Dergons reaching maturity often realize that doing something impressive will attract other dergons!
Aerial Displays are the traditional way a dergon announces themselves as open to finding partners. Not all still do this, as it's semi-instinctual, but enough do that it's considered a rite of passage!
Please make sure your dergon is updated to the new genetics before submitting them for an Aerial Display! It's ok if you forget, but admins will ask you to clarify any base or marking choices needed to update before processing your Display!
Colored Fullbody, background, featuring at least one onlooker
600 words, featuring at least one onlooker (+ 200 per additional dergon doing their Displays)
Up to three dergons may benefit from the same Aerial Display piece! Up to two onlookers may use the piece for a roll of their own, provided they're shown enough in the art and present for at least 400 words of the writing.
Your dergon must be depicted attempting some sort of impressive aerial maneuver! They do not have to succeed.
Dergons do this for an audience, whether it's their crush, their buddies, their very proud and concerned parents (Look ma, one wing!), a stranger, their pets, this frog they found...
The audience does not have to be other imports, or even dergons at all! If your dergon believes they have a captive audience, they may perform for them.
Once completed, your dergon will earn its Shiny Rock That Proves I Love You, which confirms that they've completed an Aerial Display, and is a sign that they're ready to mingle!
Their Genetic Strength (read more about this here) will be set to Normal, as is the default. It can be improved by completing further Aerial Displays alongside earning Boons as they level up!
Your dergon can be given a Shiny Rock without completing an Aerial Display, as you can find the item itself in shops or through activities. This can skip the art requirement, but be aware: Without the Display, your dergon's Genetic Strength will start at Low!
This can be raised to Normal by completing an Aerial Display later, as usual.
You can submit your Aerial Displays on our Discord server!
