Welcome traveler to Taijitu! The Gods must have sensed your imbalance and brought you here to realign yourself. Fear not, for here you will stumble upon various Yins and Yangs. However, which one is meant for you remains a mystery.

Follow Gaia's Terms of Service and our shop rules at all times.
Simple enough. Failure to do so well... say farewell~

Do not quote the front page or advertise other shops here.
If you want to ask questions, there is no need to quote to get out attention. Someone will answer your question. As for advertising, it's rather rude. If you want to be affiliates please PM the mule with your linking banner and we'll a link exchange.

Guilt-tripping, flaming, starting drama, or discouraging others is not tolerated.
We strive to create a friendly atmosphere here. If you have problems with someone you may either contact one of the shop owners or deal with it yourself through private messages. If you do not win a pet - don't fret! Keep on trying and eventually you'll get lucky.

Role playing is not required.
But it is highly encouraged. There are perks for people who role play and stay active in the shop.

All trades must be sent within 24 hours. Certing information must be posted within a week of acquiring the pet.
A bit unfair, yes, but far too often pets get paid for and nothing else done with them. They just sit around in our photobucket while the owner is posting in other shops and never comes to post the certing information for their pet. Thus nothing can be done with that pet if the trade was finalized. A waste of gold and time spent on the pet if you ask me. No?

Do not cancel trades unless told to do so.
It gets confusing. It makes things unorganized. Basically it's a hassle. If you sent the wrong amount of gold or didn't put a title in the trade, you may edit it. Don't cancel it and send it again. The only time you are able to cancel a trade is if one of the shop owners or colorists tell you to.

Respect each other and the staff.
Respect yourselves, other thread goers and the staff members who make this shop possible. Everyone has lives. Everyone has things they must deal with outside of Gaia. You have to understand that. If you're having a bad day - don't take it out on other people. Use common sense. It's not that hard. <3

How many pets may I have?
As many as you like. Please don't be greedy though and give newbies a chance. (Ex: You have 10 pets. Someone has none. Don't be greedy~)

May I have one for free?
Yes and no. If we have a free raffle or game, you're more than welcome to try for it! Otherwise we don't usually give one out for free. Sorry.

Why is there no specific genders?
It's a bit easier to explain breeding that way. But you basically choose the gender of your pet.

So homosexual pets can breed?
Yes. So long as it's Yin x Yang they can breed. They complete each other. Two Yins or two Yangs would result in a huge off balance of the scales.

But I want to mate a Yin x Yin / Yang x Yang!
Yins are not attracted to other Yins. Yangs are not attracted to other Yangs. They may think the other beautiful/handsome but are not driven to procreate with them. They ultimately understand the balance of life and respect it. Sorry to disappoint you. You simply have to be careful when ordering customs if you have breeding plans. That's all <3

Somewhere, hidden between the sky and the sea, away from all other land, is a sacred island named Taijitu. It is the most treasured jewel of the gods. A true paradise like none other. People from all walks of life inhabit the island: some born there, others coming in from other areas, and some leave, some stay or some travel in between. Whatever may be the case, it is certain when an individual is brought to the island, there is a purpose. With the ongoing and comings of such a perfect island, there will always be a slight imbalance that must be corrected.

The people of this land call the two main balancing forces yin and yang. They are both abstract ideas and real creatures that are sent to certain people in order to maintain this balance. Yin symbolizes the moon, femininity, the earth, coldness and wetness. As yin's perfect opposite, Yang symbolizes the sun, masculinity, the sky, heat and dryness.

When you encounter these creatures, they have been sent to you from the gods to balance your yin and yang. There may be several that you will find in your path, or perhaps not, it is all for the purpose of perfect balance and harmony.

1 - Tao Village // The only known village in Taijitu where most of the villagers reside. A humble town, you can find all of your basic buildings and structures of town-life. Anything from a traditional teahouse, to rowdy bars, basic governmental organizations, even business and entertainment districts. It's not much, but it is basic and simple living.

2 - Benevolent Fields // Where most people will encounter a Yin or Yang, if you are lucky, you may see these creatures act freely. The grassfields span far and wide and any have not ventured beyond these plains. [For RP, a good starting spot for all pets!]

3 - Zhongda Lake // A cold, fresh-water lake found at the base of Konging Mountains. It is a favorite spot for aquatic life and Yin creatures.[For RP, a good dating spot to take for Yin pets!]

4 - Kongming Mountains // Large eastern mountains, peaked with a light snow, that welcome the morning sun. Although it is cold due to elevation, it is a favorite spot for Yang creatures. [For RP, a good dating spot for Yang pets!]

5 - Wuji Forest // A dark forest, not usually ventured through. Although it has been charted, not any villagers attempt to explore these woods for too long. It hosts a variety of creatures, some perhaps more menacing than others.

6 - Chuugoku Beach // A favorite vacationing spot for Taijitu villagers and creatures alike. It is also an often used fishing spot for seawater fish and a port used to reach the famous hot springs. [For RP, great entertainment spot!]

7 - Shikoku Hot Springs // Very famous hot springs with a amiable staff and resort and incidentally the mating grounds for Yin and Yang. Lots of activity goes on here!

These are the most common type of yin and yang that a person will encounter during their stay here at Taijitu. They are certainly abundant but each one of them serve a purpose, and they all are personal to each and every person it encounters. They have a variety of personalities, despite their species sympathies, and will always be loyal to their owners. They also can be found wearing different clothing than their traditional garb, some will even resemble figures that you can recognize!

There is no specified gender for these pets, simply Yin or Yang. As an owner, you can specify the gender of your own Yin or Yang or simply leave it genderless. This does not affect breeding or mating.


[ Other species are soon to be announced! ]

The most important rules is: Yin x Yang breedings only.
If two owners or a single owner is planning to have couples, OC, Cosplay or otherwise, please plan them accordingly. There is no exception to this rule.

Second most important rule is: Once two pets have breeded, they will become lifemates.
However, there is an exception! As an owner, you can plead with the Gods to allow your pet to mate with another. Your plea must include a reason why you wish to reverse the lifemating process, and you must sacrifice a fine. (This is in case partner is inactive, wishes to mate with another, does not want to be stuck with a single mate). You can reverse a lifemating for a single pet up to three times. Post your pleas in the Breeding Thread to be considered.

Third most important rule is: There is no RP requirement for breeding.
However, keep the second and first rule in mind, so please let your Yin and Yang pets choose a mate wisely.


Things to note:
- Heterosexual and homosexual breedings are accepted.
- A normal pet may breed with a celestial or youkai pet.
- Each breeding will produce 2 offspring. One Yin and one Yang. Additional offspring are rare.
