Updates



===08/17/11 - The ownerlist has been updated!

Many thanks to Beejoux for taking the time to update and renew it!

A couple of notes about the ownerlist, now that subspecies are starting to be released-

The 'pure' convention might sometime disappear as not to give the wrong idea about what your Drei is. Because of added templates and a vague idea of what 'spikes and spines and fins' can equate to, it is up to best judgment as to how 'pure' your Drei may be. It still stands that when further subspecies are released like the Mountes, if templates become frankensteined they will just be classified as 'mixed.' c: Spikes, Fins (we're talking the webby ones here), and Spines are still the most universal of traits (so long as they are extended from the body.

If you have any questions, concerns, etc, please feel free to PM the mule, we are always open to discuss any anomalies, loopholes, contradictions, etc!


===08/12/11 - King Breedings are Open!

===06/13/11 - ANOTHER RULE!
(Just another bit of wrapping things up to prepare for breedings coming up!)


10. Chimerical Dreichda have an only 25% chance of passing on chimerical traits to their young. Whether or not the offspring inherits the chimerical trait, they are no longer able to carry it on to further generations. Their offspring can inherit a 25% chance Chimerical trait if bred with a non-related chimerical first generation but only that Dreichda's chimerical traits carry on.


===06/09/11 - Rule Changes!

The following rules have been changed:

General Shop Rules:

7. We allow up to three co-owners to a Dreichda. It is up to you to determine how rights are distributed.

Co-owning is no longer allowed.
We are changing this because rights are confusing for everyone and make a mess of everything. Thankfully there are no co ownerships to change. (ifthereisandimsomehowmissingit,thenyoushouldbefine)

Breeding Rules:

4. Any individual Dreichda may breed up to 5 times and must wait a full month period before breeding each time. Please fill out how many times its bred in the entry form for our records.

There is no longer a breeding limit on the individual Dreichda but the month waiting period is still in effect.
This means your Drei can breed as many times as you want EVER! That's less for you and less for us to keep track of.

7. You may only own one egg from each breeding, and up to three people may co own an offspring.

Again, co owning is no longer allowed.


===09/14/10 - Ive thought about this and because we are so early off in the game it will be easier to impliment and stick to. Nobody is the reason for this but as a way to encourage originality and all-around fairness, COSPLAYS ARE GOING TO BE EVENT AND BRIBE EXCLUSIVE* from now on.

What do we mean by Cosplays are banned?

-Cartoons, Anime, Video Games, Movies, Real People, Books, Anything directly from these sorts of sources.

What kind of things are NOT banned?

-Original Characters (OCs), Avatars (And no, I dont mean blue alien people or the elemental flying earth fire water ones), Concepts inspired by Music or Art, Real Animals (If you even considered this cosplay in the first place), Dinosaurs (o_o),

Does this mean the end of all Cosplays?
No. But if you are expecting a Pokemon, DBZ Character, or Transformer on Dreichda lines, you outta look for something to tide you over. You can only get these from a specific event or through bribes.

What if I'm already trying for a cosplay?
If you're immediately worried about a cosplay and you've already been trying for one please PM King and we'll figure out what's up. Only if you have already tried for a certain cosplay in the two customs that have run already. If you are waiting on an RL custom and have chosen a cosplay you too are in the clear.

Im sorry we have to do this but it feels as though that is the majority of what people want on these lines and that is not what they were made for. We will be having a Final Fantasy Aeon/Summon/Fiend/Etc event in the coming up year where there will be plenty of goodies to be had and I believe Moose had the idea of a WoW event too.

***Pet Trades are included as well


===11/25/10 - It has come to my attention that I've left out a pet-trade obtainment option so I will be working on adding that as an available method. The map has been updated with two new location images. (Plz to be updating it Photobucket, you useless piece of poop)

===09/14/10 - Welcome Cypran as our next colorist! We are closing the hirings at this time, but applications can always be submitted.

Also, the gemstone event has officially started! See post 11 for details!

