The planet Psyche is one of natural beauty. It is unharmed by human hands, and the humans who do inhabit this planet take extremes to keeping to safe. They live in peace with the Coeurl; majestic beasts that roam the plains and mountains. It wasn't always like this, however. The Coeurl had once been hunted by people, and in response the Coeurl had begun to hunt their predators. It was once called a "war" between the breeds. Humans viewed the Coeurl as a source of food and clothing. The Coeurl, as natural predators, saw the humans as prey. There was also something very, very valuable about the Coeurl financially.

Their whiskers held magical properties. If a Coeurl was caught and killed, the hunter would often take their victim's whiskers and sell them to medical workers. The magical properties proved to make amazing medicines and vaccines. It became a popular occupation... That of being a hunter for this purpose. The Coeurl population, once abundant, had been nearly depleted.

The Coeurl were also valuable in another way. They were valuable to the world that was their home. The beasts that wer ebeing so mercilessly hunted were the children of this planet. They were its life force. With less and less Coeurl around, the planet was beginning to die. It was quite a drastic change. The grass was not as green as before and the sky was almost always clouded over. The food that was being harvested was being poisoned by Psyche itself as a natural defense to rid itself of its parasites. The people of Psyche turned to the Coeurl as a food source then, along with other breeds of monsters that lived in their world. Other creatures that were Psyche's children.

Rangi, a mere child at the time, was one of the few to see what was really the cause of Psyche's destruction. He had always been different, "special" if you will. He was in tune to Psyche. He could physically see the planet's Goddess himself at her temple in Marana. He stayed long days and nights there, trying to find the answer to her withering life. Rangi one day on his way to the temple heard growling and shouts. He hurried himself to the source of the noise, and he came upon a hunter cornering a cub. It was then that he found the answer, and was able to save the cub when the hunter was distracted by him. The cub however, followed Rangi to the temple. Inside the temple Psyche was waiting for her daily visitor, but was pleasantly surprised by the sight.

The sight of a Coeurl and a human side-by-side, not harming eachother, was all Psyche needed to revive enough to speak to Rangi. She explained to him the powers of the Coeurl and why they were so close to her and then planet. Time had stopped for Rangi and the cub, because in real time he had been at the temple for nearly a week. His parents and many of the townspeople waited outside the temple where they always saw him leave to in hopes of finding him. The fateful day Rangi left the temple with the cub was the day that the people saw why their planet was dying. Realization was what Psyche needed to rejuvenate, and she hersef appeared before her people with an explanation.

The war between the Coeurl and the humans had ended that day. It took a while for the two to warm up with eachother, but now, years later, it is not uncommon to see a human with a Coeurl or two. Newly found parents often went to find Coeurls who just had litters to bond a cub with their child. This was the way Psyche had intended her children to live; side-by-side peacefully.

With Rangi as the prince of Marana, it is hard to see the future of Psyche ever falling into such disarray again.

The Coeurl are feline like beasts. They are top predators and are capable of magical abilities. Some are even gifted with flight! Here are the shadows of the stages. ;D

User Image
The "egg" stage. When a human dies, and they long to stay in the world of the living, they become a Pyrefly. When they become a Coeurl, they have no recollection of their human past. Time Coeurl from the Pyrefly state may have recollection, but very vaguely. If a Coeurl was obtained in it's adult/cub stage via custom/FS, it is the owner's decision whether or not they had Coeurl parents or were once human.

Magic is very important to the Coeurl. Each Coeurl specializes in one type of magic. If you take note on their cert, there is a space for magic affiliation. Flatsale Coeurl often have their magic chosen for them already. Custom Coeurl are unaffiliated, so the owner may pick. This is more of a roleplay per than anything, as if you do not roleplay, magic is only a decoration on the cert then.

