No nipples. Those are scale piercings.

QUOTE (Ancient History @ Jun 1 2009, 04:21 PM)  No nipples. Those are scale piercings. Pretty much what I thought. I have a (likely illegal) pdf (around somewhere) that's got a higher resolution picture than that. Even then it's still pretty much just a scale piercing in the location that on a human translates to the breast. You wouldn't find any nipples on a goat there.

Hm, thanks. Couldn't think of any other than The Sea Dragon, though I should have remembered Mujaji.
Zacaultipan is from? |

You know I wrote a slash fiction on Ryumyo and Lung. I hope you are happy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
Why do I have this feeling that I am skating on very thin ice. |

Their all mentioned in Dragons of the Six World. Zacaultipán is mentioned in her brothers Dzitbalchéns write-up.

Huh... only one in my list who isn't a great is Zacaultipán |

Of course, you can't exactly lift a dragon's tale and know what gender it is, so assigning any gender to any dragon is pretty much a guess. Oh, you can rely on what they refer to themselves as, but who trusts those scaly barstards?

Perhaps like Dwarves in the Discworld series are dragons in Shadowrun, this would make dragons a one gender race.

Perhaps dragons have evolved past the need for gender. Or they willfully adjust genders at certain life stages, like the Culture of Iain M. Banks epic sci-fi series. Greats have their metahuman avatars but they're completely self-chosen. If Ghostwalker wanted to portray himself as female who would stop him?

To keep working at derailing the thread from tropes here, is there a reason The Sea Dragon doesn't have a name? Lack of communication or some other reason?
Just curious. I normally blithely ignore most of this kind of nitpickery of the SR background, but this one little mote piques my interest... |

You do realize that posting slash is against forum policy, even if it is on Shadowrun.

Wow, the first line alone was enough to make me click off of it. Stupid work and the whole NSFW thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The Sea Dragon gets her name because no one knows if she has a "true" dragon name. In SR canon, she's a myth; no one has confirmed that she even exists, there's just the rumors between she and Eliohan(?). That's why I didn't count her when I was asking about female dragons - how many open females are out there? Hestaby, Mujaji, Feurschwing's mate (who's dead now). I own a copy of DotW, but they're packed in storage right now, so names escape me. (Chrys: good job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) |

QUOTE (ravensmuse @ Jun 2 2009, 02:03 PM) (Chrys: good job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) Not sure if I agree with you. I just wrote it as a wank piece, quite frankly it could have been any two dragons. I did not go back and change anything. To be honest, I don't even remember what I wrote in the first paragraph. It's not fangirl slash since that would have gone on for pages about the eyes, the scales, the detail of the tail ridge and about it being consensual and consummational and how they are secretly had a crush on each other, instead of well... What it is. Maybe female dragons are simply omi-polones. -Chrysalis |

Technically, in Discworld, Dwarves are male and female, but they all act and look the same with their beards and several layers of leather and other armor. Starting a relationship and finding out who is what takes years to decades. And then there's STILL the possibility of the wedding night being kinda awkward if the sets don't match. |

I took one look at the first half of the first sentence, went, "that's not safe for work!" and clicked the window off. More detailed analysis later. |

There's a wonderful quote along the lines of: "Most of dwarf courtship is the matter of delicately finding out out exactly what sex the other dwarf is under all that chainmail and beard." |
