The Race

Desert Triathlon

This triathlon takes place in desert crater with an oasis at the center. There will be a flying, ground, and aquatic section.

There are 10 team spots open for this race.

Special Rules


This race involves three different terrains: air, water, and land. In order to enter your Samanayr into the triathlon, you must create a team with other users with a Samanayr suitable for each terrain type. For example: one Lamanayr(for air portion), one Aquatic(for water portion), and one Kirin(for ground portion) You can of course enter any species into the water and ground portions; however, certain species may be at a disadvantage for certain terrains such as an aquatic running the ground portion or a fire elemental doing the water portion. For the flying section, only Samanayrs able to fly may enter.

- Team must contain three Samanayrs, each entered by a different user
- Only one ‘magical’ species per team (Mystic, Misery, Elemental, etc)
- Only flying Samanayrs may enter the air section of the triathalon
- Each member of a team must submit an application form
- If you would like to enter for a random team, just put random for team name and members

The previous triathlons can be viewed here and here if you're interested.

Prizes!


Medals for the triathalon are slightly different from normal races. Only the first place team will receive a triathlon medal, one for each participating Samanayr. Second and third place team members will each receive a modiem, of choice and random respectively.

Image Triathlon Triplet Amulets: 10% chance of triplets, and gives the wearer a special trait as listed below.

Triathlon Fancy Feathers Amulet - Gives the wearer three fancy feathers.
Triathlon Multiple Eyes Amulet- Gives the wearer a third eye.
Triathlon Multiple Tails Amulet - Gives the wearer the Multiple Tails trait.
Triathlon Multiple Horns Amulet - Gives the wearer the Multiple Horns trait.
Triathlon Seraphim Amulet - Gives the wearer the Seraphim trait.
Triathlon Triple Hooves Amulet - Gives the wearer the Triple Hooves trait.
Triathlon Body Spines Amulet - Gives the wearer a set of three body spines.
Triathlon Gems Amulet - Gives the wearer three gems on their body.

There is one of each amulet available and members of the winning team will need to agree amongst themselves on which amulet to get, one per team member.

Looking for a team! I would prefer to use my Illiayr, so that's a magical type, correct?

I'm pretty sure Illiayr are not magical, the glow is explained in their species info as a result of bioluminecent lichen.

I think the magical species are Mystics, Miseries, Mysteries, Sibyls, Healers and Elementals. Shifters and Minayr might also be considered magical what with the shape-shifting and teleporation respectively.

I would love to use one of my Aeronayrs for the flying portion if anyone needs a flying teammate :3

Also I believe Kirins might be magical too, with their psychic abilities? Not sure how that would help in a race, but still. xD

Don't forget you can enter for a random team. Also, feel free to state preferences for example if there are two of you who can't find a third team member, just mention in your form somewhere that you'd like to be placed with "X" and I'll do my best to put you on the same team if the logistics work out.

@Esperanza - amazondreamer is correct, you would be perfectly fine using an Illiayr on the same team as a magical species.

Retta and I are looking for one person to be on our team. We haven't settled on which sams we're using and have a variety available. Just contact one of us, tierasa or Operetta.

EDIT: We have our third member. Thanks, Foxy!

Heeeey Ori, wanna team up? :3 I kinda want to see how well this girl would do in the flying portion. I don't have any Deserts for the running portion of the race. :(

Question! So what species count as magical? Mystic, Mystery, Elemental - Any others? Probably Sybil, Shifter, and Healer... What about Kirins?

@Jaes - Well, for the sake of the race, lets say: Mystic, Mystery, Misery, and Elemental for sure, also Shifter, Minayr, Sibyl, and Kirin, as their abilities could potentially help in a race. Healer I think I will allow since their abilities wouldn't really be of too much help in a race. But I am definitely open to suggestions if anyone has a different idea.
