Stages and Requirements
Toddler: 2-4 First stage the child is made, and given to a carefully selected gaian.
The toddler is highly dependent on it's new parent, whether or just food or sometimes transportation. Some may be going through delicate processes of metamorphoses, a tadpole to a frog, a caterpillar to a butterfly.. Or, they're just a young child in need of love and care. Along with learning their basics of knowledge, such as the abcs, 123s, and social behaviors... No matter what it is, it's your job to raise them right.
Good luck!
Requirements: 1 months length Knowledge of ABCs[x] Knowledge of 1-10[x]2 play dates[x][X]1 journal entry from either parents or child's POV
[x]Child: 5-7 Second stage, child is assigned an egg to take care of with the help of the lab (it's left in the lab to keep required heating)
Your child's maturing, your influence as well as others have shaped their growth. Now they can speak fluently, write, read... All of that stuff. And as such, they get to come see their dragon egg. Which will be their partner for life.
At the same time, they start learning more about their capabilities, learning what they can do (as a genetically altered being) that makes them special. And while there are some they may learn on their own, theres also what they learn in a class of specialized professionals.
They're still dependent on you as a parent though, and if you don't get it right now the next coming years are going to be alot less fun.

Preteen: 8-12 Third stage, the egg has hatched and children begin attending training classes.
This stage marks that awkward phase where you think you're grown up, but you're not quite there yet. They're now starting to shape their own personalities. They don't need you to hodl their hand while crossing the street anymore. And their dragon egg hatches at this time, in which a large reptilian like creature comes to stay wherever you may be residing. The goal is for the two to be best friends.
Also, classes begin to progress. Your child is now offered magic and melee. These will teach the basics of both, in which they'll learn which they like and which they don't like. And they'll get to know their dragons.

Teen: 13-16 Fourth stage, Children begin attending competitions and applying their teachings. They also start more advanced classes.
Ah teenagers, this is where your child will get the joyful rush of hormones and interest in the opposite sex.. Or as it may be, same sex. The point is this must be the hardest point of one's life, dealing with the new feelings and hormones, and at the same time dealing with the mass of classes D-corp is trying to shove down your throat before you get too old. This is, by far, the hardest stage of your life.
By now they've chosen whether they prefer magic or melee, and can now focus on mastering those skills. Along with more classes being shoved along, learning about dragon history, and biology of themselves and their dragons... And who can forget sex ed? And most importantly, learning their dragon's abilities. Both flying and fighting, because no one wants an out of control ball of acid flying at them. All the while trying to balance a social life. And you, as the parent, get to keep them out of trouble.

Young adult: 17-21 Fifth stage, Children continue competition at more advanced levels. Also undergoing trials assigned by the D-Corp
Hormones are starting to level off, the children may or may not have adjusted to these changes by now, but most have "grown up" by now. At this point, they start running scenarios with each other in a safe environment. They have battles, races, etc, all to get their skills perfected. Compared to teen, things seem to be getting easier now. No more horrible reading and homework! Yay. At this point, they're probably ready to "leave the nest", but they can't just yet, though if absolutely nessicary D-corp will offer apartments on sight.

Adult: 22+ Adults start up jobs at D-corp. Some are permitted to live outside of the main building, Assignments are still given out. More will be known when this stage is reached.
Finally, you've reached an end. Your child gets to settle in his or her own place, or stay at home as the case may sometimes be. Now is a good time to build a family, since classes have all ended. And you can support this family by the money and things you make by working for D-corp.
Or you can stay single and simply make more money for yourself.
But no matter what, you still work for D-corp, even if you get another job in the meantime.
They can refuse, but who knows what would happen.
Requirements:Last stage, so no requirements to grow.(cause there is no growing)
However you will need to participate in various "quests" that relate to their dragon and their skills, and perhaps other tests. But you'll be notified for each of these. (PMed)
