Survival Of The Pack
On an Earth-like planet, a species is struggling to survive. A deadly sickness spread throughout their population, and nearly destroyed them. Now there are only 10 individuals left, and it's a desperate race to spread your genes, find food, survive, and - most importantly - keep your pack alive.

About The Game
This is a game where you decide the actions these animals take. One member can only vote for 3 different 'actions,' though they can change their vote. I will only post twice every day - once in the morning, and once right before I go to bed! Between these two times, the people involved in the game can talk about the decision you want to make. Whatever 3 choices get the most votes are the ones that will be taken. If there's a tie, the two will be combined.
About The Animals
This species is an unusually diverse species of mammalian "dragon" called dragas. Male dragas are typically smaller than the females, and they have large ruffles of fur on their necks, something like a mane. Females are tall and muscular, lacking the mane but possessing silky, thick fur on their bellies to keep their offspring warm and comfortable. They can come in a multitude of different colors, body types, and skills. They share terms with cats - young males are called gibs, adult males are toms. Young females are mollies and adult females are queens. Babies are called kits.
About The World
The area where the dragas live is generally warm, with the sun beating down in an almost-desertlike way. However, plants still grow and prosper here, despite the heat. Rain is uncommon, however it is more usual up in the north, so the largest river in the locale can remain at least reasonably flowing all year long. Droughts are all too common, though - sometimes something blocks the river, or rain doesn't fall in the north, or some other spur-of-nature thing. Likewise, the river has been known to burst its banks, although this is EXTREMELY rare.
The Species - Genes
Body Type: Big = Prefers cold climates // Does more damage when hunting // Needs more food to survive // Less likely to be targeted by predators // Takes effort to fly
Body Type: Medium = Prefers no specific climate // Can cover long distances // Needs half the food of a big draga // somewhat likely to be targeted by predators // Has good endurance when flying
Body Type: Small = Prefers hotter climates // Is very fast // Needs very little food but a lot of water // Most commonly taken by predators // Flies fast but tires easy
Coloration: All dragas come in various forms of 'brown.'
Black = The darkest. Absorbs heat and makes you more noticable.
Muddy = Absorbs heat, breaks up outline but still noticable
Neutral = Makes you tougher to see, equally absorbs and reflects light
Copper = Prey cannot see you, reflects most light
Tan = Makes you nearly impossible to see, reflects most light
White = Reflects all light, makes you noticable.
Patterns:
Plain = Makes you very noticable
Speckled = Breaks up your outline in a forest area.
Striped = Breaks up your outline in a grassy area.
Mottled = Breaks up your outline in a sun-dappled area.
Piebald = Breaks up your outline, but is suspicious to prey
Raccoon = Doesn't break up outline, but makes socialization easier.
Wing Types:
Gliding = Only one finger bone turned into a wing, and the rest of the fingers are free, allowing the animal to walk on them. They can also be used as graspers.
Half-Flyer = All but two fingers were turned into wings, and two fingers are free. Can be used as graspers but not as walking utensils.
Bat = All but one of the fingers were turned into wings. The thumb is largely useless, except for providing a small weapon in battle.
Full = None of the fingers were spared when transforming into wings.
Letters:
Each animal comes with 4 letters, often unique to them. However, two animals with matching letters are siblings, and if two animals share two letters, one of them is the parent. If two letters in one animal are the same, their immunity is low. If all four letters are the same, a mutation occurs.

You can call for various things: You can request to send certain animals to go hunting, gathering, exploring, etc. You can also request that two animals reproduce. Each animal only lives for 20 days, and a female takes 3 days to recover from giving birth (it also takes 3 days for the offspring to become a reproducing adult). I'll be using a random number generator to decide most of the things that occur. All generators will be out of 100:
-Hunting: 50/50 chance of finding prey. Each gene has its own percentage that ties into the successfulness of the hunt. If their numbers add up to 65 or higher, the prey is caught.
-Gathering: 100% chance of finding something, but a 50/50 chance of it being poisonous. Whoever it is given to becomes ill.
-Exploring: 75% chance the draga runs into something dangerous. 50/50 chance of them getting injured, ad 80% chance that the injury will kill them.
-Reproduction: Draga litters consist of 1-5 young. However, failed matings are common, and offspring can die from external means.
If you request an event that I haven't listed here, that's fine! I'll make up a new generator for that event, in case it comes up again. So don't be afraid to think outside the box!
