A cute plushie yopu just couldn't resist right? Well, what if you loved it so much ti came to life? That what happens here, with a odd cat-like creature dubbed "plushikats" - a plush which comes to life and grows up. A little bit magical, and a lot of cantankerous cat-a-tude sometimes they're your best friends and sometimes can be your worst enemies whenthey get into your laundry or items! You can't help but love them. whee

Current News
7/03/05 :: Apologies to everyone, I've had all kinds of fun little problems crop up and posting-related issues to the guild that have made continuing the expedition slightly more then difficult, combined with random RL stuff coming down left and right [culminating this past friday with the passing of one fo my grandmothers] which has made thought process a little weird. Also I've been trying to completely revamp the front - in wordpad.

What I'm looking to do is the following for the shop:

** Completely revamp ALL the info regarding Plushikats - more about what they are, origins, abilities, etc.
** Revamp the rest of the shop into a more cohrent format.
** Redo the Plushie stage to have better/thicker lines.
** Tweak the existing lineart since I really don't like the current child/adult and could try to smooth it out better.
** New species of Plushikat - different wing types.
** A certain plot point in the Expedition's art. [[Which was/is giving me fits.]] This fits into future stuff as well.
** A few key kats we'll be seeing in the plot.
** Some other assorted details, including the possible hiring of a few more colorists, even if part time or random sendings.

Plushikats was my first solo flight as a shop, and it shows painfully compared to some of my more recent endevours. Granted, I took this up on a whim without a full direction and it's come together at last, and I need to actually rip apart all this and make it work. I really want to redo the adults into something better, add new types, etc.

I will continue the Expedition through all this -- if I can finally get that post through. *kicks Verizon* I've had crappy net which has made posting difficult lately, and my infinite wisdom prevents me from copying 90% of my posts before I lose them. I'm too trusting I think in that regard. *behind on other journals too*

I also put a temp pause on the Expedition because a lot of people were MIA and was waiting to see fi I would recieve further replies. Apologies to thsoe who were still waiting.

Here's to a better future! heart I expect to re-redo the graphics again, keep the current certs with a minor change, and try to revitalize all my information and kick the expedition back in gear.

I'd really like to do a sale soon as well if I can get the plot up to that point. ninja Colorists: I need you to PM Plushikats in regards to what you want to do. Continue, quit, guest, etc. - Those who want to stay, I will get the new plushie linearts out ASAP. I may be sending PMs out as well so I can get a cohesive collection of information. @_@ Because I LOST my damn notes somewhere. *pissed* I had all my jewelkat stuff, etc. and it's gone. Far as I can tell anyway. Might have been saved elsewhere, but it's nowhere in sight... don't think someoen else got it, but mrf.

*needs to set up a plushikat e-mail box as well*

I'm really hoping to kick this shop back in gear - I love this shop and adore it, and it really deserves better. I'm trying, it's just been hard to get what I want out regarding this - seems when I get aspirations, someoen dumps ice water on me. Keep positive and let's kick butt. See you in the guild!

~FAQ~
Revised: Apr. 03th 2005

*Are these an RP pet?
RP is not *ncessary*, however, it gives me warm fuzzies. Also makes me inclined to grow your pet faster. I may make it RP mandatory to reach the adult stage - after all the kid IS at least cute. blaugh I'm still debating on this change or not.

*How fast will they grow?
It can vary depending on many things, including Mintaka. The plushie stage lasts 1-2 weeks (generally less, not more) and they will remain a child at least a month in order to grow and develop. After this point, they will grow into an adult. (Adult timing at Mintaka's discretion - those who are far more active may have a faster growth rate because they are developing.)

*How much do they cost?
- 2,000 gold for flatsale. When comissions are open, it will be 4,000 gold. Special ones may be more expensive due to rarity or other factors.

*But that's expensive!
- Remember, it takes time to make these. I/We deserve compensation for the work, after all, and I/we strive to do their best to make sure each plushie turns out to be something wonderful, and every commission fits the order.

Story
How the Plsuhikats came to be is largely unknown. Mintaka first quired them by chance from a stranger who sold them to her - a certain select amount of plushies that were simply cute. Little did she know they'd come to life!

Since the day Liarenne and others came to life, Mintaka has been trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding the kats. She nver did find the man who sold them to ehr again, so she's pretty much been having to divine the answer sthrugh other means; and succeeded to a degree. She found the homeworld but...

Things were amiss. As far as it's known, somehow, some way the kats reverted into plushies because of some major event back then! However, Mintaka's hesitent to go into the world alone, but doesn't want to risk others. However... the trip will happen. And maybe then we'll really know why the kats exist.


