Quetzalcóatl AU

This au is open, despite being a heavy wip))
==What is this AU?==
This AU takes place 1000 years after the canon timeline, with mild technology advancements. There is a famous lab, known as The Quetzalcóatl Lab Unit(s), with three locations across the supercontinent, Pyrtalia. It's main laboratory is located 25 miles away from the marshy outskirts of Lake Scorpion. It has 2 smaller location, and was formed around 200-300 years before the current events.
There are 10 kingdoms, each in their respective environments and tribal habitats, have unique laws, and different views and knowledge on The Quetzalcóatl Lab Unit(s).

==History Behind AU==
A few decades after canon events, the unity and peace between the tribes brought the two continents together. The tribes at first were startled, but eventually, solved out territories and kingdoms over ecades. With Pantala's advancements, RainWing's ideas, and NightWing's smaller advancements and intelligence, technology eventually started advancing. other tribes eventually helped, with the tribe's personal discoveries and unity.
A few hundred years later, technology was fairly advanced (roughly early 1800s tech) and only small conflicts here and there spawned. It wasnt until somewhere about 300 years later that a NightWing noble was exiled because of a phsycological condition and a massacre of royalty that she met a HiveWing-MudWing hybrid living off the eastern shore of Lake Scorpion in a small village. 
They had a dragonet, born with a weird 3rd eye. This dragonet was named Waspstriker, and he was always fascinated on how tribes evolved, or why special scales exist. He was also extremely smart ,and grew up on Lake Scorpion. When he was older, he met a MudWing and fell in love with her. She was also into science and wanted to start a lab.
They travelled west, past lake Scorpion and asked for funding from the HiveWings, which they got. The lab's original goals were to study and fully understand evolution, hybridization, special scales, how different tribes naturally react to the same/similar situations, and many other things related to that matter. 
Waspstriker's mother and some of Waspstriker's friends volenteered to be the experiments, and they went to go and adopt eggs from global orphanages. Over time, the lab became successful and popular, and Waspstriker changed his title to "The Quetzalcóatl' (the leaders/dragon incharge of the labs are called Quetzalcóatls, i.e 'Quetzalcóatl Waspstriker'). 
Waspstriker married his MudWing girlfriend, in a ceremony infront of the small lab that was beginning to expand. they took photos and rented some of the first few audio recorders and microphones, and had a very good time. A few years later, they had eggs. The oldest who hatched was a dragon named Foxhunter. She was the next to inherit the lab, and decided to have the lab's experiments somewhat intensify and for them to study more things.
Foxhunter's parents didn't enjoy her after a few years, and since she was the only one who wanted to own the lab next, she was still to inherit it. Foxhunter became exposed to neglect, verbal abuse and other horrible things her siblings werent exposed to, so Foxhunter became more demented. However, she also decided to strike deals with NightWings and HiveWings to help them develop technology, which had allowed them to get the latest tech.
Foxhunter also kidnapped her father to study his weird eye, and after a few months of him and Foxhunter going 'missing', she eventually removed the eye, which caused Waspstriker to go half-blind in the main eye just above it. Because of this, Waspstriker was forced to retire, and unwillingly let Foxhunter take over.
The lab's reputation was slightly tainted, and Foxhunter abused her title and power as Quetzalcóatl of the lab. However, she did hire others of all sorts of tribes and get subjects rather quickly and better than her father could. It is still a debate whether Foxhunter benefitted the lab or tainted it and ruined it.
She established a hierarchy between the roles, and didn't do much harm to the subjects in her first few years. But over time, she became worse and more brutal and merciless, leaving a scratch on the lab's reputation.
For the next few generations, it was mostly the male descendants of Waspstriker that took over. A smaller lab was built on an island in the Bay of a Thousand Scales, mostly where smaller experiments are done, and where they hold subjects until the lab can take them in. The Quetzalcóatl Labs only got more popular, and they got the latest tech.
Like most real-world buisnesses and governments, the goals of a Lab change and become much more tainted, and the Lab became much more sinister and evil with its experiments and test subjects. When the current Quetzalcóatl's great-grandfather was alive, there was a nasty war between RainWings and NightWings that pulled in most tribes except for IceWings and SkyWings. The great-grandfather faught in the war, and eventually earned PTSD and anxiety. The HiveWings really wanted to aid the NightWings even after the war, so they reached out to the labs.
The HiveWings asked if they could change the goals and influence of the Labs, and they did. So, they opened up a third location in the Ice kingdom where goods will be transported/manufactured/traded off/shipped/ect. The HiveWings donated eggs and more funding, and so did NightWings. The lab's goals were still to find out the discoveries of tribal things and the science behind them, but those were only minor compared t otheir new goals; To make bioweapons, make impossibly advanced technology and to create an artificial tribe or two.
