Checked a descrip of mine that's been sitting in the queue and found new comments that made me laugh.

 

Sadica's idea of "fun" is not one that fits her fellow Neotropicals' views. Though she is a fruit eater, she likes capturing small animals and crippling them, then coddling and playing with them before handing them to a carnivorous dragon when she becomes bored. This practice has gotten her rejected from many a dragon's company, but she retains a friend in Quiller, to whom she gives the feathers of her victims.

Thanks Hawktalon! I can't remember if it was Sadica's name that inspired the description, or the idea of the description inspiring the name, bust she's named after the word sadist. And oh man MoonShark, that's horrible but I'm laughing xd.png

Guilty as charged.

 

OK - I thought I'd share a few before they get approved for a change:

 

Z'erqus dreams of one day becoming a clown in a real circus. He practices the waddle. He paints his nose red. He regularly puts his face in the way of flying confectionery goods. No one has the heart to tell him that he's bigger than most circus tents.

There is a wind travelling around the world, a never-ending storm destroying everything in its path, leaving behind devastated lands and the remains of plants and animals sucked dry of all life. The affected areas take years or even decades before they bear life again and even then it's never the same. No one knows what caused the storm, for how long it has been going, or if it will ever end but all know that a Tsunami travels in front of it heralding certain doom for those who aren't swift enough to flee their fate.

Her reasons for travelling alongside this special phenomenon are manifold, warning other dragons of the danger and studying a unique (as far as she knows) apparition among them. And then there's all the free food up for picking by a fearless wyvern of course.

 

Accept: Hmm that seems to be written quite... idk about poetic, maybe just nicely... either way *gives flowers to Herk* ~D

Accept:

 

I thought I'd try something different - seems it worked smile.gif

 

Missy is obsessed with human socks. Whenever she sees a sock she hasn't in her collection yet, she HAS to have it. So when a pair of socks gets put on a clothes line to dry, there is a very real danger this dragoness will swoop down and steal one for her ever growing hoard (but only ever one - she doesn't care for duplicates). In extreme cases of spotting a rare rainbow-stripe-knee-length sock she doesn't own yet, she has been known to grap it right from the foot of the human wearing it, shaking as long as it took to get the foot (and the human attached to it) out of HER sock.

She has heard rumours about the bestest sock of all time, referred to affectionately as "Socky", "The Socks", or "Sockmeister" and can't wait to add that one to her collection.

 

Accept:

Accept: Noo! My socks! *clutches sock monkey* ~Storm

 

She will get them eventually - even if she has to wait for washing day tongue.gif

 

Vecna specialises in the creation of magical implants and replacement body parts for dragons of all sizes and breeds. Whenever a dragon is injured beyond a White's capability to heal, Vecna is the dragon to go to. He has crafted elaborate wing replacements, ornate artificial paws, and stunningly beautiful tails, moving with a magical grace that rivals that of the real deal. He has enchanted jewels to become funtional eyes and in his down time creates teeth from diamonds. His artifacts are practical and aesthetic at the same time.

There are many rumours claiming that Vecna uses unnatural, evil means to accomplish his feats, but most of his clients don't really care, they only care that they can walk, fly, and see again - often better than before.

Lyszz is very upset with her mate's obsession with replacing parts of his body with magical artifacts. To teach him a lesson about chopping off perfectly healthy body parts, she has started a rumour about a magical HEAD replacements, hoping he will see the foolishness of his ways before killing himself in the process.

 

Accept:

Accept:

Accept: Ah, I see you have heard the story. Disregard previous comment! xd.png ~Storm

 

Read it in an early issue of KODT. Lesson learned: There is no plot so obviously suicidal that players won't try it.

 

Dipsy is extremely talented vocal-wise. Almost as variable as an Ochredrake he has mastered several syllables that almost sound like human speech. Extremely proud, he can be heard calling them out almost constantly: Po, La, and the combination he loves so much that he always repeats them in pairs of two, in-KY-In-ky.

 

Accept: Pffff at first I thought "Oh great is Dipsy a new nickname for me?" then I realized it was the Teletubbies dragon. ~D

Accept: A combo so nice, you gotta say it twice! wink.gif ~Storm

 

The embarassing part? Dipsy is a proud Falconi (well it's his fault for being born with such a code).

