Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aged-Out Impressions are for those characters who were Candidates up to, and including, the Turn that Dragonflight TimeJumped forward who would have Aged-Out during the Ten Turn period we've skipped.

Limited dragon colours are available in a variety of different games, contests, and activities! There is no limit on the number of Aged-Out characters you may have Impress, but there are colour limitations per player - make sure to pay attention to that. Specific rules on how to obtain each type of dragon are below!

Note: You cannot enter the same character in multiple colour categories at the same time. Once the character becomes ineligible in on category, you may apply in a different category.



To Determine What Clutches Your Character is Elligible For
Take the age of the Candidate BEFORE the jump and add the number that would make them 21 Turns old. Then, using the number you added, add that to the timeline values to figure out what clutches up to and including you could potentially have Impressed at.
Example:

• Candidate A is aged 16 at Sharath's Death => 16 + 5 = 21
  So, -10 + 5 = -5
  Therefore, this Candidate is eligible for all Featured Clutches up to and including Clutch 5 on the Feature Clutch List.
  
• Candidate B is aged 12 at Sharath's Death => 12 + 9 = 21
  So, -10 + 9 = -1
  Therefore, this Candidate is eligible for Featured Clutches up to and including Clutch 8 on the Feature Clutch list
  
• Candidate C is aged 18 at Sharath's Death => 18 + 3 = 21
  So, -10 + 3 = -7
  Therefore, this Candidate is eligible for Featured Clutches up to and including Clutch 4 on the Feature Clutch list
  
  **Make sure to take note of the location of the clutches you are interested in - your character MUST have been at that location at the time of the clutch's hatching to have Impressed.
  This MUST be included in the character's history for character approval.

Available Dragons and Associated Clutches
**Please Note: You can only impressed non-green and non-blue dragons from those clutches that they are listed under. For example, if you character Impressed a Silver, it would either have to be from Sharath's or Mirath's clutch. This is further limited by the date up until which your character was elligible to Stand.**

  There is definite tension in the air surrounding this clutch. Dragon and rider still felt the pain of loss that was only three turns in healing. Unease and wariness were heavy in the goldrider's mind. And the Hatching Sands themselves were rather... confusing. When one would look upon them in the morning and again in the evening, eggs would be shifted around. Strange designs would be seen in the sands. Cepheith clearly would not leave her eggs in one place, feeling they could be in better positions where she could watch them. Some speculated the strange "sand circles" were eggs being pushed around. Others decided it was the gold herself dragging her tail. Yet no one ever seemed to catch her in the act. When the time finally arrived, even the twilight of the fading light was strangely colored from clouds and dust in the air. Needless to say, this was going to be one interesting clutch! Assuming the eggs remained in one place...

• (-7 Turns) Clutch 4: Gold Killakeeth (Trine) (Sire: Bronze ) - Halloween Ghouls
  Available Dragons: 3 Brown, 1 Bronze

  Since Killakeeth had laid her maiden clutch, the Hatching Sands had taken on an eerie quality. Even during the day there seemed to be..... something... stalking from the crannies of the large cave or lurking among the shadows of the eggs. Anyone who enter usually had the feeling of eyes watching them from out of the shadows and the Hatching wasn't made an easier as the eggs decided to hatch in the middle of the night. Glowstones set out barely fended off the darkness and set the eggs in a creepy green glow.

  It's quite clear that Mirath is pleased with her clutch, since it seems she never stops cooing and fussing over them. The crimson is curled to one side of the clutch and keeps stretching out her neck to nudge and peer at her eggs, paying special attention to the smallest ones. But whenever anyone comes by to visit, she pulls back and gladly lets them see the eggs, trilling welcome and encouragement at them. It's apparent that this is one dragon who will have no problems letting Candidates near her babies.

