#star-class

Pardon the delayed response to this, anon, but I hope you're doing well. <3

And that all depends on you, now, doesn't it? =3

Star-Class dragons kind of work for everyone, since beyond Beau, they're all over the draconium spectrum. So really, which Star-Class is right for you depends on their dominant draconium influence, as it'll most effect their behaviors out of the others. Speaking of the draconiums...!

Black Psi-Class dragons tend to work well with cunning riders, who're sharp and clever enough to bounce off of them. They are very empathetic creatures, to the point of pseudo-psychic links. They're very opinionated and willful, and won't pay you much heed if they don't respect you. If you think you have the mind to meet the wit of a Psi, then there you go!

Red Magma-Class dragons are hot-headed and emotional beasts, on the other side of that coin. But because of their fiery nature, if you don't know how to keep them in line, things can get wild real fast. They are wild but loyal, like mustangs that are hot to the touch! If you think you can manage a wildfire lol, then by all means!

Green Bull-Class dragons are even harder than the last two to control, given how...large and in charge they are. It takes a strong force of both presence and will in a rider to get one to heed them. And Phistus has both in spades! But if you have even half the will and ferocity that he does, you might just work well with a Bull! Just don't get the horns!

Blue Energy-Class dragons are as precise and quick as lightning, hence their class' logo! Due to their sheer skill and energy, they flourish under a master rider, but are such excellent spirits they can all but shepherd a newbie. So really, whether you are green or veteran, you could mesh well with an Energy. But do you have the discipline and precision to really release both of your powers?

Purple Pack-Class dragons are very much social creatures, and are always meant to be in a pack with others. They prefer their rider to be the boss, but as long as they are in a group, they are just fine. I do not believe that Packs are very picky about their riders, but you must be one who works well with a team; either as its leader, or as a mighty pack member.

Brown Earth-Class dragons are the most willful of all the dragons, and just as difficult to control as you'd expect. If they fully agree with you, nothing will stand in your way. But if they don't...well! Their crew isn't called Will of the Dragon for nothing! Despite the legendary stoicism of their riders, Earths themselves can get really testy and judgmental if they've been crossed. So ask yourself, can you work with the mountain?

Don't take an Orange Control-Class dragon's word for it unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE they're not gonna use you as a puppet, lol. Cuz it is in their culture to take advantage of humans. But hey! If there is a good-hearted Control who would rather work with you than enslave you, then if the dragon seems companionable enough, don't let me stop you!

Light Green Scavenger-Class dragons are hard to find and harder to keep an eye on. They're usually the doormat dragons, easily manipulated by fear or force to do others' bidding. They're quiet, sneaky, quick, and resourceful; they'll likely be able to help you with anything! But keep them safe and well-cared for. And hopefully you're not the kind of person who'd take advantage of them, cuz that's the difference between Controls and Scavengers; the former will enslave you, the latter could all too easily be enslaved.

Light Blue Nautilus-Class dragons are the hardest to pin down, and thus are likely to be the hardest to handle! They are very versatile and all-terrain, but they themselves are just as wily. You have to be on your toes at all times with these dragons, and never let your guard down. They're ornery little fishy buggers! Like playing with a dolphin and not realizing it's tricked you into falling into its pool! They're like Psi-Classes that way, BUT EVEN ORNIER AND HARDER TO HANDLE.

Don't find a Grey Bone-Class dragon, they're not in a good place right now. =^w^=

White Sky-Class dragons...oh, where to begin...you think you can handle a living biplane? A giant flying squirrel that is permanently on the zoomies? A living BMX bike that ways several hundred pounds? Would you be willing and able to parkour with one and keep up? Do you look down from a tall place and feel no fear? ...good! Maybe a Sky is just the right match for you!

Appreciate A Dragon Day ~ Dragon Booster: Star-Class Dragons

I'm going through my asks cuz I shared Dragon Booster with some peeps who didn't know about it, and getting them interested in it made me revisit this blog, lol.

And...YOU!!! I LIKE YOU!!!

