Guild

You make your way into a dimly lit cave in a remote location far from any towns or villages. The dampness sinks into your layers of clothing as echoing droplets, whispering-low growls and the sound of shuffling feet can barely be heard from the depths of the cavern. You had heard rumor of strange and powerful beasts that live in the cave... and the few people who dwelled in the darkness to take care of them.
The nature of these beasts is true mystery. Some say they're possessed feral creatures abandoned and left to rot through for centuries in the chilly abyss, others say they are demons creeping upwards from the underworld to claim the lives of lost travelers. Some say that these creatures can be called from a life of imprisonment to serve humanity.
As you journey farther and farther into the cave, you can see several figures calmly lounging within the shadows. Torchlight reveals two women sitting at a long oak table, one of raven hair and the other of an oddly bright magenta. The dark haired woman turns to greet you as you wearily approach, leaning her elbows onto the table. "Well hello! I suppose you're here to try and tame one of these wild creatures for your own, eh? It will take one who is truly dedicated to calm and train such a beast as the Banthi." You nod slowly, pretty much everything the weird lady had uttered might as well have been in another language. Unsure of what you're getting yourself into, you consider turning tail and leaving this awful place of mysticism. Before you could make a decision, you're stopped just as the magenta haired woman turns. Digging into a pile of rubble and dust behind, she produces what appears to be a petrified limb, clawed talons digging into a dimly shimmering gem held firmly in place. "If you want one of these babies for yourself, you're gonna have to read the rules first." She gave an unsettling smirk and motioned her hand in a shooing gesture, tossing an extremely large, dusty and worn book onto the table. "You still here? Get reading!"

The Banthi have been a legend since time began, but like most legends, they are often forgotten. Rabid and Kitara both deeply believed these creatures still existed but lacked any proof. After having studied the Banthi legends and myths for years, they both set out in search of them. They soon arrived at an abandoned and secluded cave, the only clue to where these beasts dwelled . Journeying farther into the cave than any human had ever before, Rabid and Kitara found old, petrified claw-like stands that held different colour gems. Convinced they had found the Banthi, Rabid and Kitara started to make the cave home and spent several days trying to pry the gems from the claw's death grip (That'd be Rabid... she's greedy like that XD) Luckily, the cave held more than just the gems... It held shelve upon shelve of old records of Banthi legend and mystery. After reading all they could, Rabid performed the very first calling. Both were amazed when the stone claw shattered and the gem itself formed into a small, helpless Banthi. After such, Kitara called her own gem and both began to raise the small beasts in the safety of the deep caverns, making sure to produce the best of the rare species.

Like all the other shops out there, we have rules and warnings. I bet you're all jumping for joy!

1- Read the rules, of course!
2- Take good care of your Banthi, if not they may reject you and possibly even forcefully revert themselves back to gem form.
3- Be nice to all, no fighting! *waves finger*
4- Don't whine for a Banthi... You probably won't get one if you do.
5- Patience is a virtue, keep that in mind.
6- If your Banthi suffers from a major wound in battle, it might end up with scars. Pick your fights wisely.
7- Don't PM the owners to pester them to sell theirs'... You'll only guarantee that you'll NEVER get one.
8- No spam. Spam is only good in the can, anything else here that's spam is against the rules. (This includes advertising your own shop, contest or the like WITHOUT our permission)
9- Do NOT steal or edit ANYTHING in this shop. If we catch you doing so, we'll hang you by your own organs. (Rabid: >.< I MEAN IT!!!)
10- Direct link your certs at all times. You can save them to your own server if you wish, but if you add items or if it hasn't matured fully, we won't be responsible for giving you the URL again.
11- You may only own TWO Banthi. This even means when you breed your Banthi but already own two, you may ONLY keep those two.
12- Read the rules before asking us ANYTHING. If you ask us something that's right here on the front page, we will NOT answer you.
13- Don't grab a gem and never return. We work HARD on these and don't want them to just end up rotting in your sig or page somewhere. We do not support pet collectors.
The requirements to own a banthi is *1* RP post in-thread or in a journal per month. Chatting in-thread is a form of activity and will be accepted as such but a simple "Hi" once a month won't cut it. There is a strike-system implimented, 3 strikes and your banthi is removed from your care. **
14- You may bump, but not in excess. Lots of bumping will be counted as spam.
15- If a Banthi is not in the auction/ flatsale post then it is NOT FOR SALE!
16- Feel free to PM us with any questions that have not been answered on the front page, but don't go pestering us with stuff that's already been said. -.o
17- If you have a problem or conflict with someone in the thread, PLEASE take it to PM. We don't want unnecessary fights or quarrels in our thread, please.
18- HAVE FUN, DAMMIT! ^_^;

