Oh god oh god oh god this will be in front of millions of people.
And I'm completely unsure if it's good or not.
Will someone from the future post telling me before I post this?
No?
Damn. Oh well.
Anyway, I
do hope you guys counted correctly on stats, because I'm not going to take the time to find out if you did by myself.

[1 oh man, freaking RNG]: Today is a strange day. Usually, it's mostly quiet around with some monster coming and stomping around once an a while. This time, out of nowhere, tiny stomps came at an unusual time. I wonder- *SLICE! CRACK* A blade smacks your head, and slices your stomach, getting past the scales and cutting into flesh. No! You were just born! You're too young to die!
"GET AWAY FROM MY CHILD YOU BARBARIC HUMAN!" Something roars, and smashes the small creature away. The large creature breaks open the egg and softy drags you out. You cry in pain. You're bleeding. You won't die, but you're certainly not in a good state. The large creature lunges at the small one, and... the small one cuts deep into the large one! Oh no! But, the large one screams again. "DIE!" And smashes her tail into the small one with all her might. The small one does not move again.
You, sadly, loose 5 strength, agility, intelligence, and toughness... At least... you're still...
alive. [1, are you kidding]: "At least it wasn't father... I don't think I would've been able to hold him off, my... son. My wonderful, wonderful son. Ever since that human casted that spell, he's never been the same..." The large creature strokes you, trying to calm you back to sleep. It doesn't work. Several hours later, you are hungry and in mild pain, but the larger creature isn't moving. She's breathing somewhat shallowly, but she's stopped bleeding. You can walk... barely.

[5 wow, double 5]: It's time... you've been feeling the urge to leave for days, but you decided to finish every bit of your Egg white before leaving, knowing instinctively that you need to get a head start. It's been very comfortable, But now, it's time to leave. Tapping your home all around, you find a weak point and PUSH (intelligence is highest stat, higher than agility or strength)! You burst out, upside down. Above you, is a very big creature. She gasps, excited and surprised at the same time. She looks at you in the face, closely. "Messy child, aren't you?" She jokes. You bubble with your mouth, confused. "You are... a boy!" She says, excited. "A beautiful, beautiful boy." [3] "If only your father were here... He's never around for me anymore."
"I didn't think you were strong enough to get out of that egg. You sure are a smart, and strong boy." She says happily.
For that 5, enjoy +5 Strength, agility, intelligence, and toughness.

[6]: "Is it time?" "I don't know! I told you you should've got Johnny, not Adams!" "Hey, I thought he knew dragons well." "No, he said DRAKES, as in, DUCKS YOU MORON." "Well, I don't think I could push him back to his mum, and she'll be pissed if he be missing." "I agree. We have no choice. Get the sword." *Slice!*
The world comes to you at the speed of... well, light. As you fall out of your egg, you see three blurry figures slightly bigger than you. "Oh, look at the little guy!" The one on the left, with the sword, says. "What be with his single horn? Don't dragons have two?" The one on the right says "Usually, but not all the time." The one in the center says. You stand, confused. "Can he walk?" The one on the right says. He walks away and gestures to you. "Come here, little guy. Come here. Come, come." You are so confused. You walk to the man. "He can walk. Quickly, get him back to his mum." One of the other two says.
The three figures tie a rope to your neck. You protest mildly, but they calm you down. Barely. Next, they walk you up a steep hill. Where you trip and strain a leg. "Come on, fella, you're almost home. It's just a wee sprain." The man who was in the center pulls you lightly. You follow, not being able to do much else. Eventually, you enter a big cave. "Now, sit here and wait for mum." The one that was on the left unties your neck, pets you, and insists you stay when you start to follow him. Eventually, you get the point and sit. The man pets you one more time. "Hurry up! His mother be coming back soon!" The one on the right says. Later, a large figure enters the cave. "Oh my, you hatched while I was away!" She says. "Ma ma." She says. You are absolutely positively confused. [2] "If only father were here, he would know what to do to make you talk..." She backs away a little and then says "Mommy is going to go to nearby village for tribute. Wait here and eat this." She drops a piece of red meat. You are confused. "Oh, and your name is Scientia Addo. I was thinking of so many names, but that one I just loved for a girl's name."
What is going ooooooon?Oh, some other thing is cracking strangely. Hm... (That's Elfeater/Nelar, by the way. He gets born after mother gets back. You two are the only two who have the same mother).
Well. That was a strange adventure. For all that talking that went on, you learned a lot about how to talk. Gaining 10 Charisma and 5 Intelligence. For straining your leg so young, however, you loose 5 agility and 5 toughness.

