So I've officially moved and settled in to the new place, expect lots of the free ticket requests to be filled out over the next month. Until Diablo 3, at least.
April 19th, 2012

And then... then, the rewards for the game will be handed out and I will be busy forever. XD Also, my moving date is April 21st so I may disappear for a day or 2-- but never fear!I will be back ASAP.
March 22nd, 2012
Aquatic and Golem Kage are finished. Praise be unto ghostneko~! The next event will begin asap but I will occasionally be scarce as work has gone full-force crazy with rush orders (but I got a raise so it's okay) AND I have to move an hour away within the next couple weeks. SO, I may be a little crazy. But, event! And new Kage species! You'll forgive me. <3
March 8th, 2012
I have officially commissioned ghost for new lines, so expect an event to showcase the new species within the next month or so!
February 26th, 2012
With all the holiday events and funtimes over for a while, you can expect continued breeding and custom slots and RP plot updates. Also, I am commissioning ghostneko for more Kage lines as soon as she is able, so there's a lot to look forward to!

Also, a PSA: If you haven't named your Kage by the end of the month, I will be sending out one final PM to you to get a name. If you don't respond to that within a week your Kage will be considered abandoned and your gifter will be refunded.
December 29th, 2011

November 11th, 2011
All of the Backyard Monster events are over. There will be a flatsale in 2 weeks when I return from my vacation. Also, the owner's list is no longer going to be updated-- you can now directly view the Kage photobucket album. Every Kage is tagged with its owner, so if you click your name, you can view all of your Kage (or all green kage, priestly kage, or whatever you'd like to see.)
November 6th, 2011
Fomor and Gorgo have become auctions, while Teratorn is up for grabs in an RP contest on page 2! This will finally conclude the Backyard Monsters events. I'm still hard at work fulfilling people's gifts from Halloween, though! wink
November 3rd, 2011
I had a major power outage for the last 4 days, so things were delayed for a bit! The Halloween game tricks and treats are posted on page 220, as well as in the "Things" post in post #11 on the front page. RP contests for the remaining Backyard Monsters will begin ASAP.
October 27th, 2011
The Backyard Monster auctions are over. The free Raffle is going on now for a few more days. The RP contests for the remaining Backyard Monster Kage will begin on October 30th. The Halloween game will end on Halloween, when I will see what everyone wins!

September 7th, 2011
The newbie flatsale is at 11pm EST. If the FS isn't over by Thursday (see FS post for exact details/times) it will become available to everyone. I'm working on a lot of bribes so if you're interested in bribing, you may need a slightly higher offer right now since I'm pretty much booked solid. XD Priestly Kage Elder auction ended today with a HB of 1mil.

Tags pg. 59. Custom slots will open again soon, and a plot progression and event calendar is in the works for the next 3 or 4 months.

There will be an auction soon, related to the current plotline (basically, Neverlin cultist shenanigans) as well as a custom slot opening sometime this week. I'm also working on templating all of the elders so every Kage type will be available for Elderizing (see elders section).
August 13th, 2011
Breeding slot has been claimed by ari and Lural! The elders section has been updated as well as pet trades at the bottom of the thread.
August 12th, 2011
The raffle and flatsale were held today (albeit a bit late thanks to me) and all the babies have found homes.
August 10th, 2011
More information is up about the grand reopening flatsale and newbie raffle this Friday.
August 9th, 2011
Elders section has been added to post 4. Currently working on the grand reopening flatsale and a newbie raffle!
August 8th, 2011
New thread started today! Once it's all done being set up there will be a grand reopening FS and ways to acquire Neverlin Elders.

[Neverlin Mage]

Roleplaying Information

History

Long ago, a cult named the Neverlin formed in order to practice an illegal and dangerous form of magic. It was obsessed with resurrecting the dead in any way or shape. Whether it be through the undead rising or taming souls, the mages wanted to discover how to bring something dead back to life.

The largest meeting ever had been planned, with rumors of a finished product being the spotlight of the evening. Perhaps someone had finally found a viable way to harness old, discarded souls? Just the prospect was enough to draw every last Neverlin mage in to see it for their own eyes. And just as it was heralded, the very first Kage were paraded around, the creator excitedly showing off his process for reincarnation.

