Welcome to Avians!

In the near future, space flight will be an everyday thing, and far off planets will be explored. While searching for a new place for humans to colonize, an explorer came across a planet filled with massive rifts and trees reaching many miles high. Caves line the cliff walls of the rifts, and only the shadows of creatures can be seen fluttering from tree to tree. The inhabitants of this planet? Winged beasts of all shapes and sizes; the Avians! She captured a few, carefully made them able to transport, and sent them back here to Gaia, to share with everyone.

Here you will be able to get one of the winged creatures for your own. The question is ?which one??

The AV Point System!!


I have always wanted to reward those that come to the shop often, those that own a bunch of pets, or even those that refer friends to the shop. It wasnt untill reciently, when I was discusing something with FairieGodMother, that I thought of this point system. Any and all that would like to join the point system simply has to post their name. They dont even have to own a pet in order to be put on the list.

Here is a list of things that will get you points:

Buying a pet in an Auction: 50 points
Buying a pet in a Flat Sale: 40 points
Joining a Raffel: 20 points
Bumping 20 times: 20 points
Donations: 1.5 points per gp
Refering a coustomer*: 30 points
*cant just pop in and say hi, must be a coustomer

*Note* -- I will be giving out points to people that are active in the shop regularly, or that I feel earned them. wink

Current Point Rankings Can be found In the Guild Bank


So... What are these points for?
Well, anything really. They ban be given to other people as gifts. They can be 'spent' on items for the Avians. They can even be used to buy a custom Avian! The options are almost limitless!
~*~*~*AVIANS*~*~*~

Brief F&Q




Q. Are these pets R.P. required?
A. No, you do not have to R.P. or create any journals for these pets; although I wouldnt mind if you came back to visit every once and a while.

Q. Do I have to buy any special items for my pet to grow?
A. No, All the pets grow on their own, without any special items. However, there are items that can be purchased to make your pet grow faster, or to make your pet stop growing.

Q. How many pets can I own?
A. As many as you want to own!

Q: Where are the contests?
A: Post 13 wink

Q: Should I confirm the payment before I get my Pet?
A: You can if you want to, but you dont have to untill you recieve your pet.

Q: Who do I send the trade to?
A: To Avians

Q: Do I get anything if I refer a person to this shop, or can I get something like a frequent buyers card?
A: Yes! If you refer someone or if you are a frequent Adopter then you will be rewarded. I am currently setting up this sort of reward system. As soon as it is compleet I will notify all on the Mailing list!

Q: Can I be a guest Colorist?
A: Hmm... I guess so as long as I aprove of you coloring style. [spare info] All guest colorings will be put up in flat sales and the colorer will get 50% of the profit, 75% if the pet sells on the first day of the flat sale.

Q: Do you want feedback or reviews?
A: Yes, it is always welcome!

Q:Are there any rules on keeping the eggs and how to get rid of them (i.e selling at flatsales and the parents' owners and you get a percentage)?
A:You can sell them, auction them, keep them and start a collection, or give them away to friends... If you auction or sell them though, the shop gets 20% of the sale... You can breed two that you own, or if you ask another owner, you can breed with another owners Avian. I must be notified by the owners of both Avians if this happens though. The costs for breeding if it is a shared breeding can be split up between the two owners any way the owners agree upon, though I suspect it will be 50/50...

Q: My Avian hasnt grown in a while, when will it grow?
A: As soon as I get around to growing them, please be patient.
Pet Species


User Image

These creatures are not so uncommon in Gaia. One can look around and find them. These Griffins are born in the bottom of the valleys. Once they are old enough the hatchlings will crawl up the massive trees and use their tiny wings to glide from tree to tree. The older they get and the more developed their wings are the longer and farther they can glide. Once they are adults, they are actually able to fly. Though griffins could fly to the caves in the cliffs far above the valley floor, they prefer to stay close to the ground were they were born.

User Image

Large, winged, horse like creatures. They are herbivores by nature and because they have no limbs, they live in the caverns set into the cliffs. They are usually loners, except for when breeding, when they pair off with their chosen mates. Shortly after the eggs are laid, the male will leave. As soon as the eggs hatch and the younglings emerge, the mother will leave as well, leaving her offspring on their own. Scientists believe this is the reason Centavians are so antisocial. However, if raised together, they can live in groups of up to four.

I never thought there would be grasslands in the massive rifts that cross the planets surface, but there is. I have recently received Photographs of the lush green pastures and of its inhabitants, the Wildcats. They do not seem to be born from eggs, like the other Avians seem to be, but are born as the other mammals of Gaia are. Alive. Our explorer friend was able to sneak up on a cub that seemed to be lost, and captured it, sending it to us. They are like most housecats are; affectionate and playful, yet able to take care of themselves if they need to.

While exploring a cliff cavern the centavians would not go near, the explorer came accross a cluster of Dragon eggs. The first sentiant species the explorer has come into contact with, these dragons are somewhat humanlike in their younger stages. Becareful not to upsper their firy tempers.

User Image

Not much is known about this Avian. One thing we do know is they arent as friendly as the Griffins or Centavians, dispite their cute, childish looks. Although they do not seem to be born from eggs, these creatures lives are not hindered by it. These are the first Avians found to become elders.

~ heart ~ heart ~ heart ~ BREEDING ~ heart ~ heart ~ heart ~

Now that the shop is coming close to having it's first adults there will probably be some questions as to if the Avians owned can breed. The answer? Yes, they can.

It has been discovered that the avians are able to crossbreed with other species. However, these ofspring are infertal, unable to have children of their own. The ofspring will take after one parent in species instead of mixing breeds.

The amount of eggs (or children) an avian will have is compleetly unknown. They can have anywhere from 1 to 5 ofspring at a time.

Note: Breeding is only for Adults and elders.

While breeding, the chosen parents will stay in one of the four breeding locations. It is said that Avians that breed in their natural enviroment are more prone to have more ofspring. wink

Items


Anti growth potion: 3 in stock

User Image

Have you ever had an Avian that you thought was so cute when it was young, and you didnt want it to grow up. We have reciently found a stream, that if you mix the water of it just right with certain berries and leaves on the planet, it will create a potion that will make you pet stop growing. It will stay young, never to reach the Adult age. Sometimes, if the Avian is already an adult, the potion can even make it become young again!

Price: 300g or 450 AV points

Growth spurt potion: 1 in stock

User Image

This potion is like the opposite of the Anti Growth Poiton. This potion will make your Avian grow quicker, and may even become an Adult within the day! This potion also acts like an antidite to the Anti Growth Poiton, making pets that do not grow, well, grow.

These little dragonlike creatures are quite frendly and small. They are batlike in their eating habbits, eating mostly fruit and insects. They make small chirping sounds to comunicate with each other, and on occasion, to find food. These small little reptiles would make a great pet for any Avian.

These tiny creatures seem to always be accompanied by the light of the star from which it came from.