[4]: Another day in your home... it's getting kinda small for you. You're getting an urge to get out. So you try cracking the egg by striking in a circle (high agilityz). It works. You struggle to get out, though: You underestimated your size! You cry a little while a big creature carefully chips away a larger hole for you. When you are freed you gurgle happily a little as the big creature inspects you. "Oh... son! I'm so glad you're out. I've been so anxious! You don't know what it's like to wait several months, knowing that a little bundle of joy is waiting to burst out into the world!" She says happily. "What do you want you want for your name oh little one?" "Ce... vit... el..." You bumble randomly. "Cevitil! ...That's a great name." [6] "Hopefully your father can get rid of those little people following him around and pop in to see us."
The average birth nets you only 5 points of agility.

[1, oh my]: "HOW DARE YOU MATE WITH HIM?!", you hear very loudly. You taste your first sense of fear. "I WARNED YOU NOT TO MATE WITH MY RIVAL, AND NOW YOUR CHILD WILL HAVE TO PAY!" *CRASH* Your home breaks and you fly out onto the ground. "NO!
STAY AWAY FROM MY BABY YOU BASTARD!" Despite the extreme headache you have, and the pain thoughout a large part of your body, you manage to look at two figures fighting. One is smaller than the other, but fighting ferociously. In the fighting, red dots to occasionally fly from each, and afterwards they scream. This continues for a few minutes. Until... "
GET OUT!" The smaller one strikes very, very hard at the other. The other, grasps his body, and leaves quickly. "YOU... BITCH!" He screams defiantly.
The aftermath is not pretty. Already, some of your rib bones are broken. Some muscles are bruised, and your head took a severe beating. In addition, you weren't due to leave home yet, and that did not help. All in all, you loose 5 strength, agility, intelligence, and toughness.
[3]: "If only your father was here." The smaller figure speaks, standing over you. Bleeding severely. "He doesn't care for either of us, my child..." She tries to calm you, as you cry in pain. You barely manage to stand a few hours later. Your mother isn't so lucky, and is too hurt to take care of you right now. It's up to yourself to try and survive... What a horrible introduction to the world.

[1, I'm not rigging these, I swear]: All is quiet. As you continue eating what food is left in your egg. That doesn't last as a hammer smashes in the egg, sending you flying out the other end crying. A large creature roars in anger and charges the small creature. The small creature smashes the large one in the chest, sending the large one reeling before she hits the small creature with her tail. The large creature tries to walk over to you, but she falls down half way. [5, father to the rescue!]: Suddenly, another large creature enters the cave, and looks over the other large one. They stare at eachother mumbling gently before the new one walks over to you. "How could anyone do this to you, my daughter?" "I swear they shall pay. I swear, my daughter Nuvian."
You did not take the hammer hit well. Loosing 5 strength, agility, intelligence, and toughness.
On the other hand, having your father around will net you more stats if he teaches you things and you pay attention.
Additionally, I just realized you thought you gained intelligence via head and claws. That is definitely
not correct. You also had 20 points remaining. So I put them all into Int to simplify things.

