In the beginning, far above in the heavens, fly a race of mystical bird-like creatures called the Synix. These graceful celestrial phoenix act as guardians over all of the planets, stars, and moons in existance. Everything within their wings' embrace is wrapped in their love, from the abyss of space to each star of all the galaxies. Their protection is stretched across the universe.
With every star, planet, or imminent chaos, is one of these radiant birds, watching and calling down a blessing. When one of these guarded realms died, the Synix shed a single tear then would burst into flames only to be reborn with the next living realm to come to life.
The young of the Synix would help their parents to guard each of their realms. As the offspring grew, the parents would die off with their realms but normally the realm would return before these creatures were reborn, since their ressurection took a century to complete. This allowed the children of the fallen Synix to take over their parents' duties until their return.
Flocks of Synix would remain close to one another within the limits. The times were good. Harmony and balance played a lullaby between worlds. The Synix did their duty and because of their divine nature, and they were at peace with the universe. That is, until the day known forever to these creatures as "The Day Of the Fallen".

That fateful day was a blessing to Earth alone, as the rest of the planets and galaxies shed tears of agony and pain. It was a day when a twist in fate changed the course of all humanity.
See, the Synix were birds of divinity. They reigned over distant lands in times when there was an equal balance between light & shadow. But the evil that had been so equal before began to crave power, growing and disturbing the balance. The Synix fled from their homes, their own people hunting after them with pure hatred in their hearts. Of course, they headed to the one planet that had not been completely corrupted. Earth. The smallest and safest realm within this galaxy.
Unfortunately, hardly any Synix survived. Only two of these wonderful creatures had made it to Earth. Luckily for their species, all the Synix had given these two care of their eggs, leaving the future of their entire race in the care of the last two Synix.
I had been relaxing in a nice mountain range when I saw them. These beautiful phoenix had managed to fly down into the mountain's valley. But they were injuried beyond compare. I had been the only traveler that day to this part of the area so of course I ran to go help them.
Doing all I could for them, they entrusted all the eggs into my care. These creatures, being so divine, were intelligent as well, able to communicate to me through telepathy. The two lovers told of their race and what had brought them here. The male asked me that if anyone were to come later to guard these eggs with my life. I made a promise to watch after the unborn children.
In the late hours of the evening, I watched these creatures shed a tear, one from each, then burst into flames. Through my saddness, I took on my responsibility and gathered up the eggs. But I soon discovered that there were two more eggs laying with the others. The coloring and design had been just like the couple Synix that had just past away. A smile came to my face as I knew that this was only the beginning.
-As told by Leena-Chan

We must make sure that each Synix found goes to a good home. This means that in the shop, we have a few rules for very good reasons. Of course we have seen people who would terrorize these loving things so rules were set for such a cause. If these rules cannot be followed, then the person in such a situation will be blacklisted from this shop. FAILURE TO NOT READ ALL THE RULES CAN RESULT IN YOUR SYNIX BEING TAKEN BACK! MAKE SURE TO READ THEM ALL AND FOLLOW THEM! PLEASE!

