Welcome to Gaia! ::

<center></center>


Welcome to our modest little shop. Feel free to look around and find something that strikes your fancy. We just may have something for everyone.

By the way... could I interest you in one of the ancient chinese folding fans? They are very elegant and add a touch of flare to any room they are put in for display.

But I warn you.... they aren't exactly normal fans. I'll let you figure out the rest on your own. The surprise is well worth it.

1. Do not steal, edit, or otherwise alter these images if you don't work for us . Doing so will result in an immediate (and permanent) blacklisting and a report to a moderator.

2. Suicide threats in the thread is not tolerated. You will not be given your own way. People who use such extreme tactics will be PMed about crisis intervention organizations and be blacklisted from the shop. Threats against any other owner are also taken very seriously, and will be forwarded to a MOD, accompanied by a blacklisting.

3. NO COMPLAINING or whining or begging. Please no depressive behaviour either, emotional tactics are a big no no. Its pixel pets not real life. Speaking about problems in an appropriate manner is fine, we all have them. And everyone needs someone to talk to, in order to sort things out. But emotional ploys and cries for attention are not acceptable. Nor are they tolerated. Please refrain from using such things to guilt others or make them feel bad. We realize sometimes you may not mean to make others feel bad but please refrain from that behaviour. If you feel you must speak about serious problems, it is recommended to speak to someone in your real life. If that is not possible, direct this to Kithen in PM. Keep it off the thread. And keep in mind, you will be directed to appropriate crisis intervention help.

4. Feel free to RP in this thread. It's good for bumpage. No cybering. Violence is accepted, but be respectful of the wishes of others in the thread.

5. Everyone must listen to Steal, Kithen, the shop account, or staff. Your pet can be removed and taken away without refund for breaking shop rules, causing trouble for other owners from this shop, or for harassment or ill-treatment of shop owners or the staff of this shop, whether in the shop, PM, or messanger. You can be greylisted or temp banned if you choose not to listen to the staff, perm banned if its the owners or if the offense is severe enough.

6. a. DO NOT fight out of character in this thread. If you do, the persons who are involved will be immediately blacklisted and they will relinquish any claim to all pets they may own, without refund. This is done at our discretion; If it's not a bad fight, other measures may be considered. RP fighting between the pets is acceptable.

b. Do NOT harrass or hound other pet owners whether it be in the thread, PM, or on messanger. If proof is provided and received with a complaint, you can be grey-listed or blacklisted. Owners have no obligation to give offspring from a breeding to anyone who harasses them. And they are NOT permitted to simply give their pets away.

7. Do not lie to the shop mule, Steal, Kithen, or to the staff. If this is discovered it may likely be a bannable offence.

8. You are to notify the shop account within one week of changing your avatar name, or getting a new account. If we discover your name to no longer exist, we reserve the right to take your pet back at no refund to you, and resell it.

9. RP Rule- RP is optional with these pets, but definately encouraged. But you can only breed and recieve perks if they are actively roleplayed. And later when we add an elder stage, they can only obtain that through intense rp. You must RP in the shop thread, or in an appointed RP thread if it ever becomes necessary. RP in PM's or over a messanger does not count towards the actual storylines of this shop. And please do not RP your pets in other shops, or brings pets in from another shop. The RP takes place in an actual oriental antiquities shop, or out in the forming world that the Tessen can only reach. We do not want people RPing themselves or humans intereacting with the Tessen. They are a spirit guardian.

10. Bumping and Spamming of the shop thread is not needed or wanted. Warning will be given, and if not heeded, may result in a greylisting. This thread is for social interaction and RP. Bumping is accepted in auction or sale threads. Infact, that is the only place we encourage it.

11. No co-owning of pets unless otherwise specified.

12. Owners can keep one offspring each from breedings to keep or sell, the third they must agree on what to do with. If there is randomly a fourth given, that one will returnn to the shop. If at a later time we sell a potion or something that allows for an extra child, it would belong to the person who bought it, for them to do with as they please. Any unclaimed offspring will also return to the shop, after a period of approximately two weeks.

13. Breeding can only occur if the pets are Rped. But all inactive pets can be bred with, with an active one. The cost would be half the regular price, and they keep one offspring, and get half the sale price of a second one. This is offered as an OOC perk to RPers, and to mix and circulate the traits. Such breedings will be under shop permission only, and the offspring will not be counted towards the inactive pets lineage if they don't wish it to. Nor will it affect any breeding limits.

14. We reserve the right to refuse anyone permission to own one of our pets. A reason may be requested in PM politely, but one may not be given. Anyone on the blacklist if forbidden to ever own one of these pets.
---------------------------------------------------------------



Anyone breaking these rules will be warned, then greylisted if the behavior continues, and then blacklisted. There will be NO exceptions. Unbanning is unlikely, and would be for a very good reason. However if you do become unbanned, any pets you had removed will not be returned to you, however we may consider giving you new ones.

RP is to be in shop only at this point.
No god-moding
No power-gaming
No auto-hitting
Do NOT assume the actions of someone elses character
All RP sessions are to be freeform turnbased.
During RP sessions, keep OOC to a minimum or in OOC brackets.

Samples of the different stages of these pets can be seen below. But each one is individually coloured.

The breeding rituals of these strange creatures is unknown at the moment. But as we discover it, the information will be passed on here. But we do know that they only breed male and female. Except in very rare situations after intricate rituals to gain the privledge.

Breedings will only be given to those who RP their matings regularly.
