Not so very long ago, a scientist of the Order had come across a shard of glass. Nothing appeared to be unusual of this glass except for the fact it had what appeared to be blood splattered inside of it. The Scientist took this odd glass shard into one of the Order's laboratories deciding it would be best to see what type of DNA was contained within it.

However, before he had even begun testing the very tired scientist [ & also very lazy ] had fallen asleep at his desk. When he awoke the next day, the [ somewhat blind ] Scientist left for his dorm failing to notice the shard of glass had become a large orb.

Several weeks had passed until finally the [ very stupid ] scientist returned to his laboratory only to find a large creatureeating all the plantlife that hung around the laboratory.

The Scientist was in complete and utter shock for not only had he found something in his lab he didn't place there but he had never seen the creature before in his life. It was an equestrian like creature, however it had leathery skin, lacked a mane and bore two tails; one much like a horse' the other not too far off from a dragon.

Many years later the area around the Order's Head Quarters was preserved for the creatures who were bred there. The Equos, as they were come to be called for their horse-like appearance, were sold to whomever so desired them [and were willing to pay the price] howveer at the cost that the specimen remain in the Order's territory where they could roam naturally. However, if an owner so desired they could always visit the Order where their specimen will be brought to them for some bonding time.

We at the Order hope you too may find a specimen of your own.

If at any time you feel lost simply post in the thread or pm [ the Order ] and someone will be sure to help you.

There are certain types of Roleplaying; Serious & Comedic

Serious This rp is conducted in 3rd person, paragraph form. It can be, but is not limited to, specimens interacting, fighting, recieving a specimen, etc. Use " " for speach, and grammer as best to your ability. Write out words completely, and do not go back and edit posts, it's ok if you make mistakes, no one is perfect. If a serious rp is going, please use something along the lines of [ ] outside of rp so you don't disrupt others.

Comedic There are really no rules for Comedic rp, this is done in a play-like format. You can use : instead of " " and anything goes. You can bounce off the walls, sweatdrop, fall over, your petcan even talk to you, others, hell, we don't care just have fun~!

Not quite sure how to rp? Look here for examples, you don't even need to own a pet to rp.

Neo rping without a specimen...Serious RP
[ Neo sat down in the Main building's lobby. It was a comfortable seat, his feet resting on the shiny tiled floor, he tilted his head back and looked upward at the glass ceiling. He imagined recieving his very own glass shard, wondering what type of creature he may recieve. He looked over to the side and saw [so & so] holding an orb. It appeared heavy, but beautiful none the less with a deep blue center. ]Etc...

Neo rping with a specimen [in it's orb form]...Serious RP
[ Neo lifted the heavy orb. It was time to take it outside again, figureing the sunlight would help the spirit release from the glass. It was quite some work getting it outside and trying to lay it down without thing rolling away. He couldn't wat to see what type of specimen he was recieving. ] Etc...

Neo rping with a specimen...Comedic RP
[ Neo: OMG Bishies *_*
Morian: ...
Neo: We all know you like bishies too xp
Morian: ...omg ]
Etc...

Neo's specimen rping [in the wild]...Serious RP
[ Morian lowered his head, hiding in the deep of the bush, he wished not to be seen by the other Equos lest one approach him. The thought of conversing with one of the others led him to pure disgust. ] etc.

Please note if you are rp yourself & you're like Neo, and your avatar is male, but in truth you are female, you still rp as a male. Also bear in mind, we [owners] are not aloud to go into the grounds of the specimen. The only time an owner may interact with their specimen is when they are both in the Order's HQ. Other then that you are rping your specimen amongst other specimen in the "wild" xO This last paragraph only applies to people rping seriously. Hope that wasn't too confusing?

[ Stages ]
All specimen of the order go through most of the following stages. Your activity with/out your specimen determines their growthrate.


[ Infant ]
Finally, your specimen has attained a physical body. It can now give you dumb looks, evil glares, and bear it's teeth to ye D: Often at this stage your specimen is curious about what's going on around it but they don't really do nething more then sit down & stare. It's patterns & colors are now clear & deffinite; they will change little over the rest of it's growth.
Duration
: 2 - 4 days.


[ Adolescent ]
Your basic teenager put into a specimen like form D: It bad mouths, it get's drunk, it goes wild...erm...yeah. Adolescents still hold their infantile curiosity only now their actually doing something about it xO Oh nuuuu one just flipped over the table. Damn teenagers. >.> *contradicts herself*
Duration: 2 - 4 days.


[ Adult ]
No one thought this day would ever come OH THANK GOD Congratulations~! Your specimen has now fully grown. Hopefully it has gained a bit of matureity as well. It has stopped relying on others so much now and is ready to find a mate and make little glass shard of it's own. [& the proccess begins again! *maniacal cackle*] Yes it sounds painful but uhh...they start off as a soul before they turn into a shard...maybe?
Duration: Forever.



[ Further Stages ]
For those of you rich RP Intense owners who love your specimen so much you practically breathe the Order; your adult specimen may advance up to two more stages. You lucky Devil x3


[ Elder ]
The advisor of it's group; nearly none doubt the word of an Elder weather it be good or bad. They have a strong influence and are often sought out for their advice. They are experienced in both physical aspirations as well as in their wisdom. If your specimen's has reached it's Elder stage you must be putting in five days of RP a week D: WTH is wrong with you? Go take a nap. Now.


[ Legend ]
OMG you reached the ultimate stage. Your must've been RPing in your sleep. ******** is wrong with you? Are you addicted? That or you must have paid a large sum x3 Eitherway; your specimen was so renound as an elder it has become...a Legend. Legends often leave their group at this stage and start one of their own through careful selections. Very few can stand up to legends as their physical and spiritual strength is matched only by other Legends.



[ Types ]
The different types of specimen available at the Order. Your specimen's type will only be revealed when it reaches it's infant stage so have fun guessing >D These are the only types available at this time.


[ Equos ]
Equestrian like creatures with leathery skin, they lack manes & bare two tails; one similar to that of a horse, the other much like a dragon.


[ Maceus ]
Equos that lack tails D:


[ Reeshio ]
Equos that have small feathered wings.


[ Kuren ]
Equos with a single horn of their forehead.


[ Farasha ]
Equos with small wings like an insect or butterfly.


[ Shar ]
Equos with manes or hair on their head.


[ Hybrid ]
Any specimen that has more then one type. [ ie: horn + wings ]

    Now so that you & I don't repulse ourselves with the idea of offspring no different then broken glass, allow me to explain. Eventually; or at least at some point in their life, a specimen will want to have offspring. This is done by the bonding of two souls [ or in the case of single specimen; a soul & an artificial soul] in order to produce others of their kind. The offspring will take on a spirit like form; not too different then it's third stage. After some time it'll take on a more physical form and become an infant.

    Only two infants are produced from a breeding, triplets are rare, and quadruplets even more precious. If two specimen crossbreed the offspring will inherit it's type from either parent or in rare cases be a hybrid; a specimen with more then one type.

    The offspring can be kept by a parent or given away to mutual friends. Breeding costs a total of 5k [ 2.5k from each parent or 5k to the one who wants the babes ] Before you begin breeding please be sure to stop by the Relic Shop to see if you would like to purchase something that will effect the offspring. You may not & cannot decide to use a relic after the breeding has commenced so again I tell you if you will check before it starts.
