Please read the rules carefully. People who ignore the rules, will also be ignored.

1. No PMing please. We have two people working on the shop. If you have a question, we will answer you. Post in the thread.
2. Please don't bug! A Tamashii does take a little while to make. Please do not constantly ask for a Tamashii, or about Tamashiis. Everything you need to know is on this page. If you have a question that isn't answered here, asking is fine, if you absolutely must PM, please PM the shop mule. Not our main accounts.
3. Always Direct link! Your Tama will not be updated if it is not direct-linked. This includes events.
4. No fighting! Fighting will land you on the blacklist.
5. No stealing! Please do not alter or steal any image posted here. The original Tamashii concept was created by -Gabriel- and any new Tamashii are made by us. If any Tamashii is caught being stolen, sold, altered and whatnot we will be forced to use a dreaded blacklist.

Tamashii Summons are spirit pets. They come with a guardian spirit ball, a Hitodama. Each Tamashii is completely customized. It is made with the future owner in consideration. Colors, personality, and certain attributes (like the ears, tail, etc) are all dependant on the type of mask that is created. Tamashii Summons start out as masks. The type of mask is a hint on how your Tama, or Tama, will look when it appears. Within a few days, the masks eyes will open. Within twenty four hours your Tama will appear.

Most people hear about things while visiting exotic places. I learned of Tamashii Summons by visiting some fairgrounds near my home. A gypsy woman was taking a break from telling fortunes and I happened to be staring at a mask vendor across the way. Cheerfully, I bought one of the plain masks that the vendor was selling there. Some were plaster, some were wood. Some had very narrow eyes and others had wide alien looking eyes. The gypsy woman motioned me over and patted a chair for me to sit down in. Curious, I followed her wishes and listened carefully as she told me the legend. Spirits are all around us. In old days, people used masks to capture them and bound the spirit to the mask by fashioning the face to look like the soul's appearance. The woman took out a little bit of paint that that she had near her and began painting my plain white mask in shades of blues and teal. She painted on unique designs in white and told me that within a number of days, something special would happen to the mask. I left her booth very confused with my freshly painted mask as it was still drying. I never bothered to ask the woman why she had paint in the first place.

That night, strange lights appeared around my room, and around the mask which I had hung on the wall. In the morning, I was alarmed when the face of the mask had changed. Its closed eyes had opened and stared somewhat eerily around the room. Still, the mask was cute enough. I visited the fair again. A different woman was there, and I frowned at that. She seemed to know nothing of the masks or the legend. She had a gift for me, however. A fresh set of paints very similiar to the ones the woman had used. The lady said that they were left here after being lost, and pointed to my name being on them. I was very alarmed again.

By the next night, a glowing creature that was somewhat blob-like in shape, but had some odd cat and lion features had appeared wearing my mask. I nearly fell over a chair in my dining room as I discovered it. It seemed to speak telepathically and was actually very kind. It said its name was Enki and since forth, I have decided to share the Tamashiis with others.

Most tama will be available through pre-determined theme sets. We're going to try to make them more accesible. Customs will ONLY be avaiable via auctions or pet trades (see the Pet Trades post for that) Flatsales will be announced at least a day ahead of time, and we'll try our best to do a preview of the masks a few hours before-hand.

Flatsales - when we post GO, please post interest in the thread. It will be open for a set amount of time (10-20 minutes). After the set time is up, we'll make a list of everyone who posted interest, and we'll use a randomizer to determine winners. The first person picked will get first pick, and so on. This is what we feel is the most fair way to do it.

1. No editing of posts.
[not a major problem, with our style of flatsale, but still]
2. No abusing others. we don't care how much you wan a paritcular Tama, being abusive and trying to guilt-trip someone else into not choosing it will only get you into trouble.
3. Please try to only post once in between the "Go" and "Stop" posts - your interest post. This will help me (Ancel) in sorting the list out.
4. You may only post ONE name. Yourself, or a friend.
5. No being a dumbass <.< Play nice.

Q. Can I get a Tamashii, PLEASE?!?!
A. Read the rules.

Q. Do you accept pet trades?
A. Yes, but only with pets that one of us is seeking at the time. They are listed in this thread.

Q. Can I resize my Tamashii and or alter the image?
A. If your Tamashii seems a bit big, while we try to keep them fairly small, we do not mind if you resize the image or (after the Tamashii is an adult) take the Tama out and put in in a picture of all your pets, but please keep the small copyright with the picture. Thank you.

Q. Can I own more than one?
A. Yes! Each person may own three Tamashii, but the catch is that you can only own one of each TYPE. You may own one custom Tamashii (made just for you), one cosplay Tamashii (usually obtained in auctions, raffles or other events), and one flatsale Tamashii.

Q. Can I color for you?
A. Thank you for offering your skills, but I have enough help already.

Q. Can they breed?
A. Of course they can. Breeding is closed at the moment, because the shop didn't had breeding until now, so there are things I need to figure out.

Q. I want to RP my Tamashii! But where?
A. We RP at the this shop. If you'd like a journal, please request one.

Q. How much is a Tamashii?
A. 5k at Flatsales.

Ancel dreams with a:

Cait - DDB
Talaye - BuffyNick
Sneep - Carramaena

I'm only interested on those three pets. Doesn't mean I don't want other pets, but I'm picky. Don't feel bad if I turn your offer down.

Not taking pet trades currently, except for a Hayate from From The Ashes.
