At The Roost we have the final say, we are fair but stern

PM Stixon for Questions
For all your Pidge-related problems please PM Stixon 'the glamourous mule'.

Don't be Pain Incarnate
bombing around this place dishing out abuse and horror isn't the best way to go

Don't Steal the Art
Just don't, its naughty

Don't Whinge and Whine
yes sometimes we all get down, but please don't make everyone suicidal. No one would like that

Don't be a sore loser
If you don't win something dust yourself off and try again, it makes winning all the sweeter

If in Doubt ask Stixon
If you want your uncerted pidge or want to ask any question don't hesitate to PM Stixon (The mule gets bored with just Pidges for company)

Follow The Gaia TOS
just in case it wasn't obvious :3

Prices are fixed
If a Pidge is selling at 5k it will go at 5k please don't beg, save up your gold

Pidge's are not Real
Please don't bombard me with inaccuracy with pigeons. I'll try my best to keep them semi believable, but I'm not and never will be a bird expert, so try to give me a little creative fun with these here

It was bound to happen eventually, with so many pigeons a spark of intelligence was surely going to appear at some point. However small that the spark may be...


Some pigeons suddenly started to notice something was wrong they could fathom ideas that their ungifted flock-mates couldn't even begin to grasp. They strived for something bigger and something better. Big Ma's was known to be one of the first Pidges to gather similar brighter pigeons together she collected a flock together and took roost. These pigeons started a structures society with systems and rules. They used a voting system to elect their current leaders. After a while they started to create their own form of medicine and cared for their sick, elderly and wounded. Before long the roost was a working living and breathing thing it functioned well and they even found time now for entertainment.

The Pigeons were weary of humans they knew they killed their kind with tainted food, although they couldn't help but be intrigued by their inventions and lives. They would observe from afar and investigate, they discovered that some could even read the words (although not understand their meaning) these words were considered intelligent and they would name themselves after human words they had found.

These intelligent pigeons started to distinguish themselves from the average pigeon by calling themselves 'Pidge'

Common Pidge

The Common pidge is currently available in three patterns

Slate

User Image

slate is the most common colour of the most common of pidges. Grey pidges with a coloured neckband. They very hardy and strong birds and like all pidges are completely all different in nature. Their grey colouring can range from a very light dust grey to a deep granite.











Foggy

User Image

Foggy pigeons are a dust coloured and lighter coloured Pidge and are not as common as Slate Pidge. Foggy pidge are built like their Coffee cousins, smaller and lighter they usually fly that little bit faster and with a touch more accuracy.












Coffee

User Image

Coffee Pidge are quite a pretty breed and are not as common as Slate patterns, and their tones can be quite varied as can their markings. They usually are not as strong as their slate flock-mates they are usually lighter which makes them that little bit speedier.

The egg stage, it doesn't do much, just exist. They all pretty much look similar. Remember to keep it nice and warm and talk to it and any day soon now.....












User Image Chick
The egg hatched into a hungry messy bundle of downy horror, these things need constant feeding, care, warmth and attention and if they don't get it they'll make themselves heard. Cant fly and cant leave the nest either doesn't speak apart from screeching for food and attention. If the parents manage to cope through this they will be rewarded with...









User ImageFledgling

Starting to gain a little more independence Fledglings although still cannot leave the safety of the roost can now fly, still not steady on their wings these youngsters are still getting to grips with flight. This is a time for learning about the world around them and preparing themselves for adulthood. When they finally gain their wings and fill their little head full of knowledge they are finally recognised as....









User Image Adult

A pidge is now fully grown and a fully functioning arm of the flock, they will have picked up a role in the flock community and will be loyal to the their flock, they can now find a mate and raise a family if they wish. Some pidge may rise above all others and become heads of their flock or may tear off all together and create their own flock.

Inking Is limited only to dyes that are available at the time, more natural colours are available more often as more striking and unusual inks are harder to create and the ingredients more difficult to come by.
Some Flocks have limitations on inking within their flock (refer to the unique laws of your pidges flock) and some jobs forbid inking on its workers.
Note on Gapper's Animal Inks: These inks are not limited by colour laws as they are patterns rather than plain colours
To purchase a bottle of bottle of ink please post in thread that you would like the ink (this prevents any confusion over who got a rare ink first) and then send trade and PM stixon for which Pidge you would like decorating and in what way.
You may purchase up to three inks which are not currently being used on a pidge. (if you want to keep a rare ink for safekeeping)

Pidge make themselves useful the the Flock in different ways, upon reaching Adulthood the Pidge will be assigned a role

Flock Exclusives

Thief: Half Prices Flock only Why find things yourself when you can relieve others of thier hard found goodies far more easily? Thieves are by nature quite secretive and can sometimes be quite unsavoury characters. Its natural that such a job would mostly fall in with poorer and the more hard worn pidge.


