Welcome to Gaia! ::

Premise

Basically, group of geeks get together and are like, "Hey, lol. We love these characters and want to make them real. Let's do it!"

Years later, they have their own corporation, etc. and begin to play with genetics, manipulating them into creating the characters.

They then market this endeavor out to the world as "designer" children, letting other people pick their favorite characters and adopt them for a fee, as an adoption of agency of CRAZY.

Setting

I'd prefer Gaia. I like to have my big happy families of doom on Gaia with my RP characters and the like. Yeah, I'm lame. :'D

Stages

Toddler, Child, Teen Adult? Do we want more, like Baby, Pre-Teen, Youth?

Kids

While the kids would look like the characters, they are NOT actually the characters. As in, they probably won't have the same personality, so you can go wild with that and you also do not have to name them the same thing as the character. Different names would kind of be awesome.

Prices

Since there will be more than one artist, and I might do an additional artist search, so we've got a few, I'd like prices on these.

I know the B/C forum is insanely expensive for the most part, so I would like the amount to be something that would keep people interested in the shop (artists and players alike), but still affordable.

Bribes, customs, and pet trades would be allowed, as long as that artist is willing to fulfill their end.

NPCs

A mule, maybe? I'm actually kind of leery of the idea of a mule, to be honest. I'd rather have the artists of the kids in flatsales be sent the trades directly (say Artist A draws two kids that are won, those two people send them the trades to Artist A; Artist B does three that are won, those three send the trades to Artist B).

Though I guess if the trades are sent directly to the artists, then a mule would work for updates and things. Sorry, I'm typing a lot of this as it pops into my head.

RP

I'd like RP required, but we can set up what needs to be done for the next stages, like X amount of journal entries, etc, that can be done over whatever amount of time the owner feels like doing. Also, a time span, like 2-3 months per stage, give or take on a couple of them (like if an Infant stage is done).

Er... anything else?

All staff gets first pick of one or two kids. I'll draw them unless another artist would like to or if you'd like someone else to do it and they agree. Also, you guys on the staff list, if you want to be part of the shop, say who you want. :3

Taken

- Larxene [Kingdom Hearts]
- Ariel [The Little Mermaid]
- Axel [Kingdom Hearts]
- Demyx [Kingdom Hearts]
- Simon [Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann]

...Yeah, I''m a whore. Shush.

I know! I love the GMFC, but I hate how they're almost auctions only recently. I'd kind of like to stay away from auctions for the most part and do more flatsales than anything else.

Alright, I think the extra stages will be good too. I really like the idea, too, and it's been fun so far drawing characters at different stages in their lives. *dork*

Erm... Hm. With more stages, though, what would be reasonble? 25k? That seems almost piddly in comparison to a lot of places. XD;;

Ooh, I agree on the charity events! Maybe for the first event we could do a flatsale and then an all Naruto auction (and exclude Naruto from the flatsale)? Artists could keep the normal flatsale price from the auction for themselves and then the extra will go to charities on Gaia and things like that? ...I'm just always really paranoid about shops becoming gold mongers. XD;; Kind of my personal problem.

Alright, 30k, then. XD I'm going to go mostly off artists for the pricing since... yeah, drawing the stuff.

Having a lot of examples is always good and don't worry about the animal parts. My last drawing phase that I went through was bunnies. That was aaaall that I would draw for months. XD

But your samples look lovely and I would love to have you on as an artist for the shop. <3

Axel and Demyx are yours~ (Ahaha, mini-Organization, so cute.)

I FINALLY DECIDED WHO I WANT.

Save me Simon, from Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann. * * I'll probably ask for another later, but I know I want him. Eee.
And I had an idea that sometimes kids who've already reached, say, the Child stage or something are up for grabs in an event, for slightly discounted price. They could be flawed experiments or something. <3

Octoroth sounds hilarious. And full of tentacle-y opportunities. XD The add-ons can be excused with "DNA contamination" of some sort. Like, somebody dropped a cat-hair in the mixture by accident; one of the risks of a human-operated system, I suppose...
