Welcome to The Chaimu Grasslands! Named after its inhabitants, the Chaimu, the Chaimu Grasslands is a land of peace and harmony. The main breed and inhabitants of the Chaimu Grasslands are called the Seijaku, though Daiichi has once affirmed that there are two other breeds of the Chaimu that live in the Grasslands, the Kanshinin and the Itazura... They are just hardly spotted.

Speaking of which, here's Daiichi!

Daiichi assists the Chaimu guardian is caring for all the Chaimu and bring her orphaned puffs sometimes to help them seek new homes. She is also said to bring luck to anyone that succeeds in spotting her so maybe if you catch her, you'll get something special!

[Story]

ARGH. RE-WRITING IN PROGRESS.
[Species Guide]

__________Seijaku__________

The Seijaku are the natural inhabitants of the Chaimu Grasslands and can usually be found in little groups of 2 to 6. They are hardly ever alone. These peace-loving creatures are omnivores and eat anything from grass to tiny insects such as ants and beetles. Intelligent and quick-witted, the Seijaku can usually be taught to speak in the native tongue of their owner and converse with other Chaimu in a series of clicks and barks. Their bells are used to attract potential mates during the mating season are are said to have healing powers although it is believed that once you use up the magic in the bells, the Seijaku will die. It's just hearsay, though... ninja
User Image


__________Kanshinin__________

Not much is known about this species of the Chaimu as sightings of the Kanshinin are extremely rare. They are believed to be blessed with legendary powers and their bells are said to be able to heal anything. You would have to be very special to be granted a visit by a Kanshinin, though...

__________Itazura__________

The Itazura are yet another mysterious breed of the Chaimu. Legend has it that the Itazura are the mischief makers of the Chaimu Grasslands and sometimes cause harm to other Chaimu. As such, they were banished to a deserted part of the Grasslands and were hardly ever seen again...
[How To Obtain A Chaimu]
There are many different ways in which you can obtain a Chaimu and they are all listed below. ^^

User Image
__________Luck-based Flatsale__________
  • A number will be generated either via dice rolling or number generating. The first 4 (or as many flatsale pets there are) will be the ones to get a pet each. First person to get the number gets first pick, second gets second pick, etcetc.
  • A warning will be posted 5 minutes before the commencement of the sale and no one else should post until a "GO!" is posted in purple.
  • You can post as many times as you want as long as there are still available pets.
  • All luck-based sale pets will cost 4k each; all trades to be sent to the mule, please.
  • Please post the form before sending trade with the page number of the form.


__________Numbered Flatsale__________
  • A number will of posts (usually 3) will be set. When "GO!" is posted, everyone interested in a flatsale pet posts "I would like one, please!", and every post corresponding to that number including the first post will be a winner.
    Eg. 3 is the number of set posts. First person to post that he/she would like one gets one, the third person gets one, the sixth person gets one, the ninth person gets on.. So on and so forth. (Yikes. Bad explanation.)
  • A warning will be posted 5 minutes before the commencement of the sale and no one else should post until a "GO!" is posted in purple.
  • You can post as many times as you want as long as there are still available pets. But if you've already gotten one, your post will be skipped to the next person.
  • All numbered flatsale pets will cost 4k each; all trades to be sent to the mule, please.
  • Please post the form before sending trade with the page number of the form.


__________Raffle__________
  • Raffles usually last for a week, during which anyone can buy as many tickets as they like for anyone.
  • Raffle tickets will cost 100g each; all trades to the mule, please.
  • If your number is a winning ticket, please post the form to claim your pet within 3 days or all your tickets will be void and the numbers will be re-drawn.


__________Auction__________
  • An auction takes place when a special Chaimu(s) needs a good home. It may also be the only way you can obtain a fully customised Chaimu and even the rare Kanshinin or Itazura.
  • Please do not bid what you do not have during an auction.
  • Please do not discourage anyone from bidding.
  • Please send the trade within 24 hours to the mule and post the form to claim your pet.
  • Normal auctions start at 5k, breeding auctions start at 3k.


