''Flight Rising'' is a free VirtualPet/breeding [[SimulationGame sim]] focusing on dragons. It launched on June 9th, 2013, following a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. It was mainly created by Jessica P. "Undel" (the artist and author behind the ''Dragon Art: How to Draw Dragons'' series of drawing books) and Dana P. "Xhaztol". It features nineteen species of dragons, breeding, familiars, apparel, a Coliseum for both monster and PlayerVersusPlayer battles, holidays, and buying and selling dragons.

* BorrowedWithoutPermission: Ridgeback dragons have an entire culture around stealing resources by using tunnels and traps to secure whatever they need, which they consider "borrowing" much to the annoyance of other dragons. If caught, they usually just shrug it off and insist that they would've returned it upon being asked. This mindset was developed thanks to living in a desert.

* ElementalNation: Each flight essentially functions as an individual country ruled over by an elemental dragon deity. A dragon's element is influenced by what elemental energies their egg absorbed from the environment, so outside of [[RareRandomDrop finding eggs from Coliseum enemies and Scavenging]], most arcane dragons come from Starfall Isles, ice dragons come from the Southern Icefield, and so on. The only exception to this are the dragons hatched from the Unhatched Nocturne, Bogsneak, and Banescale Eggs, which function differently from the eggs in the Nesting Grounds since all three types can hatch a dragon of any color and element.

Added tropes, added some context/words to Zero Context Example tropes (ex: Magma Man now has more context), and minor typo/grammar fixes.


* BarrierMaiden: An unusual use is seen in the site's lore--8 of the 11 deities combine to form one.
* BigBoosHaunt: The Ghostlight Ruins Coliseum venue; most of the enemies you face there are ghosts or undead.
* BiologicalWeaponsSolveEverything: The Plaguebringer deity thinks so.

a pillar that held up a magical barrier to protect the world from the Shade.
* BigBoosHaunt: The Ghostlight Ruins Coliseum venue; most of the enemies you face there are ghosts or undead.
undead enemies.
* BiologicalWeaponsSolveEverything: The Both Gladekeeper and Plaguebringer deity thinks think so. Both deities have made powerful virus- or flora-creating weapons that can destroy the entire world if either one is set off, though Plaguebringer is notably the one who frequently dabbles in biological experiments by stirring up new viruses in the Wyrmwound like it's a cauldron. However, it should be noted that the viruses are less like weapons and more of a test of strength against her flight. The Final Infection is just the only one that's deliberately meant to be completely inescapable and cover the planet in the Plague element.



** Dragons have been stealing land and destroying civilizations from Beastclans, who have largely been on the losing end of the fight but have recently resorted to uniting so they can [[FinalSolution eliminate dragonkind]].
** The planet itself is also undergoing some changes that put all of dragonkind at jeopardy in one way or another. Earthquakes are shaking up the Starfall Isles, a mysterious AncientEvil forcing one deity to go underground, peaceful research sanctums being converted into unstable energy reactors, a DracoLich hunting dragons in Sunbeam Ruins, ANOTHER AncientEvil that's on [[MonsterInTheIce the verge of being released from ice]] thanks to earthquakes, portals connecting two enemy flights suddenly being activated, a civil war over resources, a gigantic vortex suddenly changing direction, an entire dragon god going missing without explanation, and the armistice between two ArchEnemy flights was not only violently broken but at least one world-ending BioWeapon is missing. Needless to say, dragons in every flight are beyond stressed.



* EitherOrOffspring: It's impossible to have hybrid dragons because a hatchling can only be born as the species of either parent, which is determined by chance and breed rarity. This doesn't stop players from making their own dragons into hybrids in their written bio or even drawing fan art of what a true hybrid could look like.



* ExtraEyes: Both Plague breeds, Mirrors and Aberrations, have some extra eyes in one way or another. Mirrors have an even number of four eyes, two of which have normal vision but the smaller ones grant them thermal vision, which can cause them to get [[BizarreAlienSenses blinded on occasion by seeing too much heat]]. The two-headed Aberration dragons have a surprising total of ''five'' eyes, with one head having two eyes while the other has three.



* FantasticRacism: There are occasional instances of prejudice between dragons of different species and elements in [[AllThereInTheManual the lore of the game]]. The latter is easily explained because of the long history of conflict between the ElementalNation flights, though occasionally more physical-based examples appear, such as the case in the ''Temper, Temper'' short story where one Coatl is called a "snakehead" by a Bogsneak.



* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The site does have official lore but the admins have no interest in enforcing it on players, who have developed a culture of using or ignoring site lore as it suits them. This mostly comes up when players decide to write their own biographies and other lore about their own clans, but does intersect with gameplay - nothing is preventing players who aren't in the Fire flight from breeding their Coatls, nor from having Imperial/Pearlcatcher pairs despite the in-lore animosty between the two breeds, and so on. On the other side of things, the dragon-trading section of the Auction House is strictly a game mechanic and doesn't seem to exist in lore, though this doesn't stop some players with coming up with (often dark or at least [[BlueAndOrangeMorality alien]]) explanations for it.

* MutagenicGoo: This is what sits inside the Wyrmwound. It's so potent that even the mightiest of plague dragons will avoid the substance, fearing they could either die or become mutated if they fell in. Meanwhile, Aberration dragons casually swim in it just to make their bodies stronger, though even they take caution and try to keep their swims minimal and only when necessary.



* SocializationBonus: Subverted. The research notes in Arlo's Ancient Artifacts can unearth one randomized space on a dig site for anyone who ''receives'' them, though they can never be directly used - only shared with other players or turn eight notes into the guild for one extra pickaxe/magnifying glass. Therefore, while players get no guaranteed reward for sharing, it's more ideal to find other players willing to share notes in order to clear their plots faster, thus encouraging players to socialize on the forums and add each other to their friends list in order to send notes back and forth through Arlo.



* WingsDoNothing: The Snapper dragon breed has wings, but is land-bound according to their lore. However, Word of God states that Snappers aligned with Wind can fly by controlling gusts of wind and Arcane Snappers can manipulate gravity. Bogsneaks have it slightly better, but still suffer from an unfortunate body-to-wing ratio.

* LifeDeathJuxtaposition: Subverted. The Nature and Plague flights largely fit this trope since the former is associated with life and growth, while the other represents rot, decay, and illness thanks to their PlagueMaster abilities. However, the Plague flight doesn't embrace death at all due to its "[[SocialDarwinist survival of the fittest]]" attitudes and the Plaguebringer's intolerance of the undead, though that doesn't stop players from playing this trope straight with their own interpretations of Plague and Plague dragons.
