Oki. RP IS NOT MANDATORY! ...Umm... Except if you want the elder and ancient stages xD
You can buy your pet at the egg stage... if you RP, it will grow faster. Without RP, it will take anywhere from 1 week to a month for growth in normal situations, HOMGOMG. It will get to childhood, then teenagehood, then adulthood... and then, POOF. From then on, RP is the only way your dragon will grow. The more you RP, the faster your dragon may grow! And if you don't Rp and still want your dragon to grow, an additional fee has to be paid. 3nodding ...*hint hint bribe!* xD

Main breeds


Fire: Fire dragons are the most common of dragons. As you've probably guessed already, they spit fire, and are probably the most adept at battle because they are both agile and possess powerful musculature. They're very much big talking lizards- although they can speak, they're a little more shallow-minded than other dragons, but have a very good survival instinct. They are usually very sociable- and even second to water dragons in the quality of their companionship if raised well. But in abscence of influence from another sociable creature, they can turn out to be unintelligent, vicious and completely uncontrollable, in which case they are very dangerous to hang around with xD; Their colors vary from earth tones to reds, yellows or even beige, and they also come in a wide variety of dark colors. Their markings are often quite flashy and colorful as well. Albinos happen occasionally. Fire dragons like to eat big game like horses and large bovines, but can settle for goat, pig and sheep. Rogue fire dragons can sometimes be man-eaters, so, eh, watch out 8D.

Earth: Earth dragons are the biggest of the four main races. Their colors are earthy, foresty or mountainous tones, and their hides are extremely thick and hard to damage. The scales in the back of their head and along their back resemble armored plates, and they have no horns aside from those on the points of their plate-scales. Their tail is short and covered in the scale armor, which makes for powerful tail attacks. They are generally the most pacifist of dragons and prefer not to fight, which suits them because they lack agility. Nevertheless, they have incredible defense and strength, and another dragon would be stupid to attempt to take one of these guys down. Earth dragons are rumored to have the best sense of humor out of all the dragons, and boast their wisdom and knowledge. Although a little rare and hard to find, they can be excellent, caring companions. Being too big and slow to hunt, they eat only bugs, scavenged eggs and the leaves of certain trees; they can survive on this despite their large size due to their slow metabolism.

Wind: Wind dragons, with their kitelike wings and beautiful colors, are unmatched in the gracefulness of their flight. They can create blasts of air with their powerful lungs, and their language sounds like an odd combination of various bird cries and twitters. They might be the most beautiful, but also the most vulnerable of dragons. Because of this, in their fledgling years, they have an interesting natural defense- spiky, sharp scales grow outwards from their neck to prevent predators from biting them there. They also have rounder beaks, because their parents feed them, but their pointy scales smoothen down with age and their beaks and claws grow sharper for and hunting prey such as rabbits, small birds and mountain goats. Wind dragons are small and fragile when young, but their build strengthens with age into that of something like a sleeker-looking raptor. Wind dragons are difficult to befriend and they prefer to stay clear of humans, but they can be good friends, although they're very stubborn, and not as loyal as the other dragons.

Water: Water dragons are by far the cutest of all dragons. <3 They're docile and sociable as well, and easiest to tame. Being amphibians of a sort, they can breathe both underwater and on land. They also have the ability to spray water from their throats in short but powerful bursts. They're equipped with small finned wings who cannot fly, but are very useful underwater. While swimming, they can be folded for greater speed. Water dragons have powerful tails with a large fin at the end for swimming, and small arms and legs with webbed fingers. While young, they're stout and chubby, by by the time they've reached adulthood, they're serpentine and sleek with beautiful aquatic colors. They mainly eat shrimp and other crustaceans of the sea.

INFORMATION ON OTHER SPECIES WILL BE KEPT IN GUILD TO CONSERVE SPACE. =D


-CROSSBREEDS, SUBSPECIES AND OTHER DRAGON TYPES-

Crossbreeds are all pretty cool-like, because they have the abilities and advantages of both of the main species they were born from. 3nodding
Subspecies and other dragon types is a field that never ceases to grow. For customs, for example, you can make up your own subspecies AS LONG AS IT IS A REPTILE, IN OTHER WORDS COLD-BLOODED. There's an infinity of kinds of dragons out there.


-NON-DRAGONS-

What? Non-dragons? Well, not for a long time, sorry. xP ;



These are the dragon ranks. Sometimes we let you pick the rank of your dragon 'cept for the alpha/beta ranks, but most often they're chosen by the staff, prior to the sale.