<center>Physiology

[imgstages]</center>

Size: The plushie is roughly one foot tall. A child is about the same size when sitting. Adults are about two and a half feet in length standing, not counting their tails. This isn't true for ALL but it's a rough guideline. Plushikats end up bigger then housecats, basically, by their adulthood.

Speech: Plushikats can both make cat-like noises and mind-speak to anyone as children freely, although they need to be taught certain things. They seem to have a basic grasp upon de-plushing for certain basic needs and a basic set of vocabulary. (This will be explained in story/RP at some point...) It is unknown if becoming an adult allows anything more, however, Liareene seems to be trying to speak words anyway. More on that if something comes of it.

Wings: Plushikat wings are much like faery wings except not translucent - with one exception: adult male wings transform into feathery wings. They aren't delicate however; plushikat wings can withstand quite a bit, as they are cats at heart and get into tumbles and fights.

Flight: Children and Adults are both capable of flight, even if their wings do not look capable of supporting them; they are magical creatures after all. Flight is not quite inherent, but if a situation arises to force the kat into needing to fly, they can quickly adapt by instinct. And yes, plushikats almost ALWAYS land on their feet.

Magic: Plushikats are magical creatures, but their powers will not show until adulthood or just before so. Some special kats seem more strongly linked however, and may be capable as children of minor feats. However, as adults their powers will always manifest. These can range from element-based magics to various minor creation powers to illusions or other things. Regular Plushikats do not possess very strong magic; even specials are not capable of moving mountains. (Basic power to be determined by owner - please be sensible and non-god-midding about it. Mintaka reserves the right to 'give' a kat a new power. Specials noted to eb linked to an element/something may perform minor feats as children as well... and when they go adult, their power will be stronger then regulars.)

Flatsales: Regular - 2k

Flatsale: Closed! Congrats to new owners!</center>
<center>User Image</center>

Customs: 4k regular, starts from plushie.

01. Closed.

I only accept 1 custom at a time due to the nature of working on them. However, if you really want one, and the slot is not open or taken, for 10k I may consider taking one.

And no, customs don't mean you can get lineart edits/extra items. It just menas you choose the color. I suppose if I were bribed badly enough I could consider special editing, but since that takes more time and effort, obviously it's going to be a very steep bribe. eek

On the other hand, nice people and otherwise those I deem worthy might get consideration more. ninja Play by the rules, you'll get rewarded. When the slot actually opens I'll include a form - and all requests will need to be sent to this account - Plushikats.

Pet Trades

I may or may not accept a trade, it depends on what I'm being offered. I currently don't have a list of desires at the moment offhand. All requests MUST be sent to this account, and I reserve the right to turn down a trade.

Stardust :: For a normal custom Stardust from FelineOddity I will offer the Light Element plushikat (or a regular custom) in desired yellow & black colors.

[ X ] :: Expedition has Started!
[ X ] :: Expedition of Homeworld Signup Thread! Owners and non-owners both welcome!

<center>[shop map coming soon]</center>

Just as a note, the owners and pets do exist together here; although one does not need the other to be around [that is, the kats can be alone here]. This is just so people know they're welcome to post as themselves.

RP takes place normally here in the shop. It's fun, lighthearted often but can have some more serious things. Plot RP threads will always be in the guild. Some plot stuff that happens in shop will happen in this thread. You are allowed to make journal threads for your kats in the Guild. If you have an idea for an RP thread please PM Plushikats with it and I will review it.

[ X ] :: Plushikat Guild

<center>[[ Roleplay Rules ]]</center>

01. IC and OOC are seperate entities! What happens ICly is NOT OOC. If person A attacks/hates person B IC... it does NOT mean that's true OOC. Don't hate someone IC because you hate them OOC, either. Keep them seperate... I don't want problems regarding this, and this is a pet peeve of mine. If I see problems between people resulting from IC/OOC blurring or OOC/IC reasons to go after someone [as in, "OMG they did this too me IC *attacks with insults OOC*"] I will grey or black list you. Don't make me go this far.

02. Please keep OOC in brackets in any IC thread. Brackets can be (( )), [[ ]], or {{ }}... I don't think there's another really effective means to that end. If it's an OOC thread like the General Chatter, you don't need brackets and everything within that thread is considered OOC and does not count towards RP. Try not to get too "ICly OOC" with the Plsuhikats in those types of threads so we don't get confused. wink

03. No God mode. The only person allowed to god mode is... me! And I won't aside being GM of course... so I do get rights to god mode people for plot purposes, but I will always talk beforehand. You can plan thigns of course which might play out a little like godmodding, and that's okay, but if anyone feels uncomfortable with someoen regarding another's actions, let me know. Basically: don't control other people's characters without permission.

More later as needed.
