Abelsia is the planet on which the peninsula of Di'jai is located. In short, Abelsia is Earth, several thousand years in the future after a currently unknown apocalyptic event. For now, the creatures of Di’jai have not ventured past the grasslands into the desert or Abelsia behind. Further information on the rest of Abelsia and the remnants of humanity will be released in the future.

Di'jai itself is enormous and is home to several intelligent species, namely the dragonfly, bearibou, lupeus, and shilon. It has four distinctive zones: the desert, the grasslands, the forest, and the mountains. The only existing human structures within Di’jai comprise the ancient, abandoned city of Chindril and the Ashinari camp known as Tiwan.

For more information on the world, please visit the Roleplay Basics thread or the Ultimate Abelsia Reference List.

Roleplaying in LoA is not required! You can still get a pet and grow it without ever putting in a word of roleplay. That said, roleplay can help get you and your pets get special privileges.

Why roleplay?
1. You have a chance of nominating your roleplayed pets for free elder or even god growth slots when available.
2. Participation in special plot events which offer unique pets, familiars, or items.
3. Special breeding slots.
4. Increased breeding litter size.
5. Evolution into rare pet types, such as flying or aquatic pets, that are not as commonly sold.

Dragonfly are the first and primary species in Di'jai. They have five growth stages - Baby, Child, Adult, Elder, and God. Any dragonfly sold is guaranteed to reach the Adult stage. Elder stages can be acquired through purchasing, roleplay, events, or breeding other elders. The god/goddess stage is the rarest stage and can only be acquired through special events, sales, or on rare chance through breeding. See the Breeding Guide for more information on breeding elders and gods.

Lore basics for roleplaying your pets is available in the Roleplay Basics thread.

Bearibou are another primary species in Di'jai with the same growth patterns as dragonfly. As such, they have many similarities to dragonfly. They have five growth stages - Baby, Child, Adult, Elder, and God. Any bearibou sold is guaranteed to reach the Adult stage. Elder stages can be acquired through purchasing, roleplay, events, or breeding other elders. The god/goddess stage is the rarest stage and can only be acquired through special events, sales, or on rare chance through breeding.

Lupeus are a secondary species in Di'jai. They have four growth stages - Baby, Child, Adult, and Elder. Any bearibou sold is guaranteed to reach the Adult stage.

Types: Female Bunny, Male Bunny, Caniot, Caribou, Flyzard, Harfang, Lynx, and Tysaur.

Familiars are critters of Di’jai that have been tamed to be companions of the dragonfly, bearibou, lupeus, or shilon. They do not have growth stages, but they can be colored and customized. Familiars can be purchased stand-alone, or you can get one to go with your existing or upcoming pet. When paired with a pet, you will receive both a familiar cert and a cert with your pet and its new companion.

Familiars are sold during events, special sales, familiar breeding, or can be purchased through customs.

Flatsales

What is it? Flat sales are short sales announced ahead of time where pre-colored pets are sold. Flatsales may offer any of the primary or secondary species of Di’jai or familiars. On rare occasion, elder stage growth will be offered.

How does it work? We typically host "Speed" flatsales. When a staff member posts "GO!" in the thread, the first person to claim a flatsale pet gets it. Since it can be speedy, competitors are allowed to list their top few choices of the pets. How big the list is depends on the size of the flatsale. If the one they choose first is already taken, then the second one will be chosen, and so on. When all the pets have been claimed, the flatsale will be closed and the winners will be announced.

Rules
1. No whining.
2. No editing your posts.
3. No guilt tripping winners or participants.
4. You can only win one pet per flatsale.
5. Flatsale pets cannot be co-owned unless otherwise stated.
6. Not RP required.
7. Payment is expected within 24 hours, or the pet will be re-sold.
8. You can act as a “stand-in” for others if they are unable to be online to participate.
9. If it is a “Newbie Only” that means you can only participate if you do not already own a pet from this shop! (Does not include familiars.)
10. Participants must post in the thread at least once prior to the "Go" within the same day of the flatsale or they will be disqualified.

Auctions

What is it? An auction is a quick sale announced ahead of time. Pre-colored and edited pets are sold. Usually auctions offer more complicated designs or special characters. Any of the primary or secondary species of Di’jai as well as familiars or elder growth stages may be sold at an auction.

How does it work? The start and end times of the auction will be announced ahead of time, as will minimum starting bid amount and minimum bid increments. Show up at the thread at the auction time and place a bid in the thread when bids are announced open. A staff member will be confirming current high bid. If you get outbid, you can keep bidding until the auction is announced closed. If bidding is still actively ongoing at closing, the auction will be extended in 3 minute intervals until a high bidder is determined.

~None at this time~

Rules
1. No guilt tripping.
2. The winner is expected to send payment within 24 hours or the pet will be sold to the 2nd highest bidder.
3. Not RP required.
4. Auctioned pets may be co-owned but by a maximum of 2 people.
5. It’s alright to encourage the person you want to win, but do not discourage other bidders or create large distractions in the thread.

Raffles

What is it? A raffle is a longer, more randomized sale announced ahead of time. Pre-colored and edited pets are sold. Usually raffles offer more complicated designs or special characters. Any of the primary or secondary species of Di’jai as well as familiars or elder growth stages may be sold at a raffle.

How does it work? The start and end date of a raffle is announced ahead of time. Players are allowed to purchase raffle tickets, which give them a chance to win the listed prize. The more tickets a player has, the higher chance they will win the prize. When the raffle is announced open, post how many tickets you want to buy and send a trade to the shop mule, Beriothien, anytime before the closing date. When the raffle is closed, the entrants names will be put in a random number generator, multiplied by how many tickets they purchased. The random number generator will then produce the name of the winner, and the staff will announce the results in the thread.

Rules
1. No whining or begging.
2. Buying multiple tickets does not guarantee a win, but it does greatly increase your chances.
3. Not RP required.
4. Co-owning raffle pets is allowed but is limited to 2 owners.

Contests

What is it? Contests are timed events that usually do not involve purchasing a pet with platinum. Contests can be short or long depending on what type of contest is being held. They can be a competition between shop goers to display talent in an area, such as art, or they can be a game, such as a round of trivia. Any species, familiar, or growth stage can be sold through a contest.

How does it work? How a contest works depends on the type of contest! When a contest is announced, how to enter or play it will be described.

Pet Trades

If you would like to offer a pet trade, simply PM the mule with the link to your shop and what kind of pet you are offering and would like to receive. I also accept Art Trades, and in that case, simply PM the mule some samples of your art, what degree of art you are offering, and what type of pet you’d like to trade for. Customs or custom art is always traded for customs.

Customs are sales of customized pets or familiars using the base lineart. It is definitely the best way to get the exact pet that you want! However, customs are generally more time consuming to produce, and so custom openings only occur when the staff has available time to open them.

For custom openings, more detailed information, pricing, and limitations, please visit the Customs Guide in the guild.

Breedings are the pairing of two pets or two familiars resulting in offspring. The number of offspring is randomized, with the results being between 1-4 offspring. Markings, edits, and possible growth stages are dependent upon the parents and also subject to randomization. Breeding slots usually occur bi-weekly or sooner if possible.

See the Breeding Guide for more information, pricing, and limitations.
