I'm not very happy with one of the dragons who, up until this point, has played a very important part in my lore. I feel like he's a waste of apparel (Solar Blades are not cheap and I don't want to have to buy another) and his genes and colors are okay, but not to my tastes anymore.
However, I don't want to have to rework that much of my lore or keep such a lackluster dragon involved in the clan drama. So just retconning him out of existence seems like a waste of time. I'm thinking about just buying another dragon with the colors/genes I feel would fit better, giving him the same name as the old dragon, and just replacing the old dragon with the new one and keeping the lore surrounding him intact.
My question is: what have other people done with lore dragons they don't want or like anymore? Do you just keep them around anyhow and try to touch them up? Do you just transfer everything you've written so far to another dragon like I'm planning to? Something else? I'd love to hear!
(also I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, first time actually starting a thread)

If a dragon I have doesn't fit with my current lore, or was in lore but now has no use, I put them in the "Misc" tab that I have

Hm, what I do is just slowly work them out (if you're still writing lore) by making them just not that involved anymore. That or you could just kill them off and replace them with a 'descendent' (insert name Jr.) - a dragon you like more.

I've written some out of my lore so I don't have to keep them around.
Others like
Venom and
Bane I just replaced with another dragon as if they were the same one.
Scion I had inherit the position of Sister, but it's a rather complicated situation there.

I did a purge quite some time ago that led to almost half my lore dragons being booted from my lair. I simply wrote them off as moved out/died in a glorious battle that acted as a turning point in my lore. But transferring the lore to a new shiny dragon is perfectly fine imo. I've done it before.

Get rid of that dragon, but copy the lore. Find yourself a new dragon that fits your tastes more to replace 'em!

I have also done a near complete purge of my lair in lore, but I have kept a 'Memoria' type dragon with their saved images and old lore bits on them. This may not be viable to others who make large stories with theirs, but it works well enough for me.

I’ve been through this before, and sometimes I did rehome said dragon, other times I just revamped the lore of the dragon to fit in better with my current clan lore.

I usually take a screenshot of the dragon + bio, then copy and paste the lore into an "old lore" file I have going, then train and exalt. :Ua If I want to reuse it it's easy to get to, but most of the time I just end up doing something else

@
Psychosis - I might have to hold onto that idea for later usage, a dragon who keeps track of who has gone before actually sounds like a neat position for lore purposes!
@
Arborpunk - that's also a pretty good idea, since I feel like this won't be the first time this happens.
My lore's definitely still in its early stages of development so this is probably not an isolated event, I might mix and match some of the other ideas depending on how important the dragon was to my lore and how much would have to be reworked if I were to remove them outright.
Thank you for all the wonderful responses so far!
