 Dogs possessed, these creatures often turn night-black and grow to disturbing proportions. Their eyes reflect the flames that wait beyond, and spit sizzles on their massive fangs. Shadows seem to thicken in their presence. Some Infernalists cultivate entire demonhound packs, feeding them on serfs, enemies, and careless travelers. Others have them guard worship sites or private chambers. No matter how it may appear, however, no human actually commands a demonhound; the spirit inside only bid their time, awaiting a signal from their true infernal masters...
--*--
Welcome. The above excerpt was borrowed from the Vampire: Dark Ages book by White Wolf Game Studio. The pet will be loosely based off the Demonhounds from the Dark Ages in background. However, in personality and plot, they may be nothing like the Demonhounds you might have come to know in the storytelling game.
Here, Demonhounds are demonic beasts sent from Hell to cause havoc in the world. However, they enter the world as pups which means they are found by humans and depending on the love they receive and how they are played, they may evolve to become normal pets, perhaps angelic pets, and in some cases, if their true demonic forms are brought out, they will become demonic pets. It''s all in how you treat your pet.

August 30 05 :: Well, August was a lot of unexpected events, and more computer issues. >.< Trying to wade through and such, so apologies for the slowness... a wave of apathetic blehness of depression hasn't helped. A lot fo random thgins happening. Shall continue my vigilence. RP thread should be working in the guild.
August 01 05 :: Min's computer went boom for awhile, at least in the coloring regard, and she was sulking and skulking around a lot. But a new HD later and she's reinvigorated. No date set just eyt for the next flat, after those growings are completed, though, and taking care of past-tense business. Stay tuned! Oh, and yes, the mule got renamed. wink Will fix refs later.
July 19 05 :: Growings for the flatsale, spotting out when would be a good next flatsale date, working... plotting out final Guild details, and otherwise rolling around randomly. July is a month of chaos and havok it seems, and I'm a bit scattered overall with everything between my computer having flaked, my connection being somewhat iffy about loading Gaia at times, and otherwise bad news all around. Still, there's some good and I'm pulling through. Just keep swimming. X3
July 05 05 :: Teckno is on a hiatus, and has left the shop to me (Mintaka) to take care of. In keeping with the spirit of Meeki's work, much of what was there is being directly brought over. If/when Teckno returns, he is quite welcome back. whee In the meantime, the first priority will be growings of existing DemonHounds, but a flatsale will occur soon as well. Those who require growings, please post in the thread.
New Graphics, etc. or the old ones will be here soon! More to come! Any questions may be directed by PM to this account [not Mintaka] and will be handled. Thanks!:: Rules ::General Rules

[Infant]: The infant stage is usually when you'll first receive your pet. They are shy but curious and cannot speak. They try to make their point across with movements. At this point, they are all innocent and pure.
[Child]: The children stage is when personality starts coming in. You can have your child nice, mean, sarcastic, rude, friendly, whatever you choose. Children can speak well and often disregards rules.
[Teen]: The teen stage is where your demonhound starts realizing what he is. They realize that they are powerful and important creatures with the purpose to bring misery to the world. Depending on the hounds previous personality, this can cause personal conflict. At the teen stages, the hounds start noticing the opposite sex and forming relationships. They cannot breed though, until they reach adulthood.
[Adult]: The adult stage is the final evolution for most DemonHounds. They have achieved their ultimate power and have made a decision about themselves and their duty. Some may choose to walk the path of evil, some may choose to walk the path of good, and some may choose to stay neutral. The good demonhounds and the evil demonhounds will naturally dislike one another so this can generate some fun drama. Adulthood is also when your demonhound can mate and breed.
Races
[Regular]: The regular Demonkin are posted above. They can be both good or evil and have a range of many personalities. They are strong and very fast on land. They can also manipulate fire and have fire magic.
[Angelic]: Some males females that have shown a truely pure heart may find themselves evolved to a higher evolution, the angel demonhound. Though they can never shake off the demonhound race name, they do prove that there's nothing demonic about them. They can fly and gain water magic. This stage is gender neutral so same lineart is used for both.
[Demonic]: Some males and females that have shown a truely evil heart may find themselves evolved to a higher evolution as well, the grand demonhound. They gain demonic wings and horns, are able to fly and gain lightning magic. Both higher evolutions are very rare. This stage is gender neutral so same lineart is used for both.
[Halfbreeds]: Halfbreeds are very rare. They can only be produced when a Demonic and Angelic Demonhound are bred together. Some may be auctioned on the side but for the most part, they will remain rare. This stage is gender neutral so same lineart is used for both. Please note that if an angel or demon breed with a regular, the babies do come out as regular. Both Angelic and Demonic rare blood is needed for the Halfbreeds.

