Welcome to Gaia! ::

To All Guardians:

As touchy a subject as this is, it must be done. Sometimes real life will pull us away from Gaia, and sometimes our little ones must be rehomed. In case of being pulled away, I'd like to know what you want done with your child. Whether it be death (oooh man give me Metaplot fodder I dare you), disappearance, NPCing, contests, rehoming, or something else all together, I need to know.

Another Guardian may have no more than two children, and that's ONLY if their first child is teen+ stage. Please keep this in mind.

Please state here who you would like to care for your child or what would happen to your child should you no longer be able to care for him/her. Please note you may change your will at any time.

3 months of inactivity and no response to the warning I send out within two weeks, is an automatic shop seizure and rehoming should wishes not be listed here.

With that, please follow my format posted below:

I, ____, being of _______, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

I, Nessariah Diamond Chrysanthemum Tachikawa (aka Nessy), being of excellent mind and incredibly lush body, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

Vilia will fade entirely. She is my darling, my sweetheart, my smelly little trash heap baby. Unless of course, Kyri can give her an EPIC DEATH. EPIC.

It really has to be epic.

EPIC.

REALLY EPIC.

I, Chibi Sheepcat, being of strange mind and smallish body, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

In the event that I am unable to get on Gaia and post some sort of hiatus notice I'll most likely be dead/severely injured/something of that nature. If that happens, I would like to place Kibarango Ndezi under the control of soutou, who has agreed to take him if I were to vanish mysteriously.

If I am able to return and can provide a legitimate reason for being absent for an extremely long period of time, I would request to be able to take him back and RP him, even if he is no longer an official child of the shop. <3

I, eternaldelusion, being of slightly mushy mind, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

If I ever leave, which is a really, really slim chance, because I'm like a cockroach, I want Trent to go to NykolMisu (despite her telling me I better not leave), because she is fabulous, and knowing her, she'll make a pirate take care of him. Not matter what age he's at, or whats happened.

I, Arrien, being of sporadic but sensible mind, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

I would most prefer that Vanaja be offered out to an active and interested quester, either via a private offer (if there is a single quester that comes to mind) or a character contest (in which I would like to name Kyri, Pales, and Nessy judges, being that I trust the judgment of all three implicitly). This should only be done, however, if I have disappeared entirely from Gaia and am unavailable- if there should be some other issue that gets in the way, I trust that I will still get a say in where and how Vanaja is rehomed.

If at the worst, no suitable Guardian can be found, I would like to lock Vana away in a "limbo"-type situation, until either such a time as a Guardian can be found or I would be able to retake Guardianship. If a new Guardian is found for Vana, however, I want to make it clear that I will not attempt to take her character again, and am stating that here.

As for her Guardian, I would most prefer that Kiv be considered to have returned to a lower level of In Between- because, in the case that I should NOT be permanently gone, I would like to be able to retrieve her as a character even if my absence has revoked my claim on Vanaja.

Loose plot ends have been discussed in at least some form with someone, but just in case, at the time of writing this will, these are the ends that will need to be addressed:

(highlight to read, only if necessary)
- Vanaja's wand is still nestled in the very back of the glove box of Danny's car, which was eventually towed from the Wand Shoppe and has a new owner, and should be recovered at some point.
- Issues with Danny's mother - just ask Kyri on this one

That about covers it. As a general statement- Vanaja is not a weak character, timid though she might be. Her nature as a protector of the forest has given her a constant sense of purpose, even if she doesn't always know how to channel it. It would never be my wish for her to simply be killed off as a result of lack of will, because that would be far from true to character. If she should ever need to be killed off, find a different way.

I, Sizzla, being of optimum mind and not-so-hot health, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

In the unlikely event that I do not keep in touch with anyone from Gaia (which is totally ridiculous), I would like Ngendek to be killed off. BUT she must go out fighting and bloody, as that is just her character. I think she'd prefer an epic battle over a weakling death.

If I do not just disappear, but need to leave Gaia or the shop, I will consider my options at the time and may or may not give permission to rehome her to one of my friends who I feel is capable of playing her character. Currently [as of 5.2.08] there is no one I can think of who I feel is capable of playing and/or willing to play her character.

I, Smerdle, being of sassy mind and boom-shaka-laka body, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

If I somehow leave Gaia without notification of any kind, I wouldn't be opposed to having Alek rehomed or gifted to a thread lurker and afflicted with whatever strange, mind-wiping malady the new guardian required to make him playable.

Aleksandr Saturn: ljeschi, eaten to death for knocking up a human, grows and shrinks at will, speaks Russian, plays magic music, hairy, likes the secks... eventually... HE'S JUST A CHILD OH GOD. Anything else can be rewritten. I certainly won't mind. If I disappear from Gaia without notice, I'm most likely no longer among the living.

If I am still around and just giving him up for whatever reason, I would prefer to write him out of the shop. Perhaps an epic and deadly quest to find Gaia's softest lips would be in order.

I, Pales, being of mostly sound mind and body, do hereby name the following actions to be completed should the Unthinkable Occur:

If I become absent and for some reason unreachable I would like Kaveri to either be NPC'd or killed in some fashion and thus leave her 'concept' open for someone else's interpretation, if it is allowed, of course.

This will likely be edited/changed/updated as I go along working on Kaveri's persona and such. Thank you.
