Okay, so.. There's been a fair bit of staff interjections now and I'm still confused. According to what Jack wrote, a draconic crossbreeding is an action with consequences and what Renathan wrote is basically a hard no on even attempting. So.. which exactly is it, Official Staff Call-wise? Is it a hard no or an action with consequences?

It is consequences for an action. As I quote:
"Crossbreeding would violate the pact and there are IC-consequences of Violating this Pact."
As in; the ones that Jack wrote are the consequences.

To clarify;
We as staff are saying hard no.
If it is done anyway, since we cannot physically restrain, ICly there are consequences.

Ah, gotcha. To further clarify on those points (because one can never predict when users actually want to risk things and I'd like to stay informed enough to let them know if it ever comes up again), a character who purchases a draconic crossbreeding and suffers the consequences (Draconics taken away, expulsion and ban from the Canyon ICly), what would happen to the crossbreed itself inside the Labs? Are the consequences strictly limited to Canyon-side? And how far do those consequences extend? Such as, if the crossbreed is traded or sold to another party, is that other party also subject to the same consequences?

I would like to preface this by saying I do hope people won't directly violate a ruling such as this, but theoretically speaking, the Labs does not care as much what they do. They already do this to harachiu and tat lung - they used to be restricted in crosses and cost more, but since that was lifted they're common place. So the labs MML side dont have the same moral restrictions.
The cross would never be allowed in the Draconic section, the people involved would be shunned for participating, and personally I would think it would extend to anyone owning one regardless of trading or selling. Labs wouldnt do anything, they're into slavery. Individuals might shun but that's all ic choice.
Edit; that said, there is no ill will toward anyone for thinking of or wishing to participate in this cross originally, and this ruling is Draconics only, everything else that is covered my MML is up to Darky as usual. No changes are made, just a ruling on a new topic that has not been brought up before.

Gotcha, one last one: since the severity of the consequences - of losing one's Draconics for even purchasing/trading for the cross - extends to any and all buyers as well, does that mean the bloodline of said cross is essentially tainted in perpetuity? Or will there be a point where the Draconic blood becomes so diluted it basically no longer exists?

That is a tricky one... I would say the less characteristics the diluted cross has that is similar to the original parentage, the easier to look over, but staff would have to discuss in full detail and possibly a cross by cross basis. Things to look at would be any traces of draconic magic or appearance.

In terms of draconic magic, I did not intend to have the crossbreed inherit it directly, but rather replace any spells/breath weapons of the parent with similar or equivalent moves/abilities from MML's side, if it helps any. So no more magical than anything else on MML that uses the same Moves/Abilities system. Probably more appearance-wise then?
