[u:daf8f427f8][b:daf8f427f8]News & Updates[/b:daf8f427f8][/u:daf8f427f8][/size:daf8f427f8]

[b:daf8f427f8]NEW THREAD[/size:daf8f427f8][/b:daf8f427f8]

Gyaaaaah, can't update the topic. >_<

I won the fa'e auction! View the commission thread that helped me do so:
http://meredith.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pt=1087723787&p=128664534#128664534

6/07/04 - This is just a friendly reminder that I do require everyone to post in their diaries at least once a month. As that is all of TWELVE POSTS A YEAR, please make sure you do so. I've had to send out several notices of late, and while these are just warnings, please remember that I will only give you a warning once. The second time you fail to post for a month (and I kindly give you 2-3 days leeway in addition to that) there is no warning and your fairy will die. If you feel once a month is too much to ask, please switch your fairy to Sig-only. Thank you.

5/26/04 - New cert design! I finally got rid of that clunk old boxy abomination. You can view the new cert on several of our fairies and our newest adult. I'm working on giving all fairies the new cert, but some will require image madoification (drawing in areas I originally ignored) before they can be changed.
[b:daf8f427f8]TO ALL OWNERS:[/b:daf8f427f8] The location and extension of your cert may have changed. Please grab the new official location from your diary. I will NOT be changing over current juveniles to the new cert; you'll have to wait until they're adults. Old certs will be deleted eventually.

5/08/04 - I've made my decisions concerning the staff! First, Aylinn will be our RP manager, keeping track of your journaling and reporting your movements to me. Second, our very own kamtrouble snagged the position of compiler. I like her formatting. ^^ So treat them respectfully! They're staff now! I'll do a more official update about it all later.

[u:daf8f427f8][b:daf8f427f8]The Story[/b:daf8f427f8][/u:daf8f427f8][/size:daf8f427f8]
[quote:daf8f427f8]There exist in this world magical creatures, born from flowers, with strange and wondrous ways. These beings are the mythical feien, or fairies. Miniature winged folk who live but a few years, they bring to their owners luck and happiness.

But the feien are in decline. Magic has all but disappeared from the world, and to survive, the fairies must bond their souls to those of humans.

Long a friend of the fairies, I was visited by the great and wise fairy Juli. He was a leader among his kind, one of the last fairies alive without a human bond, but his thoughts were troubled. Without help, the fairies would soon disappear. He needed someone to help him find special humans to ensure the survival of their race. He asked me.

Of course I agreed. A world without fairies would be too sad. Juli handed to me a single blossom, a black lily, and instructed me to care for it, telling me that this fairy was very special.

With only those instructions to go by, I put the flower in a vase of water and set it in the sun, but the bloom wilted slightly. Apparently this flower didn't like the sun. When I moved it to a cool, shady place it returned to its original luster. I watched it for several days, barely able to keep my eyes off it. Then, around dusk of the sixth day, the flower began to glow with a dark energy. It trembled and shook in its vase, as if straining to do something. Amazed, I watched it closely, and less than a minute later a little black ball spilled out of this tiny maelstrom of energy and into my waiting hand.

Ever so slowly, the tiny black ball unfurled its wings and stood. It was a fairy! He, for it seemed to be male in form, stood a mere four inches, with black wings resembling a hummingbird's attached to his back. His pale skin was covered in tiny black markings and his little dark eyes glinted in the faint light. "My name is Corvus," he said simply, looking at me.

"I'm Emperial," I replied. His little face looked at me incredulously.

"Emperial? What sort of a name is that?" he demanded.

And so I met Corvus, who quickly revealed himself as a smart-mouthed, grumpy sort of fellow with a vicious and sarcastic sense of humor. It was love at first insult. Corvus quickly explained to me that he was a summoner fairy, a very special type. His magic enabled fairy plants to bloom, resulting in the births of new fairies, but he was still a new fairy and would need some time to develop his full powers and completely bond to me.

For two weeks we talked, watched TV, and got to know one another. Then, during an episode of MASH, Corvus announced it was time. His body was enveloped in the same black energy that had surrounded his flower at his birth, and then he shot up in height to a full six and a half inches, now a fully-grown fairy.

Not more than a day later, Juli returned with another gift. He presented Corvus and I with a fairy plant already sporting five blossoms. Now, we had to find five humans to raise them...[/quote:daf8f427f8]


[u:daf8f427f8][b:daf8f427f8]What Are They?[/b:daf8f427f8][/u:daf8f427f8][/size:daf8f427f8]

The Feien are fairies, plain and simple. They have long lived in this world secretly, hiding from the onslaught of industry and development to the point where few now remember them. If they are ever to return, they need our help!

[b:daf8f427f8]General Info:[/b:daf8f427f8] All feien are unique. No two are alike! Each has a different marking style, hair style, and adult image. Though they appear male or female, they are in actuality genderless. There's no real limit on how many Feien you can own, but be warned! If you have too many and neglect one, it might grow weak, or even die! They need human energy to survive, and if you have too many, their lives may be in danger!

Feien stand between four and nine inches when fully grown. They're all as intelligent as any humans (moreso if you ask me), capable of speaking the languages of their owners and their own fairy tongue from birth. (This is partially due to the bonding process.) While too small to perform great physical tasks, they all possess magic and are capable of helping you tend to other pets or doing small chores around the household. Some fairies are more powerful than others and can cast defense or attack spells.

Warning! Don't let your little feien near large predatory pets! Feien can (and probably will) die if they are chewed up or eaten! If a pet attacks them, they will defend using any spells in their arsenal, and can wound or kill other pets. Either way, please make sure any pets you own won't hurt your feien.

Feien have several stages of life, as follows:

[img:daf8f427f8]http://www.drowtales.com/galleries/album29/cblms.gif[/img:daf8f427f8]
[b:daf8f427f8]Blossom:[/b:daf8f427f8] [b:daf8f427f8]Unique Stage![/b:daf8f427f8][/color:daf8f427f8] All fairies are born from flowers with the aid of a summoner fairy. These blossoms are infused with a fairy?s magic and resemble the fairy that will emerge. Fairy blossoms can be snipped from the plant and sold or traded. Fairies emerge from their blossoms after 4 - 10 days.
[b:daf8f427f8]About Blossoms:[/b:daf8f427f8] There are a few things you can tell by looking at a blossom. First, the fairy's color. The most dominant color of the flower is the fairy's elemental color. Hair or eye colors may also appear. Sometimes you can tell what the fairy's wings will look like, or get a glimmer of their personality. Fairy blossoms don't require any care-- you don't need to put them in a vase or anything-- but some will prefer sunny places, some prefer dark places, some will want water. If you can figure out what your blossom prefers, it might benefit your unborn fairy!