__________Bribes/Customs__________
  • Please check the staff post for more information and to check for availability spots. ^^


__________Page Prizes & Freebies__________
  • Given out to a random poster(s) on special pages like 100, 200... etcetc & nice people.
  • Random pages will also be chosen for additional page prizes when I feel generous. Especially pages numbers that include my favourite number. xD
  • Freebies & page prize pets may be given away to someone else.


__________Flatsale Rules__________
  • You may only co-own with one other person for a flatsale pet. Which means a maximum of 2 owner names on the cert.
  • You may only buy one flatsale pet per batch to give others a chance.
  • You can always try for someone else in a flatsale, just be sure to put it in your post. ^^
  • Keep whining about not getting one in a flatsale to the minimum, please. There will always be other chances. ^^
  • Please do not try to discourage someone from trying for a pet that you want. =(
  • Don't try to time the sales, please. I won't start on the dot all the time. Anyone caught doing that will be greylisted.

__________FAQs__________

a.k.a Fake, Allegedly-Asked Questions

Are they roleplay required?
Nope. But RP will be rewarded... ninja And I do require that you pop by the thread once in a while.. Just to say Hi or something. Pets that belong to inactive owners will be taken back and given new homes.

How come my pet is taking so long to grow?!! scream
I have a life outside Gaia, you know.. Dx Just be a little more patient? I'll grow them when I have time. o.o;; I'd say roughly a week between stages? Puffs to baby stages are faster. ^^

Can I direct link?
Please do! ^^ But when they get to adult stage, save them to your own server so that they don't eat up my bandwidth, please? <3

How many can I own?
You can own as many as you like. ^^

When is your next sale? I want one!!
Uhmm... It'll be up in the news or thread title when there's one. ^^

But I don't want to wait!! I want one nowww!11!!! scream
Ehhh. Bribe me? o.o;;

How come so-and-so gets a free pet and I don't?!?!! scream
O_O;; Because I say so? And I give out free pets as I see fit. Please don't ask for one. Dx

Omg. So-and-so named his/her pet the very same name I wanted to name mine!! crying
It's okay~ That's what the I.D is for. xD Your pet will still be unique. =3


More to be added if I see fit. xP

[Breeding]

Aahh. There will come a time when your little Chaimu isn't so little anymore and will wish to have babies of his/her own. xD

Chaimu breed in a very secret and magical way. =o No one really knows what happens but when a male and a female meet, somehow or other, if they're compatible, they will always with emerge from their secret breeding place a week or less later with a little brood of 2 to 4 babies. <3 Or maybeeh even more. =o

__________Breeding Info__________
  • Only male and female adult couples may breed.

Anything above 10k and I request 70%, please. Alternatively, you may sell the babies back to the shop for 2k each and I'll put them up for adoption.
  • Any breeding pairs that involve Kanshinin and Itazura must be roleplayed. If you roleplay your Kanshinin/Itazura somewhere other than in this thread, please give me a link to the RP. ^^

[Chaimu Credits, Shop Credits, and Some Other Stuff]

__________Chaimu Credits__________

Chaimu credits are special credits which can be used to purchase special items for your Chaimu. ^^

Also, if you manage to rack up 10,000 Chaimu credits, you may exchange them for a semi-custom adult. <3

The only way you can get Chaimu credits are when I give them to you. They are not for sale. xP

Chaimu Credits Holders

__________Shop Credits__________

Shop credits are like Gaia gold, 1 shop credit = 1 Gaia gold. They can be used to purchase anything from the Chaimu shop, including Flatsales, Auctions, blablabla. ^^ Sometimes, there may be special items that may only be purchased with shop credit. xP

Shop credit may be bought or given, but not convertible to Chaimu Credit. You may not seek refunds for Shop Credit, so make sure you're certain when purchasing shop credits. xP