In the meantime, after a short lineart cleanup, I am adding a "fluff" option for the Common Subspecies tails!


===08/20/10 - I'd like to welcome Mobster Goose onto our staff as a full time colorist!

Applications will continue to remain open for a while.

There is a new alternate universe roleplay thread. If you really prefer to rp humans this is the place to go. Dreichda rped here are rped like gijinka/humans of their pet forms and Humechen do not exist here. Please read the forum rules there for more details and before posting.


===08/14/10 - For a clearer understanding of what the unknown/mutant subspecies is as a whole, I am changing the name of the subspecies from "Unknown" to "Chimerical." Hopefully this will help people understand in the future when people chose obscure traits not normally found on dragons =]

===08/06/10 - Id like to announce that my good friend irl Deathlyambience is joining our colorist team! She'll be helping with the gem event and some other awesome stuff and opening some RL customs! Ameh will also probably be doing RL customs soon too and I'll try and get some flatsale stuff made for yall!

PM deathlyambience if you are interested in a RL custom!


===07/28/10 - RL Commishes are right now selectively exclusive so please do not mail me about them.

I will be gone from tomorrow until Wednesday of next week on vacation so I will not be able to answer any PMs or finish any work until Im back (or update the referral list) see you then.


===07/16/10 - Thread content is complete! If there's any gaps I'll get to filling them when I can. We wanna hear what you wanna see in future events, but in the meantime, start preparing for a special gemstone opening event!

WE ARE HIRING! Click here for more details!


===07/10/10 - Guild has been set up- rules for customs and breedings still under construction. Main focus is on specifics and storyline information for the main thread.

Overview


===User Image “Here in the world of Adraiggnu, we humans have been living alongside a race of dragons known as the Dreichda. While dragons are often depicted as brutish, carnivorous beasts, the Dreichda are relatively peaceful. They cannot speak to us in tongue we understand but they have always approached us without the slightest fear. Through my research and interaction with the creatures I have discovered we have things that they want- the ability to organize in masses to accomplish goals, raising healthy and tasty livestock, and building large “nests” for keeping families. By offering their own abilities to aid us in our daily lives the Dreichda have created a mutual friendship and eliminated the use of some of our own inventions. For a short period of time though political debate halted the relationship between us and the Dreichda. Simply put, some humans were stepping boundaries and breaking trusts through their crimes. Our world had been shaken up a bit, but after enough time we were able to return to a peaceful, calm time with the Dreichda. Now days, we see humans and Dreichda living and interacting together. I can’t help but wonder though that there might be certain Dreichda out there who do not like us and their own race for our use of one another… either way, such politics are not my specialty. My name is Rhaenii, and I am a human representative to the Dreichda. I research and communicate the best I can with these creatures, and assist with teaching other people how to take care of a Dreichda.

There are a few things you outta know about Dreichda. They come in so many shapes and sizes, it can be hard to tell what subspecies they belong to. However, nomatter what subspecies they are, Dreichda all grow in the same pattern. In their egg stage, their parents find whatever cloths and blankets they can find to keep them warm. A parent Dreichda may not be able to be around her eggs all the time, so it takes extra care to hatch their young. Once free standing, hatchlings run around causing all sorts of mischief. At this age, they cannot perform any daunting tasks or use any of their powers, but if they have wings then they begin to learn to fly. It is not possible for a hatchling to travel a great distance, but they are still eager to get off the ground. After a long enough time, hatchling Dreichda will develop and mature into adults. Adult Dreichda can now fly, swim, and run long distances. They can also breed with other Dreichda. ”

Subspecies


===FIRE, WATER, AIR AND DIRT, ******** dragons, how do they work? All Dreichda subspecies are capable of sharing traits with one another.These are mixed breeds, but are not of the chimerical category. Likewise, any subspecies can lack a universal trait, such as scales or no scales, earholes or full-shaped ears. Dreichda are incapable of human speech, but are highly intelligent with body language, and are usually tame-able.