[img:daf8f427f8]http://www.drowtales.com/galleries/album29/cjuvs.gif[/img:daf8f427f8]
[b:daf8f427f8]Juvenile:[/b:daf8f427f8] This young fairy has emerged from its bloom and started the bonding process. It can be traded, but doing so will stunt its growth into adulthood. Its genetic traits are starting to show and it has a personality. Juveniles range from 3" to 5" in height. After 2 - 3 weeks with a single human, it will evolve into its adult form.
[b:daf8f427f8]About Juveniles:[/b:daf8f427f8] All fairies are born with full knowledge of speech and personalities. They all have the same base image, but each one has unique markings and hair. You'll get a pretty good idea of what your adult fairy will look like from its juvenile form. You'll also get your fairy's first stats, which increase or decrease as a fairy ages, depending on how your roleplay. Please be careful with your juvenile fairy, as they are just learning to fly.

[img:daf8f427f8]http://www.drowtales.com/galleries/f/f0.gif[/img:daf8f427f8]
[b:daf8f427f8]Adult:[/b:daf8f427f8] [b:daf8f427f8]Unique Stage![/color:daf8f427f8][/b:daf8f427f8] This fairy has grown up and can now breed. All visible genes have made themselves known. An adult fairy cannot be sold or traded, as fairies bond to their masters for life. A fully-grown fairy stands anywhere from four to nine inches in height. Fairies live for three to seven years (barring accidents or abuse!), after which they turn into gemstones.
[b:daf8f427f8]About Adults:[/b:daf8f427f8] Every adult fairy has an unique image. They have the same hair and markings as their juvenile forms, but differ in a variety of other ways. Depending on how/if you roleplayed with the fairy as a juvenile, the adult form may have additional bonuses. All adult fairies (barring mutations) can fly, usually by a combination of their wings and magic.

[b:daf8f427f8]Gemstone:[/b:daf8f427f8] When a fairy dies, its returns its energy to the universe, leaving behind a beautiful magical gemstone. This gemstone can be set into jewelry for the owner to wear, protecting him or her with the love of their fairy, or given to another fairy, changing that fairy.
[b:daf8f427f8]About Gemstones:[/b:daf8f427f8] Living fairies can merge with gemstones with undetermined results, or you can keep your fairy's gemstone. If a fairy died due to neglect, the gemstone reverts to the store, where it will be sold. In other words, if you want to keep your fairy's gemstone, roleplay with it and treat it well!

[b:daf8f427f8]Immortal:[/b:daf8f427f8] There is a great forbidden magic which can allow fairies to live forever... but at a price. Immortal fairies cannot breed and suffer mutations from embracing this unnatural process. No one knows where this magic is to be found, but a truly determined fairy and owner might be able to uncover it...


[u:daf8f427f8][b:daf8f427f8]Roleplaying[/b:daf8f427f8][/u:daf8f427f8][/size:daf8f427f8]
If you just want your fairy to stick around in your sig looking pretty, there's no need to roleplay. If you want to breed your fairy or cause mutations or try to find the secret to immortality, you'll have to roleplay. Roleplaying fairies gives fairies lots of advantages, like increased stats and special abilities. You have to put effort into it, though, or bad things can happen...
[b:daf8f427f8]Anya! has generously allowed me to use her diary thread concept! Visit her incredible Fa'e Children, the original diary thread fairies![/b:daf8f427f8]
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT ROLEPLAY WITH SIG-ONLY BLOOMS. That would be why they're called "Sig-only" and "Non-RP" feien. Hopefully this clear up any confusion.


[u:daf8f427f8][b:daf8f427f8]Trading, Selling, and Auctioning:[/b:daf8f427f8][/u:daf8f427f8][/size:daf8f427f8]
Fairies may only be traded or sold in their blossom or juvenile form. Once they are adults, they bond with their human permanently and will not leave until they die. You may trade or sell your blossom or juvenile feien at your discretion, but you MUST inform the shop. Fairies will not emerge from blossoms or bond to unauthorized persons! Trading or selling a juvenile fairy will stunt its growth. Feien must spend 2 - 3 weeks with a single owner in order to mature.


[u:daf8f427f8][b:daf8f427f8]A Little History[/b:daf8f427f8][/u:daf8f427f8][/size:daf8f427f8]
Feien are based on the fairies from my old online comic, There Be Elves, with the notable exception that these fairies can breed. I came up with the term "feien" because I didn't want to use fairy -- too generic -- and I didn't want a word too close to Anya!'s Fa'e Children. So, after some dicitonary scrounging, I found a word, "fay," which means to join or fit closely together. It comes from the Middle English "feien." Since it's similar to "fae/fairy" and since these fairies are bonding with owners, I thought it made the perfect word choice!

Current base custom price: 9000g
Value of the current month's letter or items in place of gold: 4000g

[quote:35c5c44d2a][b:35c5c44d2a]Sale Details: read very carefully![/b:35c5c44d2a] Flat sales happen on the ides of the month. A time will be posted for the flat sale. Don't PM me asking. For the starting of any sale, [b:35c5c44d2a]I always go by server time[/b:35c5c44d2a]; there is no "go" post. It will be first-come, first-serve for each bloom, meaning the first person who asks for bloom #1 gets it, even if ten people already posted requests for blooms #2 and #3. Editing your request (to change which bloom you requested, for example) will forfeit your request. If you wish to arrange alternate payment (anything besides gold or current letters/items), you must do so at least 15 minutes before the sale begins and have my permission to do so. Asking to buy blooms more than five minutes before the sale starts will result in a three-day ban. If you don't use the request form, your request will be ignored. You may only include one request in a post. Flat sale blooms are only available to first time owners, though anyone may buy them. (In other words, if you already own a feien, you can buy one as a gift for someone else, but you cannot keep it yourself.) Anyone may order a custom. [b:35c5c44d2a]PMs and unsolicited trades will be ignored.[/b:35c5c44d2a][/quote:35c5c44d2a]

1. Complete this: ~____ Fairies~
2. We have a special affiliation with another shop when it comes to pets for the fairies. What shop is it and what's the special deal?

