    Clutching Round 19--CLOSED Empty Clutching Round 19--CLOSED

    Post  Kitsuneko Fri Aug 07, 2009 11:24 am

    Gold Tiemath, ridden by Lache & Brown Rajiyath, ridden by R'yn
    11 eggs, no gold egg

    1. The quiz can help your chances of getting the color you want, but the final result is still a matter of chance. Please don't whine or ask to redo it if you get something other than you wanted.
    2. You may send up to two candidates to a single clutch, but there's no limit for your total number of dragons. Please complete a new form for each candidate. (Different Name/Gender/Quiz thing for each candidate. I don't mind if they're both on the same post).
    3. There's no limit to the total number of candidates accepted for a clutch, so if it ends up more candidates than eggs, your character may not Impress. Better luck next time.
    4. Any candidates who don't Impress would have to be submitted again to the next clutch, but there's no limit to how many times they can stand.
    5. In general, girls Impress gold and green, boys Impress blue, brown, and bronze. Male-female and female-male pairings are rare but possible, depending on availability of suitable candidates and the dragons' own quirky personalities. Sexuality doesn't enter into it.
    6. You are allowed to name your dragons after they impress, but they must end in -th like all all Pernese dragons.
    7. Dragons are not considered adults until a full cycle has been completed, three weeks after their hatching; the rider list contains information about what clutch they hatched from and whether they are considered adults or weyrlings--this will be updated as soon as possible after the Hatching is posted.
    8. The only information I need for your candidate is name, gender and quiz answers. Dragons come with their color and a personality trait or quirk. You need never develop the characters beyond this, but embellish them however you want. There may be a roleplay area if anyone's interested.
    --If you're going to use Shard's Candidate Generator, would you mind expanding on your answer a bit when you have one of the alternate responses? It gets a bit difficult to judge with what basically amounts to a blank answer.

    Reply to this post and fill out the following form:

    Your Name:
    Candidate's Name:
    Future Rider Name, if Male:
    Gender:

    f. Help the victim clean up the mess.
    g. Dangit, whoever pranked me is going to get a fist in the face when I find them!
    h. I may laugh it off now, but wait until you see my revenge...

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    a. I'm totally gonna win that bubbly pie/mark/useless trinket, no problem!
    b. Of course not...What? I'm not scared...look, I'll go right in there while you scaredy-cats stay here...oh crap.
    c. I'd dare them right back. All or none!
    d. Yeah right. I'm not stupid enough to throw myself into danger for some ridiculous contest.
    e. But it's like...dark in there and stuff, right? Too scary for me.
    f. Trick them into going instead, and then call the Candidate Master.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    a. Hug it and feed it and love it and call it George!

    Your Name: EK
    Candidate's Name: Nehari
    Gender: Female

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    e. Green! I think they're more my size.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    a. Gold.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    b. Yeah, for the most part, I'm pretty extroverted. I like being around lots of friends.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    f. Those dragons can take as long as they want to hatch, I'll be right against the wall when they do, anyway. I'm really flattered that I was chosen for Impression, but dragons still make me a bit nervous. They're so big!

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    c. I could lead if I had to, but I'm more comfortable taking orders than giving them. I like to step back and take things as they come, and it's easier to do that if I let someone else take charge and lead the group.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess. I'd feel bad just watching what had happened. That's no way to treat someone who you work and live with.

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    f. Trick them into going instead, and then call the Candidate Master. Ha! They thought that they were going to trick me!

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    a. Hug it and feed it and love it and call it George! Oh- I love animals! I suppose that I'll have to give him back if his real owner shows up, though..

    ---

    Your Name: EK
    Candidate's Name: Yshani
    Gender: Female

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    d. Blue. Nevermind its my favorite color, these guys can really fly. They're fast and they can last a full Threadfall, just about! That's my kind of dragon.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    a. Gold. Ugh. Breeding. No thanks!

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    a. I love to gossip and be around people and show off. It's more fun with they're all friends, but I don't mind it if they're strangers, too. That's how to make more friends, right?

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient. And I'd bet that anyone who says otherwise is either lying or just stupid.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    c. I could lead if I had to, but I'm more comfortable taking orders than giving them. It's not that I don't have great ideas - it's more that I feel that others can take to that role better than me. I'll support them all the way.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    c. Okay, I didn't actually do it, but I still feel a bit guilty for laughing. It was a funny joke, but it was also kind of mean. I hope that the guy who was pranked isn't too upset.