Ranks can change because of RP. 3nodding Dragon eggs always start out rankless, because dragons that are not roleplayed remain rankless forever. (What's the use? Ranks are for RP anyways xD)

Citizen- A dragon who lives in human society, most often entrusted to and raised by a humanoid guardian due to the custom mentioned in the above post. Citizen dragons are treated just like people by humans, and are generally neither feared nor hated by either humanoids or dragons except for dragon-hating or human-hating cultures, or personal reasons. Citizen dragons are generally more cultured, open-minded, and well... more human than the usual dragon. Guardians are not allowed to mess up the upbringing of their dragon, so it is very rare for a citizen dragon to be evil, murderous, or haters of humanoids or dragons in general. If a citizen dragon goes rogue, their rank changes to “Rogue”.

Rogue- A dragon who is not a citizen and does not belong to any clan, or who left their clan or resigned from living with humans. Sometimes loners, sometimes having a family of sorts with other rogue dragons. They can start their own fins, wings or companies if they have a large enough band of rogues and want to be a little more permanent- or they could join other clans (which is impossible if they don't already have family in that clan). Rogues can be very dangerous or perfectly safe- it depends on their upbringing (or lack of), their beliefs and their personalities. Basically, they're the same as human strangers- you need to get to know them before assuming anything about them. Dragon rogues aren't uncommon, but most dragons still stick together in their nest- a lone dragon is very vulnerable to other rogues, dragon hunts, and... well, loneliness. (Awwh. *emotear* ;^; ) Being without the protection of warriors and the eldest is a scary concept for non-rogues who aren't the eldest or a warrior themselves, so rogues are usually hardier than normal dragonkin.

Dragonkin- Also just called Kin by dragons, or even Nestkin by the dragons of the same clan, Dragonkin are dragons belonging to a clan, but who do not play a particular role in the clan. (Of course, adults would have to help with hunting and tending to children like everyone else.) Dragons belonging to a clan but who haven't reached teen age yet are called Dragonkin unless they are of higher birth. (For example, birthed by a warrior, an elder, the eldest of the nest, or even an ancient.) Most dragonkin were born and raised in their nest, so their culture is that of their nest. Dragonkin who leave their nest become “rogues”.

Noble- Like dragonkin, but birthed by a warrior, an elder, an eldest or an ancient. Nobles are not usually any different in personality than dragonkin, unlike the human stereotype of “spoiled rich brat”. xd (Actually, they may be a little more responsible and level-headed because of the pressure to be an example to the others)

Warrior- The "heroes" of each clan, warriors are particularily strong or powerful dragons, and their considerable strength or magic- or maybe both- are usually recognised sometime in their adulthood, when they are given the title of “warrior”. Warriors are meant to protect their clan with their talent and ability, and love every member of the clan so that they could risk their lives to protect them- but nevertheless, they can go solitary if they want to, and even cut contact with their clan completely, because in dragon culture adults are allowed to do as they wish. Leaving the nest and becoming a Rogue will just make the rank change to “Rogue Warrior”. Rogue warriors are frowned upon by most dragon nests, unlike normal rogues, because they abandoned their responsibility.

Adjutant- Beta leaders- they can order other adult dragons of their clan around. Number of adjutants and power held by them varies with dragon species and culture.

Eldest- The alpha leader of a nest, and always the oldest of the dragons of that nest. This is because the older a dragon gets, the more magical ability it amasses. Eldest lead their nest and protect it with their lives if danger comes. Being the most powerful of that nest, nobody would dare rebel against him/her- (yes, they can be either of the genders) and so law and order is maintained, although cruel and evil eldests can happen. But since dragons are a species of pride and honor, the eldests would never betray their nest. Unless they're really evil and can profit from leaving the nest. Which would be surprising, because helping the nest grow into a miniature army of dragons is a lot more profitable... in terms of military power... I think. rofl

Special ranks (RAAAARE. Rarerarerare.)

