Okay I guess I'm gonna set this up first. Need to get this forum started xD I welcome you to this thread over the Angel's Wistas B/C shop. First I'm going to tell you a little bit about the shop in general and in the next few posts break down information about it into more detail like rp and pet information, ect. Angel's Wistas was created by myself, angelgirl2345 in July of 2008 and has continued to be around and open since then. Currently the only staff available for the shop is myself as Owner and full time colorist, Keliptis for part-time/guest colorist, and Dea for my updater of inventory and our owner's list. There are over 40 templates for this shop currently with the bulk finished being Wista. Some pets have set templates, and some have unique lines. Pets are animals, plants, insects, and humanoid creatures so there is a large diversity for pet species. Out of the templates already made, less than 25% of the actual amount of templates are complete with each genus having sets of 5 species and there being 12 different Genus classes in the main pets. This is why wistas is currently on a semi Hiatus. I am stocking up on templates before making any more new pets. However, even though the making of pets is not currently undergoing any progress while I'm making the templates, this shop is VERY rp oriented so when no pets are there, there is a very unique and RPG game based world to rp in. It is vast and can be complicated especially when all the maps are completed, but its easy once one gets the hang of it and has proven to be rather addictive to my current thread goers xD You do NOT need a pet to rp, and pets from other shops are allowed to rp in the forum of our guild titled "Rp Room." Plot rp is only for wista characters whether they be your pets, or one of your two humanoid characters you are allowed to rp as. Onward to the Story...

Wistas has a story that is almost like that of a novel or anime/manga. The rp itself is broken down into "rp arcs" where we are about to get on the 3rd rp arc soon as the 2nd is nearing its completion. Anyone can join at any time and they are not limited to the main plot since they can create their own plot as it follows the time of the main plot. This is a huge world, one can be in one city gathering groceries, while another person can be killing grugach in an epic battle to save the world. Its up to you, but the main rp follows around a set of characters that are played by myself. I currently play over 30 NPCs for Wistas but the main two characters of the story are Lilian and Isaac of mine. Now... about the world and what the world of Wistas is. The current world of Wistas is Celeste which is the future of Earth thousands of years from now after plate tectonic shifts and the mutation of everything from a radioactive substance from outer space called Acanite. In scrolls of the past in Celeste, it tells that Acanite was first found in 2004 AD and NASA scientist had found that it was like their very own "fountain of youth" after they had done a series of tests with it and infecting it into animals such as mice, cats, dogs, ect. Finally they moved on to human test subjects that had been condemned to death that had wanted to live whether they had some disease, disability, ect. They had first used it on 9 subjects all of which were found to be cured and immune to all disease, incapable of scarring, skin and bones would not break from immense amounts of pressure, and overall they looked as if they were super humans incapable of dying. This was a revelation in science for the scientists and they made information about the substance known to the world, where of course it was expensive so only the rich got it first. However, over time the first 9 test subjects began to mutate in a way that the scientists had not known would happen and they were broken down into one of two categories: Fallen and Daemon. Both exhibited past effects from prior use to the Acanite, but they had gained different eyes that were more feline and nocturnal and ears became slightly pointed. Fallen gained feathered wings, and Daemon gained more bat like ones, some even received scales or horns. Daemon gained a craving for raw flesh and blood while Fallen did not, however both began a loathing for humans for they had now been outcast from society and humans that had recently been injected with Acanite wanted a cure. Eventually the subjects escaped and humans found that being injected with the Acanite was no longer the only means one could be mutated into one. With the Daemon craving, they would kill or bite humans and other creatures resulting in the Acanite transferring from the host to a new victim. Eventually war broke out and humans ended up becoming eradicated off the planet, as well as any other plant, insect, or animal we have alive today. In only a few years, Acanite plagued the world and pretty much made the apocalypse for the human race. During the 8000+ years that followed. The sage council was created to keep the world order and they were of the first test subjects created being the most powerful out of all creatures. They found that there was no way to repopulate themselves for female Fallen and Daemon had become sterile and many of the original population had been killed by wars they had among themselves. They