[ Questing ]


Welcome to the questing forum! Have you been snagged by a muse (or perhaps another creature) while looking over the shop? Do you have a dream or nightmare that you think would be perfect to bring to life? This is the place to let us know about your ideal pet!

When creating your thread, please put a [Quest] tag along with the name of your Oneiros' essence for a title. After you have labeled your thread as finished, place (Fin) at the end of your thread title. When the shop staff have read over your quest and find that everything fits shop setting, etc, they will change the title to [Quest Cleared].

[Quest Cleared]does not mean your pet is going to be made. It tells the staff that your particular quest is officially available to chose from when we select which quest pets will be done. We will be announcing in the thread who achieved their quest. Winners will be quoted in that post as well as receive a pm in case of cluttered updates, etc.

Please fill out all of the forms in the following posts in your quest thread while keeping the following rules in mind.:

  • These are RP required pets. If you acquire a custom and then never show up after receiving your fist stage or break the shop's activity/hiatus rules within the first three stages, we will refund your payment and remove your pet.

  • All pets start at the first stage (dream catcher)

  • Keep all shop rules in mind.

  • You may use any POV when writing out your Dreamer's dream/nightmare, so long as it is clear and easy to understand.

  • Only one pet per quest thread. If you have more than one idea, please create separate threads for each pet or idea.

  • You may quest multiple dreams or nightmares for the same Dreamer in your quest. However, if we accept one quest or you use that Dreamer for a pet you may have already adopted, the “one Oneiros per Dreamer” rule still applies. Until the previous Oneiroi is a full-grown adult (Reve/Nightmare stage), a Dreamer will not have the ability to support another Oneiroi.

  • Please remember that we will never accept cosplays. Near copies or look-alikes also fall into this category. You may, however, use a particular trait as reference as long as it is a general one.

  • All Dreamers must be “ordinary” humans. No magical abilities, clairvoyance, etc. What makes your Dreamer spectacular is who they are and the dream that draws attention from the Dream Realm.

  • If your idea is potentially graphic or could be considered a “hot button” topic, we will still consider it. However, you must keep Gaia's PG-13 rule, so things such as fade to black, etc, are appropriate. Please put a warning either in your title or the post with your repeating dream/nightmare.

  • Please remember that these issues are hot button topics for a reason. Other shop goers, lurkers, or any other Gaians who read over your thread may have actually been a victim of what you are trying to portray. Respect one another and the choice to post or back out of a thread, respectively. Remember to respect yourselves and do not antagonize one another with personal attacks because you do not like another person's idea or representation.

  • Do not use these potential dream/nightmare situations to troll, flame, or otherwise harass and stir up drama. You will be blacklisted.

  • Dreamers can be of any age, race, ethnicity, social background, gender identity, etc. Our only exception to this is that there can be none under the age of sixteen, as there has been a large influx of child Dreamers.

  • You are free to quest for rare races, but please remember that they are rare for a reason. If we find only rare race questing, we will be unable to accept further requests for them.

  • When you have finished, please say so in your thread title, but keep the [Quest] tag. Example: [Quest] Everlasting Hope (FIN)

  • You may decorate your quest thread if you want, or use additional posts for other information.

  • Please ask any questions you may have in the shop's main thread.



Oneiros staff will post in your thread after we have read over your finished quest thread. Afterwards, we will post comments any recommendations or changes/clarifications that we feel should be addressed. Once you have the okay posted in your thread, you're ready for questing to open up.

Currently, we are holding the first quest acceptances during Spring 2014. The number of pets we accept is undecided at this time and will in part depend on how many applicants there are.

Questing is considered a full-custom pet. While custom prices for this shop range between 100-200k depending on the detail/intricacy of your pet, we will raise the price higher if we feel it is appropriate (ie, you have crazy amounts of detail). High detail pets do not have a lower chance of acceptance than other pets.

[ Form: The Dreamer ]
The following should be included for your Dreamer, the character you will be roleplaying at first in this shop until your Oneiroi is developed enough to emerge from the dream or nightmare they reside in. If you are unable to think of a history or the character doesn't have much, then fill in what you can/state so, respectively.



[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]

[b]Appearance:[/b] This can be a basic description or detailed, formatted however you wish. Remember that this is not the character who will be drawn, but please don't leave this blank. Images are also accepted, but remember that they must be an original character (or human variation of another gaia pet, if you so choose and the other shop allows).

[b]Personality:[/b] This can be formatted however you wish. A list, a paragraph, whatever you feel like.

[b]History:[/b] Go crazy here. We don't want to know what your Dreamer had for breakfast on their fifth birthday, and there may not be much to tell, but we want to see what shaped your character into who they are today.


    Oneiros are drawn to dreams with potent emotions, so your Dreamer should tie into the dream or nightmare they are experiencing. We need to see how this ties together in both the Dreamer and dream/nightmare form.

    Feel free to add more information if you like, but these basics must be in your form in order for it to be accepted.

[ Form: The Dream/Nightmare ]
Please use whichever your Dreamer is experiencing: dream or nightmare.


There is no specific form for your Dreamer's dream or nightmare post. However, there are a few formatting regulations.

  • Fonts must be no smaller than size 10 with Gaia's BBC coding.
  • Keep flavor text and images out of the dream/nightmare.
  • You can use color to indicate who is speaking in your post. No super light or neon fonts.
  • You may use any POV for your dream.
  • Word Count Minimum: 500 words. There is no maximum.
  • Besides the Oneiroi itself, this is the majority of your quest thread. It is actually your selling point to the staff. Imagine us as ravenous bookworms who have finally entered the digital era after over a century without a good story.

[ Forms - The Oneiroi ]

If you wish to leave any part of your Oneiroi's appearance to be surprise, tell us in the form. Visual references are welcome. smile



[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Race:[/b] If you choose to quest for an animal hybrid, please try to specify which animal. Instead of just a gryphon, tell us what the bird and/or feline traits you're interested in. A simple domestic house cat can be any bread, just like a dog. A wolf, for example, has several separate types among its species. Or leave a general animal type and be surprised by the staff!
[b]Essence:[/b] If you cannot think of a name to fit the dream/nightmare this pet goes with, we will help with ideas, but this is ultimately your call.
[b]Item:[/b] This first appears in the Bound Catcher stage (stage 2) and is incorporated in your pet's appearance for the rest of its stages. It does not necessarily have to be tied in to your dream/nightmare, but can if you like.

[b]Personality[/b] This, along with the dream/nightmare your Dreamer experiences, will help decide the pose, expression, and attitude when drawing your pet.

[align=center][size=14][b]Physical Appearance[/b][/size]
The main focus of your form. Please include the following and feel free to add more as you like.[/align]

[b]Pallet:[/b] The general feel and colors used in your pet's appearance unless you specify them. You may list colors by name, html code, RGB numbers, or even upload an image of swatches as long as they are clearly labeled.

[b]Body:[/b] Includes things such as skin color, body type, height/weight, and any remarkable traits such as a deformed or extra limb, tattoos, scars, etc. If your pet has wings, are they tinted or have a pattern? Is there a faint glow around them?

[b]Hair:[/b] Hair type/texture, style, color. Are there streaks or highlights? Accessories?

[b]Eyes:[/b] Includes color and any remarkable traits – blank or glowing eyes, sparkles, stars appear in the irises, etc.

[b]Clothing:[/b] This can be a general clothing archetype/style or detailed for each individual piece of clothing and accessories. Do they prefer a punk rock star look? Steampunk? Traditional Tolkien fantasy? A Bollywood icon? Please include colors if possible.

[b]Other:[/b] Any other notable traits or information that do not fall into the categories above.
