Welcome to Gaia! ::

Moonchilde corrects Mintaka's initial information:
"While the appearahnce-based differentiations are apt and useabe as demonic and regular, I felt it's itme to correct the small misunderstandings of them. The demonics are in truth "wild" actually - ones untouched by the hands of my people for the most part, and how the mice were once. Thus why they are generally more powerful, and more rugged-looking. Their penchance for evil, malice-like things and problems is due to their more untamed nature, although granted they DO have a natural tendency anyway to cause harm and mischief. Not all are evil, a lot are simply misguided. Note they are not so wild as to be malicious to their keeper - the bond of raising them brings a sense of loyalty and attunement to that person. A properly raised wild/demonic will not be harmful to anyone.

The regulars, or domestics, are those which have been bred and rasied by us, tamed down and made calm and more placate then their wilder, 'demonic' cousins. They are far more friendly and playful, though weaker due to the breeding for plesant traits. Even the domestics have their bad sides as much as wilds have good.

We shall keep the references fo regular and demonic, however this explains the true differences - their origins at any rate. I hope soon to decypher more into how they are, and more proper care procedures in this world. The differences from Tachytron to here are astounding and the technologies widely varied. You'll find my notes appearing much like this later on around as well."

Some common traits between both types are:

Diet: E-mice subsist on metal parts and electricity. Don't let them chew on power cords or they'll short the appliance! They may occasionally nibble on metals, so keep your jewelry safe from youngins. They prefer electricity over metal, but both will do.
Activity Cycle: E-mice are active any time of day or night, often in sync with their owners. They don't aprticularly need sleep unelss they're low on electricity/metal intake, in which case they rest to recharge their internal batteries.
Love: E-mice, although gendered, do not specifically require opposite genders to procreate. Technoenergies between 2 E-mcie will combine to create offspring, hence generally there are limits as to how many times one can breed. While they do not have to amte for life, mating for life generally ensures more children, and also creates a special bond between two mice that allow them to eb ore sensitive towards the needs and problems of the other. This is a treasured thing.
Markings: The markings on an E-mouse - not colors, but the different shaped marks on the arms, legs, and sides - exist for a reason. I have finally discovered their purpose, which was not obvious in our home world of Tachytron. They absorb ambient energies from light and air around them - a back-up source when they cannot find metal to digest into energy, or direct eletrical supplies. In Tachytron there was energy freely available and it was not obvious they were absorbing it through there... here, it is. They can absorb static electricity and solar energy for certain and other types of energy possibly too!

Males:
Regular: Tend to be more physical, usually taking on tasks which require activity. Protective and defensive, they will likely protect the mate and kdis in a situation.
Demonic: Tend to eb more intellectual, cunngin and thoughtful creatures. Although stronger thenr egulars, they don't take on tasks unless it suits them.

Females:
Regular: Tend to be intellectual and prefer to nuture and care, and study, more then do physical tasks.
Demonic: Tend to eb more physical, agressive, although will have a maternal instinct for children. Possessive and defensive, and willing to back that with force.


During the 'egg' stage, the consciousness of the mouse is developing and interactions with people help the bond grow. These are in fact alive, but unable to do much aside 'observe', hear, and feel what touches them. This is an important phase of life, and they spend roughyl a week in this form before they go on to the next stage.



As children, they are now capable of thought and movement, and are learning how to communicate. Early in childhood they will often gesture and make noise but will quickly learn how to speak. They will devour any information they can get through any means - by reading, being tld, seeing pictures, etc. - they love to learn! Males tend to be more physical, females intellectual although during this phase they may try other things. They spend about 2 weeks in this phase.



As adults they settle into their roles, and in the wild would form small communities. Under the care of humans this is not needed, although they will still interact with each other for needs sometimes, and for friendship. Adults havea wide range of eprsonalities and habits and still seek further knowledge. They are curious still, even as adults, but have a high intellect as well and a certain finesse with fussy electronics too.



Although roughly the same size as a regular's egg, demonic eggs look diffferent enough to make distinguishing them easier. They're also often warmer to the touch, but not uncomfortably so. They'll spend roughly a week like this learning about their surroundings and such as regulars do.



As children, demonics are much the opposites of regulars in their aspects and behaviors, aside their thirst for knowledge. The females will often get into mischeif phsyically while males may pull pranks with tricky thought to them. They are slightly larger then regular children, although nto always malicious. They have a certain oblivious innocence to them at first which grows into planned harmfulness. Still, they will not go so far as to cause death or permanent injury unless their life is threatened.



Now adults, they are fully grown into their place, and often more mischevious and devilish then they wre as kids. The males will often have snide commentary and mindgames to pull on others while females will likely torment physically. They are larger then regulars but not overly so. They are more likely in a fit of rage to destroy something, but usually keep a level head enough not to unless hurt, trapped, or threatened majorly - they know when too much si too much and like to stay out of trouble while pushing the envelope.



Please note that for children and adults, it's while sitting to the tops of their heads, sans ear-fins. It's also a rough guide to length when they lay/walk on all fours.

Regulars
Egg: 5-6"
Child: 1-2'
Adult: 2.5-3'

Demonics
Egg: 5-6"
Child: 1.5-2.5'
Adult: 3.5-4'

Generally the females are slightly larger then males in both types, but there's no real difference for that anyway. They're both roughly the same in all aspects, aside the fact one gender tends to be more physical and thus, often slightly stronger.

You must state which you are going for, and you may only enter once.

A personal favorite of mine for random fun, this is a little tricky sometimes to understand for the first time, but incredibly fun. These will be judged by Mintaka however she feels. She will present you with a set of letters, and you must build a sentence out of it. Example:

B A M W G

Big aarvarks make wild giggles.

You may not rearrange the letters, or make more then one sentence. Sometimes the letters presented will be a word - you may not reuse that word in the sentence. You may only enter once, and only for yourself - and state which you want.

Growing Related Items

A trade for 100g per chip purchased should be sent to Mintaka with the number of the mouse in question in the trade title, as well as a thread request. This chip will stop the growth of a child E-mice and will keep the mouse in a permanent childhood until removed. To have it removed, simply follow the same procedure as before with a title of remove and thread request. Once the chip is removed, the mouse will immediately grow. Remember, only adults can breed.

None!