found it necessary to find a way for them to repopulate themselves or they would eventually become extinct just like humans before them. The Sage of Wind, Angela found an insect that was suppose to have been extinct a long time ago and she gave it Acanite and shaped it into what she wanted it to be. This became the first fairy of Wistas by the name of Keldry. Angela gave Keldry the power to go back in time and bring humans to the current time so that they may find a way to repopulate themselves, without killing off the human population all over again. The Sage of Dreams, Gwendalla foretold that one day a human with a specific gene would come to them that would allow them to be able to breed without all their women being sterile so they searched for this human for over 4,000 years. Sadly, most of the humans Keldry brought were either dead on the trip to Celeste or eventually died after short lives from Daemon. A law was passed that any who killed a human would be punished but didn't really stop the Daemon from doing evil deeds. Angela then came up with a different solution, to create a creature that was capable of protecting humans from a squirrel/chinchilla like creature that she mutated to be the first Wista. This Wista was Isaac Fenrir Parker. After Isaac successfully protected a human throughout its entire lifetime, Angela began to create more wista, creating different ones for different purposes. The Sanya to protect humans, The Alae to be her spies, The Faey to be her magic crafters, The Akuma to protect the Daemon, and The Seraph to protect the Fallen. These creatures were capable of the international language all species shared (we use English), and then were capable of their own species language like most others were as well. Each creature was found to be capable of "magic" which was merely only the altering of molecules around a specific area that the creature wished to use so there were no needs for advancements in technology. Magical abilities are based on rank starting from Esper rank as the lowest and then working up to Necromancer rank as the highest and most gifted. Each creature is capable of a "transformation" that will allow them to transform for a short period of time to do tasks they couldn't do while in an animal form. Necromancers are the only ones capable of a full transformation and are not limited to a time frame of how long they can transform. Their transformation, however, can curse them and make them incapable of changing back to their animal form over time or by a mistake in magical properties when altering their DNA. The creatures, whether they be Wista, Fallen, or Daemon, actually took a more medieval turn in technology and became more conservative for their environment having buildings more like castles and forts for those of higher status than our current skyscrapers. The most advanced technology they have is of that of steampunk where they could have airships or ships for transportation of creatures that were incapable of flight. (Basically if you look at a cross between Assassin's Creed I and Zelda.. you are good to go on this world). after over 8000 years of Celeste being created, finally the woman of Gwendalla's prophecy shows up and that is Lilian and Isaac was told to be her guardian. More information, yes.... there is more... is here in the Library of our Website. Basic Info Scroll 1 Scroll 2 Scroll 3 100 years war

So now we get to the ACTUAL rp information.. its a lot isn't it xDokay.. so first off rp like I said in my first post, is broken down in rp arcs and the shop's front usually changes to follow whatever rp arc we are on so that's why we have epic battle things going on currently because the Sage Wars is going to be starting soon. Second thing people need to know about rping is that plot rp is now done in the guild. It used to be done in the main thread, but sometimes posts would get lost and I tried to keep as many as possible in my Journal here. Its been a bit of trial and error with the rp part, but I've found a suitable solution to it all finally after 2 years of playing with it going from battle system to RPG system. Those that rp, usually I configure the amount of posts, time, and effort one does as well as the amount of missions, battles, ect one has to do in order for their pet to go up in ranking so they can become necromancers, get free items, ect. Recently I gave out a free Transformation book, which is a rare item, to someone who I felt deserved it and her character will be given a unique line transformation that I will be doing after I complete one that I owe. I got stabbed in the hand by a cut hanger wire, so things are going slower than I had planned with that. Anyways, as I was saying, The RPG System is based off of maps that one can also find in our website. The forum of plot rp is broken down into the maps "territories" and as of right now the only 4 places really complete in such a way someone can rp them are Nathron, Tengawa Nai, Eruianna, and Asea Valley. I have just been adding them as main plot gets to them but if someone wants to rp in a specific place that isn't complete, it just takes me a day or less to complete it and its ready for your use. Map and all. Eventually the maps in the website will be sigmaps.. leading to sigmaps, and then leading to