Though both parents reside at the Rookery, it is not very convenient for them to actually lay and hatch there at this moment, so they've gone back to Kinemorth's home sands at Meridian! They are pure Pernese (with old blood, and some slight Alskyran influence) and will require a bond. That bond can be of any type - humanoid, draconic, robotic, energy, whatever as long as it can take care of or manage to get someone else to take care of the hatchling during their infancy. Multibonds may be possible but they must have a caretaker too. There will doubtless be more dragons than bonds so adoptions will be available.

You'd expect a small female and an equally smallish male to have a smallish clutch, right? Oh, you'd be dreadfully mistaken. Something happened on the way to Meridian, and while Gozu'lath laid around 8 eggs, it was almost as if the ground itself helped them along, growing more and more of them around each egg until there was a veritable ... Patch! A pumpkin patch but filled with eggs instead of squash. Any candidates would be encouraged to wander through this patch of varied small eggs to sense if they'd be a good match with one or more; a lot of colorful pumpkins have been growing around them too so there might be hints to the egg cluster coloration based on what unusual decorative gourds have grown near.

Applications should include a link to a page - whether it's a bare bones placeholder or fully fleshed out story, either is fine though stats pages are encouraged, as this is a low-effort party clutch. **2026 note that I want to get these out, and those who had sent character requests have a special addendum sent out. Others are request-based, clutch is open until everyone's spoken for.
--Original and Cadidate based requests: Your Name / Contact info, the candidate name, any preferences you might have/hard nopes, and their link, send it to Zekiran on discord.
-- For 2026 a list of up to 6 dragons in order of desired, with the understanding that if others prefer one more, they may get it, and a round-2 will happen if there are a lot of overlaps.
Any candidate is a good candidate, it can be a randomly generated picrew or the kid of existing characters, all are welcome. No stress about stories. They manage to get to this party because Kendrick, that's why. He makes doorways into passages to wherever he likes, and as such he'll be able to bring whoever you choose to this party right on time. Maybe even without knowing it.

Naming will be -TH ended, with some complex or alt-language if needed; names and extra/strong powers will be determined based on personality of bond/caretaker, unless you want something specific
Art is by Molly, modified (in some cases) and colored by Zekiran/Shard; Links to both this page and Meridian would be appreciated.

Size: will be small, between 4'9" and 7'6" at shoulder, though they might have potential to throw larger from other pairings, and they do include a much bigger granddaddy, most of their immediate relatives are not large at all
Features: all have paw-like feet, head knobs, 3-fingered wings; ^some will have claws visible, eye ridges, neck spines, tail spade, all may carry those features to other generations
Abilities: Will be good fliers;
Teleportation exceptional with added time, nexus, and long distance or extra-carry capacity ability;
Communication includes strong Telepathy, may include verbal speech, added ability to communicate outside of typical bounds such as 'to non-telepaths' or 'to people across dimensions';
Firebreath may be assisted or unassisted but carried either way to next generations;
Potential added senses including life-based detection nearby, accurate timing, probability while teleporting (just the right moment, just the right outcome), and search sniffing capabilities
Color / Ranks: Selected from the variety of pumpkin colors, includes Black, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Teal, Green, and added Purple because Halloween isn't Halloween without it; Colors may be quite vibrant, very dark, or rather pale; Almost all are bicolored just because reasons; Ranks are approximately Pernese in that very rares tend to come 'above' the normal ones, but there's only one 'normal' color presented so there's that...
If your dragon must go to a more traditional Weyr, rares are rares, but you could pass off most Red and Orange as Browns, some Orange and Yellows as Bronze or Gold, some Teals as either green or blue, and Purples as 'from Alskyr or something'
Gendering: while some might present as male or female, it's completely up to you if desired, and any changes can be made just tell me what you decide; these can lay or sire, both, neither, serve whatever role you'd like, though they are still effectively Pernese and tend to 'expect' to rise or chase and then lay or guard eggs
