@Polyhymnia Order form looks good, thanks! I think I've got all the information I need; the summaries you gave are very helpful.

Your total is 300g. I'll let you know when I'm ready to begin; please wait to be pinged for payment. Thank you!

@NotQuiteToxic Thanks for your order! I really appreciate the other links you included; your dragons have fantastic lore. I was particularly entranced by Aiden's. [emoji=guardian star] Your total comes to [b]300g[/b]. There are several customers ahead of you, so please don't send me any payment yet. I'll let you know once I'm ready to begin. In the meantime, I have some questions about the lore you'd like me to write. If you haven't got any ideas in mind for some of these, feel free to skip them, and I'll use my own ideas to fill in the gaps. Thank you in advance! 1. These characters seem quite similar, and I want to know what you'd like me to focus on so I can write distinct stories for each one. Do they have different origins? Different day-to-day activities, different folks they hang out with? Maybe they each experience different events that you'd like me to write about, or experience the same events but have different perspectives? 2. How does the rest of your clan generally regard them? 3. Do they have any special abilities or traits that set them apart from ordinary dragons? (For example, they're made of glass -- does this affect them in any way? Maybe they're slow to recover from injuries, avoid certain temperatures, etc.)

@HalfDragon02 Thanks again for your order form! Love the description of Hermes; that's pretty funny. xD And yes, payment offer of 300kt is correct. I'll ping you for payment once I'm ready to begin writing for you.

In the meantime, I feel I need more information on Hermes and the lore you'd like me to write, since 2,000 words is fairly long. Are there specific scenes or events you'd like me to focus on? Maybe the divorce, or meetings with the council, or hanging out with his pets; or all of those? Or just a general slice-of-life story? (I may have more questions later about other characters in your clan.)

@Taishiro Thank you for ordering again! This is you 5th order in a row, so with 15% off (from 45g), your total is worth 38,250t (or equivalent in mixed). I can get started on this today. Please send me 3,825t OR 4g (or equivalent), thanks!

@Disillusionist
Awesome! I'll get the currency sent to you in a CR momentarily ^^

@Disillusionist I'm not totally sure- maybe a story focusing on his meetings with the council? I was also thinking about maybe including Hermes finding out about his ex-wife (Hera) getting a new husband (Eryx) and how he feels about that. If you need any more information, just let me know!

@Farallon @cinderrain @/cle Just a heads-up that the shop is now on hiatus! You may want to read this post, which has additional reminders and info in case you want to request edits, cancel your order, etc. Feel free to ping/PM me if you have any other concerns that aren't addressed there.

@cle I also wanted to check and see if you saw my questions about your order. I don't need the information yet, but I just wanted to make sure the post wasn't missed.

Thanks again for your orders, everyone, and have a great day/night!

@HalfDragon02 Got it, thank you! With that in mind, I have some questions about the characters Hermes will interact with. These are just to make sure I don't clash with any lore or headcanons you have -- if you haven't got any ideas in mind for some of these, feel free to skip them, and I'll just use my own ideas to fill in those gaps. Thank you in advance! (Unrelated to the order, but holy moly, he's descended from my [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/52199388]Tashbaan[/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/28626040]Harfang[/url]! Through Rolinin, Aodan, and Cian. I knew those colors looked familiar. This is so cool; I always love finding my clan's relatives in the wild! [emoji=bogsneak star]) 1. Could I have brief personality descriptions for Hera and Eryx? 2. [i]He has an ex-wife who says that she divorced him because of his 5 pet chickens (and goose who thinks he's a chicken), but there was obviously something deeper going on.[/i] Since it looks like I'll have to touch on the divorce in the lore, I was wondering what the "something deeper" was. Just a clash of personalities, maybe him being invisible all the time, or something else? 3. How do Hera and Eryx act towards Hermes, and vice-versa? Do they try to be friendly, distant but polite, or snarky? 4. Hermes is the local fool/jester, and the council members don't take him seriously -- how and why is he still on the council? Is the jester traditionally required to join, is he just there for entertainment, does he actually give good advice, does he have skills/expertise in a specific field (caring for animals and/or familiars, maybe?) etc.? 5. Are there any members of the council that Hermes regularly interacts with? I'm mostly interested in knowing who leads the council, as well as who Hermes' friends and enemies might be. (If you haven't got any specific characters in mind, I can just create NPCs as needed.) 6. Do Hermes' pets have names and personalities? 7. When Hermes isn't out and about, how does he spend his free time at home? Does he also take off the cloak at times?

@Disillusionist Thank you!! Aiden's is actually one of the few I've written myself! As far as these two being VERY similar; They're a matched set, so that makes sense! (I imagine this when I think of them) [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3a/4a/56/3a4a564ba94af7b32bcda9a1fcd07769.jpg[/img] I'd love to see both different perspectives, and different activites for each. (as an example, one of them could be from Latticino's pov with them basking in [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/60098428]someone[/url]'s forge-- and Murrina's being them going off to pilfer through some [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/81400183]poor sod's[/url] hoard, or maybe just coming across a huge stash in the deeper, no-longer occupied lair caverns) I imagine that these lil guys are like Borrowers or Gremlins in that VERY few know about them even though they're living in the same place! I've been thinking about what makes them different from your typical dragon! SO I'm thinking Latticino has a semi-molten core (but doesn't burn things/people unless he gets pissed off) and Murrina is actually closer to crystal (specifically smoky citrine) in composition. Both eat minerals, rocks, and gems. A strong blow would probably break them, but Latticino would "heal" faster because of the semi-molten core, and can also help Murrina heal, assuming that they have access to sand, metal, or rocks (in order of most-least effective) They DO NOT like the cold, and can become sort of goopy when exposed to forge-level heat, though they both seem to enjoy that (Latticino moreso).

@NotQuiteToxic Thanks for the additional information and suggestions! Those are very helpful (and I love the cow plushie examples, too). I've noted down the extra info on the front page, and I'll ping you again once I'm ready to start working on your lore.
