Biochromology Experiment: Iteration 2
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
A while back, I started a little project to collect an XXX dragon of every color. Easy enough. I never finished it. Got a bit mired in lore. It was all good fun, but I realized that while I do like XXXs, I like them because of hidden variety. I like how the right combination of genes can bring out all sorts of beautiful accent colors, making even the most uninteresting color combination absolutely gorgeous.
So I thought, perhaps a new project aiming for a wheel filled with those kinds of genes would be nice. 'Course, even old reliable poi/tox or fla/fla doesn't always get the most interesting results, especially on duller colors. But then we got some new genes. Some really lovely new genes. So I scried what an XXX soil harlequin/jester/opal dragon would look like...
And that's when realized I was going to have a Problem. It's. Uh. It's beautiful.
oh no.

...Alright, but what about beige? I'm not expecting- 
...Oh no.

...Flint? It's usually rather bland, even poi/tox isn't- 
.....OH NO.

- The goal: XXX harlequin/jester/rare colorwheel.
- Dragons may be bought or bred. I imagine I'll be doing a lot of the latter.
- Dragons may be gened, but I mean... uh... it's harlequin/jester. That ain't happening 177 times. If I nab an otherwise-neat XXX (sub-8-digit ID, lineage, glitch, palindrome, etc.), I may set them aside to be gened eventually.
- Breed is mostly irrelevant. There aren't any modern breeds I don't like. All are welcome, variety preferred... though I have a very soft spot for coatls, and probably prioritize those if I can.
This will get easier as time goes on, since breeding projects can intermingle with each other, and successes may be bred together to fill in intermediary colors.
I do also collect other XXX dragons with matching genes, ones with neat accent colors in particular. Who knows, maybe by the time I get anywhere near running out of space, we'll have enough hibden slots available for several colorwheels. A guy can dream. May try for cinder/blaze one day, just since I really love that pattern as well.

Last time I tried I had a much easier goal, and got derailed by the urge to write ludicrous amounts of lore about it. Chances are this will happen again. Ah, well.Here's a pinglist for notification only when a new har/jes dragon is obtained!
