Gryphions



Please send all funds to: paulfulmer@fuse.net
Funds raised: $0

Please include your username in payments. If you send the wrong amount, I cannot send it back, since it costs paypal fees. I would be willing to do something more for the extra money.

While wandering the markets of Secundi, you see an unfamiliar sight. A rather large creature is pacing around, her wings pressed to her side. She seems to be having some sort of problem.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Raina. Some of you know me from the generals market, I have been introducing my kind, Gryphions, to humans. When a gryphion and a human bond to each other, there are special benefits that neither could have without the other. Humans and Gryphions have been bonding only recently since long, long ago, before we came to secundi. The council decided to try it one more time.
So, here I am today. But I have a bit of a problem. The gryphion Head of Council needs human currency. She needs human things, but the human things are not purchaseable with secundi gold. She needs this currency called 'United States Currency'. I don't know what exactly the purpose of these items she needs are, but one was called a tablet pen or something or other. But my problem is that it will cost Two-hundred of these dollars, plus some more for shipping it to our territory! Oh dear. Well, the gryphions love their council. A few decided to step up and trade themselves for some money. If any humans want to bond to these gryphions, they'll get a small gift in return.


Each gryphion 'sold' today will come with a feather. These  feathers are used to make a nest. Each nest will let gryphions breed. A successful breeding when they are bonded to a human will result in three to five younglings.

Similar to lions, they give live birth to the younglings, but similar to eagles, there are usually more than one or two offspring per breeding. Of course, anything can happen. There is no guarentee how many offspring you will get. With a single feather, though, it is usual to get three. With special feathers, you may be able to have a higher chance of a more quantiful litter.

If you are ever interested in breeding two gryphions, please post in the breeding thred once there is one. That means at this point in time you can't breed gryphions. I don't think the council can handle breedings right now, they have to keep watch, you know, and make sure all little gryphions have the right number of toes on each foot and make sure everyone is happy. The council is not ready to have massive amounts of gryphions born yet. But soon, I'm sure this will be available."

Raina gestures with her foot to a stack of paperwork. ((Oh dear.))
"If you are interested in trading a gryphion for this special human currency, please look at all the forms and figure out what you are looking for. I'll leave you to read it over. If you decided to trade your currency for a gryphion, please just fill it out and bring it back to me. I'll be waiting over there. If you don't seem to see something you like, no worry. You are not obligated to trade. You may just look and leave if you want."

She turned and went to a group of humans that just entered the thread.

You look at the paper work. Here are what they say:


2 semi-custom gryphion and a feather ~ $4
Name:
Bonded to:
Gender:
4-5 colors:

Copy the form twice, please

2 full custom gryphion and a feather ~ $7
Name:

Gender:

To breed two gryphions without using a feather ~ $5
Results in 3-5 younglings, you may only keep up to three younglings. Please find other homes for the other babies. You may trade the babies for adoptables, other gryphions (adults will need to purchase the bond breaking item,  it will be 5k for now), or any secundi items/pets. Later, gryphions will be able to be traded for currency too, but we are not ready for that yet.
(No feather required)

If you need to use someone else's gryphion in a breeding, please just post here for now granting permissions and such. Breedings don't usually cost money like this, but if you want to have a breeding now (since it is not available now) and help me gain funds for a new tablet pen, plus you won't need a feather item now, this is the price.

If you are sending money, please please please if you are ordering more than one thing send it as ONE payment. It will tax multiple payments, so less money for me. :/

Paypal only. Email is posted at the top of the thread.


Need a gryphion or two in order to purchase a breeding? If no one is interested in letting their own gryphions be studs/RBs, I can provide (imaginary) parents for your litter. The fee for this is a dollar per gryphion used in breeding (on top of the breeding cost)
. So, if you need a male, you'll only need to pay one more dollar. Both a male and female would be two extra dollars on top of the base fee. If you are interested in this offer, message me.

Raina sees you wander over to the gryphions standing around. She walks over and explains.
"If you are interested in bonding with any of these gryphions, they'll bond for the price of $3.50 each, but they will come with two feathers each. So, two litters of gryphions in the future in addition to a new gryphion partner. What a deal, yes? Each gryphion is $3.50 of your human currency. As they get sold, more gryphions may be put for trade."

Three male gryphions are standing near each other. They seem very friendly. They are smiling and looking at you and the other humans standing there.

Each one has a little paper by it's front foot and has a codename on it. These are not their names, so feel free to name them something else if you buy them. These are just to distinguish what gryphion you are buying.

Codename:Tirithon


Codename:Authion


Codename:Rochendil

Raina seems to be able to write. She has a list of what everyone has purchased here. It seems to be an erasable board, very fancy. She has a note writen here:

'None'

sera sneaks in and pulls out her own signs and forms.  "The Naa are also willing to help out the Head of Council (whom i shall refer to as Talon, just to do it), and, as such will allow me to search for traits you may want to adopt and bring back as close to matching as i possibly can.  Please make sure you check the information below for the different types available."

Prices adjusted, as I noticed some mistakes. Most prices if not all have been lowered. If anyone wants just 'single' customs, we'll need to talk it out. The price alone would be too low to be worth it, since it would just be eaten by the paypal fees. If it is with another order, then this may possibly work. Just let me know.
