9/8/9-
Hey guys! Got a couple of small but important announcements for you!

First, it is worth stating in the thread that the RP-requirements or Jumi have essentially been removed. While some measure of activity is still needed for growth, your Jumi will never be taken from you. We repeat: YOUR JUMI WILL NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY.

There are two exceptions to this rule. If you ask us to rehome your Jumi, either directly or through a "will" of some kind, we will comply with your wishes. In addition, if you have a character who's plot-significant and you don't participate, we may repossess your Jumi. People with plot-significant characters probably know who they are, and it's unlikely anyone reading this has to worry about it. For the most part, if you have a Jumi now, that Jumi is yours to keep unless you say otherwise.

Leapfrogging off of this, you may notice that the owner's list has been rearranged slightly. While active and NPC Jumi are still listed by Strata, there is now a section for inactive Jumi. Anyone who hasn't posted in the thread recently has been put down there automatically. We've also taken the liberty of PMing everyone juuust to let you know the shop's back in motion. If you haven't gotten a PM, that means that we've seen you in the thread recently! If your Jumi is listed as being inactive but you want to be active, just PM Lady Blackpearl and we'll switch you over.

For the active kids, as you may have noticed, we're starting to get to work on growths again. To do this, we need to know if you think your Jumi is ready for a growth- or if you specifically DON'T want them to grow yet! Feel free to just post with what you think, or if you'd rather discuss something in private, send us a PM.

Lastly, expect a plot update sometime soon. Rather than be specific and miss the date (how many times did that happen last time?) we're just going to advise people to keep on their toes. ninja

- Etansel Staff

P.S. If you have any comments, questions, or advice for us (a sort of "How's my Driving?" thing), always feel free to post it here, or send a PM to Lady Blackpearl. Your input means everything to us! heart

Etansel
User Image

The Jumi are a very old, fragile race, living in the Bejewled City (Etansel). The source of their life is a gemstone core which rests in their chest. If the core is scratched, they are hurt, if it is cracked, they can be seriously hurt. And if the core is removed from the Jumi's body altogether, they can die. While beautiful, these cores have caused a lot of trouble for the Jumi of the past.Other races viewed them as rich jewels and hunted the Jumi for years. As a result, thousands of ancient Jumi perished.

The only way to revive a Jumi would be with a teardrop crystal which is made when a Jumi cries. The leader of the Jumi is called the Clarius. She is to support the whole race, for 100 years, at the cost of her own life, if needed.

Each Jumi is either a Knight or a Guardian. Each Knight is to have a Guardian to protect. The Guardian is more important than the Knight, though, as she is to heal him. All Guardians are female, while knights can be either gender. Because of this, there is always an abundance of females.

The Jumi are grouped into different Strata. Going from weakest (bottom) to strongest (top) would be: Stratum of the Clods, Stratum of the Half-Lucidia, Stratum of the Lucidia, and Stratum of the Clarius. There can only be one Knight and one Guardian in the Strata of the Clarius at a time, and the Guardian is The Clarius. Most Jumi start on the Strata of the Clods and only make their way up by certain deeds or quests.

It is said that humans are not to cry for the Jumi...why would this be?

Growth

A Jumi is "born" from a gemstone core. After a while, this core will be taken to the Clarius to be revived into human form. A quest is given to the caretaker of the core and a ceremony is performed so that Jumi is now a child. This child is neither a knight or guardian just yet. Once they become teens, it is possible for them to find a guardian/knight. Before they can find their partner, they must go through a test..
A guardian (predetermined from personality sometime in the teen stage) is to turn herself to stone and the knight (also predetermined) must find the keys to her heart. If he/she succeeds, they are paired and the guardian is awakened. The keys to the guardian's heart are sort of like shards of personality.
Once this test is over, both the knight and guardian grow to adults and do not die unless their core is removed. If the core is still in safe hands, it can be revived once more, but this would cause the Jumi to go through the stages all over again, losing all memory of the past.

Once partnered, Jumi's cores are mature enough for "breeding", but this is only possible with their partner...

Elemental Spirits

These are magical beings representative of the elements that make up the world. In the World History, the Elementals are descended from the Mana Goddess, the embodiment of the creative and destructive forces of Mana, each being born from the light which formed the respective elements of Fa'Diel, the world of Mana.

://1 Roleplaying is not required. We will provide you with a journal so that you may flesh out your Jumi's story, but we aren't going to force you to do it. Your Jumi will grow faster and you will get rewards if you DO roleplay, however. We would love for everyone to participate in RP, but we know that's not always possible.

://2 Do not, and I repeat, DO NOT take any of the artwork shown in here.
All of the artwork in here is copyrighted to their respected owners.
So. Don't sell them for money, gold, and/or display them on the net (unless you're the owner, of course.).
Or. You'll be given the beating of your life. D<

://3 Keep the posts to a PG-13 level.
Keep your swearing to a moderate level, and avoid using and offensive terms.
..No porn.
We want everyone treated nicely in here.

://4 Be considerate.
Don't PM/IM us endlessly with questions already answered in the FAQ.
It will only earn you a nice big spot on the thread's graylist.

://5 Be nice.
Try not to flame the people which post questions. Unless they repeatedly ask the same question, which has already been answered about 10 times. Also, please don't go grammar/spelling nazi on anyone in this thread, English might not be their first language.

Q. What's a Jumi? A. Look up at post 2, the info post, to find info about what a Jumi is. whee

Q. Where are these from? A. A Playstation game called The Legend of Mana.

Q. OMGWTFBBQIWANTONE!!!1 A. sweatdrop Wait for a flatsale, auction, event, or even raffle.

Q. Do you do pet trades? A. Yes, I will do pet trades. Look down to the sales post to see what pets interest the other artists and me.

Q. Are these roleplay intense pets? A. Only if you want them to be! We realize people have lives and can't always commit to a huge plot. The only differences if you don't roleplay are: your Jumi grows a lot slower and you cannot breed.
If you DO want to roleplay, please do! Jumi will grow faster and get rewards if you do!

Q. Will you take my Jumi away if I don't roleplay? A. We try not to. If we absolutely have to, we will contact you through PM and discuss it there.

Q. What if I don't want my Jumi anymore/want to give it away/etc? A. Send us a PM and let us know what's going on!

Q. How are Gaia and Etansel/Fa'Diel linked? A. There's a tree in East Barton that is connected to the Mana tree and has the ability to transport people from Gaia to Fa'Diel. It looks mostly like a normal tree, despite it's size. (It's fairly large compaired to other trees.)
The way transportation via the tree works is still a mystery, however it has become clear that the tree can choose who it wants to send to Fa'Diel.

Q. I have a question that isn't listed here. A. Just post in the thread or PM us, and we'll post it up and reply to you. heart

Custom Jumis will be either be available through auctions or pet trades. There is however a straightfoward option if you really wish for a custom Jumi and don't wish to wait for an auction or do a pet trade.
Rena will create a custom Jumi for you for a fee of 100k
Why such a steep price?
Well, she spends a good amount of time working on perfecting the lineart of the Jumi so that each and every one looks pleasing to the eye. She also does all the coloring.

So if you really want a custom Jumi, PM us with the following form and send the exchange. The exchange will not be confirmed until the core form of the Jumi is finished.