Despite their overall success, however, many of the members were disappointed. The body was monster-like, a hollow shell meant only to house a new soul. The entire process was a bit too picky for some, especially the newer mages who were in the cult for personal gain. They called it a failure. It looked nothing like a human and the soul plucked from the etherworld was completely random!

To further the disappointment into even the most dedicated Neverlin mages, it was discovered that these new monsters required a constant supply of life essence from living creatures, preferably humans, or else the soul would slip away from the Kage body. This did not sit well with them. Many differing opinions rose. Their first real success ended with much heartache, as the Neverlin mages soon divided into so many factions it was only a mere shadow of its former self.

Current - "Rebirth"
Plot Compendium

Such wanton destruction gained the attention of all of Dragon's Maw, the human chain of gossip spreading like fire across the land. In a single night, word reached the Neverlin headquarters and threw their camp into a panic. After a brief but intense meeting, it was clear that the Neverlin were split in terms of how to react. And it was a division that would quickly dissipate the group back into the two factions it truly was -- the old, wise scientific-minded Neverlin mages from decades ago and the younger, arrogant power-hungry cultists that had sullied their good name. The power-hungry group sought to find a ritual to control the beast that ravaged the Red Kingdom. The wise Neverlin mages knew that path would be fruitless, and instead they would need to a summon a power great enough to destroy it and the mind to use its power only to defend. They left each other, going their separate ways to carry out their separate plans.

It was the Neverlin Mages, however, that perfected their plan first. The Kage summoners who ultimately performed the ritual to summon a powerful elder Priestly Kage put all of their life energy into a single soul, knowing their withering old bodies were a small price to pay to save the lives of so many. Their selfless act helped create the elder Priestly that would go on to destroy the elder Cerberus.

As quickly as it had begun, the fires were put out and the monster's heads stuck onto poles. The entire kingdom came together to bury the dead, tend the wounded, feed the homeless, and care for all the crying orphans. Help from around Dragon's Maw poured in over the next few weeks, rebuilding walls and homes. Humans and Kage alike were welcomed in, and the King and Queen were ousted as they stood firm in their hatred of Kage despite their lives ultimately being saved by a Kage in the end. A new era had arisen, where Kage were no longer scorned by the largest civilization in the land.

The Red Kingdom elected a practical mage, a caring priestess, a wise Neverlin Mage and a battle-hardened guard into office so that all aspects of life would be represented in the council.

The Neverlin Mages began to restore their image and the cultists went off to form their own faction, furious that the Cerberus had been killed and mutilated beyond repair. They named themselves the Triune, vowing to resurrect that Cerberus someday no matter the price.

[Neverlin Mage]

1. No art theft. Don't steal any art or banners from this thread and pass it off as your own.
2. No godmoding in the RP. Be fair in the RP and don't play other people's characters for them.
3. Follow sales rules. Flatsales, raffles, and auctions will have their own sets of rules.
4. Be prompt with names. If you ignore pets you have gotten from giveaways, sales, raffles, auctions, breedings, or anything else for 30 days it will be considered abandoned. I will try to get in touch with you but please be prompt!
5. Have fun and be courteous. I love you all!

