Well, well, well, you guys must be interested in acquiring the Star of your dreams. Well, such is our work, and here is where you can find all the information you'd be interested in regarding getting your customs. ^^

Please remember, when filling out these forms, a picture is worth 1000 words, so, unless you are giving your colorist carte blanche on your custom, or it is a semi-custom, please give lots of references. ^^

Different Stars fall to Earth in different amounts. Some are really common, others fall rarely, if ever. If a sort of Star is listed as unavailable right now, please, do not ask for one. They are unavailable for a good reason. Depending on the commonality of your Star, prices are different. But first, you should be introduced to the different sorts of Stars.

Starborn
Commonality: Common
The Starborn are not as beautiful as their brothers and sisters, but they are friendly, graceful and boast a brilliant personality. The Starborn are the most basic of all, and look like ordinary horses in shape.
Starborn Stages and Genders

Arcturus
Commonality: Common
The Arcturai are elegant and beautiful. They are wise beyond their years and are blessed with a single horn, which pierces the very heavens. This horn is their one protection. It carries great magic and is also a deadly spear. In some rare cases, an Arcturus will have antlers, but these are exceedingly rare and said by some to be a separate breed.
Arcturai Stages and Genders

Lyra
Commonality: Uncommon
The Lyra are peaceful and kind. They are as much at home in the skies as the land. Some Lyra have wingspans more than three times their own size! Beautiful and wise they are seen nesting in the trees and make excellent scouts.
Lyra Stages and Genders

Algiedi
Commonality: Uncommon (Adults only)
The Algiedi are tricky Stars that aren't as sweet and kind as most of the other breeds. Both sexes have cloven hooves, long beards, and curling horns. Despite their grumpy and stubborn disposition, they often make the very truest friends and the most bitter enemies. There's also a bizarre sense of humor that often crops up that drives them to play tricks on the unwary, just for fun. They share a common ancestor with the Arcturai, so the relationship between the two can be complicated.

Solara
Commonality: Rare
The Solara are best to be avoided. They have a draconic nature: deadly, frightening and unforgiving. They have draconic wings, frills, spines, and a serpentine tail. They are rarely known to crossbreed or befriend others. Solara can make good friends and are often extremely intelligent. They can make for possessive mates and friends, but they vary as much as any Star.
Solara Stages and Genders

Arion
Commonality: Rare
Arion are simple, impish and clever. They have small butterfly-like bodies and love to frolic and play. Despite their petite bodies, they can quickly change from the size of a beetle to that of a horse in a blink of an eye. The other distinguishing characteristic is that all Arion have insect wings of some sort.
Arion Stages and Genders
Monarch Butterfly Arion Stages and Genders

Nova
Commonality: Rare
Nova are lonely creatures. Burdened with fins and gills, they cannot survive for more than an hour on land, though they can breed with other species. They do give birth on land or shallow reefs. They are beautiful and generous by nature.
Nova Stages and Genders
Alternate Nova Stages and Genders

Alcor
Commonality: Super-rare
The Alcor are not a cohesive breed like the other breeds of Stars. An Alcor may physically be of any other breed or combination of breeds of Stars. Their origins are as yet unknown, but what connects the Alcor together is that the Alcor are all shapeshifters. Being an Alcor is genetic, just as being a Nova, Arcturus, Solara, Arion, Lyra, Algiedi or Starborn is genetic, and with an equal probability of inheriting Alcor status. Most Alcor wear an animal pelt, the pelt of the animal they turn into. It is not uncommon for Alcor to be tricksters or have an abnormally close relationship to nature, but, like any other Star, Alcors may have any temperament. There are quite a few sub-classes of Alcor, such as werewolves and selkies. Not all Alcor have a full pelt, though some types of animal traits, either alone, or in conjunction with their pelt.

*Alcors are a very special breed of unknown commonality. Since most pelts are created individually, expect high prices for Alcor. We will probably have a special thread at some point for Alcor, who are now available through customs, albeit in limited amounts.

So, you're probably now filling up with ideas for customs, so it's time to talk about price. Unfortunately, much as we'd like to give these out for free, gold, in this case virtual, does make the world go 'round. ^^; But we will keep the Stars as inexpensive as possible. ^^

Common Stars: Starborn, Arcturai
Single Stage: 25k Plat
Growing: 50k Plat
Slots Per Custom Round: Unlimited

Uncommon Stars: Lyra, Algiedi (Adult only)
Single Stage: 50k Plat
Growing: 70k Plat
Slots Per Custom Round: Unlimited

Rare Stars: Arion, Solara, Nova
Single Stage: 70k Plat
Growing: 100k Plat
Slots Per Custom Round: Unlimited

Alcors
Single Stage: 200k Plat
Growing: 250k Plat
Slots Per Custom Round: 1

Hybrid Stars: Cross between any TWO breeds
Single Stage: Half the price of a single stage of the more expensive breed PLUS the full price of a single stage of the less expensive breed
Growing: Half the price of a growing version of the more expensive breed PLUS the full price of a growing version of the less expensive breed

Example: An adult alicorn would be 45k Plat (half the price of an adult Lyra + the full price of an adult Arcturus); a growing alicorn would be 85k Plat.

Mutant Stars: Anything not in any of the categories above.*
Bribe only

Complicated Coloring: Add 20k (Check what the colorist considers difficult)
Insane Coloring: Add 50k (Check what the colorist considers insane, but this can include things like nebulae)

Minor Edits: Add 10k (Jewelery); up to five edits
Moderate Edits: Add 20k (Complex jewelery, hair, simple clothing); up to five edits
Major Edits: Add 50k (Complex hair, up through complex clothing); up to five edits
Insane Edits: Add 100k (Extremely detailed and complex edits in large amounts); unlimited amount

Bribes should be AT LEAST DOUBLE the normal price you'd pay. Contact the colorist you'd like to bribe if they state they are taking bribes.

SEND ALL TRADES TO THE SHOP MULE, SPECIFYING COLORIST AND METHOD USED TO OBTAIN SAID CUSTOM.

*A mutant qualifies as a Star carrying traits that do not crop up in ANY of the official breeds. Breed variations, especially those that appear as stock edits, do not qualify as mutations. New horns/antlers/tails on Arcturai? New beards/horns/antlers/tails on Algiedi? New pelts on Alcors? New fins on Novae? New bottles on Genie Novae? New wings/antennae on Arions? Double pair of wings on Lyra? None of these count as mutant-worthy. Totally new wings on anything that doesn't have Arion wings? Animal paws replacing hooves on even Alcors? This stuff qualifies as mutants.