Your purchase includes all three stages of feien, two of which are totally unique, the adult stage being customizable based on roleplaying. Your feien will have a genetic code, basic personality (for you to build on), and a set of stats which can be improved/decreased based on roleplaying or purchasing accessories. If you are roleplaying and do not have a diary thread, one will be created for you. You can keep track of your fairy's progress and possessions on your thread.

Please note that your flower will not have the word "sample" on it. It will instead have your name and the words "Feien Fairy Bloom."

[u:35c5c44d2a][b:35c5c44d2a]Custom Slots[/b:35c5c44d2a][/u:35c5c44d2a]

Fairies can be custom-summoned for you for the price of [b:35c5c44d2a]8000g[/b:35c5c44d2a]. It takes a lot more effort to summon up a fairy with specific attributes!

[b:35c5c44d2a]Rare Attribute:[/b:35c5c44d2a] If you would like to introduce a rare attribute (see list below), it costs [b:35c5c44d2a]2000g[/b:35c5c44d2a] per rare attribute. You can have a max of three rare attributes per custom fairy. Rare attributes include colors not listed, feathery wings, and numerous other things. (I don't want to say too much!) There's a small list of rare attributes below the form. For more, PM me!

[b:35c5c44d2a]Mutation:[/b:35c5c44d2a] For [b:35c5c44d2a]1000g[/b:35c5c44d2a] more, you can add a rare mutation to your fairy! Be warned! It's random, and there's a small chance (1/25) it'll result in infertility. You can only have one mutation, and it may screw up part of your customization. For example, if you wanted striped markings and the mutation landed on marking type, you won't get striped markings... Also be warned that if you wanted a rare attribute and the mutation landed on that gene, you might not get the rare attribute! Combine mutations and rare attributes at your own risk! For more info on mutations, see Genetic Research.

The difference? Rare attibutes are introduced genes that are otherwise only available randomly, where mutations are new genes.

Even if you specify every detail of an existing fairy, your fairy will be different.

Unless you want to pay for rare attributes, you may only choose from the options listed. Feel free to specify as much or as little as you like! Anything not specified is left up to the artist's discretion. NO ACCESSORIES. Accessories must be purchased separately and roleplayed into effect.

[u:35c5c44d2a][b:35c5c44d2a]Rares and Commons[/b:35c5c44d2a][/u:35c5c44d2a]
To have an attribute go from rare to common, at least four fairies must possess the attribute. When you order a custom, you are paying to not only have a fairy which matches your specifications (versus being random) but also for the privilege of having an attribute before it becomes common, if it ever does. There's also a state for attributes known as overcommon -- if too many fairies have something, it will cost 3K to get that attribute. You have been warned. Overcommon is generally defined as occuring more than five times more than the least common common. So if one fairy has red hair and six have black, black becomes overcommon. Dual colors count twice, once for each color.

Feien require the help of a summoner fairy to breed. The only summoner fairy at the moment is Corvus. Using magic, the summoner fairy joins the essences of the two breeding fairies with a plant, resulting in 1-5 fairy blooms. Fairies look male and female but are actually genderless, meaning you can breed any two fairies so long as there is love present. If the fairies do not get along, breeding will not work! Love doesn't mean just true love. Fairies who are very good friends can breed as well. Feien may breed a maximum of once every month.

Be warned... the process of summoning has been known to alter fairies!

BREED RESPONSIBLY. We are not responsible for any pairings that result in zero blooms! It's highly recommended you do a genetic profile before breeding. Our experts will be able to identify any factors affecting bloom numbers for you.

[b:8223496bea]Natural Breeding:[/b:8223496bea] 12000g. 1-4 blossoms, it's up to chance! It doesn't matter who pays the breeding fee so long as both fairy owners agree to the breeding -- and both fairies! Please note that breeding is also subject to agreement by the management. You have to earn the right to breed.

[b:8223496bea]Pollination:[/b:8223496bea] Increase the total number of blooms by one for 5000g extra. This can potentially give you 5 offspring blooms, and increases the chance of mutation.

If using BB feien, it's 2-4 blooms naturally or 3-5 with Pollination. If using Bb, it's 2-3 blooms or 3-4 with Pollination. If using bb, it's 1-3 blooms or 2-4 with Pollination.

Breeding results:

[*:8223496bea] 1, 3, 5 blooms - You must decide beforehand which fairy owner will receive the bloom in the event of odd blooms, or agree to sell it and split your portion of the profits.[/list gaia_up 8223496bea]

[b:8223496bea]Selling/Auctioning/Trading Offspring Blooms:[/b:8223496bea]
Your feien blooms are yours to do with as you please, but there are certain rules for selling, auctioning, or trading.

If you wish to sell, the base sale price is the current flat sale price. Any amount in excess of this price is considered "profit." The shop takes 50% of any profit. If the flatsale price is 6000g and you sell the bloom for 10000g, the profit is 4000g and the shop takes 2000g. For odd blooms, the shop prefers the remaining 50% be split between the breeders.

For auctions, the rules are the same. In the event that the high bid is an item or item(s), profit will be calculated using the GEN minimum at time of auction close (for uncommons/rares) or sellback price (for common/some uncommons).

Why? Because the feien are fairly popular, and the person doing the work is me. Given what feien fetch in auction, the flat sale and breeding prices are comparatively low. Somehow, it doesn't seem fair to me for somebody else to be reaping a huge profit off my work, so all I ask for is what I consider to be a fair share of the profits for my work.

Trading your feien bloom is free if trading for any pet worth 6K or less. If the pet you are trading for is worth more, there may be a small trading fee.


[b:8223496bea]Bloom Preservation:[/b:8223496bea]
If, for some reason, a bloom needs to be prevented from blooming, special stasis magic can be used to stunt its growth. This gives more time for auctioning or trading, or can just be used so a fairy blooms on a certain day. It costs 500g to place a stasis spell on a bloom. Once removed, the bloom will instantly blossom into a juvenile fairy.


