Guardians of Nature

Zendegi – Male Guardian Of Nature
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

Within the rich expanse of Zendegi’s perceptions and beliefs, one is most prominent: Despite no recollection of a life prior to his current one, he is convinced that his kind’s broad prowess is the reward of a metamorphosis that all dragons can undergo. While he has never witnessed another dragon’s transition into what he calls ‘Guardianship’ – becoming a Guardian of Nature – he is deeply convinced that enough spiritual guidance can prompt an ascent of any of his fellow dragons. Zendegi himself struggles to bring that very enlightenment to the world, investing almost all resources at his disposal into letting other dragons transform. That there seem to be no fruits of his labour has never given him cause to question his conviction; instead, he tirelessly pursues his unattainable goal.

Accept: Lovely idea :) -H
Accept: Lovely! Tiny word choice suggestion: “ascent for any of” Just suggestion. :) -lw
Accept: Nice! ~D

Zendegi is what happens after you let me Summon a Guardian Of Nature right after I finish a book. ‘Zendegi’, allegedly (fittingly!) meaning ‘Life’ in Farsi (I wouldn’t know; I have to take other people’s word on this! XD), is also the name of a book of Greg Egan. It’s a far cry from his best work, but it’s inspiring nonetheless, and the title is undisputably dropdead gorgeous. ;)

Godshatter – Female Guardian Of Nature
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.

Godshatter considers herself to be a crippled oracle, the severed voice and avatar of a true deity. Even with no objectively discernible deficit of perception, she finds herself occasionally abruptly disoriented in the world around her – explaining her discomposure as a feeling of having been stunted, stripped of senses she cannot even begin to describe. Her skull is full of disconnected wisdom, cryptic even to her. Occasionally, she’ll despair at her lack of understanding of her own actions and advice, deeply concerned that the recipe may be incomplete, like a building without foundation – but so far, her deeds and advice have always been valuable to others.
Godshatter herself is unconvinced she’s more than a soulless, fragmental library of a transcendental being, an outlook that’s rendered her pathologically introverted, fed only further by her certainty that some day, guided by all that she doesn’t comprehend, she’ll make a terrible and irreversible mistake.

Accept: I do like reading your descriptions. :)
Accept: I know it’s like “god shatter” but I keep reading it as “gods hatter”. XD ~D
Reject:
Accept: interesting :) -H
Accept:

Accept:
Reject: Too long, cant see whole thing

This is an homage to the Zones of Thought universe by Vernor Vinge. Godshatter is a term for what happens to people’s minds when a being from the Transcend leaves them with high-level information. (In A Fire Upon The Deep, this happens to the character Pham Nuwen; so I was tempted to influence this GoN male as well, but I think it’s enough of an homage as it is.)

Godshatter won the April 2014 Description Of The Month contest for the category Best Overall!

Neglecteds

Ks’szh Morchaint – Female Tinselfail Neglected
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

Ks’szh Morchaint is a bitter, arrogant dragon, believing herself to be nothing short of royalty despite her crippled state. To her reasoning, not only is her tattered kind a rare sight, but most are orphans on paper, whereas she can still glance back onto documented family lineage, leading a mere four steps to Arboriel Morchaint. On most nights, within the confines of her dreams, she surpasses Arboriel, laying claim to the vast territory she’s convinced her oldest recorded Tinsel ancestor must possess, as well as the legions of followers she dreams her to have. Drifting in and out of sleep, her loneliness drives her to silent tears – but she dares not reach out to others, paralysed by the misguided fear that the bond of friendship might convey too much submission for the role that she sees herself in.

Accept: Nice :) -H
Accept: Aww, poor Neglected! She’s right to be proud of her lineage though – and her species *is very jealous* I wish I had a Neglected… ~ Draco
Accept: Fantastic! ~D

Ks’szh Morchaint was my first Neglected. As with Davinath, I was pretty sure I would never get another Neglected. I thought it was the awesomest thing that Ks’szh (aside from having a great, hissy code befitting a Neglected) had a lineage rather than being drearily lonely as a caveborn. And then of course I had to corrupt that.

