[center][b][size=6]Run, Rabbit, Run[/size] [size=4]A Survival Pinkerlocke Challenge[/size][/b][/center] Hello ! I've been getting a bit bored with regular coli grinding lately, so I decided to check out what exactly the Pinkerlocke Challenge that I've been hearing about is and, well, I'm intrigued ! Of course, I'll be adding and subtracting any rules to the original found [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1904162]here[/url] ! Now, what kind of story do I want to make out of this Pinkerlocke ? Well, a [b]zombie apocalypse[/b], of course ! The dragons chosen for this challenge will be put in a world overrun by zombies (enemies in the coli) where one wrong move can lead to infection and death. It will also serve to be a sort of survival game as well, where each drop gained in the coli will be added to the dragon's inventory, which I'll be keeping track of. This will include everything from food (the only way these dragons will be able to eat), materials, trinkets, apparel, battle items, familiars (who will serve as domesticated zombies in this universe), etc. [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [center][b][size=4]Rules & Adjustments[/size][/b][/center] Most of the rules below are from the original Pinkerlocke rule set, with some additions and subtractions. If something is strikethroughed, it means I've revised the rule since starting the Pinkerlocke. Major changes will be discussed below. [b]Basics :[/b] [indent]~ If a dragon dies in the coliseum, they are dead and must be exalted. [indent]~Add on rule : If one dragon dies in the coliseum during a food match, no other dragon will die for the remaining matches. Substitute the dead dragon and finish the matches.[/indent] ~ Activity for the day depends on what item is pulled from Pinkerton's Plundered Pile. ~ [s]All loot[/s] Food points obtained in the coli and via Pinkerton will be added to an inventory. Dragons will only be able to eat from this inventory. [s]They will be able to craft new items with the ones they have via Swipps' Swap Stand and / or the Cauldron, but only if the Pinkerton item pulled for that day is a trinket item.[/s] The only material and trinket items that will be recorded in the inventory are those picked from Pinkerton or are rare drops in the coli. ~ If a dragon runs out of energy, they are dead and must be exalted. ~ If a dragon reaches level 25, they can "retire" and be exempt from being chosen for a coli team.[/indent] [b]Drops of Fate :[/b] [indent][b]Food[/b] [indent][indent] [emoji=plant size=1] Plants : 10-20 matches [emoji=insect size=1] Insects : 20-30 matches [emoji=seafood size=1] Seafood : 30-40 matches [emoji=meat size=1] Meat : 40-50 matches[/indent] Select a coli team via random number generator, then select the venue which corresponds to the highest level dragon on that team. Stay in that level for the whole day. You may flee any battle at any time to regain health.[/indent] [b]Materials[/b] [indent]Do some writing for your Pinkerlocke. How do your dragons change and develop ? What are your dragons like personality-wise ? How do they get along? How do they die ? Is there an antagonist in this Pinkerlocke, or are they merely struggling against the forces of nature ?[/indent] [b]Trinkets[/b] [indent][s]Inventory day for your dragons. Write them evaluating their stock of everything [s]and / or creating new items[/s]. If they find that they are low on anything, they may choose to venture out into the coli for more, for however long they dare. You can choose exactly which dragons, venue, and how many matches they will go through.[/s] [b]Training Day[/b]. Pick your three lowest leveled dragons and go through a low level venue until they have all leveled up at least once.[/indent] [b]Familiars[/b] [indent]Buy the cheapest dragon in the AH of a specific breed. Use a random number generator to determine which breed you will get. Attach the gained familiar to this dragon. [indent]1. Fae 2. Guardian 3. Mirror 4. Pearlcatcher 5. Ridgeback 6. Tundra 7. Spiral 8. Imperial 9. Snapper 10. Wildclaw 11. Nocturne 12. Coatl 13. Skydancer 14. Bogsneak 15. Obelisk 16. Gaoler 17. Banescale 18. Veilspun 19. Aberration 20. Undertide 21. Aether 22. Sandsurge 23. Aurabora 24. Dusthide[/indent][/indent] [b]Apparel[/b] [indent]Breed two of your dragons. Pick the two dragons by using a random number generator. If the chosen dragons cannot breed for whatever reason, pick two dragons from the AH via the "familiar" rules, making sure that they are RTB and can breed with each other. If using the second method, exalt the parents after the eggs hatch. When the eggs hatch, flip a coin. Heads, keep the hatchling. Tails, exalt them. Attach the gained apparel piece to the oldest surviving hatchling. If no hatchlings survive or if they are unable to wear apparel, the apparel piece goes into the main inventory for any dragon to use.[/indent] [b]Battle Items[/b] [indent]Flip a coin. Heads, perform a death streak. Tails, your dragons escape before the hoard can get to them and are safe. If heads : Pick three dragons via random number generator and put them through 10 consecutive matches in the venue which corresponds to the highest leveled dragon on that team. Do not stop until the 10 matches are over or one of your dragons die.[/indent][/indent] [b]To Start[/b] [indent]Obtain 3 adult dragons from the AH via the rules set under a familiar drop of fate. Name them all if they are unnamed.[/indent] [b]Loss Condition[/b] [indent]End the challenge when all dragons die.[/indent] [center][b][size=4]Clarifications[/size][/b][/center] Of course, these rules are subject to change because I don't even know if this style of playing will work. I might edit the food and energy rule out if it becomes too difficult and ends up killing all my dragons early on ^^; The main reason for the changes I have made was to focus heavily on the survival aspect of this universe, something that appeals to me the most about zombie apocalypse media. And thus was born the inventory ! As for the changes in the "apparel" rules, I like the idea of my dragons happening upon an abandoned nest and trying to keep the eggs alive, hence the reason for getting random dragons off of the AH and exalting them right after. Less relating to the lore of this universe is my main reason for changing the requirements of a "trinket" day, and that reason is that I'm not an artist and I think trying to draw my dragons in any way would not end well ^^; [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] Dragons who are to be exalted, especially under the "apparel" rule, will probably be up for grabs in this thread for a limited time, so watch out for that ! If anyone else would like to try this version of rules for Pinkerlocke, feel free to use ! I'd only appreciate a little bit of credit if you copy my rules :> [center][b]There will be a broad trigger warning for gore and violence typical of that found in zombie apocalypse media for most of this Pinkerlocke ! I don't think it'll be too intense, but precede with caution nonetheless if this kind of stuff triggers you ![/b][/center]

