Name: Atcydia
Size: Medium, about the size of a large dolphin, one an adult human could ride
Care: Full Time
Bonder: Non-bonded Atcydia's will stay in their group.
Stages: egg, hatchling, teen, adult

General Info
Atcydia's live in the vast oceans around Gineya. They are a peaceful dragonbreed that communicate mentally with each other and their bonders. Young Atcydia's are named by their parents and will require the bonders to stay close to Cyan Nights Cove the first years of their Atcydia's lives. There is a big village on the island (Eshenrik) and another on the main isle (Averian) for them to stay in. 
Once they are adult they are allowed to leave their parents or stay in the flock with them. Usually this is the time for off worlders to return home about three years after the hatching.

Mating Info
Once Atcydia's are adult they can mate. Males will chase willing females and the fastest, smartest and boldest will most likely win, although some Atcydia's have been known to deny the winner in favour of another, more wanted mate. Some Atcydia's have been known to mate for life, others have another partner every time.
The eggs are laid in the big coral reefs in the cove, young Atcydia's can't swim and have under- developed gills so they can't survive long in open waters. The mothers beach themselves and tend to the eggs, helped by Gineyan staff until the eggs are ready to hatch. Hatching time is different for every egg and usually the bonding will occur to the person nearest to the egg. Double bondings aren't unheard off, and are even quite common. But remember, only certain people can manage to take care of 2 Atcydia's at the same time.

Colours
Atcydia's come in all the colours of the rainbow, and only whites are rare.

WHITE:	Very rare and vicious, whites have been known to start wars between the friendly Atcydia's
YELLOW:	Happy and Friendly, yellow Atcydia's like sunfilled days and warm waters.
ORANGE:	Very creative and intelligent dragons who like everything as long as it doesn't hurt them.
RED:	Fiery among the water dragons, reds have been known to breath fire when angered.
GREEN:	Very common and level headed the greens are practical.
AQUA:	Aquas are more powerful and generally grow bigger than other Atcydia's. They like music and dancing.
BLUE:	Very common these Atcydia's like freedom and space.
INDIGO:	Indigos are smart and sensitive, with a preference for sunsets and moonlit walks on the beach.
PURPLE:	Purple is a royal colour and they make sure you know it. A purple is very honest and polite around others. This doesn't mean that they don't like games and swimming like the others, this just means their acting skills are really good.
PINK:	Pinks are fluffy and friendly. They like company and social gathers. If there isn't a party going on, pinks will organise one.
BLACK:	Blacks are shy and not likely to show themselves to any human other than their bond. They like living though, they are the greatest optimists among the Atcydias.