What kind of magic can a Coeurl master?
Fire
Ice
Thunder
Water
Time*
Heal**

*Roleplay Required; has a special 5th stage
** Strict Limitations

What are the limitations on Heal?
Coeurl with healing abilities will be watched by our roleplay managers. If not handled properly, roleplayers could god-mode with this ability. Coeurl with this ability cannot heal themselves. Healers are dedicated to serving others. At the basic "Cure" level, Coeurl can merely cure bruises. At the "Cura" level, Coeurl can cure cuts/larger wounds (though because it's done so drastically, scarring occurs) and bruises. Coeurl at the "Curaga" level can cure from broken limbs to minor bruises. They cannot however, cure a blind Coeurl, or bring a Coeurl back from the dead.

What are the limitations on Time?
Time can eaisly be used to god-mode in rp. So we have decided that only roleplay-required Coeurl would get it, with the understanding that their owner can use it properly. Time Courl receive an extra stage, and can only be obtained via rp contest or awarded to roleplay managers/those who show expertise in handling magic well in roleplay. Time Coeurl are not aware of how to use their magic. At their cub stage they are often deemed "misfits", as they show no magical ability. Around Teen they start showing magical ability, and as adults they know they're "special". They cannot control their ability, and often cast spells on accident. They can for short periods stop time, speed it up, or slow it down. In their final stage, Time Coeurl are guides for cubs who are of the Time variety.

What are spell levels?
Coeurl do not know magic right off the bat. As a Pyrefly, they cannot perform any magic. As cubs, they can only perform level one magic (weak magic). As they grow, their spells become stronger. But as they obtain stronger spells, these spells require more mana points.

What are mana points?
In your Cave, under each Coeurl you own will be a list of it's spells (bolded are what it knows) and it's mana points. Besides each spell is a mana cost. To use that spell, they are spending mana points. As a Coeurl grows their Mana points grow. If in an rp you spend them all, your Coeurl cannot use anymore magic. In a new rp, their magic points have been refilled.

• First and foremost, if you have qustions, ask a staff member (pref. a manager).
• Roleplay takes place on the planet Psyche, specifically around the main city. Coeurls should not be rped inside the city, but in the lands around it.
• If you have a rp-required pet, understand you will have an rp manager moniter your progress.
• Any abuse of magic will be noted and interfered. Loss of magic use will be conducted.
• Use your common sense!
• PG-13, please. Do NOT rp situations that are not appropriate.
• Use story/paragraph when pring in the guild.

Basic Breeding Rules
• Breedings cost 10k; 5k from each owner. One owner can pay in full, but that does not entitle you to more than one cub or choice of where the other cubs go.
• Do not get upset if your pair does not win!
• You get two cubs standard. If a pair roleplays than there is chance they may get a third, and an extensively rped and lifemated pair may get FOUR cubs! o___o
• Every Coeurl is allowed to get three breedings. If a pair has bred three times with their lifemate, they will get a fourth breeding slot. However, if they did get this fourth slot, all of the cubs must be given away.
• A pair must have one completed rp to be considered lifemates (one page minimum).
• You do not need to roleplay your Coeurl to breed them. There are perks, however.
• The magic affiliation is based on the parents. If the mother is Water and the father is Fire, than some will (or all) will be Fire or Water.
• No homosexual breedings. Through artificial insemination it can happen, you'll need an extensive rp log to back it up. In this process, the children take on the traits of all three parents. If you don't like it, don't breed then.
• If a lifemating is broken, than they cannot breed for a month and both Coeurl lose the chance for a fourth breeding opportunity.
• The owners of the Coeurl are both entitled to one cub per litter. Two is standard, but if three or four are born, than you have three options. First, you could give it away to a friend, shop newbie, anyone (even me! xD). Your second option is to do some kind of rp contest for it or a survey so the owners can pick who they'd like their extra cub to go to. Your third option is to give the extra cub to the shop to be raffled off. The owners will receive 0% of the profits; all profit will go to the colorist. A cub given to the shop is considered a donation. You cannot argue who the cub ends up with if it is raffled off.

Pyrflies
Coeurl produced by breedings are born in cub state. There is no "egg" stage.
