omg it topic is so old, i thought it was died, but.........
its alive!!!!!!!!!!

also i still want to turn into a dragon

Impossible.

Nothing is impossible

Turn into a dragon?

It's simple, really.

You go to the edge of a cliff.
Chant what you wish to become three times.
Once you have chanted; close your eyes and jump off said cliff.

Once you're close to reaching the bottom of the cliff and reaching your certain doom; imagine that you have wings as quickly as you can.

Soon you will find yourself flying and that you're a dragon!

I just spit out my tea.

WHAT.

this topic must be the oldest topic (with out a sticky) on ds

...........................................No.

^Proof:

//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=1390

It's four years old.

Oh daym, proof!

wow a four year topic, and its still being used. That must be hard to do, I couldnt wait four years and post on the same topic that was started so long ago,(if it where me who started it, then it probly whouldnt last but a few months) wow, longest conversation ever(that I've seen)

Nope. The only reason why it isn't closed is because there's only one page on that forum. The topic has to be passed at least two pages to be closed.

it's impossible to turn into a dragon. at least i guess.
at least try it in your dreams, ROFL.
(oh, written on the stars, a million miles away.)
when they start the "wing implantation" experiment, get in the line!
(lol...)

It's possible. If you're a human-dragon hybrid.

why am i reading this?

Here's an older one.

^Oh, wow.

some people tried that, and they fell to there deaths

@aran, obviously you haven't seen peter pan. you need faith, trust, and pixie dust to fly, therefor you need faith, trust, and dragon droppings to be a dragon!

You need ergot and tongue of lizard. Then, eat the tongue followed by the ergot.

omg this topic is so old

Actually, it's possible although immensely difficult.

It would require extraordinary knowledge of genetics, but by making your DNA change bases so the traits are added is possible.

You need an ora or iguana for study of where the scales are determined in the genetic code. Then, you nanoconstruct adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine (For RNA use uracil). You carefully swap bases out until you get all needed cells implemented in EXACTLY the right area (Otherwise you are likely to die or have permanent disfigurement of some sort). For every cell, it is imperative you take no longer than maybe 6-8 hours, or cell division will start. If successful, you WILL have scales PERMANENTLY. For life.

Cytosine, Adenine, Guanine, Uracil, and Thymine all show their formula's on Wikipedia or other such sites. For the next one, you must find out how to make limbs on your back. Careful examination of insect species should result in a match. Do all necessary DNA and RNA changes to the appropriate places.

The next part is tricky. You must find a way to correspond the new limbs as wings of an immense Java bat to the hexapedal gene. That should allow you, if done carefully, rapidly, and right, to have permanent wings. You will need to be SURE blood can flow to and through the wings, otherwise they will become necrotic and gangrenous, and you will die. You will need to apply significant growth hormone to the wings, and exercise them on a daily basic. They need to be very, VERY strong to sustain flight. Once this is all done, your wings will be permanent, but you'll need to find a way to change them so they grow scales.

This part is simple. You need to get the fangs of a snake into your DNA structure of your tooth (replicating the fangs' DNA pattern, so more base swapping). Once that is done, do the same thing with an ora's tail, and apply that to your DNA system (Likely an addition somewhere, you'll need to double-check before you start any of this). Lastly, apply to your fingernail DNA the DNA changes needed to replicate and ora's claws. At that point, your fangs, tail, and teeth will be permanent.

The final part is the most difficult attempt I have heard of in reconstructive biology. I've never heard of any fire breathing animal, but I would assume you would have to find genes that line the throat in a hard, thin rock-like material (but not made of rock) as to not be flammable, and change your respiratory system so that when you exhale, you have a conscious ability to tap into a phosphorous pocket at will, using a fleshy flap that seals it (preferably a muscle). That will cause the phosphorous to go out of your mouth, and ignite in air since phosphorous burns when exposed to air. Being that none of these traits exist used to make the fire breath in known creatures of any type, it is extremely dangerous.

