The Rules
Every page must be 100% done and up before you apply.
I do not accept reserves. Any candidate not in by the deadline will not impress.Deadline: December 17, 2004 (Friday)
Or when the clutch is filled, whichever comes first.Groups containing more than three candidates will not be accepted.
This is an overall number, so no trying to sneak in two candidates out of a group-story for fifteen...Candidate stories must follow the chosen Topic.
Any candidate stories failing this requirement will not be accepted.Candidates do not have to be Pern related.
Ryslen will accept Pernese, Alskyrian, Danachian, or anything else you can dream up.
The candidate must be able to ride or fly with a dragon.)Your page must be child-safe.
If you wouldn't want your little sister or your grandmother to read it, chances are it won't be accepted.There must be a working link back to Ryslen Weyr.
Please try to put "Nidus Ryslen" instead of "here."If you Impress, you have one week to get your dragon's hatchling stage up.
If you fail, they will be abandoned. You will have a week to get the fledgling stage up, and a week to get the adult stage up. If this is not humanly possible for you, you must Email TyGryph before the week is up.You may not alter the images without permission. You must join the Mailing List!
( Click here to subscribe!) All notices, including hatchings, will be sent via this list! If you lose your dragon because you're not on this list, it's your own fault.You must read the rules.
Congrats! You're already ahead of the game! Please put a number (1-100) in the comments box. I'll randomly choose a number and whoever is closest will win something (to be announced with the Hatching). You can choose a different number for each form you send in (or not).We understand that some people prefer to keep their weyrs/cathairs/caers traditional. If you prefer your candidate not impress an opposite gendered dragon, this Must be on your form. If it isn't, you have no right to complain when it happens. No Exceptions. If you'd like to name your own dragon, please put the name on the form. If you want to name your dragon, but still be surprised, put more than one name. Your names will not be taken and used for other dragons without your permission. Please be aware that putting a name on the form does not guarantee your dragon will have that name. If you believe you have a valid reason for breaking one of these rules, please debate it with TyGryph via email or IM. As a scholar of philosopy, she'll greatly enjoy hearing (and refuting if necessary) your logic. If you break the rules, but haven't discussed with TyGryph, expect to pay the consequences.
Without Further Ado:
This year's Flurry Topic:
Quality, not Quantity.
Yes, that's a bit vague, but I think that it will work out just fine. Be creative in your interpretation of this, and if you get stuck, you can always talk to TyGryph. She doesn't bite people for asking questions.
And remember -- Flurry Novo (candidate) stories must include snow.
Persons of note at Ryslen
Prima Jeyann (Her Story) and Gold Mezireth
Primus Ke'l (His Story) and Bronze Kalavanth
Decurio D'lrik and Brown Aurekinth
D'lirk is in his 50's now, and is very calm and controlled, even when younglings have done something very wrong. He is stern when he needs to be, but quick to encourage and commend those who need it most. Aurekinth keeps a watchful eye on candidates and 'lings alike from his ledge when not actively teaching.
Headwoman Ikara
Ikara is a cheerful woman in her late 40's who'd be rolly-polly if she wasn't constantly busy with one thing or another. Kind hearted, but stern when she needs to be.
Custos Kerli and Green Sxoith
Kerli is a reclusive, quiet woman. Sxoith is a bit nosy. The pair is suited well to watching who comes and goes from Ryslen.
Custos Ke'li and Red Xhimboth
Ke'li is son of Kerli, and half-brother of Ke'l -- shared father. Ke'li is a very helpful young man.Please note that Tiyanni is now retired. While she is still at Ryslen, she's probably chatting with the mothers on the sands or causing mischeif or something.
Ryslen's Searchriders:
You are more than welcome to use your own Searchers.
Ryslen's are listed for your convenience.
J'lenn on Blue Scith
J'lenn is King of the Hidebound - cranky. Very cranky. Warning - He strongly dislikes non-human candidates, and non-pernese colored dragons. Late 40-ish. Single.
Note: J'lenn is "Grounded" and can NOT leave Ryslen. Any encounters with him must be at Ryslen until TyGryph says otherwise. He and Scith can still Search, but potential candidates must come to them. Sorry for the inconvenience. (Heh.)
D'run on Blue Okserth
D'run is the fatherly type, looks for good in everyone. He's early 50-ish, weyrmated to Headwoman Ikara
R'lan on Blue Ancith
R'lan is the big brother type. Expect a bit of 'tough love' if necessary. He's 30-ish now, weyrmated to Greenrider Tylar.
J'rin on Blue Amitath
J'rin is a fun-loving joker, and Amitath is never wrong. Arguing with him is a bad idea... J'rin is about 30 and married to Greenrider Maiahn. (You can read his story here.)
Minaeya (Min, for short) on Night-Green Auspexeth
Min can see auras (read her story for details. Please note that she can not tell precisely what color a candidate will impress, unless they are strongly blue or green.), and Aussie has a very sensitive nose. Also they're Ryslen's first Female Searchers. Min is late 20ish, and single.
Rrknz on Blue Chzarnth
Rrknz is a sweet-talking, courteous, and enthusiastic male Dgeth, a former ambassador. He’s unbiased and clear-headed, but tends to take on more than he can handle--traits that his lifemate, the noble blue Chzarnth, mirrors. Rrknz is early-middle-aged, for a Dgeth, and a confirmed bachelor. (For more about the Dgeth and their discovery, see Trhrrn’s story and Rrknz’s story.)
Toshi on Black Shouraith
Toshi is a very determined young woman, and knows how to be diplomatic to get things done. Though she's a sister of Prima Jeyann, she never uses that for leverage. (Her Story) She's quite besotted with a bluerider from Cy Dragonstake, so she won't be flirting with anyone...