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    a. I'm totally gonna win that bubbly pie/mark/useless trinket, no problem! I'd dare them, too, but I know that they'd back out.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    c. Maybe give it some food and water, but let it find its own way home. Dogs are smart. They can take care of themselves. Their owners, however, aren't usually as intelligent or capable.

    Gender: Male

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    f. Doesn't matter, I'll take anything!

    Well, most anything. Gold would be kinda weird. And I'm not too sure I'd want a green.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    e. Green

    Yeah, really hope I don't get green. Mating flights *shudder*

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    d. Friends are nice, but I like plenty of time to myself as well.

    It's easier to think by yourself.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    e. Wow, it's almost time for the Hatching already? I barely noticed the time passing by.

    Hey, I've kept myself busy and look! Eggs are already hardening! Some folks focus too much on the Hatching.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    f. Other

    I think I could be a great leader with some training and a chance.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    g. Dangit, whoever pranked me is going to get a fist in the face when I find them!

    Whoever thought that was funny's gonna die!

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?

    Stupid dogs...


    Candidate's Name: Sena
    Future Rider Name, if Male: n/a
    Gender: Female

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    a. Gold & f. Doesn't matter, I'll take anything!

    I mean, I'd love to be a goldrider, but since it doesn't seem like it'll happen this clutch, I'll take anything that flies!

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    f. Nope, I'm fine with any of them

    Just get me in the air!

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    b. Yeah, for the most part, I'm pretty extroverted.

    I'm not a gossip or drama queen or anything, I just like people.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    a. Are you kidding? I'll be the first one on the sands.

    Oh, fine I'll admit to being just a little nervous.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    c. I could lead if I had to, but I'm more comfortable taking orders than giving them.

    As long as those orders aren't stupid, y'know? I hate incompetent leadership.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess.

    That kinda stuff's just stupid. We don't have to all be best buds, but we could at least be polite to each other!

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    a. I'm totally gonna win that bubbly pie/mark/useless trinket, no problem!

    Dragonriders can't be cowards!

    Aw! Puppy! I bet it's owner really misses it!

    Candidate's Name: Raymel
    Future Rider Name, if Male: R'mel
    Gender: Male

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    c. Brown, the steady backbone of the fighting wings.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    f. Nope, I'm fine with any of them

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    d. Friends are nice, but I like plenty of time to myself as well.
    And you know, I don't regret it, it's been a pretty good way to stay out of trouble...

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient.
    I grew up at the Weyr, I have friends and family that expect me to Impress, and I'm afraid I'll let them down.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    c. I could lead if I had to, but I'm more comfortable taking orders than giving them.
    Who needs the pressure of making the wrong choice? Nobody blames the guy just following orders!

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess.
    This is ridiculous, are we a bunch of kids? Someone needs to grow up.

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    d. Yeah right. I'm not stupid enough to throw myself into danger for some ridiculous contest.
    I may look like a coward, but I'll be the one laughing when they're thrown out of Candidacy for their behavior.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?

    d. Ignore it.
    Ugh, this is a /Weyr/, not a kennel. If someone lost a canine then they weren't taking good enough care of it anyway. Someone should make a rule about this... *grumble grumble grumble*

    Bronze
    The leaders, the gold-chasers, and the /future/.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    Green
    Not really into the whole proddy cycle thing...

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    a. I love to gossip and be around people and show off.
    Maybe not so much gossip as show off. And who can blame me, I'm a pretty awesome guy!

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    e. Wow, it's almost time for the Hatching already? I barely noticed the time passing by.
    Time flies when you're having fun, and I better have a /lot/ of it now, because come hatching day I'll catch the eye of a dragon and my days of shenanigans are over!

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    e. Get in line, peons! I'm in charge here...What do you mean, I'm not even a dragonrider yet?
    Psh, being a leader comes naturally to me. Just act like you've got the authority to tell people what to do, and tell them to do it in a way that makes them too worried to question you. Easy.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    a. Snicker quietly to myself, glad that my plan worked perfectly.
    That guy was a total dork, anyway. Picking on him is just a good way to show all my friends how much better I am than him!

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    a. I'm totally gonna win that bubbly pie/mark/useless trinket, no problem!
    A little showing off never hurt anyone, and when I'm done, they'll be even more in awe of me! Hahahaha!

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    c. Maybe give it some food and water, but let it find its own way home.
    I have no beef with animals, but I don't have time to play nursemaid for it.