Poisoned Milk Cognatio – Female Gold-Guardian Arrowhead Neglected
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

Against all tales shared with her on the contrary, Poisoned Milk Cognatio believes herself to be an attempted hybrid gone terribly wrong. She reasons that if her kind were truly the result of neglect alone, there would surely be many more of them in the world. Instead, with her splintered, rattling voice, she speaks of a sinister spirit that haunts the healthy, taking control of their bodies in probing, patient sequence, twisting the offspring with a dark magic intended to eventually bring forth an immortal, perfect creature – a vessel for it to inhabit as that it may dominate the physical world. All who try to dissuade her from this notion find themselves at the receiving end of violent rejection, the crippled dragon throwing a weak but intimidating tantrum, a tempest of claws and teeth, driving them away. Her attitude has left her desperate and lonely, paranoid of the world around her, plagued by nightmares of her own construction.

Accept: Nice :) -H
Accept: Nicely written. Kind of poetic. -?
Accept: Very well written. It seems that Neglecteds tend to have the most beautiful, sickening, and intricate but wonderfully written descriptions. ~Cata
Accept: This is so sad. Poor ND. Great descrip! -Hawk
Accept: I love it! ~D
Accept: Oh wow… I like. This is new -O

Another description that might give you an insight into my psyche, again a little toned down from what’s really dancing around my mind. Poisoned Milk Cognatio is my second Neglected dragon, and I “traded” for her – though I consider that trade to have been something of an alibi, since I gave up a few neat-lineaged commons to get it (WzzxO, 1amAA and 8aHK3), which means that I feel infinitely in the trader’s debt.

Venomous Blood – Male Shimmerfail Neglected
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

Venomous Blood has a gift. It’s an unlikely gift that appears superficially unremarkable: He is gifted with a smooth, graceful gait, better befitting a metallic dragon than anything as crippled as he is. Fueled by a deep jealousy for his fitter kin, this serpentine grace is something he’s learnt to couple with a malicious patience, collecting his scarce energy to lash out in violent outbursts. Convinced he has nothing to lose, he’s reckless in battle, fashioning himself into an objectively worthy opponent, making a name for himself – even establishing a territory of his own. The sheer venom in his attitude and his deceptively purposeful air are enough to startle or outright terrify those less unhinged and he’s learnt to wield intimidation like a tool, abusing those dragons that are cowed into submission, scratching, biting and restraining whatever has the misfortune of coming too close – such as his unfortunate ‘mate’ Mauncauld, who’s thin wings he’s shredded and keeps prisoner.

Accept: OK :) -H
Accept: Great! *biting, and ~D
Abstain: whose thin wings (not who’s – who’s = who is) —-

Whoops, managed to miss the “whose” thing, so resubmitted.

This… is definitely toned down, since the mental image in my mind is chiefly encoded in that last sentence fragment. Yes, Mauncauld is male. No, this Neglected dragon doesn’t care, he happened to be around, he’s not picky, he takes whatever he can dominate into submission. This is another gifted Neglected, given to me by M (abbreviated to protect the not-so-innocent) and thoroughly cherished as another beautifully lineaged creature of misery! <3

Valcen – Male CB Neglected
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

Unusually, Valcen’s crippled state is a curse, intended as punishment for his hubris. A respected and revered part of a powerful clan of dragons of exceptional magical prowess in his previous incarnation, Valcen’s immortality suffered an unfortunate encounter with the unstoppable force of statistical probability: He made a mistake. Unfortunately, consequences of mistakes are often in direct proportion to the power behind them, and this particular metaphorical elastic-band-unintentionally-launched-into-someone’s-eye had grave consequences indeed – Valcen accidentally obliterated his homeworld… along with most of his clan. After his unusual exile through reincarnation, first emotionally transitioning from numb shock to violent self-loathing, Valcen spent a few hundred years mulling over what happened, only to finally reach the desperate, bitter conclusion that it could have happened to anyone – and in his solitude impotently, feverishly dreams of redemption.