**If you cannot for one reason or another complete the requirements for a certain month, tell us in ADVANCE. We all have irl problems and responsibilities, we ask for common curtosy to let us know what's going on so we don't assume the worst.

For an in-depth look at banthi growth, anatomy, and the wilderness around them, visit the Banthi Anatomy site created by our own Leena-chan! heart

The Banthi have three stages of development:

User Image

This is the first stage or 'The Gem Stage'. This stage is where your Banthi is still dormant inside it's gem-form. The stone claw that holds the gem itself was once the Banthi's original body, but after death the body petrified itself and broke apart, remnants forming into a stone claw-like stand that supports the gem containing the Banthi's soul or spirit, a physical manifestation of it. The size of this stage is about 14 inches tall. Not much is required to take care of this stage, just don't break it or anything...

User Image

This is the second stage, or 'The Cub' stage. Once your gem has been awakened and has broken away from the stone claw that imprisons it, this cute little thing will emerge from the gem. This stage is when the Banthi depends on you the most. At it's infant stage, it will learn how to walk, eat solid food, and how to 'talk' telepathically with other Banthi's. At this stage, your Banthi is about the size of a grown housecat. Males are a bit bigger then females, which is usually the best way to tell the genders apart. Sadly, as most cases have proven, your Banthi cannot communicate with you directly, it can only use its body language or other means of expressing itself.

User Image

The final stage of growth, or 'The Adult Stage' is where your Banthi has reached the height of perfection! Now fully grown, Banthi can communicate telepathically quite well with others of their species. Your Banthi has also reached its height in growth, in which case males' shoulders reach up to mid-waist and females' reach to about the height of your hips. The result of this stage may be good or bad, it all depends on how well you treated and cared for it when it was a young cub. A neglected Banthi may rise up against its owner... possibly causing damage to you or other Banthi. However, documents have shown that a well-treated Banthi will protect its keeper through thick and thin, never leaving their side. Who knows... You may even be able to communicate without words. It all depends on how strong you connect with it.

Custom Orders = Open

As a new addition, Rabid will now be accepting orders for custom banthi.
These banthi will be RP-required and will count towards the 2 banthi limit.

Uniquely, orders will be accepted by means of a bribe where the minimum amount required for an offer to be accepted is 200K (Pure or negotiable items, ie. donation letter items).

Some pointers:
1. Even though customs slots are open, Rabid holds EVERY right to refuse your offer even if it meets standards.
2. The amount of lineart edits allowed is reflected by how much is offered.
3. Rabid is the authority in this (Kitara is back-up authority ninja ), her decision is final.
4. Rabid is more likely to accept your offer if it includes one or more of the items in her wishlist (located in her journal)
5. Try to be original in your ideas!

Order Form

Name:
Gender:
Type: (optional)
Stage: (adult or gem, gem will cost more)
Base colour:
Markings/patterns:

Horn colour:

Lineart edits?:

NOTE: In regards to any custom banthi acquired (that will be actively RPed) through auction, pet trade, event or order--- The gene for wings of any type, feather or otherwise, is a trait exclusive to ALPHA banthi. This means that any request for wings on a banthi will automatically be interpreted as that banthi being the Alpha member of a NEW CLAN. This position requires a great amount of dedication and responsibility, so choose wisely.

