otaku's first wings of fire fantribe :>

## Rules

Ask me on my wall for the following:

-Hybrid AmPhiWings. This tribe is mostly isolated so they do NOT have tribrids, quadbrids, etc.

-AmPhiWings with the Midas touch. The Midas touch is rare, like firescales and flamesilk, so you MUST ask before making an OC with the Midas touch.

-Royalty. Even if they are the slightest bit royal (e.g. the stepson of the Lordess's second cousin) you MUST ask.

-Special AmPhiWings.

## General Information

### Description

Dusty scales nearly the exact color of the sand, with a brown frill down their back and a white or yellow-white skull-shaped pattern on their heads. Their legs look as if they stepped in a pool of black ink, and occasionally they have black ink spots elsewhere. Their dragonfly-like wings are too small to fly with, and cannot do much more than a bit of gliding. They have feathered tails and their underbellies are usually speckled with shades of brown. Their horns are long and straight, usually the same color as the skull pattern on their heads. They usually have silk wrapped around their tail, claws or neck. Their claws are thick, strong, and look much like sharp little scoops.

### Habitat

AmPhiWings typically burrow in warm cavernous areas, digging dens in sand or rock. During the colder Winter months they move farther underground, where many hibernate. A typical AmPhiWing "nest" consists of a large room dug into rock or sand, with smaller rooms on the side for storage, sleeping, etc. Each "nest" has an "egg room", a room designed to be as warm and safe as possible for eggs to rest in. In other tribes this is typically known as a hatchery. Only royalty may live in buildings, but most Lordesses prefer a loose, warm tent instead.

### Abilities

Can breath a strange, soft silk-like flame that burns like normal fire, but AmPhiWIngs or part-AmPhiWings are not burned by it. This is the silk they wear as accessories. Can flap wings to create drafts of sand using special pockets in their body that suck up air and blow it back out like wind. Very rarely, AmPhiWings are granted the "Midas touch" where they can turn liquid into solid and vice versa. The only recorded Animus dragon in the tribe had no siblings and died without having dragonets.

### Royal Family

Unlike with most tribes, the eldest dragonet (be it male or female or neither) inherits the throne, as well as being the only one with the right to challenge his/her mother/father. In the case of this generation, the eldest dragonet is Princess She'ne. The list of royal family members is listed below. (Note: the names are listed in no particular order, however the Lord/Lordess is *always* placed first.

Cel'reih (Lordess, Midas touch)

An'kel (Lordess's wife)

Shl'er, Shl'reih (Princes, twins)

She'ne (Princess, oldest, heir to the throne)

Shaik'e VII (Prince, youngest)

Sha'k (Lordess's brother, general of the guard)

### Naming

AmPhiWing names are usually composed of random syllables, often in two parts, with an apostrophe seperating the two parts. AmPhiWing names don't always follow normal word combination pronounciations, such as in the name Shaik'e. In this name, which has been used by various Lords and Lordesses, "Shaik" is pronounced "sha-ik" instead of "shake" as in normal words.

## "Special" AmPhiWings

### Excluded AmPhiWings

Excluded AmPhiWings are AmPhiWings that live in bunches separately from the rest of the tribe. They abide by their own rules, and usually have more hybrids.

### Bugwinged AmPhiWings

Bugwinged AmPhiWings are AmPhiWings with four wings, and sometimes they may even be buglike. The most common form of bugwinged AmPhiWings have two "normal" wings like most AmPhiWings and two smaller "twins" alongside them. Sometimes only the "twins" are buglike, other times all four wings are buglike. Due to the rather recent discovery of bugwinged AmPhiWings, it is possible that AmPhiWings descended from BeetleWings and SandWings (assumption based on the physical and genetical similarities between AmPhiWings and SandWings).

### Midas Touch AmPhiWings

The Midas touch is the magic touch that can turn liquids to solids (and vice versa). The Midas touch is extremely rare, like firescales and flamesilk or even animus magic. If used at its full potential it can shape solids as if they have the consistency of clay, like smooshing an iron rod into a dragon statue.

#### Incomplete Midas Touch AmPhiWings

Incomplete Midas touch AmPhiWings are AmPhiWings who can only use the Midas touch on certain objects.
