Welcome to Gaia! ::



    Through a somewhat tinted window, you can see... a mess? Lots of wood plank and sawdust. It appears as though the store is currently being rennovated. Curious, you near the window, almost pressing your face up to the glass-- when you happen to notice a strange boy decked out in pink floral patterned pajamas and an.. apron, staring right back. He smiles, as if he know something incredible is about to happen.

General Rules
1. Please abide by the GaiaOnline TOS at all times.
2. Read the entire front page before asking questions, to make sure it hasn't already been answered.
3. Do not beg staff/owners for Capras.
4. Do not PM the staff for any reason (unless they have specified that you may do so.) Any urgent questions should be PMd to the mule account "Capracans".
5. Capracans are not RP required pets, but being active in the thread will be rewarded.
6. Direct-link your Capra until it is fully grown, otherwise it will not grow!
7. Do not steal/alter/trace/reproduce the art!
8. The staff reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.


Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Capracan?
Capracans were created in mid-2004 by PF. They are, technically, aliens that have come to earth in their can-shaped UFOs, and we're not entirely sure why they're here -- though some people seem to think that they're an invading army!

2. How much do they cost?
Capracans are 2,500 gold in flatsale events, with trades to be sent to the Capracans mule. Auctions are not capped, though autobuys may be set in special circumstances.

3. Do you do customs for bribes?
Please talk to individual staff members about this. Each staff member has different bribe-prices and autobuys, and different preferences as far as what they will and will not do.

4. So.. can I have one?
As long as you don't beg, and stay around for events/flatsales -- of course!

5. How big are they?/Do they speak English?/What do they DO?
The Capras seem to be as unique as humans! They each have unique personalities, and just like us, some are quite dumb while others are very intelligent. Capras communicate outwardly in cute little squeaking/chirping/baa-ing noises, though they can also speak telepathically in English. Baby capras are about 5 inches tall, standing up, whereas adults are about 10 inches, give or take. Capracans generally tend to eat a lot, and if left alone long enough, they'll eat through entire houses.

6. Do I have to roleplay my Capra?
Nope! Roleplay is not required and your Capra will grow regardless of whether you do or you don't. However, if you're active in the thread, you'll have more chances to win rare items and your Capra will probably grow faster than normal.

7. Can they.. breed?
Yes and no! Capracans don't have.. private bits, so we're really not sure how it works, but once they reach adulthood, if 4 capras get together (gender doesn't matter) and get a staff member to help them, they can call their home world and get them to send over more cans! This takes a great deal of concentration, but it's been noted that anywhere from 1-3 cans can come within a day or two from this strange ritual.

8. Is Co-Ownership allowed?
No, with the exception of auction Capras.

9. Are we allowed to own more than one Capra?
Yes, each person is allowed a maximum of 5 Capras. Though theoretically you are allowed to own as many as you want, it's frowned upon. Why not give some to your friends so you have people to RP with?

10. Are there cosplays? lineart edits? Waahh?
Cosplays are extremely rare and can only be obtained via auction, gift, or RL commission. Lineart edits are also rare and can only be obtained via auction, bribe, or chance.

11. Can I be a guest colorist? Can I work at your shop?
Sorry, we're not looking to hire at this time.

Story
A couple of years ago, Piff was hungry for soup, and she decided to venture out of her house to the nearby store, which.. was oddly enough, deserted! She saw a bunch of cans, immediately decided they were soup, and then decided to steal them. Why? No one will ever know. Piff was going through an evil streak or something. Anyway, no matter how much she tried to get those darned cans open, she couldn't! So she decided to sell them off, and.. well.. basically, once these things get owners, they come out sooner or later, and when they do, you had better get under a table or something; it's like a nuclear explosion! Anyway, Piff got really tired of dealing with having to rebuild her house every other day from the explosions, and she decided to return the remaining cans back to the shop she had originally stolen from. For 2 years, she never thought much about the capracans, but just recently, she wandered past that fateful shop again, and noticed a strange boy decked out in pink sitting out in front.

He looked at her knowingly, and grinned. "It's you." Piff didn't know how to respond, but she so taken aback that she just huffed at him and quickly walk away. As her silhouette got smaller and smaller in the sunset, he chuckled to himself, "She'll be back." And with that, the odd boy went back into the store, and began organizing some brightly colored cans..

Love Slug
An odd slug with hearts in its antenae; these guys are believed to be from the Capra's home world, and are extremely rare because it's harder for them to survive the trip as stowaways, but.. from what is known, they tend to cause random mutations in the Capras.