[img-familiar] Familiars
There are two sets of familiars. The following two are free. That means that one of them, (it's random) will come with your demonhound pet. A familiar will grant the pet an extra ability of some sort.
[Parrotah]: The Parrotah will grant the demonhound vision of the skies. This means that the hound will be able to see what the Parrotah sees as if he/she is flying with her, even though the hound will really be on the ground. They make good hunting partners as well.
[Usagiita]: The Usagiita has the ability to burrow underground and spy on enemies. The rabbit familiar is also good at reaching hard to get to locations and has a knack for disarming possible hunter traps and the like. They are basically little rogues.
The two other familiars, listed below, are only available if purchased extra or a custom Demonhound is purchased which automatically comes with the choice of any one of the four familiars. The Foxx familiar will cost 3k and the Kitteh familiar will cost 5k, the are pricey in hopes to keep them rarer.
[Foxx]: These familiars allow the demonhound to run twice as swiftly, making them near impossible to catch by the regular demonhounds. They are also very keen and alert, able to see in the night as well.
[Kitteh]: The familiars known as Kitteh allow the demonhound the ability to fly for a limited time. This ability can come in handy during tricky situations. They are also wonderful fishers as well as hunters. They are the most loyal of the familiars.

Teens: 4k
Adults: 3k

Yes, she did, she created all the original information, and hired Teckno and [ Charrys ] to help color the demonhounds for the shop.
02. Didn't Teckno and [ Cherrys ] own it then?
Yes. Meeki gave the shop to them as co-owners some time around March.
03. Then how the hell did Mintaka get the shop?!
I was talking to teckno one day and mentioned the DemonHounds since I still wanted to get one after losing the thread before... the co-owner had life issues, and had a backlog of work to take care of regarding those growings, etc. I offered to help, which in turn resulted in me becoming a co-owner of a fashion. We started a breeding colorist hunt, and the shop went on a small hiatus. Some interest was remaining, etc. and I asked Teckno what was up since it'd been awhile. He then handed the shop voer me to take care of. I've told him whenever he desires comes back it's open to him to return to. <3
04. Oh, okay. can I have one?
Sure - check for flatsales, custom availability, etc. Don't harass owners, and don't beg. And no, no freebies. I don't do freebies for random strangers anyway, and I tend only to consider it for a close friend only. Patience will net you a flatsale, or some other means to aquire one.
05. Mine was colored by ___ and isn't an adult. What should I do?!
I'm currently handling all growings. Please state where your pup came from [flatsale, breeding] and if it was a breeding, if you could share the parents as well, it'd be wonderful. In all cases I need to see the cert. If you've LOST it.... we'll negotiate. If I can confirm the existence, we'll do something. I don't want people tricking me however with this clause for a freebie. stare
06. Oh, oh, I have something not here I want to ask!! What should I do?
Please ask in the thread - Mintaka will get to you as soon as possible. If you're really that scared, PM DemonHounds (or post in thread), and Min will get to you as soon as she can.
07. How long will it take for ___ to get done?
As long as it takes me; I do, much to some annoyance at times, have a life, and that has to come first. And I am forgetful, although I'm working on means to remind me every day what I need to do, time still can be an issue. But I will try to get to things as promptly as possible, but a soft reminder poke every 2 weeks to a month never hurts. Just don't badger me every day - I'll take longer if you do. stare It's rude.

While DemonHounds do not necessarily mate for life, they can have multiple litters with the same other DemonHound multiple times. DemonHound pairings must be of opposite genders to reproduce - same-sex simply cannot have babies on their own.
They do require at least one month after having pups before they may have another litter. They generally prefer that thier last litter is adults before they consider more children however, and a pairing will result in two children of random gender.
Please note Halfbreed children will not show their traits until adulthood!
More information and all breeding requests should be posted here using the form there. Thank you!

Those who are exceptionally devoted, done well for the shop, etc. Love them!
Einna Firekeeper :: For getting me info and keeping my head on straight.
Kithen :: For having such a large pack. xd
The Watched Ones
You've done something - rule infraction, or otherwise caused some reason to be watched. While you won't lose your pets, you are going to be watched closely, and perhaps denied buying future DemonHounds until you redeem yourself. Don't break rules, be nice and you'll be removed.
No one... thankfully.
The Damned Ones
Those here are no longer welcome in the shop at all, and any non-plot DemonHounds will cease to exist. The shop will repossess any 'plot' pets and determine a fate for them [not resold!]. Likely the pets will all simply cease to exist. If you're here you either kept breaking rules form the Greylist, or more likely, broke a majorly serious rule right fof that was unredeemable.
Sonata Storm (and any mules of her) - banned completely for various infractions. Long-standing ban.

We have a guild! You can roleplay here, make private RPs, journals, etc. Please be sure to read the main rules in the main guild section [Will copy a set soon!] and follow the normal rules.
The Main RP thread with info on the facility is here
01. Don't Godmode. - don't control other's pets, etc. No killing.
02. Respect others. Common sense.
03. IC is NOT OOC. Just because 2 hounds may not agree ICly doesn't mean the owners hate each other!
More as needed. wink
