It works. And I'd much rather be working, but yeah, thanks.

Also, is it okay if some of the humanoid males can go shirtless at the gym classes if they want to? I get the impression that some of them want to impress the females and/or come from a culture where such light dress is normal.

So you're one of THOSE people. That's cool. :-) In that case, I'm sorry you got the day off! XD

Of course! Guys are guys. I don't think I've ever met a single guy who hasn't walked around with his shirt off, especially when they're working up a sweat... or showing off their muscles.

A workaholic? Well, more like that I need the money to buy a new laptop, but I am generally happy to be working.

I'll put it into the RP. Not that all of them would be that. For example, Aurelian will, Jorn won't. At least, not at first.

@Aristocles
Thought we agreed that our apologies for delays were going to be implied? XD Things have been kind of hectic here. Among other issues, I STILL don't have a stupid mailbox key. Should be getting one in the next couple days... hopefully.

Let me know if you're okay with the track idea I put in my IC post!

Well, it wouldn't be interesting without some kind of obstacles! And I think my cat wants to say hello.

Wanted to let you know that I have one other RP right now to reply to, then I'll get to this one. Been feeling a bit ill, so am lagging behind on, well, everything.

Thanks! Me too. xD

You know, I would love to know more about your dracon species and their culture, if you would be up for sharing! If not, I totally understand. :-)

@Aristocles
Whatever you want to tell me first, I suppose! Maybe start with the basics? How they usually live, what their culture is like, if they commonly live in large communities or small groups out in their dry climates, if there's a hierarchy among them...

They live in a desert continent, a bit like Egypt. Most dracons live on farms or in rural villages, but they have big cities and towns too. Like most continents, they have separate countries. Some of these are independent kingdoms, others are city-states, some are regions occupied by migratory tribes. The eight most important cities run kingdoms attached to themselves. And warfare is very common in the dracon realms.

They are very hierarchial, with males being put above females, rich over poor, nobles over commoners. Not all of them are happy with this, however.

They usually live in houses. Poorer ones live in mud and straw huts. Richer dracons live in houses made of brick or clay. Stucco is also used. The very rich live in manors made of granite or marble.

As for their culture, it varies. It would be like asking what American culture is like if the 50 states were independent from each other. Imagine comparing Texas to Massachusetts in such a situation. Even united, it is quite a contrast. Divided, it would be more so.

We've already gone over how dracons dress, if memory serves. It may help to know that they are perfectly adapted to their desert environment, so clothing was not used for warmth or shelter from the sun. It may also help to know that dracons are not the only sentient species in their continent. Kobolds and goblins live underground or in small tribes on the surface. Dragons live there too, and yes, they are sentient.

I have a great deal of information on my DA account, under "Dracon writings." That may also help. I have much more to say here, but I am on my smartphone as of this writing, so it is hard to get it all down here.

Wow! Nice. Very well thought out. And quite impressive for using a phone! Could I get a link to that to your "Dracon writings?"

Here it is. "Dracon Literature."

I'll have a reply in the RP itself soon.

Oh, wow! That is very thorough! I suddenly feel inspired to add more complexity to my own race... Heh. I don't have time to read through too much right now, but I will do so soon! I have the page bookmarked. :-) Any suggestions on which one to begin with?

Well, it depends on which subject you want to read about, but these two might be of interest to you. Quick and informative:

http://aristodes.deviantart.com/art/Dracon-Did-You-Know-407569437

http://aristodes.deviantart.com/art/Dracon-Tropes-568978565

At some point, I will create a single "super writing" on the dracons, with all important information in one place (biology, history, magic, society, etc).