Common Subspecies

User ImageAs of right now, Rhaenii and her team are working diligently to discover any remaining subspecies of Dreichda. The Common subspecies was the first type that she had come across, and make up the majority of accounted-for Dreichda. Common Dreichda feature classic dragon traits- bat-like wings, horns, reptilian tails, scales, protruding ears, and occasionally bodily spikes and fins. In some Dreichda, hair has been a reoccuring trait. Common Dreichda are Capable of breathing fire and full flight, unless wingless of course. Usually well tempered and neutral, this subspecies is rarely a source of conflict amongst both humans and other Dreichda.











Mounte Subspecies

User Image The second subspecies Dr. Rhaenii and Noel discovered were the tenacious and strong Mountes. From what they've observed, Mountes are a highly matriarchal subspecies located in the more rugged terrains of Adraiggnu. Clan leaders and power holders are almost always female who are identified by longer, wispier hairs from their feet. Mountes in general can exhibit a unique array of horns and spikes around their body but are also covered by a protective array of plates instead of typical scales- this protects them from falling rocks and debris as well as provides humechen riders with a place to hold gear and supplies. Although Mountes are typically friendly towards humechen, they have a tendency to be reclusive and shy in nature. Some do not wish to interact with humechen and make nests in desolate regions along the poles of the planet. Because of the weather in these climates, Mountes are sometimes found with large tufts of fur and very rarely sport decorative hair but have been known in some cases to have it.












Chimerical Subspecies

User Image The chimerical subspecies is the equivalent to mutant pets. Chimerical Dreichda are incredibly hard to predict for temper- they can easily be as friendly as Common dreichda, but also incredibly spiteful and evil towards other Dreichda and humans alike. Chimerical Dreichda are defined by additional traits not found within the ring of the classified subspecies. Traits such as feathered wings, non-dragon tails, paws, alternate noses, multiple wings are considered chimerical.

World Locations


=== Adraiggnu. The world in which humans and Dreichda exist. Dreichda have given the human race the name Humechen. Humechen are mostly coastal dwellers and use boats and Dreichda as a primary form of transportation. While the time period is similar to that of the 1960s of Earth, the amount of technology has been cut back. Cars are a rare sight on the unpaved roads of Adraiggnu, but Humechen homes are well lit and run by electricity. Instead of large metropolis-like cities, the humans live in rural providences. These providences hold all different kinds of Humechen, also reflecting the cultures of humans on Earth.

Glacier Caverns- At the northern cap of Adraiggnu lies massive glaciers with mutliple caverns and underwater caves. Because of the temperature year round, most Dreichda that live up here have more fur and hair than most Dreichda around the world. Not very much else is known about the Dreichda that live up here other than they are very far from the influences of Humechen.

Sea Valley- On the west coast of Adraiggnu's largest content there lies a long stretch of valley with rows of hills that loom over the Freckled Islands. Every season the tide raises enough to pour a vast amount of water into the valley, creating a sky of water for a few days. Because the water recedes quickly, the plantlife in the valley has been able to survive the water and has adapted to the salt buildup.

Freckled Islands- These islands between two uninhabited coasts are usually only a vacation spot for Humechen. The Dreichda however have found them to be a beautiful landscape for raising hatchlings and meeting other dragons. Weather in the Freckled Islands is almost always gorgeous, but in the late summer it can be a hot spot for tropical storms. The water between these islands is the same body of water that leaks into the mainland's Sea Valley.

Obtainment


=== Flatsales/Flaffles - Usually held in-thread and announced before hand. Colorists might hold these individually or as part of group sales.

=== Customs - Looking for a unique Dreichda? Customs are sold through the guild, and are one of the very few ways to obtain "chimerical subspecies" Dreichda. Click here to see if any customs are open!!