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Growth Slug
The Growth Slug is believed to be a close cousin of the Love Slug, but it has a different effect on Capracans. They seem to give them a quick growth spurt to adulthood, even if the capra has just been born! If given to an adult, they are known to sometimes cause the fullgrowns to revert back to childhood.

Breeding
The staff was originally really puzzled as to how Capras could breed, seeing as how.. they have.. no private bits! We later discovered that they actually.. DON'T! Instead, when 4 adult Capras get together (gender doesn't matter) they can put their horns together and send a signal to their home planet, to send more cans! Once they've done this, anywhere from 1-3 days later, a couple of cans show up. The capras usually cannot do this alone though, and need the help of a certain blue haired boy..

------------

- One person can have up to 5 capras.
- You may NOT sell a can. You can give cans away to people, but you may not profit.

The rules listed here apply to all of our events. Read them carefully, as well as any additional rules that will pop up during our events.

  1. Events are run by the staff, not you. This means that we, the staff, can choose to run the event any way we want and whenever we want. We also hold the right to have events without making announcements about them.

  2. Any whining on the thread, behind our backs, or to our faces will be met with us telling you to stop, and if it persists, you'll be dealt with.

  3. The wants of the many outweight the wants of the few in this shop. We try to cater to the more vast majority of lurkers and those here in the United States (especially since all of our staff lives in the US) rather than the people who come by once in awhile and those who live in other countries. We do try to hold events that will cater to those outside of the United States, but remember that the times vary for us staff. We don't want always want to be up at 3AM to run an event for one or two people.

  4. All events are allowed to have proxies. If you can't be here, you are allowed to ask someone to attempt to get a Capracan for you. This is perfectly fine. However, this means proxies may not be able to get one for themselves.

  5. We do not appreciate guilt trips or whining. We will smack you down if you start with it. We have made it clear several times that we run our events the way we want and we are the staff and therefore we can do so.

  6. Be respectful and polite to others in the thread, as well as staff. The general rules of courtesy apply here.


Cans Available!

None at the time.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

We DO NOT accept real cash bribes. PF is the artist and as you can see, she does not accept bribes of any kind and it is not fair to her for the rest of the staff to make real cash money off of her work. This is not open for negotiations either; any persons attempting to bribe any staff member behind the scenes for real cash will be dealt with. PF may open up slots for this possibility in the future but right now it is NOT allowed. Do not PM the mule asking for it.

Please also do not PM the mule in regards as to how to run a pet shop (yes, we've actually had two PMs). There is a wonderful thread put up in the main section of the Breedables / Changeables Pets Forum that was written by wonderful members of the community (including our own PF) that will be able to help you.


Quote:
Bribe Information
  1. All bribe prices apply to all staff members. Any attempts to suade prices lower will result in a greylist from the shop.
  2. All bribe requests must be sent to the mule with the title, "(Staff Member Name): Bribe Request" or they will be deleted.
  3. Only send bribe requests if a staff member's information SAYS that they are open for bribes.
  4. Staff is allowed, at any time, to deny bribes without providing reason.
  5. All edits are at the discretion of the colorist, not you. Complaints can be forwarded to a trash can where it will get more attention.
  6. It is up to the colorist if they wish to accept items. If they do, it is items of their choosing and valued at mid-ZERG.
  7. Mutation purchases are RANDOMLY available at the discretion of the colorist, and can only be purchased with a bribe. Mutation purchases cannot be given to already created Capracans. Attempting to purchase Mutations when they are not available (a colorist's list will say if a mutation is available) will result in bad happenings for you.
    -- Mutation prices are on TOP of the original price. This means that you have to pay 500K plus an additional 250 or 500K depending on what mutation you decide to get. Remember though that a colorist does not have to do a mutation if they don't wish. It's up to their discretion.

Prices
  • Regular Capracans with MINOR (at the discretion of the colorist) Edits - 500K
  • Random Mutations - +250K
  • Custom Mutations (NO WINGS) - +500K

The following Capracans are not available via bribing:
  • Naturals
  • Cosplays


Trade Rules
We felt it was time to put in some rules about trades. These rules apply to all of the staff. Any attempts at getting a Capracan this way behind the owners' backs will result in big trouble for you.
  1. You cannot offer art to the staff for pets. Why? First off, all four of us are artists. We can draw what we want when we want and not have to pay someone or give someone something in order to get it done.
  2. You cannot offer "unique" pets that have no actual shop basis to the staff. This is considered offering art. It doesn't count.