Accept: Nice Description ~brair
Accept: Interesting. :) ~D
Accept: This is great!
Abstain: If you state this as fact it’s overpowered imo – maybe add that it’s his belief /a rumour -H

After talking with herk it turned out she’d (understandably!) mistook ‘homeworld’ to mean a planet, which wasn’t my intention; so I resubmitted with a minor word tweak:

Accept: Better – the most simple solutions are often the most elegant :) -H
Accept: Awesome! ~D

The Neglected Dragon Valcen is a generous homage to the Threadwielder Valcen from my kraiaKy universe. The Neglected itself I traded for a CB silver that I caught and the first Neglected that I acquired by ‘proper trade’. It’s also my only CB Neglected, and of all of my Neglected dragons, it seems only fitting that someone as ostracised as Valcen would be without a family.

Threadwoven – Unknown-gendered Neglected
Accepted sometime before 23.01.2014.

Denied the power of flight, weak and tattered wings incapable of even lifting a malnourished form such as its own, Threadwoven’s poured all of its stubborn focus into learning to climb, ascending trees and steep cliffs recklessly, catching itself in a haphazard glide from the worst falls. Those trees most scarred by Threadwoven’s ascents the dragon considers its territory, clung to the branches like a malevolent hybrid of monkey and feline, hissing its warnings to passers-by…. and occasionally tearing those who would dare to come to close from the skies with a coiled leap and the grasp of shredding claws – as, in its deep envy of the power of flight, Threadwoven loves nothing more than find an excuse to render others equally incapable of it.

Accept: Nice :) -H
Accept: Good! ~D
Accept:

Threadwoven is the an Unknown-gendered Neglected I traded for using a CB metallic (a CB gold, to be exact). He’s got an epic double-shimmer lineage, but unfortunately I wasn’t creative enough to figure out something relating to that. Threadwoven’s name was originally intended to be a lead-up for a voodoo-like story, but I didn’t manage to get that to work, either. XD

Galactive – Unknown-gendered Neglected
Accepted sometime before 13.02.2015.

Galactive is obsessed with stars. Rendered incapable of any reasonable physical hobby, Galactive quickly discovered the night sky for verself – along with perhaps an overdose of creativity and imagination. Where others see specks of light scattered across the firmament, Galactive is deeply convinced their arrangement is meaningful, information encoded into distances and angles and luminosity, speaking truths about the universe yet to be discovered and carrying the banter of true gods across aeons. Ve spends most of ver time trying to decode the messages ve believes to be there, though ve keeps ver true enthusiasm about the project to verself, downplaying its importance in conversations with others, trivialising it and lacing a dismissive humour through ver narrative that ve later despises verself for.

Accept: Cool! ~G
Accept: “trivializing” :)
Oh, you silly Americans and your love of the letter z. <3
Accept: Nice :) -H
Accept:
Accept:

Another Neglected that waited far too long for a description, Galactive was the last Neglected I traded for (as an IOU for a CB gold). Ve took a long time to hit my scroll, but ve completed my set.

The pronoun choice felt like the least awkward for ver particular narrative. I’m usually a they person when it comes to genderless pronouns, but that didn’t want to flow here, nor did it, so I gave it a try. I don’t know if that’ll bother some reviewers. We’ll find out!

It took me far too long to write a description for this dragon, unfortunately, given a huge lull in description accepting by the moderators in 2014, which sapped my desire to write any more. :( It was – finally – written on the 2nd of August.

Dystorsion – Female CB Neglected, vampire-bitten by (RoW3)
Accepted sometime before 23.01.2014.

Dystorsion is the product of a vampire bite gone wrong. The toxin left her truly crippled rather than fully transformed, with a circulatory system perpetually on the brink of its own collapse. Allergic to sunlight moreso than her vampiric would-be kin, Dystorsion prowls around at night, looking for the deepest caves to rest in come dawn. Despite her distortion – or perhaps because of it – she has a talent for magic, unfortunately paired with little drive to improve it, as she’s quickly exhausted even just by research alone. Listlessly she pages through what she can find, lingering on records of healing magic that is known to have no power to help her, yearning passively to find a way to alter it so it may.