Are these RP-required?
Not at all. But of course, people who do RP will be considered first for perks like extra babies from breedings, special events, and general gifts of adoration from yours truly.
Are you hiring?
I am not hiring, but thank you for the interest!
I used to have a Kage, but I can't find it!
Just post or PM me and I can find any Kage you have. You can also check the owner's list (photobucket account) and click "Tags" and find your name.
What if I don't want my Kage anymore?
You can easily surrender them to the shop to be given away to a new owner if you're quitting Gaia or have no need of your pet any longer.
How can I get one?
If you stick around, there will oftentimes be newbie raffles and flatsales for people with no Kage, as well as plain ol' raffles, flatsales, auctions, and custom slots.
How long do growths take?
Baby to child can take about a week and a half, child to adult can take 2 to 3 weeks. Adult to elder takes a year, along with some other stipulations (see Elders post).
What's with the shop name? "Kage"?
Kage (kah-gay) means "shadow" in Japanese. I feel that the Kage are merely shadows of their former selves, souls trapped within monstrous bodies.
Do you do pet trades?
Yes but I am very picky and I will only do them for the shops listed in my pet trade section near the bottom of the thread.
Do our Kage need to fit the stereotypes? (Hell, insane; Priestly, good)
It's merely a "template", but it's best to follow it unless you have some cool way to deviate it from the norm.
Can Kage talk?
Yes and no. Kage don't talk with their mouths, they communicate in your head. You can hear the voices and words, but their mouths cannot form actual sounds. Some Kage cannot talk very well, or at all. Some Kage can talk so well in your head that they can read your emotions and thoughts (usually only Spiritual Kage can do this).
How'd you get so devilishly good-looking?
Genes, mostly.

[Neverlin Mage]

Kage are the product of a wandering soul being unceremoniously shoved back into a new body, a cadaver made of various bits and parts of animal (but very precisely crafted, or the magical ritual would not work). They must consume life energy to stay "alive". Lone Kage would find life energy in the wild (via hunting, etc.) but domesticated Kage may siphon off life energy from their owners. It is painless, but will leave you feeling emotionally and physically drained if not careful.

Despite the various types of Kage that exist below, it is believed they all start out generally the same as children and morph later in life due to latent magic in their blood. Kage babies are extremely vulnerable and require lots of attention. Kage that are left to fend for themselves often turn out mentally unstable or injured.

Neverlin Kage
[Left: Female | Right: Male]
Neverlin Elders

These Kage seem to be the most stable species out of all, since they only drain a small amount of life essence from their host. They're extremely easy to care for and most are generally loyal to their owners. These Kage are borne of normal domesticated animal and human spirits that are magically transferred into the new Kage bodies, and depending on the spirit, their personality can also reflect what person or animal it was. These are aptly named for the Neverlin Mage Tribe that originally brought these beings to life.

Hell Kage
[Left: Female | Right: Male]
Hell Elders

The Kage from Hell are just what you'd imagine then to be-- evil, cunning, vicious, and then some. Only evil sorcerers have the right spells and power to trap a demon's or evil spirit within a Kage's body, and for that reason, unusually evil Kage are very rare. They feed off of their owner's life essence to an extremely high level, often causing their owner to faint. These are NOT good pets to own. Do not attempt to care for one without an extremely strong heart and the instruments to control such a beast.

Priestly Kage
[Left: Female | Right: Male]

The Priestly Kage are the most noble and well-behaved species of Kage. They take very little energy from their owners and yet are still the most powerful of the species. Priests from around the land gathered at one point to summon these creatures and exterminate the hellish ones, but upon attacking the evil sorcerers and their Kage in battle, the Priestly Kage and Hell Kage were both nearly wiped out. Both are now very rare, as well as the priests and sorcerers who summon them.

Spiritual Kage
[Left: Male | Right: Female]

Spiritual Kage are covered in thick, soft fur that protects them from the freezing cold of the spirit world. If cared for properly, these rare Kage can learn great abilities using their innate energy. They are capable of crossing into different realms and dimensions-- usually while sleeping, although out-of-body experiences have also been reported. They are calm and aloof creatures.

Cemetery Kage
[Left: Female | Right: Male]

Once a Kage dies, a very freakish thing may occur. In rare instances it's been reported that the spirit within the decaying body will refuse to die, and it will rise from the grave as a zombie-like monster. These are rarely owned and almost always found repulsive by those who meet them. The only advantage to owning one is that they require absolutely no feeding off of their owner's life energy.

Temporal Kage
[Left: Male | Right: Female]
Temporal Elders

Considered to be one of the hardest Kage to track down, the Temporal Kage are capable of flight and even rumored to be capable of time travel. They are haughty and arrogant because of their unique powers. Most other Kage fear the Temporals, because the dark looming shadow of a Temporal often means either a fight or death. Temporal Kage feed on the energy of other Kage either by direct assault or manipulative leeching.

