Welcome to Gaia! ::

Overall Thread Rules
------------------------------

- Follow the Gaia Terms of Service and thread rules at all times.
- Please respect owners, colorists, thread managers, and basically all the staff.
- Respect one another.
- We have the right to add on/amend our set of thread rules to where we see is just and fit.
- Use proper grammar! Text chat is not appreciated.
- Never cancel a trade. Doing so will result in a ban from whatever activity the trade was from. Only cancel a trade when told okay to do so.
- Trades must be sent with 24 hours. Trades must also be titled correctly.
- Do not discourage others so you may get the pet of your choice.
- If there's a problem with your pet, please let us allow things to happen. If you're worried about being scammed or don't have your pet, feel free to send the mule a PM kindly stating your concern.
- Everyone could do without the drama. <3 x3
- Do not bump, advertise, resell our pets, steal any aspect of this shop (art, story, certs, etc). It's uncool, uncreative, and just wrong. D:

Flat Sale Rules
----------------------

- First-come, first-served. Flatsales are speed based.
-Only purchase one pet per flat-sale, please! This allows for others that are new to the shop the chance to nab their first pet.
- If you are proxying for someone else, that means you cannot purchase a pet for yourself.
- Send your trade to the shop mule, llStella Cadentell as soon as possible so your purchase can be counted as valid.

Auction Rules
-------------------

- Don't bid what you don't have! Common sense. Otherwise, your bid won't count and the auction will have to go to the second highest bidder.
- Items are taken at lowest tektek value. Store items are priced at sell back value. Be wary of how item value changes!
- There will always be an anti-snipe guard of 10 minutes before the end. If no ending time is posted, the auction will go until 12 midnight and the winner will be announced the following day.

Raffle Rules
-----------------

- You can buy tickets for yourself and your friends.
- There is absolutely no limit to the amount of tickets you can buy~
- Once a raffle is won, please send your information to the shop mule, llStella Cadentell.
- Label trades accordingly when there's more than one raffle going on.

That's a lot of rules. o.o!

But most of them are what everyone usually follows~
And if there are any questions regarding events and stuff, you'll usually find the answer here.
<3

And here is the FAQ~!
Which is weird... since we're barely starting, so uh, who would have known that we'd get frequently asked questions. xD!

Can I have more than one Streya?
Sure thing~! Have as many Streyas to your hearts content. ^^

Can I have one for free?!
Well, occasionally we'll be having some events or games where people are able to nab some freebies of their own. Or, sometimes we'll reward someone with a freebie if we know they deserve it. <3

Are these role-play required?
Nope~! But it would be nice if you role-play, there might be some perks when breeding~

*May I order a Streya with weapons?
Sorry to say but absolutely not. We feel that since the Streya are a peaceful race they have no need for weapons. Cosplays who are warriors or something of the like may have their memories and skill of how to wield a weapon but think of it like someone who is trying to get away from their war torn past and begin anew. So basically no weapons. Sorry again!

*Oh mai God! I totally want a Streya based off this drawing!
If you did not design or draw the OC then you cannot have it as a Streya. We will accept detailed descriptions of OCs -or- multiple references to base the Streya on. Please note that the chances of your OC looking -exactly- like something someone else made are very unlikely. So if you give us only one reference we will not accept it as it is art theft.

Ex: Upon ordering a Streya you tell the colorist to look at the reference for more details. This is the only picture given: Random Anime Girl. It is obivious someone else drew this as there's only one reference picture linked. Usually if its an OC you would have more than one picture drawn up, even if its sketches, of your OC.

However, let's say you really like the girls hair. You can link to that picture for a reference on the hairstyle. Link to another picture or two for references on the clothing then another for any additional stuff. Please keep in mind it will not come out exact as it is just a reference.

* New F.A.Q added as a result of announcement made on Page 274

Legend has it that the Streya are creatures of the stars. They are the chosen ones upon a star's death to carry out its life. As there are millions of people around the world, there are millions of stars in the universe. While a star begins to burn all of its fuel energy, it emits smaller stars that appear in our sky as shooting stars.

They are a simple and peaceful race who reveal themselves after a few weeks, beginning the growth process. Each streya grows at a different rate, but once reaching adulthood they have large feathery wings in which they take to the skies nightly, in search of others of their kind.

Do not fret though! Streya are forever loyal to those who have raised them. Even if you do get your Streya at its adulthood, within the first few weeks of ownership, if you prove to the Streya that you care for them, they will always return to your side.

They are known to be highly protective of those who have raised them, and will sacrifice themselves if the need arises so their owner is safe. They love to be with other streya as they are highly sociable (well, most, some are anti-social) so it is recommended to get more than one streya.

What's this?! Some time after the Streya have made their appearance to Gaia, people have begun to find these small smiling meteorites around the crash sites. However, they are more than just hunks of rocks. They hold the power to alter the Streya, making them larger in size and more human like. However these rocks are very rare and only pop up once in awhile. There are a few ways to get one:

* Be an active role playing and thread goer. You will get a free non-custom growing to the elder stage.

* Purchase a meteorite for 50k to grow a custom or edited Streya to the elder stage. Or to grow a streya if you don't role play or are at least semi-active.

To purchase one:



* Buy a custom elder stage. See information below~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Custom Pricing Information:

Colorist's Choice: 50k
Color Custom: 100k
Minor Edits: 150k
Major Edits: 200k
Cosplays: 300k+

Snag the forums in the post above and just be sure to mention that you are ordering the elder stage. Okay~? <3

To keep these still rare-ish to get we are going to have only five custom slots open at a time along with the five rocks. So ten chances each time~ Doesn't sound that bad, right~? To get one just post in the custom thread of the colorist of your choice.
