[OOC] Newbie/Oldbie Thread: Questions and Advice

Would a pocket watch be out of the question in the SOA world? (Not one that would work, but as a necklace ornament)

I'm fairly certain that anything man-made isn't acceptable. I think that any jewelry SoA wear have to be tribal, or something they could make themselves out of natural elements.

Man-made is sometimes acceptable, considering they can't exactly hammer gold or anything, but watches and stuff are out. biggrin

And Fel's right. XD; I'm the iffy one when it comes to customs. xP

What would happen if a fertile Leopon and a fertile Cheeton mated? or any other fertile hybrid mixes, would the cubs come out looking like the mom or would it be random?  

[Syrius Lionwing]

@ panda :; I beleive dusty said she would address that situation if / when it ever happened. **seems to remember this convo in thread at some point or other**

I think it depends what they have more of in them. I think someone said something like a leopon/cheeton mix would result in lion-looking cubs, because they're 1/2 lion and only a 1/4 each leopard and cheetah. But I can't recall if that was offical or just speculation. ^^;

What happens when you find out someone is Questing the same Goddess as you? I was secretly saving up for the Goddess of Butterflies and just found out Mamoru Hatake (sp?) is questing that as well. I'm further along in funds (at least I think I am) but am not a hundred percent sure thats what I'm going to go for...

God/desses are first come first serve, meaning you can both quest for the same domain. No one can "reserve" gods (except for the ones that are on reserve by the shop for a specific plot I think). Whoever manages to get the custom slot first gets the god, plain and simple.

People just generally, out of courtesy (not any requirement or shop rules), avoid domains others are questing for since there are so many to pick from and what not.  

[A Star For Silverpelt]

Can you co-own a god/goddess with anyone?
Cause I can pay for half of one and that is all

As of right now co-ownership of any SoA is not allowed, so if you went for an immortal, you'd own it alone adn have to pay the whole fee ^^

Also regarding gods and goddesses, if starting a new quest be sure to look up already existing domains so that your domain does not conflict/is not too close to that domain. If you have questions about the relation of the domain, contact the owner and see if your quest domain is possible :] Sometimes domains can be too close. :]

The only way to guarantee a custom to be a seer is if the SoA is the direct offspring of a god/mortal breeding (Example: If Rio and a mortal lioness had cubs they'd ALL be seers/demi-gods), because all god/mortal cross-breeding offspring are seers (Full breeds and Hybrids alike, though hybrids are not available as customs).

Uahh. :'D Hello.
I'm aiming to get my first breedable pet at SoA (&Gaia),
but I've got a few questions regarding general customs/pride.

[1]
If you get an adult rogue custom, how does it join a pride..? >_>; Through roleplay?
Is it even possible for them to join a pride?

[2]
If they are able to join, will they ever get new lineart to fit that pride?

[3]
I'm kind of confused on prides. >_> As you can probably tell.
Clans are groups INSIDE the prides? Yes?

[4]
How do customs work..?
Like. When a colorist opens a slot,
is it first come first serve? @_@;

A'ight. For now, I think that's it. Thanks very much!

1: yup, through roleplay :3 you need to talk to the pride owners and set up an RP between your rogue and a pride leader (or someone else in the rpdie with "the power" to let a member in)
2: no, they will grow on whatever lineart they are born in. The exception is with rogue lines, in which case you can convert from the old rogue lines to the new rogue lines. But you cannot convert tofrom rogue lines (new or old) to pridal lines.
3 - it really depends on the pride xD;; Some prides are just a pride(Pridelands, Motoujamii, Umande'mufni), some prides have clans in them (Ela'wadiyi, Kunanda'nakhun). You should read up on pride info.
4 - Customs work usually monthly, the colorist usually picks the way they want to give them out. Sometimes its colorists choice (everyone sends in their form and the colorists picks whatever they want), sometimes its speed (first some first serve, limited amount of slots) aaand raffles.