No one knows exactly how it started, only that it began with contradicting rumors popping up all across Sornieth.

Some dragons claimed to happen upon beasts ordinarily strong enough to kill a Snapper with one swipe, lying weak and limp on the ground, as if heavy from some unknown illness. Others claimed skittish creatures who would usually run from any and all threats now sprinted towards dragons wandering by their territory, hackles raised, and even after taking several blows, they would rise again as though their throats were not ripped out by sharp claws and strong jaws. The only thing most dragons could agree on was this :

Something was very wrong with the creatures of Sornieth.

Soon, more worrisome rumors began to emerge.


If you even touched a beast laden with sickness, you, too, will die within the week, someone would whisper.

No, no, another would say, that's only if you try and eat them. No matter if it's raw or burnt to a crisp, you'll perish just as they did.

The . . . the creatures . . . They won't die. I've seen it, I've seen it ! There were only a few of them by the border when I saw them attack a flight of dragons. It should have been easy, it should have been over as soon as it started ! But . . . but they just kept getting up. And- and the dragons, they were covered in blood, from head to tail. I . . . I had to get out of there.

I heard about that, too ! I heard the group managed to escape, but a few days later they came down with a sickness and died from it. No one would tell me what kind, though . . .

Could it be . . . ? Could it be the same illness that has been killing the other creatures ? Do you think those beasts are carrying it as well ?

Ridiculous. How can one illness kill some creatures so quickly while preventing others from dying at all ?!


The dragons of Sornieth had no time to piece it all together.

Almost as quickly as it started, practically all creatures and beasts living in Sornieth either perished or gained the unnatural ability to withstand most fatal wounds. By the time dragons figured out that the best way to put these second kinds of creatures down was by beheading them entirely, it was too late for most of Sornieth.

Clans stretching from Dragonhome to the Shifting Expanse, even the Southern Icefield, were wiped out as massive hoards of rapid beasts slaughtered anything and everything in their path.

Still, there were some survivors; dragons who were lucky enough to outrun a hoard, dragons who sacrificed others in order to buy time and escape, dragons who worked together to fight back long enough to slip through the hoard's defenses.

They survived by running for their lives, but can they run forever ?




And there's our prologue for this Pinkerlocke ! Just as a heads up, I have not read really any of the official lore of Flight Rising, so don't expect too much, if any, of that to pop up in here. Instead, I'll be writing most of my own lore for different dragons, Elemental Clans, and interactions between them.

Speaking of which, one of the most important things regarding Elemental Clans are the rivalries between some. Below is a list of the Elemental Clans and their rivals :


Most dragons of a certain Element will act hostile to a dragon from the Elemental Clan which rivals their's. Of course, there may be some outliers when it comes to this depending on a dragon's personality and personal background with other Elemental Clans.

And because I myself am in Arcane, this Pinkerlocke will take place in the Starfall Isles, and all hatchlings will be Arcane dragons.


This section may expand as other important information regarding lore for this universe comes to light as the Pinkerlocke progresses.

zombies

<.<

@Tynethyne loll it wont be actual zombies of course, just heavily inspired by zombie apocalypse media :>

All right, I think that's everything and I'm ready to start ! I'll probably officially pull the first item from Pinkerton tomorrow :>

Right now, we have the lore and prologue of the story up, along with the basic rules and our starting dragons themselves. To help come up with personalities and backstories, as well as get me at least a little attached to them before throwing them into the coli, I've shuffled my liked songs playlist on Spotify and assigned each dragon a theme song, choosing specific lyrics from that song to highlight who they are. That's all I'll be giving away about them, however, and the rest will hopefully come up in the story ! If they don't and die before spilling, I'll probably write a small snippet about it in the end notes of the day.