Before you go off doing this, let me tell you that, in all my years I've studied biology, I have never considered recommending this to ANYONE. It is extremely dangerous and requires completely perfect precision, along with years and years of genome and trait study. You would have to ARTIFICIALLY find out what makes the fire breath traits. If you make a SINGLE base wrong, you will probably die. If you don't work fast enough, your work will need to be redone. If everything doesn't go absolutely perfect, you won't live to regret it. This is the most dangerous, difficult, and complicated task in all of nanotechnology and biology a a whole: Restructuring your DNA. You aren't redefining ONE trait, but about SEVEN.

That means you will be working on each one for days on end to complete EVERY change to EVERY cell needed. You can't stop anywhere short of making yourself a full dragon once you've started. If you stop at ANY POINT, you WILL die. I cannot stress enough... unless you completely know what you are doing, and are dead set on making yourself into a dragon, do not screw with this.

This is changing your entire phylogeny. This is artificially swapping bases of your own DNA. I've been studying biology on a college level for the past decade, and I've never heard of ANYONE doing something of this extraordinary complexity and magnitude. The most advanced scientists of the known world don't dare touch something like this. Although completely doable, it would be the most dangerous attempt of anything in your entire life.

^Hope you got about.....eh....at least a few million bucks lying around your house.

You will die a nerd.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, as I'm a nerd too.

It's actually real science, albeit life-threatening and extremely dangerous science. Though you'd become a dragon, everything would have to be done perfectly. And no, the media would never leave you alone again.

Unfortunately, the claws make fine motor tasks difficult, the tail will often get in the way, everyone will stare, belching and vomiting would both likely result in a bad fire, and the wings would take a lot of getting used to, since the use separate muscles. Worst part is that you can not undo it.

holy carp, this is the first topic i ever posted on O.O

close your eyes.
Clap your hands.
Spin 3 times.
Go to walmart.
Buy a case of beer.
Drink them all.

I don't know. I'm already a dragon, so maybe you need a magical marker for that?

You should give up being a dragon and be a phoenix, phoenixes are epic...

^ and it is still alive!!!!!!!!1

eva heard of the guy who got surgrey to look like a cat? well he had piercings done to put the whiskers into, his whole body was tattoed to look like cat fur, his face was reshaped to look like a cats, and he was going to get attachable robotic ears and a tail.
think he'd be the fulla to chat to bout that stuff.

^ yea i did hear about that, right now he is trying to get a real tail

yeah, then there was a guy who wanted to be a lizard
it was some doco i watched one night

i see why you would want to be a dragon, but wat kind of psychotic demonic person wants to do that? WATS WRONG WITH WAT U HAVE??? and why would u want to look kool but not have a meaning to life or soul? i think dragons are brave, inteligent, and slightly sexy; (yes i just said that) but that doesnt make me want to be one. i am wat i am and unless im sitting on deathrow in prison for something i will burn for one day, and im chosen for this to happen, it will be the ONLY time i ever let that happen; Or unless scientists needed 2 volunteers to be changed to dragons, and repopulate them, but otherwise im not gonna attempt it, (Called dibs on volunteering for male) and if i had a choice of dragon to be, it would be Skye no questions asked.

^my life and body is nothing, im living but im not alive. only having freedom( like a dragon) will free my soul.

I am a dragon. (born in YotD)

Yes, well, not everyone is exactly happy with their life or what they have. Or being human.

@leskati
sexy? dragons are sexy?!? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?
is dis guy sexy? :terador:

opps, i failed. mabey this time? (p.s. i suck at the dragon faces)
:terrador:

oh poop. forget it.

@LevanJess
i guess some people are that way. but im not.

Yes, dragons are sexy. Live with it.

i think they are awsome. not sexy you weirdos.

No. Sexy.

Refer to the 69 laws of Scalism.
