-- 08.05.04: Yarr, New Thread! Still redoing some of the front page, so bear with me here. The old thread was kinda dead, plus it was [archived], so woot. Newness.
+ The first adult Tsunami, Tatsil, is here! :O I'd advise you to run and hide. (:

So uh, what are these 'Rath' things then?

Quote:

The pets in general are called Raths (a play on wrath, yes). Within this there are different species, basically named after the disaster they were created from. The example below (omgwherisit?) is my Frost Rath, in the shape of a corvid-like bird.

Rath's come from a world similar to this one. They are not born as Raths, but as the every-day animals they resemble, looking exactly like those we see on Earth. Raths can only be made if one of these animals, while still developing in the egg*, survives a large scale natural disaster by some kind of miracle. Their survival is unexplainable and as you can imagine, a Rath being 'made' is a very rare occurence.

*to make things easier, all animals in this world are born as eggs, whether mammals or not. I'm so original.

Appearance:
Because they are not fully developed when this happens, the disaster changes their genetic makeup and so once hatched, they look slightly different to the original animal would have hatches as and they have an almost elemental appearence. Because of this event most Raths turn out slightly unstable and as a result take pleasure in creating more of these disasters. Especially in populated areas. Full-grown Raths aren't designed to be cute.

See the Information post for more on all the different species.

Basic Species Info

Quote:

Some general info on the personalities and such for each (current) species. Note that this will not be true for every single Rath. Just like us, they're all different. The environment they grow up in will be the main factor in shaping their personality.
The males and females of each species also have slightly different physical characteristics.

Frost (corvid/falcon): Charming and manipulative. Most have cunning minds which they're not afraid to use. (Yes, more cunning than a fox who's Professor of Cunning at Cunningham University.) They like to hoard, and will often be quite selfish. You could only get to understand what this Rath is really like if it were to trust you completely.

Plague (rat): Rabid and really quite unstable. Even the young Rath is like the kinda kid you just know is going to grow up to be rather psychotic. They take life with a pinch of salt though. It's all a game to them. Even though they're aware of the fact that they're not at all attractive, they Like their image and find it amusing to get under people's skin by being gross. Needless to say, they have a twisted sense of humour.

Tsunami (seahorse): Beautiful yet unforgiving. They think very highly of themselves and won't take no for an answer. They're not always ready to reap havoc, but when they do, they let you know they mean business. (If you're having trouble imagining an evil seahorse- Think giant serpentine seamonster.. thing.)

Magma (lion/cougar): Mysterious and silent unless provoked. Even though they're very much alive and very much solid, they have an almost ghostly appearance. You know there's a lot going on behind those eyes and it kinda spooks you out. When the need arises they will make a deadly ally or a fearsome opponent.

Quake (bull/mare): Fierce and brutal. Will attack whenever the hell it feels the erge without reason nor mercy. Because of their careless and stubourn attitude and their intimidating appearence, they are often mistaken for being stupid. Or maybe it's just because they can't actually be bothered to show their true genious -They'd rather just destroy something.

Stages:
Egg,
Hatchling,
Adult.

Tadaa. *brick*

Stuff you need to read even if you read nothing else.

General rules:

Quote:

1. Do Not edit any Rath image/cert in any way. Raths are (c) me, Reivan/Dunewolf, 2004, and are NOT to be distributed without permission.

2. Only the people mentioned in the Owners List should have my pets. Anyone who has one and is not in that list, is not it's rightful owner.

3. Do not beg for a Rath egg. If there are any available for sale, it will be announced on the first page.

4. When you recieve your egg you must direct link it into your sig or a webpage for it to be able to hatch. Once it has matured to it's adult stage you need to save the image and host it yourself.

5. Please do not PM me unless you have a serious issue and urgently need to contact me. Otherwise, if you have a question that you're sure is not already answered on this page, then post in the thread and i, or someone else will be happy to answer you. :>

6. If you are serious about wanting an egg, Please make sure you read my posts on the first page thoroughly. Reading and following rules is always a good thing when you want something. If there is something you do not understand or are unsure about, go ahead and ask in the thread.

:O ninja

The general idea:
(If all goes to plan..)

Quote:

There will be a small number of Gen 1 Raths available to begin with. When these have grown to full maturity they will be able to breed, usually creating around two eggs which are triggered by corresponding natural disasters (to produce Rath eggs rather than normal animal eggs).
Currently, Raths cannot cross breed between species. Ie, A Frost Rath can only breed with another Frost Rath.

Obviously, this section will only become active once enough Gen 1s have matured. :>

<center> FAQ

Quote:

How can i get a Rath?
-There are currently 4 official ways you can get hold of an egg:
1. Flatsales (Gen1 flatsales are over)
2. Auctions
3. Raffles and competitions
4. Breeding
..The usual kind of stuff.
It will be announced in the News section of this page when any of these events will be held. If you wish to be reminded of upcoming events, please join the mailing list. :3

Are Raths RP-intensive?
-Although RP is encouraged, they are not RP heavy pets, no.
I certainly won't force you to roleplay, but since developing speed depends on your activeness to an extent.. engaging with your pet will encourage growth.
If you never interact with your Rath after it hatches, it will still grow, but it will take longer than usual. Even Raths need some level of appreciation.. And understandably, if you completely ignore your Rath it will most likely grow up to resent you.

How many can i own?
-You may own up to three Gen 1 Raths, and up to five Gen 2 and beyond. That's 8 altogether! :}
If you reach the limit though (o_o) and wish to be able to get more.. you will have to disown some (hand them back to me for adoption, give them away to friends, or simply let them die (which will only happen if you ask for it to)). :/
