kalon name;;
Tion
what do they collect;;
Tion is a friendly kalon.He lives somewhere really close to the ocean, and likes to go on
the beach and collect seashells (yes, a seashell collector) He finds them on the seafront
or if he feels a bit 'dangerous' in a certain day, caves would be another place to search
in for misguided seashells. But, he is not going here alone. His friends are helping him
to find them(the seashells), and at the same time having fun and listening to the oceans
sounds. The reason he collects them is that he likes to compare the form and color of
each seashell he finds and add them to his collections, and the 'common' ones he finds,
which are the leftovers, are used to create necklaces for his friends as a thanks for being
with him on every adventure of searching.

kalon name;; ebony
what do they collect;; It's not so much a hobby as it is a necessity. I didn't chose to be the way I am with this... collection of mine, it's simply a part of my job. I'm a merchant of sorts, you see-- I don't travel or anything of the sort, rather I'm content in my current location-- and my goods are completely legal, might I add. So, one could say my status as a merchant is almost uncanny for this world we inhabit... now a days it seems you can't often trust anyone. However, as I was saying... I am indeed a merchant, a seller of wares if you will. I collect and sell weaponry-- however I assure you, I keep the real gems for myself. I've developed such an eye for weapons, as you can imagine, that it's truly hard for me to part with an exquisite piece. Again, this isn't how I planned my life would be-- when I was young I collected stones, stickers-- stamps, even, but I never fathomed I'd become an infamous weapons dealer, known for possessing some of the most dangerous and refined weapons ever created. As I said, however, I keep the best for myself as well as self-defense-- that title sounds so flashy, it'd be a real shame to get rid of my favorites now... after all it'd tack off a lot of my appeal. It's a huge business ploy to one extent-- if I have the best things, even if I won't sell them, doesn't that speak volumes for the quality of my wares? I certainly believe it does. All things considered, I've developed a liking for my work and my wares which bodes me to collect the finest weaponry I come into possession of-- so, that's what I collect, in short. [ 298 / 500 ]

kalon name;; Ezeria
what do they collect;;
Have you ever really looked at buttons? I don't mean the kinds you pin on your backpack, not the 5-for-5 Hot Topic off-air cartoon and emo band buttons. No, I mean the simpler kind. The buttons that shirt companies send along another of, the just-in-case kind of buttons. The kind of buttons with function, with purpose. The kinds with two holes, four holes, even those old-lady ornamental buttons with just one loop on the back - the kind that hang down if they aren't stuck through the heavy fabric of the other side of the shirt, jacket, or dress, even.

Every button has a story, you know. It's silly, sometimes, but you want to know how many I find that look alike? Trust me, it's not many. Every button came from somewhere it was once important, maybe just as a spare. Maybe it was a first date that went down the drain, maybe it was an average summer afternoon snag that sent it to the pavement to find another home. Look, anyway, you can't ever know the story of a button. It might have been anyone's, from anywhere. Anybody can take it, and anybody can give it a new purpose. But I like to hoard 'em up, you know. I've got quite the stash. I think the point is, when you get enough buttons, you've got enough stories going to fill a library. And when you're feeling down, just run your hands through 'em. Through the stories of a hundred, two hundred, three hundred lives. 'Cause every button belonged to somebody, but every somebody has a story and a thousand connections too.

So that's what I collect. Buttons, mostly. But I kinda collect stories, too.

kalon name;; Ryker
what do they collect;; He's quite the fisherman but that's not what he collects. Ryker has a huge ego about his own scale markings and how colorful he is. The only thing he sees as beautiful as him is fish scales. While Ryker recieves most of his earnings from the fish he catches, it's the fish scales he's more interested in. Sone would say he does it out of courtesy, others say out of simple jealousy. Regardless, he loves to make things out of them. Necklaces, sculptures, you name it. His favorite has to be having them in a huge pile to lay on or even using body glue to apply them to his face and chest. Just like a real dragon. Which he totally isn't in denial about being.

kalon name;;
Vivacus
what do they collect;;
Vivacus has always had a weird obsession. An obsession of time. This lovely dragon has spent forever in this world, and can't seem to grasp why everyone tells him that time is precious and limited. The tick, tock of every clock has become a painful reminder of why he is still here. Someone somewhere isn't ready for him to move on. In order to grasp that each moment is fleeting, Vivacus began collecting clocks. Anything and everything from the rickety grandfather clock that chimes every half hour, down to the simplest old pocket watch of a war veteran. Maybe one day each tick will bring him closer to what he is meant to do.

kalon name;; Monroe
what do they collect;;

They like to collectpogs. Hilariously, they really got into the game at around age ten, and ten years later they're still very much into it. They bought all those booster pack things that hade the more standard playing pogs in them, but some of the original ones- the solid metal pog caps as opposed to the modern cardboard with staple attached. Such is the nature of a collector. His personal favorites are ones with puns on them or with the poglodyte on them. But there's just something about the general cheesiness of the 90s style art pogs have that Monroe adores and loves to look back on.

Apart from pogs, another essential item for the game is a slammer. While in competition, full metal ones are banned, Monroe owns a few, as well as plastic and rubber ones. Some of his favorites are his metal ones, and he has one that has an oxidized sheen on the metal, making it shine similarly to his own colors.

It's 2017 and this guy likes to play the most 90s game ever. He owns over a thousand pogs. Please help him.