 

Burrowed close to an area where most of the Coppers of the clan reside, not much prey ever comes his way. The far more effective (and mobile) hunters seem to catch anything worthwile in the area and so Floranino has grown extremely thin and malnourished in his lair. In fact, he probabbly would have starved already if one shining orange individual wouldn't be so clumsy as to lose part of his prey time and again, often right above Floranino's circle of dead undergrowth. Floranino is disgusted by such incompetence and if he ever gets his vines on the Copper he will rid the gene pool of such foolishness, eating until he is satisfied for once in his life.

 

Accept: Haha I love how much he looks down upon the Copper for that. Such judgment. Wow. Very cruel. ~D

Accept:

 

Goldfish is an extremely arrogant individual, absolutely convinced that he is better than anyone else, faster, stronger, more agile, and - of course - more intelligent. He has little to no patience with those he deems stupid and most agree that he is a heartless jerk. Few ever wonder why the otherwise capable and nimble-clawed hunter often seems to lose the prey right out of his claws when flying above a certain clearing and if they ever did Goldfish would huff and deny even the possibilty of feeling compassion for a killer like Faunanino.

 

Accept:

Accept: Ah, so this is the Copper from that Vine's description! Nice smile.gif (Reminds me of Mycroft, too...) ~Storm

 

I love how Dimar's and Storm's comment seem to complement each other here.

 

Vocabulary is the absolute, complete, outright antonym of the female half of her parental generation. She basks in the glory of language and indulges herself in the most floral, exuberant lingo imaginable. Her periphery is treated to wonderful, delicious, magnificent, gloriously splendiferous vocabulary on a frequent basis. Not everyone fully comprehends her once she gets into full bacchanal mode but the more ambitious parents among the clan members perodically expose their progeny to her in the hopes of stimulating their linguistic development.

 

Accept:

Accept: Wow, that is one grandiloquent dragon. ~Storm

 

Thanks for the new word Storm smile.gif (Her mum is Monosyllabic for those who wonder).

 

Iworma is quite grateful for her breed's terrible reputation, it means other dragons leave her in peace and she can spend her time burrowed in her little lair underground reading books. Her vines stick out enough for her to grab the unweary rabbit or deer and otherwise they suck the nutrition out of the nearby trees and bushes. It's not exactly a glamorous life but she likes it and if a dragon should come to close to her clearing - well - anyone disturbing her reading deserves to be eaten.

 

Accept:

Accept: I totally agree- interrupting a good book is inexcusable. ~Storm

 

Now I'm a bit afraid of Storm blink.gif

 

Anyway there are more descrips and comments but those were the ones I though others might be interested in smile.gif

Some descriptions of my own, awaiting moderation (most inspired by Descripdoom IRC)

 

Disgruntled Herk's name describes this Brimstone rather accurately. She is constantly searching about for something, muttering to herself. Anyone who listens closely to her mutterings might pick up the odd phrase, but none of it makes sense for she speaks mainly in acronyms, the meanings of which are known only to herself. "Stupid non-WTNV..." seems to be a common murmur of hers, but what it means, no one could say.

 

Accept: Stupid non-WTNV Brimstone... biggrin.gif -H

Accept:

Accept: Haha, my poor wifey- I mean dragon. *carefully pats* ~D

 

The similarity between Herk's name and Herk the DCer is completely a coincidence. wink.gif

 

 

As his name suggests, this dragon once had golden scales, a shining descendant from a somewhat messy but clean lineage. Before his death, he prided himself in this fact, but now it only serves to remind him of his constant pain and suffering.

It all began one dark night, under a full moon's eclipse. He slept peacefully, not noticing the shadowy figure creeping ever closer to his body. One strike of the knife, and it was over. Life faded from his eyes as he stared in disbelief at his killer, not wanting to believe what he saw. Then came the rush of magic, and his blurring sight cleared to find his owner sobbing nearby. His mind, however, did not recover from the shock, and to this day he cannot remember the face of the one who killed him.

