The Reason


To make growth fair and to give everyone a good chance to roleplay out everything he has planned for his Eden, we're setting up a new growth system. It starts with the toddler stage, because the former stages are just very obvious to grow pretty quick.

It's easier for everyone if you fill in a form everytime you want your Eden to grow and send it to the EdenProject account. Of course you can't just grow your child everytime you want, because journal activity and time also counts. This idea wasn't mine but I saw it at other breedables shops like GMFC and Fourth Wall. So don't credit this as an idea of mine.

There will be a growth list on which you can see when your Eden will grow, which makes it nice for you so you don't have to worry or wait to long. And it's also nice for us and Shayan, so he knows what he has to do and we know when to pass out quests smile

Growth Necessities


You'll receive a quest when you fulfilled these criteria and sent in the growth form

Just as a small note : 'Dear Diary'-Entries can also be replaced by solo-rp's. It just needs to be something you did on your own.

Another note: An "Open RP" is defined as three or more children. A "Private RP" is two children. One "Open RP" = Two "Private RPs"

Leaf -> Planted Leaf
2 'Dear Diary' entries about the leaf

Planted Leaf -> Toddler
1 'Dear Diary' entry about the planted leaf

Toddler -> Child
3 'Dear Diary' entries ( one from the toddler's point of view ), 2 open rp sessions transferred into the journal, 1 closed rp session

Child -> Teen
1 'Dear Diary' entry from your point of view, 4 'Dear Diary' entries from your child's point of view, 2 open rp sessions transferred into the journal, 2 closed rp sessions

Teen -> Young Adult
6 'Dear Diary' entries from the teen's point of view, 2 open roleplaying sessions transferred into the journal, 3 closed rp sessions

Young Adult -> Adult / Immortal
4 'Dear Diary' entries, 4 open roleplay sessions transferred into journal, special shopkeeper roleplay ( still needs to be defined ), 4 closed rp sessions

Growth Form


Please send this form to the Eden Project account, when you've fulfilled the criteria properly. This means that you have written proper entries in a decent length and you feel that your Eden is ready for the next stage. Don't just try to grow as quickly as possible. More roleplay is always appreciated !

Don't expect to get a quest at once, you'll get it when the art is ready and this depends on Shayan's time schedule.

Growth Form


Your Eden's name : ( well..obvious )
The stage you want your Eden to grow to : ( If you have a toddler, type child here )
Your Eden's soul and, if applicable, a link to their previous stage's art or a reference photo : (Obviously you don't have to link a leaf.)
( Just for toddler stage and above ) Your Eden's current mood : ( Has your Eden been very happy during the last stage or did he/she cry often ? Does your Eden probably feel lonely or rebellious ? )
( Just for toddler stage and above ) Clothing/Hair Style : ( Did your Eden change anything about it's clothes ? Did he/she receive some new jewelry or other possessions it always wears ? Do you want your Eden's hair to grow or get it dyed or a new cut ? Remember...you must have rped or stated these things in your journal before ! )
Anything else that's important : ( Well, anything you need to express. )

Everything about Quests


So what are quests ? Quite a few popular breedables shop have them and enable you to write some kind of story about a particular happning in your Eden's life. It will help your child to discover something new, to go through an adventure or learn something about his past life.

It usually has to be at least four posts in length, but the older your child gets the more it should become. It's not a regulation, but you'll see that it's fun.
Of course it may involve other Edens, no matter if they want to grow or not or even other breedables or original characters. There are almost no limits to your imagination.

Almost : If the story involves your Eden's past life you should contact the Eden project account or Lena on aim, so it doesn't disturb the metaplot. Usually I'll say yes, I just need to coordinate all the different stories. Do the same if it involves the being of Edens in general.

Quests and Growth


After sending in your growth form you are able to start your quest, so Shayan has enough time to draw. Still it's not said that the Eden will grow right away after the quest ended.

Toddler -> Child
This will be your first quest and the prompt for it will be given to you by the Eden Project staff after you sent in the growth form. It's usually a simple one which involves character traits or hobbies of your Eden.

Child -> Teen
You may think of whatever you want just remember the regulations stated above. This is the first quest you're able to think off on your own. Just be creative and let me know about what it's planned. Preferably already in the growth form, so changes within the quest can be added to the teen's picture.

For this quest, your child will preferably be journeying in the lands of Eden, though how you interpret this is up to you. Tyyne and Teagan visited the Flower Court and the Rose Queen on their quest, but Sylvest went and floated around in the ocean talking to sea creatures. If your Eden is especially close with another Eden and they are ready to grow at around the same time, you have the option of questing as a pair.
