Adoptables Website, Work in Progress
http://littlechimaera.webs.com/

Welcome to the Christmas thread for adoptables shop, Little Chimaera. You might have seen some of the artwork/ideas knocking around on Gaia, but I can prove that it's mine (I have the original sketches) and none have ever been sold/given away before now. LC is also available on PI  ^^.
Scroll down for games and such.

OPEN FOR POSTING

[Kage Davies]

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 Secundi 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.

[Kage Davies]

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 .

Maenah ~ 4 stages

Newborn ~ Adolescent ~ Adult ~ Elder/Runner



Maenah text coming soon .

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.

Yup, that's right, as a Christmas treat everyone is allowed to download the files and paint themselves one flit exactly how they want it. This event is completely free ^^. You should try and save it transparent as a PNG, and then post the link in the thread along with its name and owner so that I can cert it for you ^^.

If you don't have photobucket, you can email me your coloured piece at kagedavies@gmail.com.

If you are unable to colour your own, you can ask someone else to colour one for you and it won't count towards their one pet limit ^^. You can also give your colourings away.

Enjoy ~

This is a completely different Secret Santa to the one that Sun is running.

Basically, you can buy up to five Secret Santa slots, but they MUST be for other people . Each slot costs 5000sg, and each slot will have an awesome prize behind it. As close to Christmas day as I can, I will post the prizes. I'll add more slots as we go, if I need to.

You have to name your gift . You don't have to say that its from you, just leave the section blank if you want to.

To buy a slot, post the following form and send me the 5000sg;

The flatsale will take place on 26th Dec, Boxing Day, and onwards.

The cost of these pets at Flatsale is 4k.The Flatsale is first come first serve, so you must make sure you do this or someone else might get in and snatch your pick.

There is a one pet per person per flatsale limit. You may claim on behalf of a friend as long as you post saying so in advance. This counts as that friend's one pet choice. This limit is not lifted if new pets are added, so pick wisely.

Pertinent Information ~ Some of these FS pets (Coloured by me) have twins for sale on PI

Gemini paired siblings are Chimaera with identically marked starting forms, who grow into differently but similarly marked adults. They always come in pairs, and they always consist of one of each gender.

Chimaera who have identically marked starting forms are always siblings, although this may not be obvious in first generation examples.
