IT'S DONE. The sketches are ugly, but at this point I'm only concerned about getting the information written down.

extra info:

Kyzens adore jewels. The Elder is often adorn with jewels. Jewels are one of their specialties, and are sought by other dragons due to their skillful craftsmanship.

Subspecies
Common Kyzen - The standard Kyzen. Kaiz is an example of a Common Kyzen (however, she is not an accurate representation of Common Kyzens. She is related to the Elder, therefore she is much more feathery.)
Borea Kyzen - a subspecies that is very common in northern and southern regions. Hiami and Tastwa are examples of Borea Kyzens.
Ikan Kyzen - a subspecies of Kyzen adapted to living in and around water. See [link] for concept art. Sapparit is an example of a female Ikan.
Loch Kyzen - a subspecies adapted to coniferous forests. They are furrier than Commons and come in darker shades, often shades of green.

Creating a Kyzen
Currently, Kyzens are not a public species for anyone to design a character for. Despite creating it quite some time ago, it is still young species and not everything is set in stone. Details are subject to changes. Therefore, I'm giving certain people permission to create a character and help establish the species and details. When I feel that I have covered everything, I'll allow anyone to create a Kyzen with my permission.
When designing your character, stick to the anatomy I've established. Don't go off adding or subtracting things without consulting me.
You may create as many characters as you'd like, but tell me about the characters and send me a ref. I want to keep track of each Kyzen.
You may create subspecies. Please send me a note with details about the subspecies and I'll add it to the list.
Be creative. Go ahead a do something a little different; with Kyzens, there are so many possibilities.
By creating a Kyzen, you agree that I may draw your character and include in any stories as I wish.
If you have a question, ask away. c:
FAQ
Q: Is there any kind of map of the Kyzens' world/What environments are available in their world?
A: Not yet. I have a map sketched out and I will upload one that shows all the biomes of their continent. Their world is varied, and while there are biomes that are very much like our earth, there are also some unusual biomes that occur due to magic currents.
The most common biomes are: Tundra, boreal/taiga forests, deciduous forests, arid deserts, shrub lands, alpine, rainforests, wetlands, and grasslands.
Q: Specifically, what colors are available?
A: Every. Kyzens can be as colorful as tropical birds or fish, or they can be naturally colored like mammals. Their eyes also come in a variety of colors. However, as hatchlings, their eyes are dark, but lighten up as they grow older.
Q: What kind of predators do Kyzens have?
A: Adults have few predators to worry about. Their main concerns are larger dragons, rocs, and sea monsters (if they are near an ocean). Hatchlings ans fledglings have many predators, including wild cats, birds of prey, other dragons, snakes, and so on.

Now, I'm not sure if Kyzens should have anthro/human forms. I'm really leaning towards giving them anthro forms because dragons are really hard to draw over and over when making a comic. e_e And then sometime anthros are just easier to draw. Opinions?
Proposed ideas:
1.) Anthro forms art-wise only. (no alt forms in stories)
2.) The Elder teaches them to use magic to obtain an anthro form.

Thank you for reading. :>

Hi,
I would like to add your breed to BodAs collection of breeds on dA, if you dont mind.

I think this is a well done explanation of your Kyzens! To do a reference for one character is hard but for a whole species is even harder.

As for a suggestion about your anthro/ human form "problem". I actually donΒ΄t know in what kind of sub universe they live and if something like magic is used there... though I hope my suggestion would work somehow ^^ .

Some of the Kyzens could be taught by their elders to perform these kind of transformation. Or generally all who belong to the elder (like childs; sisters; brothers) can perform it, of course next to the elder themselves.

I wonder how the hatchlings look like.

Thank you! It took me a long time to put this together, and I was pressured to get it done. It sure was tricky.

Their universe is very magic-based. It is used, but only by particular people. Not everyone has the capacity for magic, and those who have the capacity need to be taught to tap into the external and internal flow of magic and control it. On occasion, depending on the person or species, magic comes naturally to the individual.
I do like that idea. I'll propose the idea to the people who are currently creating characters and helping me with the species. Speaking of which, would you like to create a Kyzen? you have some neat designs, plus I could use your help with subspecies and such; I know you think of some really creative ideas.

Eh, I was going to draw a hatchling but I didn't really get to it. I'll probably upload a sketch to my scraps; I have an idea for a hatchling sketch that I'd like to draw sometime soon.

Finion591 In reply to Khezix [2009-06-28 04:05:39 +0000 UTC]

I would be honored if I could create one! ^^ . I donΒ΄t really think that all of my ideas are that creative but well.... anyway.

Hmm... next to transformations can they use the magic they gain for something other... like healing, creating clouds or whatever magic is used to else?

Khezix In reply to Finion591 [2009-06-28 19:28:28 +0000 UTC]

you have creative ideas. I visit your gallery often and you have some cool ideas. Anyway, if you do make a Kyzen and you finish the ref, send me a link please! c: And feel free to create a subspecies.

Oh, there are so many uses for magic. There are the primary elements (earth, fire, water, wind, lightning) that any magic user can master, then there are secondary elements (light, dark) that different people master, depending on their soul (magic is closely related to the individual's soul). Magic cannot be used to create or destroy things, but there is a mystical entity that can create and destroy at will... Oh, I could go on and on about the magic of their world. ^^'
I was also thinking of making map that shows the continents where Kyzens reside. Maybe it will help people figure out where they want their Kyzen to live.

Finion591 In reply to Khezix [2009-06-29 00:17:12 +0000 UTC]

Of course I will send you the reference!

Nice, thanks for the offer... are there still other subspecies in the making?

You should write about their magic system somewhere ^^ . By the way: will you draw the entity one day?

Yeah a map would be good. It can also help to create more adapted subspecies.

Khezix In reply to Finion591 [2009-06-29 17:42:17 +0000 UTC]

ok cool. c:

I haven't heard any updates from the others who are making Kyzens. I don't know if they have made any subspecies yet, and I haven't thought of any myself (too busy! D: ) so there are currently only the Common, the Borea, and whatever subspecies you create.

After talking to you about it, I think I will. You've made me realize what an intricate world I have created. 8D
The entity itself does not have a physical form. It takes the form of someone's soul, making it dependent on its host. I've tried drawing its host before, but for some reason I can't draw him. Dx I just can't. I could try drawing the other hosts, though (there are three versions of this entity, but only one of them is the true entity).

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. :> It will also be a place where I can explain the magic system, and other various details that could be helpful.

I would like to send you a note with further questions if you allow. I have to be sure that I donΒ΄t make anything wrong... and I donΒ΄t want to spam your reference comments with questions ^^ .

Yeah as soon as a world is created it can become more and more complex in a really short time ^^ .

Then you should scribble the hosts!

Khezix In reply to Finion591 [2009-06-29 23:37:27 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'd prefer if you sent your questions in notes. It'd help me keep things more organized.

Yeah, I have thought out so many details. Of course, I created the world 5 years ago, so I've had quite some time to think things over.

Maybe I will.

Well looks like you have put a lot of thought in to this. I don't think the art is ugly at all.

Thank you! I did put a lot of thought into them, and the scary part is that I'm not done! xD;

I look foward to seeing what else you do then

Khezix In reply to PCRaven [2009-06-28 03:08:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, I did as much as I could and at this point, so I'm having some friends help me smooth out the kinks and think of some more subspecies.

Well if you need so help I could try to help ... not sure I would be any help .
I look foward to seeing how the other subspecies turn out.

Thank you. :> Someone who is designing a character has suggested a subspecies and I'm working on some concept art for it. c:
