Secundi

Farallon dragons are native to regions of mountainous terrain, though many also seek shelter in huge canyons and cliffsides. They are almost never capable of flight, and instead rely on their wings to buffer their descent as they leap down to lower areas of the mountain. Because of their sure-footedness, they are very popular as pack animals and mounts. Their intelligence and friendliness make them easy enough to keep, though they will refuse to stay with a human that abuses them.

Though they cannot speak, their reasoning skills are quite sharp, and they can learn to recognize nearly 1,000 human words. They are omnivorous and incredibly resourceful. Their quick wit is only surpassed by their loyalty to a kind owner. Even though they must be turned out into the wild during the breeding season, they will always return home.

Farallon dragons can be almost any color, with almost every pattern imaginable, though it usually leans more toward natural patterning such as dappling and stripes. Skin tends to be either somewhat lighter or darker than the actual fur coloring, and scales tend to be a different color entirely and leaning more toward neutral and earthy colors. Of course, there is always the exception. Both males and females have horns and tentacles, though there are variations without horns. Lack of fur, tentacles, scales or feathers is considered an extreme mutation, and many breeders are wary of creating such creatures. Then again... there are always people who want to breed the next designer dragon!


Stats
Stats can be inborn, or trained. Trained and magically enhanced stats are able to be passed on to offspring, so genetics have no direct effect on stats.  Genetics are rudimentary and simple for the time being as I feel my way through the system. Color and a few other factors are left open to my artistic discretion though there will be at least some rhyme and reason to color inheritance.

Stats are currently set up as a bonus system. A number isn't given but instead a bonus amount that acts as a modifier added to a die roll. Stats will show up in this way:

Health: +0
Strength: +4
Speed: +1
Stamina:+0
Agility: +0
Intelligence: +0

Most custom and raffle dragons will be given 5 mod points to allocate into where the owner wishes them to be. Offspring will generally have stats to reflect their gender and the parents.

Genetics
Genetics are currently being worked on.

The Genders and other Terminology
Drake: Male
Queen: Female
Nymph: The third gender.
Drakling: Young Farallon still under the care of the mother.
Penny: Maiden Queen/ Farallon female below breeding age
Tyke: Young Drake below breeding age.

Breeding

Breeding takes place by unleashing all breeding animals out into the wild, which is where they court and take their mates. Both males and females will breed with several suitors, which causes females to carry offspring from various mates. Males who can monopolize the females will sire more offspring. Scheduled breedings are possible, and a mate can be chosen for a single breeding at no extra cost (Aside from normal breeding cost) And will guarantee one Drakling sired by that father. Beware when breeding for several recessive traits; they may have adverse effects on the young and the Drakling may be stillborn and still count as your guaranteed drakling from that sire! There are several items that will become available during the breeding season that will greatly increase the siring success of your male.

The Third Gender
This is a rare creature that breeders only dream about. This creature is technically hermaphroditic, and capable of full fledged flight. This androgynous creature will collect genetic data from two other Farallon and combine it into a litter. This opens up new possibilities for combining rare traits, and guarantees the parentage as this rare dragon will always breed with the two requested dragons! Because of its unique nature, this also means it can combine genetic material from two males or two females! This is thought to be an evolutionary mutation that allowed for the species to maintain a population even when the males and females were too far apart to find each other for the mating season. (which was prone to happening in ancient history when magic was still volatile and often changed the shape of the world right from under people's feet!)

Farallon Token Stock:20
These are minted out of a strange, gleaming metal. 1-5 of these will be awarded for adoption bribes.

Magic Stone Stock: 2  Cost: 10 Tokens
Wow.. what a beautiful stone! It glistens in the sunlight. I wonder what it would do to your dragon if you gave it to them?

Fertility Root Stock: 2  Cost: 3 Tokens
Good for one breeding. This increases the amount of offspring in your breeding by two, and guarantees at least three live offspring.

Love Potion Stock: 2  Cost: 2 Tokens
Use this potion on a dragon pair. This will guarantee that at least two (if there are that many) offspring will be from that father.

"Bind me to you" Love Collars Stock:2  Cost: 5 Tokens
These collars bind a male and female together for an entire breeding season. The male will be unable to mate with any other females, and all of the children will be from that father.

Dragon: (#F8)
Gender: Drake
Genetics: Uu* ff* SS TT ee hh

Notes: Oh my.. the coat of this drake is metallic! Even stranger is his extreme scale formation. It creates a hard shell across his face, and curls back into what appears to be horns. It is all one huge scale though, and if ripped away with extreme force, would cause great injury.

Ooh, copper. Very pretty!

Heh, he has a Naa faceplate! And he's gorgeous too, I love copper and blue paired together. Next best thing to red and blue. =)

Oho, I'm so glad it turned out obvious, Keillin! It's totally a Naa cosplay XD *highfives*

He's so awesome!