Breeding is: CLOSED

Slots:
1. ---
2. ---

If your Banthi is fully grown, it can start searching for a mate. Once your Banthi has found it's significant other, they can choose to breed. (Permission must be sent to Rabid or Kitara from BOTH owners before the pair has permission to mate.) The mating fee will consist of 500 gold per owner; 1,000 gold all together. The breeding pair contribute part of their own spiritual being to create a new gem in addition to the physical requirements, therefore in most cases same-gender mates cannot produce young. -.o It just doesn't work out.

Breeding Information
- Breeding must be open to be able to have two Banthi mate.
- Banthi will create 2-4 gems per breeding. The more fertile the more gems.
- The time it takes for the gems to be produced can range from a few days to a few weeks, it all depends on how busy Rabid and Kitara are.
- Banthi mate for life and must stick by their partner.
- Banthi are limited to 3 or 4 litters for their own health and wellbeing.
- Each owner is only allowed to keep ONE gem per breeding, but if you already have two Banthi, you may NOT keep any more gems from further breedings.
- Gems that don't go to either owner will be sold in RP-type events. Only WE may sell them.
- If you wish to give the gem to a friend, your friend MUST pay 3.5k to Banthi Caverns and send a PM to Rabid Jigglypuff stating which gem they want, the name, and gender.
- For two banthi to breed, their relationship must be carried out and seen via roleplay in either the guild, or in this thread.

Breeding Between Different Generations
A recent development in banthi research has led Kitara and Rabid to believe that intra-gen breeding is indeed a safe process for Banthi to partake in. However, there are some specific rules that must be followed for this process to be beneficial to the species and bloodlines.

1. A Banthi's mate must be no more than one generation above or below their own generation number. (Ex. Gen 1 + Gen 2. NOT Gen 1 + Gen 3.)
2. The breeding fee for an intra-gen pair will be raised to 2K. (1K per owner.)
3. Intra-gen pairs are limited to 3 litters maximum.
4. Rules regarding gems are as stands.

--------------------

Here are some things you can feed, give, or dress your Banthi in! If the item shop is open, then PM Rabid Jigglypuff with a list of everything you want. Once she approves it, send a trade to her with the exact amount of gold and title the trade 'Items' or something of the like so we can tell what it's for.

The Etitep Plant
Cost: 100g
User Image

The Etitep plant stunts Banthi growth. If you wish to keep your Banthi as a cub forever, then all you have to do is purchase this plant and feed it to them when they are a cub. If you try and give it to them when they're an adult, their body will reject it and they will most likely become ill. Once they ingest it, their growth will be forever stunted. Now being that your Banthi is a cub, it may NOT fight, mate, or do anything that only adults can do. Mind you, your Banthi will continue to age mentally and might suffer depression from the lack of growth. Choose wisely.

Etitep Remedy
Cost: 5,000g
User Image

This is the ONLY thing that will reverse the effect of the Etitep plant. If somehow you have given your Banthi the Etitep plant and want to let them continue their growth process, all you have to do is purchase this... rather nasty looking fluid and force feed it to them. From which the Etitep plants effects will be killed off and they will mature normally.

Nori Pills
Cost: 3,000g
User Image

Nori pills will increase your Banthi's rank or level in the battlefield by one level. You may ONLY purchase these once. In other words, ONE PER BANTHI! Of course if your Banthi hasn't taken Nori pills before and is in the Elite class, they may not use Nori pills to move themselves into the Alpha position. The Alpha position may only be won by challenging one of the current Alphas.

