<center>----Updates----</center>

24/01/07 - Two-year necro. No, I think the shop's staying dead. Also, mom's doing fine. Benign tumor. Moved across the bloody ocean, got married, and planning to move again. No plans for the shop.

9/01/05 - Hey, it's the new year. You've all likely been wondering where I've been, so I'll begin with an apology for leaving all of you hanging like this.

I fell sick sometime back, then my internet gave out for about a week, and I've had to make travel arrangements to visit home - my mother's just had an operation for breat cancer, and I'm still not sure how it's really gone.

In between, the thought of Christmas and New Year's on Gaia was somewhat stomach-turning. I also couldn't bring myself to colour another Fairy Dragon. I'll pick things up again by March, promise.

Until then, I'm not going to be around much. Leaving the country to visit home. I'll be back.

10/12/04 - Semi-custom auction. Auction is over. OniAja is a new owner.

10/12/04 - Faust and Ryouchia have grown.

7/12/04 - All draclings ready to grow. Owners please PM me.

Pir and Sylvarant's babies!

Maata, all grown up!

2/12/04 - Update: brown female went to karma_k, and the pink male went to Youkochylde. Sale's over.

check out the Purchasing and Ownership post for two adult dragons on special flatsale. They're not related to any of the dragons, and you may name them.

27/11/04 - Maata is ready to grow. Waiting for PM.

25/11/04 - Sunday's New look is ready. If you'd like to see it better, here's the larger image.

24/11/04 - Dragons Aiden, Zoe and Drake have grown up.

21/11/04 - aree's Phoebus has finally arrived. He doesn't quite fit in his cert, so here's the base image if you want the details.

19/11/04 - We've reached a thousand pages, and a Special Contest is up on the third post of the thousandth page. Good luck!

17/11/04 - More . draclings

12/11/04 - Rockapella's semi-custom. No name yet: http://orchestra.sorla.com/fdir/newred.jpg

10/11/04- There are now 3 eggs in incubation, and all draclings have been moved to the pending adults section. Owners, please PM me with details for the appearance of your grown dragons.

4/11/04 - There'll be a full custom auction, with the works, to thank shim, Moonza and Mau for their unsolicited, yet enthusiastic help with the guild. It was really encouraging to see that someone else cared about the FD project on that level. I'll post a link sometime today.

4/11/04 - Kerry conceded with votes still to count. It's over. Back to our regular programming.

31/10/04 - Halloween does some strange things. The fourth egg hatched much too early!

just
did.

12/10/04 - Head over to the Guild to see the plot behind our structured RP event.
<center>2 --- General Information --- 2</center>

The Fairy Dragons began a little differently back in 2003. This time round, they're standing a little taller, approximately three feet in height. I've also switched from an unchanging set of lineart to making each dragon a unique piece of work.

The FDs go through 3 stages spanning a minimum of 12 days. It spends a minimum of 5 days as an egg, followed by a minimum of 7 days as a dracling.

When your dragon makes it through those days, I'll transfer it to the "Pending Adults" section in the 3rd post, where I'll await instructions from you via PM as to its appearance as an adult, or you could request for me to take to the design myself. If you don't contact me to let me know how you want your dragon's adult form to look, I won't bother with it either.

Gender

The males and the females aren't difficult to tell apart - their physical differences also make them inherently more talented at certain skills - the males are better at hunting, and the females better at fishing.

Males - Streamlined wings for more rapid movement and spear-shaped tails make for faster, more controlled flight.

Females - Foldable wide wings and tails which serve to propel them better underwater make them excellent swimmers.

Colour Attributes


Fairy Dragons have 6 naturally-occuring colours: Red, Blue, Green, Brown and Black. Ideal geneic combinations result in another three "rare" colours: Gold, Silver and White.

Basic colours only have effect on general personality traits (thought by no means are they strict rules of behaviour), and no longer affect in-game performance.



Red

Fiesty and outgoing, the red dragons are the most social of the Fairy Dragons, and have been known to wither away in depression without company. They're more conscious of other individuals than themselves, and would rather look outward than inward in the way they live their lives.



Green

Mild-mannered, gentle dragons which are affectionate friends and quietly considerate. While many are somewhat introverted in nature, they take to company very well, and have an ability to get along with (or tolerate) the other colours of their race.



Blue

Calm, collected and often aloof, the blue dragons are either shy or choose to be loners, and tend to have personality traits that set them apart from the others. Some blues have even been known to survive well enough on their own in the wild, and never miss the social aspect of a community.



Purple

Much like the red, save for an occasional vain streak. Purple dragons tend turn out that little bit more beautiful than other colours.


Brown

Sensible and compassionate, the browns might be the most self-sacrificing of the race, and are also known to have the strongest parenting instincts.



Black

Feral and easily stirred to anger, the blacks are frequently quarrelsome and seem nearly anti-social in nature. Despite their hostile turns they are not selfish creatures, and are apt to take on work for the sake of the community without complaint, so long as no one treads on their toes.



