Pern Dragon Colors

[farfalla]

Blue is second best. They’re just cute.

[Roz]

I’m gonna pick bronze because I don’t think anyone has yet and apparently I’m not allowed to have a bronze so FUCK THAT, I do what I want.

how very aquarius

[helvetica]

@hellfrog please consider doing a thread where you guess people’s signs and tell vague fortunes

[Pavel]

@helvetica It’ll just be the same fortune for everyone.

[helvetica]

@Pavel I don’t think a frog from hell would automatically prophesize that people are going to hell

[Herja]

Gold because shiny and also I am on my queen character arc.

[Meg]

Gold. Same reasons as Herja.

[crawfish]

I read the books but never RPed. I feel like I missed out.

[crawfish]

Also green.

[IoleRae]

green green green, always a green, I played so many greens

Was going to get a gold once, quit the game like 3 weeks before it happened /shakesfist

If I played pern NOW…

either a non-rider (prolly a Harper) or…

Another green. Because duck responsibility and duck the weirdass popularity contests around gold, no thanks.

[Tori]

I never played a greenrider so I think I would love to try that experience

[dvoraen]

I just want a tl;dr of what dragon colors and styles mean, since I haven’t read any Pern books.

@dvoraen
Gold (F) - only women riders. Female leaders.
Bronze (M) - only men. Male leaders.
Brown (M) - only men in the books, any in games.
Blue (M) - only men in the books, any in games.
Green (F) - was only men in the books, then some women. Any in games.

Gold is biggest, down in order through green. In the books, that’s kind of the order of importance, too. Not in games, though.

Only Gold lay eggs, but Green and Gold both have mating flights regularly.

There isn’t really any technical difference between them as far as personality but there are a lot of stereotypes.

You can only have one. Which color do you play and why.

somebody else with a puppy name

That might’ve been me (PuppyBreath)! I’d posted about my post-apoc Pern idea, but I gave up on it because of, uh, real virus things happening. And never came up with another reason for post-apoc.

As for dragon color, usually bronze or green depending on if I want to be macho queer or chaos gay.

Oh so I guess I chose right in just choosing my favorite color

[KarmaBum]

@tsar I love Murderface.

[tsar]

@KarmaBum He was definitely a thing that I regretted having to leave behind.
