Object

Huh, strange indeed. You've just received a cursed object ? apparently it'll grow into a child if you take good care of it. When it glows or shakes it'll morph, or something. This will be the ONLY stage where RP will not be mandatory, but it won't last very long in the first place.

Toddler

Aw, your little one has emerged! They might come with a personality already set, or perhaps they'll be curious, social butterflies willing to change to follow the ones they learn to love. Either way, you're really going to have to start looking after them! They're likely to get into mischief and they're curse might even start affecting others, along with themselves. At this stage, they're going to be very dependent upon you.


Kid

Already they're starting to grow up! Watch out, as at this point their personality and curse are both going to really start showing up. Even strange powers and abilities may be unearthed while they are going through this stage of their life. By now they're a bit more independent and may even try to do more things by themselves.


Teen

Ah, the teenage years. Your darling baby is growing up! And they act just like human teenagers do, too; constant breaks at freedom, constant fight, running after the opposite gender (or perhaps the same!) and they'll be uncooperative to boot. Any powers they have will really start to show up during this stage. The curse will start causing more things to happen, too ? whether they are negative or positive.


Youth

Coming soon

General Rules -
1. No art theft. ;_; This speaks for itself. I work hard on these, and not only will you get in seriosu trouble with me, but you will be reported to a moderator of Gaia and dealt with accordingly.
2. No fighting. I don't want this thread to turn into a hatefest. Also, do not provoke other people.
3. No whining. Seriously. Nobody likes a whiner. I've heard enough of it in the online games I play.
4. Do not show any rudeness to another person while in this thread. This means no swearing, insulting or otherwise attacking any posters.
5. You may have a maximum of TWO Superstitions - and your first Superstition MUST reach adult before you can get another. This may be increased or decreased to one, depending.
6. When RP is going on, all posts MUST be in paranthesis to distinguish OOC chatter from actual role-playing. Eg, ((Hi guys!)), [[Hey, wassup yo?]]
7. Please ask before hopping into or starting an RP with someone. Posting an RP for all to join is fine, however.
8. What I say goes! I have the power to change these rules whenever I so wish to do as such.

Flatsale Rules -
1. Stay away from bad sportsmanship. No whining if you lose, and no gloating if you win. You'll always get more chances of getting one. And also, you'll only make people feel bad if you gloat about your win if you receive one.
2. Post the prompt reply within the allocated time. This is a given. Your entry will not be counted if it happens to be posted late.
3. You must PM your entry to the shop mule, or post here in the thread. Do NOT Pm it to Lividie, or anybody else.

There are a few things you must know before you begin RPing with your knew Superstition, so I highly suggest you read this post.

RP Rules;
1. Please, PLEASE do NOT take ANY control of anyone else's character at ANY time without permission of the character's player. This is called godmodding, and is frowned upon in many (probably all) roleplay forums and threads.
2. You must role-play and post in your Superstition's journal once every two months at the very least. These must also be fairly long posts if that is how sparsely you are going to be posting and/or roleplaying that sparsely.
3. Co-owning is not allowed. There are exceptions, but I'd really prefer if this didn't happen.
4. Twins are possible, but super-rare. Please do not ask for these. Only available in pet trade I offer you, or auctions. These will only ever be contrasting superstitions, eg. A four and five leaf clover.
5. Do not ask to buy someone else's Superstition. Not only are the owners not allowed to do this, but it is very rude.
6. Please do not base the appearance of your Superstition on another character, especially if it is not yours. No, you cannot have a Naruto Superstition or <insert other forum breedable here>.
7. You may have a maximum of TWO Superstitions - and your first Superstition MUST reach adult before you can get another. This may be increased or decreased to one, depending.

Growing;
When you have decided that you have fulfilled requirements and have done every roleplay/posts in your journals, then you may send a PM to the shop mule Superstitionz requesting to grow your Superstition. Every stage should last longer than the previous stage. You may not request when they will emerge from their item or grow from toddler to kid.

If there are any specific items, clothing or features you would like your Superstition to have, please let me know in your growing request! If you really want a specific piece of clothing or an item that will go on the kid stage, you will have roughly a month or so to request them.

Journal;
When setting up your journal, I suggest you claim 10-14 posts on the front page for information about your Superstition, the carer of your Superstition, friends, enemies, lovers, etc. The first post will be done by the Superstitionz mule and will contain a brief overview of your Superstition along with their tag. You can look at some other Superstition journals to get an idea of how to set it up.

As for posting, it can be convenient to give your posts titles so they are easy to read and order. When posting entries into an actual journal of your Superstition's or character's journal, it is also a good idea to add in the date. Posted RPs can be easily read by changing the colours of the people that post or characters being played.

Buildings and rooms for thread RP;
The first, and most significant of the two buildings pertaining to the Superstitions, is the small, single-storey building crammed into a seemingly impossible spot. It's not very pretty, with paint peeling off here and there. Here is where the objects of the superstitions themselves are sold, specifically by Sierra. Occasionally, Namir or Lividie may possibly be working behind the counter.

The majority of the items up for sale are just pieces of junk, mostly useless. Scraps of metal here, pens and pencils over there. All of these are appear to be shoved without care onto display. There's not much space to move around. Due to the alluring power of the Superstition objects, they are the first to be sold until Namir finds more of these objects.

In the shop, there are only three rooms;

1. A back room, where some large items or special Superstitions are kept.
2. A small bathroom in the corner.
3. Where you browse and buy things.

The second is a house right next to it, owned by Lividie. There are currently four residents, five if you count Kyo. The condition of this building is much better; it makes the store appear like a run down shack that had been hit by a volcano then trampled over by a horde of angry, stampeding rhinos. Its walls are pristine and white, even with a few vines growing controlled over certain areas. The front garden is fairly fancy, with trees and flowers adorning every available space. There are a few seats and patches of ground to sit at. A cobblestone path leads up to the porch and front door. There's even a small 'tower' off the front left corner of the house, which leads up to a third storey.

The only areas available for visitors and Superstitions are the rooms downstairs, unless somebody is invited upstairs. The majority of this storey is taken up by the large living room. There's a large and fancy flat screen television with a DvD player, a CD player with speakers and a large selection of CDs (the DvDs are also kept here), many couches, a large area with a few bean bags which can be used for any activities and an area to sit and read with a large window in the circular area of the 'tower'. All is carpeted with springy and clean white carpetting.

The rooms available for usage here are;

1. The living room
2. Bath room
3. Kitchen and dining room
4. A spare bedroom which can be used for private chat
5. Reading/sitting area

Also – even if you're highly adventurous and brave, I strongly suggest that you DO NOT go up into that one room on the third floor. Do NOT, under any circumstance, enter anything that glows. The much better fate is simply to inspire the wrath of Lividie.

There are also other areas nearby if you wish to go on an adventure. A small patch of bushland is just at the end of the street, for example. It contains river inhabited by fish if you wish to try your hand at the sport of fishing. You could also go try out the park just a couple of houses away – plenty of room to run around, or you could try the play equipment. Conveniently, it's usually deserted and thus good for those wishing for a fun time to run around undisturbed by the public.
