User Image GENERAL RULES:
                  iStoleYurVamps has final say. ►►
                  We try to be fair to everyone, but if it comes down to it, iStoleYurVamps has the final word.

                  Please read the ENTIRE first and second pages before asking questions about the shop. ►►
                  We know you have that burning desire to have that question answered, but make sure it isn't already answered by perusing the two pages. That's what they're there for!

                  PM questions to the mule, not to staff. ►►
                  Please leave the staff alone. We created the mule to be peppered with requests/complaints/questions, not our main accounts.

                  Follow Thomas Payne. ►►
                  Use common sense. Do you really want to drama llama or be a jerkface? No. Treat others as you want to be treated.

                  Follow the Gaia TOS. ►►
                  ...It's hard, but we've all got to do it.

                  Do NOT alter/steal/abuse the art in any way! ►►
                  Minor edits for signatures, reference sheets, etc, are alright. If you wish to edit in any other way, you MUST PM the mule for permission.

                  We do not post certs/results in-thread, nor do we PM you. ►►
                  All growths, certings, and winner information is posted in the guild. You are expected to pick them up yourself. If you do not claim a Levitrias within the allotted time period, you will forfeit it. Occasionally, we might post growths in-thread to stir up conversation, but all others will be posted in the guild subforums.



IN-THREAD RULES:
                  Speak and RP in a literate manner. ►►
                  Please, NO CHATSPEAK. Employ the power of your spell-checker. There is absolutely NO CHATSPEAK while roleplaying.

                  Use fonts colours/sizes/layouts people can actually read. ►►
                  No size 24 bright yellow or size 5 baby blue fonts. If you're going to post, make sure people can actually read it. Page-stretching post layouts are also a no-no. If you have a post style? 90% of the time just disable it please and thank you.

                  Please do not feed the drama llama, your inner whiner, or little green monsters. ►►
                  Keep the drama out of the thread, please. We understand life can be hard. But please, we're a B/C, not a support group. If all you want is someone to blubber over you... you're in the wrong place.

                  Do not advertise in-thread without permission. ►►
                  Signatures are fine, but don't link in your posts. Plus, it's against the actual rules of the B/C.


                  Shop rules are subject to change without any notice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q ►► Are the levitria roleplay-required?
A ► No, they are not. However, you are highly encouraged to roleplay. Roleplaying brings such benefits as breeding perks, possible lineart edits as your levitrias grows, entry into roleplaying events, and much more!

Q ►► Can I have one for free?
A ► Not usually, no. Sometimes we have free levitria events, but those are rare and usually roleplay-oriented.

The species that most commonly nests in the regions around
Taniwhapuia are known as Levitrias pacifica to scientists, named after the infamous sea
monsters "Leviathans" and the ocean in which they reside, the Pacific Ocean.

Levitria are a cold-blooded, reptilian species who generally lead nomadic lives, forming small
packs called "gatherings" in order to hunt and care for young. They hatch from eggs about the
size of a basketball, and stay around their mother until around four weeks of age. When fully
grown, can easily reach the length of a blue whale, at around 25 metres, making the Levitrias
pacifica
the largest species of sea serpent in the world.

Long and heavily scaled, levitria usually range in the dull green-blues to murky purples, although
there are many grey, brown, and and blue varieties. More unusually are their luminescent
tentacle-like protrusions known as "fronds". Each frond is tipped with a circular patch of colour,
unique to the levitrias. Scientists have reported that in some levitria, the circular patches glow,
much like the bioluminescence of several species of fish and insects.

Growth stages.

Levitria society is governed through a loose form of matriarchy. The gatherings are led by the
strongest female, although patriarchs have been observed in rare cases. Not all levitria live in
gatherings, however. Occasionally, outcast or lone levitria may wander the seas with only
their young or yearly mate. Most levitria are not particularly loyal to their gatherings; instead,
they usually stay with one gathering until it runs out of beneficiaries, and then joins another
gathering. Most gatherings are small and range around three to ten levitria, although they are
known to form gathering "alliances," in which multiple gatherings group to form a single large
gathering, oftentimes ranging up to fifty levitria in one alliance.

Naming Rules:

FULL NAMING RULES

Levitria are not named by the parents, but through a peculiar system of self-observation and
"enlightenment" of their names. They are nameless as eggs, and remain nameless as hatchlings
until they "discover" their name. During an approximately week-long period that starts when
they hatch, the hatchling "discovers" its name through exploring its natural environment and
community. Levitria names usually come in the form of a description of the hatchling, using a
combination of a verb and its subject that describes the actions of the hatchling during its
naming period. Although most Levitria use this action-description form, some Levitria find their
names to come from natural origins.

Acceptable Names:
Chatters-Like-Seals
Swims-in-Shallow-Waters
Listens-to-Rainfall-on-Waves
Dances-with-Seaweed
Seashells-on-Sand
Moonlight-Through-Fins
Fish-Scales

FLATSALES:
01 ►► Growing Egg: 15k || Growing Hatchling: 12k || Adult: 8k
02 ► There are three types of flatsales: growing eggs, growing hatchlings, and adults. Levitria found in flatsales are usually simply-coloured and without edits or unusual traits. Flatsales can range from speed flatsales to flaffles to anything else we happen to think of. For more information and individual, please refer to the flatsale rules posted at each event.

RAFFLES:
01 ►► Ranges from free raffles to 100g per ticket.
02 ► Raffles are usually for rarer levitria than those found in flatsales. We usually have a mix of free raffles and paid raffles, where paid raffles are usually for edited or unusual levitria. For specific raffle rules, please read the raffle rules posted at every event.

AUCTIONS:
01 ►► SB: 5k || MI: 1k || AB: Depends on the auction. || Items are accepted at 90% mid-TekTek. || 15 minute anti-snipe guard.
02 ► Auctions are usually for rare, edited levitria never found in raffles or flatsales. While some do not have to be roleplayed, some auctions are combined with RP requirements. In these cases, bidders must submit a roleplay sample along with their bid. For more information, refer to the auction rules posted at every event.

RP PROMPTS:
01 ►► Ranges from free to 30k.
02 ► One of Levitrias' most popular methods to obtain a levitrias. Most of the levitria offered through these prompts have some form of RP requirement. These levitria are usually edited, an unusual colour, and will not be found in raffles or flatsales. Some come with special restrictions or benefits. Prompted sales can range from free to a hefty price tag for special levitria. Occasionally, there are "custom" prompt sales, in which the colourist will colour a levitrias based on the winning RP prompt reply.
