FAQ
Q: What is an Oneiroi?
xxxReves and Nightmares are different types of Oneiroi - spirits haunting a person's dreams and nightmares, respectively. They grow up to have an identity of their own and become part of the dream world, even gaining enough power to take on a physical body in the waking world with time. They need the energy and emotions of dreams to survive. As they become independent, they are able to wander the dream realms and are able to influence dreams with their aspect.
Q: So what do we get?
xxxMost pets will start out at the dream catcher stage, though there are some who may appear at the “spirit” stage. The pets begin as a template, but they become personalized as your pet grows. The last stage, Lucid Dream, is a very special stage that only dedicated roleplaying customers will be able to achieve. Even if you do not reach the special stage, your opinions and pet's history count, and will be included when the stages are drawn.
Q: What is the “aspect” of a reve/nightmare?
xxxThe aspect is what defines your spirit. While the object caught in the dream catcher gives you an idea of what will be included in your pet's appearance, the aspect represents who or what they are on some level. However, it is only an outline, and part of the fun is getting to choose and show us how your pet would interpret that aspect.
For example, say you have a nightmare whose aspect is “arachnophobia.” While this does mean fear of spiders, you as a player can choose how that comes across for your spirit. Does it embody that fear? Do they have a lurking nature? Do they antagonize their dreamer, who is so terrified that they pull their feet up off the floor if they so much as see a spider out of the corner of their eye? How you chose to apply will help shape the pet's appearance as well when Helina draws their growing stages. After all, if you have a nightmare terrified of their own nature, they're going to appear more withdrawn than someone who is proud and thrives off of terrifying others through their aspect.
Q: How many can I own?
xxxCurrently, you may own a maximum of two dream spirits at this time. This will increase to three once breeding becomes available.
Q: Is this shop RP required?
xxxWe created this shop to build a community focused on characters and roleplay, rather than just something to make your signature pretty. There will be journals set up for you to log your pets experiences, and some entries are required for pet growth.
Q: Will there be cosplays in this shop?
xxxCosplay characters will not be accepted. We want to see your character become their own person. smile However, pets based off of your own created characters are welcome.
Q: How do I get a pet?
xxxThrough flatsale prompts and shop events.
Q: What about bribes? RL Money? Pet Trades?
xxxAbsolutely not. We will never accept anything but gaia gold for sales in this shop. Bribing of any sort will get you gray listed, and repeated attempts will result in being blacklisted. Continual harassment or complaining will only leave you on the black for repeated offenses. Pet trades are also not available.
Q: How much does a Reve/Nightmare cost?
xxxFlatsales with prompts, 35k. Semi-customs, 60k. Full customs are estimated at 100-200k.
Q: Will my Reve/Nightmare be rehomed if I becoming inactive?
xxxYes, but we understand that real life gets top priority. We will contact you if we notice you have become inactive for more than a month, then again at three months. If you are inactive for more than six months without discussing it with the staff, your pet will be belong to the shop and rehomed if possible.
Please post actively in the thread at least once every month. This doesn't have to be a lot, just something to let us know you are still with us and still interested: active chatting, casual rp, etc If you're not interested or are unable to remain a part of the community, let us know. That's okay, too.
We reserve the right to rehome a pet if you do not pay a week after you have won them.
Q: Can I co-own with someone?
xxxNo. The energy it takes to feed a nightmare or reve requires a lot of focus for them, so they need to reside in one dream at a time. Having a second owner would split the spirit's focus and they would not be able to manifest.
Q: Can Reves and Nightmares breed?
xxxYes, but not at this time.
Q: What about magic?
xxxPlease see our Magic and Combat thread for more information.
Q: Are you hiring?
xxxWe are not currently looking for any other staff.
