“This machine will make you a character avatar in any color you want, as long as it’s Dragonborn.” —Gimli Fjord

1. What is your project, and what problem does it solve? (max 100 words)

<aside> ✨ In D&D, it is compulsory to create an environment that your character embodies, including an avatar. This isn’t easy for first-timers or people with lack of time or imagination. Our tools will help players with this.

“Operation Dragonborn” is the next step after our Top Quality Chainlink Hackathon project D&D Diffusion. Our sprint is focused on the narrow objective of training an AI art generator to understand the specific branded D&D term “Dragonborn.”

We want to create usable, unique, AI generated visual assets for a game that’s played by 50 million people a year. We are going to bring people together to play games, inspire creativity and save time. Tabletop roleplaying is a multibillion dollar industry and not enough of it is decentralized. Our future platform will connect AI generated art to an NFT marketplace for human artists and allow us to participate in the ongoing conversation about art and media and the role of AI in art creation.

3. How is IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology used in this project? (max 200 words)

Right now in our MVPr, we used NFT.Storage to allow the user to programmatically save their AI generated avatar to decentralized storage, returning the CID after it’s stored to the front-end and enabling the minting of an NFT of that avatar.
