Nanook is working on the front page!
HAPPY NEW YEAR BABES!
New Breeders!!
Yuna-chan, and White Arsenic, will now become our final Breeding staff members, and will be taking over some normal breedings, and Yakobi and Swampeestar will be our flatsale colorists - meaning we'll have more events to be had. YAY!
December 24th, 2006:
In the Spirit of Xmas, Taejira - newest addition to our little family - opened two slots. But they're gone now lol. o_oa.
<-- watch her, she's getting an overhaul. -N
December 20, 2006:
To keep my sanity, I, Nerpin, will be reworking the front page so that it's much more nicer and cleaner when people walk in. I have 7 hours till I go home, so lets see what we can achieve. - N
[ Kitsusagi ]
1. The Kitsusagi HQ is a neutral zone. Senseless violence between kitsu will not be tolerated. That means no killing, no maiming.. etc. Angel is the guardian of the HQ, and she does have special powers to 'deal' with troublemakers. Punishment can range up to exile [which means no breeding. ever] or even death. (Key word: senseless. If both kitsu owners agree to the violence/bloodshed, then I don't care. It's allowed. Random attacks on other kitsu? Not allowed. )
2. Do not PM us about prices/availability! Please, wait until the next flatsale or event, or even post in question. Usually it will be posted in News or event in the topic.
3. Don't steal the art! Do I really have to explain why...?
4. Do not ask for one if you can't pay for it. Self explanatory
5. Do NOT edit your posts in flat sales! We are watching you, and you will be disqualified from the sale and immediately greylisted if you alter your post!!
6. Flat sales do not start until I say so in BIG RED LETTERS. Posts before I make the announcement, even if it's after the time stated, will be ignored. Again NO EDITING!
7. Do not beg for pets, please. What you see is what you get, if they're not available you'll just have to wait like everyone else.
8. Please, keep the quotebox monsters to a minimum! Quotes inside quotes inside quotes! Try to keep them under 5 quotes.
9. Kitsusagi are thread-presence mandatory.
10. Once your kitsu is 'mated' it is mated for life. Kitsu can breed without being mated, but once they do make that commitment, it can't be broken without a very good reason.. Not without one of them dying heartbreak D: ] (Mated does not = breeding couple. Mated is more or less life-mates, those kitsu who are very much in love and promise to stick together. Your kitsu can be part of a couple and break up later, if the RP works for it. But if your kitsu is life mated, then only infedelity or death of mate can break it up. )
11. If you deemed yourself worthy of being banned; you may, under no circumstances, get a refund. If you have any ungrown Kitsu, you MAY be entitled to a PARTIAL refund. This may be discussed with whomever you paid to do the work.
1. Well.. then are you hiring for staff members, then?
Unless the front page or the news post have any threads or announcements saying we are, regretfully - no, unless we do come ask or grovel to you, we're full up, thanks :>.
2. Well I tried, okay then, how long will it take them to grow?
Hatching will take anywhere from 5-10 days (your egg will begin to crack and you must return to the thread and post before it will hatch!), to grow from kit to adolescent it will take usually a week or two, from adolescent to adult will depend on how active you are in the thread and how well you treat your kitsusagi. If you mistreat it/leave it alone it can take a month or more to fully grow to adult and usually it will be much weaker then if you take care of it and play with it often enough to make sure it's being raise properly.. If it's taken care of it will usually grow up in 2 to 3 weeks..
3. Can two kitsus of the same gender have a Relationship?
Homosexual relationships are accepted in the realm's area, they will and can be considered in a relationship, but regretfully breedings between two kitsusagi of same gender is not considered an option at this time.
4. How long does it take to get them to adulthood?
If you haven't read question two, I advise that you do so now - but do keep in mind once again that being active and friendly can sometimes effect the aging process of your kitsusagi whelp. Most whelps grow with their siblings if born in a clutch.
5. How big will all the pictures be?
Because the Realm has a short assortment of tags, most tags will comply to the 500 x 500 image limit that has been set forth by the gaian administrators. The average mean of the certs are withing 450~480 pixels on the height and width, so they shouldn't be -too- bad.
6. Can you recommend a website where I could keep the kitsusagi tag..?
Photobucket is an excellent site for keeping your gaian pets, as well as your future kitsusagi, so that you may show them off.
7. Can I direct-link?
Althought it's -usually- best to save the images for yourself, (incase of lets say, server death), Mau had allowed the ability to direct connect any Realm Kitsusagi from her server, as the bandwidth she acquired with it is very flexible.
