Pyralignment System

The Pyralignment System is a system of gender alignment intended for use by dragonkin who feel that they experience gender in a uniquely dragon-like way. It is not exclusive, however, and may be used by anyone whose gender relates to or is influenced by dragons, or who just likes the system's aesthetic.

The names of the system and the genders are inspired by the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland, but one is not required to be a fan of or even know anything about Wings of Fire to use the system.

The alignments are all meant to be used as adjectives. To use one as a noun, remove the "-ic" ending.

Alignments

 * Pyronoctic (draconic masculine)
 * "Firey Night," named after NightWings
 * Pyroceanic (draconic feminine)
 * "Fiery Ocean," named after SeaWings
 * Pyromeritic (draconic neutral)
 * "Fiery Desert," named after SandWings
 * Pyrolutic (draconic androgynous)
 * "Fiery Mud," named after MudWings
 * Pyroglacic (draconic outherine)
 * "Fiery Ice," named after IceWings
 * Pyridic (draconic xenine)
 * "Fiery Rainbow," named after RainWings
 * Pyrocaelic (draconic unaligned)
 * "Fiery Sky," named after SkyWings

Combinations
Combination Alignments can be made by stringing together multiple "alignment partials" in order from least to most important, with the most important alignment at the end followed by "-ic." The individual alignments may all be experienced at one time, or one may be fluid through them.

Alignment Partials

 * noct(o)-
 * ocean(o)-
 * merit(o)-
 * lut(io)-
 * glac(io)-
 * id(o)-
 * cael(o)-

Example Combinations

 * Pyromeritoceanic: primarily feminine, secondarily neutral
 * Pyrolutidic: primarily xenine, secondarily androgynous
 * Pyridonoctolutic: androgynous, masculine, and xenine

Demi, flux, and fluid Alignments
Partial alignments are represented by placing "ap(io)" (bee, named after HiveWings) at the beginning of an alignment combination. Examples include:


 * Pyroapionoctic: demi-masculine
 * Pyroapidiolutic: demi xenine and androgynous

To indicate that one's alignment fluctuates in intensity, the suffix "folic" (leaf, named after LeafWings) is used. Examples include:


 * Pyromeritiofolic: neutral, with fluctuating intensity
 * Pyridoceanofolic: xenine and feminine, with fluctuating intensity

Pyropapilic (butterfly, named after SilkWings) describes a person who is fluid through, or otherwise experiences, most or all of the alignments in the Pyralignment System. One can also opt to add the alignment they identify with most, if applicable. Example:


 * Pyroceanopapilic: most or all alignments, but with a focus on feminine