[3, at least it isn't a 1!]: Why! Why! Why must you leave your home! It's so warm... sure, there isn't any food left, but it's so warm! *Crack* Oh no your home! *Crack* "Come on, my child, it's time to leave." A creature says to you. No! You want to stay! "I gave birth to you, you owe it to me to make yourself worth it."
Your mother forces you from your egg. "Eat." She drops a red thing in front of you. It's cold! Eww! You don't want to eat it! "EAT IT. Come on, I'm not going to babysit you." The large creature says to you. You don't understand. "Oh wait, baby... doesn't know English." She says. "...Roaarar?" She tries again. You don't understand! Your baby brain is-*Gag* She stuffs the red thing into your mouth and down your throat! You cry for a few minutes. "What should I name you, my baby?" She says. You, coughing after crying for a long time, accidentally say something like "Kin". "Ahhhh, I know, Kin! Simple and easy. So I won't have a hard time remembering your name. Well, Kin, I hope you're ready to spend the rest of my life repaying me for me giving you life." You stare, confused at the last sentence.
[1, oh for god's sake RNG] "I hope you're ready to defend yourself, Father is coming back sometime soon, and he's not going to like the fact that you look mostly like me."
Oh, what a way to join the world: Bad mother, worse father...

[5, lucky you]: The home you knew for all your life so far is getting too big. It's been a very warm home for a long time. But you are quickly getting an urge to break out of it, and you cannot resist. You struggle against the walls of your home, cracking them by hitting in vulnerable spots (agility is highest attacking stat). Eventually, you get out. DAMN IT'S COLD. Well, colder than your home. Not unbearably cold. With your blurry eyes, a big creature comes over you. "Oh my dear!" She says as she pats the wet Egg white from your back. "You're finally out, I didn't even have to help you." She says. The words mean nothing to you as you are too young to understand. She puts her face up to yours. You actually get to see her face for the first time, blue and smooth. "Ma ma." She says. You make a dragon-coo, vaguely sounding like... of course... Ma ma! You said your first word so quickly! "Oh my dear!" Her voice breaking. She seems extremely excited. You just sit there confused, but smiling. "What should I name you?" She looks intently. You respond, cooing, "Neeeh, neeeeeeh", not knowing that these few moments are the most important of your life. She responds "Neh?" You finalize by saying "Aaaaaaaa, rrrrr." as you reach for her face. "Nelar..." She says, looking at you closely and smiling. "Welcome to the world, my daughter!" She says, making a sort of hug. You are confused.
[4], OVERRIDDEN BY SAME FATHER, REPLACED WITH DERMONSTER'S ROLL OF [2] DUE TO COIN FLIP: "Your father would've been be overjoyed to see you. Too bad he never will..."
"Go see your brother, over there." She shoves you towards a creature that looks vaguely like you. (Dermonster/Scientia Addo).
For getting such a great start, you gain 5 Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and Charisma.

[3]: Om nom nom n-wait, what the- OH MY GOD SOMETHING PLUCKED YOU OUT OF YOUR EGG. It's big, and... stroking you?
"Come on, you've taken ten more days than the average hatch rate. It's time to leave." The monster says. She sighs. "You've got a lot ahead of you, you shouldn't waste time." You cry, still confused. She continues stroking you. "You're not helping my self confidence." [2] "If only father were still around, he might be able to calm you with one of his songs... Man do I miss him despite him being an absolute... something..." You continue crying.
The creature sighs once again. "Calm down, dear Anthramarux. It'll be alright." You continue crying until your mouth is dry and the creature gives up on trying to comfort you and leaves. Then decide to stop.
This 3 birth nets you no bonuses.

GOOD GOD THAT TOOK A WHILE. IF IT SUCKS I'M SORRY BUT THAT WAS EXTREMELY TEDIOUS FOR SOME REASON. Maybe it was trying to find out 9 ways to describe breaking out of an egg?
Anyway, if you guys are confused as to where you are, it's simple; you're all in the cave you were born in. Go be the curious little dragon you are. Every action will have an effect. Unless it's just standing in place or sleeping.
I'll give this phase 5 turns, then we'll move onto the slightly-more-intelligent-character-phase of Childhood.
As I'm still working on the map, I'll wait before rolling a dice to decide where you are in the world.