If anyone has any questions about how this Pinkerlocke will work, or if you want to be added to a pinglist (for daily updates, or just for when dragons may be up for adoption to save them from exaltation, or whatever you may want to be pinged for), just leave a message in the thread ! No need to ping, as I'm subscribed :>

Anyway, we'll see how this goes, and hope we don't lose anyone tomorrow before we even get to know them !

[center][b]Day 1[/b] [item=display frills] Material : Write ~~~~~~~~~~~~ [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/61964042][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/619641/61964042p.png[/img][/url][/center] Doomy hasn't seen another dragon in so long, that when she hears the sound of beating wings drawing closer, her first thought is, [i]Ah, the beasts have finally come for me.[/i] And so, before she can see whatever creature it is that will be her inevitable downfall, she closes her eyes and waits for the first slash of frenzied claws to strike her. The strike never comes. "Excuse me?" a soft voice asks. It's too close, too sudden. Doomy jerks back, flailing in a way that has her gemstones rub painfully against each other. Her eyes snap open and she squints at the creature before her. [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/39515954][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/395160/39515954p.png[/img][/url][/center] It takes Doomy a moment to realize she's not looking at a creature at all, but a small female tundra. Her colors consist of cool purples and blues, and it makes Doomy think of the Starwood Strand, of its trees blooming under the moonlight [i](when was the last time she went?)[/i]. She blinks and squints again to try and discern the tundra's eye color, which Elemental Clan she may be from. She can't see the exact shade, only that it seems to be some form of green, or maybe yellow. She's not from the Starfall Isles, nor is she from Dragonhome. It's enough for her to relax her defensive stance. [i](For now)[/i] The tundra smiles. "Hello," she says, as if Doomy hadn't been about to rip her face off just a moment before, "I am looking for some dragons. Have you seen any other Wind tundras around lately?" "You're from the Windswept Plateau?" Doomy asks before she can stop herself. ". . .Yes," the tundra says after a moment. From her tone, she must think that's obvious. And maybe it would be, if not for the fact that Doomy- "Have you seen any?" She blinks. "Who are you looking for?" The smile falters, and when it comes back there's a hint of sharpness to it. "Two Wind tundras," is all she says. It seems to be all she will say. "No," Doomy answers. [i]I haven't seen a dragon in weeks,[/i] she doesn't say. [i]Not a living one, anyway.[/i] "Two Wind faes, then?" "No," she says again. The smile finally falls from her face entirely. "Ah, I see." The tundra nods once at her, then turns around and extends her wings. In her mind's eye, Doomy sees this tundra leave, sees her fly off into the distance and disappear in the clouds. She sees herself sitting here, the same spot she's been sitting in for who knows how long, in an all consuming silence that will only be broken when a hoard inevitably finds her, and she has to chosen between running again, or accepting the fate that has fallen upon every dragon she has ever known. And she's been getting so tired of running. Before she can think better of it, Doomy takes a step forward and says, "Wait." The tundra pauses, then lowers her wings, throwing Doomy a glance over her shoulder in a silent question. She says the first thing that comes to her mind, "If you came here from the Windswept Plateau, you must be tired. You . . . you can stay here and rest, for the night." [i]Maybe for longer,[/i] a small voice in the back of her head whispers, but she holds back from repeating it. She doesn't want to scare her off. There's a moment of silence as the tundra glances around the clearing. There's nothing around except them, some large rocks, and the cliff faces Focal Point is known for. "Are there any hoards nearby?" She doesn't exactly know the answer, but she still shakes her head. "I haven't seen any creature around since I came here. It's why I haven't gone to another part of Focal Point yet." The tundra hums. Another moment passes, before she finally turns back around and inclines her head. "All right, then. For the night." Doomy lets out a breath she didn't know she had been holding and offers up a small, shaky smile. "Okay. I'm Doomy." "I am Runaa." "Runaa," she repeats, mostly to herself. It fits. "It's nice to meet you, Runaa." The smile blooms again on Runaa's face, and this time, it almost seems genuine. "Likewise." [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] And Day 1 is complete ! I'll admit I was a bit scared pulling the first item from Pinkerton, but he gave me a material, so all I had to do was introduce Doomy and Runaa. And don't worry ! Cloud is coming soon, I just couldn't really find a way to introduce her as well without it being too forced. So, she'll be joining the rest of the party tomorrow ! This also marks the point where I'm going to try and remember not to feed the Pinkerlocke dragons (though Cloud may get an exception since she's not officially been introduced yet ^^;) and have them survive solely on what they have in the inventory. Hopefully I won't forget, and we'll have an Inventory Day soon so they'll be able to stock up ! Let me know if you have any thoughts so far !