[u:8223496bea][b:8223496bea]Summoner Fairies[/b:8223496bea][/u:8223496bea]
Summoner fairies are the basis of fairy creation and procreation. In the future, a new summoner fairy may appear if someone shows up who wants to create new feien or do breeding. This requires artistic skill, since you'll need to be creating unique images for the adult feien. If you have any interest in doing this, please contact me privately.

Fairies, though they do not reproduce sexually, possess genetic codes. There are 26 genetic markers determining every detail of their appearance. A fairy's genetic code is a SECRET that can only be revealed by careful testing. Testing is recommended before breeding, as there may be genetic factors that affect how many blossoms result.

[b:dafb31eefe]Genetic Testing:[/b:dafb31eefe] 2000g
Your fairy's genetic code will be revealed to you. Any factors affecting blooming will be noted. You may choose to reveal your code to others or keep it secret. Of course, the code is just a string of letters and numbers. In order to unravel it's meaning, extensive research is required.
On file: Corvus, Selene, Gogol, Arturo, Tosten, Ares, Sunil, Seamus, Luca, Yeande, Aria, Heiko, (Maquinar), (Quantel), (Shux), (Celaien), (Nigel), (Tahki), (Merrimack)

Here is Corvus's genetic code as an example:
Corvus: AaBB**C4c4d1d4EeFfGGH5h5IiJjK5k5llmmnnOoppQqRRSsttuuVvWWxxyyZ10Z10
The ** indicates a special mutation on the second gene. If you breed mutations, it can result in a new gene.

[b:dafb31eefe]Genetic Research:[/b:dafb31eefe] 15000/10000g acquired
Research is very costly. At present, 8/26 markers have been revealed. In order to reveal new markers, surveys of fairies must be taken. 1000g of every Genetic Test and 2000g from each attempted breeding goes towards research. You can also donate to research to speed up the process. (Small note: the price does not continually increase; some genes simply cost more to unravel than others due to complexity.)

[b:dafb31eefe]About Genes:[/b:dafb31eefe]
There are three types of gene.
Primary:[/color:dafb31eefe] an appearance gene that shows up in juvenile form
Secondary:[/color:dafb31eefe] an appearance gene that shows up in adult form
Tertiary:[/color:dafb31eefe] a gene that influences a statistic or is otherwise invisible

[b:dafb31eefe]Mutations:[/b:dafb31eefe]
Every so often, certain genes may mutate into new forms. These can be as simple as a new set of color genes to something much, much bigger... Mutations can occur when ordering a custom with the mutation option or as a natural result of breeding. Sometimes they just occur randomly.

[b:dafb31eefe]Revealed Markers:[/b:dafb31eefe]
[list:dafb31eefe][*:dafb31eefe] A[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Primary) This first letter indicates a fairy's gender appearance. AA is female and Aa is male. This is the only gene which is independent of the parents, as it is determined randomly. Mutations on this gene cause further mutations, but often with disastrous results.
[*:dafb31eefe] B[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Tertiary) This gene determines a fairy's magical power. BB indicates strong magic, and gives +1 blooms when breeding (not cumulative). Bb is average magical ability, and bb is weak magic ability, which gives -1 blooms when breeding (again, not cumulative). Breeding a BB with a bb cancels out the modifiers. This gene cannot naturally mutate, but will mutate due to inbreeding or overbreeding. It also has a special double mutation form which results in summoner fairies, who are exceptional magically but cannot reproduce at all. The B gene also controls life expectancy. The stronger the natural magic, the shorter the lifespan. Furthermore, even weak fairies may earn a magic stat of 10 through dedicated roleplaying.
[*:dafb31eefe] C#[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Primary) This marker determines the prellan (fairy marking/elemental) color. The following colors are on record: C1=blue, C2=red, C3=yellow, C4=black, C5=white. If two different recessive colors are combined, the fairy ends up with dual-tone coloration. If two different dominant genes are combined, the result is a new color. Mutations on this gene cannot occur randomly.
[*:dafb31eefe] D#[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Primary) This gene determines a fairy's skin tone. Mutations can occur on this gene, but are presently unknown. Known genomes: D1=pale, D2=medium, D3=tan, D4=oriental, D6=medium brown
[*:dafb31eefe] E[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Primary/Secondary) This gene determines ear length and style. Currently, EE=long, Ee=medium/average and ee=short. EE and Ee appear similar in juvenile form, but ee is recognizable, therefore this gene is part primary, part secondary. Mutations can occur on this gene but are presently unknown.
[*:dafb31eefe] F[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Secondary) This gene affects a feien's fingers and toes. All feien in juvenile form appear to have normal digits, but when they hit adult stage, they may be revealed as having claws or webbed fingers and toes. Mutations can occur on this gene but are presently unknown. Known genomes: F=normal, f1=webbed, f2=claws
[*:dafb31eefe] G[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Primary) This gene determined the type of prellan. Mutations can occur on this gene but are presently unknown. Known genomes: GG=squared, Gg=stripe, gg=round.
[*:dafb31eefe] H[/color:dafb31eefe] - (Primary) This gene determines a fairy's hair color. A combination of dominant genes will result in a new color, and a combination of recessive genes will result in dual colors. Mutations can occur on this gene but are presently unknown. Known genomes: H1=blue, H2=red, H4=green, H5=black, H6=white[/list gaia_up dafb31eefe]

Here are some things you can buy for your fairies to help in raising them, or just for fun! Feel free to make your own and I'll sell them here (with profits going to you). Alternately, you can make suggestions for things to offer, and if I do yours, you'll get one free! Do keep in mind that fairies are four to nine inches tall, though. sweatdrop Please note that these items are only useful to those owners who are roleplaying. They do not affect sig fairies.

Most of the accessories here do things, such as modifying your fairy's stats or adult appearance. In order to modify something, though, you have to do more than just buy the accessory! Your fairy has to use it!

How you use an accessory is limited only by your imagination.[/size:a0c5db0018]

Items from other shops will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. If you want the item to affect your feien's adult image, there may be a surcharge depending on the item. If you want it for roleplaying, keep in mind your feien's size, and again, there may be surcharge for its use. Items from most shops won't work due to being human sized. No shrinking of items is allowed to bend this rule. It's much preferable that you make your own items.

