Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was walking out behind the club one night when I felt a sudden gush and wet chill down my spine. I gazed up as I was hit full-force by a flash of light. When I got back on my feet, everything was pitch black. Finally, I looked down and before me was an adorable fuzzy bundle of glowing fluff. I took her in and fed her each day, spoke to her and coddled her. Imagine my surprise when I woke up one day with a baby panther instead of a ball of fuzz! I was a happy girl. After a bit more teaching and gentle loving care, my little panther grew once more and lo and behold, she had mastered speech. She looked just like a little princess, so I named her Damita. She told me that she was a Tutelary Goddess. Apparently all the Deities had fallen back to their spirit forms and needed kind benefactors who would protect them until they once again grew to power. In return for this kindness, the benefactor would have the eternal devotion and guardianship of the Tutelary God or Goddess they had raised. Damita asked me if I could help the other deities find benefactors and I promised her we would do just that. Now we are searching far and wide for people with good hearts willing to take in and raise a Tutelary God or Goddess in return for a lifetime of love and devotion.

"Joining in a chain.
Circles spinning round and round,
Powers taken, powers gained.
Friendships lost, friendships found.

The deities were lost to light.
The darkness of the soul,
Consumed them all, but hope is found,
Reborn with but one goal.

Find the key that unlocks no door,
The sunbeam in the night.
Once that is found, the clues will lead
To what is free and right."

Flatesale will be the easiest way to become a benefactor of a Tutelary God the flatesale price is 3k. Each Tutelary God is somewhat customizable depending on how you RP it. For Example if your Tutelary God is constantly gazing at gemstones it might surprise you and end up wearing them when it regains power. Not to mention the artists work VERY hard on each and every piece of art! Flatesales will have the common animal Tutelary Gods. Flatesales will never be a "first # of people after post gets them" it will always have some kind of writing contest, because the Tutelary Gods can only gain power with your help. (Through RP)

I'm also interested in some other pets, but unsure if they trade feel free to ask for a pet trade though, I might be after one.

-Bun'bii
-Feli (Wild)
-FTC (Xuxa!)

These pets are RP MANDATORY, if you do not RP your Tutelary Deity they will NOT grow. Furthermore if they are neglected and left as fuzz-balls without a special charm to aid them they will leave you.

The ONLY exception for this RP mandatory rule is on Customs & Trades.
If you manage to get us to do a custom or trade it's yours to do with as you please. It will grow at a set rate, you may still purchase any of the usual items & RP is optional.

Growth posts are only the RP posts on THIS thread. You may RP your Tutelary Deity wherever you wish, but only RP posts here will count towards the growth process.

We will judge when growth takes place and usualy it will be when you are active in the RP, have grasped some storyline, & your tute is around the others so that the power can roll into it.
The amount of work you put into your RP will determine a lot!
Growth posts must should show how you treated your Tutelary Deity, what it experienced, it's likes and dislikes, etc. You are not required to keep any kind of journal or diary, all you have to do is RP. I am always lurking about so even if it looks kinda dead post anyways and someone will get to you at some point. A warning everything your Tutelary Deity experiences can be used to determine it's looks and personality as well as abilities for example...
If your Tutelary Deity is dropped as a fuzz-ball he/she may end up with a crooked tail or minor injury as he/she grows. If your Tutelary Deity rips open a feather pillow and has a memorable experience it may grow up to be adorned with feathers.
These are just examples of a few creative things that can happen to your Tutelary Deity so have fun, be creative!

The Tute Center provides shelter to all the Deities and their Benefactors. Inside is Loyal's Lab, the Nursery, A hangout spot for the Deities and their Benefactors, a spare bedroom, some storage area, and plenty of hidden surprises. There is food and informations for/on the Tutes. Items can also be purchased inside the center. Outside of the center is a large open field where all the tutes can roam, there is also a cool clean stream fully stocked with fish, and a powerfull waterfall. Past the stream is the forest and a mystical well that appeared one day. Behind the lush soft foilage of the forest the trees are scraggly and thick clawing at the earth the roots create dens and holes. The darker forest is spread back increasing the tutes territory somewhat. The fish to one side of the stream die out as the water becomes darker near the poisoned trees. The territory is divided this area is for the troublemakers...who won't let go of their troublemaking ways. The entire tute area has safety precautions in place and is surrounded by a mystical power border beyond the border Tutes cannot feel each others power or share energy.
This is just a rough map of the area don't mock it >.< Please lol
