Dragon Riders of Pern [Interest Check]

[SweetSerenade]

Well seeing as I don't like taking over people's already created character I will forgo the gold, I didn't see that the Green could accept cis hetero women, so I guess I'll go for that instead.

The gold isn't an 'already created' character, the dragon is only named. But that's because it's considered an important position within the Weyr. No one currently plays that character.

There is clutch listings that detail Greens already hatched in Igen, so you can look through the lists of Hatched dragons at Igen, and find one that was from Igen - or discuss what Weyr your Green Rider might have transferred from.

[fireflights]

I see, I guess when you said that the position would be "applied for" I assumed it was a premade character. I don't truly wish to make the character only to be beat out by someone else though so I'll still go green. Where is this section you are talking about?

If you click on the 'Skies of Fire' Banner that is in Maj's first post all of the information you need for the game is there. If you want to make an Igen based Green rider then you'll need to look at previous clutches. Which can be found in section 1.6.1.2 - Clutches of Igen Weyr. There is several clutches to choose from there, and you can find out what Greens survived, as well as who their 'parents' are. This will also help you know how old the Dragon is. As a note, Pernese now only start searching candidates at 16 Turns of age. So keep that in mind when you are making your rider as they could have only been searched at 16.

I did and I am looking at all of it...

Okay...wait...sorry I only read the plot stuff and hadn't read about the Greens yet...so if I make a character...my character can be infertile unless you roll something between 90 and 100? .... that's only a 10 percent chance, not so sure I like that choice being taken from me...sigh

[Thorne]

Greens being infertile is canon for the setting; iirc the weyrs don't have a problem with it. Something about being up to their necks in greens if the horny little buggers could clutch, or so. ^^;

Wish I could remember the exact quote, it made me giggle at the time.

The Dragon is infertile(Unless the specific situation mentioned, which would not apply to a full grown dragon. Only any that hatch IG. Since Greens start rising to mate at around 6-8 months of age), but Green riding females do often end up infertile due to all the jumps between.

The phrase "A short jump between." Is often a reference to a Rider (female) or someone that asks a rider to jump them between to help them abort an early term pregnancy. (No more than three months along)

Well, at this point I'll try for the gold and if I fail, I fail.

Just so you are aware, Gold Riders are not allowed to raise their children, generally. As the duties of Jr. Weyrwoman/Weyrwoman are so numerous and important that they are unable to raise a child.

Also, as detailed in the information of the game - you will be asked to make the clutch, but me and Maj will be the ones that decide who impresses what dragons from a clutch.

May I ask why you decided against making a Green Rider?



Edit:

As a reminder! Pernese do not have Last names! They also usually have names that are a combination of their parents names. The names should not really be 'earth like' in any way.

For instance Lunesta is a name formed by combining Lunaris and Senestal

Morag is a name that appears like it comes from earth, but it does not. It's a combination of Benelag and Mordra. Her daughter Morrigan is a combination of Morag and T'rrigan. See how the names work? :3

I guess currently at this point since I only started to read one of the books and never could finish it, even though I wanted to, I don't know enough about the setting to keep thinking I might know which is best to go with at this point. I have been reading up on Wiki but that's not as good a source as actually reading it and I'm getting a little discouraged all around that I could do the setting any good at this point so truth be told, I don't like taking the full option away for my character to possibly bear children, nor to not raise their own, so maybe I should just drop altogether and leave it for people who've been able to read the books and know the setting.

Understood! I wish you safe travels. :3

This is so cool to see. I was actually re-reading the first few books over the summer while I was on break from school. :D Definitely interested.

[Majere Dreavan]

Thank you all for all your interest. Please tell your friends! lol

[AcademicCuriosity9110]

I'm still interested, but I'm also really unsure of what sort of character I want to play as. I'm definitely interested in a Rider or Candidate, but there are so many other possibilities that it's got me totally indecisive. Anything in particular that ya'll are looking for?

[SweetSerenade]

We are allowing players multiple characters, as they can handle them of course, so you can play more than one character if you desire! I personally have five in the works. One Bronze Rider, One Brown Rider, One Journeyman Harper, One Lord Holder's Daughter, and One Journeyman Beast crafter. :3

I know, but I'm not much for multiple characters. At most, I might do up to three, more likely just one or two. We'll see.

On a side note, what exactly is meant by "demisexual"? I'm not familiar with that term.

Demisexual is usually a term applied to those that do not enter a sexual relationship unless a very strong emotional relationship has occurred first.

[AcademicCuriosity9110]

Okay, thanks.

[BitterSweet]

I'm considering two characters:

A male blue Rider from the 2817 clutch and a male Bronze rider from the 2812 clutch.  There's only one Bronze from the 2812 clutch so I wanted to check before starting the character sheet for that guy.  Both riders will be cismen, blue: homosexual bisexual, bronze: straight.

I'd be interested in a wingleader position for the bronze rider if there's one open?

[SweetSerenade]

I don't see why there wouldn't be a Wingleader position? It's logical that a Bronze around 10 turns would be interested in a Wingleader position. :3 Go ahead and throw profiles together, and send them to me and Maj.

[SweetSerenade]

We are still very interested in getting this going! Please let us know if you are interested!

[hiddenwithin]

Wow.. Pern!

*does a happy dance!*

I need to read up on the information, but I wouldn't mind putting my feather in for the Gold. May also play green and perhaps another one or two depending on the number of people. :)

[The Dark Raven]

I'm totally in.  What's available for adoption/creation?  We are, I'm assuming per the wiki that we are 13th P, post-AIVAS Igen?

I've read all the books and have run or helped run numerous PBEM Weyrs.  I'm on it. :)

[Majere Dreavan]

I'm really Glad we have some interest brewing, As soon as you have a character idea send it in so I can get a good list of what we can pull from :D  As for what's available for adoption and creation, I need to put a list of that on the front page, Thank you and I'll get that done now.

[Caela]

I'm still interested in this.

Do you guys still have my sheet or should I resubmit it?

[hiddenwithin]

I wouldn't mind adopting a green.

I haven't played on a PBEM game, but I did my first online MU* at several Pern-based games. Played crafter, holder and rider (every color dragon at one point or another!) Finding this.. is making me happy!