Stats

Every fairy, both sig and roleplaying, has a set of stats. They are all on a scale of one to ten. These stats are as follows:

STR - Strength - brute force
DEX - Dexterity - reaction time, physical control
STA - Stamina - endurance, constitution
WIS - Wisdom - depth of thought, patience
INT - Intelligence - quickness of thought
CHA - Charisma - charm, people skills
SPD - Speed - movement throught space; flying or running
LCK - Luck - tendency for good or bad things to happen

All stats are rated on a scale of 1 - 10. You can increase or decrease stats depending on how you roleplay. (More details below!)

1: no skill in this area
2-3: below average
4-6: average
7-9: above average
10: super awesome!

When roleplaying and buying accessories, you can choose to play to your fairy's natural strengths or try to compensate for weaknesses...

Diaries

Once again, many thanks to Anya! for her permission to use this concept!

For those participating in the roleplaying, it's important to have a diary thread. Here you can keep track of your fairy's possessions and stats. For examples of diary threads, see Anya!'s Fa'e Children.

Your official fairy information will be in a post by me! I will modify this post with updates and changes. I recommend you reserve as many posts as you can when you first get your diary! At least the first page or so.

Any roleplaying, diary entries, and story writing will be done by you on the thread. You can also keep track of other pets and things on your diary thread. It's a nice sig alternative!

If you already have a diary thread, your feien can be added to the existing thread if desired. I'll simply add a post to your thread. You'll have to remember to check it for changes. smile


Brief Notes
- Feel free to link to your image in your sig. Direct-link so you can see your fairy evolve! (Bandwidth is not a problem.)
- For Photo Albums, please save the images and upload to your own server. I'll only save your most current fairy image on my server.
- When you post something in your diary, please state so on the main thread! I check all diaries anyway, but I might miss something and it'd be nice to let the other owners know you've been doing something. ^^
- You don't have to post daily! Post as little or as often as you like. I would suggest trying to post at least on a weekly basis, though.
- Diary topic can be changed. Just ask! (And make sure your topic will fit in the alloted space.)
- Not every diary post will result in an OP notice. If you don't get one, don't worry! You're probably doing just fine. smile


The Official Post (OP)
The Official Post is where you will find updates and special events, as well as your inventory of things from the shop and your fairy's stats. Check the OP often!


Starting Off: The Feien Bloom
Well, so you've paid for your feien, now you have this lovely, one-of-a-kind flower. What do you with it?

If you choose to do nothing, your feien will emerge happy as can be. If, however, you'd like to get to know your feien better as a flower, you can try to find out what the flower likes!

Variables: light, darkness, heat, cold, room temp, water, no water, dirt, no dirt, more...?

To experiment, just tell me, either by posting "I'm going to try putting my feien in the sunlight/shade/water/etc." and waiting for me to post back telling you what (if anything) happened, OR PM me with what you want to do, I'll PM you back the results, and you can write it out yourself. I hold you to the honor system - if you PM me an action and it has a negative effect, I expect you to stick with it!

For experimenting, your feien may have bonuses when it hits juvenile stage... or there may be downsides...

Please note! Fairy blossoms subsist on elements. They do not need to eat! They don't even have mouths. sweatdrop


Part Two: the Juvenile Stage
Your young fairy has just emerged into the world. S/he may be confused or disoriented at first, but thanks to your caring during the bloom stage, the fairy will already have a spiritual anchor: you!

Your juvenile fairy has full speech and reading capabilities and a personality. You are given a base personality, three to six words that describe your fairy, which you may build upon at your leisure. You can write up a longer personality description at this point if you like.

At this point, you get to see what your fairy looks like! Things like markings and colors will be visible, but your fairy's growth is not complete and some traits don't appear until the adult stage, so please note that there may yet be a few surprises in store for you!

A juvenile fairy will still be able to subsist on elements, but will probably start wanting some tidbits of actual food. Just a bite or two from your dinner will be fine. You might discover they have favorite foods or music or anything... at this stage, their preferences and actions are up to you! They have become your character to play with. You're still expected to hold to the base personality, though, and anything too out of character might be penalized. (Like if you got a shy fairy and roleplayed him as the loudmouthed life of the party.) Personality development is, of course, allowed, over time. (People change over time, and likewise do fairies.)

You can basically consider your juvenile fairy to be your own character at this point. You can also start buying items. Buying items and then roleplaying with them can change your fairy's stats or adult appearance. Please note that any appearance changes due to items will not appear until adult stage!

A juvenile fairy will also begin to uncover its magical abilities, a process that continues into adulthood. All fairies start off with the appropriate 0-level spells, as listed in the spellbook. Roleplaying unlocks more spells. To unlock spells, you don't have to roleplay your fairy researching new spells (though you can), the spells will unlock over time with roleplaying of any sort.


All Grown Up: the Adult Stage
Congratulations, your fairy is an adult! At this point, a fairy has a totally unique image. All visible genetic traits appear. If you roleplayed any items on during juvenile stage, they will appear on the adult fairy. If not, your fairy will have its default image.

At this point, fairies require food. They can no longer subsist on elements.

Adult fairies may breed with other adults of any gender (remember, gender is only apparent, not actual). In order to do so, they must have a close bond with with other fairy. This can be romantic love or simply a love between friends. The desire for two fairies to breed must be roleplayed in order for me to give permission. It can't just be one fairy walks up to the other and says, "Let's unf!" Breeding is not to be taken lightly. (Especially given the price tag.)

Concerning adult images, you can request an image update once every two months. This will remove any items your fairy is no longer using and add new items s/he may have acquired. The first four image changes are free. That's enough for eight months if you change every two months. After that, there will be a fee, as yet undetermined. (It won't be excessive.)

Feien Sex? - No, sorry, they don't have the necessary bits for anything besides snogging. Their erogenous zones are where the ears meet the skull, where the wings meet the back, the mouth and the back of the knee.

Quests and Special Items? - Your adult feien may receive a quest or a special item. These are rewards for good roleplaying. There are a number of ways to complete quests, and we can discuss which is the right one for you and your fairy when the time comes. You might get a quest to complete items, write a story, complete a task, etc. Quests can yield special items or stat increases. You can also get special items just by good roleplaying without questing. And, of course, there's the ultimate quest for immortality...