Dragonlord- The most powerful dragons, dragonlords are said to have Cael's blood running through their veins, granting them truly excessive magical power. Dragonlords like to breed with other dragonlords or dragons of high magical potential so that they could pass down their power to their children with minimum loss. Like the upper class for humans, there are dragonlords for dragons- they are almost untouchable by the lower classes, and do not belong to any clan. Dragonlords are so powerful magically that they can take human shape (heh... with their own magically appearing clothing xP) , but their horns always stay, and sometimes even a ridge of scales along their spine and a small hint of a tail. They usually live alone, but if they have family, they stay near a dragon clan or, more often, a humanoid city so that the young ones can socialise. (Yes, “pure” dragonlord offspring can take human shape early in their lives.) Dragonlords actually prefer being in human shape to dragon shape, after centuries of habit because of how practical it is. Their magical ability is not diminished by their shape, and they usually only shapechange into a dragon if they need to fly long distances. (For short distances, they can shapechange into a person with WINGS! YAY) They also prefer living near humanoids to dragons for a particular reason- dragons want the power of Cael's blood for themselves, and jealousy often leads to hate or much more attention than any dragon would desire. On the plus side of humanoids, Dragonlords are affiliated with the king in the Kingdom of Glades. They are the best "knights" there can be and are treated like royalty, and can be asked to battle for the king and couldn't refuse such an order, but in return, they have access to all of the Kingdom's riches and can live with and intermingle with humans in all of the luxury they have all they want. Actually, given the status and power of human noblety, and can take part in politics, but only if they want to. Those who have lived around dragonlords a lot, like military men of the Kingdom and others affiliated with the king, do not fear dragonlords unless the dragonlords make themselves feared. sweatdrop (So yeah, they can be tyrannical overlords, like any politician given lotsa power... but usually not. Thankfully. xD; ) Dragonlords are an asset to any country. So even dragon-hating countries like Coruba have dragonlords, except that the dragonlords of Coruba are corrupt by power and have no sympathy for dragonkind, considering themselves a superior race apart from those "vicious animals".

Flatsales have some basics they follow-

*Basic Dragons cost 11.5k (11500g)
*Speed flatsales are first claim, first serve: You get the dragon if you claim it first.
*Game/RP prompt flatsales are different. We post a question or a prompt, and you post an answer as well as which dragon you want. Then we choose who has the best answer for that particular dragon and they get the dragon.
*All Flatsales happen in this thread.

You don't need a form for flatsales, just what is required.

Speed Example

I want dragon #1!

Game Example

I want dragon #1
(answer to question or prompt)

Big, cool, special dragons shall be auctioned. Auctions start at 11.5k, the price for a normal pet. Auctions happen in a seperate thread.

There are currently no Auctions.




Raffles are for any kind of dragon; baby dragons or eggs from breeding, special dragons, or some other kind of dragon.

*Raffle tickets cost 100g each.
*You may purchase as many tickets as you want.
*Winner(s) is/are drawn by the post action: random number.
*Raffles usually last about 1 week.
*You may buy tickets for friends.
*Free raffles have no cost, but you may only claim 10 tickets- you may also claim tickets for your friends.




We like to hold contests when we need something done and such, and prizes are usually something like 15k, a free dragon, and maybe even a custom dragon!

No contests for now. :3

If you want a custom dragon, you may PM the form to either Mythee, Vooma or Haisyn Fierra, depending on who you want to do it. Customs are NOT RP required, but as usual, the Elder stage is RP required. Don't forget to wait for when the custom slots are open! The price? It depends on what stage it starts on...

There are no elder customs, because the elder stage is achievable only by RP. Custom species cost double the main species price, but for now we're only doing customs for main species. (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind.)

HATCHLING: 80k + the price of influences if you buy any
CHILD: 70k + the price of influences if you buy any
TEEN: 50k + the price of influences if you buy any
ADULT: 30k + the price of influences if you buy any
NO ELDER CUSTOMS, RAR! D8<

The reason why you might want to buy influences is because you cannot make your dragon elemental or anthropomorphic or something just because it's a custom. You'd have to buy influences like everyone else. Well, not exactly, because you can choose:

-gender
-stage
-species
-colors (no need for influences for colors)
-patterns (no need for influences for patterns)
-shape and size (no need for influences to affect how big, muscular, slender etc. your dragon is)

It's still a pretty good deal, hmm? ^^ If you think you can't afford it, but you're good at coloring...

Special deal 1 - You may ask to color it! And if we agree, the custom will cost a whopping 10000g less PER STAGE of the custom! We decide by vote if you could color your dragon. 3nodding Vote = advantage of a three-person staff xP
Example: Self-colored hatchling custom costs 40k instead of 80k. o.o

Omg? Another one?
Special deal 2: If you choose to leave either the physical description space and/or the color space blank, ye get 15k off. xP (It won't be much of a custom without a custom appearance and/or custom color, but for some reason, I thought that people would like having this deal. ._. So a custom adult could cost 15k instead of 30.)

Now on to the form we go! xD Remember, PM IT =O

Welcome to the item shop. Here we sell what is called an "influence", which in general seems to be a tiny fraction of a spirit kept in a bottle- it can trigger small but strange changes on a dragon when bought- there's nearly an infinity of combinations that you can make with them. When influences are used in large quantities on a dragon, they absorb so much of a spirit that they become what one might call an "elemental". The maximum of each influence you can buy per dragon stage would be 3. Any more of one kind of influence per period of growth and the changes might be too drastic and might 'consume' your dragon's soul, so it is not recommended.
