At the edge of a small wooded area about half a mile west of Barton Town, two-story wooden cabin sits snugly between a gigantic sycamore tree and a small stream. Leading to it is an unpaved path that continues on to join a main road. The cabin itself is surrounded by flowerbeds filled with exotic plants. On the babin door is a bright read line about a foot from the ground, with a sign above it: "If you are taller that this line, please do not enter the second floor unless with special permission or under emergency." A second look reveals that the roof seems unusually low.
Inside, the first floor proved to be quite spacious, with a big fireplace, two wide, squishy couches with about ten cushions each, bean bags and love sacs of all sizes, extra cushions piled neatly in a corner, and an entire wall dedicated to bookshelves stuffed full with volumes of all kinds. A glass-topped coffee table sits in front of the two couches. Behind a low wooden screen is the kitchen. At the back of the room is an extremely narrow staircase leading up to the second floor; a ladder rests against the wall beside it, labeled "For Emergencies ONLY"

On the tiny staircase leading to the second floor is a note written in miniture handwriting.

The Note

We appologize for the delays; there have been a few unexpected obsticles during the constrution of this section of the house. We will try to get everything in order ASAP. Meanwhile, please keep out of the indicated area.

Thank you.

The Second Floor: STILL Under Construction.

Even though it's almost a month after Christmas, the tree is still sitting quite contently in its little corner. Maybe someone can manage to get it out before Easter...not many have tried.

Evil never dies

[Dr. Sychko]

June 19, 2006 I've given the thread a fair amount of warning that I'll be leaving for three weeks on my trip to China; The shop will be on hiatus until sometime after I get back on July 13th. I do hope that you will not let the thread die but...seeing what it's already doing, I don't have any expectations.
I will have net access for a short period of time, but only enough to check on things. Drop me a PM if there's anything important.
Be good!~

March 11, 2006 AB has been temporarily lowered due to Ever's little "quest". It will return to normal value (A.K.A. higher than anyone'll want to pay) once the bulk of the fund needed is aquired.

Event soon? Planning thread is in the guild.

October 8, 2005 Caer revealed some rather interesting things during a talk with Que and Nima. RP (still in session) is located on this page, or you can read a condensed summary of the important stuff under the "Story" section.

December 23, 2005 Stricter RP rules and growing requirements are now posted. Note that this does not affect the growings I'm already working on. Please PM me if you have questions.

In a nutshell: you are now required to make a post of ANY KIND at least once every 20 days (please...that's not alot to ask. Not even 2 entries a month) to maintain guardianship. There are now stricter growing requirements as well, but believe me they are NOT strict. To request a growing, you are now required to fill in a growing form.

Growing requirements and growing form can be found here.
Note that these are only MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS.
If you know that you won't be able to meet the minimum post requirement for whatever reason (EVEN if all you want is to be lazy and have a break), please notify me and announce the hiatus. If you will be gone for longer than 3 months we suggest you choose a temporary caretaker to take your place for that period of time.

December 22, 2005 Some of the giftboxes for the UCs have opened! CHECK YOUR INBOX!

December 9, 2005 Flatsale has started!

December 3, 2005 New layout just for the holidays! Also, the HQ is ICly temporarily redecorated for the month. Season's greetings to all!

November 30, 2005 Flatsale scheduled to start on the 10th of December and ending on December 17th. See Availability for details.

Meanwhile, look for updates soon.

November 23, 2005 A few days ago, Christmas giftboxes have been sent out to all the UCs. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DIRECT LINK. On Christmas, or maybe a few days before Christmas depending on the situation, I will PM you your gifts. You will know why I chose to do it this way when the gifts are sent out.

Possible flatsale soon. We need more peeps around.

Evermore will -try- to keep on a UC growing hiatus during Thanksgiving week due to large pile-up of other projects and general not-at-home-ness during much of the break. I hope you will understand ^^;;

[Dr. Sychko]

General Rules (in no particular order):

1. No spamming, no flaming, no harassing, no god moding, no begging, the usual no-noes you see around every thread here.
2. NO STEALING ART. Auto permanent ban if you even TRY. That is, if you are not kicked off of Gaia already. evil
3. Please limit your swearing. Sure, if you're RPing and your character likes to swear, go on. Just keep it to a minimal OOC.
4. The UCs are RP required, however we are not too strict on how much you have to RP. I trust the caretakers to remain active to the best of their abilities, but at least 1 entry every 20 days isn't too much to ask. Exceptions under extreme conditions ONLY.
5. Discuss whatever you like here; just keep the contents PG-13 or lower, as Gaian rules go. ^^
6. Philosophical debates are allowed; just, please, keep it from getting into aggressive negotiations. Take it outside, please.
7. Thou shall obey thy elders...err...I mean staff members I'm not that old! Really I'm not! ninja
8. Have fun.

