Welcome to Gaia! ::

Through these tiny boxes, you can glimpse just a hint of an adult Kimeti doe or buck waiting for a new owner; all that's required is a name and a personality! That's right; while this is a flatsale, and all pets will cost the winners gold, this is also a concept contest in which each participating user has to supply an idea for how the Kimeti would behave in RP.

xxxxxxxxxHow to participate: Take the proper form in the following post and fill it out completely.
xxxxxxxxxNumber of entries: You may enter for up to three Kimeti, but can only win once.
xxxxxxxxxPricing/cost: Each winner will have to pay 8000g for their Kimeti, as this is a flatsale.
xxxxxxxxxEnding date: Tuesday, August 17th, at 11:59pm EST.

Just as a note, while you can model your Kimeti's name and personality off of what you can see of their coloration, be aware that we're more interested in seeing interesting ideas than 'matching' ones, and are less likely to select one that's obviously just based on appearances. Naming dreams happen before Kimeti are hatched -- so they exist totally independent of how they look!

Name: Patience Is A Virtue (Nickname: "Go Away", as that's her usual greeting.)
Personality/attitude: Quiet, grumpy, plant obsessed hermit.
Character concept: Patience is not a lover of anything with four legs. Preferring to keep to herself, this doe's favourite way to keep herself busy and healthy is to slowly and steadfastly mold the flowering vines and growing tree saplings around her into works of art. She truly believes that, like the crocodiles and birds around her, other kimeti would only ruin the quiet beauty of what she's created through her will and her will alone.


Name: Changeling
Personality/attitude: Serious, competitive, violent, and quick.
Character concept: I don't see Changeling as vividly as I do the concept above, but I can see her easily as not being "quick" as in physically fast or a quick runner, but as one with a quick temper. She enjoys being around others, but her serious nature and anger issues tend to get into the way of things. Those added to her need to be the best at all she does Changeling ends up either alienating herself, or worse, harming those around her.


Name: Do It
Personality/attitude: Hip-hopping buck that can't stop.
Character concept: With hide so fine, the ladies can't whine when he swaggers on past their words leave their lips in a "gasp". He got rhymes so quick even other bucks know he's slick. When you're stuck in a rhyming pit, just think about him and Do It.

Name: See the Forest
Personality/attitude: obsessive-compulsive, controlling, fickle
Character concept: See the Forest is in every way, OCD. He goes about his day, scanning and going through his territory with a fine tooth comb, making sure everything is organized and perfect. If something has been moved by another kimeti that hasn't been instructed by him to do so, he gets into a fit, ranting and raving about how much he has to do in a day to keep things tidy. He's a super control freak, and can't stand doing something a different way from the way he wants to do it. Most of his little "jobs" for himself are completely independent, as he doesn't trust anyone to do it. If he were ever to get any pets or familiars, it would probably take him a while to give them his full trust, if ever, in keeping everything organized and the way he likes. it.


Name: Meat-Eating-Orchids (sorry it's long)
Personality/attitude: Orchids is essentially on the equivalent to an acid trip all the time. For most of his day, he is really "chilled out" and stares off into space, admiring the "pretty colors." When something weird pops into his hallucinations, he usually becomes frightened, and freaks out. This makes other kimeti, who can't see what he sees, rather nervous, so he's usually by himself. He can't take anything seriously because his head is so messed up. I can only imagine what his naming dream would be like. He doesn't really do anything productive, but sometimes he makes artwork, but it's not easy to understand by anyone other than himself.


Name: Uncertain
Personality/attitude: Uncertain, Nervous, Anxiety-ridden
Character concept: Uncertain is a perfect name for this buck's personality. He can't make up his mind about anything. He'll make a decision, and after careful, doubtful thoughts, he changes his mind again. He's always worried about making a bad decision or the wrong decision, so he doesn't make any decisions. I imagine he would have a foxbun, probably because that's the only pet/familiar I assume would be able to put up with never getting anything done and still love the guy. Uncertain always thinks something terrible is going to happen, or he's missed something, or something along those lines. He talks to himself a lot, as a result.