Tea Maker: Half Prices Flock only The upper class pidge developed a taste for a hot drink brewed from different herbs and spices. The drink is considered a sign of class and distinction as only the more able pidge can trade any of thier belongings for such rarities. The master tea-makers are very well-off and can keep thier clients interested by thier unending inventiveness and seasonal flavours.

Seamstress Happy Hour's Flock only Female Only Whole groups of chattering gossiping pidge laides fill the rafters of the roost all busy with needles and thread. When they are not hard at work they enjoy gossip during thier breaks and to flirt with the patrols on thier ways in and out from thier duties. These pidge create garments and materials using fabrics and material the scavengers find.

Inventor Happy Hour's Flock only The Industrious beating heart of Happy hour's flock, The inventors put thier minds to the used for the human things they find and try to discover the functions human creations have. They are hard working and smart birds and dont be lured into thinking this grease monkey role is limited to the boys. Happy hour herself is and inventor and would surely give you a good clock over the head with a spanner for even thinking suh thoughts.

Stargazer: Baker's Flock only Important for map making and guiding, stargazers can read the map of the stars. They like to stay up late at night scratching out star charts and some even spend a little spare time using them as a form of prediction.

Oracle: Big Ma's Flock only Strictly speaking most Oracles have quite interesting personalities. They claim that the gods speak to them and impart their all seeing wisdom to others (sometimes regardless of whether they want to hear it or not). Usually though they are aged nutters, but there may be some truth in their batty claims.


Weather-watcher: Big Ma's Flock Only A specialised group of Pidge started to be able to sense very small changes in the surroundings leading to very accurate predictions of weather. Also referred to by some as weather-witches, as many are witches who took a special lean toward reading the winds. Many come to weather-watchers to ask if the wind is in favor of a scavenging trip, or if the winter is looking particularly bad. These Pidge are useful for the Tactics team.

Whisperer: Baker's Flock Only Whisperers are Pidge with the strange ability to talk to other birds. They have studied the language of another species and mastered it fully. Usually Pidge can only talk with one other species but some can talk to as many as three. These pidge are useful at gathering information from further afar. The ability to talk to Gulls is the most common as they are quite willing to chat and bring news from oversea. Whisperers are also prized for their use to widen trading.

Normal Roles

Inker: Creates and uses inks, and decorates the feathers of its flock mates. Their artistic talents are not always limited to other pidge though. These Inker pidge usually all have a good creative streak and are brilliant at making and repairing when ink is in short supply. Some inkers are better than others and some inkers are exclusive to different jobs, for example some pidge only use thier talents on members of the patrol.

Guard: The ears and eyes of the flock, they usually post themselves around the perimeters of the flocks territory and keep watch, its a boring job but someone has to do it. Many pidge use this job as a stepping stone to something bigger and better. Many of the Guards are young pidge.

Patrol: Male only In Big Ma's Flock the patrol is headed by Claude, usually the patrol takes the form of a travelling guard they also exchange news with other 'friendly' flocks.

Scavenger: A hunter and a collector, a scavenger can see uses in things it finds may they be items or food they leave the roost early and return late with unusual objects and foodstuffs. They are useful to the survival of the flock and are in great need in winter many other jobs switch to scavenger during the winter seasons.

Nanny: with so many pidge out and about during the day, someone has to keep an eye on fledglings and chicks, this job is assigned to the nanny. This pidge is usually elderly or lame or in some cases like the guard is a starting job for a young adult pidge (teaches em' some responsibility)

Entertainer: Vital for keeping the spirits of the flock up. Their talents can include many things, singing and dancing, storytelling and poetry. They keep the flock from feeling blue when times are hard. They are essential for morale.

Witch: Female only A very vague job this as flock witches come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing stays constant, this is a job only the females can do. Witches are most useful as the flock doctor, their skills are as spiritual healers, witch doctor types. They also dabble in fortune telling and tricks for entertainment. It is unknown whether any witch possesses any real power, but they have unmatchable skills in their knowledge of objects and items and how to use them to their best.

