I think you meant "runes," not "tunes," there, buddy. X3 But yeah, everything seems to be in order, now! I'll get to work on adding your dragons to the lists right away!

The Spiral couple, Swiir and Virro, have been added to the Eightleaf Town denizen directory, and their inn, The Lion's Inn, has been added to the business directory! Likewise, the mystereous, traveling merchant, Imriel, has been added to the list of visitors to Eightleaf Town!

I would be willing to bet my firstborn that it said runes. I had corrected it three times and it finally settled on runes and then it changed once I looked away;;

Don't worry about it. :) That sort of thing happens to everyone, especially if you're using a mobile device or something.

34056331_350.png

Age: 25
Residence: In Eightleaf, near/above the post office
Role: Works at the post office
Personality: Clutter is very talkative and cheerful, often being described as a 'nocturne shaped spiral' by some as a first impression.

Alright, let's get into it. :)

So, first off, I have a lot of questions about Flesher. First, is she (that is, her physical form) actually a zombie, and does she drip gore, etc., or is that just her coloration? Second, according to her backstory, she seems to be possessed or something. Could you clarify that, please? (I'll go on after these get answered if it's necessary.)

Goodness, Seastar sure is lonely. This also explains why the Tidelord is so gloomy all the time, since I assume he can hear the sea, too. Also, since Seastar doesn't mind what pronouns are used, I'll note here that I'll use male ones for him. They/Them/Their always confuses me if it's used for a singular entity/object. since those're nongender plural pronouns. (I get that people think "it/its/that/that's" are for objects, but really, all it is is the singular variant, and in English, objects are nongender, so that's why they're applied to them. And as you can see, "them" is still used for objects/concepts/other nongender stuff. That's what makes the most grammatical sense to me, but I do my best to be polite, still. I just inevitably get confused along the way. Like, "wait. Who's this person referring to again? How many are there again? Was it just one or more?")

Clutter has such cute mannerisms! I'm glad she finally found her niche. :) Does this mean you'll be taking the post office, or will I be keeping that relatively generic and under my control for now?

I think you did fine at writing them. :) But sure, you can tweak them to what, in practice, seems more appropriate to you as you feel out your characters. Sometimes, we write something for a personality, and then as we play them, we realize more apt descriptions. There's nothing wrong with that. ^_^

Just a reminder that it's best to talk to the other rpers to establish what sort of relationships your dragons have with each other before the rp starts if your dragons are likely to have met before the start of the rp! I recommend sending PM's to work this out once your dragons are officially signed up! (Dragons officially signed up are listed in the Eightleaf Town directories here.) Feel free to send me PM's about the relationships our dragons have, too!

@Cryoluxra
It is just her colouration, she isn't an actual zombie. Regarding the possession like thing, which I haven't found a better name or explanation for than this, she basically kicks out the original inhabitant of the body and lives in it for the rest of its life. She takes the name and memories of the old inhabitant so she can act as if nothing changed, usually never revealing she wasn't the dragon they knew. She can't switch between bodies while the one she's in is still alive without the one she moved from dying. That's it, I think.. I hope this makes a bit of sense?

Seastar does get a bit lonely at times, but they don't let it bother them too much. I often end up confusing myself with the pronouns, I had to go through and check I didn't switch them midway through the personality for no reason other than an incorrect spelling distracted me for a second.

I think I'd like to take over the post office, if that's okay.

It's fine if you take over the post office. :) Please just let me know if it/the library have specific names, and if so, what they are. (I'm still reviewing your dragons, but I'm really tired at the moment, so I'll put off further examining until after I've had some sleep and get some spare time.)
