xX Guild Xx xX Drop Offs Xx

"Welcome." A red-headed female glances at you as you walk into the old building. It had been abandon for years, but now looked like an art supply shop that had a run-in with Hot Topic.
Though dimly lit, the products were easy to see. It's a good selection; you scan through scrapbooks and sketchbooks and pastels and crayatas and... Crayata? "Excuse me," You hold up the 'Crayata' box to the red-head, only to see you've somehow wandered to the back shelves.
The girl sees you anyway, and raises a brow. "Problem?"
You try not to flinch at her stare. "Um, no, but, what is a Crayata?"
"Pfft. Newbie." She rolls her eyes and returns her attention to her computer.
"Hi there!" You whirl to see a bouncy young girl behind you, grinning. "Those are very special boxes! Made them myself!"
You look down at the box. "Oh, ok! Your own little brand. Cool." You take the box to the checkout counter without noticing the pout on the bouncing girl's face. "Um..."
The red-head turns to see you and your money out, rings you up without a word, and before she turns back to her computer once again you swear you see her wink at the other girl.

disclaimer: the pets and items in this shop are based off of/copyrighted to Crayola brand products.

x What is a Crayata/Penaline/Markret? x
A cross between a cat, fox, and ferret. XD Odd little critters, ain't they?

x What is a Brushkin? x
Uhh... a droplet of paint that's turned into a critter thing? Seems... rodent-y...

x How do I get one? x
Through raffles, flatsales, customs, etc. Details are in a post below~

x Are these gold-only, or can I pay you real money? x
Gold-only, sorry.

x It says we can't co-own... why not? x
Because I said so >P I've seen too many problems arise out of co-owning when it comes to mates and breedings.

x Can I has one free? x
... -slaps with a wet newdle-

x I don't want my Aloyarc anymore... can I sell it? x
Absolutely not. If you decide you do not what your pet, you may re-home it to a friend, or donate it back to the shop to be re-homed by us~

x Will you do pet trades or bribes? x
Bribes are detailed on page two, pet trades... I might. PM my main account, lux_rayne13, to offer.

x How long does it take for an Aloyarc to grow? x
Real time, it's one week to kit stage, two weeks to adult stage.

x So I don't have to roleplay, right? x
To own or lifemate, no. To ONS, yes. Due to the rules of breeding, I'm putting this rp rule into place to prevent people from just making tons of babies that will just end up as sig candy.

x But I can't roleplay, because -insert reason here-! x
Don't fret! Just PM me ok? I've had staff unable to roleplay, and if you have a legit reason I'm willing to work with you~

x Can I breed my pet without rp? x
If the pets are lifemated, yes. This will result in the fewest amount of kits, though.

x So, is there a limit to how many times my pet can breed? x
Nope, which is why ONS's are rp-only. Again, I don't want these critters being sig candy collecting dust any more than to be expected.

x Can same-sex couples lifemate and breed? x
Yep! It's a little different than male/female pairings though~ Same-sex couples will have to go to an Artist (ic'ly, rp not needed) and will receive Boxes, while male/female couples have kits naturally and receive Newborns instead of Boxes!

x How may I rp my pets while waiting for Boxes/Newborns? x
For Boxes, simply the parents waiting for the Artist to create them~ For Newborns, you may rp the female having pregnancy symptoms, but please keep it pg-13 and remember to NEVER rp the creation/birth of Newborns in the shop or guild.

x Sooooo, what about trauma and other hardcore drama? x
That kind of depends on your definition of 'hardcore'. Something like rape or mutation, for example, would be only allowed in a backstory, while things like cheating and abandonment may happen in the rp provided BOTH parties are ok with this and are clear on the details. Just... be mature about it, please.

x Ok, what if I have a question not listed here? x
PM me, or one of my staff! We don't bite (unless asked nicely) so feel free to come to us with any question or concern!~

So, basically, there was a thing, and a thing, and a person, and a thing, and BAM Aloyarc.

But seriously.

Aloyarc come from... well, no one knows, really. But one day a new art shop opened up in a small little town, and some of the boxes of 'coloring utensils' turned out to be quite interesting. For the life of them, no one could seem to open certain boxes, sold under odd labels such as 'Crayata', 'Markret', or 'Penaline'. It was assumed to be a home-made brand... but later revealed to be breeds of ferret-like felines! This new species, called Aloyarc's, were quite the popular critters for a time. The newness made them so popular, boxes were flying off of shelves. People from all over the world would visit this little shop, spreading the species from north to south, east to west. But not every owner was capable of taking care of their pets, and some took to the wild...

After a time, the novelty wore off and they became more of a normal thing. You can still only buy these creatures in that little art shop, but they can be found just about anywhere. Some are house pets, some are tamed but run about on their own, and some are wild and live far from humans. They come in all kinds of colors and patterns, and some even dress up in jewelry and clothing.