O_O I saw that guy as the example in your trading thread and fell in love, then I pop in here and see he's mine?! Thank you so much, it made my day <333 Could I name him Caedo please? :D

HEHEHEEE! Nako is UBER win and it makes me stupidly happy that his 'mimic' base is apparent! x3  Excellent, excellent job, Nako! x3

i also like the compliment on his base colours since he is a Xol mimic. x3  *loves on Xol so much* x3

i can't wait for his white ear to show up, too. x3 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, NAKO!!!!! i totally need to hit you up for more customs. x3 <333

I know I haven't responded to every comment expressing compliments about my art, but I'd like to say collectively to you all; Thank you! I really appreciate it :D

@red_uni: Ahaha! Isn't it awesome how that works out? XD I hadn't even realized you hadn't picked up yet, I probably shouldn't have used it as an example before checking but, no harm no foul I like to say! I'm so glad you like him. He's one of my favorites.

@Sera: <3333 Don't worry, if photobucket is stupid and decides not to update like it should, I'll re-upload it under a different name.

Gave a tiny, tiny update. Just wanting everyone to know that I'm thinking about my adoptables every day and haven't forgotten about them <3

*gives this a tiny tickle* X3

*flails wildly* whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Eeeee you're back! :D

*squees happily* :D

And I am very excited to be back :D And working on the brand spanking new female shadework. I'm making the different fur types now. DX Oh man. This is -work-

these dragons look soooo cool!!!!

Here is an example of a female farallon for all you guys to see :D

http://www.secundi.net/forum.php?topic=3758.0

Sorry if I missed this, there is just so much info everywhere XD Will the ones from the raffle still get certed? I posted a name and stats, but I don't think she ever got certed.

I actually never managed to put together an official 'cert' because school snuck up on me. Feel free to just post the stats on any sort of 'Secundi pets' topic of yours underneath the  image to keep track of it. I'll eventually get together some sort of database or... something. Eep. Either that or get Certs put together. Though the certificate will likely not be on the Farallon image itself but a separate image. I'm still not 100% sure how to do it.

Actually... perhaps I should hold a contest later for a nice Cert image. *shrugs*

I don't have one of those xD I save all stuff to my computer, so I'll add the name and stats to the file name there, but you can't see that of course :P
I only have a special character thread for custom references and one with all my Garden Noms xD

Aaah XD I'll see about creating some sort of database in the near future

Hm. I finally got photoshop back and I'm wanting to draw. So, I'll be drawing the frankenraffle from -forever- ago from scratch. Anyone want to harass me on livestream to make sure I finish it?

Normally I would ^^ But I have company, so I have to entertain them instead of watch my screen and telling them to entertain themself =p

Ahaha, understandable XD

Sorry about that, loves! I'll try to be back at the end of finals. 8D

Awesome!

Aaaaand I'm back

*HOARDS ALL FARALLON ALWAYS* D8  i need more.

*stalkstalkstalkstalk*   I soooo need some of these!  o.o

Wooooo let's give this another try e_e

((I'm gonna take a gander and say I have the right number of stats... So can Restless Soul be named Razka(+2 Agility, +2 Intelligence, +1 Health), Jade Princess be named Jinshe(+3 Speed, +2 Intelligence), and Bad Boy be named Pennor(+4 Strength, +1 Stamina)?  If I don't have the right number of stats, then whatever's closest is fine.:) ))

Woot, updated! Also if anyone has babies they haven't named, I highly suggest doing that so I can color their adult images. Also if anyone bought/won Farallon and didn't name them or if ANYONE's Farallon is not on the list, let me know. <3

Can't believe I forgot to name my baby XD
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/Nakolune/Decbabies2_zps75b1d960.png)
Would like to name her Lira please!

Hey, all! Is this still going on? Just curious. Trying to get my feet wet in adoptions again. :) I miss it.

I'm getting Farallon back on its feet, yes 8D The hatchliings are ones that was part of a breeding. I'm thinking that if they don't get claimed I'll likely give them away in a game or something. I'm a little overdue for a giveaway, actually. I'll also take bribes.

Here's Aralie's grown baby!

(http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/The_Farallon/F31_zpshy6gwtwj.png)

How funny! Upon growing up, her grey claws turned more of a reddish pink, and her silver pinto fur turned white. Luckily she retained her rather pretty darker 'points' on her ears, tail and primary feathers.

Pretty girl <3

Soo pretty!

Hey, Nako! Very glad to see the Farallon back in action. ^^ Ooh, and Lira grew up very pretty!

My little guy's telling me his name's Orion. Suppose I can't argue with him. XD

Oooo! Totally forgot I had babies! Will have to go spend some time with them and learn thier names!