Feien Death? - Yes, your feien can die, either in an accident or due to old age. It takes a long time. Your feien may die prematurely if you have an RP feien and you neglect it. What constitutes neglect? Not posting in your diary for two one-month periods will cause energy starvation. (Bad way to go.) Feien can also die by being eaten, crushed, impaled, severed, or even by suicide. Don't worry too much about this -- I won't run around looking for chances to kill your fairy. If, however, you commit some sort of crime (like art theft) or misbehave extremely, you might very well have your feien killed and the resulting gemstone repossessed by the shop. But we're all nice folk here, so no need to worry!

Help! My feien is losing points like mad! There are a few reasons this may be happening. The most common is roleplaying against your feien's personality. If your roleplaying doesn't seem to reflect the set personality traits, watch the points drop a lot. The second reason is lack of roleplaying a stat. Regardless of personality traits, if your feien has high wisdom and acts foolish or immature, their wisdom will decrease until it's at the level you're playing at. If you have the high stat, use it or lose it! Usually, though, you'll find the stat is replaced by points somewhere else... The third reason is lack of interaction. If I don't see you around the thread much, your feien's stats will drop, generally in charisma or luck. Just dropping by once won't be enough to raise the stat back; either involve yourself more often or accept the loss or switch to Sig-only. Finally, the fourth and last reason is godmoding or other roleplaying gaffes. If your feien does something that's impossible or too powerful for the feien, stats will drop. If you suddenly pull a wacky stunt like afflicting your feien with a wasting disease, stats will drop.

But I'd like to do such-and-such with my feien! Wonderful! PM me and tell me what such-and-such is. If it's a good plot idea, I'll give it a go-ahead. If it's not, well, back to the drawing board!

I do a lot a roleplaying, but my stats don't increase much? Feel free to tell me, and point me in the right direction. I do miss things. Also consider that you might want to select a few spells for your feien to learn. I generally award stat points for specific roleplaying actions, like practicing some skill. Spells and abilities, however, can be awarded in a number of situations, even for just regular posting, and are much easier to get.

I'm going to be gone a while, but I don't want my feien switched to Sig-only! Tell me. I can always help you if you tell me. I'm willing to put your feien on hiatus, effectively freezing him/her until your return. I will not put your feien on indefinite hiatus, though, and I will not extend a hiatus more than three weeks longer than your initial request. (Furthermore, requesting hiatuses for periods longer than three months may very well result in my asking you to switch to Sig-only instead.)

[*:c3674a29cb] Not bothering to read at least the first post. I put a lot of time and effort into writing all this info and developing the feien (several months, in fact), the least you can do is read it. Reading the posted information is the most basic requirement for owning a feien.
[*:c3674a29cb] Including a dozen quotes in replies.
[*:c3674a29cb] PMing me about anything on this first page earns you a week ban.
[*:c3674a29cb] Retracting an order or bid earns a one month ban.
[*:c3674a29cb] Attempting to solicit donations from me will earn you a minimum of two months. I worked hard to accumulate my wealth. I'm not interested in helping out lazy folk. I may ban folk permanently based on this rule.

The Spellbook

Fairy spells are classified by element. Your fairy's element and magical power determine what spells s/he may cast. Some spells are independent of element or magic ability and rely on other attributes.

Choosing Spells
You can choose one spell per point of magic ability, with an extra point if your magic ability is 9 and two extra points for 10. Each spell has a level number, corresponding to the number your fairy must have in magic ability to cast the spell. Spells with 0 are free and do not count towards spell total. So, a fairy with a magic level of 3 can pick three spells level three or under from his/her element selection or the non-element list.

Though you get to pick your spells freely and at your leisure, spells are only awarded with roleplaying. Any unavailable spells you've picked will show up in a fairy's spell list in parentheses. Try to pick spells that actually work with your fairy and do good roleplaying to unlock your spells. (You don't have to roleplay your fairy learning the spell, just roleplay normally and the spell will eventually be yours.) Please post your spell request lists on the thread or PM them to me.

For stat-based spells, the level is the stat value required. Stat-based spells do not require a point of magical ability to learn. They are totally independent of magic ability. (They still require roleplaying to unlock.)

Practice and study of spells might have benefits...

Known Spell Types: Non-Elemental, Earth, Air, Water, Light, Darkness, Heat, Cold, Sky, Heart, Metal, Time, Ice, Life, Lightning, Shadow, Stat-Based

Elements listed in parenthesis are those which a fairy of the element can pick with Panelemental. So, "Earth (Darkness, Heat, Metal)" means nd Earth fairy with Panelemental can also learn spells from the Darkness, Heat, and Metal elements, but at a cost. See the Panelemental Skill (under Stat-based) for more information.

Non-Elemental Spells
These are general spells that any fairy can cast regardless of their element. These spells are based on magical ability.

Quote:
0: Flight - Perform aerial acrobatics regardless of wing size! This spell allows fairies to propel themselves through the air at will. Can only be cast on self.
1: Magic Detection - Sense nearby magical objects or creatures.
2: Minor Healing - Set cuts and bruises healing faster.
2: Cure - Cures poisons and infections.
3: Levitation - Gently levitate self or others with this handy little spell. Uses MAG instead of STR for lifting, length of lifting dependent on STA. Moves objects slowly and surely. Not combat-useful, as can be easily escaped.
4: Enhanced Bond - Fairy is especially attuned to their owner's thoughts and feelings.
5: Magic Hand - Lift small objects or strike foe from afar with this invisible hand. Magic hands have a strength of 5 and dexterity equal to their caster's.
5: Heal - Heal cuts and bruises on the spot, and improve the condition of more serious wounds, speeding up the healing process.
6: Mark Object - Place a magical rune on an object marking its ownership. The fairy who placed the marker will always be able to find the object.
7: Free Bonding - Fairy can bond with up to three other fairies, pets, or individuals. Note that these bonds are permanent, and are not Enhanced.

