Those dragons that return to the station are given free counseling, and those with a predisposition to bonding are urged to try to do so again, with the support and screening that the Ministry of Draconic Relations to help them. Some dragons don't naturally bond, but return to the station anyways. New caretakers are often searched for, for young dragons, while non-bonded companions are sought for mature ones. In any case, a rigorous screening process is put in place to match these dragons with prospective bonders, to avoid another unhappy experience.

Abandoned Adoption Rules

• Visit the Star City Abandoned Thread if you see a dragon you like, and check to see whether or not it has been claimed. If it hasn't been claimed, I will enter your name in a draw to claim it. This is done so that if more then one person wants a dragon, nobody has to write a story in vain.
• If your name is picked, read the following rules to submit a candidate or sponsor. You may put your name in for more than one dragon--or for all of them, if you feel that you could write for all of them!
  1. You must have a page for your candidate/sponsor--read the candidate rules for further information.
  2. You must write a story for your candidate/sponsor, and at least somewhere in your story the character must be interacting with the dragon to be eligible. Giving me reason to expect that you will use the dragon in the future (either in further story, or to breed, or to sponsor, etc.) will make me more likely to give you the dragon. If your story doesn't include the above criteria I will ask you to modify it, and if you can't do that in a timely manner I will pass your claim on to the next interested person.
• Once you receive rights to the abandoned dragon (images and stats), you have two weeks to page both young and adult images. Failure to do so will mean that the dragon stays up on the abandoned page, and the attempted-bonding will never have happened. You will not be able to adopt from the abandoned page again, and you will be put on a regular candidate blacklist for two months.

Abandoned Adoption Form

The Dragons

Dragon Rider Pairs

Since these dragons are special cases, the above rules do not quite apply. You don't have to write an entirely new story to pick them up if you choose to adopt both rider and dragon--you only need to re-page them, and then you can play with them however you like.

If you only want the dragon, and would rather not have the rider, you need to write me a story about how the rider and dragon became separated, the more detailed the better! In addition to that, you'll need your new bonder/sponsor to come into the story in order to pick up the dragon. I will keep the humanoid portion of the rider/dragon pairing, and keep them available for you if you happen to have a giveaway dragon who'd like a bond, but you can't think one up yourself. That is, unless I choose to keep them for myself!

Bond: Ranaki Ukten
Gender: Male
Species: Mythicaelan Human
Age: 21
Cyborware: Metal Armour (elaborate plating on body, primarily on arms, chest, and face)
Appearance: He's tall but overweight, lending him a powerful presence. Though not one to win any beauty awards, he does have a certain look that is appealing if one were to get to know him better. His clothing choices are generally drab and the Caretaker uniform is certainly a refreshing change.
Personality: He tries so hard to fit in, but his normally shy nature seems to prevent him from making many friends. When he does go out on a limb, though, he goes at it with all his heart and will do his best to win wherever he can. Sometimes he tries too hard ... but that won't deter him.

Bond: Yenya Litei
Gender: Female
Species: Mythicaelan Human
Age: 19
Cyborware: Feline Augmentation (furry ear extensions, feline tail, face modification, and fur around wrists and ankles)
Appearance: She'd be pretty if she didn't treat herself like trash. Long blond hair, blue eyes, and pleasantly tanned skin were genetic gifts, of a sort, and her lithe body is rather toned and muscular. She's graceful and able to wear just about anything and make it look good. Even in the Caretaker uniform, Yenya stands out.
Personality: There is a single word to describe Yenya: Whorish. She's often chasing after some male or another and does a miserable job of trying to hide it. More often than not, she's not acting as a Caretaker and is usually off with whatever boyfriend suits her mood. However, it's not known why she was chosen to go to Star City ... and perhaps the real reasons will become clear after the hatchings.