city or place information. For example, you look at the map of celeste, click on Nathron, it takes you to Nathron's zoomed in map with dots on it you can click to go to a city, and then it takes you to another page where it would have the cities detailed information, images, floorplans of important buildings, ect. I'm the only one making all of these, so please bear with me if the process is slow... Now, if you want to rp, you pick what territory your character starts in, we rp with you, and you pretty much are making your own character's story while rping. You may start out as a baddie in Raziel's army in Nathron, have a battle that needs to take place in Tumba so you'd have to RP then in the Sanya territory of Talaghand to fight in Tumba, and then you may either be defeated or win the battle and return to rping in Nathron where you tell your information to your commanding officer or one of higher military status. Basically where ever you are on the map, you need to rp in that territory of the forum. Lastly, we have the rp arcs. Currently there have been two arcs with the second almost complete and their information is as follows in short summaries: Arc 1- OverThe One that is SpecialSummary- Lilian is brought forward in time to world of Celeste by the rainbow fairy, Keldry and meets her own Wista, Skyler, Riko and Isaac. Isaac does not stay a wista for very long however and is accidentally cursed for life to be a creature that is neither Fallen, Daemon, or Human by Riko. At first he hates his self and wants to become a Wista again, but over time he falls in love with Lilian and she too falls in love with him. Along their Journey they meet a Daemon that goes by the nickname of Puddle and he helps in the rescue of Isaac from his trial to death when he hurt Lilian on accident in Hyper Mode and becomes a "friend" to them for the rest of the arc. During Isaac's trial, Lilian learns that the Overlord of the Daemon capital and the Sages of the world brought her there to use her for their experiments because she is the only human ever known to not be affected by Acanite the way that all others have before her. Isaac, however, refuses to let them get what they want from her and vows that she will never become one of them. Toward the end of this Arc, Isaac, Skyler, Riko, and Lilian are all knocked unconscious by the Nathron Generals and Puddle rescues them and takes them to the Labyrinth, his mountain home, where his plot for the future begins to go into motion. Arc 2- Near its EndThe Choice of Light or DarknessThe beginning of this arc starts with Isaac, Skyler, Riko, and Lilian waking up in Puddle's home. He allows them to stay as long as they like as long as he gets to study Lilian for purposes that are unknown for quite some time. Amelie "Stray" Boggam arrives and takes a liking for Skyler and over much hardship between their relationship due to Skyler's own feelings, they become mates for life and share a connection with one another that lets them feel, hear, and see each other even over long distances. Meanwhile, Isaac battles his feelings for Lilian as she is studied by Puddle since he's not allowed to touch her in any way due to his agreement with Puddle and his own fear of hurting her again. His resolve is continually driven over the edge thanks to Puddle's use of tools like "Blood Crystals" on Lilian and Lilian's own feelings toward him. Half way through the arc, the Nathron General, Corina captures Lilian and takes her to Raziel's castle where Puddle meets later and strikes a deal with Raziel to hand her back over and he'll give him 7 clones exactly like her. Lilian learns that Raziel and Puddle are brothers and over the time spent in the Labyrinth, he had been collecting Lilian's genetic makeup and creating clones of her for the use of those around the world but these clones were missing the one important thing that Raziel needs. During the talk between the brothers, Isaac, Riko, and Skyler go to Lilian's rescue as she is held captive and Isaac escapes with her as Riko and Skyler become decoys. After rescuing her, Isaac takes Lilian to a cave far away from Nathron to shield her from rain and temperature of the elements and he commits the ultimate sin according the the Sages by making love to her there. Later, Balthier, Elana, and Tyson join the group and split from the authority of Raziel because Tyson's lover, Elana was being hunted by them because she is a Fallen and not a Daemon like the rest of them. Amelie uses her powers as a succubus and reveals to everyone that Lilian is pregnant and that the child is a boy to Isaac. He makes Lilian a ring but has yet to give it to her and Skyler learns that Riko was cursed by Narcissa when she stabbed him in the shoulder in Arc 1. He only will live until the mark reaches his heart since there is currently no cure for him. The Sage council meets for Isaac and Lilian's fate as they are divided down the middle over what to do with them. Angela and Seth, however, take matters into their own hands without the others. Riko is also captured by Alae and taken to their Capital of Shilmista as bait for Lilian and the others to come get him so that Angela can kidnap her and take her to Seth's Castle. Her plan succeeds and Lilian is rescued by Skyler and Gwendalla first, but to their dismay