Hi, I am the manager of the Flora Flora B/C Shop.
Right now we really, really need some active staff.

If you are interested, please stick around. We have lots of work that needs to get done.

The Main Story ::

Once upon a time, there was a women... She wanted a daughter so bad, but to her dismay she could not give birth to any children (she was barren).
So she went out one day to consult the good witch of the village. This witch gave the women a flower seed and told the women to plant the seed and care for it and eventually a child would appear. The women was very happy at this and took the seed. Upon getting home the women potted the seed. 3 days later, after much care the flower had sprouted and began to unfold its petals. Low and behold, in the middle of the flower there was a child the size of the womens thumb. The women then decided to call the child Thumbalina. 1-2 years later, Thumbalina was fully grown (to the size of a hand) and had found her true love.

Today this story continues, with Thumbalina's children and grandchildren...

As the years went by, things slowly changed. The world of the flower children began to be just like the one of the humans. Colonies were created and soon began to make residence wherever they could. They made homes out of whatever was around of them, and that tended to distinguish them from the other groups. However, they had no problems getting along and were more than welcome to aid their allies to survive.

However, time had passed and the unity they once had was now growing thin, and they now chose to fend for themselves. After all, there wasn’t enough food for all them if they all stuck together. So, it was all in there best interest to stay in their own territories and make ends meet by themselves. But along came a particularly harsh winter and it would take everything him them to survive it. Even to let others die.

One particular group had become especially desperate and were on the brink of starvation. And so, they decided to venture out on the territory of another’s. In reality, they hadn’t been doing much better than the other group. With children blossoming rapidly, there were many mouths to feed. And finally, both groups met each other face. At first it was a passive conversation, with merely both groups stating they were down on their luck on food, but which soon turned into a brawl.

The group that had been seeking for food, which was mainly composed of White Lotuses, were now overcome with animal instinct. Their minds had been warped from the advanced state of hunger they were in. They didn’t care whether they died, because that is what they would face in a few short days. The second group were at a severe disadvantage as they had not anticipated the attack, and were always very passive. They were Black Roses, who nearly always kept to themselves and preferred to meddle into the affairs of the other groups.

The event shouldn’t even be worthy of the title of a battle. It was a massacre. But by a stroke of luck, one family had escaped in the midst of all the chaos. They were horrified by the events that had transpired on that one cold, winter’s night. They swore revenge against any living Lotus, and every other flower who dared to align themselves with them. And so, that family began to band themselves with other roses, of any colour and retold them their story. They agreed to help in the extermination .The roses were born with a high sense of loyalty and pride, and would be willing to help out any family members.

And after months of planning, the Roses struck. It was an ambush, one that the Lotuses had never seen coming. That was how it was supposed to be. No mercy would be given, as they had received none. However, now every group had some sort of self defence to protect themselves. They had learned better than to stand unarmed. They had with them weapons, armour, magic. The battle was long and hard, and there were losses on both sides. Finally, it was retreat from the both of them, but their point had been made. They held a grudge, and they would fight another day.

Word got around, and it was nearly unanimous that the Black Roses were in the wrong. Yes, what the White Lotuses had done was not right, but they had no choice in the matter, their bodies had been taken over. And so, all the other flowers banned together with the White Lotuses against the Black Roses. And so, a new measure was created to distinguish them all. A tattoo would now be branded on every child at the ripe of age of ten; the tattoo would be of their flower. Every clan soon adopted it, and now the line was truly divided between them. Nothing could undo the events that had transpired or undo the grudges that both sides of bore. And now, every single man and woman was mixed into their war. You were either with them or against them, there was nothing in between. Will you choose to fight for your honour, or for peace? But more importantly, which side will you lay allegiance to?

Details on what the story will be like ::

The plot should be divided in to two points of view. First the blirosens. And then the lotusians. The blirosens are mostly war mongers, but in the midst of them are those who have seen too much death and would like the war to end and some that even go awol and end up joining the lotusians.The lotusians have their own problems to deal with :: In the lotusian ranks groups are forming. Those who just want peace and those who would like to fight back in a peaceful matter.
The blirosens are run by a mysterious flora. No one has seen the actual leader except for the elite few in the militia. The story continuation will be gradually released to the front page of the thread, in parts. Until then it will be in the crew section of the guild.