1. Picture designs of these pets are copywrite of Leena-chan. Those who steal are given a slow painful death. No alterations of the pictures in any way are permitted.
2. No begging the guardians for an egg or a synix. Please wait for a flat sale, auction, or special event.
3. At any auctions or flatsales, NO SNIPING PERMITTED, unless stated otherwise at the thread.
4. There is no reserving. I am sorry if this offends anyone but its not fair to the ones who get here in enough time for the sale and have the money at the time.
5. After you get your pet, you must come post in the thread.
- Posting Regulations
-- For eggs: You need to post every other day as proof of your care.
-- For babies: Every three days you need to report back.
-- For adults: Once a week to check in.
If you dont plan on stopping by, then please don't get a pet. If you get a pet but dont check in you will recieve three warnings, one from each of the guardians. After your third, we will take back the Synix and you don't get a refund. But if you do return them to us, you will recieve back your money spent on it.
6. You may purchase one for a friend but you may NOT re-sell them or auction off your Synix! If you don't want your Synix for yourself, please return it here and we shall care for them like they deserve to be.
7.
*NEW* You may now own as many synix as you wish. Leena's ban has been lifted for those who are welcomed. For details, see page 354. BUT you may not purchase more then one synix at each sale unless its for someone else.
8. At any auctions or flatsales, you cannot go back and edit your posts. If you did not read the rules before, that is your doing. But you can always try to post the right way a second time if theres a chance. ^-^ I'm not THAT cold now. If you are caught editing a post, you are banned since it is unfair to all the others who followed the rules.
9. Bumps are welcomed, but please, no spamming beyond the bumping.
10. If you don't see an egg posted on this first page under auctions/sales, then that means right now there are currently NONE FOR ADOPTION! Lets use some common sense here people.
11. Please don't ask about what types of Synix we will have in the future. We want to surprise you! ^^
12. Please, AVOID PMING THE GUARDIANS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! And if you are placed on the blacklist, NO HARASSING THE GUARDIANS THROUGH PMs!
13. When you get a synix, you MUST be present if any changes or events happen with your synix! If you don't think the guardians are online, PM Leena-chan or Celestrial Wings asking if we are online and let us know where you are at. If you do not recieve a PM back within the hour we are unavailable and you are to PM us again if you get offline stating when you will be back! IF YOU DISAPPEAR WITHOUT WARNING WHILE SOMETHING IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR SYNIX, it will be concerned NEGLECGENCE on your part. AND LEENA-CHAN WILL NOT TOLERATE IT!

*** The ONLY exceptions to this rule is if we are notified that you will be gone for a long time or something has happened to your computer/internet connection.
14. If you are going to make a smaller banner for your synix in your cert, you must come and speak to either Leena or Celestrial Wings first so that we don't mistake it for a Photobucket glitch.
15.
NEW* If you harrass/threaten the shops three times, its an automatic blacklist. Its just disrespectful and Leena is sick of it.

More rules will be added as needed. Thank you!

"Are there any synix for sale? Can I have one? Or order one?"
Is there a sign somewhere talking about a current flatsale or auction? If not, theres NONE available. We do not fulfill orders.
"Do you do customs? Will you ever?"
"Currently, this is reserved for pet trades only."
"Are these HEAVILY RP Pets?"
"No. Rp is actually NOT required. The current owners personally choose whether or not to rp the synix. However, if you want your synix to find a mate, or to meet the others, that obviously will require you to rp."
"What about the requirements of care for my synix? If I don't rp how do I fulfill them?"
"You can merely come into the thread and state it happened."
"Ok I want to just talk to the other owners; not rp with them. Where do I go?"
"Right in this thread."
"Alright I want to rp (my synix needs a friend/mate), is there a different thread for that?"
"For eggs and babies, no. They are to be rped here. For Adults, yes, in the guild, the rp thread."
"Can we do a pet trade?"
"Sure but it must be requested to either Celestrial Wings or Leena-chan."
"Alright I want my synix to mate! How many eggs will I get back?"
"Currently, just one. Now you could choose several options:
1.)Give it away to a friend whos responsible (encouraged)
2.) You keep it
3.) The other owner who bred keeps it
4.) It be given to the Aviary to sell/auction/raffle."

"So I can own two synix?"
"Actually now, you can own as many as you would like from whatever series and generation you wish."
My synix is a Gen 1 but he/she's inlove with a Gen 2 synix! Can they mate?
No due to such a dramatic age difference. Imagine your thirteen yr old cousin marrying your thirty-three yr old aunt. Not very right is it?

