Here are some questions you may have, and if I'm not online, here's a handy way of getting them answered.
Can I have my female dragon be mated right away?
First, you have to ask, and that is what I call a "petition." You can see an example of a petition in the Council Chambers.
muorcanyon.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=petitions&action=display&thread=7
Then the Council will look at your activity and your character's profile and tell you yes or no. We will ALWAYS give reasons as to why or why not.
If you do have a clutch, your female cannot mate again until that clutch has graduated into adulthood, or we have need for dragon clutches.
Can I have any color I want?
Yes, for the most part. There is no particular advantage of one color over another. All I ask is for a diverse group, so if there are a lot of silvers, I may ask you to choose a grey, or possibly another color. Also, if there gets to be a lot of sheen dragons (gold, bronze, amethyst, sapphire, etc) and not many blunt dragons (yellow, brown, violet, blue, etc) I may ask you to change.
Do dragons of a certain color have to be a certain gender? (ex, a gold=girl, a brown=boy)
Absolutely not! Any color can be any gender. Genetically, you'd probably find in yearly censuses that there will probably be an equal ratio of boys to girls. However, for this roleplay, I'm throwing that out the window, role players riders can pick the gender of their dragon. We can have male golds here, and female browns. In fact, we have a female Diamond, Laylonas, but in the future, there can be male diamonds, too!
How do I get a dragon egg?
First you make a profile, girl or boy aged 15-23 years old. When that character is apporoved, you roleplay them in the petitions to become apart of The Chosen (a candidate in the Pern World). The Council will review the character's profile and activity and say yes or no, with reasons.
If no, you can work on your profile and try again. Posting more would help too. Try again in at least a weeks time.
If yes, your character will be added to a list of The Chosen, and when eggs are ready to be given, the first however many characters will be able to pick eggs.
What happens if my dragon mothers/fathers a dragon clutch?
The council will tell you how many eggs your clutch may have, depending on the size of the dragoness and need. If we don't have many candidates for eggs, there will not be as many eggs. We will tell you the sizes of your hatchlings as well, just to regulate that we don't have all mega dragons.
Then with sizes and numbers decided, the mother dragon decides the egg descriptions and the hatchling's colors. Just pm the admin about what dragon colors you decide on before they hatch.
Who gets what egg is up to the father of the clutch. He can either chose that first on the list gets to choose their egg first or a numbering system: The council and father dragon will number the eggs in secret, and those chosen for a dragon egg will call numbers, then eggs and riders are paired fairly.
Both riders of Mother and Father dragon will train the young riders in lessons.
The sexes of the hatchlings may be decided by new rider, unless they want to be surprised/don't have a preference, then the mother dragon can decide.
Who names the baby dragons?
The riders who get them! The only rule is that you have to use part of either the mother's or father dragon's name. For example, Zircona's dragon is named Laylonas, who was the daughter of a green dragon named Layeri. Or Lykan's black dragon's name is Utheron, who's mother was a sapphire named Thera.
Can you move freely between canyons, or is a character stuck to one for his or her whole life?
No, characters are allowed to move freely between Canyons. For people with occupations (like being Riders, Growers, or Spinners) some paper work needs to be filled out. And some immigrants may be turned away if a Canyon is too full or cannot support anymore people, but for the most part, you are free to move about the country.
