PHYSIOLOGY

Purebred light dragons have thin and flexible scales that resemble velvet or fur. They often carry a set of antlers or a single split horn. Despite their docile appearance, their teeth are curved and ideal for tearing flesh. Their forelegs are typically cloven hooved. They have a thin, wiry tail that ends in a tuft of fur. They are said to resemble deer, zebra, antelope, or Kirin. Unless they are crossbred with a flighted element, they will only grace the fields and not the sky.

TEMPERAMENT

Their Riders tend to be aesthetically pleasing, charismatic, vain, or manipulative. Light Riders get a boost in all of these attributes after they have bonded with their dragon. Looking at a light Rider or their dragon can give a sense of euphoria, peace, and happiness. This strange aura doesn’t affect other light riders, dark riders, or their dragons. Their abilities make them exceptionally good at convincing others of their cause, which has plenty of drawbacks.

Preferred Rider Attributes:

  • Charismatic
  • Attractive
  • Insufferable
  • Vain
  • Manipulative
  • Narcissistic
  • Sensitivity to Others
  • Self-confidence
  • Ambition
  • Consistency
  • Easily Bored
  • Power-hungry
  • Dramatic

LIGHT MAGIC

More than anything else, light dragons are capable of stunning illusions. They can appear invisible, gigantic, beautiful, and all other kinds of shapes. These illusions are not true shape shifting, and only caused by particularly tantalizing pheromones that the dragons give off. The illusions cannot physically affect the world, although a good Light dragon is able to weave a very convincing illusion that may not need to do any physical work of their own to get the job done.

They can’t exactly mind control, but they can heavily influence the thoughts and memories of others for a short amount of time. Temporary hypnosis is quite possible for them. On the physical level, Light dragons can use magic to gain enhanced agility and jumping skills. Finally, they are capable of glowing or generating balls of light near them once they have learned magic.

Magic Physiology

On top of the general Tier IV magic effects, your dragon can have these traits. This is only available to dragons with Tier IV Light magic or Elemental Anomaly. These traits have no effect on breeding. Feel free to get creative and use things outside of this list.

  • Bioluminescence
  • Heraldry
  • Star Pearl
  • Iridescence
  • Shimmer
  • Light orbs around it

BASE COLOR RULES

Their most common colors are pastel hues or simply white, though this range is incredibly versatile. If you want to learn how to push the limit, just think of your dragon as having the Faded display trait. Here is a suggested selection of colors. Below you can find an in-depth example of Light Dragon palettes, though you do not need to pick directly from it. Click to view the full image.

Light Display and Modifier Traits

The following traits are founded in the Light element, and thus have a better chance of passing to offspring.

Flaunt | Zebra | Roan | Faded | Rabicano | Suntouched | Pangare | Appaloosa
Radiance | Spectrum | Star Pearl | Iridescence | Bioluminescence | Bearded | Heraldry

 

They are equally compatible with these Metal and Fire traits:

Origin | Vibrancy | Detonation | Emblazoned | Pharaoh | Magma | Scorched | Sable 
Phoenix | Double Crest | Aegis | Thorned Spine | Translucent | Spaded Tail | Dorsal Spines
Grunge | Patina | Stairstep | Forged | Veined | Chroma | Rusted | Splotched
Treasure | Engraved | Shimmer | Gilded | Sheen | Shell | Plating

 

However, they are incompatible with Ocean Traits, and the following traits have a reduced pass rate. Light semi-customs and Light SC cross breeds have the rarity of these traits increased by two:

Shark | Koi | Marbled | Marked | Ripple | Blanket | Orca | Spotted
Torrent | Capricorn | Tentacles | Many-finned | Pelvic Fins | Dorsal Fin | Gilled

 

Flight Bars

Category: Display

These are most visible while in flight and are based on the speculum feathers of birds. They should be on the bottom area of the wing close to the body and only on a SINGLE SIDE of the wing (you pick dorsal or ventral). You may include horizontal white, black, or brown banding like the speculum feathers of some ducks. The band itself should not extend to the bottom of the wings unless you create a black, white, or brown bar on the bottom edges of the marking. It will not appear anywhere else on the dragon and will not show on wingless dragons. They will create opaque patches on translucent wings, with dorsal and ventral sides showing a different color.

NOTE: ALL STRIPES MUST BE HORIZONTAL! These stripes show the direction that flight bars can go.

Flight bars will never appear vertical in relation to the wing. They will only be horizontal. The length and position is up to you, as long as there is one main bar and it is horizontal. You may have any number of black and white bars, but only one of them may be brightly colored. The brightly colored bar should not touch the bottom edge of the wings.

Texture Rules

The edge of Flight Bars can be textured, a gradient, or solid.

Color Rules

Flight Bars may be any color within elemental rules. In addition, one central bar can show a gradient between any two colors. It can be affected by color modifiers. You may add white or black outline bars on the top or bottom of the marking. These outline bars can go out of range, as long as the marking covers less than 50% of the wing overall. Any sections that touch the edge of the wings will be white or black. Flight bars will create opaque patches on translucent wings, with dorsal and ventral sides of the colorful stripe showing a different color.
Here are some examples of how to create outlines on the Flight Bars:

Layering Rules

Flight Bars may be layered in any order, but will not appear over Top-Layer Markings.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

Flight Bars is restricted to the wings. It will not appear anywhere else on the dragon and will not show on wingless dragons.

Charged Flight Bars

Charged Flight Bars allows you to show the marking on both sides of the wing. Additionally, all bars may be any color, and the marking may be asymmetric.