Each one of these legends must struggle to break free from their shells to have the strength to be able to survive for all of time. This stage normally lasts for a two weeks or more. However, the better care you take of your egg, the faster it will hatch.
The egg is about the size of an ostrich egg.
User Image


After their struggle to freedom, they take a long rest. They are very vunerable at this point so the parents (and owners) are constantly watching over them. This stage last for two weeks or longer because of all the growing it takes for them to become an image of grace and elegance. At this point in their lives, they cannot really see well and barely open their eyes for anything. All they can speak is a peep language and need as much care as possible. The adverage size of a baby is about the size of a small cat.
User ImageUser Image


Finally their eyes open to the world to see it as all were meant to see it. When the baby opens their eyes, they will fly off to the heavens to complete their growing process, and by the time they come back down they are fully matured. Once grown, they take on their responsibilites and become mature within a heartbeat. They remain this way forever, since they are immune to the disease of the death of time. Each synix has their own personality and temperment but when their element comes into sight, they feel at one with the universe. Some synix who have a great upbringing (owners who took great care and/or helped out the aviary somehow) will gain a new ability. One that is activated by glancing up at their element and can be deactivated by the synix's choosing. In their final form, if the owner is kind enough to their synix, a birthmark will appear. These creatures reach a total height of six feet and are too heavy for their owners to carry anymore.

If you are a devoted owner and follow most of the rules and rp frequently, this is rewarded! Your synix, upon reaching adulthood, and after interacting with its fellow peers, will find itself drawn to its element (The moon synix to the moon, etc). Upon staring upon it, they will gain the ability to transform and appear human! The owners will be alerted of this when recieving a special blessing by Leena-chan.

Something has happened to your synix. As its life is completed, it will grow weaker. In their weakened state, the synix shall move into the heavens. All the features that had showed difference between the males and females disappear as they take on a new appearance. Both genders take on the same appearance. They head into the sky above and watch over the other synix. If they find a longing to return, they burst into stardust and the dust showers down and forms the egg. And the cycle begins all over again.

Your Eggu and You
This is one of the easier stages to care after. The egg must always be at your side and it must have a certain constant temperature at all times. Each temperature is different for each egg. For example, the moon eggs need a constant cool temperature with five hours of warmth per day.

Upon recieving your egg, you will be told of the temperatures needed for your egg to hatch. When its time for your egg to hatch, you must return here with the egg and we will put it in a special enviroment for you to increase the speed of hatching. The enivorment will not cost anything for the owner.

During the egg hatchings, normally more then one will hatch. But we can only watch after so many at a time. If there is no one to watch your egg, be patient. The hatching process is very quick and there will be room. But its first come, first serve. If theres no room left when you get here, there is a waiting room. We ask for your patience while there.

Sleepy Babies
Since most of their childhood is spent with their eyes closed, these babies need to constantly hear your voice and feel your touch. That way they will recognize you when they awaken and grow into their final form. As babies, they need a little more attention then when they were eggs, since they are very vunerable. While they were in their egg, you really couldn't tell what gender they were. Now that they are children it should be much eaiser to tell.

Both genders are simular in some ways but need special care. The males will need to be rocked more then their counterpart. The females will need more silence around them then the others, being much more of a light sleeper then the males. As children, they will need to have their feathers brushed. The males need their wings tended to and the females need their tails tended to. The more attention you give each area, the better the chance your Synix will have to find a mate.

If you have taken good care of them, the babies will grow up within a week and a half. If neglected, it can take two weeks. Once your baby's eyes start to open you must rush back here as you did with him/her when they were hatching. We will then fly them into the skies above, giving each his/her very own cloud. You will know when they are adults because the skies above will rain down sparkles of light and your Synix will descend like a godly figure before you. Just like when they were eggs, there are only so many clouds that can be filled with a growing Synix. And there are only so many watchers to keep an eye on them. So please be patient.

Baby's All Grown Up
This is one form I am not sure about since I was not told how to raise an adult. I was informed that this is the form they live with forever and that if the owner of the Synix has done everything possible for it, then that pet will be loyal and protective for eternity. We have also noticed that synix who come around alittle more then the others will infact gain abilites and a new form!!!