8. So now that we've got that all aside, what can I expect to cough up for one of these lovelies?
Depending on when and where you see the kitsusagi up for sale, they could be any price, but we do have specific set prices for certain events:
- All flatsale kitsusagi are 4K an egg. This is only extended to normal or racial kitsusagis (Snow, Dragon and Mer)
Please note that Angelic/Nightmare flatsales are few and VERY far between if ANY, and will run at a higher price. The chances of one are very very slim, and is much more easier to just way for a breeding or auction.
Custom prices have been marked up in thread for the different kinds of Kitsusagi customs, but PLEASE note that the chances of getting a custom for specific races may not be as available as others, if any at all.
9. So lets say I wish to get a small country of Kitsusagi - is that possible, or is there a limit to how many I can have..?
Although there is an abundancy of kitsusagi prancing around both the Realm and Mountain, there is and will be a set number that can be extended with attendance, good spirits and maybe even some RP, if you do it right ;>.
- Normal Kitsusagi are more accessable, so at this time, it's an open bar for any normal kitsusagi. You could have thirty.. well.. Maybe. But that's excessive.
Although the minor races are a bit more few and far between, at this time, there is also no limit to how many you own, just don't grab em all, soldier.
Angelic and Nightmare Kitsusagi are a bit more rare, so please, we would like to keep 3~4 of each available to be kept by any single person. If you show your support and maybe even RP a little, you'll be rewarded with the ability of keeping more.
Seraphim, Tainted, Fae and Gods are the rarest of this group, and will not be given away lightly, if at all. If you get even one, please consider yourself a blessed soul, and cherish it greatly.
10. Oh oh! I have a question that's not on this page!
Please then, PM this account, [ Kitsusagi ] and anyone with access to the mule will attempt to get you an answer asap. PLEASE do not pm Nerpin or Mau, as we also have lives and are very busy attending to them, danke schon~.
11. Why are you talking to yourself.
I dunno 83.
You tell me.
Breeding Kitsusagi is a painstakingly difficult task that is handed down every generation, something that takes years to study under (As odd as that sounds!), at this time, we're short on the supply of breeders, but diligently looking for replacements to fill the gaps and rooms in our breeding center.
When breeding Kitsusagis, there are different ethical and physical 'rules' that come into play with the different breeds of the Realm of Kitsusagi roster
- Normal Kitsusagi ( + Cosplay ), Fa'e Kitsusagi and the Sub Races all have 2 expendable breedings to be used from the time that they're adults, after those two, the only way they can breed once again is by aid of mythical intervention, or reaching anthrohood. All breeds can parent anywhere between 2 to 4 eggs in one breeding, with an possible maximum of 8 to 12 whelps.
Only Normal Kitsusagi ( + Cosplay ) Fa'e and the Sub Races can interbreed - if they do, there is a chance that some of the kits will come out normal, whereas some will take the submissive species.
Angelic and Nightmare, Seraphim and Tainted only have 1 expendable breeding to them, and will always breed out 2 kits for the breeding - and 2 more if they reach the extra slot.
The Higher Races can only breed with their own race, so Angelic - Angelic, or Seraphim - Seraphim. There will be NO chance of interracial breeding in these.
We ask that you not breed siblings or relatives in any way. Kitsusagi are very sensitive genetically and inbreeding w/ result in mild or severe birth defects (blindness, paralysis, etc.)
Sub Race Breedings will cost 3K an egg, no matter if you give them away or not.
Higher Race Breedings will cost 20K for the whole shebang. (So choose wisely, my grasshoppas.)
At this time, your breeding staff is as such (click their name for their breeding center);
The staff list
[ Kitsusagi ]
-Note: Sample image above shows Kitsusagis at 2/3 their size-
Your everyday kitsusagi. Although they aren't as 'special' or rare as the other species that arrived to the realm - they are still cherished by many as the original species to the Realm and Mountain to find their way and create a pact with those of other species.
Kitsusagi are tall and brave creatures, that are in canine in nature with noticibly long ears and thick, work and travel ready paws and legs. With average lengthed fur, they can take temperatures even when they dip under the freezing level - but not so much. With showing, expressive faces, Kitsusagi are able to express themselves remarkably well, even though they cannot speak the tongues their owners do.