Because of his dangerous nature, his owner now keeps him hidden away, releasing him for only a few hours each night to wander about aimlessly, forever seeking the one who made him the monster he now is.

 

Accept: The poor one. tongue.gif Someone should bring him to a soulpeace, or... Don't know, write a great description about him. Like you did (; ~NE

Accept: Very good! smile.gif ~D

Accept: OMG this is so good! -Ava

 

My younger self was very foolish and zombiefied only one dragon.... It just happened to be one of the two golds I had. And the less messy one at that. Still kicking myself now, even though I have some beautiful golds now thanks to my friends' generosity. Honestly, who zombies a gold?

The usual wordy affair:

Most dragons don't mind sitting or lying on their feet or resting their bums on the ground, though some, like many a lumina, want to stay cleaner. Ever Grande constructs chairs for dragons like them. It's harder than it sounds because there are many types of dragons of different sizes and limbs and spiky bits, and that's not even bringing up taste. Luckily, dragons live a long time, so he has had many decades of practice. He's constructed things from stools to puffy couches to big litters. His favorite kind to build are thrones, and there are so many royal families in this world that he never runs out of orders. One year, a recently-crowned waterhorse empress commissioned a chair - a huge challenge because Ever Grande had never made a throne that is not only comfortable for a waterhorse's shape but waterproof, too. After months of hard work (and no deposition, fortunately), he pulled it off. The empress was ecstatic about the new seat and paid extra, promising to always chair-ish it.

As the first Frostbite dragon to be brought into her owner's cave, none of the other dragons knew quite what to make of her. A fairly well-behaved hatchling, she enjoyed using her affinity for ice and snow to make icy slides and snow piles for the other youngsters to play in. The grownups didn't mind this, so long as everyone involved played safely and didn't get in the way. One day, however, she lost her concentration for only a moment and another hatchling accidentally got a blast of ice in its face, severely wounding it, but it did survive. Horrified by her actions, she fled into a deep and uninhabited area of the cave and swore to never again use her powers. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like she's the queen...

Just 'Cause often is asked by the other dragons to act as mediator or judge when they have conflicts amongst themselves. He's constantly having to explain that this isn't his forte, that he can't help them win their just cause, as that's NOT his name! No one seems to notice the apostrophe, so they seldom appreciate that his egg arrived in Lagie's caves gifted by a friend just 'cause.

Accept: Looks good smile.gif You just need an aphrostrophie after one of the 'causes ~GP

 

Erm, no. The first 'Cause has an apostrophe before it as it's the dragon's name. The second has no apostrophe because just cause is a phrase. The third has an apostrophe at the start as it's short for just because. On none of them should there be an apostrophe after.

This dragon is widely lauded as the Master Matchmaker of Sin's Cave. Once, when it had been young and civil twilight had brushed across the landscape it had been stirred to awake. Following it's instincts it had gone outside, to witness the stars fall on the Starcrossed Lovers who could only meet once a year. Something about the scene moved it deeply and ever since then it has been determined to help others find happiness. This mostly involves listening to and considering subjects it feels would like some company. After creating a mental profile for them, it then would fabricate intentional meetings in which they would greet a partner with whom they could get to know better to see if a relationship might blossom. This dragon is prone to matching plants, animals, and humans with nary a qualm; a quality that has led to many an interesting and dramatic tale for this dragon can be quietly determined if it feels in its heart the truth of a love is yet achievable.

Abstain: You're sure he's not a Heartseeker?

Accept:

Accept: Very nice! ~D

 

As some description reviewers are on the forums I just wanted to explain a bit, thought I admit I was hoping the reference would be seen. xd.png

I originally found this black and was going to drop it when I noticed the word. Recognized it from manga/anime but essentially:

Miai (見合い?, "matchmaking", lit. "looking at one another") or omiai (お見合い?) is a Japanese traditional custom in which unattached individuals are introduced to each other to consider the possibility of marriage. "Miai" or "omiai" is sometimes translated as an "arranged marriage" in other languages. Miai has done for centuries in Japan what can be described as "a meeting opportunity with more serious considerations for the future"

Hence the whole matchmaking falling in love thing. But yep, that was pretty much why I went that route because I loved how fitting it would be. Anyway, I felt it was personal enough, without the whole needing to be a heartseeker or any other type of valentine breed as I wasn't quite relying on species characteristics.