Some Eggs need special care in order to hatch. If your egg needs special intructions, it will be posted here! Please remember to take care of your egg, its relying on you! Some eggs will need more care then others, especially those who are trying to pretend to be someone of the aviary.

Angelic Sunset
This egg is a very delicate one. It needs to have a constant warmth (NOT HOT!) on it with a cool breeze brushing over it 3 times a day: Sunrise, Sunset, and Late Dusk. It loves to be rocked back and forth as if it were on an ocean and really can't stand to be perfectly still.

Mimic Synix
This young egg has all the personal lovings that the person it's mimicing does! It likes whatever music they like, and absolutely cannot stand anything that the person dislikes. It follows the same nature as the person it's mimicing, whether that makes it creative, hyper-active, or downright lazy. It adores everything that the person does, and everything that makes it's origional happy makes it very happy. The temperatures these eggs need vary greatly. If a Mimic Synix chose someone from Alaska, they would need low temperatures. If it chose someone from Louisianna, it would need warm temperatures and a steady intake of sunlight. Be sure to really get to know the person that your Synix has chosen to mimic!

The Tyrria are the rarest and hardest creature to find out in the synix lands. These are solidary creatures and only like to bond with synix. Much is still unknown about them but what we do know is that they are about four feet tall from the ground, not including the tail. They are similar to synix in appearance. But their songs are very different from the synix, although they sound just as beautiful as them. Four have been discovered; shall we see even more?

Not only are there Tyrria living in our lands, there are Undines! They live in the lakes and rivers that are in the synix land. Their songs are unable to be heard above land, so in order to hear their notes, you must be under water. Thus far, only one undine has ventured out of the waters and has bonded with an owner. There are reports of a certain winter moon synix discovering a wild Undine. These creatures appear very wolf like with a long tail for a lower-half and fin-like wings on their backs. So far, only females have been spotted. But who's to say that there may not be more under the water.

The Synix can speak in english to their owners through telepathy, but they speak a native tongue to one another. Normally it would be a song-like language but when written down it appears different. Each letter is a key of a note to the song they sing to one another for communication. Here is the key to understand your Synix's songs.
A = Z
B = Y
C = X
D = W
E = V
F = U
G = T
H = S
I = R
J = Q
K = P
L = O
M = N


Normally notes in our language do not reach to those letters but we are not designed to sing them. Those notes are only ones that birds and the Synix can reach.

A Synix is ready to breed when it reaches its adult maturity. When it reaches this maturity it will see the other Synix of the opposite sex as something more than playmates. Once your Synix has its eye on a potential mate, the mating dance begins.

Dance of Romance
The mating dance is initiated by the male Synix as he fans his feathers, much like an earthly peacock does. But when he does this his feathers produce small soft sparkles to attract the female to him. If the female likes the sparkles given off by the male, she will approach him and her part of the dance stars. She will show off the plumage of her tail to him, the feathers producing more of a glow versus the sparkle of the male. If both are pleased they will proceed to ascend up to the clouds to make lil eggies .

When your synix claim a cloud (breeding pen), you must send 1k from each owner (a total of 2k) to Celestrial Wings. Please make sure that there is a pen available.

Breeding Clouds
1. Open
2. Open
3. Open

When your synix mates, it will produce one egg. In extremely rare cases, a set of twins will be born. But this has yet to be witnessed. When the mating dance is over, the synix will return to earth with their new egg. It is up to the owners if one of them want to keep it, give it to a friend, or let the shop decide.

The rules for breeding your Synix are simple. Follow them and the guardians won't have to hunt you down.
1. All Synix are mates for life.
2. Male and female couples only.
3. Only one egg per breeding. Multiple eggs are incredibly rare.
4. Sales should be capped at 3k and auctions at 10k for eggs.