Medical Kit
Cost: 1,000g
User Image

If your Banthi is a battler, it may get pretty wounded during a fight. If so, you may purchase one of these medical kits to try and lessen the chance of any scars appearing. If your Banthi ever gets injured we will always care for it the best we can, but if you don't want any scars after the battle, you must treat them with this special medical kit. It's not guaranteed to work, but it may help the scars be less visible or prevent them altogether. It just depends on luck. You may only purchase TWO medical kits per Banthi in their lifetime.

Henkei-Yudoku Serum
Cost: 20,000g
-currently out of stock-
User Image

Henkei-Yudoku roughly translates to ?toxic mutation? and for good reason. Once injected into your adult Banthi, it will undergo a wide variety of physical changes. This is for both adult genders and the mutations can range from multiple wings, multiple horns, multiple tails, large fangs, spikes on it's body, and much more. In other words, it accelerates cellular growth in certain areas of the body. Once the mutation is complete it's irreversible and can only be performed once. That means you can only buy the serum once and once your Banthi has mutated, theirs no turning back. Make sure this is what you want before making the purchase.

Sometimes Banthi need to work out their frustration by fighting one another or so they can climb the ranks and be considered a fit mate. Both male and female Banthi are capable of battle, though it's more common for males to fight over a female or to be considered the 'alpha' of the pack. Not all Banthi must fight, though it is understandable if they choose a more peaceful lifestyle.

Rules
- You must PM Rabid or Kitara with the information below and we must accept it in order for your Banthi to be placed in a rank.
- We advise that your Banthi battle only those of the same rank, but we will allow a battle between different ranks if the reason is just.
- Your Banthi must have a reason to fight. Say, wanting to increase in rank, to defend or acquire a mate, or to settle a dispute.
- Both owners must agree OOC that they are willing to participate in the battle.
- You may NOT start a battle without Rabid or Kitara's consent.
- You have a time limit of one hour to battle.
- If one or both owners must leave during a battle, we will stop the battle and judge by the damage that has already been caused to determine the winner.
- Some Banthi may have natural advantages over others. Say a fox type Banthi faced Amon, Rabid's winged tiger Banthi, Amon would have the ability of flight and would be more powerful, but the fox type would be much more agile and could sneak attack. Age may also play a factor in experience.

Judging
Once the time limit is up, Rabid and Kitara will break the two Banthi up and look them over. Once we determine who is in the better shape and has the most energy left in them at the end of the match, a winner will be declared. If your Banthi wins, they will move up one rank. If your Banthi looses, they will stay in the spot they were already in. If we think it's a tie, the owners can either BOTH say they would like a re-match or neither of your Banthi will move up or down in rank. The only exception is in the case of the Alpha rank, where the loser will have to step down from the rank to make way for the new Alpha.

Joining Battle
If you wish to have your Banthi battle, you must state this in your PM to Rabid or Kitara.

Quote:

I agree that by participating in battle there is a chance my Banthi will lose. I also accept the fact my Banthi may acquire scars from battle that may never go away.

Before a battle is approved, a short RP dialogue will occur with whoever receives your PM. This is to ensure that the participants battle fairly and literately. This is just a practice run, so your Banthi will NOT be affected by it.

GODMODING and POWERPLAYING will NOT be tolerated at any point during the battle. Kitara and Rabid withhold the right to object to any action performed during a battle; what they say goes.

I was the one who originally thought up the idea of starting a breedable. Rabid, being one of my closest friends, announced that she would help me all the way with it. Even though I'm an artist, I don't really think of my art as... pet material. Same with my CGing skills. Both are required to have breedable-pet success, unfortunately. Rabid was then put in charge of drawing out the pet ideas and colouring. My interests are anime, manga, movies, drawing, and wasting my life away on the internet. I do NOT have a life and never will, lives are over-rated. XP I also dislike n00bs, snobs, 'popular' people, and monkies. Yes, monkies.

