    Clutching Round 22--CLOSED Empty Clutching Round 22--CLOSED

    Post  Kitsuneko Fri Sep 11, 2009 8:21 pm

    Okay, here's the clutching round. I totally fixed the results, by the way, it was getting too boring. XP

    Gold Camith, ridden by Peryl & Bronze Gloonth, ridden by O'thir
    12 eggs, one of which is a 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:

    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!
    b. Take care of it until I find its owner.

    f. Kick it.

    Your Name: Dracleia
    Candidate's Name: Tainea
    Gender: Female

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    Gold

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

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    Yeah, for the most part, I'm pretty extroverted. Most people I have been lucky enough to call my friends find me plesant enough. That's good enough for me.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    I'm getting a little jittery and impatient. I just have to keep telling myself that patience is the key to obtaining anything in life. If there is a dragon for me, then I will Impress. If not, I can always try again, or find another calling.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    I'd be a great leader. I helped tend to a number of stable hands on my father's farm. I'm not opposed to getting my hands dirty and working along side them, either. It doesn't take a real leader to be able to delegate, but it takes a whole lot more to be able to get in there right beside them and help.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    Roll my eyes and studiously ignore the commotion. Why do they find it amusing to make fun of others when it is clearly them that needs a taste of their own medicine? It makes me want to go give them a piece of my mind.

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    Yeah right. I'm not stupid enough to throw myself into danger for some ridiculous contest. Honestly, the pranks were bad enough, and now I have to 'prove' myself by doing something they deem worthy enough to satisfy their penchant for danger? I don't think so.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    Maybe give it some food and water, but let it find its own way home. I couldn't let a stray go hungry, but if it does belong to someone else, it wouldn't hurt it to find its way home with a full stomach.

    Your Name: Dracleia

    Green

    2. Any colors you do NOT want to get?
    Bronze, too much responsibility for me!

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    I like being part of a crowd, but not the center of attention.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    I just want to get it over with already.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    Sorry, I'm uh...allergic to responsibilty.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    Okay, I didn't actually do it, but I still feel a bit guilty for laughing.

    Of course not...What? I'm not scared...look, I'll go right in there while you scaredy-cats stay here...oh crap.

    Take care of it until I find its owner.

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

    On the other hand, I'm not going to turn down a dragon!

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?

    But who isn't?

    e. Roll my eyes and studiously ignore the commotion.
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess.

    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.

    Thank you, no. I've got better things to do with my time.

    Because no one pay attention to the blueriders.

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


    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    g. Huh? What Hatching?

    Wait, hatching already?! I thought the eggs hadn't been laid yet!

    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?

    *insert evil laughter here*

    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!

    Jerks! Can't wait till I'm a bronzerider. Then they'll learn...

    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'm no scardy cat!

    Yay! Gloonth is a daddy!

    (I know that things are largely random for hatching rounds, but I'd really prefer if neither of these two get the gold. They're so rare, and I have one in my wing already.)



    Your Name: EK
    Candidate's Name: Capell
    Future Rider Name, if Male: C'pell
    Gender: Male

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    d. Blue. They're fast and small, do a good job, and aren't the ones people are looking at.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    a. Gold. I don't want that kind of responsibility.

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

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    d. I don't care, I probably won't Impress anyway. I've no clue how I even got Searched to begin with. People usually don't even notice me, so why would a dragon?

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    b. I don't think I'd like being in charge. I'd rather just keep my head down and do what I'm told. It's a lot easier that way.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess. They probably wouldn't do the same for me, but I can at least pretend.

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    b. Of course not...What? I'm not scared...look, I'll go right in there while you scaredy-cats stay here...oh crap.

    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 feel bad, but there's not much I can do.

    Your Name: EK
    Candidate's Name: Renuic
    Future Rider Name, if Male: R'uic
    Gender: Male

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    b. Bronze, of course.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    a. Gold, or e. Green. That'd just be awkward.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    b. Yeah, for the most part, I'm pretty extroverted. I don't consider everyone to be a really close friend, but I'm perfectly fine with socializing.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient. Who wouldn't be excited right before a Hatching?

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    d. I'd be a great leader. I'm just not sure if I'd want that sort of responsibility yet. Maybe if I got some more practice first. I guess that's why they have the Candidacy and training.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess. Sometimes people really disgust me, like when jerks pull stunts like that. Maybe this place would be better off if Thread really did take us all.

    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 don't understand why some people need that sort of thing to make themselves feel better than others.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    b. Take care of it until I find its owner. It's not the poor dog's fault that it's neglected; it needs someone to take care of it, no matter how long it takes.

    Hah, well fortunately, the chances of a male Impressing a gold is already very very low. It'd pretty much take the gold being the last dragon to hatch with only one candidate left. I don't think you'll have to worry. XD

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    Bronze I need to prove myself to the Weyr.

    2. Any colors you do NOT want to get?
    Green They don't lead.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    Any of the above, I just can't decide! I can really deal with just about any group decently.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    Wow, it's almost time for the Hatching already? I barely noticed the time passing by. I've been busy trying to make a good impression on the riders, so I've been working hard.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    Get in line, peons! I'm in charge here...What do you mean, I'm not even a dragonrider yet? Since I'm the only one with brains here, I need to lead or this will devolve into chaos.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    Roll my eyes and studiously ignore the commotion. Don't they have more important things to do, like chores?

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    None of the above, I've got a better idea. Why don't they go in there? It was their idea, after all.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    Take care of it until I find its owner. Some people are jerks, that isn't the animal's fault.

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    Gold A girl can dream right? A green would be okay though.

    2. Any colors you do NOT want to get?
    Blue They just don't fit me.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    Ugh, just go away. When I'm busy, which is a lot of the time, don't distract me.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    I'm getting a little jittery and impatient. I can't stay a Candidate forever.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    I can lead, but I'd rather earn respect than try to command it. From what I know, it gets better results.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    Help the victim clean up the mess. Kindness is its own reward.

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    Of course not...What? I'm not scared...look, I'll go right in there while you scaredy-cats stay here...oh crap. Um, yeah. I think I just found trouble again.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    Chase it away. I really don't like dogs, but I don't want to hurt it.

    a. Gold

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

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    a. I love to gossip and be around people and show off.
    People who don't get noticed don't get remembered. Best to make sure everyone knows your name - you never know who might become useful one day.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient.
    I'm not going to bank on Impressing or anything... But still. It sure is a lovely thought!

    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?
    You don't need a rank to have a little power. Act like you have authority and some people will listen to you. Enough of these people and you really do have a kind of power. An actual position sure would help, though.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    b. Feel a little guilty about how they took it, but still congratulate myself on a job well done.
    Shells... I didn't mean for it to turn out this badly... Still, hopefully they've learned a lesson and I won't have to do it again!

    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.
    When people try to manipulate you, you have to out-maneuver them!

    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 shouldn't, there's no point... but aww, he looks hungry...

    I know how to have fun, and people like me. If I die tomorrow I'll feel satisfied at least that I lived a life full of pleasure!

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    a. Are you kidding? I'll be the first one on the sands.
    Are the eggs cracking yet? No? How about now? No? Are they now?...

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    a. Sorry, I'm uh...allergic to responsibility.
    Firestone drills? Pfft. There's enough people doing that already, they won't miss you. Let's go for a swim or something.

    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.
    That's really not cool, but I also don't want the guys calling me a wuss for getting all offended about someone else's problems.

    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!
    You're all going with me, too! Come on, live a little!

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    b. Take care of it until I find its owner.
    Poor mutt. Well, I know everybody, so if he follows me around long enough we're bound to run into his owner eventually!
