was formed in an ancient battle between the Flamecaller and the Gladekeeper, where terrible forest fires polymerized resin within the trees in the Viridian Labyrinth.

Sekhmet is up next, and when I said I wanted to do a shorter, minimalist bio, apparently it meant I was going to scream at columns for the last hour or so. Again, embarrassingly long time to figure stuff out.

I feel beneath my skin a brimming hysteria. I hold down the CTRL + V, wondering if I could reach an infinitum amount of columns. What is our purpose? What are we doing here? Is the meaning of life hidden within these columns?
Or, as I like say, I discover you can create sub columns and this all spawned because I wanted the text to be right of the icon template. Oh my goodness and heavens above. It's so simple in hindsight. Why did it take me so long to make this. Look at the code. Look how tiny it is. Yet look at the time.
I am starting to regret this challenge. But I learned something today. The columns have not beaten me.

I didn't feel much like doing Sekhmet's graphics yet, so instead I worked on another compact bio template. Next time I think I'll go for a much longer one so it kicks me into putting more in their bio.

Also known as "Fun with [ Rule ]"
A bio or set of graphics must be done once per 3 days. The three-day gap allows me some lee-way time as well as give me time to come up with a layout idea, test it out, tweak it, or even edit it after it’s considered “complete.”
