Darlene for Dragontouched- discussion only

I'm gonna pick out the bits that I think are actually relevant to help with that then.

Brass Dragons from Forgotten Realms wiki:

They loved to talk, to the exclusion of most else. They loved to engage friends and foes alike in hours of long-winded conversation.
Brass dragons very rarely engaged in combat, preferring to talk rather than fight.

They talked constantly about anything and everything, and they would talk to anybody: friends, family, enemies and small creatures that could not talk back, or even to itself if nobody else was near.

@Prof-Misclick said in Applications:

Application -lite-

For Subraces this means we'd like to know how being descended from a being like a celestial/elemental/dragon influences your actions/character and how you will represent the subrace as more than a human with with glowy eyes for example.

How the subrace influences their actions:

her nature as a brass dragon will make her talkative.
Brass Dragons being such talkative and sociable creatures-some of this personality trait is within the character, and so, they will attempt to find allies, and "test" them.
acting as an information conduit within the city.
Due to the Brass dragon nature however... they may not be able to help themselves talking to even the most evil ones they find, and potentially spilling information that perhaps would have been better kept to themselves...

Stuff they will do which is based on this:

attempt to find allies, and "test" them -learn their personalities and if they are a potential ally or threat - as well, they will offer any evil magical items (which they will attempt to collect) to find out if other characters have alterior motives.

Actively seek out magical artifacts on quests/exploration/etc, and then use this as ways to test people's true character kinda gathering a weird magical artifact horde.

They will attempt to find the most populous/useful group of good aligned characters, and keep them up to date with regular (potentially -too- regular... she is very talkative..) updates on various adventurers, acting as an information conduit within the city.

Become a sort of "spy" for the good guys but -

Due to the Brass dragon nature however... they may not be able to help themselves talking to even the most evil ones they find, and potentially spilling information that perhaps would have been better kept to themselves... (not a stretch for me as a player really)

Also "Accidentally" be a spy for the bad guys too, potentially sparking conflicts, or spreading plot information that might otherwise be kept behind closed doors/within cliques.

She would like to join a (player) faction, finding the major factions within the city too oppressive with their rules and restrictions, and concrete plans, wants and needs (The CG part of her in play) - And once within the group, to stay there so long as it feels like a new family - moving on if they ever feel it has lost it's lustre.

Keeps them out of major DM factions, while being active within the playerbase and possibly joining new groups as time passes by (darlene tends to have long lasting characters)

Sure. It’s just an ECL 1 race.

Puffy

Sure, but make sure they don't name them something silly.

If she was found as an infant, and raised by human parents, I doubt she'd have a name like this (not even sure what language this is supposed to be or what it means.

I agree with the above. I’d not even give her the subrace but Zool wore a decent lite app that meets the requirements so I’ve no choice. If she’s done with Raposa, time to nerf the reptile theme.

Matriarch

Darlene being Darlene, it means Fox Fox.

If you ever wonder... pretty much most if not all her characters are named fox.

Look, I'm tired of arguing over a dumb thing, but if we're going to have standards, we need to enforce them. Otherwise, why have them?

Just let her make the damned foxdragon already

I agree.

The app meets the standards though.
(The name is debatable because those standards haven't been breached, technically, but may come under "DM discretion to cover things we can't possibly put into the naming rules")

I told them they are approved, but need to use a different name.