Cerberus Kage

Cerberus Kage are extremely rare, and rightfully so. They are usually violent, hostile, and batshit insane. A Cerberus is an unholy spawn that requires three souls to create and it consumes thrice the amount of life energy. The act of holding three souls within one body is extremely painful and dizzying for the host body.

[Neverlin Mage]

Dragon's Maw


[For far more detailed information, visit the RP info thread post on Dragon's Maw.]

1. The North
Aptly named, the North is the coldest, upper-most section of the land. The trek into the North begins with dropping temperatures, snowfall, tundra, and then finally intense blizzards and winds. If one makes it past these tribulations, the cliffside at the top of the world overlooks a vast, majestic sea and the sky is always a gradient of blue, purple, and pink. Frequent aurora borealises also roam the sky, making this the favorite spot of spiritual Kage to migrate to.

2. Rainlands
This gray area is constantly under assault by gusty winds and relentless rainfall. Despite the wind, a soft fog also fills the area, making it difficult to see too far into the distance. The ground is covered in thick stone slabs, always slick and muddled with puddles. No foliage or trees grow here, unable to grow without soil or sun. Vigilant weeds and mushrooms creep out from the cracks between rocks, but it isn't enough to keep anyone or anything well-fed.

3. The Red Kingdom
This area is the largest civilization in the land, filled with more humans than anywhere else. People feel safe within the inner walls of the castle and the outer walls of the kingdom. All of the greatest advancements in technology, medicine, and magic were conducted here, although magic is of course highly contained, measured, and unavailable to most commonfolk. Neverlin mages and Kage are kill-on-sight to the Red Kingdom civilians and guards.

4. Grasslands
This is the general name given to the grassy areas that slither around important landmarks in Dragon's Maw. The soil is rich and earthy and easily grows flowers, small trees, and shrubs. A pleasant breeze keeps the pastoral scents afloat.

5. Blackgrime Lake
The huge round lake to the east. It is a popular destination as the water is actually crystal clear despite its name.

6. Forest Settlements
Many different communities sprung up within the comforts of the thick forests down south. Some choose to be taxed and protected by the kingdom, while some smaller ones choose to hide out and follow their own laws. These villages are the ones being ransacked by the Neverlin.

7. Neverlin Base
This is where the new Neverlin cultists reside, their village a magically-built and magically-protected fortress. They follow no rules when it comes to magic, making them dangerous and wicked. Although their numbers aren't daunting, they have many dark Kage under their control. Approach with extreme caution.

8. Red River
The largest river that begins in a large lake and runs all the way down south, forks, and empties into the ocean. Named for the Red Kingdom.

9. Demon's Watch
A gray, barren wasteland filled with skeletons, black dead tree trunks, and charred remnants of memories long since past. This land was torn apart by the war long, long ago that secure the Red Kingdom's place of power. Decrepit building frames still stand in the midst of the gray dusty air, a haunting reminder of what people are capable of doing to each other. Recently, Demon's Watch has been used as a everything from secret ritual grounds, to graveyards, and to short-lived houses for vagabonds and outlaws.

10. Riverline Settlements
A farming community that flourished beside the fertile lands that follow the Red River. They follow the law and are protected by the Red Kingdom, as well as taxed.

11. Amlight Catacombs
What was once the largest church and spiritual center in Dragon's Maw now lies in ruin, a mere shadow of what it once was. Burnt to the ground by angry mobs more interested in killing suspected mages and witches than "saving" them, the church is now completely abandoned and defunct. Below the Amlight church, however, is a giant network of catacombs filled with coffins of deceased spiritual leaders. The earth is moist and cool below, providing refuge from storms and sun. The air is very calm and peaceful.

13. Fare Island
The large island on the right, with a sizable river cutting into it and long, sandy beaches. Only people able to cross the long panels of water can reach the islands, making them a bit empty and unknown to the general populace. However, a darker-tanned breed of humans lives within the jungles and oasises here, unspoiled by Kage and unknowing what they even are.

12. Bull Island
The large island on the left, with the sizable pond. Just as unknown as Fare Island, rumors suggest that terrible things live here.

