There comes a time in every Tonberree's life where it wants to make more little Tonberries. Given that they are frog-like, one would think that each pair might lay thousands of eggs! However, this isn't the case. At most, an expectant family might have four.
How does this happen, you ask? Well, we're not exactly sure. When two Tonberries love (?) each other very much, they hide away and then, suddenly, there are eggs! That's... about all we know. Seriously, though, do you REALLY want to know what goes on?
Given the fact that we want to keep the Tonberree population in check, we charge the Tonberries for use of these... 'hidden places' they find. The cost for a breeding is 20K. Each pair is guaranteed at least two eggs from the breeding, and may have up to four.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Two people who own two different Tonberries (in other words, you can't breed your own together) should post in the thread asking for a breeding slot, if there's one open. Please use this form:
[b]Owner Names:[/b]
[b]Tonberree Names:[/b]
[b]Desired Colourist:[/b] (CK is the only one right now.)
2. The colourist you pick will then use the random number feature on Gaia to determine how many offspring you will recieve between two and four. When this is done, you should send trade to that colourist, and she will do your eggs for you.
3. When breedings open, you may only claim one spot among all of your Tonberries. You may also only keep one egg per breeding.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE EGGS
1. Each owner may keep one egg, if they so desire.
2. Owners may choose to sell the egg back to the shop. It will then be put aside to be used in a 2nd/3rd/etc gen flatsale. Owners will recieve 2K for an egg they decide to sell to the shop.
3. Eggs may be auctioned in a thread set up by the owner. Auctions would probably work best for Tonberries who are 'special.' (IE: two Master Tonberries bred together will usually breed true.) 60% of what you earn on the auction will go to the colourist who did your eggs, and the owners will have 40% to split between them.
4. Eggs may be given to friends at no charge.
GENETICS
1. Normal x Normal = Normal, with a 1% chance of producing a Master.
2. Normal x Master = Normal, with a 25% chance of producing a Master. Master eggs will be noted.
3. Master x Master = Master, with a 10% chance of producing a King.
4. Special Tonberries (like the Harry Potter series) involved in breeding will vary. Offspring will tend to have features of the special parent.
Additional note: Tonberries will not necessarily be a mixture of the two colours of their parents. Colours will be similar, but due to Tonberree genetics, mutations regularly occur. One Tonberree may be thirteen different colours, where its sibling may be pure red. Though there will be evidences of the parents in all the young, colours will vary as much as personalities.
CURRENT KNOWN GENES
Shadow Gene: Colours are generally darker than parent colours.
Sunlight Gene: Colours are generally lighter than parent colours.
