General Shop Rules and Guidelines…
| 1 | Do NOT use, alter, copy, trace, 'heavily reference', or otherwise tamper with the artwork. This is an offense that can not only get you instantly blacklisted from the shop, but reported to the gaia admins as well.

| 2 | Follow the Gaiaonline Terms of Service.

| 3 | No begging for a pet! Everyone will have a chance to receive a dog in time. If you frequent the thread, keep an eye on our events, and keep an overall good attitude you'll eventually get one.

| 4 | Leave the drama at the door. We don't need anyone bickering for any reason. Religion, politics, controversial topics, the whole nine yards are best left to the pages of the chatterbox. We want to keep this as friendly of an environment as possible. If you don't like someone be the bigger person and ignore them. Anyone seen stirring up trouble, intimidating newbies, or otherwise causing tension will be warned. If the behavior continues- they'll be added to the gray list.

| 5 | Save everything to your own server! We can't stress this enough! Things happen. Hard drives fail, computers crash, memory is lost, etc. If you fail to save your own certs and images, we can't be held responsible if you loose them.

| 6 | Roleplay is not required, but it is heavily encouraged. You cannot breed your dog if you don't role play, you cannot maintain a pack if you don't role play, etc.

** We reserve the right to add/edit the rules as we see fit. **

| FAQ |

Q: What is this shop based off of?
A: The Animes Ginga Densetsu Weed and Ginga Nagareboshi Gin.

Q: Do I have to have seen the anime/read the manga to role play?
A: Nope! Just read over the story and you should be fine. If you have any questions feel free to ask in-thread. Owner and thread-goers should be able to help you out.

Q: Are we allowed to play humans?
A: It's encouraged actually! Just keep in mind that they're normal, average, everyday humans. No gaia characters, no super heros, no mutants, no elves, demons, etc. Just humans. Keep in mind also that there will be benefits to owned dogs that wild and stray dogs will not have access to!

Q: Can we co-own?
A: At this time, no.

Q: Is there a limit on how many dogs you can have?
A: Nope.

Q: Are cosplays available?
A: To an extent. We'll allow the colors and occasionally 'hair' edits. We won't be doing any weapons or clothing however. No dog wants to wear pants or have full plate armor on.

Q: Are dogs the only species in this shop?
A: There will be familiars such as cats, crows, etc. eventually, but for the most part, yes.

Q: Can we have genetically altered dogs!?
A: For now- no. They will be obtained through special events.

Q: Can I play a homosexual/bisexual dog/familar?
A: No. This is a new rule that will apply to -all- shops run by Thalion or featuring her artwork. If you absolutely must play a character of this lifestyle choice- there are hundreds of other shops on gaia.

Q: Will the dogs have special abilities like in the show?
A: To prevent god-moding- no.

Q: I don't want my dog anymore. Can I sell it?
A: No! If you have a dog you want to give away, you can surrender it to the pound and the staff will re-home it for free. Also if there's extra pups you'd like to give away feel free to run a -free- rp contest. Let the staff now and we'll put up a link on the second page.

| RP Rules & Guidelines |
... Do NOT play in netspeak. It really doesn't take much effort to type out words like "Two", "You", etc.
... Do NOT godmode. This includes assuming actions of someone else's characters, making your character invincible, allowing out-of-character knowledge to become in-character knowledge, etc. In other words, use common sense.
... Again, the dogs have no special abilities. They cannot use spinning, glowing fang blades of death, they can't spring between trees like ninjas, they can't magically see into the minds of others.
... Character death happens! But you must have permission from the owner before their pet is killed off. Likewise, don't put your character into a dangerous in-game situation and assume they'll get away without a scratch.
... The setting is modern earth. This means no hover cars, no aliens, no advanced technology. Modern means modern.
... You may play in other countries- just be reasonable about it. This means if you're playing a dog that's in the United States, you cannot have your dog interact with a dog in Japan.
... Try not to make every owner an abusive one. Drama's fine in reasonable ammounts.
... Keep everything pg13. This means no overly-detailed gore, no sex scenes, no detailed drug use scenes, etc.
... Dogs are able to speak with other animals like cats, crows, etc. However, there is no way -ever- that a dog and a human (or any other animal and a human) can communicate.
... You cannot play a dog or familar that you don't own. This means that if you don't have the art for the dog/familar, you can't play it.

Ordering…
1…Wait for slots to open. Every colorist will open a few at a time when -they- announce it. In most cases, there will be a limited number of slots. They will not re-open until the colorist has completed orders and received full payment.
2…Pay attention! Some artists cannot do fancy or designer collars. Pay attention to what the artists will and will not do.
3…Fill out the form (see below) and post your order here -in the thread-.
4…Send payment to the colorist you’re ordering from. They will not begin your order until you have paid in full. (This means a completed trade.)
5…Unless the colorist says otherwise, you may take up to 5 slots per opening. Some colorists may open slots for those who have yet to order yet- remember to check on the terms of each colorist’s opening.
Rules…
…NO cosplays. Only original characters will be permitted.
…We do not do clothing-as-markings here. So don’t ask.
…Only small breed dogs (Chihuahua and Dachshund right now) can wear clothing, and for this event we’re limiting them to t-shirts.
…Items are limited to the designer collar. We will follow the same rules and standards for what is and isn’t allowed for edits as our standard customs.
…Only donation items and cash shop items are accepted as payment. They’re taken at mid-tektek for December 2nd.
…We cannot ‘break change’. So if you send items that go over your payment we cannot return the difference.
…The dogs will not be wearing the ordered collars. Colorists will choose how the collars look.
...You cannot order one for yourself! This is a gift-giving event. :3
