what are hardragons? wrote:hardragons (lepus draconeus) are a hybrid between
hares, canines, newts and rams, created in labs in east asia. originally created to be designer
pets, the tiny creatures are omnivorous, sexless animals are said to have become semi-wild after a
ferrel (group) of hardragons escaped a lab and ran into the wild, soon allowing hare instincts to kick
in and becoming the widely-spread creatures they are known as today.
hardragons are also known as "pocket dragons" or "palm hares" due to their minuscule size; they
are between six and ten inches long and do not tend to grow much larger.
although they are omnivorous, hardragons tend to prefer fruit over all other foods, although will
eat most things. they can eat meat, but only in small amounts, as otherwise they will get stomachaches.

hardragons live in family groups called ferrels. like hares, they live above ground rather than in
a burrow like rabbits. family groups tend to be large and sprawling, often containing many members
and many courting pairs. within a territory there will usually be up to five ferrels at once.
ferrels tend to be centered around family; unlike most species, hardragons do not have a dominant
sex due to them being sexless; they live in pure equality, with no prejudice over one another due to
physical traits.

although they are more common in the wild, hardragons are widely kept as pets as well, and can be
bred via being taken to one of the hardragon labs in most large cities near hardragon territories.
due to their calm and docile nature, they are easily domesticated and can be tempted with small
pieces of food and pats if you're gentle enough. they are not easy to trust, however, but once
you end up taming one, it's certainly worth it!


welcome to hardragon labratories, i'll be your guide!
what's that..? you want to breed your hardragons?
well, follow me then!!

a hardragon's main fault is their inability to naturally breed; due to them being sexless, they cannot mate sexually, however can develop romantic relationships with both hardragons and individuals of other species.

due to them not being able to sexually breed, heterosexual hardragons are less common than homosexual hardragons, although they do exist. due to them being unnable to sexually breed, they have no need to have sexual desires and are almost always asexual.

the unique way of hardragons breeding is their dna being spliced by scientists in hardragon labs, inc. to create a new, baby hardragon that is a mixture of their parents. we're not too sure how they do it (it's too science-y for our puny minds to comprehend) but as long as the babies are healthy and safe, we don't care!

the most common kinds of relationships, in order;

✿ asexual/aromantic

✿ homosexual

✿ polygamous

✿ heterosexual

✿ bisexual/pansexual/polysexual

however, your hardragons have the ability to be any sexuality you desire!


ready to breed? alright, right here then..

breeding rules wrote:
    ✿ only adults can breed. the only exception to this rule is if your hardragon is an adult but is still on teen lines (due to not being grown)
    ✿ it takes 1 month for a hardragon to grow from baby to teen to adult, and between these periods you cannot mate your hardragons, unless you have permission from me or another artist
    ✿ your hardragons must have been owned for at least 2 weeks, and have been mates for at least 1 week, to be eligible to breed
    ✿ hardragons have a cooldown period of 1 week between each breeding
    ✿ hardragons can have up to 5 litters
    ✿ hardragons have up to 3 kits per litter, however using special potions or items can allow for more babies per litter
    ✿ polygamous couples can breed like normal couples, however their kits are known to have.. strange attributes..
    ✿ if twins are bred, then you may only keep one if you own all parents involved; the other must go to either the other owner or be adopted out/gifted away
    ✿ hardragons of any sexuality/gender identity etc. can breed regardless of these traits
    ✿ if your hardragon has been mated previously to another but has since broken up, you have as many times as they have left; for example if you have one hardragon that has bred once and one hardragon that has bred twice, they only have 3 breedings left

breeding rules for artists wrote:
    ✿ all artists must be fair and unprejudiced when creating litters; this means if you are not comfortable with same gender relationships then you are not allowed to take those breedings, as well as not being able to take your own
    ✿ all artists will create their own covers for their slots, and will maintain their own slots on their page
    ✿ all artists must post when their slots are fully open directly onto the thread
    ✿ must use the rolling system correctly and fairly

      rolling system wrote:here at hardragons, artists use a rolling system to ensure that there isn't any cases of favoritism or anybody taking advantage of their nursery artist position by giving others more or less edits than normal. the edits are done by rolling a 6-sided dice for numbers

      1 to 3 = 1 kits per litter
      3 - 5 = 2 kits per litter
      6 = 3 kits per litter

      if both parents have the same edits (i.e both have hair edits, glowy paws, black eye whites) then all or most kits will inherit that edit. if not, the following rolling system, this time with a 10-sided dice, will be used

      1 or 5 if 1 parent has an edit; one inherits it
      6 or 9 if 1 parent has an edit; both inherit it
      2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10 if 1 parent has an edit; neither inherit it

      1, 3, 5, 9 = no edits
      2, 4, 6 = inheriting a random lower-tier edit (hair tuft, stunted growth, snaggletooth etc.)
      7, 8 = inheriting a random mid-tier edit (full hair edit, teeth edits, glowing eyes etc.)
      10 = inheriting a random high-tier/god-tier edit (long hair edit, powers, custom lines etc.)

      all couples have equal chances of getting rare edits, however polygamous couples are known to have different odds, due to there being more genes to "mess" with

      2, 4, 8 = random lower-tier edit
      3, 5, 9 = random mid-tier edit
      1, 6 = random high-tier/god-tier edit
      10 = choice of any 3 edits from each tier (one of each or 3 of one type)

    ✿ artists are expected to check forms in case of invalidity before accepting any
    ✿ artists are also expected to answer questions asked on the thread or fanclub towards the nursery
