For the first time in Sunder's history, it's that time of year! Come early August, it will be time for our first of what is slated to be twice-annual Dragon bondings. Yes, Dragons. All ranks will be available for this bonding, which means that now is a good time to ask me (or Kay, or the 3.5e Draconomicon) about the wild dragons and their influences on the Mottles.
I will be running the bonding, so feel free to send me any questions you've got at any time.
On that note, this is not a choose-which-character situation. You do not have to decide whether it's your primary or your secondary that attends the bonding in the hopes of Impressing a Dragon. Both characters may attend! It's encouraged, unless, of course, there's an in-character reason why you don't want one of your characters to have a Dragon, so don't feel forced or anything, but it's encouraged.
So now is the time to start thinking about what kind of Dragon you want for each of your characters. Not just the rank, although that's important and I'll be wanting input from you on that, but I will be tailoring each Dragon to each character. In fact, there is homework for you to fill out to help you help me give you the Dragons you want and deserve.
You don't have to fill it all out now or even all at once, but here's a sneak peak to get you thinking:
1. How important is your dragon’s heritage to you? Would you like a Mottle, or is your heart set on a pure-blooded Pernese dragon? This is important! Think hard, be honest. Tell me what you want, whether that’s a pure-blooded original Pernese or a Mottle, and if Mottle, what wild dragon influences would you like? Colors, horns, frills, markings, breath weapon… This is your chance for customization. You may or may not get the exact rank you want, but what kinds of heritage, colorations, markings, and breath weapon type are ALL up to you. (If you have any questions about the natures of the wild dragons, feel free to PM Heron or Kay.)
2. List five adjectives about your dragon’s personality that you would like to describe your dragon.
3. Now list five more adjectives you want to have describe your dragon.
4. Now give me five adjectives you DON’T want describing your dragon.
5. What kind of worldview of your character’s do you want your dragon to reflect? Is it a strong sense of justice? The drive to survive? Compassion? Apathy? Your dragon is a reflection of your character, so consider this carefully and be as specific as you can be. No detail is too small to include, and no idea is too unimportant to mention. If you need to ramble, then ramble, but make sure you tell me what you want!
6. What are your three favorite dragon ranks? And also, why are they your favorite ranks? What is it about these ranks in particular that you find appealing?
7. What are your least favorite ranks, or ranks you Do Not Want to bond at all? What is it about these ranks that you find specifically unappealing?
8. Is your heart set on any particular gender of dragon? If so, be sure to mention that, and, preferably, why.
9. And, finally, do you want me/your Dragon to elide your character(s)'s name(s)? (For example, a character named Jeremiah Impresses a Dragon. His player wants to elide Jeremiah's name, so the Dragon refers to him as J'miah or J'rem.)

ADDENDUM!
Dragons will remain an open bonding all through August, even if it occasionally appears inactive.
I want everyone to have the chance to bond a dragon! Or two, if you feel like filling out the homework twice. Yes, I was told by co-admins that since I have so many clutches on the sands, I can hand off two dragons per character to anyone who wants an extra.
PM me the homework, have your character show up, don't have them do anything egregiously inappropriate. It's that easy!
No flaming hoops, no weird adventures. Just a pretty traditional Pernese Hatching. Put on a robe, stand on the Hatching Sands.
The questionnaire above helps me write the dragons' descriptions. And, like any Pernese bonding, the dragons will find their soulmates on the sands without any gymnastics needed. =)
ALSO
Have no fear of being accused of hide-hunting if you want to ask for higher-ranking dragons!
It's the first Dragons bonding ever for Sunder. Queen ranks, lords, uncommons, dude, just tell me what you WANT. The only egg off the table, due to events of the bonding so far, is the pureblooded Gold. Gold Mottles, however, and every single other rank both Mottle and pure Pernese...they're all available.
You want a lord-ranked dragon? A queen or junior queen?
TELL ME.
You're not likely to get turned down.
