Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roleplay is a MUST. That's kind of the whole point of the shop, isn't it? If you don't want to roleplay, then there's no point in getting a character. But it's not that demanding, either. One major storyline a month, locate your chracter at least once a week.

Please don't complain about the price.. The artist works hard to get all these characters drawn and colored. Kaliskanny works hard on getting things organized, chracters done, flatsales, auctions, etc, up and going, as well as prodding Jynk for tags.

If you start a fight, you will be warned. If you continue, you will be blacklisted. I've seen this all too often; someone comes in wanting a character, but they've got a horribly bad attitude. Sometimes they complain, other times they just come off as completely rude. Then other people (often regulars to the shop) retaliate with hostility. I've often been one of the shopgoers that gets offended by the newcomer's attitude; I know what it feels like. I try my best to be nice and polite, but for everyone, there's a breaking point; please don't try to reach it.

Do not steal the art! If we find out about it, we'll eat you with some fava beans and a nice chianti. domokun

Do not PM any staff unless directed to, or asked to.

If there are no chracters available, do not ask. Don't whine or beg either. You can try to bribe Kaliskanny, but it might not work either. The only exception to this rule is if it's a custom. Then please read over the character creation stuff below, and pm Kaliskanny with your order. Note, a custom is 100k autobuy.

Try to use proper English and grammar. We can understand typos...I'm not the world's best at typing. And I have a sticky spacebar. But constant bad spelling and grammar get sold real quick. Note, if it's in character, alright then...but keep it in character.

NO L33T SPEAK! Damnit, it's annoying. Over use of it will find you on the black list. It's not that hard to use an 'E' rather than a '3', is it?

There is no refund! Sorry, there is no refund. When a person gets a character, I'm hoping they are going to rp the character. I can understand if real life gets in the way. But if you say you give the character up, it's gone. If you took time to rp it a personality, we will hold a contest and and the winner of the contest will pay 5k, which will go to the former owner. Best you come to a refund. Otherwise, it goes back to the sale block or raffle stand.

I'll add more as needed.





Flatsales will be RP oriented. Meaning that I will write a prompt and you will respond to it, and I will judge the winners. Flatsold characters are premade characters, usually fairly important to the plot.

Flatsale characters are 10k. Kaliskanny and the artists think this is an agreeable price considering the amount of work that goes into the images and tags and such.

Don't complain about the flatsale results. We can't please everyone, though we certainly try.

You have 24 hours to send the trade. If the trade is not received on time, we will alert the next person and they will get the character (provided they can send the trade on time as well. xD) We totally understand if the bank is not working; if this is the case then we'll extend the time limit.






In order to bid, we may have you answer a prompt. Most times auctions are for custom chracters, or semi-custom. Some times these are hard, sometimes easy. They can also be for pre-generated restricted characters.

Auctions will last about a week. This is to give people time to create a good character, time for me to help people with character creation if need be, and time for people to actually bid. This time limit will be extended if Gaia goes down, glitches happen, or we need more time period.

Starting bid will be 15k. I think this is a fair start point. Auctions are for custom, or semi-custom, after all. This means you could even be getting a restricted chracter type.





The events here can be almost anything we think of. Raffles for pre-gen restricted character types. Raffles for example characters fro the events. Raffles for 'Free Character, non-restricted type' vouchers. Contests for semi-customs. Contests for customs. RP oriented things. You never know. Sometimes we don't. xp



How much RP is involved? Alright, I know some of you think these are hard to maintain...but they're not. All that you are required to do is get involved in one major storyline a month. This can be soemthing like a mission from the Prince (or whoever is in charge of your species), tracking down a kidnapper, or something that would invlove a group of you. Granted your chracter has their own agendas, and you gain EXP from them...but part of the game is group efforts. Remember: There's no I in team. But there is a me if you rearrange the letters. The other thing you're required to do, as far as RP, is locate your character in the RP at least once a week. This means do some sort of action to let us know where the character is in the city. And example: Brendanus stood in his office, looking over the city. It looked like it would be a quiet night, he hoped he was right. That's it. That's all that's required.

Wow these are cool! Can I have a ... <insert character here>?

Woah, wait. First of all, is there a flatsale going on? No? How about an auction or event? None of those, either? You'll have to wait then. Plus... some of these types of characters are restricted, so even if you win a custom, you might not be able to get exactly what you want.

