So my thread about my Playable Dragon Character using the April Fools material from 2008 received some nice attention and helped me make something that I thought would work well in a 400 BP environment. Recently I've gotten the chance to play such a character... but in a 900 Karma environment using the old karmagen rules, as my GM didn't want to use the new ones.

This resulted in my character being fairly strong since I didn't have to pay for my metatype (Eastern Dragon, 325 BP).

So in an effort to dump a bunch of karma elsewhere and to make the character more interesting I invested a large chunk into talislegging.

Right now the character has the following:

Survival 3 (For finding ingredients)
Zoology 3 (For finding ingredients)
Botany 3 (For finding ingredients)
Metallurgy 3 (For finding ingredients)
Geology 3 (For finding ingredients)
Artisan 3 (For making Purty foci)


Arcana 6 (Focus Design)
Enchanting 6 (Artificing)

A rented Talislegger shop (Security 4, Necessities 4, Neighborhood 2)

A group contact (My Customers, 3/2, 100-1000 Members, Most have Magical Talent)

And finally, the Enchanting Shop, and Talislegger Kit tools.

Im looking for some tips, tricks, and advice to make her business flourish. I've taken the Day Job quality (10 hours a week), and a somewhat modified Dependant quality (live in boyfriend/business partner) along with In Debt (investors in the business, they want to see cash returns etcetera).

Since she is a dragon she can use her nail clippings & scales etc as virgin telesma but obviously that'll create a material link to her and as such isn't a viable option for marketing. Oh, things she makes for herself will probably be made with suchlike but she'd have to be offered an outstanding sum to use them for anybody else.

Flourish? Day job quality? By RAW, income is pretty much fixed, save for the Fame quality.
Interesting idea, but you're going to have to talk to your GM about advancing it.
I'd say working on improving the contact (nice idea there) and working to improve the shop lifestyle's neighbourhood would be the ways to go.
That said, be wary to not cross into carjacking>shadowrunning->profit area, unless your game allows for it.

On a sidenote; a great dragon with a boyfriend? How does that... Nevermind, I don't want to know.

Yes, we decided that average materials would be covered by the income provided by Day Job quality, but custom made things that cost karma to create (foci etc) would provide a nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) bonus.

Increasing the neighborhood of the talismonger shop is also a good idea, I think I'll be putting more into that, and improving the contact as well.

As for Great Dragon with a Boyfriend, well, not a great dragon, just a dragon, and the Boyfriend is a Drake Magician.

Just as dragons are a girl's best friend, girl dragons are a guy's wet dream. ;P

I figured that an adult dragon would still be somewhat brash and want to be challenged, they are predators after all not sheep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) .

Reminds me of this journal.
"I am so tired of this liquid diet that I've cried almost three nights in a row. [...] So, because I am so desperate to eat, I have actually decided on my own volition to draw a vore piece of [my dragon eating your character]."
