[Rules]


1.____ Do Not Steal any art, formatting, concepts, or the storyline from this shop as your own.
2.____ Heroes are roleplay required. Fae-kind and Beast-kind are not.
Beyond the Wishing Well will rehome if there has been a period of 3 months or longer of
inactivity without a hiatus notice for heroes beyond the child stage. Full-custom Heroes are the only exception to this rule because I would feel weird to give your own creation away.
3.____ Do not ask when certs or growths are happening.
Heroes will grow whenever Beyond the Wishing Well has time to do them.
If you feel as though you've been skipped, politely PM the mule.
4.____ Read Everything before asking questions in the thread, or PMing the mule if it's a more difficult to answer question.
5.____ No Drama in the thread. If you have a gripe about someone, PM them and work it out there.
If that goes to no avail, politely PM a staff member and we'll try to help you out.
6.____ Staff's Words are God. The staff has the last say, do not argue.
7.____ Be Polite in thread as well as when roleplaying. We don't want any feelings hurt, this is purely fictional!

[FAQs]

Soon to Come! If you have a question, please ask in the thread and I will try to answer it.

[Herolore]

"Have you ever wondered; what lies beyond the wishing well?"

You were peacefully daydreaming, sitting atop an abandoned stone well overgrown with weeds
and vines, when a wispy, cracked voice brought you back to reality. You turn towards the voice,
and spotted a figure in a dark cloak. It was bent over almost in half, and its face was covered by
a long hood. It stood its ground, waiting for an answer.

You wonder whether you should say something to the strange figure. All your senses were on
alert, as if expecting something evil to happen. There was no visual hint of danger; the person
wasn't wielding a weapon, didn't seem very strong, and there was no way the person could
outrun you when it couldn't even stand up straight. What was this strange feeling?

"Would you like to find out?"

The hooded figure pulled out a gnarled staff from out under its cloak. The thing was huge! No
way it could have been hidden so effortlessly inside a sleeve! It moved with such speed, that
you could only watch in amazement. Your brain couldn't even register what was going on. The
crystal globe upon the top of the staff glowed an unnatural bright green. You caught a glimpse
of the person's scrawny arm and what looked like a tattoo of some weird symbol on the
forearm, and then everything went dark.

You tried had to open your eyes, but kept falling in and out of consciousness every few
seconds. You heard the sound of water dripping, and a falling sensation. Is this inside the well?

The voice echoed high above, "I'll see you in a few years..."

Then, everything faded, while you continued falling into the darkness.

[Heroes]

Custom lined humans, with the exception of freebies. First stage of freebies will be on a base
and progress onto custom lines if role play requirements are met. In thread activity, as well as
roleplay requirements must be met before growth.


Obtainable through: Auctions, contests, games, and customs.
Price: Variable



Stage 1: Child (7-10). Talking to animals is not normal!
-- Requirement to Advance: 3 Solo, 3 Group RP // Journal Set Up.
Stage 2: Teen (11-15). You're just like everyone else, when are you going to aspire
to be anything more? No battles are required, since you will most likely be defeated, but no one
will stop you if you try. Stages from teen and above are RP required.
-- Requirement to Advance: 6 Solo, 6 Group // Complete Academy of Enchantment (AE) Requirements.
Stage 3: Student (16-21). Six years of school?! That's more than enough to learn
everything there is to be known! Whether it be might or magic, you can now choose the path
you wish to follow. Focuses available: Magic, Weaponry, Alchemy
-- Requirement to Advance: 10 Solo, 10 Group, 5 Battles, Graduation Requirements.
Stage 4: Adventurer. Decided to be a contributing member of society now, huh?
That's one step up from being a total and complete failure. This is the last stage for Heroes,
unless you work really hard to advance.
-- Requirement to Advance: 16 Solo, 16 Group, 10 Battles, 1 Plot RP, and be chosen to advance
to Legendary stage. Basically, you must contribute a lot, and be acknowledged throughout the shop.
Stage 5: Legendary. You finally did it! History books echo your name, may it be
through greatness of good or darkest of evils... Through success and defeat, nothing can stand
in your way. This stage is reserved for the strongest, and most dedicated.
-------------------------------------
Alternate Stage: Aristocracy. Not everyone is cut out for this. The royal family does
not approve of nobodies. Princes/Princess may be auctioned at a low, low percentage, and can
grow through all stages with the same requirements. RP is required, otherwise your character
will be rehomed and cry as you may, they will not be given back to you.