Name: Fire in the Sky
Personality/attitude: Going to change the world.
Character concept: Fire in the Sky is going to change the world. This has been the one idea she has hung onto since narrowly escaping a crocodile at two days old. Since then, she has become convinced that the Swamp has great plans for her and has been listening for it ever since. She is driven by this sense of impending greatness, but is compassionate as well, sometimes to her own detriment; greatness lies in simple deeds as well as the big ones. She accepts no thanks for the deeds she does for others (rescuing foxbuns, fighting off crocodiles or supplying berries to a starving foal), simply choosing to move on. Some might view her behavior as self-righteous, and they're not far off, but Fire in the Sky would tell you she has everyone's best interests at heart.


Name: Meticulous Owl
Personality/attitude: A rogue: deceitful, untrustworthy, slick.
Character concept: Owl is skilled at the bait-and-switch: distracting a buck with a flip of her tail and stealing his fish, leading a doe astray in order to slide into her den and claim it for the night. She is untrustworthy, often doubling back on promises or sweetly arguing that she never made them in the first place. She would never harm anyone physically, but tricking them, being deceitful, or lying aren't physical things and so they don't count. She has a finely honed sense of right and wrong (and honor), no matter how essentially twisted it is. The only thing that will stop her in her tracks is another beautiful doe or buck, or to tell Owl how pretty she is. Then, too vain to let that slide, she will shift her focus (perhaps to be duped herself).


Name: Blind-eye
Personality/attitude: Inwardly focused, shy but talented.
Character concept: Blind-eye is not physically blind -- just so wrapped up in herself that it seems that way. She goes over every action she does, and every word she speaks, so many times that she often isn't paying attention to the world around her. At her worst, she's self-absorbed and not all that confident. She's also a creature of habit, usually staying in the same small section of swamp she's come to favor over any other. She likes to roam sometimes, but will always return in less than a week's time. What other kimeti might not know about her, since she is so withdrawn, is that she has a beautiful singing voice, and at night has been known to sing quietly to the fireflies as they swirl around her den. She has purposely arranged sweet-smelling flowers to grow near that tree to lure insects in, just to have someone to sing to.

Name: Dead Fall
Personality/attitude: Headstrong, stubborn, melancholic romantic.
Character concept: When Dead Fall gets an idea into his head, no force in heaven or hell can get him to change his mind. You can imagine how difficult it is for him to acknowledge rejection, let alone get over it. When things don't pan out (be it a goal he had set or a doe he was trying to woo) it takes a great amount of effort for Dead Fall to stop himself from wallowing in self-pity. The easiest remedy has always been to find a new goal.


Name: Temper Trap
Personality/attitude: Duplicitous, mischievous gossip monger
Character concept: Temper Trap has a tendency to play dumb. She purposely gets concepts or information wrong to have others underestimate her or infuriate them with how "slow" she is, all the while playing the victim. She means no malice by her actions. It's just a game to her, to see just how far she can push someone's buttons without revealing her true nature, which is a nosy busybody interested in anybody and everybody's business for the sheer sake of knowing.

Name: We Are The Fallen
Personality/attitude: Depressed, dissatisfied, radical
Character concept: We Are The Fallen rails heavily against any and all socially accepted norms, believing that the kimeti - nay, the world itself - has been corrupted by the forces that be, and that they must all repent, or be condemned to life forever in the hellhole that is their world.


Name: The Way We Are
Personality/attitude: Resigned, content, accepting
Character concept: The Way We Are believes that everything happens for a reason, and that there is no use in fighting fate. Everything is written in stone, and that's the way it should be. He believes that everybody should just accept themselves for what they are and the way they are, and embrace the world and all its inhabitants, for all they're flaws and virtues.


Name: Nothing New
Personality/attitude: Completely average, nostalgic
Character concept: Nothing New is the most average kimeti you will ever find. She is nothing new, and her life's goal is to stay under the radar. She lives almost wholely in the past, hanging on to half-remembered memories, often sulking or celebrating on past regrets or joys, and doing her very best not to move into the future.

Name: Insight
Personality/attitude: Observer, tactless, and brutally honest.
Character concept: Insight is a watcher who spends his days mostly on the fringes of Kimeti groups as he watches how they act with each other. He's the go-to buck when you need advice on anything, because he's always watching. He'l tell you straight on what to do. He's arrogant, delightfully blunt, and unafraid of absolute honesty. His stories are always full of details, because he notices all the little things, and may sometimes miss the bigger picture.
