Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright. Here is the place to post your thoughts on Cein-Isles breeding. I'll post a bunch of questions that I know need to be adressed, and I'll add any questions that are posed by you.

Number of babies ~ 1-2 with the possible addition of a berry that increases the firtility of the parents and increases the number born to 2-3. Berries will require a trip to the Mystic.

When you request a breeding I will start rolling dice. Once to determin the number of kids (1-60 = lower avalible bracket (1 child or 2 if you ate a berry) (61-100 = higher avalible bracket 2 or 3 if you ate a berry). There will be a 50-50 chance for male /female (rolled for each child).

Cost of Breeding / what will be done with the children ~ There will be a 1k fee to breed, and a 3k ownership fee, payed by the person who is receving the baby. Parents may decide if they'd like to keep the babies, give the babies to friends, or put the babies in an open/ closed flatsale to allow others a chance to get taur.

Same Gender Breeding/ Interspecies breeding ~ Same sex and interpecies breeding will reqire a trip to the Mystic.

How often may a pair breed? ~ Once a pair breeds neither taur may breed agian untill the slots have been opened 2 more times. After that we will rely on an honor system. If you know others are waiting for a breeding spot and your taur have already had children it will be up to you to stand aside and give them the spot. When a pair breeds one of their allowed breeding times will be taken off both their lists... even in the case of a female pair.

How many times May a taur breed? ~ inactive taur will be allowed to breed twice. Active taur will be allowed to breed 4 times. All taur may breed again after their time is up but it will require an item purchased from the Mystic.

Changeing of mates ~ I'm thinking that once a taur mates he/ she may only mate with that individual. UNLESS the taur in questioned is frequently RPed and goes THOUGH a falling out with thier mate. A loose taur is also a posibility for an RPer... be warned you may get a bit of a reputation among other taur....

The Mystic ~ see next post.

Decided Factors
Once a question is moved here it will be decided and what you see posted will be the final answer.

Interspecies breeding ~ While allowed by the shop intrespecies breeding is shuned by most taur. Races wish to keep their lineage pure, and many races consider themselves better then the others on some level. Children born to mixed parents may encounter much prejudous growing up... Interspecies breeding will ONLY be allowed to couples who RP regularily.

What will happen if I pertake in interspeciesbreeding? ~ There is no new linart for mixed children, they will be (visibly) like one of their parents. Any benifits gained from interspecies breeding would be mainly seen in RP (Centaur + Cattaur = Centaur with magic).

Are there new linearts for generation 2? ~ No.

Name ~ She needs a name... sugestions?

History ~ While it's unsure when she died, in life she was an extreemly motherly taur who cared for all children as if they where her own. Time has forgotten many things about her, and no one is sure what race she was while alive. She appears as what ever the viewer wishes her to appear as (she is not truely half cat half uni, her tag just reflects her changeing nature). She haunts a small but beautifull cove along the seashore and will lend a kind ear to whoever needs her.

She is most known to be the patron of those expecting, or desiring children, though sometimes she will appear before a troubled child to offer guidance...

Berries ~ A paculiar kind of berry grows by her haunt, it's rumored to make the eater more fertile... though it has no effects on a taur that is not mateing. (+3k?)

Interspecies breeding ~ Taur wishing to breed outside their species must first speak with the Mystic. She herself does not approve of cross breeding she understands that love does not always occur in the most conventional sense. She will grant otherwise steril pairings a chance to beget mixed children if they can prove their love... (+10k, avalible to RPers only)

Same gender breeding ~ Much the same as interspecies breeding she understands that love does not always occur in the most conventional sense, and will aid same sex couples in reproducing. (+5k, avalible to RPers only)
...........Female ~ Once the couple has decided which of them will bear the child the Mystic will impregnate her with the essance of the other. After this nature will be allowed to take it's corse.
...........Male ~ She will go a step further for male couples and bear for them a child of the combined essance of the fathers. The pair must stay with her untill she gives birth, and aid her as it occurs.

Breeding beyond the limit ~ For taur who have reached the breeding limit she will aid them in becoming firtile again and with a safe childbirth. (25-30k?)

((please post your oppinion on prices and/ or if you agree with the prices of differant options))

((addition would look like this.. Cost of breeding 1k, +same sex couple 5k, fertility berries +3k = 9k. Once the children are born if you decide you'd like to keep them you must tack on 3k for each child you wish to keep (so assuming 2 children are born the total for this sample would be 15k))

also... I'm not from the school of thought where people should play their own children in RP XP

...

now I'm not saying 'can't'

but the more children you add per litter the more work it's gonna be in the long run. you have to look at it from my point of view too... I'm currently the only person running this shop.

I'm not shooting your sugestion down, I'm just telling you why I said it the way I did in the topics section.

Then one thing to look at could be that the breeding fee is in fact rather low, 1k or something. Then if the parents want to RP the child they pay the rest of the 3k, if not the others may buy for 3k. And perhaps it should be a closed FS, only those the parents trust to be active RPers may have a chance at buying.

9. Owners decide. In the case of two children, two owners it might be best to roll a dice to see who gets first pick to avoid any fights. If there are any babies left over then they should be able to give them away to friends, or even hold a free contest if they don't know who they want to give the child to.