Angela and Seth were only allowing them to get there so that they can make Isaac suffer as Angela harms Lilian in front of him. Injured, Skyler can't do much but watch either and Gwendalla was knocked unconscious before both of them and Lilian vanish into the Siiluth Sea when the cliff collapsed. Isaac, in his rage against Angela and Seth, attack them and loses because Seth rips his soul from his body and sends it to the Netherworld. Stray, Ralu, and Conrad saved Isaac's body and a still unconscious Riko from the clutches of Angela and Seth and Stray was in the Netherworld with Ralu tracking down Isaac's soul. Skyler, Gwendalla, and Lilian washed up on the shores of Tengawa Nai and Skyler is forced to change Lilian into a Fallen or Daemon to save her life and loses his wings from the damage of burns he sustained back in Asea Valley. He is torn by what he had to do to her and by his failure of protecting her when he needed to most. Gwendalla and Skyler meet Raesri, an Alae Chief of the tribe Trajin Rin and he is leads them to his tribe. Back in Nathron, quite a few new characters show up, the main ones being Lauray, Raivyn, and Samantha. Raziel has been using his own fairy he created to bring back human woman to the world and one of which he brought was Samantha. Lauray was told to do the dirty work and dispose of her but before he could do so, Commander Radu took her to his chambers where he was then knocked unconscious by the mysterious Sanya known as, Marlene, and Samantha was taken to the underground passages of a nearby volcano in order to get her to safety. Meanwhile, Lauray and Raivyn were told to attend a meeting of the high officials of Raziel's army and are told to head to Tengawa Nai immediately and find Lilian and bring her back to Nathron. Lauray follows orders and gathers his team and together they all head to Tengawa Nai, and are currently preparing for Trajin Rin's destruction that they will attack. Currently, Isaac and the others safely made it intact to Trajin Rin where Isaac is with Lilian who is neither Fallen or Daemon but a mix of the two, Skyler is with Stray, and Riko is still in a coma. Tempers flair and the heroes are not getting along well with one another when they need to the most...

okay so now we get to all the pretty things Species information!! First, Species are first broken down into "Genus". If you are familiar with Taxonomy then this will be a piece of cake for you to understand, if not well you get to learn some new science information today. Wistas is ALL based off of the evolution of creatures in our world over years, they just evolved more quickly because of Acanite. Each Genus has, or will have 5 species for it. These species are all capable of breeding with others in their own Genus and some may even be able to breed with other Genus creatures, like the Niketu Genus. Think of a Canine. Canine acts as the Genus, wolf, domestic dog, coyote, ect as the Species. They can breed with each other, but you won't see one breeding with a cat... Best way I can think of it. So the Genus with species list are as follows for Wistas for main pets. Wista- Sanya, Alae, Faey, Akuma, SeraphNiketu- Succubus, Incubus, Dirieum, Rhigori, Gaulichu Garashi- Kyren, Hystha, Barretta, Loramis, Xercru Villi- Grugach, Wrayta, Namienas, Looyarma, Brachna Megil- Gumiho, Hysmer, Verilmis, Mistaghrir, Dilamar Naith- Hylrmer, Shalem, Yezmer, Ahlarius, Zerpaq Tathar- Vanshta, Brugah, Drekavas, Guayota, Juycha Minas- Floracina, Fyanha, Adhene, Shighir, Whystir Ithreen- Arachnid, Garaine, Crysatham, Knatallian, Drumagu Lapact- Jackalope, Frashma, Ruugah, Cerrillis, Kishma Faun- Gyrah, Barsun, Xercris, Quilista, Waremin Condir- Talareus, Minqsi, Olamer, Camisna, Zergah Each of these species are capable of Transformation Spells, heavily technical magic spells, and speech. All lines are gender specific with Green being male, pink/red being female, and brown being unisex. You can see completed templates on the main page of Wistas . Each thumbnail leads to species information. Some are complete, some are not yet. Additional Main species with Unique Lines include: KholiathraFairyFamiliars are not limited to those put on the front page of the shop. Very few are capable of speech and some, if not most, are unique lines so far so not many templates have been created for them. Roleplay Required pets- 99% of wista pets are not rp required. There are a select few that are because they are NPCs. So far the only rp required pets are the Tengawa Nai Faey Tribal leaders. One would win a pet through a rp contest, and then they are required to be rp'd frequently or I WILL give them a new owner or I myself will rp them until they got new owners. Requirements to keep all other pets. Even if you pay for a pet, I WILL rehome them if they are not posted in the Certing thread of the guild. Its not a difficult request. I wish for them to have names and be certed properly, if you do not do this, I see it as you do not care to have them and I will rehome them in the Pet Pot of the thread for those that will care for them. I was tired of pets have ??? or ??? in the gender for unisex pets.. and so I made this rule so that it doesn't happen again. I spend a lot of time coloring them, so I'd like them to be loved as much as I love working on them.

