Thanks for your awesome examples everybody - I've got so much reading to do now lol
I would prefer no more responses so I can catch up on everybody's replies, thank you!
Hello!
Lately I've been struggling with how I have my bios laid out and what information should go in them
Corona here is a good example - I like the layout but that's one big wall of text in that story there - and if I needed to update the bio with any special events (like Bounty of the Elements), well, that makes even more text (this especially becomes a problem for dragons with longer stories in their bios)
I don't know if I should just have a section for a short bio/lore and for the personality (as seen in
this WIP here) and just make a lore thread and post any stories there and link them back to the respective dragon's bio?
I want to figure out a layout that makes sense and works well before I continue writing lore soooo
Show me your dragons with lore! I'd love to see what others have done and what information they include (and read your awesome lore :p)

The first three tabs of my lair are all dragons with lore if you want to take a look at any of those. They aren't well polished, but they've got their own bio templates that I made.

I actually like Corona's bio! I think a simple format can be nice.
I use simple ones myself. Some of my dragons with lore:
Ottavio,
Leonida,
Jurou,
Angel and
her daughter. I have more; there is a Lore folder in both my liar and the hibernal den!

I have a few more than these, but these are the main ones. The first two on here I wrote myself, the last one is one I bought from someone else, but it was so good, I can't change it.

I literally just (finally) finished filling out this guy's stuff a little while ago.

But all it really takes to break up a big wall of text so that you can at least visually see it as more bite-sized pieces are things like indents, small images, and either more decorative looking little text bits (Like adding something silly like ~~>**<~~ above and below the _ line you're using to denote the breaks in content.) or simply adding in some extra
spaces
between them.
You can have a lot of text, you just need to maybe break it up a bit better so it doesn't look like it's [i]just[/i] a massive wall.

Wagons hurt when they bounce off walls and smack into you.

LilyCatcher - I thought Corona's bio was fine. Maybe just lacking in some color. I found the WIP bio to be confusing, but it might actually be a great layout, once filled in. Its a little difficult to tell right now.
——-
I have revamped my bios quite a few times, trying to find what will work for my clan. I have so many permas that its been taking me a long time to get them all coded and filled out.
Here are a few examples:
Oceania my Custom Progen - Her layout is slightly different than all the rest as I put the CYOA first, before the info, as she is the first dragon in my lair and I didn't want the intro to be overlooked. Also, a good example of one with a lot of art.
SandShark a good example of one that has been added to the CYOA and that has a extra tidbit, in this case a recipe for danger. LOL
Jacaranda - She has a story in her bio, but has not been added to the CYOA yet.
TreeFrog - What they look like when they've been coded, but not filled out yet.
And I also include when a dragon is part of a coli team or if its a flight rep, like
Kingfisher, who is both.
——-
I also have a
lore thread that is constantly a WIP. I keep tons of my lore stuff there. I need to organize it better. I was thinking of grouping all the info into categories like Flight, Clan Structure, Territory, Lairs, Positions, Personalities, Beastclan, Familiars, Game Mechanics (skins, exalting, Gen 1's etc.). Its all so jumbled the way it is now.

Amazing Lores, somethimes breaking some parts makes it easy to read.
mine has small ones, but it connects to each other. The Guardians of Lazulis, Evil and Good guys got lores. Not all of them from the good guys but enough
