The season sprites are small creatures formed with magical energy. They embody elemental magic that is found within nature. Each one is related to a particular type, and helps change the seasons and weather in kind.

Each season, new sprites appear to carry it out over the months.
Here, you can get your very own Wethkin to join you all year long :3

Some Wethkin sprites may never reach their full adult forms without your help (light RPing). Teach and interact with your Wethkin in the nymphchild stage to encourage it to grow into a crysalis. If you are patient, it will grow until it is reborn in an adult form, possibly with some effects that result from your RPing in the child stage :3

Good and bad, Wethkins are gender neutral as they are made up of energy. Breeding is a special process in which the sprites join their magics together to form new sprites. As such, 2 to 3 sprites may chose to mate at a time. RP is required to attempt a 3 partnership :3

My Egg -stage lasts 5-10 days- :
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

- about the size of a gumball, the egg must be protected from predators and accidents. In this stage they are sensitive to changes in temperature and weather, therefore be sure to always keep an eye on your egg for its safety. When the weather's right your egg will hatch into the next stage :3

My Larvapuff -stage lasts 1-2 months- :
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

- the puff staged Wethkin is about the size of a ping-pong ball. They can emit small amounts of magic of their weather type, and most can also float or hover about (though not all can at this stage). Some may talk in short sentences, but they usually babble nonsense. Their tolerance to temperature is much better now so warmth should not adversly affect a winter Wethkin (however, fire is another subject...) X3

There are two main ways to get a Wethkin. When they are availiable, it will be in the title of the thread and listed in the Avaliability section (one post down).

A Flat sale is when a wethkin egg is sold for a flat price with no haggling. The flat sale price is 10k (donation letters accepted at 4k value for current month - donation items @ mid. GEN).

To get a flatsale egg when a sale is occuring, you must show you have read the front page and can answer a question or two. Since RP is a part of this shop, a situation to RP will also be given to all interested in getting an egg. There will be a period of 3 days in which you can enter a sale form (that's right, only ONE per person please!). The form changes a bit from sale to sale. After that 3 days, I will go through and read all the entries and pick the best to sell Wethkin to. If we find you have gone and edited your sale form in the RP entry (spelling and grammar is ok, content is not, getting someone else to enter RP for you is not ok), yours WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Please proof-read before submitting.

The next way to get a Wethkin is by auction. Auctions are typically for special and rare Wethkin only. Examples would be twins, or rare & uncommon weather types ie. rainbow. Auctions are also announced well ahead of time and in the Availiability section and Updates (first post). Rules will be posted in the auction thread at the time of the auction.

A third way is not avaliable at this time. The option of getting a Gen.2 egg (from breeding of Gen.1 parents). This option includes flat sales, auctions and perhaps even raffles blaugh

Sample Form

-Sale Form-
Your name:
The date:
Why you want a Wethkin:
What type for this season are you interested in most and why:

Situation - Chose One (you may pretend you already have a wethkin if you wish, it is not necessary to include them):

TBA

Your Responce to the situation (in formal style RP please, the longer is better :3 ):

</center>

Please, please read them before posting~!

Rules

- Read all the info. before posting a question. Please don't PM me questions either cause answering them in the thread helps everyone :3

- Be polite. No one likes to deal with rude customers sweatdrop That means no PMing, begging, harassing anyone or otherwise being difficult :/ There is no reserving. Don't ask.

- Don't PM me unnecessarily. If it can be answered on the thread, save it for the thread.

- Pay attention. If the post says none availiable, no pets are there~! This goes for other front page updates as well.

- Send your trade promptly. If you do get a chance to purchase a Wethkin, please send the trade within 48 hours (2 days) of me notifying you. If not someone else more interested may get it instead.

- Only one Wethkin egg per customer, until yours grows to a child. At that time you are allowed a max. of 3 Wethkins at a time (only 1 from a flat sale though). If you wish to/must give up gonk your Wethkin, contact me and it shall be raffled through the shop (sorry, but no gold or item refund - you can have 15% from the raffle ticket sale).

- Please save the images to your own hard drive once your Wethkin is an adult and owners must host their adult Wethkin on their own servers. If this is not possible, tell me so and I will give you a list of free image hosting sites.

- If you break the rules, I do have the right to take your Wethkin and give it to someone else.

- Don't bid if you can't afford. This pretty much deals with only auctions but please, don't bid if you can't pay. It makes things confuzzling and everyone annoyed at you.

- Don't steal art or concepts. domokun Respect others creations. These are not free for you to take, copy/paste or alter in anyway without my persmission, art or story. If you are found stealing or altering artwork, you shall be reported to the a Moderator, Gaian Blacklist, and banned from the shop. Quoting and paraphrasing text is fine as long as you give credit to the original author. Similarities within my story to other stories, are purely coincidental and no characters are based on real people, living or dead.

