See the next post for a more in-depth guide of what to plan when you want to make a Lyrical Lineage.Ĭan I use a song/poem that someone else has done? Also, they don't have to be in English but not very people will understand it :v Again, as long as most or all of the lineage is from the same work, it counts as a Lyrical Lineage. Poems, songs, quotes, parts of scripts, or anything else that involves enough words that you can make a coherent lineage out of. Most I've seen are read right-to-left, from CB side to offspring. Lineages can be read right-to-left or left-to-right. So, it's usually CBs that get collected to start the lineage with, because integrating other ready-bred dragons to advance faster isn't usually an option for Lyrics. Unlike most lineage projects, Lyrics are usually a solo project because the maker has to control all the dragon names. Deadlines or zombies are also an option, but be careful naming a dragon you plan to kill because if it dies (and doesn't get revived or zombified) the name will be permanently on the dead dragon and not on your scroll. Most Lyrical Lineages don't have any extra non-lyric dragons, but there are a few exceptions, mainly breed-only dragons like hybrids or holiday breeds. As long as you have a set of names all from the same work (song, poem, etc) in the same lineage in a cohesive order, it counts. Inbreeding is a little unusual, but if you think it works with your lineage, go ahead. None of these fancy shapes or breed patterns are necessary, of course.

Making a lineage out of non-regular breeds like drakes, 2-headed or pygmies are also fine. Breed-wise, there are many checker lineages, although purebreds and patterns are also common. What kind of lineages can make a Lyrical Lineage?Īny kind! Even gens are a very common shape, but there have been stairs, spirals, irregular shapes, and even heart shapes are possible (although I have not personally seen one yet). The name Lyrical Lineage isn't official: the dragon names don't have to actually be from a song to count, and you can call these whatever you like.įor the most part these are all personal projects because naming must be closely coordinated, but it's not a hard rule. This example has dragon names made entirely out of song lyrics from Hallelujah, although it does not have most of the chorus in between, which is fine because the lyrics themselves are recognizable and in an understandable order. Unlike most other lineages, a Lyrical Lineage is called this because of the naming scheme of all the dragons in your lineage instead of breed or shape of the lineage. In a way, it is like an offshoot of the Personal Lineage Project thread but specialized in a certain kind of lineage, similar to the Even Gen Breeding thread. This thread is not a group project, but for displaying your own lineages that fit the criteria of a basic Lyrical Lineage, discussing them, and getting help with planning or finishing them.