[Fae-kind]

Single stage, semi-customizable bases. This category is reserved for half-humans. You do not
need to have a hero to own a Fae. Fae-kind will interact with anyone, but only alchemists can
capture and summon Fae-kind to battle. If a Fae-kind is not attached to an alchemist, they are
free-living, and wander outside of the school.


Obtainable through: Flatsales and Customs.
Price: 15k for flatsales.
Classes: Mer, Dryad, Demon...






[Beast-kind]

Single stage, color-customizable bases. This category is reserved for non-humans.

Species: Common: Wolf, Fox
Uncommon: Gryphon, Dragon
Rare: Kirin, Unicorn

[Stages Info]

Stage 1: Child (7-10). When you awoke, you were in a strange little town. The
townspeople were busying about their daily lives, and took no notice to you. You stood and
brushed yourself off, before proceeding to find out what happened, and where you were.
Something feels strange about yourself that you couldn't quite narrow down. You began to
explore the little town, walking past a shop window. Your reflection caught your eye... and you
did a double take at the image. You seemed to have traveled backwards in time because you
don't look any older than 7!
The story focuses on one town, though there are children from far away lands that attend the
Academy of Enchantment (AE). Younger children would play in town, and older ones may be
given permission to play nearby in the hillside and riverside. They are given strict warning not to
go near the forest, though, for dangerous creatures that devour children whole dwell.

Stage 2: Teen (11-15). Most teenagers have been given permission to explore
nearby lands. Many look in awe at the AE, as it is the first building that they come upon when
on the way to the marketplace. They hope to one day be able to attend, though try as they
might, there was seemingly no way in and no way to apply... There are rumors floating around
that the AE chooses you and not the other way around. I wonder how that works?

Stage 3: Student (16-21). Hopefully, you've been accepted into AE! It turns out this
is a battle school, and magic is real?! There are three types of focuses; magic, weaponry, and
alchemy. You will have to take classes in each to be well-rounded, but your focus is where you
will be spending the most time, and maybe making the most friends in. Magic attacks and
support are long-ranged, and you will be spending your time raising your intelligence. There are
two types of magic; white and black magic. White is support, while black magic is offense.
Weaponry makes use of all sorts of weapons, and you should raise your strength. Beginners
start with swords, daggers, bows, axes, or spears, but can gradually move on to more
advanced weaponry. Alchemy is summoning of Fae-kind to help you in battle, so that you
barely have to lift a finger. You will be raising your mind power to be able to befriend and summon Fae-kind.

Stage 4: Adventurer. You're out of school, time to get a bit of experience under your
belt. With your focus mastered, join up with a couple of friends and try to make a name for
yourself. Do whatever you want, but watch out for the creatures in the forest. They really
devour people whole; turns out it wasn't a story just to scare kids!

Stage 5: Legendary. Well, if you reach this stage, you've mastered everything and
people from miles away know who you are. There's nothing left to explain! Perks are a
legendary stage with a unique weapon that can be whatever you choose. You can kill weak
enemies with a single slash, people will bow at your feet, quiver in fear... etc.



[Focuses]
Weaponry: Weaponry includes swords, daggers, spears, bows, axes, or maces.
Your highest statistic is strength.
Magic: Magic wielders use wands, staffs, dolls, books, or scrolls.
Your highest statistic is intelligence.
Alchemy: Alchemists use charms to summon Fae-kind, and are the only class that can
summon Fae-kind to battle. As a Student, you are able to summon one: as an Adventurer, two;
and as Legendary, three. Your highest statistic is mind.



[Statistics]
Strength: Ability to pick up heavy weaponry and use them in battle.
Intelligence: Knowledge to conjure white and black magic.
Mind: Willpower to summon Fae-kind into battle.
-----------------------------
Defense: Supporters of their allies.
Charm: Are you attractive? This determines your appearance.
Alliance: Are you a hero who does goodness or one who dotes in evil? This determines your appearance.



