OPEN FOR POSTING

[Sunchaser]

Little Chimaera is a new adoptable shop ^^. It's going to have lots of different species of pets to adopt, all based around the theme of magical chimaera. In this case, a chimaera is a cross breed between two or more animals that wouldn't normally be able to interbreed. These chimaera are produced by mages for any number of specific tasks.

The shop is set in a massive scale city, where technology and magic sit side by side on a daily basis. A real world example of the kind of scale would probably be Lagos, in Nigeria. Currently, our city doesn't have a name. (Maybe you could suggest one?). The city is expansive. On one border, the coast. Another, the estuary of a great river. At its back is a huge elven forest. The borders of the forest exist much like park land, but the core is a secret place, and only certain people are permitted inside by its curators. There's a large and prosperous uptown centre to the city, a hub of travellers and tourists. And then there's the slums, which extend onto the beach and out onto the water of the estuary.

Until then, all suggestions about the city, its inhabitants and laws etc are greatly appreciated. Cheesy I'll also be working on tying it into the Secundi setting better shortly. Probably something like a trading caravan from the shop. Feel free to make suggestions about that, too ^^.

The shop is going to have a seasonal aspect to it. There will be spring, summer, autumn and winter. During these periods the banner and cert colours will change, and there will be one species that you can only obtain in each season. That includes FS, Customs and Events. Colourists will be expected to adhere to these seasons, too. There will be one big event per season, so that there's an opportunity to get these rarer species with special line edits. Watch this space ~





~ Stick to the PIi rules, please.
~ No stealing the artwork.
~ Be nice to each other.
~ Do not post in any of the shop threads in light coloured fonts. I cannot read them, my eyes aren't all that great.
~ No whining or begging, please. Also, no claiming, tagging or discouraging others.
~ Roleplay isn't required for your pets to grow, but there will be an extra stage for active roleplayers among other bonuses.
~ It is not necessary to join the forum unless you want to ^^. All of the sales and large events will be held on PI, although the odd contest might remain forum only. Your pets will still grow and breed the same if you don't have an account.
~ Prizes that aren't claimed after a week will be recycled so someone else has a chance to win them. Prizes are claimed when you fill out the form giving them their name.
~ Do not alter your pet's artwork or cert, please.
~ Chimaera pets currently cannot be traded for anything other than other Chimaera pets. I must always be informed of any trades, so I can change the names on the certs.


I think that's it. As long as everyone is sensible, then we shouldn't need more. If in doubt, feel free to ask ^^. I am always available via PM.

Extra stages and pets will become available as we go along ^^. Anything past three stages will probably need some kind of RP input to achieve. You will have to come back to the thread at the correct times to pick up the growings for your pet. Some pets grow faster than others. If you think you've missed a growing or can't find a thread, either post in a current thread or PM me about it ^^.

Fencats ~ 3 Stages

Newborn ~ Adolescent ~ Adult



Fencats, somewhat a cross between a fennec fox and a longhaired housecat, were created to be sold as luxury pets to rich women. They fit nicely in an oversized handbag and become loyal and affectionate to an owner who has a lot of time and attention for them. Their fur is renowned for being silky soft to the touch and very thick. Because of their spoiled lifestyles, a Fencat would have trouble adapting to life as a feral, but it isn't unheard of. They come in all colours, and the more they're bred the more different mutations are cropping up in their lines.

Fencats can be bred once they reach their adult stage and beyond. It takes one week for them to grown from newborn to adolescent, and two weeks more than that to grow into an adult.



Flits ~ 2 stages

Egg ~ Adult



Sometimes known as 'Dinkie Dragons', Flits are miniaturised versions of their considerably larger mountain dwelling cousins. About the length of a forearm, their speed and intelligence makes them perfect for carrying messages across the city. Although they have no wings, they fly by seeming to swim through the air, twisting into fantastic shapes at high speeds. Despite having a homing instinct and enough intelligence to carry messages long distance, Flits can be scatty creatures and tend to hyperactivity. They crave sugar and high energy foods which help to fuel their active lifestyles.

Flits can breed at their adult stage. It takes one week for them to turn from an egg into an adult.



Ryuki ~ 4 stages

Newborn ~ Puppy ~ Adult ~ Elder



The Ryuki is an exotic gentleman's hunting dog. More exciting than a normal dog, they have higher intelligence and come in many colours. They are swift and agile, but can't resist chasing anything that moves fast. They are high maintenance pets that require a lot of excersize and grooming, because of their long silken hair.