• (-4 Turns) Clutch 7: Crimson Lanterneth (Trine) (Sire: Bronze Plexith) - Flower Theme
  Available Dragons: 1 Brown, 1 Bronze, 1 Crimson

  It is obvious that the tiny slender crimson is smug, with a total of four good size clutches, producing one ever two years or so Lanterneth is in fine spirits, nearly aglow in pride as she lays curled about the smallest eggs of her clutch. Va’il is not much better, overjoyed at his girl’s newest clutch of eggs and excited to add to his arm sleeves. A grand total of 17 eggs are in the sands and have been separated into three groups. The five smallest are snug against her belly, and the rest have been placed into two groups of six not far from her protective but prideful gaze.

  show spoilerhide spoiler

  
  It was always a joyous time when the healer's crimson breed. The gregarious dragon couldn't help but broadcast her elation to the entire weyr. Where other dragons may protectively shield their clutches from prying eyes Miath welcomed anyone and everyone who wanted to share in her experience to the Hatching Sands even if you weren't technically supposed to be there. What was the harm in a little fun after all?
  
  Despite the impossibility of it, she can never be convinced that the black known as Rynsemth is not in fact the clutch father...Though Solath is quite welcome to spend time with her as he is a lovely and pleasant dragon to be around!

Username: Shaddaling
Character: Naanash
Clutch Impressed From: Sharath's Zodiac Clutch - Trine
Character Age: 31

Dragon Name: Netunnuth
Dragon Colour: Crimson
Dragon Inspiration: she has art, so soft and lovely looking
Build & Size: Below Average/Average
Personality: Netunnuth knows you well, Naanash. We could do great things together, if we are willing to follow the right path.

Netunnuth is a pleasant, clear spoken soul and much needed soothing agent when it comes to her partner’s prickly sharp tongue and steadiness throughout all worries. She is polite, calm, and friendly to her peer, superiors, and inferiors alike and does her best not to stir up other peoples mess. She isn’t a sly dragon, her thoughts are clear and settled as that is what she means and nothing more nothing less.

She certainly has a sharp mind and clear eyes, a discerning lady, when she enjoys something she explores it full out to her and her partner’s ability to better understand and judge the quality of objects and other things that strike her fancy. Her judgement in certain matters tend to be impeccable as she ages.

Netunnuth is a gentle and careful dragon, she does not take risks, focus on keeping on a safe well known path and frets slightly whenever Naanash venture off. She is rather conservative, slow to change view from the traditional beliefs and restrained in the desire of luxuries and other such things.

Status: Breeder

Netunnuth spent much of her months fretting over the decision before her. A Fighter was the traditional outlook, wasn’t it truly? But the personal risks involved in thread fighting scared her silly and what it would do to Naanash was abhorrent. How could she trap the other half of her into something he clearly did not desire?

A breeder was… acceptable, it certainly wasn’t radical, for there was others. It wasn’t new it had been around but what if she didn’t clutch? What if she failed at the one thing that was expected for her to manage?

Personal risks and the deadly nature of thread won out, and Netunnuth shunned the firestone in favor of perhaps not following the full traditional way, but something still worthy in its own to her partner.

Claim Approved. =3

Crimson Raffle is close!

Draconic, Revel, Shadda, you all get the dragons of your choice! :3:l

Username: Meepfur
Character: Allia
Clutch Impressed From: Clutch 2 (Banshidheth)
Character Age: 29

Dragon Name: Somnuth
Dragon Colour: Blue
Dragon Inspiration: The House of Sleep
Build & Size: below average build; very large size
Personality:
Peace given form as a dragon, Somnuth is defined by an aura of calm that never leaves him. Thread might fall, war might rage, but grace, patience, and confidence will carry him through it all. Not confidence in himself, but confidence that what will be will be, a faith in fate and a willingness to accept whatever it brings, even if what it brings is his death. Though he is in no rush to see his end, and would not give up his life without a fight, he understands that everyone must die, and does not fear that eventuality, nor fret about whether it will come sooner or later; he would certainly prefer that it be later, but it does not trouble him. There is little at all that appears to trouble this dragon, who can endure jest and insult and threat to himself, who will never complain of discomfort or trivial things. They are not worth his time, not in an age where strife has taken such a toll.

