I Noticed In The Bad Memories Post,khoga Doesn't Have Multigaze In Her Flashback! Did She Give Herself

i noticed in the bad memories post,khoga doesn't have multigaze in her flashback! did she give herself multigaze through experimenting with herself?

Sharp eye there! There're a few new things hidden in that post, so I’m glad you found one of em! ^^

Dragon eye types were one of her focuses when she worked for a certain research facility, and she would test the different types on herself on and off to study any resulting changes in magical ability. Not too far a cry from what she’s doing now...well, not legally speaking haha

Talos’ Comic design ^^ I won’t be adding too much jewelry in-comic as it’s time consuming to create. 

 You can really see where Chirin gets his ‘helmet’ markings! 

[Stumbles in here] Oh shit is it egg muncher sharing day?

Hi hello I hope you're doing grand on this fine day! May I offer you a good boy in this trying time? His name is Bonesong, and for the sake of mobile users I'll try and give a tl:dr version here.

-Dad is poggers but mom is power hungry GARBAGE. -Lil man copes by hanging out around his unhatched sibling. -Dad dies before said sibling can hatch (Uh oh! Uh oh! Doomed egg!) -Lil man thinks it's incredibly BS that unhatched sibling can't even get a chance to proove themselves as a survivor and tries to think of a way to save the sib bc he KNOWS they're in there he can feel it in his bones. -Mom is getting worse and is looking weird at sib (uh oh! uh oh!) -UNDER PRESSURE.mp4 -While trying to do some ritual magic lil man hears mom coming closer. -UNDER PRESSURE.MP4 -Decides the best corse of action to save his unhatched sibling is to just down the egg in one mid ritual and leg it. -This works! Kinda! He can hear sib's voice in his own head and his body is changing to accomodate a symbiote. -From this point forth they just kinda lurk around and keep eating eggs under the impression they're Saving them from their mom.

So that's my boy! I'm curious to what you think and what power you'd give him bc rn I'm honestly stumped apart from the ability to see spirits and symbiotic limbs! M also curious to what you say a dragon might get if they wholeheartedly beleived they were doing the right thing and saving the egg by eating it as you are the giant rat that makes all of the rules! Hope your day goes wonderfully!! ovo)/ [sparkles]

Alrighty, as Emperor-President-Tzar-King Rat I have something to declare about your boy Bonesong...

This is among the most clever uses of egg eating I've had the pleasure of reading! The themes of plague (survival, parasitism vs symbiosis) are so neatly interwoven with this particular instance of egg eating that it offers an example of the different directions egg eating can take. He's not just some tortured soul, or a desperate dragon seeking some selfish and egotistically driven desire, but a brother hoping to give his little sibling a chance at a life they were unfairly denied (something that, as an older sibling myself I can deeply respect. Perhaps I am biased in that regard?).

This act, from my perspective, seems truly selfless. While egg eating is generally deemed morally abhorrent, this time it was done altruistically with only Bonesong sacrificing a bit of his body for the sake of his unhatched sibling. It's unexpected, creative, well developed, and a delightful change from the usual brand of egg eater.

Now the egg raiding and revenge plot afterwards bumps him from hero to morally grey character( Vengeance and Altruism become very blurred here) but that is simply how it is.

In terms of powers you've asked: "I'm also curious to what you say a dragon might get if they wholeheartedly believed they were doing the right thing."

To that I say, it depends on the context of what that thing is. His character 'merges' with his sister to offer her some semblance of life, and by giving him the mirror characteristics of his absorbed sister I believe you've manifested these powers quite well. Expanding on the idea of Bonesong sacrificing his body to accommodate the less fortunate, a possible power could be allowing spirits to commandeer his body for a short while. Or perhaps he can craft bodies for these spirits to possess as long as the material he uses has a trace of his own body, like a golem. However, these are mere expansions, as he's pretty solid as is!

Anyways, amazing dragon, great character, and really solid concept! I hope you have an amazing week. Keep on creating awesome characters, you definitely have a knack for it!

Have you read the book series Cradle at all? I ask because I had a strange thought regarding the magic types of eggs vs dragons-- The main character of the series (at least as far as I've gotten) has a condition that made the magic in his body remain pure, as opposed to other people developing "proper" magic of certian elements.

If this were to happen to a dragon-- somehow keeping the untainted egg magic after hatching/into adulthood, would they be uh. A giant target?

I haven't, though reading about Lindon's soul condition definitely puts it on my 'to-read' list. I'm reading Wings of Fire at the moment as per recommendation, and always love getting book suggestions^^

Hmm...That's an interesting question. While Khoga knows about the raw elemental energies, she would still have to find a way to extract it from a living dragon(pretty difficult!). This means holding a dragon prisoner while on the run(also pretty difficult!). That would greatly risk their cover, but if there was reason to believe this 'raw magic' dragon could provide infinite raw energy, Khoga would pitch the idea to capture them.

Matthias wouldn't like the idea one bit, though. Funnily enough, he'd actually feel threatened to the point of jealousy!

Awesome question, and thank you for bringing Cradle to my attention!

Guess who's back with another infected with the egg eating bug? Shroud is apparently very convincing as he got his bestie, who's a normal SD, to monch eggs. Said bestie is named Striver. The two work together to feed their lord's power, with Shroud terrorizing sleeping parents, then Striver brining those nightmares to life.

It's not obvious in this picture, but he has glow eyes. I'm not sure what kind of powers he got from the egg monching, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Hypergryph:

Sorry for the delay, I've been spending time with my Mom, as she's been teaching me how to cook all her wonderful recipes. Been a bit preoccupied with cherry turnovers, onigiri, and enchiladas!

I read the short story in Striver's bio, and have to say it was riveting! How you incorporated the taste of the nature eggs was a fun callback to the flavor post! There's also a line in there that's food for thought. It's about losing 'humanity'. Do dragons have 'humanity' in the form that us humans do, or are there key differences? I always assumed that dragons were simply 'more' than humans, physically, mentally, and spiritually, so does that mean they are complex in ways we could never hope to be? Idk, but it's certainly something to chew on!

Striver is also extremely beautiful in his design and color! His blue-purple-red palette is broken up by his skin/ outfit in a way that makes him seem ornate. Also his glowy eyes are pretty neat^^

Unlike those that are drawn to egg eating by their own selfish desires, those that are tricked or goaded into egg eating are also victims themselves(though still not absolved of wrongdoing!). I wish him redemption, and reprieve from shroud's evil influence. Awesome submission!

Hey, so Riot's ability works by dragging up bad memories from someone's past and then magnifying the reaction, sending the victim into a blind rage. It can be resisted or shrugged off completely if someone has just. Made peace with all their bad memories or if someone just has great control over their emotions.

Who would be most affected?? And who would be least affected??

Most of them would be overcome with emotion. Khoga and Matthias, though, would be my best bet for holding it together.