And of course, all Gaian rules apply.

The Creation

Once upon a time, there existed a place named Ceradia. Precisely what this place does, what importance it held, and just what exactly happened there are all long lost; anyone who had any memories of it are long gone, whiped from existance by a terrible, terrible mistake. The entire city has gone, without leaving a trace in anything. Not even in Dream.

So, naturally, it was rather unexpected for a rather important member of this extinct society to turn up in Gaia about 2 years ago. Nobody marked this as an unusual event. Now, a chain of decisions starting from that point has, somehow, led to the creation of the Unidentified Creations. No one knew the slightest things about these jelly-ish miniture humanoids, not even the one who made them. Their life arose from the essence of another, their souls...well, we don't know where that came from. This is a seemingly pointless act, a waste of magic, they say. But others questioned, isn't everything done for a reason?

And nothing comes from nothing, right?

Please stay tuned for updates.

For recent developements, RPs, and such, see Caer's journal.

See guild for details on growings.



Genesis
Those little silly-putty-like 2-inch-long blobs are nothing but, well, little silly-putty-like 2-inch-long blobs of course! But only when they first arrive. After a few days in their new homes, they will be able to move around (just how they get around depends on what they learned in your house/dwelling/box/whatever you live in). Most will be able to strech beyond that 2-inch with practice. They are very squishy and good for stress relief curious little creatures that can litterally get into any nook and cranny there is. Some can even strech parts of themselves into hands, feet, tentacles, mouths for biting squeaking...almost anything. Be VERY careful what you do around them...you don't want them to learn any bad habits. wink


Genesis (gained item)
Your little silly putty buddy has found an item he or she adores from heaven knows where. This item will stay inside you little blob of a companion as it continues to learn. They are somewhat a bit less elastic, but all the more curious. They will also gain a tint of another color. Note that the item will greatly influence what they will become later in life.


Child (Unique art)
Congrats! The little blob is all grown up!...well not completely yet ^o^. The Creation will look and act (unless you taught it otherwise) like a human child, except...they're about 6 inches tall. And have funny-looking skin color. And may have certain unhuman features. And are still stretchier (more stretchy?) than humans, though not as much as before. Other than that, you have a child that's capable of things most human children can do! Still, be careful what you teach him/her. At this point, the Creation no longer has the item inside him/her; some will be seen wearing theirs as a charm, part of their clothing, a weapon, etc., while others'...disappears.


Adolescent (Unique art)
Hormones much? Better question: do they even HAVE hormones!? No information available.


Youth (Unique art)
No information available.


Adult (Unique art)
No information available.


???
The theory is that, if one Creation tries hard enough, or perhaps in the wake of an extraordinary event, he/she may be able to gain what they have not been born with. Just exactly what this theory referred to, or even who first proposed it, remains unknow. No other information available.

Flatsale

None planned.

Auctions

None planned

Contests

None planned

Other

Nothing planned

Auto Buy

AB is temporarily:
Steel-plated Ninja Band
plus 50k, in gold and/or donation items valued at Teh.

Because it'll never happen. biggrin

Will Consider: items and/or pure gold valued a total of 500K at mid-Lucky Devil
Needs basic concept description and RP example. Isn't the temp AB much lower anyways? =P
Probably won't happen either. :XP:

The fact is, I will most likely accept bribes that are a WHOLE LOT lower, if you can convince me that you should get an UC. And I'm normally pretty easy to convince.

[Dr. Sychko]

Q. How can I get one?
A. There will be contests and auctions where you can get one, even flatsales though they will be very rare. You can always try bribery...but don't feel bad if I decline your offer. I'll be picky (I hope).
However if you proved to be very determined...you never know. wink

Q. How much are they?
A. They are 13k via flatsale.

Q. WTF!!? WHY IS AB SO HIGH!?!?
A. Because, if you are willing to pay that much for one, then chances are you are serious about keeping one. I'll accept bribes that are quite low, actually, if you can show me that you care.