Gold, Silver and White


Dragons of rare colour tend to stick together, as most feel somewhat separate from the main community because of physical differences more distinct than colour. The golds are larger and stronger, the white smaller and sleek, while the silver dragons have threatening bladed tails and ridged backs.
<center>3---Purchasing and Ownership---3</center>

For Sale
Pink male adult - sold to Youkochylde
Brown female adult - sold to karma_k


Fairy Dragons can only be obtained via flat sale, contests, raffles, resurrecting an old dragon, or through one of the owners, whether as a new egg or as a resurrected old dragon. I also don't do pet trades. They're kind of wasted on me, as I'll never RP them.

To purchase a dragon on flatsale, simply indicate your desired purchase in the thread and then send a trade.

Receipients chosen by current owners pay 8k for their dragon.

A dragon of common colour goes for 12k at flatsale price.

A rare dragon goes for 20k at flatsale price.

Each user is only allowed to own one Fairy Dragon unless he/she obtains a license for a second one. See below.

Once purchased, however, you'll never lose your dragon, as neither roleplay nor active posting is required of you. Buy the pretty art, and disappear from the thread. I won't take offense, I've already taken your gold. ^_^

Resurrecting old dragons.

Users who used to own a Fairy Dragon may have them brought back in their new form. Because neither roleplay nor participation in the upcoming game is requisite to owning a FD, there will only be a few rules involved in bringing your old dragon back to life.

1) You MUST have owned either an adult, an infant or an egg at the time the old game came to a close. I have records, and all you need to provide me is your username at the time, and the name of the dragon you want to bring back.

2) It costs 5k to request this service.

3) You may only have ONE FD per person, regardless of how many you've owned in the past. This rule will remain steadfast throughout the game. Choose wisely. You won't profit from the sale or transfer of your pet in the future.

4) You may resurrect more than one dragon you used to own, but still may not own more than one in absence of a second license. It goes to a new owner. You may choose a new owner for your dragon, or leave it up to me. The new owner pays an 8k fee for the resurrection.

Colour traits no longer matter, male and female dragons only have advantage over one another in hunting and fishing respectively, because of their natural latent abilities.

Please REQUEST ONLY VIA POST IN THIS THREAD.

Second License Holders
These may only be obtained via service rewards, contests, raffles and other such events. Please do not ask for them.

<center>4---Rules and Regulations---4</center>


  • No roleplay or active participation is required to keep a dragon that you've paid for.

  • However, you will not be updated via any means other than this thread. if you don't keep yourself informed, and this includes your dragon hatching and growing up, I'll not make any effort on my part, either. You can keep your Fairy Dragon at dracling stage indefinitely, it'll just sit in the "pending adults" section until you PM me with the info I need.

  • Do not PM me regarding the purchase of Fairy Dragons or the workings of the FD system. The info is here, or can be found by posting a question here.

  • Attempts to bribe me or one of the Fairy Dragon owners will result in you never getting a FD.

  • Accepting a bribe from someone wanting to obtain a dragon from your clutch will have you permanently banned from the game. I will send decoys to approach the owners from time to time.

  • You may only own one Fairy Dragon. Certain users will be able to obtain more than one, but the methods and/or criteria vary, and I won't entertain questions on how you might obtain a license for a second dragon.

  • Gaia's general TOS reguarding user behaviour still apply.
<center>5---Breeding---5</center>

How to

Please apply here.

Fairy Dragons produce clutches of 1-3 eggs. The eggs will take about 5 days to hatch.

-You do not own any of the eggs. BOTH parents choose the receipient of ONE of the offspring/eggs. That person pays a reduced price of 8k to myself. You get nothing, and should not receive anything from artwork you did not create. If you, as the owners of your dragons, have any form of miscommunication or disagreement as to who this ONE egg will go to, I'll put the egg up for flatsale, unless you guarantee that you'll come to some sort of resolution eventually. There'll be an arbitrary deadline for such a resolution, which will be determined on a case-to-case basis.


Frequency of "rare" colour occurences

If two of the same basic colours breed, chances of a rare dragon coming out of the combination are 1/100.

Any combination of breeding pairs of different basic colours will have a 1/50 chance of producing a dragon of rare colour.

The chances are narrowed again when one of the two is a rare colour, down to 1/10.

If both mates are of rare colour, chances are improved to 1/5.
<center>6----The Guild----6

LINK</center>

There are several RP threads located in the guild, including the structured RP event. Here you'll also find a map of Orchestra Island and the lair.

You'll also be able to create and decorate your very own personal Fairy Dragon rooms.

Oh, and go find out who Marco is. You'll love him.
<center>7----The Accessory Shop----7</center>

There are currently no standard accessories.

Adding a custom accessory to your dragon will cost 1k and up. Addition of accessories is completely reversible, and won't cost extra, but both restoring your dragon and adding items to it will be done only in my spare time.

And no, you don't have an inventory. Not yet, at any rate.

Pending Orders
Cytrine - "Surprise me."
Firelance - "A spear."
Mayumi - camera
Shylight - dreamcatcher pendant
<center>8----The Link Exchange----8</center>

PM me if you're interested in having your shop listed here, or if you're interested in linking the FD 2.0 Headquarters. I require no permission to have this thread linked, however, I'd just like to be notified.

You may use the following banners, or a simple text link if they do not fit your shop requirements.