Accept:
Accept:
Accept: Very nice :) -H
Abstain: more so is two words, methinks
Looking it up, “more so” seems to be more proper, with “moreso” colloquial, but I think I’ll keep it.
Accept:
Accept:
Accept:

This is one of the dragons that lost its pending status and ended up with Description Status: No Description in 2015. I may have missed a comment or two from the old set.

I got this Neglected after a discussion came up in the Suggestions forum that Neglected vampires lose their ‘bitten by’ link, which is a shame. It was proposed to change it – and I was one of the people lamenting the lack of it, and how much I’d always dreamed of the constellation. I was PMed out of nowhere and gifted this baby soon after! And then it gendered female, which is my favourite Neglected sprite. The only thing that could have possibly made that more awesome is if the baby had a lineage. XD

Arsanis

Zaertlichkeit – CB Arsani
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

Zaertlichkeit is the affectionate platonic companion of Zuneigung. While they share no ancestry that they’re aware of, that doesn’t stop Zaertlichkeit from introducing Zuneigung as her sister. The two dragons are occasionally mistaken as mates by some observers, especially as their sleeping habits often see them knotted into each other, owing to their obsession with each other’s hugs. That such nights are less restful than others given the uncomfortable position never quite seems to bother either dragon.

Accept: As long as you don’t add Zungenkuss or Zoelibat it could be either way, mates or no mates :D H
Accept: Nice! -lw
Accept: *wishes that she knew enough German Z-words to be as awesome as Herk* ~ Draco
Accept: Nice Description ~brair
Accept: Adorable! ~D
Accept: Great! -

I find Arsanis dropdead gorgeous – and I needed an excuse to write terrible descriptions, so I had to have some fluffy and cute ones to offset what was inevitably to come. (I… have something of a reputation as a roleplayer and gamemaster.)

Zuneigung – CB Arsani
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

While Zuneigung has no true familial relation to Zaertlichkeit, she would quote her as a sister in a heartbeat. The two are practically inseparable, to the point where the occasional observer might find it difficult to believe that their relationship is entirely platonic. While sleeping, the two can be seen as a tangle of Arsani limbs, caught in an awkward hug, not quite willing to sacrifice each others’ affection in favour of a more comfortable position for slumber.

Accept: I can’t spot the difference – still nice :) -H I try to think of more apprpriate Z-names, but the only thing springing to mind are Zahnseide and Zellteilung – not very fitting ;)
Accept: Nice!
Accept: Cute. :) ~D

See Zaertlichkeit’s blurb for the history of this description. :)

Balacrea – 2G Arsani
Accepted sometime before 16.03.2014.

Balacrea is disconcerting degrees of obsessed with a functioning community even for an Arsani dragon. Guided by a deep desire for everything to run smoothly and interact peacefully, she believes it’s important to raise dragons to focus on one particular job – any deviation from this norm will see her quite distressed, trying desperately to convince the dragon in question to keep his attention on his tasks. Recreational activities do exist in her supposed utopia, but they’re just as strictly regulated. A designated artist, she thinks, would be much better for social cohesion than allowing warriors, gatherers, builders or hunters to split their focus onto art.
She’s built up a small group of followers – a cult that doesn’t shy away from hypnosis to keep its members properly focussed. Strictly speaking, no one in that group is unhappy with their state, with the prolonged states of hyperfocus only consensually applied… but most nearby clans find the movement deeply unsettling.

Abstain: The first sentence seems like it could be worded better. My suggestion: “Balacrea is disconcertingly obsessed with having a functioning community”, etc.

While I don’t think it’s something that has to be fixed in any way, I did really like that suggestion, so I changed it. :)

Accept:
Accept: *focused. ~D
‘focussed’ is the UK variant, so I didn’t react to this.
Accept:

Like Godshatter and Tomas Nau below, this is another homage to the Zones of Thought universe by Vernor Vinge (her description was written after Godshatter’s, though) – in particular, to the Emergents in A Deepness In The Sky, a society that’s given me beautiful nightmares for many days ever since Focus was revealed to me. ‘Balacrea’ is the name of their homeworld.

