Welcome to Gaia! ::

Please post the following form in this thread.











These are people who are lending out their Sandpainters in exchange for part of the Egg Clutch

Also, there will be a Secondary Contest for a Chi'Lin Sandpainter, a species so far unreleased, colored as you desire, for the first 4 people to explain how the Random Number/Dice Rolling works for breeding, such as Choosing Genders, how many in the clutch, chances of Twins, etc. Each explination must be a different example so we have something to choose from.


However, if 4 people get their Chi'Lin and someone else comes with an easy to understand and workable explination on how to do breeding Rolls and we end up using it, they will get a custom coloring of their choice of species (not just a Chi'lun). If one of the Four that did already win a Chi'Lin has the winning formula, they will get this secondary prize.

I'm not sure how many a painter can max/min but here goes nothing. XD

The first set of rolls should be clutch size. To do this you simply do the random number option. For example if a painter can have 1-3 eggs per clutch, you set the random numbers to pick a number between 1-3. The result will be the clutch size.

Once you have that down, you can roll genders. For this, you roll one dice for each baby (this can happen in one post to save space). It doesn't matter how many sides the dice have since you'll only need to look at odds/evens. Basically odds = boys, evens = girls, or vice versa.

Example: Clutch size = 2
Roll 2, 20 sided dice.
Rollings: First dice is 5, second is 14
Result: First egg is a boy, second egg is a girl

For chances of twins or any other sort of rarity, roll 1d100. If the chances of getting twins is 5%, then you would need to roll a 5 or lower for it to happen. Use the same sort of principle for other other oddities that could happen.

First you have lets say a chance of 1 through 6 chance of how many eggs.
Roll 1 six sided die for it

The to tell if it is male or female. Lets say odds are male and even are female
You roll a 2 sided dice of how many eggs.

The you can do for twins is like you need a number is the 90s for it
So you roll a 100 sided dice for it.

Why should these two breed?: I really want to get further into Sandpainters. I have stalked this place for a while and Durak has the advantage too wink Plus I want RP! Damn it!

Why should these two breed?: cause hes just that sexy cool

Ok, I read that a sandpainter normally has two eggs. Besides things like familiars or an extra egg from rp, I'm assuming that the base number is consistantly two.

If not, or not for all species, simply roll or rando the total available egg clutch. Or, if two are guaranteed, rando like 'between 2 and 6 eggs' because then you dont have a chance to throw a one.

For choosing genders of the eggs, it's pretty easy.

Using the example of two eggs, you rando between 1 and 3.

If your result is 1, then it's one boy, one girl.
If it's 2, your eggs are both girls.
If it's 3, they are both boys.

Hypothetically speaking, let's try it with a higher clutch number to get an idea of how that would go. Not to mention uneven.

Say you have a clutch of 5 eggs. you rando 6

Roll 1 - all girls
Roll 2 - 4 girls, 1 boy
Roll 3 - 3 girls, 2 boys
Roll 4 - 3 boys, 2 girls
Roll 5 - 4 boys, 1 girl
Roll 6- all boys

As long as you keep every outcome covered, you're good.


Now comes Twins. For this, it depends on how rare you want to keep them.
My suggestion would be to randomize from 1 to 100, and if the couple land on a twin number (11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99) then they will have a twin.

You can do this once per clutch, once per egg, or however you see fit. You could also make it more rare and declare that only specific twin numbers, say 33 and 77, will produce twins.

I'd also suggest that if one of the two breeding comes from a twin set, to up the odds, since that seems to work in nature. If both come from a twin set, well up it again. It really depends on how rare you want to keep it. If it is really rare, just have one or two magic twin set numbers, and for every parent that's a twin in the breeding, you can throw in another magic twin number.

Anyway, that's my suggestion.

As for edits, if you take that into consideration or wanted something for breeding like that too, I'd just rando 1 to 3.

if 1 - no edits
if 2 - very slight edits
if 3 - some edits

Unless both parents are heavily edited, and you want to add more past just 'some edits'. Otherwise, in the idea that an edit is breeding with a non edit, it would be logical to assume that only about half of the total edits could be transferred to the offspring, since they are offering half of all the other 'genetics' so, some edits would be half or less.

And that's all I got, I think I covered it all x3
Good luck on your search! <3

Why should these two breed?: I haven't had the pleasure of Rping (And Owning) a baby Sandpainter yet and I hope to be able to soon. Aure would make a great, caring mother and it'd add alot more pictures to her Picture book (In her journal).
Also, I have a really good friend who has been wanting a painter for quite some time. She's tried multiple times to get one, but it seems that her luck is against her. I hope that I can give her one. <3

Plus...
Beautiful babies with amazing colors! @ 3@
(Gideon and Aure were both sold in the same flatsale.
How cool is that? ;D)