That all depends on how the mutations and breeding involved with the process looked back in the day, of course. But presumably, so early on there wouldn't be much variation. After all! The Bone-Class itself looks remarkably similar to the Star-Class. Especially where the overall body-structure is regarded and ESPECIALLY IN THE FACE.

Of course, no one can match Beau's legendary chin. But even if you compare Libris to the two Star-Class mutts we see, they're pretty close too. Beyond the bony exo-skeleton, the outward pressing ridges and far-reached back of the skull are the two most major parts of what makes Libris unique. And likely, through him, other Bone-Class dragons we haven't seen before.

And since the Bone-Class is the most untouched of all the classes over history, it tracks that they would retain the most similarities to the original class. And if you looked hard enough among the others, you could still find plenty of parallels between them all! Like the chins on the Scavengers, Earths, and Bulls, or the quad forms of the Psi and Energy and Sky. The Magma and Control classes may be the farthest ones, with the Scavengers being close behind. But it makes sense that the bipedal classes would be the most diverged from the Stars, with the hooved Bulls and Earths only just maintaining what similarities they still possess.

...but I digress!

Burryndoh, a Star-Class mutt who was born blind. His dominant draconium influences are Light Blue, Brown, and Blue. He’s got very faint gold in him, stronger than most dragons have but still not quite enough to make a major difference. Burryndoh is a big sweet heart, who doesn’t care that he’s an undesired blind dragon. He’s still strong, fast, and more courageous than you’d expect a blind dragon to be.

Btw guys, recently I started college class (about dracking time, took me long enough =P), and one of my classes is an Illustration class for a Graphic Design AA. We recently finished our project of making a minimum of 9 Icons. We each picked a theme, and I of course decided on dragons. But a part of me felt compelled to not just do dragons...but do Dragon Booster dragons.

I didn’t have time to do one for every color, but I did as many as I could. As you can tell, I dabbled a little in different styles of icons, too. =P

The little Prophet there at the bottom is my favorite. I was trying to try making smiles with the Keeper and the Prophet, since as you can see, most of the icons don’t have much in terms of expressions. But I think I got the Prophet Smile the best, he looks so cute and cheeky, I wuv him. I’m also really proud of how I did his icon period, making the circle orange and his head come from it, and the center of the circle is pink colored, with those lines over his head to give the idea of the exposed brain.

The Auxiliary Characters

SPECIAL TRIVIA: since Beau is named after a legendary horse—specifically Bucephalus, the horse of Alexander the Great—I decided to keep that trend with these two. Alsvythrr is named for Alsviðr, one of the horses that pulls Sol’s chariot in Norse Mythology. Shahrach is named after Šarac, the talking piebald horse of Prince Marko in Serbian legend. Both of their spellings are my attempts at being as phonetic as possible, as I tried to find those names’ pronunciations, hehehehe. P.S. I realized too late that I made them both pure golds, when I’d wanted to make them mutts like those two Stars we know. But eh, I’d already colored these two gold like that, and honestly they look too fancy to be regular dragons anyhow. =P I’ll have to make proper Star Mutts later. X3

Gold Star-Class Dragons: Alsvythrr and Shahrach

Alsvythrr is an ancient dragon, one of the few Gold Star-Classes from the days before the dragons were re-bred. He was a sunny, bright fellow, and watched over a group of humans that he loved dearly. None of them were Priests or anything of the like, they were simply good people whom Alsvythrr adored. They rode with him with their own dragons, and for a time, everything was well. One tranquil, starry night out in the wilds, the group made camp and was resting. The lands had been peaceful for a long time now, following the recovery from the war. It was hoped that this peace would last for much longer yet, but...it was not to be. A group of people and newly dragon who’d been bred away from gold again came upon them, and Alsvythrr tried his best to save his people. But they perished—defending him, no less. In his sorrow and rage, Alsvythrr burned the men with the force of his mag energy, and injured the dragons before he scared them off. Now, the wise but jaded gold wanders the borders of the Wastelands. He wants so badly to abandon Dragon-City, which he knows to be the epicenter of the blasted re-breeding. But he senses something amiss within the canyon...and awaits a sign that he’s needed for...something...