[Neverlin Mage]

Flatsales
Flatsales are usually speedsales. Previews are posted ahead of time with pricing, and once the flatsale is opened at a predetermined time and date, they will be available for purchase. Whoever claims each one first gets to buy it and name it.

Rules:
1. You may only buy one per flatsale for yourself, and one per flatsale for a friend. They must be claimed in different posts, and your friend cannot be posting for a pet at the same time. This is just for when your friend cannot be online at the time of the FS.
2. Please pay and name your Kage ASAP so I can tag them all at the same time.
3. No editing posts!
4. If you claim a pet and someone else claims it after you, please don't be nice and give it to them. It really messes me up. Claim it and keep it.
5. Please send trades to Neverlin Mage (this account)!

Upcoming flatsale:

None at the moment~!

Previews:
(All Kage babies cost 5k each, winners should send trades to this mule!)

None at the moment~!

Raffles
Raffles are always free. When a raffle is opened, you may post for a free ticket and I will add you to the list. Once enough tickets are given out, I'll use the posting number randomizer to pick the winner. If you win, I'll need a name for it and I'll tag it for you.

Rules:
1. You may only claim one ticket for yourself.
2. No using mules or anything of the sort.
3. You cannot pick the number you get.
4. Follow any specific rules the raffle has, such as "x Kage or less" or "newbies only".

Current raffle:

None at the moment!

[Neverlin Mage]

With very powerful magic, a customer's perfect Kage can be shaped. However, the price is a bit steeper for the effort and materials involved. Customs' prices depend on the difficulty of the custom designs desired-- however, all customs begin as adult Kage only.

Below is a list of base prices. Depending on the difficulty, the price will go up, so if you want like 600 shades of each color of the rainbow with stripes and spots and magical fairy farts it's going to cost more. Generally, it will just cost the base price. If you want a price quote on your idea before you start saving just send me a PM!

Base price for an adult Neverlin: 25k [Elder: 50k]
Base price for a Hell Kage: 200k [Elder: 300k]
Base price for a Priestly Kage: 200k [Elder: 300k]
Base price for a Spiritual Kage: 200k [Elder: N/A yet]
Base price for a Cemetery Kage: 100k [Elder: N/A yet]
Base price for a Temporal Kage: 300k [Elder: 400k]
Base price for a Golem Kage: 300k [Elder: 500k]
Base price for an Aquatic Kage: 300k [Elder: 500k]

Rules:
1. Customs can't look -exactly- like another Kage, especially not auction Kage.
2. Lineart edits are very expensive. I am also picky with them. Generally, they're only allowed in auctions or expensive bribes.
3. You can't change your mind when I'm halfway done, so make sure you PM me what you want when you are ready.
4. Customs may advance to elderdom just like any other Kage, but if you're impatient you can get an Elder-stage custom as well if it's available in the price list above.
5. Send trades and PMs to Neverlin Mage.

Custom Slot: Closed

Custom form:

[b]Type:[/b] [Neverlin, Hell, Spiritual, etc.]
[b]Stage:[/b] [Adult or Elder-- affects price, only certain elders available]
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Description:[/b] [Be detailed!]
[b]Markings:[/b] [Be specific, or don't!]
[b]Horns/Claws colors:[/b]
[b]Eye color:[/b]
[b]Lineart edits[/b]: [These increase the price]
[b]Ref pic?:[/b] [In case it's easier to show than tell]

[If you want to bribe me, PM me what you have in mind. Bribe slots are always open and are a good way to ask for Kage with extensive lineart edits. Usual bribes are about 2mil but will get you anything you wish, within reason. Make sure you send trade or I may put it behind others who have paid first!]

Bribe Slots: Empty

[Neverlin Mage]

A Kage, despite its awkward place in nature, may breed. If a male and a female Kage breed, the female gives birth to babies as though she retains some semblance of a normal creature. The mother (or father, or both) must go through the difficult task of picking out lost souls and bringing their babies to life just as they were given life. This is possible because Kage are magical creatures in general, and the same spell that gave them life allows them to pass on life as well. The actual act of Kage reproduction is still shrouded in mystery, however, as no one has ever witnessed it firsthand. Female x Female and Male x Male breedings have also been reported to happen, but it is a far more taxing act on the parents as they must give up far more life energy to make it happen.