Although they are strong as adults, during their whelphood, they are surprisingly suspetable to malnourishment or easily hurt from any form of neglect.. and grow to be..
If your kitsusagi does grow up sick, it doesn't take very much for you to heal them, but the time spent and the affection needed are great. Sickly kitsusagi are easily spotted by their less than glossy and matted fur, unhappy eyes and thin, wiry frames.
The Snowbound Souls
A race of Kitsusagis that have only recently began appearing in the area of the realm of kitsusagi, the first generation of these kitsusagi have been reported to have been shipped from the cold miniature colony of the Northern expansures, arriving in large boxes, with eggs sitting in snow.
Larger than any other kind of kitsusagi (Even the Nightmare and some dragons!), these kitsusagi are easily noted by their long, shaggy and warm fur, huge bulky appearances and remarkably friendly personalities. Due to their larger appearances and longer stamina - Snow kitsusagi are considered the best species for manual labour and events such as sled racing and carriage pulling (Or so the notice said.)
At this time, there are only a handful available, making them a very mysterious race still. The others that came in the first batch have yet to hatch...
The Spiritual Dragons
A strange strain of kitsusagi who were recently founded and petitioned for peace with over in a distant and royal country. Although fairly new, a couple small strains of the Dragon kitsusagi were recently founded in our own little area - giving those who study the different kinds a rare and elusive chance to study and form an opinion on these odd creatures.
Considered one of the larger races that exist at this time, only to be outgrown by snow kitsusagi, these kitsusagi are not known for their girth and size, but more of their length - as they are remarkably long body wise - they're middles actually fold up a bit in an "n" like fashion. Elegant and wiry, these kitsusagi are more directed at the fashionable and noble houses of owners, as they are not one to enjoy the life of a humble servant.
Although they have recently appeared on this island, there still seems to be some eggs from the first batches that have yet to appear..
Water Spirits
Living in the waters around the Southlands, due to it's warmth and tranquility, the MerKitsusagi emerged. There is a folklore surrounding the scales on their tail and the elegant fin on the end is both stylish and functional. People believe they are lucky because they are thought rare and mysterious, truth is, they really are lucky! Maybe you'll see one in your lifetime, maybe more, consider it a treat from them...
[ Kitsusagi ]
The Winged Saviors
Angelic Kitsusagi are considered the saviors of the ages, floating on large, full plumed wings that are apparently unattached visably from the main body. Usually spiritual and kind hearted, they are easily approached by other races, and will never hesitate to offer wise knowledge to their kin - although there are physical evidence of those who have personalities that clash with this written documentation on them.
Slightly larger than a normal kitsusagi, their fur is visibly longer and vibrant, and their faces show an oddly calming orray of moods. But of all the physically things that seperate them from the others, it's the halo that dances over their heads - always blindly following it's owner, a true symbol if spirituality and hope.
Each Angelic is able to carry a certain ability, (such as healing, or telekinesis) that can help or hinder at times of need.
The Mythical Nightmare Kitsusagi
Known in all writing as the cursed and demonic beings of lore, due to errenous ways in their past, the nightmares have forever been cursed to horrors and unrest due to their predecessors actions. They are normally said to be more moody and brooding kind of kitsusagi, keeping to themselves and pushing away the other races due to their bloodbound hatred for those unlike them. Although, it should be noted that not all Nightmare Kitsusagi are uneasy by nature - as there are physical evidence of calm and even approachable individuals.
Easily recognized by their short and wild pelts, the skin on their maws and paws have receeded over the ages to produce long and sharp weapon like appendages, their maws skinless and bone thick, a long snake like tongue entrapted within. Due to their curse, their eyes have been sown shut - closing them off from the seeing world for ever.
Due to their physical curse, Nightmare Kitsusagi can not see at all, and their senses of smell and hearing are detrimented. They rely highly on their senses of taste and feel. Each nightmare is able to carry a certain ability, (such as healing, or telekinesis) that can help or hinder at times of need.
The Creatures of Emotion
When the land was young and darker creatures roamed the earth there was a creature that was considered the darkest of all. The Shadowlings came forth from the only place you would expect with such a name, the shadows and brought with them their unique ability. Our land's Scientists have discovered that these creatures enhance and even dominate the emotions of the creatures they attach themselves to. When they find a dark and shadowy place, they can evaporate into shadow and seep into the subconsious of anything nearby.
