    Clutching Round 23--CLOSED Empty Clutching Round 23--CLOSED

    Post  Kitsuneko Fri Sep 18, 2009 9:41 pm

    The gods of irony must be laughing at me right now. Seriously, just after fixing a gold egg in the last clutch, the generator gives me a natural gold. XD Well, everyone who missed out, here's another chance!

    Gold Tiemath, ridden by Lache & Bronze Kaith, ridden by L'tor
    14 eggs, and there's 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:

    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.
    d. I'd be a great leader!
    e. Get in line, peons! I'm in charge here...What do you mean, I'm not even a dragonrider yet?

    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!
    b. Take care of it until I find its owner.
    c. Maybe give it some food and water, but let it find its own way home.
    d. Ignore it.
    e. Get away from me, you mangy mutt!
    f. Kick it.

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


    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    a. Gold. What? A girl can dream, can't she?

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    f. Nope, I'm fine with any of them. I'm even honored to have the oppertunity to be here.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    a. I love to gossip and be around people and show off. I don't like to gossip myself, but you can learn a lot of useful information by just listening to idle chat.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient.

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    d. I'd be a great leader! At least, I hope so. It's all about commanding authority and your demeanor.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    f. Help the victim clean up the mess. There are always going to be bullies, but it only takes one helpful, friendly face to make a difference to the one who was the butt end of the joke.

    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 really do have more important things to do, sorry.

    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'm a sucker for a cute dog, but I have no business taking someone else's pet, so hopefully it'll find its way home.

    Your Name: EK
    Candidate's Name: Serigg
    Future Rider Name, if Male: S'ig
    Gender: Male

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    b. Bronze. They're the ones who call all the shots! I don't like taking orders from other people, but I'll do it if that's what it takes to climb my way to the top.

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    a. Gold. No way. I'm here to fight. Even a green would be better than a gold, as weird as that'd be.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    b. Yeah, for the most part, I'm pretty extroverted. I'm not going to be stupid about it and jump at every chance to just get people's attention, but I do like having some good fun with my friends. And, I'll admit it, I like some of the attention, too.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient. I'm really excited at the chance, but dragons are still pretty new to me. They're not like boats at all. I hope that I can pick up on how to work with one fast.

    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? Sure, some things might be a bit different in a Weyr, but other things are pretty universal no matter where you go. Just give me a bit more time. Then I'm definitely going to be the one calling the shots.

    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. Everyone's gotta laugh now and again, too, you know? That's what jokes are for. And that really wasn't taking it too far.

    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. Now if the stakes were a lot higher, then maybe I'd think about it. It's all about weighing the two together.

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    b. Take care of it until I find its owner. Poor guy. Wonder if his owner was one of those riders that didn't make it back from threadfall..

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

    1. What color do you particularly want to Impress?
    d. Blue. What, is that so weird? Am I supposed to say gold or something? Blues are great fighters - why wouldn't I want that?

    2. Any colors you DO NOT want to get?
    a. Gold. I know that there's a gold egg sitting out there now, and believe you me, I'm going to hide behind all the other girl candidates when it hatches. I was going to try and skip out on this clutch, but if I did that, my borther'd be pretty mad at me.

    3. Extrovert or Introvert?
    a. I love to gossip and be around people and show off. Well, maybe less the gossiping part, but sometimes that can be fun, too.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    a. Are you kidding? I'll be the first one on the sands. Hello! Dragons hatching! Doesn't happen every day, you know!

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?
    d. I'd be a great leader! Not everyone else seems to agree with me, though. Wonder why..

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    d. Laugh my head off and congratulate whoever did it. Oh man - did you see that? That was hilarious! I've gotta go talk to that guy after the Candidate Master is through with him.

    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. Gah! Why does it always end up like this?!

    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 like dogs, and all that, but really? Letting your dog run around unattended in a Weyr? That's just asking for him to become dragon food.

    b. Bronze

    I have every intention of being Weyrleader some day.

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

    Nothing against greens or anything, but you can't really aspire to any sort of leadership as a greenrider.

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

    Let someone else be the flashy one, I'll be the one getting stuff done.

    4. Nervous about the Hatching?
    b. I'm getting a little jittery and impatient.

    Impatient more than jittery

    5. Are you a leader, or a follower?

    It's all about commanding respect and getting things done.

    6. Someone played a mean-spirited prank on another candidate. What do you do?
    e. Roll my eyes and studiously ignore the commotion.

    Pranks are pointless.

    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.

    Pointless...

    8. You find someone's stray pet canine. What do you do?
    b. Take care of it until I find its owner.

    Though I have to wonder about the responsibility of someone who'd let their canine run free around a Weyr...

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

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

    I've been through this whole thing enough times to realize I just want a dragon. Though I can't help casting my eyes at that gold egg...

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

    See above.

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

    Hey, it's no fun to be by yourself all the time!

    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.

    As I have been.

    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?

    No, you're doing it WRONG! If you'd just listened to me in the first place...

    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.

    And hey, if you thought what I did was mean, you should have seen what she tried to do to me!

    7. Some of your friends dare you to go somewhere dangerous. What do you do?
    c. I'd dare them right back. All or none!

    If one of us is going down, we all are!

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

    Dragon food.
