TOPIC | Lore & Naming Advice
Clearing out my lair, finally had some space, and I bought some new babies. I HAD lore ideas for them, but as soon as I got them I couldn't figure out what to do with them. I also need to rename all three, but alas I'm really bad at naming my dragons. Any help would be grand! I'm also willing to help others in their lore & name quests (and outfit/gene ideas!) First up: this unnamed shiny boy. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=52568509] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/525686/52568509_350.png[/img] [/url] Outfit: [outfit=529096] I adore him, and I wish I'd written down what I wanted to do lore-wise for him. I know I want him to be some kind of spirit or fairy, someone who isn't entirely malicious but is chaotic, vain and a tad rude. He often says the wrong thing and comes off as offensive, but in truth is oblivious to social norms and speaks the truth as he sees it. He gets flustered and upset when his visage is ruined or messed with and will flee if things get messy. Always seems to be lost in a daydream, wandering about the land during the daylight hours, sometimes goes to the markets to tell stories and write poetry for a few coins. He sings on stormy nights, and may be coaxed into dancing during clan bonfires. I thought about naming him Artemis or Achilles, since his vanity is also his fatal flaw (he looks into mirrors WAY too often). Other than that, I have no idea. ----------------------------- Second baby: Dusk, a really dark boy of bloody matters. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47459651] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/474597/47459651_350.png[/img] [/url] Outfit: No ideas Another new love, I just had to nab Dusk when I saw him. Which meant that there was no lore planned. At all. I'm thinking Witch Doctor or demon, but like....a polite one. Probably has severe insomnia and is really blunt and doesn't really care to make friends with other dragons. Sometimes falls asleep on his feet and dozes off in the middle of conversations, usually after going 70+ hours without sleep. Dusk tends to make a point not to say anything out of turn - usually not speaking unless spoken to, and even then he uses as little words as possible and speaks with the grace of someone well versed in politics. Sometimes plays a lute or harp while curled up in the branches of his favorite tree. Likes to walk along the nearest beach and collect seashells and go tide pool hunting in his spare time. As far as a new name goes, I've got nothing. Was thinking of Haze (for his constant fatigue and general bleariness) or Pitch for his colors. -------------------------- The last (but not least) good boy: Glynnis, a starry eyed tool [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=51507797] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/515078/51507797_350.png[/img] [/url] Outfit: [outfit=828279] Glynnis' lore is pretty straight forward. A sorcerer tried to summon a demon to do their dirty work, but instead of a demon they pulled Glynnis from his realm. In doing so, their binding spells were way off and didn't bind him to the sorcerer; instead, the spells backfired, killing the sorcerer and binding Glynnis to this realm. He can never go home and is selectively mute from the damage caused by the bad summoning. Glynnis is very formal and polite, although he knows little of this world and its inhabitants. He tries his hardest to understand and learn his new home, but more often than not he just ends up insulting someone out of ignorance. Beyond the surface, Glynnis is a breathtakingly kind and hearty dragon, though he is not overly friendly and prefers to stick close to his little swath of land where his garden is. He's mostly nocturnal and will appear dazed, lethargic and distracted when awake during the day. He likes flowers, thunderstorms, sweets and swimming. I probably won't rename Glynnis, but if anyone has a better idea for his name I'm all ears! EDIT: I keep buying dragons someone stop me.

Don't really know for sure what I'm gonna do with him, but he's probably gonna end up being my new clan historian with a bitter, dark past that he can't shake no matter what he does. As for a name....no ideas. Was thinking of either Carnage or Vulture, or a name that would seem out of place on a "gentle" scholar like this boy. ------------------------------------ [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=52742767] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/527428/52742767_350.png[/img] [/url] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=110&bodygene=33&breed=17&element=5&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=164&tertgene=26&winggene=38&wings=129&auth=05a7e66f4dfa57d7a155c1b5588ce3492e2039e0&dummyext=prev.png[/img] MY FIRST GAOLER OMG ahem. Not quite sure if I'll even keep this boy after I can breed him the first time, but either way I wanna give him lore. Was thinking that his egg was found frozen in one of the many abandoned tunnels the clan's lair has. After being warmed up he hatched, and the clan had themselves their first Gaoler clan member. Unfortunately, the only dragon this baby seems to like also happens to be [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=100874&tab=dragon&did=15292035]Technicolor [/url]- one of the meanest, scariest dragons in the clan (next to Hecate, anyway). The baby is being raised by the entire clan, but if the old assassin is in the area, the Gaoler is going straight for him. And I don't have a name for him, either. Maybe Monochrome, to match with his favorite dragon? I'll probably continue updating this the more dragons I find. Thank you for reading this far and may you find your dream dragons!

@TwistedRae

pearlcatcher with wasp and peacock genes: Unlike most dragons, this one had a drop of the lightweaver's essence dripped on his egg (explanation for this in up to you). He tries to hide, but whith his wings, that can be difficult. He hides because he fears. He fears death, he fears evil, he fears darkness wiht an inocent and childlike mind. However, he has grace, magical skill, and majesty beyond any normal dragon.

themesong: "the land across the sea" by sJLs

name: Prowess

Here is a bit for dusk as well: Dusk is Prowess's dark mirror. As one of the main reasons Prowess hides and runs. Dusk does not fights, but seeks and controlls a target, passively controlling it through a combination of mental spells and manipulation tactics and letting the dragon do whatever he feels is nesecarry to ensure the survival and safety of those he loves, for he loves Prowess like a brother and hopes to help him overcome his fear someday. Like Prowess, they both want to carry out the same goal and protect each other, but Dusk, unlike prowess, is willing to cross moral lines to reach that goal.

Themesong: "A Trail of Hope" by John Paesano

(optional cross flight lore) Dusk is the dragon who rendered Celeste "compliant"

how is this?

AHA
okay i have some ideas:

for the first shiny boi, I think Artemis and Achilles are great names, but personally, I've never seen Artemis as a vain type, more of Apollo? Achilles was, I would say quite vain, but maybe not as vain as Narcissus
the first name that came to mind was Janus, he seems an oracle-y, storyteller kinda guy, and Janus is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings, all that stuff, but most importantly reminds me of this dragon !

Dusk seems like a Nemesis -? goddess of retribution and revenge, who rains her diVINE WRATH ON ANYONE WHO DARE COMMIT HUBRIS- and he seems like a vengeful dragon with a mysterious, dark past. . .

and Glynnis~ A BEAUTIFUL BOI i dont want to rename him he's beautiful as is (-∀- )


ANYHOW GOOD LUCK ON YE KIDS AND LORE HAW YEE *rolls out of room*

@KeepStar


Those are really good ideas! The bit about Dusk being willing to cross moral lines for what he wants to accomplish is especially good. Same with the other boy being closer to the Lightweaver than other dragons. And those theme songs!!! I'm a sucker for instrumental songs, and those fit the boys wonderfully!


@deepspaceretro


I forgot Narcissus existed oh my god

Janus would be a great name for him. (I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he's got a storyteller/oracle vibe. He's too pretty to NOT have a hundred stories and secrets beneath that shiny exterior~.


As for renaming Dusk Nemesis - I am all for it. A vengeful, sleep deprived Witch Doctor in a clan that houses murderers and demons. Like a fox in a henhouse.


And thank you, Glynnis is very pretty! All three of these boys were extremely cheap too, Dusk was the most expensive (still only like 20kt) and both my shiny boy and Glynnis were at the bottom of the barrel price-wise. Glad I snagged them before someone else. <3
