[12.31.08] Cosmic Animalia's New Thread is created, but is closed for the revamp. Cosmic Animalia: What's What in a Nutshell Alright, so you don't want to go through the whole thread to find out what we're about, I understand. Ani are activity required, meaning you have to come back once in awhile, when it is time for them to grow. They are RP optional, but of course you'll be able to reach the fourth Transcendent stage if they are roleplayed. Flatsale cost is 10K for 3 stages and 4 if roleplayed. The pricing is high because the main purpose is to breed the pets for possible uncommon, rare, and mutation type pets. Uncommon and rare types will have line edits and mutation pets will give the shop a new species. New species will not be put into the world until they have been brought in by a breeding. Adopted pets and breedings will have one additional egg stage. Transcendent stages will be aligned towards Ambrosial or Nefarious, each has separate lineart. Basically, the world is called CosAni, which is short for Cosmic Animalia and can be used interchangeably. All inhabitants are called Ani (plural=Anis), though each have a separate species name, like Kitalpha (plural=Kitalphae). In this land, they collect Moonstones, which are the currency of CosAni. They offer the stones to the Moon God, and He grants various potions needed for Ani to grow and breed. --Navigation-- [1] Rules, Announcements, and Quick Description of Cosmic Animalia [2] Story and List of NPCs [3] Pet Info, Growth, and Types [4] Benefits for Thread Activity and Roleplay Info [5] Nursery, Adoptions, and Breeding (Check this for obtaining a pet) [6] Sleeping Moon God, Pond of Prosperity (to grow pets) and Moonstone Mine (daily Moonstone chance) [7] Potions Master [8] Owner's List and Moonstone Collectory [9] About the Owner and Colorists and Customs Info [10] Awards Won and Affiliation [11] Reserved [12] Hiring [13] Miscellaneous [Pg. 2] Events

Click below for quick links to the guild and website.

CosAni is known as the land governed by the Moon. The Moon is their God, and He grants the wishes of the Ani, CosAni's inhabitants, as long as they bring an offering of Moonstones. For this reason, Moonstones are highly sought for and wars have been raged over them. The dreams of having their greatest wishes come true has brought one-a-many into Nefariousness, while others have stayed true and Ambrosial.

When the Moon God is in His waxing stage, He glows bright and yellow. The brightness brings the Night Faerie, Nix, out of hiding to distribute her glowing Moonstones. When the Moon God is in His waning stage, His luster fades and turns grey. The absence of luminescence brings out Nix's twin, Ceres, to bestow her own shadowed Moonstones. The type of Moonstones an Ani has collected will determine whether they become Nefarious or Ambrosial.

Now, young Ani, it is your turn. Will the quest of the greatest treasure in CosAni bring you to Nefariousness?

Everywhere you look, there are Kitalpha galloping about. They are a carefree and playful species. Their long legs allow them to gallop easily through the tall grassy fields of CosAni.

There must be other species around here somewhere...
Anis have an extremely high mutation rate, and some don't look like their parents at all! Perhaps you can find a new species by breeding some Kitalpha?

Click on the names to go to that section.

Sleeping Moon God
The Moon God sleeps all day and all night-- only the sound of Moonstones rattling in his bucket will awaken his sight. He'll open one eye and then the other, counting the Moonstones slowly, but surely. Then his eyes will light up, one after another, and the smile on his face will widen bigger than ever. The Moonstones will disappear before your eyes, and in their place, a big surprise!

Nurse Genevieve
Nurse Genevieve brings new pets into the world, tends the adoption agency, and ensures that expecting Anis' have healthy pups. If you ever have a need for an Ani, go see what Genevieve has in store for you.

Nix the Night Faerie
This special faerie comes every so often to grant Moonstones to those who are active in the thread. Sometimes, she'll drop a Moonstone in the thread randomly and if you are the first to quote the stone, you'll receive it. Other times, she'll grant Moonstones directly to those who RP, win events, or do good deeds around CosAni.

The Potions Master
He's always hard at work in his underground laboratory, I wonder if he ever sees the light of day? Expect to see new potions pop up every so often, but don't expect to ever see him out in the daylight! He sells potions that Anis might need over their lifetime, including various breeding potions and growth potions for the impatient.

* Obtaining a pet: If this is your first time here, you have to wait for a flatsale, event, or the adoption agency in the Nursery to get your first Ani (short for Animalia).

* Flatsale Ani's cost 10,000 for newbies and 8,000 for first FS pet for owners before revamp (Freebie pet owners do not count). Pets from the nursery will start from the baby stage and grow through 3 stages. A transcendent stage (4th stage) after the adult stage is available for roleplayers, and other special people. Its type (common, uncommon, rare, mutation) is given.

* The adoption agency will have pets there when Anis breed and have more offspring than they can keep. Pets from the adoption agency will start from the egg stage. These will be sold in an auction style sale.

* All pets are activity required, meaning you have to come back whenever you want your pet to grow. See Pond of Prosperity for more info. After it reaches the adult stage, you may disappear if you like. I just don't want to be growing pets if you're not even paying attention to them. They are RP optional, which means you may RP for benefits of growing into the Transcendent stage and Moonstones for freebies.

* Egg: Only parents who breed will obtain an egg. An egg is able to hatch after 2 weeks.
* Baby: All Anis from the nursery start from this stage. A baby is able to grow into an adolescent after 3 weeks.
* Adolescent: An adolescent is able to grow into adult after 5 weeks.
* Adult: Anis are able to breed only at this stage. An adult might be able to become Transcendent if they are RP active.
* Transcendent: Is your pet destined for greatness? Only the most brave-of-heart have a chance at this future, and they must be RP active! Transcendent Anis are unable to breed.