'allo! My job was to take Kitata's ideas and make them REAL! OoooOOooo.... *cough* I'm the banthi colourist here. I also do certing... and breeding... and items... I need a union. stare xd Anyways, I jumped on this bandwagon at the very beginning and I'm staying on for the ride, babeh! ... Wait, I'm supposed to talk about my interests n' shtuff now? Um, ok. o.O; I love anime, art, music, animals (horsies!), marshies, pocky, firearms and almost anything pointy. :3 I HATE snobs, abusive people, spiders, clowns, n00bs and you. Just kidding. XD

We do pet trade, but only for certain pets. If you wish to trade a pet of your own then you must PM either, or both of us with which pet you're offering along with a link to your shop. We may accept and we may decline. It all depends, so don't be upset if we decide not to... We know that this list is largely just wishful thinking. xd Pet-traded banthi are NOT RP-required. Meaning if you pet trade with us and get a banthi of your choosing you do NOT have to show up in the thread and RP it. We would love it if you did, but you don't have to unless you want to.

The greylist is for those who have violated one of the less severe shop rules. After they have been put on the greylist, they are banned from any events and posting in the banthi thread until the time stated is up.

T3h Greylisted

None, yay! whee

The blacklist is for those who have violated more then one of the shop rules or one of the more severe rules. Once your on the blacklist, there is little to no chance you'll ever be taken off and are banned from owning a banthi, posting in the thread, or participating in any events.

T3h Blacklisted

Reasan = Numerous discrepancies concerning the RPing of his pet.
Da Punkie Krys, rousen, Mynce, Altra, mysteryhero, Talec, SailorStar, ~Sasami~, aka Molly2, aka hatemylife, Cheetafang, BabyCream, Dragon_Fel, Draugsikina = Art theft in another shop.
Caitlyn HellCloud = Harassment and flaming in the thread.
manga_grrrl = Art theft.
samus x = Art theft.
Sark = Brought a personal problem and flamed in the thread.

Of course like every other shop out there, we don't EXPECT donations but lotsa luff and a free custom Banthi plushie to all who do!
(Please send all donations Banthi Caverns way, please! :3)

Plushies are no longer being offered for the time being.

Sadly, not all banthi find loving homes the first time around. Those banthi who are abandoned are taken care of by both Rabid and Kitara until a fitting owner can be found. The banthi who are ownerless and presently in their care are placed here in hopes of finding them a loving owner who will be able to care for them.

Rules & How To Adopt A Banthi

All banthi are roleplay required save for a few exceptions. Due to the fact that these banthi have been abandoned once before, we take extra measures to make sure that doesn't happen again. Meaning if you adopt a banthi and end up not RPing it at least once a month, YOU WILL BE BLACKLISTED. If you have the time and ability to care for an abandoned banthi, follow the instructions below:

In order to be eligible to adopt a banthi you must fill out the form below and send it to this account, Banthi Caverns. We have the right to either accept or decline your application, so no objections if you get turned down. This will result in an automatic greylisting. Adopted banthi cost nothing, seeing as we have already gotten the gold once before.

Hobbies:
How many Gaian pets do you own?:
How many of them are RP-required?:
How often are you on Gaia?:
How much time can you set aside to RP?:
Which banthi do you wish to adopt?:
Would you like to come to the caverns and meet the banthi?:

Fanart Goodies!

It seems a lot of people have been drawing banthi fanart but we never had a place to show them off. Well, it's about time we change that! This post is reserved to show off all those lovely works involving banthi, their caretakers, and your hosts Rabid and Kitara! heart Want your artwork displayed here? Just send a PM to this account with the link! Though they do have to have something in them involving this shop.

Here's a little place where i'll show off all my pets and keep a little journal of what's going on in my non-existant life. ^_^

Life of the Kitara

I just realized I NEVER update this thing. xd ; Sorry. Most of the stuff that normally goes here will probably end up in my Gaian journal now since I seem to be keeping that rather up to date recently.