8: Growth - Fairy increases 50% in size for a brief amount of time, about two minutes. (Increases with practice.)
9: Teleport - A short-distance teleportation spell. Move self or object up to ten feet instantaneously. With practice, destination can be controlled.
10: Mimic Spell - (Requires Magic Dectection) By watching another feien perform a spell, the spell can be duplicated within 30 seconds of the original casting. The feien trying to mimic must have Magic Detection nad have been actively paying attention to the spell. The mimic spell's effects will be up to half as strong as the original spell.


Earth Spells (Darkness, Heat, Metal)

Quote:
0: Stoneskin - Skin turns hard, temporarily increasing STA by 5, but decreasing SPD by 2 and DEX by 1.
1: Sinkhole - Slip safely into any sort of earth and back out again. A bit like swimming through dirt. Easily deposit items under the ground or hide.
2: Mud Poultice - Cast this spell on a bit of damp earth. The damp earth can then be applied to wounds, removing poisons and infections and speeding up healing.
3: Stoneshaping - Mold hard earth and small stones into new shapes. Results depend on DEX. Only works on small amounts of earth and stone, enough to fit in a fairy's cupped hands.
4:
5: Dirt Clod - Summons up a handful of nice, black dirt.
6:
7: Natural Barrier - Mud rises up from the ground, encasing the fairy or target in a cocoon. The barrier dries instantly, forming a hard, protective wall around the target. Can encase something up to a square foot in volume.

Stat-Based Spells

Quote:
Strength
8: Giant Strength - Gives a +2 to strength for a few second, enabling a fairy to perform feats of great strength.
10: Berserk - Adds a temporary +3 to strength, -1 to wisdom and intelligence. A fairy under the influence of this spell is especially dangerous in hand-to-hand combat, uncovering hidden reserves of power and doing more damage. Can only be cast on self.

Dexterity
1-2: Clumsy - This feien drops everything and trips a lot. With a bit of thought, they can cause another to temporarily be a klutz, too.
8: Mend - Joins two objects of similar material together. Simply hold them together and cast. Useful for fixing things. Can also be used for healing.
10: Form - Join two objects of any nonliving material together. Useful for creating new objects.

Stamina
8: Resist - High fortitude enables you to withstand spells, attacks, bad weather, and any other force that might physically affect a body better.
10: Regeneration - Wounds heal and energy recovers more quickly.

Wisdom
1-2: Foolhardy - This is the feien that sticks his tongue on a pole in winter. He can cause others to engage in similar acts of foolishness.
8: Enhanced Senses - You are especially perceptive and are more likely to notice things. In addition, you get a bonus spell point!
10: Advanced Knowledge - Your wisdom enables you to cast spells as if you had one more point of magic, and you get a bonus spell point!

Intelligence
1-2: Idiocy - This feien has trouble understanding things, even after it's been explained three or four times. They can cause others to experience similar symptoms with a little bit of thought.
8: Greater Casting - Your spells have greater effect.
10: Panelemental - For two spells points or one point for a 0-level spell, a fairy can learn a spell from an element connected to their own, up to magic level 5.

Charisma
1-2: Repulsive - This feien sends others running away with her lousy personality. She can also temporarily decrease the charisma of another with a bit of thought.
8: Dazzling Smile - People find it hard to resist your dazzling smile. Turn it on and watch their hearts melt. Less effective against people with high wisdom.
10: Charm - Entrance the mind of a person, animal, or fairy for a short time. Less effective against people with high wisdom or intelligence. If you try to make them do something they dislike a lot, the entrancement can break.

Speed
8: Head Start - Launch suddenly forward with a burst of extra momentum and speed.
10: Flash Motion - Move so quickly it almost seems like a teleport. Heavily drains STA. Can only be cast on self.

Magic
1-2: Disrupt Magic - This fairy is so bad at magic, she can mess up other spells cast against her or in the same area. She can also lessen the boosts given by abilities.

Luck
1-2: Bad Luck - Bad things seem to happen to this feien a lot. By concentrating, this feien can direct bad luck at an enemy. Anything that can go wrong for the target usually does.
8: Good Luck - Good things are more likely to happen to this feien. The dice always seem to go his way and anything that can go right usually does.
10: Bad Luck - By concentrating, this feien can direct bad luck at an enemy. Anything that can go wrong for the target usually does.

Other:
Adrenaline Rush - STR:8 SPD:8 - Charge towards the enemy very quickly, inflicting extra damage if successful.
Quick Maneuvering - INT:8 SPD: 8 - Execute a very fast maneuver in midair or on the ground. Good for preventing collisions.
Good Luck Charm - DEX:10 LCK:8 - Craft a small charm that increases the wearer's luck. Can also be used to imbue good luck into an exsting item.
Bad Luck Charm - DEX:10 LCK:10 - Craft a charm that curses the wearer, decreasing their luck. Can also be used to imbue good luck into an exsting item.
Sustained Speed - STA: 8 SPD: 8 - This feien can run quickly, and for a long time.
Extended Spellcasting - MAG:8 STA: 10 - Spells cast by this feien will last an extra-long time, up to twice as long as their intended duration. (Does not work on abilities.)
Sustained Strength - STR: 8 STA: 10 - This feien is strong and can maintain that strength for extended periods of time.

[u:381be9e523][b:381be9e523]Points & Quests[/size:381be9e523][/b:381be9e523][/u:381be9e523]

Finally, the secret post revealed!

We now have a new point system with the feien, to both help me give credit where its due, and give you guys some rewards! Like what, you might ask? Like gemstones and quests and immortality!

First, the points system. Every post in your diary earns you between 1-5 points. Generally, 1-3 for journal entries, 3-5 for RPs and story entries. Points reward both those who post a lot of short points (you get one or two points per short post) and those who prefer to post fewer long posts (you get three or four points for long posts). It also rewards greatly those who write with others, with collaborative RPs getting 3-5.

You can also get bonus points for adding feien info to your front page, drawing pictures, commissioning art, really any creative venture.

You won't get points for roleplaying in the shop unless you compile it, and you won't receive credit for roleplaying in another feien's diary thread, either. Though roleplaying in diary threads is perfectly acceptable, please remember that only the diary's owner will get credit, unless you place a compiled story in you rown diary. Also note that it's extremely unlikely that you'll get more than 1 point per post when roleplaying in the thread, and that one-line responses may not earn a point at all.