Q. So...are they RP required?
A. Yes they are. If you are inactive for too long, your Creation will be rehomed.

Q. How on earth did you come up with the idea?
A. I was trolling down a little pathway through the woods when it suddenly hit me full in the fac---
Of course not. But if I tell you how it came to be now, it'll spoil the whole plot. Maybe when it doesn't count as a poiler anymore, I'll tell you.

Q. So there is a metaplot!?
A. Yep! I've been planning the plot for AGES, although I didn't quite expect the shop to turn out like this. Stay tuned for updates!

Q. Can they breed?
A. Yes, but its a wee bit early to be thinking of that just now ^^.

Q. Do they have any powers?
A. Yes and no. They all have a certain amount of magical power within them due to what they are (which we won't go into detail until MUCH later into the plot), but whatever powers they develope is completely up to you. As long as the power is related to your Creation in some way.
This goes without saying, but please don't make your Creation all powerful. We no like god-moding in here.

Q. Can I Be a guest artist or draw my own UC? Can I work here?
A. No to the first two, and it will most likely stay that way. I have my own reasons. As for working here...at times, I might need someone to help manage things, read through journals, or help mod plot-related RPs. But for the moment, none of that is needed.

If you are still confused, drop this mule a PM!

[Dr. Sychko]

Event

This is a treasure-hunt random event! I will leave clues in various threads, not necessarily in this one. (Maybe even in another forum.) Each clue will lead on to the next.
Everyone is free to join.

The prize? TBA. It'll be something like last time's (NOT a Creation).

You may work with someone else, but note that there will only be ONE winner. Others will recieve a participation prize.

All the clues will be posted like this:

Someone

Clue

Hints:

If the clue asks for a number, it will have something to do with posts in that thread; it'll either be page number or reply number.

Look over the affiliates of each thread. It helps.

DON'T try to look in my post history. It'll be VERY far back and maybe not in there at all.


You first clue is:

Someone

Front of Berkley's nerdy brainhouse.

[Dr. Sychko]

Name: Caerell
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown...looks to be in her late teens...?
Race: good question.
Occupation: Running the UC HQ
Personality: She's a very naive person who sees the best in everybody. But when she dislikes someone, she never hesitates to show it. Usually a bit hyper, silly at times. She generally likes to meet new people and hang out with both new and old friends. She can also be very stubborn. It's very hard to get on her bad side...which, thankfully, no one has managed to achieve yet. But if you do, its wise to start diggin' ye grave and good luck...maybe she'll leave a piece of you to bury...
Abilities: Teleport by dissolving into smoke; otherwise unknown
Status: Christmas! Kwanzaa! Presents! FOOD!!!
Others: nothing to put here yet...


Name: Imrine
Gender: Female
Age: Teen
Race: Unidentified Creation
Occupation: Reading...seriously, there isn't much a 8-inch-tall thing can do around here.
Personality: She is calm (when eft undisturbed), and...well, cold is the best way for it. She doesn't like to be bothered and preferrs to be alone. She gets irritated easily, but usually keeps her thoughts to herself. There also seems to be a certain liking for mischief...although she always makes sure the prank won't harm anybody. Not permanently, anyways.
Abilities: ...Another good question. Seems to be good with weapons.
Status: I am NOT an angel. evil
Others: Caer calls her the "First Child", a name Imrine detests. Apparantly the name referrs to her being (at least from what we know of) the first creation.



The Creator
The UC are drawn to the one who created them, but they can only feel a general presence; they do not feel it strongly enough to realize who it actually IS. They will only know when they are near him/her/it, but doesn't know how far. They will not realize who it is even if they are right next to this Creator. It is a very vague bond, but there nonetheless.

And the creator just happens to be in the HQ most of the times, somewhere, quite possibly in one of the back rooms...

Not much is known about this "Creator", though it is quite possible that Imrine and Caerell knows perfectly clear who it is.

The Accounts

These are the accounts that Ever has access to and may use from time to time.

Unidentified Creations
The shop mule. I will generally, but may not always, log in to this account every time I get net access. PMs will be responded to relatively quickly. Trades should also be sent to this account.

evermore_crystal
My main account (obviously). Needless to say, this is the account I will always log on to first. DO NOT PM this account on UC related bussiness unless its an emergency, or you think that the matter relates to me PERSONALLY. Gifts and donations for MEH AND MEH ONLY (:B *coffcoff*) should also be sent to this account.

Caerell
This is, obviously, the mule for Caer. I will use this account for RP purposes and stuff. I don't check this account that often, so please don't send anything to this mule.

And two others that I shall not name for reasons

[Dr. Sychko]