Cyfelle: A elfen wiccan who is trying to restore the Blood Forest and healer of the Florians. She can be quite grumpy at times but is very helpful and a great healer.

Flora the Goddess: The Goddess of flowers and not much is known about her. All is known that she created the world and the Florians. But she isn't a mythical being because she is a living immortal. A lot of Florians have claimed to seen her. In the legends, she is described as a beautiful Florian which vines twirling around her arms. She has a light orange-yellow hair and doesn't resemble any flower.

Other Places:

The Blood Forest: A forest where they had the Ambush of the Roses. It is called the Blood Forest because the blood made the forest red. The forest is in between the Lotustian and Blirosens.

The Hut of Cyfelle: The house of the elfen Cyfelle, the healer of the woods. It is in the middle of the blood forest.

Wild Woods: Freaky woods with no real name. Broad area surrounded by trees, it's a natural maze. But legend says that deep in the forest, where only the bravest can reach, there is something so valuable. But to get there you must go through the woods and beat all the beasts. Some beasts are big as a house.

The Blirosens are known to be skilled warriors. Their ways are very similar to Sparta. Strong, strict, brave. These are some of the characteristics that can be found in Blirosens. Even their technology is much based on weapons. Young boys go to military at their late teen and return when they reach adulthood. This is not an exception for girls. Young girls goo physical school and were trained to become great athletes. But Blirosens aren't always focused in military. They're also greatly interested in politics, economy, business and religion. In fact some of the most sacred priests and priestesses are Blirosens. Not many are interested in arts but a few are and very talented. Blirosens include their allegiance flower clans.

The Lotustians are known to be skilled artisans. Their ways are very similar to Athens. Smart, artistic, creative. These are some of the characteristics that can be found in Lotustians. Their lives are very much focused on art, music, dance, drama, literature and all forms of art. Boys and girls attend a type of art school they want to go since their childhood. When they become adults, they get a job that is related to what they majored in. But Lotustians are also interested in magic, science, math and history. Some of the most famous scholars are Lotustians. Some are interested in military but a few are and very talented in it. Lotustians include their allegiance flower clans.

:: Currency ::
The Lotustians use white coins called Cron. On the front it has a picture of a lotus and on the back it has a picture of a water drop.
The Blirosens use black coins called Sen. On the front it has a picture of a rose and on the back it has a picture of stem with thorns.

:: Technology ::
Quite modernistic but everything is related with plants. For examples, one kind of transportation would be a car made out of pumpkin. Picture Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. But in a way it's also medieval because there are elves and all.

:: Jobs ::
When you become an adult, you'll visit the job agency and get a job. The kinds of jobs are: art, music, dance, literature, military, politics, economy, math, science, history, business, religion, sport, drama and more! There are three steps in each job and there are quests. When you have completed every quest for each step, you'll be promoted! Try to be at the top!

:: Religions & Mythology ::
To the Florians, gods are important as life itself. Although the technology is quite advanced, they still believe in gods as the creator of world. There are many different gods for different things. The gods and goddesses names are same in both kingdoms.

Flora : head goddess
Kelno :head god
Delios : god of ground and earth
Cylia :goddess of water
Helenon : god of light
Nyxlie : goddess of night and darkness
Zepel : god of death and underworld
and much more but they are the main gods and goddesses.

RP Managers
I'm looking for people who will be able to be active a lot of the time, as these pets are RP intensive.

Your first task would be to write a prompt for those who have just bought a flora.
The prompt would be along the lines of ::
Here's your flora! How do you react? How does your new flora react? Will you take care of it?

Some quick info on the first stage flora ::
The flowers, depending on how you treat them or care for them can droop, wilt, seem to be happy by opening their petals, and they murmur/hum.