[NPCs]-- Not yet complete!
Headmaster: Stern, and never cracks a joke. Most students are afraid of even
walking in the same hallway as him. The worst he can do is give you detention, right?
Celeste, Professor of Magic:
Alethea, Professor of Weaponry:
Professor of Alchemy:
Shop Items Owner:
Weaponry Owner:
Cornelius, the Librarian: Frail, clumsy, old man with thick glasses. He is always
dropping the books when tidying up the library. He used to be a magician, but he's so old now
that he can't even point his wand in the right direction. There's a rumor that magical creatures
escape from the books in his library, but if asked about it, he will say he's never seen such a
curious phenomenon.



[Types of RP]-- Not yet complete!
Solo: One entry must be at least 450 words long. It can be in a diary form, or story
form, and can be written in your RP journal in the guild, or in your personal Gaia journal. Solo
RPs show how your character has grown by founding out about the town or school. It can show
how your character reacts to a situation, how a situation has changed or shaped their
personality, their thoughts and views about the town or school, or a flashback of their history. It
may include an encounter with your own Fae or Beast-kind, or a random one. You are free to
RP random Fae or Beast-kind that do not exist, but may not RP one that belongs to someone else.
Group: These must include at least one other person, have a plot, and you must
post at least 5 times to earn credit for the group RP. There are no limits to plot ideas; they may
be meetings, adventures, sports, or games, just to give you a few ideas.
Battle: These must include at least one other person and/or a monster, and
someone must win the battle. Don't worry, if you are defeated, you will still gain experience.
You may fight a monster alone, team up with someone to fight a monster, or you may fight
another person. Each battle with someone aligned to either the good or evil side will align you a
bit towards the opposite side. For example: if you fight someone from the evil side, you will lean
a bit towards the good side. Monsters may also have a good or evil property.

waiting for last minute work.
- Have a program that can open .PSD files with transparency, layers, and folders.
- Have good color theory, be able to create unique patterns, and interesting color combinations.
Color in the lines, and shading layer if it looks better that way!

opening per month (4 slots maximum).
- Maximum: 2 flatsales per month (up to 8 single stage pets). Optional one custom

[Herolore]

[Customs]
Customs are single stage only. There is no promise that Heroes will grow. Heroes will grow
through the normal way, and Fae and Beast-kind only come with a single stage anyway.
Full-custom Heroes are the only ones that will not be rehomed because I would feel weird
rehoming a design that is yours. Semi-customs, however, may be rehomed after a period of 3
months without RPing, and without a notice sent to the mule.
[RL Payment]
This option is open for all types of customs and breedings from Pandaphilic, be it Beast-kind, Fae-kind, or Heroes. The additional perk for RL payment is that your Hero will never be
rehomed, even if it is a semi-custom, and you will receive one free Beast-kind to go along with
Hero RL customs. You may even commission for all stages to grow without RP.
Oh, the possibilities!



[Heroes]
Semi-custom: You choose a temperament and maybe a few colors. The Wishing
Well will choose how the rest looks and where the colors go. You may custom for a child, teen,
or student ONLY.
Pricing: Child: 300k
Teen: 600k
Student: 1M and you can choose a focus and weapon type.

Full-custom: Your hero will look exactly as you want! You may custom for a child,
teen, or student ONLY. Gold commission slots will be very rare.
Pricing: Child: 1M
Teen: 2M
Student: 3M and you can choose a focus and weapon type, as well as how it looks.



[Fae-Kind]
Semi-custom: Choose up to three colors. The pattern and where the colors go is
colorist choice. No edits are allowed.
Pricing: 50k.

Full-custom: Choose any color, pattern, and where they go, and hairstyle if
applicable. No edits are allowed.
Pricing: 100k.



[Beast-Kind]
Semi-custom: Choose up to three colors. The pattern and where the colors go is
colorist choice. No edits are allowed.
Pricing: Common: 30k.
Uncommon: 45k.
Rare: 75k.

Full-custom: Choose any color, pattern, and where they go, and hairstyle if
applicable. No edits are allowed.
Pricing: Common: 60k.
Uncommon: 90k.
Rare: 150k.



[Breeding]
Breeding is treated the same as customs, so you may request for a breeding if custom slots
are open. They will always yield 2 children, and each must go to a different "owner," whether
they be given away (adoption) or kept by the parents.
Requirements: Adventurer stage or above. Sufficient RP to document their relationship,
which should be at least 3 complete RPs.
Pricing: 600k.