Rules

1. Breeding Kage must be elders or adults and it must be Type x Type or Type x Neverlin. See chart below for more information. Gender doesn't matter.
2. New rule: A Kage can only breed once every 2 months.
3. If one person owns both parent Kage, then he or she chooses what to do with all of the children.
4. If two different players own the parents, then they may confer and decide what to do with them. I trust I won't ever have to interfere.
5. If a baby isn't tagged with its siblings, it may have a different growth schedule-- especially if you take weeks to decide what to do with it. (Which is fine with me, but I put work into each stage so I won't skip any!)
6. Kage babies may be kept by the parents, sold to friends, sold to the general public, auctioned, given away, raffled, or what-have-you as long as I'm told first (PM me your plans, we'll talk!) If auctioned or sold I request half of the selling price to quell any breeding for profit.
7. Elders and RP'd Kage that breed have a higher chance of a rare extra offspring.
8. Lineart edits do generally have a chance to be passed on to offspring.

The following chart outlines who may breed with who, and what/how many to expect as well as new breeding prices. (NOTE: The following prices are for non-lineart-edited Kage who breed. Lineart-edited Kage breedings cost twice the normal breeding price depending on your pair. Whether one or both parents are edited, it is still double.)

Neverlin x Neverlin = Neverlin babies (3) Price: 15k
Hell x Neverlin = Hell or Neverlin babies (2-3) Price: 20k
Hell x Hell = Hell babies (2) Price: 25k
Neverlin x Priestly = Priestly or Neverlin babies (2-3) Price: 20k
Priestly x Priestly = Priestly babies (2) Price: 25k
Neverlin x Spiritual = Neverlin or Spiritual babies (2-3) Price: 20k
Spiritual x Spiritual = Spiritual babies (2) Price: 25k
Temporal x Neverlin = Temporal or Neverlin babies (2-3) Price: 20k

Neverlin x Aquatic = Neverlin or Aquatic babies (2-3) Price: 20k
Aquatic x Aquatic = Aquatic babies (2) Price: 20k

Cemetery Kage cannot breed. They're deader than dead.
Cerberus Kage cannot breed. They are far too insane.

Golem Kage can 'breed' with any other Kage, though it is not based on genetics. Golems pass along their magical essence to their offspring. Typically, the children will be of whatever fleshy partner they have (ie. Golem x Priestly = Mostly Priestly babies). Golem babies are rare as they take more magical energy to give life to. Golem babies are influenced by both the rocks around the area and the parents themselves. Sometimes they may be completely different than the parents!

Golem x Golem = Golem babies (2) 20K
Golem x Neverlin = Neverlin or Golem babies (2-4) 20K
Golem x Hell = Hell or Golem babies (2-3) 20K
Golem x Priestly = Priestly or Golem babies (2-3) 20K
Golem x Spiritual = Spiritual or Golem babies (2-3) 25K
Golem x Temporal = Temporal or Golem babies (2-3) 25K
Golem x Aquatics = Aquatic or Golem babies (2) 25K

[Neverlin Mage]

Kage that come of old age and have lived a fulfilling life may transition on to the elder stage. Kage that manage to stockpile enough life energy over time are able to grow past the normal amount granted by the spell that brought them to life. If you want your Kage to attain this stage, there are a few stipulations.

Stipulations:
- Kage must be older than 1 year.
- Kage must have been roleplayed a bit.
- Kage will be retagged with the latest cert available.
- Designs may look slightly different at elder stage than adult.
- I may offer free elders to regular roleplayers.

Prices:
[Note: Not every type of Kage is available for elders yet.]
[If your Kage has extensive lineart edits, the cost may be higher.]
Neverlin Elders: 3k
Hell Elders: 10k
Temporal Elders: 15k

PM me this information:
Kage's name/link/pic whatever and link(s) to RP with said Kage. Elder slots are always open.