=== Raffles/Events/Auctions - Sometimes the whole staff will hold large events where several Derichda at once will be offered in either a mass raffle, contest, game, or giveaway. Special events will usually be held in a seperate forum. Auctions can be present at these events as well. *One of the only ways to get Cosplays*


=== Bribes - When colorists have been around long enough and are caught up on their work, they may open bribes for a breeding(s) and/or custom(s). There will be announcements when bribes are open, and specific rules posted as such. Please do not pm any colorist about a bribe unless they are opening a bribe slot! Any user can apply for these bribes and can win them more than once- it all depends on the colorist. *One of the only ways to get Cosplays*

=== Pet Trades - Like bribes, colorists can open up pet trades when they are caught up and have been proven reliable! When a colorist can perform a pet trade there will be an announcement. Please do not inquire about pet trades if there isnt one open for courtesy. Any user can apply for these trades and can win them more than once but please use fair judgement when making trade offers. *One of the only ways to get Cosplays*

Breeding Specs


=== Breedings here at Dreichda are fairly simple. A colorist will open up a breeding thread and allow couples to enter until the deadline, then will roll for their winners. Because of the difference in time for people around the country and the world, we will probably not do speed sales/breedings. Please be sure you read all the rules and guidelines for breedings before entering one. You may enter multiple colorists' breedings if there are more than one open, but may only win for ONE couple per month. Any subspecies can breed together, and same sex breedings are possible, but no incest is allowed.

Breeding Rules
1. Breedings cost 20k per couple. If you win a breeding, send the trade(s) to the colorist hosting the breedings.
2. Dreichda can typically produce 2-4 eggs. Rp benefits may increase the amount of eggs possible.
3. Please allow a full month for your Dreichda to reach the adult stage. It is at the colorists' discretion as to how long it will remain and egg and child.
4. Any individual Dreichda may breed up to infinite times and must wait a full month period before breeding each time.
5. You and/or another owner may enter 2 couples with your name involved in a colorists' breeding. If you are entering all 2 couples, then please post only once.
6. Same Sex couples MAY be bred but will only result in a single egg each breeding due to the difficulty in the laboratory process in producing it.
7. You may only own one egg from each breeding.
8. Eggs cannot be sold for money, but may be given away through contest, gifting, etc.
9. Please follow any of the colorists' extra rules for their breeding thread and use the correct format for entering couples.
10. Chimerical Dreichda have an only 25% chance of passing on chimerical traits to their young. Whether or not the offspring inherits the chimerical trait, they are no longer able to carry it on to further generations. Their offspring can inherit a 25% chance Chimerical trait if bred with a non-related chimerical first generation but only that Dreichda's chimerical traits carry on.

FAQ


===Q. Is such and such a mutant/chimerical subspecies trait?

A. All Dreichda of pure/mixed species CAN exhibit these traits and CAN come without a trace of them:
-Horns (Of any shape, amount, size, color, orientation; ie, unicorn horns, rhino horns)
-Hair (Of any length, color, style orientation: ie, top of head, down the back, feathered on their legs, on the tips of their tails, chin fur, neck fur, etc.)
-ONE set of leathered wings. (Only on their backs. Torn/tattered leather wings are not mutant.
Any more than one set becomes mutant, as do feathered wings.)
-Reptillian Tails (They can be of any length or thickness and exhibit fur on them but must still show skin. Pure/Mixed only have one tail, so any more than that becomes mutant/chimerical. Anything resembling another animals tail; ie, bird tails, wolf tails)
-Scales (Many Dreichda come with scales or a smooth, sort of dolphin-like skin, but if they are covered in anything else, feathers or slime, etc they are mutant.)
-Spikes/Fins (Can be found ANYWHERE in any number on the Dreich's body. Tendrils/whiskers are included in this but not tentacles)
-Base Template Claws (Once these have been changed to anything like paws, bird talons, etc, they are mutant)

Any dramatic changes to the Dreichda base templates could also be included as mutant, like muzzle/nose changes and limb changes.




===Q. Is there a name rule in place?

A. Nope!