- Involve yourself. Please feel free to talk to other owners in this thread :3 a separate RP may be set up in a guild the future, but until then discuss your Wethkins in here or in your RP Notebook :3

- Have fun~! That's the point of course 3nodding

There seem to be no more eggs in stock.

Flat Sales & Auctions

next Flat Sale: January (3 eggs)

next Auction: January

</center>

Q: Can I be on the mailing list?
A: Of course :3 just post in the thread that you would like to be added to it and send a Friend request to the Wethkin-chan account.

Q: Do we have to RP?
A: No you do not, but your Wethkin will not form a crysalis and grow into an adult. If you are happy with your Wethkin nymphchild then that should be fine for you :3 It's not like you need to RP a lot; two good paragraphs a month would be fine.

Q: How many Wethkin are in the first flatsale? (which is now over)
A: There will be 6, and of the 6 there will be 6 weather types for the Winter (and Fall) season mixed :3 There will be 3 auctions (2 left now) for Winter as well depending on how things go.

Q: What's going on with the Fall Wethkin? I wants one... gonk (none till 2005 Fall)
A: Ok, since people are asking, 4 will be availiable before Christmas in a Flat Sale heart

Q: Ok, we know how the baby stages look but what about the children?
A: All the children look different! They each have their own lineart and personalities :3 their upper bodies are chibi and their lower body is made up of a ball of energy reflecting their weather type :3

Q: So what about the higher stages?
A: All of them will look different as adults too. They each have their own lineart and personalities and look reflecting your RPing of the character :3 The crysalis stage will have close similarities if the Wethkin are of the same weather type.

Q: Can you reserve one for me?
A: No - it's unfair to everyone else who is interested domokun

Q: Can we do a pet trade?
A: Sorry no. I don't have any done yet (the store isn't open yet) domokun and I can't afford to give away a 5 stage pet (so much work) if the equivalent isn't traded to me. It's not fair to others either, who took the time to save up.

Ok, owners that would like a Notebook ~ They are for your private RP (like Diary entries). It's also a place to put up all the pictures you have of your wethkin (like all the stages so far) and the story of how you got your egg. It's a totally optional thing to do, but I really enjoy reading them :3

Also, I check them on a regular basis. If I like your latest RPing, you may receive a little art gift for your efforts :3

They cost 1,000gold and include:

- 14 title banners of your choice (pick 2 colours and pick what the titles say and pick font)

- if you want less banners then take off 50gold for each one you remove

- also includes the first post made by me describing how you received your egg (you can help me make that up too if you want) :3 it's just a short summary (like Chayse's, not the full story)

If you want to do your own banners then a Notebook is just 300gold for the first set up post.

Good and bad, Wethkins are gender neutral as they are made up of energy. Breeding is a special process in which the sprites join their magics together to form new sprites. As such, 2 to 3 sprites may chose to mate at a time. RP is required to attempt a 3 partnership :3

RP is also recommended for a 2 partnership (who would let perfect strangers to do that? gonk ) but is not as involved since it's easier for 2 sprites to get along together.

A partnership can produce (randomly) 1-3 young for a 2/pair or 1-5 young for a 3/trio, with a slim chance of identical twins (2 larvapuffs from same egg). Gender-look has a 50/50 ratio on average.

Eggs can be sold by the parents through this shop by a flat price of 10k each with 15% of the total egg sale going to each parent. Eggs can be auctioned here as well, but the cap is 25k (unless the egg is special, cap is then 50k ie. mixed type egg or indentical twin egg). 20% of the total egg sale goes to the parents by auction.

It costs 5,000 gold from each owner involved to breed your 2/pair and the same for a 3/trio.

Rules:

- both/all 3 owners must agree to breed their Wethkin

- Wethkin must be in final adult stage and have met each other at least once

- All Wethkin types and gender-looks are compatible (dominate type usually more common in young ie. leaf over fog, rather then mixed types <special> wink unless they are within 1 degree of ralation to one another (eg. parent/child is no)

- Wethkin can only breed twice max. in a season (3 months in a season) and that's only if the breeding list has room for a second try (everyone needs a chance X3)

- If owners wish to keep an egg (1 each max. per breeding) a contract must be written about what happens if there is less then 2-3 eggs

- If only one owner wants to keep an egg, they will not get gold from the other owner's egg sale (unless they decide to share it)

- All owners must pay breeding fee before eggs are produced

- Eggs can be given away but only through a raffle in through this shop ie. no favouratism

- All auctions/flat sales must be through this shop (otherwise no eggs will hatch)

- All owners & their Wethkin will be listed in order of turn below

- Only 3 breeding slots will be open at a time (so many babies to create gonk )

Current Slots

1. N/A

2. N/A

3. N/A

***No adults yet~!
