debating a laid-back canon Pern site with no accepting list (members can bring in 1 gold and it doesn't affect what you can Impress), soft gender Impression (i.e. it's an IC expectation but dragons OOCly have no preference), room for LGBT characters, and possibly member-run clutches of 2-6 (ICly the queens clutch more but PC eggs will be noted). possibly multiple locations as well. just kinda exploring shit in a canon pern with a bit of darkness but otherwise just kinda exists. so i'm kinda doing this
it's hard to say if it's canon or AU or semi-canon or noncanon tho since like. I'm sticking to only the canon 5 colors + whites, but i'm throwing out gender Impression (it'll be considered "soft canon" but there's lore behind why even Pern's no longer doing gender Impression and how it's actually never been a hard and fast rule). there will be mutations (such as dragons without wings, golds that can flame, etc) and some are innate to dragons and whers and flits (mostly like... if you want a black dragon, that's fine, melanism is a thing that occurs in the species, so your black dragon is just a bronze with too much pigment in his hide). the concept is that pern's gotten in contact with the galaxy at large, and it'll be focusing on a research colony around the ethics of how the dragons were engineered. the idea is, at the time, what Kitti Ping did was legal (and in the context of Pern, as pernese characters can point out, kinda understandable). now it's considered a crime by the galactic federation, and the dragon bonds are legally considered "enslavement by genetic design." the research colony is gonna try to reverse that engineering so dragons can be citizens of the federation. things they want to reverse are greens being infertile by design, dragons having very poor memory, and dragons being required to bond to humans and dying if they don't bond.
just. really leaning into the scifi aspects of the setting, and how the horrible war that led to Pern's creation also impacted the rest of the galaxy.