JD is self-obsessed, arrogant, and absolutely convinced that he's the best thing to happen to dragonkind since the discovery of fire breath. He also loves to be the one and only centre of attention.

Miss Vecna has the task of teaching different languages and alphabets to the new students at Delirium's Academy. While many assume that all a dragon really needs to learn magic are the runes of modern and ancient draconic, she knows that even the most primitive of human cultures have their own ways to manipulate mana. So she does her best to prepare the young ones for future studies by teaching them the letters and to keep an open mind about other species.

Shaun belongs to the Changers, a group of Magis who not only learn to transmogrify things through magic, or even to modify their own shape, but who know their own soul to a point where they find their spiritual animal and truly become it whenever they change into its skin. The transformation can bring peace to a troubled soul re-focusing it on its very own core making all problems shrink into insignificance; so, as all Changers, Shaun is very calm and at ease with himself. While some Changers have cunning foxes, proud eagles, or loyal wolves hidden inside of them, Shaun - at the very core of his being - is a sheep.

Match is a pyromaniac and dabbles in alchemy. Her two main interest go together quite well as she regularly discoveres new ways to start a fire, colour flames in interesting ways, and heighten the heat and duration of a fire - often without any kind of magic. Her latest discovery made it possible to use simple little sticks (covered in a paste mixed after a secret formula) to start a tiny flame without any problems. It's so simple even humans can use them.

Ilza is the devoted mate of Kalos not because she especially loves him but because he enables her to do what she likes best while still looking good. Ilza is a mean-spirited sadist and Kalos' invention, the view-focusing incarceration chair, is a dream come true. Hatchlings entrapped within it are completely helpless and dependent on others. Ilza is their devoted caretaker feeding them, cleaning them, and looking after all their physical needs which makes her a deeply caring individual, almost a saint, in the other clan members' minds. The fact that she uses a bit more force than technically necessary while feeding, that soapy water gets into a hatchlings unprotected eyes, all those little things go by unnoticed by anyone but herself and the hatchlings.

 

Accept: very disturbing. well done

Accept:

Kalos has some weird obsession with Nebula dragons and their colours. As an obsessive aesthete, he simply can't stand the thought of the fickle moods of some undisciplined hatchling determining his or her looks for life. After all, there are family traditions to be honoured, future mates to be considered, and an overall harmony that needs to be kept.

So Kalos - who isn't the sanest dragon around - has developed a solution to that terrible problem: the view-focusing incarceration chair.

The construction is highly effective as long as the the young dragon is confined to it right after hatching until the formative period is over. Bound to the chair with their eyes pried open, the little ones have no choice than to look at the part of the sky chosen by the chairs operator. Kalos advertises his great invention and often praises the many positive side effects, such as always knowing where your hatchling is and never having to worry about him or her.

 

Accept: Oh man. That's awesome but also horrifying. ohmy.gif ~D

 

Spawsc doesn't care for magic. Spawsc doesn't care for political power. Spawsc doesn't care for huge hoards. After growing up with two of the most loving, and cuddly parents imaginable, Spawsc knows that the only really important thing in life is to be nice to your fellow dragons and to find friends to love and be loved. It might be a bit of a boring philosophy but she doesn't care. It's not less true because of that.

 

Abstain: Maybe put It's no less true because of that.

Accept: D'aww that's cute. ~D

Accept: Aww! Nice philosophy! <3 -s

Both heads of this lovely but unusual dragon constantly attempt to outdo the other's weirdness. Nicki, the darker-scaled head of this dragon, always attempts to be out-of-line with foul language, attempts to eat the most to be the biggest, and attempts to attach strange objects like jewels and sticks to her side of the body to impress others.

Yolandi, who is the lighter head with the strange accent, is obsessed with riches and also attempts to be out-of-line with her foul language as well. Unlike Nicki, however, she could not care less about what the dragon society thinks of her and has done some pretty questionable things.

Overall, many dragons of EG's Cave believe that this dragon should not be representative of their homeland and avoid Nicki and Yolandi at all costs.