Grim ~ 3 stages

Newborn ~ Puppy ~ Adult



The grim were created as a private comission for one of the most wealthy families of the city. They were owned only by this family until they fell on to hard times and agreed to sell the occasional puppy to bring up their income once more. Breeding projects outside of the family are tightly controlled, and the genepool is very small. They are a very rare species of Chimaera, although sometimes there are odd puppies available in the Autumn.

Grim are mischevious and can tend towards harmful pranks. They are unwaiveringly loyal, and make very good personal body guards as well as house guards. They have a strong sense of their own territory, and form strict hierarchial bonds within their own 'families', which often are made up of other Chimaera as well as people. They are stocky and not very travel sized pets though.

Grim are only available as a species choice on Platinum custom tickets. They can be interbred with Ryuki, but there's more chance of getting a Ryuki pup in the litter than a Grim pup. At some point I might work on some hybrid lines .



Fey Spirits ~ 1 Stage

Adult



Fey Spirits are beings of pure magic that manifest in an often ethereal form. They are born of a single idea or object, and no two are alike. They develop similarities to the idea or object that they were formed around. Spirits such as these are a natural part of living somewhere with a very high concentration of magic. These creatures are very rare, and often can only be seen at certain times of year, or depending on the moon's cycle.

Fey Spirits are very special pets and have their own rules. Each one is uniquely lined, and will never be released again. They can only be bred 3 times in total, but because they are purely magical beings they can breed with any other adoptable regardless of gender. (They do still tend to identify themselves as male or female however.) Most of their babies will be whatever species their partner is, but there is a tiny chance in every Fey breeding that an extra special baby will be born. This chance increases if the Fey is actively roleplayed.

These pets will be available at auction at shop events, and also via very expensive semi custom XD.

[Sunchaser]

K closed! ill be posting lists sometime tommorow ^_^

[Sunchaser]

Everyone who posted a form should have gotten a PM from me with the person your gifting to. If you did not please tell me ASAP!

Also the photobucket should open up sometime tommorow if all goes well. So i shall post the link then as well as the pass.

[Sunchaser]

The photobucket link will be posted tommorow morning. You will have a couple hours to look threw and figure out what you wish to get. It will NOT open till the 23rd around 20:00 PI time.

If i get any pms before that time then i will discard it and not look at it. You can send it exactly at 20:00 but i truthfully would wait till around 20:05 just so the tick has gone threw and its not going to be a minute to early or whatever. There will be a total of 21 Chimaeras maybe a little more considering 21 people have signed up between here and Secundi. As soon as you send the pm Send the pg!

[Ryuukokoro]

[Sunchaser]

Just a note! I just now noticed that Secundi and PI time is different. So to keep it fair what im going to do is open them at the same time going by Secundi/eastern time.

So here are the times the photobucket will be open

PI time:20:00

Secundi: 14:00

Eastern Time:3:00pm

[Neocridders]

3 pm tomorrow night? I hope I'll be home!

[Sunchaser]

yess 3 pm ^_^

[Sunchaser]

k forms been updated a little bit i forgot to put the other choices. Reason being im running this on both here and PI if you couldnt figure that out lol so  i want to make sure everyone has a couple choices. Ill be going back and forth between the sites to make sure that those that sent in pms first will get their first choice and yada. If you dont get the choice you want then ill send you a PM and wait for you to reply agian before i countinue down the list. This way it is fair since i have a party tommorow.

Also for the last 3 or 4 chims that are claimed ill be checking to make sure the colors are not on the giftee's hate list. Reason being i want everyone to be happy and i know someone has to be last. I just hope the last Chim to be claimed is good lol. If for some reason its on the persons hate list of colors then ill do a quick chim based on their form.

[YourLoveOnly]

Huh? What are those new breeds? It would have been nice to have those announced so we could have put in our forms if we like them or not.. Now I am scared to pick a breed my giftie won't like.

--
And oooh, those brown Maneah and Flits are super gorgeous <3

[Pinkshadow]

Ow i missed that you have said it was closed lol ..

Sorry dear <3
- RL is a pain atm

[Sunchaser]

i said a new breed would pop up when i opened the thread. If for some reason someone really doesnt like the new breed then ill contact that persons Gifter(meaning whoever gave them teh gift) And they can send me a semi custom form for what they think the person will like.

