It's no problem Ice. I'm just glad that you're back. As for your characters, I can't find profiles for Da'im and Felicia, but the other three have been moved to the Saved Characters board. [/blockquote]

Alright . . . . It seems we are going to have a fight over leadership!! Now we just have to figure out who will be against who? As in, who will stand up to Akri and Lunith, or Z'dyn and Slith? Also, what are we agruing over? [/blockquote]

Well I actually hyas idea about that, but it only works if Obsi complies ^_^
We know O'sin wishes he was Weyrleader. We know he's kind of at odds with Akri right now. We know he's still greaving for Panthea and Horibath. What if...somehow...Akri and O'sin end up in a conflict where there is a fight for leadership?
Or we can have it Z'dyn and Akri ^_^ That was another popped into my head thing that I wanted to suggest. Don't have to do it, of course ^_^ Again, its not well thought out because I don't have an idea about how it starts or why they are arguing.
Maybe someone wants to do something for the weyr, and another votes against it or something? *shrugs*
Or someone could make a new, brash character who thinks he'she should be leader instead.
Oh! Another idea! What if...what if...there is a gold pair that was bred at Black Obsidian, but left to be at another weyr? Except they came back and they insist that they get proper leadership because they were there first/are a mature gold pair. Something like that. Could be done.

I like the idea of a gold pair. That would raise questions about whether Violets are true Queens. Some people would argue that Akri has led the Weyr well for however long it has been, and she shouldn't be replaced just because a gold comes along.
Somehow neither O'sin nor Z'dyn strike me as people who would be all power-hungry and try to depose the power structure...

Yeah, I like my second idea better <3 I don't really see O'sin as that kind of person, but I figured I might as well say it anyway

I agree. The gold idea seems to be a better idea. I'll throw out a few and see what you think.
OK, so, we could try this. um.............
1> A new bronze rider comes from a enemy/other weyr and is mysterious. He wants leadership and thinks O'sin and the new weyrleader shouldn't have been given rank. Wanting to take there place he hatches a plan by going around and getting Weyrlings and fellow dragonriders to agree with him. >>Side Note<< I think a Gold flight should go up then, cuase it would make it even worse.
2> A gold suddenly appears from no where, striking she is strangly different from any gold known on pern. The rider of this gold is a power hungy woman and wants leadership of a weyr. Her gold influenced by this trys to pull bronzes of every age over to her side, because with them come other colors below. Her rider the hole time is influezing younger gold and violate riders to come to her side and even the young Werylings. <<Side Note>> NOt sure why, but i like this idea better, also the gold would be a gold with like violate colors or green or something in her hide making her a different color then usually.
Ok, there is my ida, also Charm, i was talking about the normal everyday skin we have been using, but soon I'm going to get a new skin made up and get the same kind of dragons for them, only in different colors, maybe.

I like the idea of a power-hungry gold, personally. Because other dragons follow golds in the way they don't any other dragon colour. Bronzes are less rare, they're less influential and they're not breeding females, therefore more expendable. We had a similar idea, when I was running my own Weyr. There were two Weyrs, one with a mentally unstable Weyrwoman and her equally perturbed dragon. Minyara, the Weyrwoman was the type of person who theoretically should never even been allowed to stand. She was a violent person with a loose grasp on morality and her dragon's mind just followed hers. I think that the story went that Minnie had killed someone as a Weyrling and Glith kind of lost it after that. Remember that a Sr. Queen can actually order all dragons grounded and none can disobey. So unstable queen + power (maybe she has the other dragons of her clutch under her power, or some of the hatchlings from her own first clutch) = baaaaaaaad things. If it's wanted, I'd be willing to resurrect Minnie here...
Also, there could be an issue of who's actually Weyrwoman when our current baby gold matures. Are Violets truly higher ranking than golds? That could be an issue.

*grins at all the possiblities* OH!!! There all so good!!! But everyone is right, O'sin isn't the type of person to be power hungry, and since we're starting a bit in the future, I'm going to go ahead and bring O'sin out of his depression caused by Panthea's death. So be ready for a totally different O'sin.
I really like Charm's Gold idea, and Shifter's. Both are great!!!
To answer your question, Violets are considered the higest ranking laying female dragon simply because they can outfly a Gold, and that is about the only reason. Golds still lay bigger clutches, they can still order other colors around, whereas the Violets cannot. So yes, Golds are of higher rank than Violets, its just that the people of Black Obsidian Weyr think that Violets are the new Queens simply because of their newer color. [/blockquote]

I have an idea for a totally different colored dragon.
Have a dragon that is peacock color come back to the past formly telling all that her dragon outranks even the golds and violets and without question possibly has a dragon that will fight other dragons along while being able to control the younger ones. One that is blood hungry and i mean blood hungry for power. She has dragons already brought from the future with her and she is looking for more land for her followers and is willing to make a blood bath with who ever tries to stop her even if its a person's dragon.

Well, I guess one of the goldrider ideas is the best.
They're basically all similar...so morph everyone's contributions to the gold idea together?
Though I do admit that Ice's other idea is real good too...
