Title is a joke :D

SO because I hate myself, I'm going to start a personal hard mode breeding project. This thread is to track rules for myself as well as a place to put allowed markings/bases/eyes/skins so I can actually find them when I need them 🙃 this is not to be confused with the official hard mode breeders, I dont know their rules. This is hard mode for me specifically.

If anyone else wants to try it they can! Otherwise you can just watch me suffer. This project will begin either when I finish my current project or give up on him and chase everyone and start over. Again. 🫠

Hopefully this will be a way to share NCL Exclusive love! Maybe give our wonderful art team some incentive to give us more NCL BO traits, maybe not, but plan is to keep it relaxed and fun :3


✨Rules✨

- NCL Exclusive and Groupies Only
- All project kings must be G1 (steps may be kinged but may not breed until heritage replaced)
- No inbreeding
- No obvious chased (exception: chased groupies allowed)

Apricot, Banana, Cosmic, Dawn, Draconid, Grape, Hets, Neutron, Preon, Starshine, Stellar, Sunglow - Groupies/Celestial Lionesses

Note: July eyes ONLY allowed from Celestial Lionesses, exception Cosmic, may be combo bred as a natural result of parent eyes IF parent/s are NCL derived.

✨Manes✨

Pariah, Savage, Tsavo - Maneater

Royal - Combo

Royal is a combo, so to allow for combo breeding mane apps may be used ONLY until Royal passes. For aesthetic reasons I'll probably use Barbary or Sideburn.
