+Introduction
The world was once different, long before humans came to this place. A race once lived here, dominating over all others until something went terribly wrong. Buried for ages, they are being unearthed... and reborn as skeletons to eternally live their curse.

+Rules

00. All shop-related PMs should be sent to Cerexi, not to Mintaka. Unless otherwise asked, please direct all PMs to the mule. Otherwise you will likely be ignored, as Mintaka's PM box is already overflowing with other things. All trades should go to Mintaka.
01. Adults must be hosted by yourself. Much as I'd love to host indefinitely, I don't wish to overtax what is. Unless you'd like to donate towards my hosting bill... ;p But pelase, host your own when they reach adult, please.
02. No stealing anything! Not only is it rude, inconsiderate, and also against most rules and sense... just don't. I've worked hard on the concept, Chibi worked hard on the lines, etc. - just don't do it. You will be caught, you will be reported.
03. No whining, begging, fighting, etc. Whining and begging for one won't endear you to me or anyone else, and won't get you a Cerexi. Fighting because you didn't get one and soemoen else did will get you reported for harassment if it persists, and likely grey or blacklisted.
04. No drama! I don't want other shop drama coming in this thread, personal dramas between people, etc. I really don't want drama about this shop either. Have issue? Take it to PMs. Don't come crying here you got banned elsewhere; I don't want all this being slogged around my thread. It makes people unhappy and uncomfortable. Have a problem with this shop? Cerexi's PM box is always open. Have at. Alternately, don't openly flame other shops/people in my thread.
05. No altering cards/pets. No adding your own items/changing info, etc. That's my job, and any altered cards will not be legal. Those found altering anotehr's card for the purpose fo stealing the pet will be reported and blacklisted.
06. No selling/giving away of your pets! If you won't be on Gaia ever again and wish to give them to someoen, contact me first. If there's a Cerexi baby up for sale, I'll deal with it. I want to know who has what, when - or there will be indications of theft and dealt with as such accordingly. Respect my wishes, please.
07. These rules are subject to change as needed, including removal, additions, and editing of existing rules. I like to call this right of the shopkeep - I own the place, I run the place, I have the right to change things as needed. Any changed will likely be noted somewhere for everyone, and should be respected.

+FAQ

01. Are these RP manditory?
Nope. Not RP manditory, but I'll love you if you did.

02. Can I have one?!
I don't know, can you? Catcha flatsale, custom, or other means. No freebies by people asking; I decide who and when that happens. Don't ask cause it's like begging.

03. Can they breed?
Yep, and it's been done once already! :3 See Breeding section for more on that!

Got questions? Ask in the thread!

+Story

The Cerexi were one a proud and majestic race, reining over the lands they called home and very much dominant. They were inventive, intelligent, and once boasted the best of everything - including some magical powers. But pride and arrogance are dangerous things, and often cause a downfall.

This was truth, as a once-powerful magician overstepped the bounds of nature, upsetting the balance. Nature raged against this, and the goddess who watched over grew angry with the Cerexi and cursed them to die - and live again in the future long form now, eternally cursed to live upon being unearthed.

A powerful storm came, wiping out every last Cerexi and burying them in the earth and mud deep, so that none may come for ages past. For millenia the bones lay untouched, buried within the earth in eternal rest to pay for their crimes against nature. The only Cerexi to escape the curse was the magician, destroyed forever for his treachery.

But now, a few bones and poked through, and the dead are arising again, perhaps to repay and atone for what happened in the past. The world is not the same, forever changed for their mistakes. What shall come now that the curse comes alive?

~*~


+Traits

Cerexi now re-risen are bones only, skeletons risen from the earth. They start as a single bone, and magically grow from there into adults to relive lives in their cursed forms. They are indestructible - the bones are incredibly tough, and will repiece in the worst of circumstances. It is a part of their curse, to forever exist...

Bone Stage
This is how they are found, a single bone. The spirits are easily defined by Mintaka as male or female, and the females tied with a ribbon. Within a few days to a week or so, the spirits will fully away, and move on to the next stage.

Child Stage
As children, they relearn the world around them. Many no longer remember what happened - it is probably for the better they don't. They like to play and romp, and otherwise have fun despite how they are now. They speak telepathically.

Adult Stage
As adults they have come into their own again, fully capable of all things, including telepathic speech fluently. They are actually somewhat strong still, and at this point able to mate and create future generations, etc.

**more information later**

Length guide:
Bone - 6" to 1 foot.
Child: 2-3 feet in length
Adult: 4.5-6' in length

Next Flatsale: ????
Type: ???

+Type 1 :: Speed Claim
This type of sale waits for Mintaka to say GO! Once she does, you post which # you want, and the first ones to claim that specific number get that one.

*Rules:
01. No post editing.
02. One claim per post.
03. May only purchase 1 per flat - either yourself, OR a friend.
04. Send trade after confirmed winner.

+Type 2 :: Speed Request
Different from a Speed Claim, the Speed Request is simply expressing interest as fast as you can after Mintaka says GO! As soon as enough people have said "I want a Cerexi", Mintaka will list them in order of first to last. First person picks what they want, then second and so on. You may pass if there are none you like.

*Rules:
01. No post editing.
02. You must post the following: "I want a Cerexi" Not the number, etc.
03. One claim per post. You may post twice if the sale permits to claim one for a friend, but one per person per flat.
04. Please send trade after picking which you want.
05. No choosing out of order; wait for Mintaka to post the list order, and wait for each person before you to pick.
06. If you DO take too long without ANY post, you may be bumped to the bottom of the list.

+Type 3: Raffle Style
In this type of sale, Mintaka will say GO! Then, you request a ticket. After a certain amount fo time, she will close the sale, and randomly draw numbers. Those people win, in order, a Cerexi. First draw get first choice, etc. It's like the above, except random.

01. One ticket per person.

+Rules

01. No Godmodding. No controlling others characters, killing them, etc. If they don't get a chance to react, it's godmode and will be retconned like it never happened. Persistant godmodes will result in grey or even black listing. It's not fair, and makes things unfun for others.
02. PG-13. Keep it reasonable, k? No sex, no excessively detailed violence, etc. Respect Gaia's rules. Also, try not to swear every other word. While the occasional word isn't the end of the world, it would be nice to keep it somewhat not so frequent in repsect to other smore then myself.
03. IC/OOC Clause. What's IC is IC - it doesn't mean someone hates or loves you OOCly. Keep them seperate. I hate when OOC stuff becomes IC, and IC is OOCly taken.

Use your common sense and have fun. Remember the the Cerexi don't have excessive powers - in fact they have no inherent magic other then the curse's protection now aside a very few specified individuals.

+Where

RP has been moved to the guild, whcih can be found here:

I've been coloring digitally since 2001, but using Painter 7 since about 02/03. I use an Intuos2 9x12 Serial tablet to do most of my work. I'm addicted to coloring. xd

And despite being so old for Gaia, I don't believe it makes me any better then others. And no, I'm not rich -- I spend most of my stuff on other things. And what I do own, and wear, I don't consider makes me actually rich. It's what I use, not what I would consider towards money I would spend. Items do not equal wealth.