Do you do customs?

Customs will either be auctioned off, or sold in "create-your-own-character" events. Otherwise, you can autobuy them for 100k, or offer a pet trade. There are also semi-customs where you do half the work, and we do the other half. Depending on what needs to be done.

Do I need to direct-link?

You can, but it'd be nice for you to save on your own server.

Are journals involved?

Yes they are, although they're not the type of journals you'd expect. Roleplaying entries and journal entries are not expected. The only purpose journals fulfill is to keep track of your character's progress. Their full character sheet will be recorded there, and as you earn experience points for your character, those points will go towards your character's prowess in skills and abilities. Also, your inventory will be kept here. You can even get sketches of your character for the journal as well.

How many characters can we own?

I'll allow up to three, but if it becomes apparent that you can't keep up with three, then you'll have to pick one to give up to someone else.

What does the [RESTRICTED] by some of the character types mean?

Sometimes the word [RESTRICTED] appears next to a character trait, race, type, etc., this means that most people will not be able to use this trait for their character. The only way you will be able to get these types of characters is if you win a custom, and even then I will require a good explanation of why you think you should be able to play that character.

Who are the staff?

We run this asylum. A full list of who does what can be found in the first post.

We want to clone your shop. Is that cool?

No, not really. We worked very hard getting the info, the artist, and everything set up. It took a long time. We know that White wolf is out there, and anyone can use it, but that's still not a reason. We know there are other shops out there based on Changeling. And that's cool. But we tried to encompass the whole World of Darkness, which is not easy.

If Daimyn created the shop, why does Kaliskanny own it?

Good question.

What are these vouchers we're hearing about?

These are like special tickets, or I.O.U's that are either handed out, or won. Don't ask for one, you won't get nothing but a boot to the head. They are extreamly rare.

But so-and-so got a free pet!!

They're special and we like them. Besides, it's our shop.

How often are chracters available? When ever we get around to it. Sometimes real life steps in and we're not able to. And then sometimes it depends on what work load comes first. Customs and semi-customs come first, in that order, then the other work loads...flatsales, raffles, auctions.

twisted Is Kaliskanny really a slave driver? twisted Yes, she makes us cry. crying

What is EXP mean? EXP is experience points. You earn them by role-playing. Then you use them to buy stats for your chracter, or inventory from the Pawn Shoppe.

If I give up my chracter, can I choose how it gets a new owner or can i have a refund? Nope. If you feel you needto give up your chracter, I will find it a new player in some manner. You get no refund, sorry. If you didn't rp the chracter to give an example of the personality, I will flatsale or raffle it. If it had some sort of personality people can see, an rp contest might be held, and the winner pays 1/2 the flatsale price to go back to the former owner.

Creatures of the night
Feasting on your mortal prey
Dancethe shadows with your kind
Hide by day from the glaring light
-A.

Vampire. A curse of unlife and forever nights. The immortal bloodsuckers of the horror genre. To feed on those you once were. Some find the transition easy to accept, some don't. Whatever the case, they all have one thing in common - the hunger.

Vampire society is a whirl of variety. The different clans have thier own ways of doing things, as do the different sects. The Camarilla try to blend in, go unnoticed in mortal society. The Sabbat strive to tear down the Masquerade, showing the mortals who their masters are and that monsters do exist. Then, there are the Independants, who can be persuaded to either side...when not working for their own profit.

Alright, I'm not totally finished with this concept, but here goes.

Characters are only allowed three weapons in their inventory. They must have the stats to be able to use the items, as well as a good background reason. (You can't have a four in firearms and not explain how you know about guns.)

You can have as many other items as you like. Laptops, cameras, ect.

There will be an Inventory shop in the guild, ran by an NPC. More on that later.

You will use exp (experience points) to buy weapons and other inventory objects. They will be text only...because I don't know anyone who can draw weapons or other items...and it's just easier anyway.

If you reach your limit, and want another weapon...you have to trade it in. If the katana you got was 20 EXP, you can tradeit in for 10 EXP credit towards your next weapon. Make sense? Good. I'll post a thread in the guild later and people can suggest weapons. Mind you, I do have a book with a huge list of weapons, and their stats.

I'll write more on this post later.