Doctor: A healer, The Pidge who looks out for the health and well being of other pidge, calls on scavengers to look out for bandages or scraps of material and other items useful for curing ailments. They prevent pidge from going lame from silly things like string caught round their feet, or from sprains and colds.

Head: Exclusive The leader of the flock, the very top of the top. Has great control over the roost and could uproot the entire flock and move it elsewhere if they see fit. Has to get along with their flock or they will soon be ousted. They have a strong tactical head and a great knowledge of every pidge in their flock, they are the mind and soul of their followers.


Tactics: Exclusive A group of pidge make up the flocks tactic team, all information from scavengers, witches, patrol and guard comes here. They use this information to make decisions such as if the situation is so dire they will suggest to the head that the flock should be moved. They try to predict the weather with help from witches, to avoid disaster and try to assign roles to make the flock run smoothly. A flock with a poor tactics team runs poorly.

This Flock is Headed by 'Big Ma'

'Big Ma'

User Image

A bird full of joy, Big Ma has time for everyone and everyone makes time for Big Ma. No one can remember what her previous name was as she has been going by the name for so long. She has a wide old head on her shoulders and loves to be an agony aunt, she'll listen to any pidges problem and hand out advice in exchange for food or trinkets.
Big Ma just fell into place as the head of flock, the ragtag group needed a leader and it was decided on the spot that Ma was prime candidate, she chose this flocks current roost (an old run down cotton mill) and her good decisions mean her place as leader is secure for a good time.
One thing to remember is that she is not smiles all the time and hides a strong and powerful temper, NO-ONE wants to get on the wrong side of Ma

This Flock is Headed by Baker


Baker


User Image

Baker is the leader of this new flock. Baker left Ma's Flock with a small group of his own followers after breaking on multiple occasions the 'partner for life' law. He left Ma's flock very bitter and on bad terms. Over time this small grudge has grown and much of the flock have soaked up a dislike for Ma's. (some don't even know the reason that they dislike this flock they just know that they should) Many of Bakers flock can be described as quite bohemian and creative and enjoy parties and performances. This Flocks roost is under a large bridge further out of town. Baker himself is quite a good leader if you ignore spreading an ungrounded hate for Ma's flock. He tries to know the name of every other flock member and prefers not to treated like a leader or a head of flock and just as a fellow pidge. In spite of this when it comes to punishments for law breaking he is surprisingly harsh.

This Flock is Headed by Happy Hour


Happy Hour


User Image

Happy Hour is a very easy going merry bird, she is one of the most carefree leaders around, she works alongside her flock members as an Inventor and is happy to be leading the most industrious flock going. Her mate, Halifax is usually absent, as he prides himself on bieng one of the most well travelled pidge who ever lived. Happy hour somehow puts up with this as she isnt the type to get to stressed, Halifax's passion is his travel and her's is inventing. Happy Hours flock has merrily set up roost in the attic above a church, where the seamstresses listen with silent interest during sunday service.

This Flock is Headed by Half Price


Half Price


User Image
Proud, nieve and vain, the young leader of the train station flock. who Recently took over from his deceased father. But due to unskilled decisions and careless planning, thier has a risen a distinct divide in the flock. Between almost a kind of poverty and a very well off upper class. The dire state of the flock is hushed up and kept well within the station walls. but the poorer pidge are unhappy with the state of affairs and there are rumours of a 'lord of thieves'. Who plans to rise to power as a head of flock. Poorer pidge are prevented from leaving the flock for fear that other roosts may learn of the state of leadership under the Station laws.

Naming hint: Pidge usually like to name themselves after human words they see. A good way of naming your new pidge would be to walk up a street and spot an interesting word (on anything! street names, advertisements, shop window displays.... you name it). Pidge would find words like 'Parking' and 'Post' and any street names to be fine and respectable names


The world the pidges live in is similar to our own. Although Pidge never come into direct contact with humans, they love to observe them from afar. They cannot understand most human behaviour and cannot understand their speech. They struggle to come to terms with people so they are incredibly curious of human things and try to find uses for abandoned human objects.
The world the pidge inhabit is a kind of alternate version to our own, very similar...but not quite. The location is nowhere specific so it doesn't matter where your pidge wants to be from. It doesn't matter if your pidge wants to name itself on a British shop name, while others name themselves after Finnish drug stores and American magazine titles.
Just have fun! heart
