Welcome to Gaia! ::

gaia_crown [ YOU ARE A MINIPET ]: Unfortunately for you, in addition to being in entirely unfamiliar yet oddly colourful lands, you are a freaking minipet. Like in the Fear and everything. While students and Horsemen might have suffered these consequences before (see the Alpaca incident), for Hunters, this is something of a new sensation: in fact, they cannot summon their weapons at all, any less than students or horsemen can use their Fear attacks. No, they are EXACTLY, other than a few physical quirks here and there distinguishing themselves from what they SORT OF looked like, a minipet. And there is only one way a minipet fights: by battling. With moves.
- You can choose ANY MINIPET existing on site to be your character as a minipet. You CANNOT choose SE's that do not belong to you, "joke" pets, OR rare elites. Your minipet will NOT evolve so choose a stage carefully. PLEASE DO NOT USE UNRELEASED PETS.

gaia_crown [ MINIPET BATTLING, CHOOSING AN ELEMENT ]: Minipets actually can talk in their own language! They probably sound REMOTELY like their former selves, REMOTELY, though its probably at this point really hard to tell friend from foe. And what does it even matter who is what if they cannot escape from being a minipet?
- To initiate any battle, simple QUOTE YOUR TARGET and roll 1d4. That is pretty much the damage you to your opponent. ALL CHARACTERS HAVE 30 HP. PS: You kind of suck because you're level 1.
- You must also choose an ELEMENTAL ALIGNMENT for your minipet character self. Each ELEMENTAL ALIGNMENT HAS A BONUS:
Light: - Once per battle you can roll 2d4 to heal yourself
Dark: - Once per battle you can use your special attack, rolling 1d6. This is the damage you to do your opponent, and the amount you heal yourself.
Water: - Once per battle you may roll 1d6. If you successfully roll a 1 or 6, you freeze your opponent for two turns and you get TWO extra turns.
Fire: - Once per battle you may roll 1d6. This the amount of EXTRA BURN DAMAGE you to do your opponent for TWO TURNS.
Grass: - Once per battle you may activate your SPECIAL EFFECT and CONFUSE your opponent. The next damage your opponent does hits THEMSELVES instead!
Normal: - Once per battle, you may roll 2d4 as a special attack you do to your opponent.

gaia_crown [ MINIPET BATTLING: Elemental Weaknesses ]: All minipets have an ELEMENTAL WEAKNESS (other than normal). Please note them and calculate the mechanics accordingly.
LIGHT MINIPETS ARE WEAK AGAINST LIGHT MINIPETS. They take 2x damage from light attacks. That means if you are a light and you attack another light minipet, you do x2 damage to your FINAL damage for that turn for each turn you attack them.
DARK MINIPETS get a +1 damage modifier for all damage they do
NORMAL MINIPETS have NO weaknesses
GRASS MINIPETS: ARE WEAK AGAINST FIRE MINIPETS. They take 2x damage from fire minipets
FIRE MINIPETS: ARE WEAK AGAINST WATER MINIPETS. They take 2x damage from water minipets
WATER MINIPETS: ARE WEAK AGAINST GRASS MINPETS. They take 2x damage from Grass minipets.

gaia_crown [ MINIPET BATTLING: How two Battle ]:
- To initiate a battle simply QUOTE YOUR TARGET. You can only attack one target at a time. You get THREE ATTACKS PER IC 24 HOURS TO USE AS YOU PLEASE. That means yes, you could attack target A, B and then C and piss them all off, and then have to wait until 12:00 am PST RESET TIME to attack again.
- A special attack move also counts as one turn and takes up your normal 1d4 melee battle phase
- After quoting your target, either use your special attack (see above)
or proceed to a melee attack. Please note that you can only use your special attack once per IC 24 hours until the 12:00 am PST RESET TIME.
- In the quote to your target please post the damage you to do them so they know!
- AT the bottom of your post also post: Your minipet's current HP, your minipet's ELEMENT (unchangeable once you choose one), number of turns your minipet has used


gaia_crown [ MINIPET BATTLING: BOSSES ]:
- Occasionally a BOSS minipet will appear and attack everyone in the zone! They need to be taken out before you take them out! Boss minipets also have different ELEMENTS so calculate the damage accordingly! Boss minipet mechanics override the general battle rules, so make sure to read those (ie: if you already pvped 3 times an attack turn, you can still attack the boss, with the boss rules)

gaia_crown [ General RP mechanics ]:
- If your minipet PASSES OUT, they return to the starting zone, wherever they arrived at first with full health. It's rather magical, really!
- Even if you are not battling, please quote people you are talking to
- Please post at the bottom of EVERY OF YOUR POSTS even if not battling your minipet's HP, THE NAME OF YOUR CHARACTER, which faction they are, WHAT KIND OF MINIPET THEY ARE (an image would be great), and what ELEMENT they are. Please also note at the TOP OF YOUR POST the place you are at (ie: Main HQ, Adventure Dome, etc etc), you can exit and enter places as you please.
- Of course, you can only interact with people who are in the same AREA of the starting zone as you are (see below), this includes for battling.
- Have fun and good luck! It'll be interesting getting out of this one.... if only you had a clue of what to do! (Psstttt hint: be wary of gm posts)

STARTING ZONE 4

- Luckily for you you are in the floating isle known as THE ASCENDED PLAINS. There are a few places to explore here.

gaia_crown [ THE SWIRLPOOL ]: There swirlpool seems to be a lovely mix of waters, though stepping into them really yields no effect for you. A scareon (1) coughs as you near the pool, telling you to get your dirty paws out of the pool. This pool is Jacking SACRED, why don't you go somewhere else, like the celestial plains or something? (This is a NO PVP zone)

gaia_crown [ Celestial Plains ]: You get to the celestial plains, a brilliant expanse of rolling hills that seems extremely peaceful. You feel zen here, at rest, as if everything could be perfect. Why look! There are little candies on the ground. Maybe you should just eat them all. YEAH CANDIES. MORE CANDIES. EVEN MORE CANDIES. Uh oh you feel kinda sick... you close your eyes to rest....

gaia_crown [ Altar of Sacrifice ]: Your minipet needs to pass by the CELESTIAL PLAINS first. When you open your eyes after eating all these candies - wait where are you?!? A dark, ominous box seems to open in front of you, threatening to swallow you into the temple, as equally dark and ominous music plays. You see some minipets covered in hooded robes drag five minipets (in nets) into the box when - there is a blood curdling shriek - and a puff of smoke as in their place stands a... CANNON CAT. Yeah you need to get out of here FAST.

gaia_crown [ The Circus Tower ]: You need at least one post in the Altar of Sacrifice before moving to the Circus Tower. Fortunately the altar Cannon Cat offers to guide you to their home, what seems to be a long tower in the distance. Upon arriving at the very top, you notice it is actually a circus tent, several feline (and reject feline)-like characters ready to entertain you with a show. The show's pretty good, the music isn't bad but, what is most notable is the view from above. When asked, a circus cat informs you that the city center takes two days west to travel to, and will probably reveal all of your questions.