How to grow your pet
You might have noticed that there are no longer time periods at which your Ani will grow! You have to come back after the time periods stated above and peer into the Pond of Prosperity to see if you have earned the rites to pass onto the next stage.

Species

* Common: The most abundant pet type in CosAni, probably because they are capable of producing the most pups per litter. Common pets do not have line edits of any kind, but that does not mean they are not special!
Offspring ratios: 60% Common // 26% Uncommon // 10% Rare // 4% Mutation
* Uncommon (1-2 pups): These second most abundant pets of CosAni have light edits, most typically, horns.
Offspring ratios: 30% Common // 42% Uncommon // 20% Rare // 8% Mutation
* Rare (1 pup): This type has sprouted wings and taken to the skies.
Offspring ratios: 38% Common // 20% Uncommon // 30% Rare // 12% Mutation
* Mutation (1 pup of new species): The rarest of the rare! These pets have multiple mutations that cause them to be categorized as a new species! They might resemble their parents, though they might not at all! If a mutation pet has been chosen when breeding, a new species will be introduced to the world. When a cert says Mutation as the pet's type, it was the first of its species!
Offspring ratios: 100% Common new species
* Cosplay/Customs with edits (cannot be bred): They are not truely a part of the CosAni world, so they cannot breed or grow into Transcendent stage.

The currency of CosAni are Moonstones, which are obtained by RPing, being active in the shop, mining, and events. Many of the potions require some Moonstones in order to be purchased, including Breeding Potions. After collecting the amount of Moonstones needed, you have to offer them to the Sleeping Moon God in order to get the prize.

How to get Moonstones by Roleplay
* 1 Solo Journal RP = 1 MS
Roleplay your pet in journals set up in the guild. A solo RP means you will not have to RP with another person. You pet will talk and interact with fictional characters and will be like a story. Each journal must be at least 30 sentences long, and develop your pet's personality.
* 1 Group or 1-on-1 RP = 1 MS per person
Roleplay with others in guild (preferably) or in thread. Each post must be at least 5 sentences long, and the conversation must be at least 20 posts long (in total).

Coming Soon!

Send all trades to the MULE, Cosmic Animalia.

* New pets start from the baby stage. These will be sold in flatsale type events; either speed, raffle, roleplay, trivia, or something else.
* All sales will be announced a week in advance.
* Pre-sales will be open occasionally and last one day, where you can buy whichever pet you choose for 2x the price.
* Proxies are allowed for all flatsales, but your proxier must send trade for you.
* Flatsale pets have 3 main stages (baby, adolescent, and adult), and a transcendent stage for roleplayers.
Cost: 10,000 for new owners // 8,000 for owners before the revamp (first pet only).
Send trade first, and then fill out this form after winning a pet.

Flatsales

Anis without a home will go here. Adoptions start from the egg stage (1 more than new pets). These will be sold in an auction type sale.
*Adoptions will be announced 1 week in advance to the starting date.
*Auction will last 1 week or until the snipe period ends.
* Snipe guard is 12 hours after last bid, so if someone bids on the last day of the auction, 12 hours will be added from that time to the end of the auction. If no one bids in those 12 hours, the auction ends.
* Send trade within 3 days of winning the auction, or the pet will be sold to the runner up for the price they bid instead.
Starting bid: 15,000 // Autobuy: 200,000.
Fill out this form after winning a pet.

Anis may breed when they are in the adult stage only.

* The right type of potion must be bought according to the type of breeding you want. You must have the potion that corresponds to the rarer of the two in the breeding, for example, if breeding a common and an uncommon, buy an uncommon potion.
* Each owner can only keep one baby from the breeding. If three Anis were born, you may only keep one per owner. If you bred two Anis of your own, you may only keep one pup. If only one baby was born and there are two owners, you will share the pup (both of your names will appear on the cert). Additional pups must be given back to the Nursery to be put up for adoption.
* Pets before the revamp will have to wait for my (Nekoanie's) slot to be open.

Check whether breeding slots are open in the guild.

* Offer your moonstones to wake the sleeping moon god to grant your wish!

You can see how many Moonstones you've collected by viewing the Collectory.

* 5 stones: 15% off any breeding potion or new Ani from a flatsale. Cannot be used in pre-sales.
* 10 stones: One free flatsale Ani. Cannot be used in pre-sales.
* 15 stones: +1 pup when breeding, even if you roll the maximum amount of pups. Must be used with breeding potion.
* 20 stones: Breeding Potion (N) for normal breeding.
* 25 stones: Breeding Potion (U) for an auto uncommon breeding.
* 30 stones: Breeding Potion (R) for an auto rare breeding.
* 40 stones: Mutation Potion

After collecting the required number of Moonstones, post in the guild.

Anis do not automatically grow. You will need to come to the Pond of Prosperity
after the time frame posted on the Growth Chart or when there is an arrow next to your pet's name in the owner's list (in guild).

☆ Pond of Prosperity

You can mine for moonstones once per day. They are rare, so it might be awhile before you find one.

* Main Account: Pandaphilic, formerly known as NekoAnie
* Call me: Panda, Anie, Neko

I started working with B/C Pets in Apr. '07, when there weren't a lot of pet shops around. I left after a few months because I didn't have enough bandwidth to keep all 270 of the pets on the server I was using. I came back to Gaia in Mar. '08 and created a new B/C shop named Cute Collectibles, which had its named changed to Cosmic Animalia in August. In January of '09 and 128 pets later, Cosmic Animalia went through a HUGE revamp of new pets, certs, added a story, active/RP benefits, NPCs, and a new thread.

I drew and colored all the art/graphics you see on this page. Send my main account a PM if you want to commission me on graphics, avatar/OC art, custom layouts, or custom CG certs. I might not be open to commissions though (except for RL). I accept pure gold, vintage MCs, and Paypal.