[YourLoveOnly]

Huh, where did you say that? I just read through everything and even used Control Find searching for both breed and new to see if I was skipping over it by accident, but I really don't see it.

And are they two new breeds or one breed in different stages?

[hiyoko]

For the person gifting me, the new breed is really cute, especially the male version.^^

[Ryuukokoro]

I think it's one new breed (based on a rabbit maybe?) in a male and female pose.

To my secret santa: just letting you know I like the new rabbit breed. ^^ I also like the breed revealed in the other Santa thread, the panther-like one!

[YourLoveOnly]

I do wonder which pose is which gender then, because some people listed a preffered gender.
I personally don't want them if it's a single breed, as I only like one gender, so I hope whoever is gifting to me will read this.

And Ryuu, you mean Maenah for the panterlike breed? I am so excited those came out, I've stalked them for quite some time. I think it's a really pretty breed.

[Ryuukokoro]

*mod nod* Yeah, those!! Maenah! (Ryuu has such a hard time keeping all the different Chims straight, mostly I just describe them as "wolf-one" or "saluki-one" lol. >.>;; )

Hopefully Sunchaser or someone could make one of those silohette (sp) charts with the color dots so we can tell the gender differences for the new rabbit-ones.

[YourLoveOnly]

I wonder if that is posted somewhere and we missed it.. xD because hiyoko mentioned she especially liked the male

[hiyoko]

I think the running form of the rabbit breed is the male, could be wrong.lol

[Sunchaser]

sorry guys i dissapeared for a little and wasnt able to see what all you said lol.

Yes the rabbit/squirrel species are Male and female. the  running one is in fact the male the other si the female. I have the silloettes but they are on the other comp and im at my parents house so i cant post it up. If you only see a couple of the chims and not all 21 make sure you hit View all. There are only the SS chims in that photobucket so it shouldnt take to long to open up.

To YLO i am so sorry i thought i had said it if you cant find it then maybe i only said it in my mind. So i do apologize for that but yes there is a new breed out. as well as the maenah. I believe i put a couple of those in the SS i hope i did considering i love them to lol.

Ill be doing some frankens or semis later on in the Christmas thread so i hope you all will be around. Ill also be doing a flatsale and/or games in the future for Salt water fish mimic chims. If you wish to see a certian type of fish in the events for the fish feel free to send me a PM with a pic of the fish ^_^

[YourLoveOnly]

Yeah there are two Maenah in there ^^ I am just keeping my fingers crossed, SS is always a surprise and the odds just aren't in my favor this time XD It's okay, I really enjoy the game so it will be fun to participate even if I don't get a pet I desire. I just don't really like the new breed and I also don't really like dark colors so there are only six that don't match up with my dislikes O.o I love the three natural browns and I also like the two red ones and the black one ^^

Luckily I see plenty of cuties I think my SS would like, so I will have fun shopping
And your event ideas sound fun, I'll go PM you a fishie suggestion right now =)

[Neocridders]

Well, in case my secret santa is looking and wondering, I do like the new breed, but the females especially. Otherwise, my form is correct.

[Sunchaser]

just a note going through the forms now for Secundi and PI its going to take a little bit but i am working on it now. If for some reason you dont get any of your choice for your giftee I will send a pm to you and let you choose before i countinue going threw them. that way its fair cause i had family things to do tonight that i forgot about which is why i wasnt on at 3 my time.

[hiyoko]

I sent in my SS form.^^

[Sunchaser]

Okay Only person im missing a form from is JoJo. Once i get a form from her i can send out peoples presents ^_^

[jojo]

Sent now!

Wah, when I saw "can start claiming at 20:00 tommorrow" I thought it meant tomorrow (from today), but now I noticed that you posted that yesterday XD; So I had my form filled out and ready to send for tomorrow, haha. Man these threads move faster than I thought... Lol.

[Ryuukokoro]

Wow everyone did their santa already! That was fast!! ^_^ *proud of everyone!*

[Whimsy]

I dont know if I've totally missed it but what amount of SG do I need to send?

[Sunchaser]

DO NOT REVEAL YOURSELF YET! i want that to be a surprise lol. Ill be posting a list later of who gifted who.


For naming Please send a PM to the account called Siurin. My hubbies account that has way less pms then i do lol.
