Project Hybrid

"Let us hope that these subjects are more stable than TwinBragia. They couldn't be any worse? Could they?" Seldragia Bles at the project's start.
Project Hybrid was a genetic's project, started in 1853 and ended in 1856, that used left over Ancient Dragoian technology and records to create Dragon-Dragoian hybrids from preserved Dragon DNA and the DNA of unhatched Dragoians in an attempt to make a smaller, and less foul tempered TwinBragia.
==Overview==
Started in 1853 under direct orders of Queen Seldragia Bles, after researchers discovered Ancient Dragoian files relating to the creation of 'A powerful and large hybrid of Dragon and Dragoian'. Among these files the name of the only subject made by the Ancient Dragoians was found to be TwinBragia, the very same TwinBragia who had been cloned 56 years prior. The project was always put on low priority and was somewhat rushed with a poor budget (the opposite of the earlier genetics project, Project Dralkyria), as it was all created on Seldragia's slim hope.
Due to the realisation that TwinBragia was a hybrid and not some freak of nature, Seldragia hoped to create a smaller and more likeable Dragon-Dragoian hybrid that would exist as both a friend and bodyguard.
The project intentionally used some of the earlier work the Ancient Dragoians had tested that were less "Perfect" due to knowing that a "Perfect" hybrid was a monster like TwinBragia. The data they ended up using resulted in just two living Hybrids that were both far less Dragoian than TwinBragia being created. The first of these survivors hatched in late 1855 and was believed to be a male, and was deemed too weak despite the above normal size. The other hatched in early 1856 and was a tiny female that was also deemed to be too weak. The remaining 8 test subjects all failed to hatch at all. Due to these failures the project was shut down and shelved with the two surviving subjects having no official project-based upbringing.
The abominations created by Project Hybrid and it's numerous complete failures, as well as the almost total failure of the earlier Project Dralkyria, led to Seldragia Bles making a law in late 1856 that made genetic engineering of non-plants illegal. Despite this ban, a small group of Project Hybrid's scientists were allowed to continue in secret with funding from House Agthe, eventually resulting in the successful creation of a hybrid called Dravora.
Also following the ban, a scientist from Project Hybrid not involved with Dravora's creation disobeyed this law and worked in secret to create a Human-Dragoian hybrid, eventually succeeding in 1899. His actions drew the attention of Dragyia Agthe, who deliberately kept track of all scientists involved in Project Hybrid following it's closure, but earned no response from her.
==Fates==
*Subject 1, Blight, hatched in 1855, raised by one of the project's scientists until the age of 13 where her increasingly violent tendencies got her cast into the wilds due to being a total failure. Expected outcome was that she would be shot as a monster.
*Subject 2, No56, hatched in 1856, dumped in the casteless in 1875 after being raised by the empire (until age 5 by Seldragia, until age 21 by assorted agents of Dragyia).
