    Ok, so that takes care of the request for the chat thread (Thanks for bringing that up, Ky!). Link to the sign-up is here: CLICKEY CLICKEY


    And the link for the roleplay thread will be available soon. But now its time to move to important matters.

    I made it![/fancypost]

    That works. Both of my species have a camp based society with lots of spread and a few main cities where the thrones and royal family are. Very medieval.

    Let's do some math!


    Fulhai and Kaian lifespans:
    At a rate of ~30 years for each generation to reproduce for these two species, they are now ~265 generations in. If each generation has an average of 4 children who have their own children per couple, and only two hundred of each made it through the portal, we now have


    oh no


    in the last 700 years we have gone from less than a billion to 7 billion with medicine and hygiene. Given that magic would work nearly as well as modern medicine to treat diseases the dragon's population is now only limited by resources on the planet. I'll go with ONLY a quarter billion each. I really don't know how to balance this out given the time elapsed here. These are big civilizations.


    Lune's species is now close to 90th gen.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; background-color: transparent; width: 300px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font: trebuchet ms; text-transform: lowercase;]well, she isn't the only one of her species. it is very ancient anyways, so i suppose it works out okay that she's so young..although, i still could change it just a tad so the timeline isn't off. what would you suggest? c:

    Heh... Im not good at math, but considering the first, second, and third gen of Cosmic Dragpns were born from galaxies, stars, nebulas, and black holes colliding, the population of them would be very, but as time progresses the Cosmic Dragons that hatch will be weaker, and not as powerful as those born from space....
    Angler Dragons are the hybrid of Water/Ocean/River/Bay/ect... Dragons and Electric Dragons, and the two I would presume fight alot, the Angler Dragons may be in the hundreds...
    My other Dragons are kinda shiz normal....


    ()-() ehhh I feel like a nerd....

    Same for me. I still need to fill out the Relationships section for Maleth, then I gotta start working on Greenhorn.


    Don't look at me for help, I'm not good with intense math either XD But my theory is that the Ethereal dragons age slower than the rest of the other clans.

    Holly shiz... How long would each race of dragon hold their egg before laying it... and how long till the egg hatches?

    This culture divide is actually going to be pretty interesting to RP out. My original culture for them was a racially segregated one. The "Pureblood" dragons who had not interbred and the FAR more diverse Mutts who resulted from interbreeding. Now the divide will be the rapid breeding, quick dying, plentiful dragons and the "ancients". The dragons who seemingly never die, the knowledge keepers, the ones who are practically forgotten in day to day life. They would be such a minority after such a long time that the majority, the fast dying dragons, would now see them as a political hinderance or irrelevance depending on how they have positioned themselves over the years. It wouldn't be far-fetched to have certain groups in a populate that were "ancientophobes".

    Ok I've already worked out the Ethereal life cycle to you guys. Fire and Ice Dragons are sort of in a state of rapid survival, so they don't retain their eggs for very long, and their life cycles are in sync with the harshness of their climates.


    Nature and Tidal are naturally provided for, so they are more at ease than the other clans. The majority of their populations are therefore not as long lived, and they rarely retain their eggs.


    All young dragons are ready to hatch when they are laid, but it takes the right conditions fr them togo through the hatching process.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; background-color: transparent; width: 300px; height: auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font: trebuchet ms; text-transform: lowercase;] Ahh. I see. interesting!!

    All the numbers should roughly scale to their lifespan, should they not? ~3k y/o dragon species would hold eggs much longer than the 140 y/o dragon species. I thought clan affiliation was purely political, and species was what mattered.

    Clan Affiliation depends on what species you are! There isn't one kind of ethereal or fire or nature dragon. It's both political and dependent on species.

    So largely, in general, species may or may not have a government structure that will affiliate the species with a clan. Would there be a possibility that a fire clan faction would split off and join, say, the water clan for political reasons? Have there been large-scale battles between clans?