Eventually all the tribes supported this, and the idea was supported by everyone for the first month after the news got out. The RainWings and NightWings held off their post-war hatred, and everything seemed great, until the great-grandfather died, leaving the lab off to the Quetzalcóatl's grandmother.
She worsened the Lab in a way, and really began looking for dragons with unusual colored scales, weird features of no tribes, hybrids and tribrids, special scales, and anything of the sorts. While animus hasn't been around in nearly 1000 years, the grandmother was very determined to find one. She tested many dragons like the Talons of Power ceremony, and soon enough she found one.
It was a SilkWing, and the animus was forced to enchant other eggs to be animus, and to create animus-proof areas in the lab for further testing and using of animus. The animus managed to get close enough to the grandmother and killed her, leaving it to the Quetzalcóatl's mother.
The mother's time as Quetzalcóatl was decently long, and she began to breed the unusual or special scales dragons with each other, and outside the lab, there were spikes of cases of reported strange dragons. The Lab went out to capture them, sending some of them to the Kingdom of the Sea location. Eventually, individual dragons began to sponsor and donate towards the lab.
Around 30 years later,thats when the lab's ownership was passed down to the current Quetzalcóatl, Bronzeclaw. He immediatly made the lab high-security, started breeding certain dragons that would make powerful offspring, chemical and animus experiments, and phsycological and physical tortures to see different dragon's reactions and what needs to be 'fixed'. He did have a daughter, who's name is Shadowmoth. 
Bronzeclaw managed to strike deals having NightWings, HiveWings and SeaWings send over weird-looking eggs or dragons of special scales, and sending over prisoners that are hybrids or deformed. Tribes like RainWings and IceWings usually wait every few months to give leftover eggs about to hatch from the orphanage to the lab, sometimes dragons the queens of the tribes would think are interesting. 
Tribes like SandWings and SkyWings simply don't care, while tribes like MudWings, SilKWings and leafWings dont like them for personal reasons, even rumors that the SilkWing queen who had a rare silk type was kidnapped (which was true), along with some sly and unrecognizeable staff stealing eggs from the three tribes.
Bronzeclaw and his daughter looked through files to use as evidence to justify the actions of him and previous Quetzalcóatls, and adjusted or created new roles for workers, and had expanded the Lab even more. Animus magic was helped to create extremely advanced tech, such as robots with sentinence and used to help the process of bioweapon and artificial tribe creation.
The Lab became a place of dread, and it has been noted that a subject escaped with photo evidence on how bad the Lab was. The lab became shady, and a place of dread. The HiveWing's and SilkWing's decent relationship deteriated, and they started to dislike each other, and the LeafWings had a new reason to hate HiveWings. SilkWings were unsure and felt awful from being descended from NightWings, and LeafWings no longer felt a bond with the RainWings.
Memories and thoughts from the war were remembered, further straining the tribe's relationships with one another. Eventually, they added new things for the subjects, and even allowed them some freedoms. Shadowmoth eventually started working with others outside the lab, and nobody found out. Bronzeclaw, on the other hand, was deemed the worst Quetzalcóatl even by Waspstriker who was a very elderly (And record holder) dragon who had a tiny section of the expanded lab dedicated to him, where he lives.
==Current Events==
Bronzeclaw has opinions that vary of him everywhere in the kingdoms. Even some laws in the Silk Kingdom ban speaking about Bronzeclaw and having a good opinion about him is punishable by death. Meanwhile in the kingdom just south of the Silk Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Hives, bronzeclaw is cherished for simply beign the leader of the laboratories.
Shadowmoth is only allowed in the SilkWing's kingdom and LeafWing's kingdom is because they want information about the Lab and the subject's treatment. Subjects are treated horrible, with horrible experiments and strange features. The lab still does smaller experiments with the original purpose in mind, but not their main purpose.
From HiveWings to SilkWings, the Lab lacks bias towards the subjects. Some experiments have to do with NightWing eggs, like tinting moonlight, blue moon moonlight, and different types of moons and artificial lights. Even injections in the egg to stimulate the powers. That is one of the many experiments they do. 
The HiveWings also recently passed a law that states any unusual egg/dragonet/dragon is to be sent to the location to the Kingdom of the Sea for valuation. The NightWings have also had a similar law.

