Hello!! Ive Been Thinking Myself And What If I Made My Girl Seraph Into An Egg Eater Of A Different Group

Hello!! Ive been thinking myself and what if i made my girl Seraph into an egg eater of a different group and I dont really know what kind of side effects from egg eating she would have or if it really changes down the road from the first dragon egg that she eats. So i thought id come to you with a description of two times, one being the first egg, the second being the time when she finds out those are dragon eggs she has been eating.

Before egg eating and during the time of the first one. She is  naïve, sensitive, pretty airheaded at times but also a strong sense of justice, and kindness. The reason why she never knew that she was eating dragon eggs in the first place, was because she wasnt originally dragon but instead changed physically and magically into a dragon. Also how she got into egg eating is because of Six.((another dragon of mine)) Who also kept her in the dark for quite some time.

But now when she found out those were indeed dragon eggs, due to some external factor. She just.... spirals... Feeling things such as despair, undeserving of any second chance, including being locked away for all time. And just massive amounts of guilt. Wishing that the countless eggs she had already eaten and that her group ate could of been undone and brought back. Yet what had been done is already done.

I would love to hear what you have to say about this and could offer some pointers on how to develop this! Thanks!

Hypergryph: Oh my goodness this poor thing! Seraph needs better friends, I hope she finds them!

Hmm... This is a REALLY interesting case you have here. When beastclan(I'm assuming she was beastclan?) ingest dragon eggs they gain powers that align with the element of the egg, the power level of which is decided by their own strength of will. So, while a dragon might gain powers based on their personality/character, a beastclan being will(more predictably) gain elemental-based powers.

Let's say, two raptoriks with equally strong wills yet opposing personalities eat fire eggs. They will both gain fire-based powers of equal strength, with no dependence on their character traits. The raw magic simply overpowers their own personal magic. However, if two dragons eat fire eggs, their personal magic is strong enough to merge with the egg's raw magic, resulting in more unpredictable powers.

I think...you may have to consider how being transformed into a dragon has affected her magical signature. Eaters can only gain powers once, but is this true in Seraph's case? Having eaten eggs before her dragon form would have given her elemental powers for sure, but since all dragons ALREADY have an element, would this render her magic as basic as every other natural-born dragon?

It could possibly open her up for another chance to gain a power when she eats eggs a second time, but seeing as she doesn't know they're eggs, her guilt won't necessarily affect her 'new' powers after the fact.

This was a really cool submission, thank you! I hope that you'll let me know what direction you decide to go with Seraph!

Hello !! It's me again, so I sent in my boy Davinci a while ago, and I thought a bit. Since he has these glowing medusa/cuttlefish(?) like spots along his wings, i kinda imagined them a side effect of his egg eating, is that possible in your lore? I never figured out any side effect but those spots are actually good for partial, short time periosd hypnotising even a dragon depending which. But I just wish to hear your opinion on and.. um a little tip what side effect would it have(the withdrawal I mean) (Also merry (late) Christmas! I hope you had a pleasent time):]

TW: mention of Withdrawals/phobias ahead

Davinci, I remember him. A beautiful dragon who looked a bit like a jellyfish ^^ The range of possible effects is infinitely vast, so bioluminescent spots can easily be one of them. Absolutely a possibility! Now for the harder question...

Hmm, the effects would depend on why Davinci has withdrawals in the first place, or if it even makes sense for Davinci to develop them.

Okira's withdrawals are, like the rest of his powers, linked to his character. Every power is representative, from his mane, to his regeneration, to his withdrawals. In short:

He feels guilty: black mane grows as a personal, visual reminder of this.

He feels undeserving of reprieve: immortality denies him the escape of death.

He feels powerless and dependent on someone horrible: withdrawals rob him of control and render him powerless and dependent on something horrible(eggs) to keep them at bay.

It's these feelings specifically that guided the decision to give Okira his magical withdrawals, which serve as both a mode of self-punishment, and a physical representation of his character's suffering.

DAVINCI THOUGHTS

Upon re-reading Davinci's story, my first instinct is to point out the theme of Secrecy and Communication. Bioluminescence is a form of communication in many animals, so giving Davinci mastery over spots that he can darken and illuminate at will, with the power to hypnotize is a wonderful way of representing his covert and secretive nature. He does not communicate his true intentions to his family, and the few times he does divulge it it is done so selectively. Like a jelly fish going dark when predators are near, or glowing vibrantly to throw off others of its kind.

I don't believe withdrawals would be appropriate in Davinci's case, as his motive is not hinged on powerlessness or dependence like Okira's. He does seem to fear harsh and clear truths, doing anything to avoid facing them( the death of his daughter being inevitable due to the disease/chasing this 'magic cure' that will supposedly solve all his problems instead of facing them/ knowing his actions will cause his family to be ashamed of him and not owning up to that). Davinci seems to avoid the spotlight as if it would burn him, either running away or intentionally hiding himself and his misdeeds through silence, lies, and hypnotism.

In Davinci's case, I would give him a powerful phobia of anything bright and clear. Direct sunlight, bodies of clear water, reflective surfaces, anything that could be representative of clarity and truth. To such a secretive character, this would make the perfect side-effect that both points out his fearfulness of facing his own harsh truths, as well as his affinity for deception/miscommunication.

This is all just my personal take on him as I've only read his previous submission, but even by just that I can tell you'll come up with something really cool! I hope I did your boy justice! ^^

@crimniko has drawn this amazing piece featuring the Egg Gang! They've been so supportive and wonderful, so please give crim some love!

(Also this new artstyle is quite beautiful, amazing job!)

For @hypergryph and their amazing characters in Flightrising, the Egg Eaters I am trying out a new style recently where I draw rough lineart traditionally. But yeh! Here is their babies :] Wanted to draw them for a long time and finally did.

Hahahahaha... Nah, Striver is forever bound to his fae overlord, so he's forever stuck doing things like this. This is why you don't make deals with the good neighbours, you usually get screwed. Shroud is just your standard unseelie, so yeah, generally a maliciously mischievous being. They really were just doing their jobs there though, so for Striver I figured his powers would come from a sense of reluctant duty? As for the Humanity comment, I figured they were like us humans, just able to have more life experiences as they live for a long time. I mostly used that word because dragonity didn't feel quite right. It also didn't sound or look good so I just went with humanity. I still don't know what I'm doing with his powers here though... Suggestions are welcome ngl.

“Ah yes, Vogonity—sorry—of the poet's compassionate soul”-Douglas Adams

Hmm well, reluctant duty...Personally I think of dark knights, like the ones employed by evil sorcerers in high fantasy. Not to mention that Striver brings nightmares to life.

So (just spitballin) perhaps Striver's touch gains a property that allows him to transform household objects into the stuff of nightmares temporarily? Perhaps it is ingrained in his scales, which he can crush into powder and blow into the faces of unsuspecting dragons. It's reminiscent of those middle-man assassins/thieves you can read about in books, while also keeping the nightmare theme.

Heck, I don't know if you can incorporate it, but you know those toads that push their knuckle bones out of their skin to make claws? Maybe something like that but with his skull mask, and a single scratch inflicts the nightmare effect.

There's really all sorts of powers he can have!