Bond: Cyxyr
Gender: Male
Species: Half-Mythicalaen Dragon, Subspecies Armor (Metal x Spirit)
Age: 4 (16, Human Equivalent)
Height: 6'9"
Abilities: Metal-based Majyck [greatest], Protection Majyck [lesser], Defense Majyck [lesser], Dispel Majyck [least]
Majyck Rating: 4
Majyck Effects: When he uses his powers, those within his range usually feel a sensation of protective steel, smell the aroma of oiled metal, hear the muted clanging of metal on metal, and catch glimpses of soft metallic light.
Appearance: He seems to be constructed of a suit of armor, forged of a mythical and mysterious metal that is found on Mythicalae. Black Mythael comprises the armour-like plates on his body, glyphs of silver occasionally skittering across them when the light shines on him. Although the spiky armour appears removable, it is not; plates can be lifted for cleaning beneath, but his scales have developed into the odd protection and cannot actually be removed. His head is thick and heavy, with a visible 'hinge' at the jaw. His eyes are like burning orbs of fire within the deep sockets of his head, and his breath often appears as smoke or steam as it exits his nostrils and mouth. His neck appears segmented, with a row of neckridges running down it, one per segment. Vestigial wings that resemble melting metal run down his back, the highest point at his shoulders and slowly fading down until they are no longer attached to his body; these 'wings' form a split cloak that can be folded back. His tail is long and resembles his neck, with the ridges apparently continuing between his 'wings'. The ridges culminate in a plate-like blade at the end of his tail, used more as a shield than as a weapon.
Personality: Whether by choice or circumstance, he seems to be the silent warrior-type that ends up in some very bizarre situations. Having not spoken a word since naming himself in the volcanic caldera of his birth, he works to help those in need ... be they good or evil. A mercenary in the most unusual sense, he will take money when the whim strikes, or he may do his services without payment at all. It's not like he needs the money to survive; he's a half-dragon, and he knows instinctually how to live off of the land. There may be method to his madness ... or his madness might just be making a show of things; it's difficult to say.

Bond: F'zo (Farazo)
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 20
Height: 5' 8"
Craft: Healer/Artist (Jr. Journeyman)
Personality: He doesn't handle stupidity or rash behaviour in others ... even when he, on occasion, falls victim to the same desires. Though he deals with dragons and dragon-kin on a daily basis in some way, shape, or form, he has never really befriended any of them. On the other hand, he finds it difficult to view them as anything less than saviours and feels a deep sense of awe -- and fear -- in the presence of the dragons. He is far more gentle with dragon-kin than he is with humans, probably owing to his feelings toward their larger cousins. His drawings of them have proven invaluable in more than a few situations where bones needed to be set or limbs pulled back into place.

Bond: Sanoki
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 27
Height: 5' 8"
Craft: Tailor (Journeyman)
Personality: Having been touched by the Sisters (Kismeth, Zemynath, and Tiath), she is able to hear (and, consequently, speak to) all dragons, can sense their presence no matter where they are, and is also able to 'see' much the way that a dragon might, as if everything is seen through a many faceted prism that focuses into specific images and colours, but leaves an odd, rainbow 'aura' around everything she's not focusing directly on. She also thinks she's crazy, something which everyone is trying to assure her is not the case. In more mundane situations, she's quite handy with a needle and thread, although she may not pick up embroidering again any time soon.

Bond: Ildech
Gender: Female
Species: Half-Mythicalaen Dragon, Subspecies Shield (Metal x Spirit)
Age: 4 (16, Human Equivalent)
Height: 6' 10"
Abilities: Defense-based Majyck [greatest], Barrier Majyck [lesser], Enchantment Majyck [lesser], Dispel Majyck [least]
Majyck Rating: 4
Majyck Effects: When she uses her powers, those within her range usually see a subtle metallic glow, hear the clang of metal on metal, feel a cold, metallic sensation on the skin, and have a coppery taste in their mouth.
Appearance: Bright platinum scaling covers her body, the formation of the plates being rather unusual but also being the namesake of her kind. It starts at her head, the scales of her nose fusing into a single plate that extends over her muzzle and eyeridges, culminating in a flat, plate-like head crest that extends almost a foot beyond her head. Her neck has a segmented appearance, leading into another broad plate that covers her chest and smaller plates that cover her shoulders. Her body is also segmented in appearance, allowing free movement. A set of mechanical, yet useless, wings are folded to her back, resembling a beetle's wing-covers in design; they are moved only to be cleaned. Her limbs appear to be solid and cylindrical, with oddly shaped scales on the shins and forearms. Her tail is segmented as well, ending in a broad, flat shield-plate that is razor-edged.
Personality: She is hired on as a guardian for high-class individuals and has made a name for herself among certain circles of nobility. Her prowess has earned her the highest respect and she can often be seen attending important events, even when not in the employ of a noble. While she is well-known, she is remarkably poor; any money she earns goes to the family that took her in when she fled the volcano of her birth. They have lived well because of their patron and she would do anything to ensure their safety. She speaks little, letting her actions convey her feelings.
