NAME: Switchback
AGE: Baby thru adulthood for purposes of roleplay plotline
GENDER: female
SPECIES: Sand Wraith
In Progress Notes:
It was mentioned to me by an admin that I need to make an application for my dragon. I am aware that I need a minimum of 100 IC posts before I qualify for the rare species dragon of Sand Wraith and I am happy to play my Viking character solo with other people in rps until I qualify for the Sand Wraith, as long as the admins find that acceptable.
LIKES: Besides the obvious things her species enjoys like warm sand, sunbathing, swimming, and burrowing, Switchback enjoys something her trainer, Liahl, has taken to calling "soup sand", which is when Switchback likes to roll in the wettest, muckiest sand tossed about during incoming tide and get herself completely mucked up with clods of thick, heavy sand, which she likes to play a game with of flipping chunks of it into the air and blasting heated molten sand at to see if she can explode the whole lot into a glittering shower of glass fragments. Initially believed very dangerous, it's found that these glass fragments turn out to be very smooth once cooled rather than jagged or sharp, and Liahl has taken to collecting and giving them to local shopkeepers to sell in exchange for the occasional favour. On occasion Switchback will turn out an especially nice, almost pearl-like one, and most of these Liahl keeps for herself.
After her mucking about in the soup sand, Switchback will plop up to find Liahl and shake herself off very obnoxiously and stand there looking sorry for herself until Liahl indulges her fussy beast in her second favourite thing - a good scrub down with a hot shower in the Tidal Stalls (I still haven't had confirmation on whether or not there are class-based stalls, though I did see an admin confirm that there is a hatchery. If this is wrong I will correct it immediately!) Afterwards Liahl will finish polishing Switchback's scales with a good scrub brush and the Sand Wraith will happily fall asleep with a good dinner of fish.
Thirdly, Switchback likes basking in the sun, but out in the ocean. She likes to roll on her back like an otter with an oyster, spread her wings out to steady herself, and float for long periods of time.
For a fourth, Switchback likes sardines. If she finds salted and dried sardines, she will gobble them down mouthful and mouthful at a time. Liahl suspects she likes the salty taste and something about the texture.
DISLIKES: Minimum 4
STRENGTHS: Minimum 4
WEAKNESSES: Minimum 4
AMBITIONS: Minimum 2
FEARS: Minimum 2
APPEARANCE: Physical description of your dragon. it's good to try and be unique, but sometimes the most simple design is the best. Otherwise you will have more of chance of falling into the sue categories. No glowing neon dragons, unless it happens to be a flightmare or fireworms, where it glows naturally. No over-the-top scars either.
PERSONALITY: The dragon's personality. Try not to make them elusive and dont let them be loners. Otherwise they won't find anyone to RP with, and that's no fun at all!
HISTORY: Your dragon's background story. If your dragon has lived a long time, you need to make sure your history accomodates that. Lifespans are realistic. Don't fall into common Sue-traps.
