Growings Thread!

Today is a bright day, like no other. Clouds hover in the sky mysteriously and a cool wind wafts through the air, as the suns rays slowly transcend to warm the earth. The sun shifts in and out of visibility, but you aren?t cold, but at peace. Forest glades surround you and in front of you a waterfall cascades gently into an ocean inlet. Looking far outward you can see the cove and the soft beach, warm sand welcoming you to join it. You can?t say what has brought you here, but some mysterious calling has drug you from the road and plopped you down in this mysterious scene. Far away Killer Whales are breaking the water surface in whatever way possible. Slapping their tails upon the water, jumping into the air, and whatever other ruckus they can invent.

Finding yourself at peace you continue to walk onwards, clamoring over rocks and moss to reach the welcoming beach below. As you approach you realize there is a woman standing there obviously giving directions to a few lost tourists. She has long golden blond hair that reaches near to her waist, and up in a pony tail, though a few strands seemed to have escaped and are shifting with the ocean winds. She is clad in a t-shirt with the imprint of an Orca and what almost seems to be running shorts. Around her neck is a Native American carving and a small blue whistle. She looks up as you approach and smiles, obviously having experienced many people as lost as you in these parts.

"Hi, Welcome to Wolves of the Sea, a world of underwater creatures simply a plane flight away in Alaska! Here you will find many sea creatures, both large and small and have the chance to become the adoptive protector of these magnificent creatures. Interested? Please see Twiddle for the directory, she lives on the Cliffside near the rubbing rocks. Its 3245 Breaching Ln. It shouldn?t be too hard to find. We have a sister protectorate located in Florida for the manatees, but here we specialize in Orcas. There are tons of events and trips, Twiddle will let you know about everything! I?m Kealdra Arrikanez by the way, if you need any help you can talk to I or Twiddle."

Taking her advice you head up the beach towards the road. From your vantage point you can see that it winds a long for quite a ways before breaking off to go to the cliff face. You're in for quite a walk, but something about this seems worth it.

An hour later you find yourself in front of a small, but homely looking cabin, the waves crashing far blow you against the rock face. A small sign hanging over the door reads "Rahar Cove". Below it hangs another sign reading "Home". You take a deep breath, unsure of exactly what to do and then step inside.

As you head into the small log cabin, the scent of lavender tickles your nose. There is an undertone of something else though, maybe fish? Apparently Twiddle had the idea to place lavender scented candles almost everywhere to get rid of the stench. The soft light cast a welcoming aura all around.

As you walk further in, your feet cushioned by an oriental rug, you hear some rustling noises behind the wooden desk before you. "Where is that...." A voice suddenly says, obviously talking to herself. Suddenly a red pouf of hair flew up from behind the desk, "AHA! Gotcha!" The young woman says, grinning. As she spots you though, she smiles apologetically. "Oh! I didn't hear you come in. I must look like such a nutcase!" She laughed, a musical sound, and set her pen on the desk before her.

"I'm Twiddle. You've probably already met Kealdra, as normally people don't find thier way here without directions. Anyway, welcome, welcome! I can tell you all about our wonderful adoption program if you're interested!"

The woman pushed a pamphlet into your hands, it was adorned with whales, dolphins and manatees, and inside it was filled to the brim with information. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

F.A.Q.

    Q: OMGIWNT1LOLOLL CAN U GIVE ME 1?!?!?!
    A: No. :/ If you beg like this more than three times, you'll be greylisted.

    Q: Alright, alright. So, how can I get one?
    A: That's better. 8D There are many ways to obtain a whale; flat sales, auctions, raffles, give aways, games, etc. Just stick around and you'll probably get one eventually.

    Q: Can I have one for free?
    A: No. D: Unless you're Kea or Twidz friend, or you win somke kind of free event, there won't be any free whales.

    Q: But ___ got a free one!!!!
    A: That's because they're either a freind of Twidz or Keas, or they're just cool and deserved one.

    Q: Fine. Are they RP required?
    A: No. You can get one and never show your face again for all I care. But to breed, you need to RP. (See breeding post on second page for more information.) Or pay double the price.

    Q: Do you do pet trades?
    A: Yup yup! Check the trades and customs post to see if they're open. :3

    Q: Are you single?
    A: Uh.... o__o That's not relevant in any way.

    Q: Fine. </3 Are you hiring?
    A: Not at this time, but sometimes we need guest colorists. :3 There will be an announcement about it if that comes up.

    Have a question not answered here? Ask it in the thread!

Here are the Orca stages all done up. ^.^ The Growth chart may be added to as new lineart pieces are drawn. Included below is the Dolphin preview, the rest of which still needs to be drawn and inked in. Mabye we will even have Shark lineart. X_X. Also, sometime in the future we hope to get Daimyn's lineart, though we are not sure if this is ever able to occur.

Auctions are very random, happening sporadically. Often times they just show up, there is no announcement, so keep your eyes peeled.

1. Auctions always start at 3K, and there is occasionally an auto buy, though this is rare.
2. Do not fight/beg/plead or attempt to bribe anyone in the auction thread, it will not be tolerated.
3. You may bid with gold and Mid - LD donation items only!
4. Auctions will very rarely, if ever, be closed to non newbies.
5. Auctions will have their own special rules posted, follow them.
6. Auctions tend to be for rare Wots, like Special Unusual colorings and unreleased species.
7. Do not harass us over an auction, or we will not allow you to participate.
8. You cannot recall your bids, so do not bid if you do not have the money.
9. Do not discourage others from bidding. If you're seen doing so, you will be greylisted and banned from the auction.

Quests are ways for people who do not have much gold to get a Wots. Newbies will be the only one to receive a deduction from their gold, though we will post quests and links for those who already own a Wot. 30% of all earnings from SoA will go towards the quest pot, as well as all donations given. At the end of each month Twiddle and Kealdra will decide whether or not any of the newbies have posted enough, and if they have, the newbie who we have seen posting the most will receive a decuction from their quest equal to the quest pot. The quest pot will then go down to zero. You can still keep questing if you do not have enough gold, though we expect updates every week on how much gold you have for your quest through PM. You don't have to do this if you have a quest link with the information there. To get a quest, simply fill out this form and PM it to the Wolves of the Sea account!

Role play is not required here at Wots, but it is very much encouraged. Eventually we will have a guild and you'll be able to set up a journal for your pet, and have private and open RP threads. <3 You can role play at any time in the main thread as well. :3 Role playing rules are quite simple.

1. NO killing another persons creature. Unless they tell you it's alright, you cannot kill off someone elses pet.
2. Please stay in character to how the animals would really act. We don't want whales jumping around on land in hula skirts singing the Macarena. <<
3. Please be respectful to other role players.
4. Keep it PG-13.

All the whales live in the open ocean, and hardly ever interact with humans. We don't mind if you RP as your avatar or OC admiring the whales from afar, but remember, only the staff is allowed near the whales here. <3 You can play as your whale, in fact we prefer this. x3 The ocean where they swim is vast and blue; not so different from real life oceans. xD There are coral reefs where the smaller whales can explore, and the larger whales normally stay further from it, due to size limits. All in all they live in a harm free environment, though the occasional shark may wander by. ninja