With that said, Balacrea and her little cult is a little nicer. The Emergents don’t bother with consent.

Note: The mods turned ‘focussed’ into ‘focused’ for some reason. I haven’t adjusted the above description to match it.

Jaqueramaphan – 2G Arsani
Accepted sometime before 13.02.2015.

Jaqueramaphan bubbles with enthusiasm. She’s deeply fascinated by a wide range of subjects and loves nothing more than to discuss her ideas with others. She’s not one to descend into narcissistic monologues, however, just as eager to listen to exotic anecdotes or inventions others can recite tales about, seeking inspiration from a variety of sources. Due to her habit of keeping a note of everything she comes across – scattered about as much as her thoughts as that may be – she’s earnt the nickname ‘Scriber’.

Accept: Nice :) -H
Accept:
Accept: Interesting. ~D
Accept:
Accept: Nice Description~brair

Another Zones of Thought homage, Jaqueramaphan is meant to have roughly the same personality as the character of the same name in A Fire Upon The Deep.

CB metallics

Davinath – Male CB Silver
First written approved description.

Davinath is one of the order of Davir Kaea, a type of dragon – alongside the Davir Sria – endowed with unusually potent magic at cost of their physical strength. What makes him Kaean rather than Srian is that he has chosen the path of chaos for himself, though this does not manifest as one might expect given human prejudice, as he’s far removed from evil intent. Instead, he and his quasi-religious brethren are champions of the disorder that gives rise to life, and have a respectful symbiosis with their Srian kin.

My first CB silver, caught just in time to grow up on my birthday in 2012, is the only CB silver that I caught myself that’s stayed on my scroll. The other three CB silvers (Shahrivrath, Chandarmaneth and Kotanechiku) were all gifts – from L, D and l respectively (yes, those are abbreviations; no, I will not tell you who you can bother for CB metallics *laughs*). My ability to catch CB silvers only came later.

Karyorrhexis – Male CB Gold
Accepted sometime before 19.08.2013.

The scars Karyorrhexis bears are often misattributed to his warrior lifestyle, brutal tank that he can be and associated personality of a reckless paladin that he nurtures – but the story of cause and effect is, in truth, reversed. Rather than be slain as was true of many of his kin, for many years he found himself in captivity, bound and deliberately crippled, pitiful shadow of all he could be. His hide was methodically harvested by his captors, regenerated by a White dragon who was forced to heed an instinct he had no rational desire to use given the horrors it furthered. But just as circumstance had led Karyorrhexis into that torturous fate, chance led him back out, his weak rage against his captors still enough to break bones and end lives. His involuntary companion from those days died as a misplaced hostage, holding no sway on the furious Gold – something he regrets to this day. The scars are solely from the last wounds inflicted on him, those that were not artificially healed.

Accept: Nice :) -H
Abstain: misattributed is not a word.
Accept: Lovely writing! *crippled, a pitiful ~D

In a way, this is the first description I was ever serious about writing – and it shows the sort of fiction I tend to write, I think. For a while I was very convinced it would get a lot of rejects and end up binned by the moderators for being extremely brutal (cautiously worded or not), but neither ever happened. As a bit of history, this is the only CB gold I’ve ever managed to catch myself so far, and he haunted my sleep the night after I did. The other three CB golds (Moshirechiku, Karkadanna and Jeneth) were, respectively, gifted to me (by l (abbreviated to protect the innocent)), traded for (CB silver + two pairs of CB bleeding moon hatchlings —> 3G shimmerscale —> CB gold) and traded for (2 x CB silver).

Karyorrhexis won the October 2013 Description Of The Month contest for the category Best Overall!

Shahrivrath – Male CB Silver
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.

Shahrivrath does not take ‘no’ for an answer. Boastful of and entirely convinced of his own generosity, he’s unnervingly authoritarian toward anyone he deems worthy of his attention – and he’s unfortunately very egalitarian when it comes to picking his unwitting victims. If the objects of his platonic affection and mild obsession don’t watch out, he’ll be quick to shuffle them toward the nearest potent magic user to be ‘healed’ of some imagined affliction. In Shahrivrath’s mind, no one can help the imperfections they were born with – but that hardly means that they shouldn’t be corrected after the fact by those capable of it.

