What is a Kinder Dragon?
A Kinder Dragon is unlike any species found on earth. In fact, they don't even live on earth, and are completely undiscovered by humans. Kinder Dragons, which are also known simply as "Kinders", do not receive energy from other animals through predation, nor do they receive energy from their planet's sun. Rather, they perform a process called chemosynthesis by using hydrogen sulfide found in volcanic gas. In a sense, they feed off of volcanoes. Males will hold head butting contests in order to get the best nesting spots. Prime nesting spots hold the right amount of volcanic gas, oxygen, and safety from volcanic eruptions.
Kinders are unique in appearance, as they have two layers of skin. Their bottom-most layer, or underskin, is what they are born with. Though it is rather tender, it is brightly colored and moves fluidly with the pumping of their blood. The second layer develops over time and is known as the overskin. It is dark gray in color and is thick and protective. Their markings are places where the overskin failed to grow, and thus where the underskin shows through. Kinders also have rocky spinal growths known as crags. No two Kinders have the same crag shape.

Admins hold the responsibilities of both an artist and a moderator -- that is, making designs as well as making sure the species runs smoothly. They make the species-wide decisions and are the head honchos. Admins hold the final decision in disputes that moderators or artists cannot handle.
Artists create designs for Kinder Dragons and post them as adoptables. They decide what sort of adoptable-contest they want to hold for their design. They hold the right to reject an applicant that enters for their design so long as there is a fair and just reason. Artists should not be expected to settle disputes on threads, unless the dispute is on their design thread and they desire to handle it themselves(as opposed to a moderator).
Moderators are responsible for making all of the Kinder-related threads run smoothly. They are to be respected and listened to; any decision they make regarding disputes should be followed by any of the members involved. They can answer any questions regarding the species or the rules.
Archivists take record of every Kinder Dragon adopted out. They note in the Archives who each Kinder belongs to, and take note of which Kinders are mates in the Mate Archives.