There is one exception: If your feien is involved in something in another diary belonging to you and you link to that diary in your main diary, you may receive credit for posts made there. This only applies to roleplaying in your own diaries and linking it. Roleplaying in other diaries or shop threads does not count.

In short: you only get credit for those posts made by you in your own diary (or by your mules).

So that's how you earn points. Now what do you do with them? Normal points are like qualifiers, enabling you to unlock things. [b:381be9e523]Please note that you do not "spend" points. Gaining an ability or a Quest Point does not deplete your point total.[/b:381be9e523] It's like running a marathon. Your point total is your progress, and depending on how far along you are, you have certain rewards.

[list:381be9e523][*:381be9e523]Every 15 points unlocks a spell or ability, OR you may make a Stat Appeal in lieu of a spell or ability.
[*:381be9e523]Every 50 points gives you a Quest Point.
[*:381be9e523]If you have more than 50 points, you can arrange to talk to Julius.[/list gaia_up 381be9e523]



[u:381be9e523][b:381be9e523]Spells, Abilities, and Stat Appeals[/size:381be9e523][/b:381be9e523][/u:381be9e523]
So long as you just continue roleplaying, stats and abilities will unlock automatically over time, one for every 15 points. Since it's proven to be too difficult for me to keep track of where to put stat points, though, you may now make an appeal at any time to have a stat upgraded or switched instead of earning a spell or ability.

To appeal, you simply need to PM me, tell me what stat you'd like increased, and provide links as proof that your feien has actually been working on this stat. If your appeal is approved, next time you're up for a spell or ability, you will instead get a stat change. PLEASE DO NOT FLOOD MY INBOX WITH APPEALS OR ASK FOR INCREASES ALL THE TIME. Limit yourself to one request at a time. After you've earned the stat upgrade you may ask for another. There's no guarantee that I'll grant consecutive changes, though.


[u:381be9e523][b:381be9e523]Quest Points[/size:381be9e523][/b:381be9e523][/u:381be9e523]
Every 50 points you earn a Quest Point. What the heck is a QP you ask? Quite simply, you can use quest points to earn special items by questing! Questing involves first speaking to Julius, who will give you a task, and then writing the long, arduous journey by which you complete the task. Assuming you do it well, you'll earn a nifty item, something designed specifically for your feien. Normal item rules apply to quest items: if you switch to Sig-only, they will still appear in your feien's image, but if you switch back to RP from Sig-only, the items will disappear. You can re-quest for them, though.

OR... if you don't feel like writing a long, involved quest, you can use a quest item to buy a gemstone. Gemstones cost 20K from the shop. They're not cheap for a good reason. First, they improve your feien without you having to do any work. (Well, you have to earn the 20K, but I mean you don't have to write out a quest.) Second, they improve your feien like mad. Stat bonuses, new skills and abilities... and physical changes, too. Your feien will take on traits from the feien in the gemstone, which could mean anything, really. It's like gaining a bunch of mutations. Your feien will look really cool and unique. And did I mention much more powerful? It'd take you years of questing to end up like this.

But there are restrictions. Once a feien has melded with a gemstone, s/he cannot breed ever again. Furthermore, you can only meld with one gemstone, so pick wisely. (There will soon be an example of a melded feien.) You don't need to use the gemstone immediately, though. You can hang on to it for as long as you like. If your feien has died and you own a gemstone, you may give it to a living feien or sell it, but it will cost the feien receiving 1 QP.

And, of course, there's also the ultimate quest. The quest for immortality. Unlike item quests and gemstones, it costs two Quest Points to attempt the immortality quest, and even then you still have to work for it. A lot. These quests are different depending on the feien -- there's no one way to gain immortality. Melding with a gemstone will not prevent you from taking on the ultimate quest. (:

[b:381be9e523]The immortality quest does not remove normal diary posting requirements![/b:381be9e523] All immortality does is take away the natural lifespan of your feien, which is from 3-7 years, and changes it to as long as you live (or until you want your feien to die). Your feien can still die from neglect. Furthermore, you can still switch your feien to Sig-only, and the immortality will not go away.

There may be limitations on the immortality quest, but they are presently unknown...

[u:15af554626][b:15af554626]Status of Ordering and Pet Trades[/b:15af554626][/u:15af554626][/size:15af554626]
I'm currently done with all the customs and flatsale feien I'll be doing for a looong time, very possibly for good. At the moment, there is only one custom feien left to be had: the one available in my art contest. There's also a single flatsale-type (meaning predetermined) flower to be had in the contest.

Beyond that, there are a couple pets I'd love to get my hands on, but I cannot do more than two trades a month. I'm willing to offer full or limited customs for the following pets: (a full custom is a custom including up to three rare attributes and a mutation if desired, and a limited custom is base stats only, but you may buy rares or a mutation as well)

[quote:15af554626]+ Aduthule
- Aeta* (panther)
- Archeos
- Children of the Sun* (Alchiba, Algorab, Gienah Ghurab, Kraz, Minkar)
- Chrysthall
- Galatean*
+ Ieldi (any sort of black bird)
- Jedi Academy Student*
- Keenoh*
- Konpaku*
- Legend of a Tale
o Masquerade*
- Oculai*
- Reju (will toss in a free breeding for one of these)
- Seraphii (assuming they ever come back)
- ShapeShifter* (Wingly)
o Silva Regia
+ Tahnee*
o Tamashii*
- Uhane*
- Zodical* (male rat)
- There are a lot of pets I haven't seen! Just because you're not listed here doesn't mean that I won't consider a trade with you. Just ask! Worst that can happen, I'll say no. In case you hadn't noticed, I have a preference for sig-pretty humanoid pets.
*limited custom
o a pending deal has already been arranged
+ uber-want[/size:15af554626][/quote:15af554626]

Yes, I know I have about no chance in hell of getting most of these, but that doesn't change the fact I want them. And if you want a feien that you actually get to design instead of one you have no control over, well, those are your options. I prefer to deal with the shop owners, but since most aren't after feien, I will happily take the results of breeding.

At the moment I'm: [b:15af554626]not considering pet trades please don't ask unless it's an uber-want pet[/b:15af554626]; I'm already locked into my next three and a half trades. Contact me next month if you're interested in a trade.

[u:15af554626][b:15af554626]Woohoo! I got them![/b:15af554626][/u:15af554626]