Now its Transformation information. Basically I'm just gonna copy and paste from my shop thread because I don't feel like typing it all over... again..
Full transformations of pets are a rare occurrence here in Celeste. Many pets do not reach this high in magical power in order to take on the form of another creature that can be similar to themselves or not at all. Pets eligible to have the power of transformation are of Necromancer Rank. No lower level of pet can transform and the only way for them to be able to transform is if they are already given this power or have a Transformation Book.
These books appear randomly for auction and if the winner does not have a Necromancer pet yet, they can not use it. To have a Necromancer of your pet, there are badges that can be given for free during RP, or there are some for sale in the mini shops of the guild. If the owner has a Necromancer pet, they can choose to use the book on it so that it can transform into some other creature. Transformations are all Unique lineart creatures that do not exist within our present time period. An example would be a tiger. You can not get a tiger pet because it exists in our world today. There are also no variations of humaniod creatures allowed except for Fairies, Fallen, Daemon, and Humans. There are no vampires, goblins, werewolves, ect in this world. Creatures that have been extinct in our present time are also allowed like Dinosaurs.
Once you have decided that you want to use this book, you need to PM angelgirl2345 on a very descriptive.. and I mean VERY descriptive passage on what your transformation is suppose to look like. I will then RNG a number between 1 and 100.. if it is below 50 then your pet can transform at will between its transformation and its pet form. If it is 50 and above, your pet is cursed for life because their transformation went wrong and they can not transform back into their pet form.
Transformations come with their pet form on a cert unless they are cursed. If they are cursed they will have a symbol on the orb tree of the cert and no pet form around them.

Moving on to breeding. For some reason we haven't had much of this.. its odd actually, but I think maybe its because its not as simple as waiting for a slot to open, pay the colorist, and then wait on your pet. Pets first have something called LS which stands for Litter Size and can be found in the owners list by the pet's name. Almost every pet starts out at 0 and it is a requirement in order to breed to equip a "creation fruit" to the pet to raise their LS. You can buy Creation Fruit in the mini shop in my forum of the wista guild. You can buy as many as you want to raise your LS and use them whenever you wish to equip them. Next you'll have to buy a breeding item that is allowed for breeding your pet. These are also found in the mini shop, you can buy them whenever you wish and they will be saved in your inventory. You can use a breeding item whenever breeding slots are open for a colorist. All breedings are available by gold or wista currency which are Ippins. We give out Ippins randomly and if you don't wish to part with your gold, you do have this option to use them instead. Price for breeding depends on the breeding item bought. It will never cost more than that no matter how difficult the breeding is or the amount of babies that are made. Homosexual pets are allowed to breed as long as they have a 3rd party member of the opposite sex or have a special item like the Faey species does if they are limited to only have one gender. You are allowed to breed two of your own pets together, it just means you have to buy twice the amount of breeding items since it is required that each person in a breeding puts forth one breeding item. The magic rank of the babies, gender, and species are all determined by RNG and information about that can be found here