But, why simply hear me talk about them? Pick one up of your own, and see for yourselves!~

There are four known breeds of Aloyarc, though one seems to be quite rare... They can be obtained from certain Art Shops in boxes and live among humans like a house-pet, or they can be born and brought up in the wild, where they either run solo or join a pack! Take a look at the more specifics of each breed, and their growth charts, below!~

User Image
xX Crayata Xx

These are the most common breed of Aloyarc, and characterized mainly by the sort-of half fluff at the end of their tails. They start out as a box about the size of any regular 24ct crayon box, and give a little hint as to what the kit will look like. After awhile, if you take good care of it, the box will start to shake and a tiny little kit will emerge! They start out just about the size of their box, but grow quickly. It won't take long before your bouncing ball of curiosity is a full grown adult and averaging about a foot high at the head (though can get up to a foot and half!), ready to tackle the world on its own! For the most part, their personalities vary from savage to angelic and anything in between.

User Image
xX Markret Xx

More rare than the Crayata, these are a more demonic kind of Aloyarc. Characterized by their all-over fluffy tails and extra fluff around their legs and chest, the Markret are the kind to get into anything and everything and cause chaos and mischief. They get along with certain Crayata, but rarely get along with Penalines and see them as natural enimies as they are -mostly- polar opposites. Some Markrets have been known to have a more mild nature, but it's rare. Their boxes are about the size of a regular box of markers, though thicker to allow room for the growing kit. Once fully grown, these Aloyarc are known to be slightly larger than average Crayata, usually a foot and a half at the head, but have been known to be as tall as two feet!

User Image
xX Penaline Xx

Penaline are like the Markrets in rarity, and average the same height as well, though these Aloyarc are quite angelic in nature as opposed to the demonic Markret. They are characterized by their lack of fluff, with only a little on their chest and tail tip, and tend to be do-gooders and sometimes can come off as stuck up. The Penaline's box size is that of a normal pack of colored pencils, though like the Markret boxes they are thick enough to safely hold a growing kit. This breed of Aloyarc can sometimes hold a more naughty nature, though for the most part they are sweet and kind and due to being polar opposites they find the Markrets to be natural enemies, though they'll never pick a fight with one. They can get along with certain Crayata just fine, however, though some may see them as the 'lesser' breed.

User Image
xX Astelico Xx

The deities of the Coloring Box world, each one is over a domain specific to them and only them, though rarely two Astelico will team together over one domain. This breed is the rarest of them all, and are able to have abilities or powers relating to their domain. Not much is known about what kind of box they come in, what the kits look like, or their relations with the other breeds, but they seem to be as diverse in nature as the Crayata. They are always found with three tails, one for each 'normal' breed, and average out at about two feet high at the head (though can grow to as large as three feet, making their size range the most diverse of all the breeds). Another thing to note about them is that they have no physical gender differences, though some may look and act more feminine or masculine depending on their own personal taste.

User Image
xX Brushkin Xx

Curious critters that pop out of little paint bottles, these rodent familiars are sure to make any Aloyarc smile! Or... frown. Or pull out their fur. They seem to have quite a variety of personalities and are loyal to one Aloyarc and one Aloyarc only, regardless of breed. On average the Brushkin is about three inches tall, and they don't vary much in size. Their tails are almost always stubby and black, with a strip of their eye color going around the middle, though sometimes odd features can be found on them such as wings or unnatural ears/tails!

So, your Aloyarc wants to be a parent? Great! Each parent's owner may keep only one kit. The rest must be given away however you choose, but never sold. Below are the outcome possibilities of Aloyarc breedings. One Night Stand's are only allowed with an approved roleplay of at least one (1) full page. Lifemates do not need roleplay, but without it will get the same amount of kits as a ONS (with exceptions). Roleplayed lifemates get the highest of kits, the roleplay needing to be at least three (3) pages and approved. (Roleplays of at least three (3) pages for a ONS, five (5) pages for a lifemated couple, give an additional kit in same breed... uh, well, breedings. XD) Keep in mind, male/female pairings will result in a natural birth of Newborns, while same gender pairings will result in Boxes from an Artist. Astelico, however, will always have Boxes as they do not have physical genders~

ONS / Lifemate Only:
Crayata x Crayata = 2-(3) kits
Penaline x Penaline = 2-(3) kits
Markret x Markret = 2-(3) kits
Astelico x Astelico = 1-(2) kits

Crayata x Pen/Mar = 2 kits
Penaline x Markret = 0 / 1 kits
Astelico x C/P/M = 0 / 1 kits

Lifemated with Roleplay:
Crayata x Crayata = 4-(5) kits
Penaline x Penaline = 4-(5) kits
Markret x Markret = 4-(5) kits
Astelico x Astelico = 3-(4) kits

Crayata x Pen/Mar = 4 kits
Penaline x Markret = 2 kits
Astelico x C/P/M = 2 kits