It was only thought that the Shadowlings could control the dark side of beings, well, it's now thought that they can control the entire spectrum of emotion, ranging from love to hate, sadness to happiness, all by isolating the thought and feeling and melding with it, enhancing it to their whim. Not much else is known, but if the will of the receiving creature is great, he or she can push out the Shadowling and go on relatively unaffected.

-What is a guardian?-
Guardians are from a world all their own. No one's quite sure where it is as the guardians are very secretive about it - it's in their nature to be protective or secretive about people or things they care about. They first became known to humans and kitsusagi during the great war between the two races. It was with their help that a peaceful agreement was able to be reached.
They seemed to have a strong link to the kitsusagi, and it was later discovered that they could bond to individual kitsus provided that the egg they hatched from was left near a kitsusagi for a time. They are incredibly devoted to the kitsusagi they bond to, doing their very best to protect them from harm. They're also able to translate kitsusagi speech into human and vice versa, allowing for communication between the two species. The only drawback to having a guardian is that they may not be seperated from their bonded kitsusagi, or else the guardian will wither and die.

RP IN THIS THREAD OR THE GUILD ONLY!
The Kitsusagi HQ is a neutral zone. Senseless violence between kitsu will not be tolerated. That means no killing, no maiming.. etc. Angel is the guardian of the HQ, and she does have special powers to 'deal' with troublemakers. Punishment can range up to exile [which means no breeding. ever] or even death.
Some general rules
1. Kitsusagi do NOT speak english! Meaning, your kitsusagi can not communicate with you verbally. The most a kitsu can do to communicate with it's owner/caretaker is body movements and various clicking and barking like noises. They can however communicate well to eachother, also using various body movements, etc. They can also communicate with their guardians, whom can act like a translator to humans.
2. Please do not fight, unless you have good reason to do so or it's part of the RP. I don't want anyone getting hurt in some pointless argument!
3. Nightmare kitsu cannot see, hear, or smell ^^ The only sense they have is taste [some of them have adapted their tongues similar to a snake]

- Our world -
(map under construction check back for updates as to regions, weather and climate)
This world we live in is grand, so extraordinaire you'd never really believe my words... till you'd see it for yourself. Our world is full of magic, all that magic carried by the wind around... travelling from our forests, to our desserts, passing through our grasslands and across our rivers. There is so much land to see, and yet still, not all of us will see it... only the wind will, and as it passes, I'll lift my ear up and listen to all the stories it tells me about those far away places.
The Kingdom of Athas
"Athas" means "joy" in Old English
To the North a kingdom of white crowned jewels, of creatures of another sort and iron hills that sparkled of silver, stood still in the cradle of time. Long before the King had passed on and with no sons to be his heir, a woman stood in his place. With a kind hand she ruled the kingdom, her people happy and wearing a rosy bloom about them. Seldom did war come upon this realm and so the castle walls remained open, white marble gleaming brightly in the sun. Here dwarves and woodland elves made their homes, building high terraces in the trees about the kingdom. The race of man and halflings of other sorts living hand in hand with friendship shared among the kindred souls.
Sceaduwe
The Lands of Shadow, this is the realm of evil.
Greot Saewall
A land of sand and dunes, except for upon the beaches, where lush plant life grows.
Mothare
The land of jungles, thick with plant life and exotic creatures. The forest:
Darkness ensues the plants and tall trees, milineair vegetation all around, looming over ancyent pathways that lead to caves, secret hideouts and to green meadows, hidden inside the forest...
Deep down in the middle of it lies a house, old a tattered, shutters banging int he wind. Few dare stroll in or even by this old place, since it's rumored to have spirits of old, almost millenair kitsus inside, and who knows if they're even nice ones.
The meadows are the light of the forest, bathed in clear sun light, they are almost the only places one can lay down and feel the sun, since the tall trees inside the forest let little light seep through their branches, always in eternal battle to gain the little that does seep in.
Snaking its way across the forest is a main river, branching from it are smaller streams, fish swim in its clear blue waters as birds swoop down to attempt a capture or two.
Torrland
A territory of towering mountains. Kitsusagi Mountain
Sister shop to the Realm of Kitsusagi, the Mountain is situated a short hike from the Realm's main house.
Considered to be a warm and welcoming place, the habitants of the mountain have been known to make a wonderful life in the hilly sides of the mountains.
Any kitsusagi from either shop may be RPed in either places, but some rules are in play for them.
Cities/Towns
Fionn City - The Royal City, a great city crowning the mountains in the north of the isle