While he possesses all the agility his color is known for, his grace aided by a lean and pleasing build, he is far more notable for his ability to be still. Not awkwardly frozen in place, not poised and waiting, but still in mind as much as in body, just being. This is the state he likes best, without need or want for thought, just being in a moment while it unfolds. He is not always a passive observer, however, and enjoys taking an active role in endeavors that mean something to him. He will fight Thread to his last breath, but is less ready to fight in battle; nothing less than a cause that he believes in wholeheartedly will move him to trade blows. For Somnuth, neither Wherhold nor Weyr was dear to his heart: one too willing to abandon morals and sacrifice innocents to achieve victory, the other too bent on revenge to admit that the revolution was a product of their own blind adherence to tradition. The tactics and unabashed violence of the Wherhold system disturbed him deeply, but so too did the idea of the Weyr system, where color and not worth determined one's fate. Somnuth believes that everyone deserves the chance to live their own life, to dream and flourish, and now that the rest of the world finally seems to be coming to that conclusion - or dragged to it if necessary - he is finding real contentment at last, no longer caught in a conflict he was born into but was wholly unsuited for.

He is as quiet as he is calm, soft-spoken and unlikely to bespeak any human who is not His. He is polite and gracious in all his dealings with others, and tries to be attentive to them, as he does value their opinions and needs, but he is prone to drifting thoughts. Sometimes he will realize on his own that he's drifted, other times someone may need to draw his attention back, but he will always apologize for slipping, and ask that whatever he missed be repeated. This tendency is no indication of boredom or disrespect, simply the product of a wandering mind. Though he spends considerable time on reflection and idle thought, it doesn't usually take him long to arrive at conclusions and make decisions. He knows himself very well, and he knows what feels right, and he will always follow where his heart leads him.

He was attracted to Allia for her quiet, observant nature, appreciating her ability to withold judgement and empathizing with her need to understand. He sensed that she was overwhelmed and sorely in need of some peace in her life, and would benefit from his calming influence. And when she overthinks and takes too long to reach a decision, he can give her a nudge in the direction her heart lies.

Poem:
tranquil blue hatchling
finds his way to troubled girl
offers her his peace

Username: Shaddaling
Character: Jemi
Clutch Impressed From: Sharath
Character Age: 31

Dragon Name: Lupith
Dragon Colour: Black
Dragon Inspiration: He has art… but Grims man, I stare at him and go Black Dog

Build & Size: Very Large / Muscular

Personality: Need a Partner, Jemi? Don’t think you can find one as steadfast as me. Let’s go together, hmm partner?

Lupith is loyal, a steady constant presence to build his rider up and through thick or thin, right or wrong, Lupith is not going to leave his rider’s side. He is an honest dragon, she certainly is going to get an earful of his feelings about any decisions she does that he doesn’t agree with. Strongly ethical to boot and with a stern sense of right and wrong, these conversations can happen fairly often.

Not to say being such a strong willed dragon doesn’t cause problems. Lupith nit-picks, nearly anything could be done better, placed better, her partners could treat her better. He could be polished to a higher shine, his meal could be more delicious. Lupith struggles with his selfish needs and sometimes needs to be told straight out that he is being selfish because he doesn’t always see it. It is merely what he deserves, isn’t it not?


Prompt:

Brave they go, to the cold between
First attempt to the emptiness
it freezes, it bites, it saves
Warrior women with close crop hair
Brave black, loyal and strong
Wings surge and the skie screams

And
C
R
A
C
K
Gone
Wait, wait, wait for them to appear
And with screaming cries, voices entwine
They crack, diving from the skies
voices alight with thrilled joy.

(My poetry hardly follows a rhyme scheme)