On a Silver:

 

Every one of Hawktalon's dragons has a family, recorded on the piece of aged parchment that she always carries. But usually they only go one or two generations back. It has become Argentinium's obsession to find a dragon's entire history, even for those who were once wild or were abandoned and left to die as hatchlings. By visiting other caretakers he has managed to trace several dragons' lines back to their Caveborn roots. His ultimate goal is to know every dragons' lineage, though he often reaches dead ends when dragons with shady pasts have done their best to erase their names from all written documents.

By the way guys, as you may have noticed I am now officially BACK from a six month hiatus and am now reviewing and writing descriptions once more! I still won't be using the forums much because I'm on Tumblr now but I might occasionally pop up here if I get any particularly amusing comments on my descriptions... like this one.

This dragon's rather strange name comes from his habit of honking maniacally as he incinerates trees, houses and just about anything in order to create the ash on which his kind feeds. No-one has ever managed to get him to talk any sense whatsoever - not even the stern Grave Dragon matriarch, Looks Like A Grave Outcome - and so he is known simply as "Honk honk honk honk". In fact, those that know Honk steer well clear of him if they have any sense, because the deranged Grave dragon is entirely unpredictable and is known for turning on his friends without warning - insofar as he has any friends. The only dragons who might be considered Honk's friends are the other members of the so called Dark Carnival clan, and most of those are as strange as he is. His closest friend is the Nebula dragon "make my special stardust".

•Accept: Interesting... o_O ~D

 

I see I continue to baffle Dimar with my silly fandom references xd.png Just Google "sober Gamzee" if you're interested... Honk.

Oh and I might as well post my other Grave Dragon description while I'm here:

Looks Like A Grave Outcome is the only female Grave Dragon in her owner's Cave, and considers her job to be keeping the large pack of male Grave Dragons in line. She will not stand any nonsense from any of them or, indeed, the other Halloween dragons, and whilst she is not averse to the odd bit of forest-burning, she tends to try and limit the destruction she and the other Grave Dragons cause. Mostly because of this, she is well-liked in the Cave - for a Halloween dragon, that is - and is also considered something of a wisedragon. Other dragons will often approach her to ask for advice, but if they are looking for positivity they are usually disappointed, because after hearing her temporary client recount their problems she almost invariably begins her reply with "Well, it looks like a grave outcome..."

•Accept: Haha, puns. ~D

 

Thanks Dimar! Almost all my Grave Dragons have stupid pun names, I might describe some more of them soon.

 

EDIT: Oh my God I can't stop laughing at this comment I got on another Grave Dragon:

Let's Have A Grave Rave's odd name comes from his infamous catchphrase. Whilst most of the Halloween dragons are rather antisocial creatures who prefer to occupy themselves with hunting, fighting and general destruction, Rave is a literal party animal. He often tries to persuade the other nocturnal dragons in the Cave to come and dance with him in what he calls "Grave Raves" - if it can even be called dancing, as Rave's idea of fun seems to consist mostly of jumping around for no apparent reason. The only dragon who often goes along with Rave is The Living Gravestones, who has become very close friends with the fun-loving dragon... or perhaps more than friends. Either way, the two Grave Dragons can often be seen together on lonely hills, practicing their 'dancing'.

•Accept: Nice! smile.gif ~G

•Accept: DO THE MONSTER MASH!

•Accept:

 

xd.png I need another Halloween Dragon called "Do The Monster Mash" now! Thanks for making me laugh, anonymous commenter! And thanks ~G too, whoever you are.

I'm sorry if this is a bit off the topic, but which thread is for asking for advice on descriptions? Like if I wrote a description, and not very sure if there are grammar mistakes...

I think there was such a thread, but I couldn't remember the keywords. blink.gif

There used to be a description proofreading thread, but it was closed when Brair, Herk, and I took over more responsibility for organizing reviewing. Just go ask for help in the Descripforce thread, and someone will get to it. smile.gif

Accept: This description is nothing special. The sentence beginning with "Comments" is confusing 'til the end who's giving the comments. Well, all humans make mistakes. Good thing I'm a dragon. -DT

 

Tabs? Are you alright? Since when do you have identity issues?