==The Main Laboratory==
MAP COMING SOON)
The main Laboratory is 25 miles west of Lake Scorpion's marshes. It is in the Kingdom of the Hives, and has 6 floors. It was originally just a huge black sphere with different hidden chambers with the medbay, small cells, a huge empty room and a large cafeteria, with a small entrance facing each direction. These entrances lead to a what use to be garden and outdoor testing area with a thick net on top, with crops and a hexagonal wall with windows and floors showing the lab use to be guarded. Now, it is a place where they experiment on crops with dragon-proof glass. that appears tinted to dragons.
Two floors above ground was added when Foxhunter took over, the top floor being mostly an indoor living area, and holding the living quarters of the Workers. It is noted there are many dome-like balconies with emergency exits in each dorm and rooms towards the outside, usually to see if other dragons are coming to attack. The staff lounge is also here, and so are temporary offices for workers and has the staff's medbay. 
The second floor is where prison, solitary confinement, chemical and d**g storage, and in the middle, the hatchery for the staff's dragonets and eggs that look regular. The top floor has a glass area where they can walk and see the eggs. Small experiments are performed here, and experiment preperations take place here too.
The floor just below the central floor is where the subject role-call takes place, where the subject hatcheries are located, where the extra technology is stored, the wingery, the file rooms, and most importantly, worker and staff offices along with small chambers for special experiments only avaliable for individual dragons. The floor is generally bright, with wide and short halls.
The walls of the deepest floor are sound-proof and dragon-proof. The cells are down here, and so are the torture chambers, vitals, subject medbay, smaller storage units, and rooms where all sorts of experiments take place. Anything else that havent been directly mentioned rooms that would likely have some sort of activity would also be down here. The room has dim lights, often old-school with moonglobes and torch lights. While the entire lab is made of thick and dragon-proof material, the bottommost floor especially.
on the outside, much of the lab looks similar to the original black sphere. Unlike the black sphere, it isnt shiny however. Every floor of the lab except for the first ever part has bloodstains, and its rumored you can hear screaming of the dead, however this is false, as most bodies and useless chemicals are dumped in Lake Scorpion.
However, favorited subjects are buried around Waspstriker's Quarters, which is a small sub-section of the lab that is dedicated to Waspstriker, who sits there all day and basically rots away in time.
==The 'Factory'==
The 'Factory' is a black and heavily guarded buildign ni the Ice Kingdom, located on a deserted island north. Technology is created and tested there, along with meetings of tribes that live westward with the staff. Technology is also stored/destroyed/ect there, and it is a tall building with massive hallways to transport technology. A majority of it is storange units for technology, while smaller storage units for minerals and artificial chenicals. Storage units in this building are like beehives and honeycombs, with labels.
==The Quetzalcóatl Jr==
The much smaller lab is located in the Kingdom of the Sea and looks like a bunch of cubes, each one for a different purpose. this smaller lab is made to hold subjects for evaluation, or if they are less dangerous or cant fit in the main lab. This lab also allows much smaller experiments, and punishment by starving and depriving of water. Tribes that live eastward have meetings with the lab staff here.
|-|Ranks=
(Note: The roles with '==' are listed from top to bottom hierarchy-wise)
==The Founder==
==The Quetzalcóatl==
==The Heads==
There are four heads; The head scientist, the head researcher, the head medic and the head guard. They are in charge of the regular workers that have one of the four jobs, hence 'head'
==Common Jobs==
===Scientist===
Scientists are the most common. They are the dragons who conduct the experiments and handle subjects. They are also the ones who keep track of the storages and the subjects, while also prepping the experiments. They like researchers take notes, but far less detailed.
===Researchers===
Typically there to observe the experiments and take extremely detailed notes. They also do things like role-call with the guards, and report to the Quetzalcóatl directly. They also keep track of all the files and records, especially medical ones. 
===Medics===
Medics typically operate at the medbay, but can be present during large or dangerous experiments. Medics also watch all the dragonets that are a year and under, and are well trained, and dragons with fast reflexes and ability to learn easier are often chosen. 
===Guards===
Guards to role-call with researchers, help handle subjects, protect other staff who dont know how to defend themselves (or dont have fast reflexes), help oversee experiments and punish the subjects. More well trained and trustable ones defend the Quetzalcóatl and his family. 
==Lesser Jobs & Interns==
Janitors, servants, chefs and interns are all lesser roles, and are typically less respected. You all probably know what they do, no explination needed.
==Subjects==
Subjects are always treated horribly, always with tons of heavy and tight chains, confined in dark environments, underfed and constantly experimented on. Even the smallest things that can be considered 'abnormal' is something they are judged and experimented on for. However, subjects that hatch with no special ability or weird bloodtype or anything else that a subject is typicalyl experimented on, they become apart of the side-project led by Waspstriker (via series of essays directing some lucky staff and workers about the Lab's original intention) of learning about genetics and hybridization.