Accept: Nice -
Accept:
Accept: Good! :) ~D

It only took a year, but my second CB silver, Shahrivrath finally has a description. :) Again, I tried to distil the essence of the character Shahrivrath from the Avishraa Thuban continuity into this description… and I think I managed to capture what makes his personality so unique quite well, without having to give him the godmode powers.

Chandarmaneth – Female CB Silver
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.

Chandarmaneth is unusually hostile for a Silver dragon. While her aggression never manifests in ways beyond what many observers might consider passive – hissing when backed into a corner, scratching at those who get closer still, occasionally going as far as to bite – it’s more than enough for people to give her the wide berth. Even so, the subtleties of her posture, seen from afar, speak of a creature that must have suffered badly in the past, now eaten up by mistrust and fear, never coming to close to opening up to anyone to explain what has her so spooked, instead using her solitude as a shield that she refuses to as much as admit to.

Accept:
Accept: Aww, poor girl. ~D
Accept:
Accept:
Accept:

I wasn’t entirely sure how to make an homage to my Chandarmaneth character from the Avishraa universe, so I focussed on her hidden insecurities and exaggerated them. The resulting personality is shyer than Chandarmaneth, but the aggression has overlap, so I’m pleased enough with the result.

Kotanechiku – Female CB Silver
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.

Nicknamed ‘the Silver Demon’, Kotanechiku considers herself Moshirechiku’s eternal soulmate. The two have refined their respective magic abilities to astounding degree, rivalling the capabilities of an average Magi, perhaps even coming close to the most famous of that kin… but only ever in tandem. Their most potent magic is dangerous for its invisibility. Others might see them blink out of existence as if they’d teleported themselves – but it is time itself that they bend to their will, sometimes halting it completely for precariously arranged moments of subjective perception as they make their escape. These days, the two dragons share a heartbeat and are often seen resting against each other, observant and peaceful unless disturbed. One might assume them wise for all they have no doubt witnessed, and perhaps one might be right – but no one approaches the two, all too often eerily frozen like statues as they are, silently watching the world erode.

Accept: *to an astounding ~D
Optional grammar alteration that I’m not a fan of, so I left it as is.
Accept:
Accept:

Kotanechiku’s description is an homage to Nechku (Kotanechiku) from Okami. In the game, the two Demons are malevolent and referred to as male, but I’ve been Nechku on the internet a while (and enjoyed the company of a lady called Lechku for a while, as well), and have come to associate the pair as female… but no less dangerous.

Again, the moderators changed my description to match Dimar’s suggestion. I haven’t updated the above to reflect that (and really would have preferred they hadn’t).

Moshirechiku – Female CB Gold
Accepted sometime before 22.04.2014.

Bound by affection as well as by necessity of magic to Kotanechiku, Moshirechiku – also known as ‘the Gold Demon’ – is fiercely protective over her soulmate. Separated, the two are wholly ordinary dragons, if that – but they’ve delved deep into symbiotic magic arts and discovered ways to excel at the craft as long as they have each other’s company. Chiefly stretching and constricting the flow of time, the true capabilities of the two dragons tend to go unnoticed – mistaken at one extreme for teleportation and as twin lives paused on the other. With their heartbeats long since synchronised, the two dragons are often seen together, slowing time for themselves to watch mountains melt, enjoying the beauty of the natural world that goes unseen by others for the timescales involved, little more than mere statues for passersby to ponder the purpose of.

Accept:
Accept:
Accept: Not bad. :) ~D
Accept:
Accept:

Moshirechiku’s description is an homage to Lechku (Moshirechiku) from Okami. As the description itself already reveals, this really is a combined description with Kotanechiku. The two are considerably more pacifistic (and feminine) than their true demon counterparts in the game, but I’d still be unnerved if I had to deal with them.

Political Tarantula Hawks

Arachnocapitalist – Male CB Tarantula Hawk drake
