1. These pets are NOT RP required. But if you want them to grow past the student stage, then you need to RP. There are 2 exception to this rule. Because of their rarity and importance all pets that are dual aspects and teachers are RP required.

2. Please be polite on the thread. And respect others. Any arguments should be kept civil or taken off the thread entirely.

3. No begging.

4. Do not steal the art! Do so, and we will eat your soul.

5. Please don't insult people or belittle RP styles. Not everyone can write a long and detailed paragraph, if you are not happy RPing with someone, then be polite and courteous. No need to act in a childish manner

6. For Auctions and flatsales, NO RETRACTING BIDS. Do not offer more than you have.

7. 2 week pester notice This shop is aimed at bringing the chance to have your own magical girl/boy to a large audience, to making characters available to a big crowd, not limiting to a select few. While we will have RP based freebie flatsales, we're hoping to keep this shop cheap and always open. But please understand that all the lines are individually drawn from start to finish. The staff are not machines! Try not to pester us too much about waiting on your art.

8. When ordering a custom, please do not use pictures from other shops. We do not want to be copying other shops artwork or the same character.

9. There is no limit to the number of pets you can own from this shop. However you may only purchase 1 for yourself per a flatsale.

10. During a flatsale (be it speed or flaffle) you may post a form on behalf of someone else in the event that they have A: given you permission and B: are not able (for whatever reason) to do so themselves.

11. All payment for pets is due within 24 hours of winning/buying the pet and receiving confirmation of your win. Failure to send the trade will result in the pet being resold or sold to the last bidder.

12. No trading or reselling pets from this shop.

13. Please do not spam us with J-rock/K-rock celebrity pictures for references and too many extreme styles like ganguro/visual kei looks. We want you to be original not just copy a fashion trend

14. Please post your form to the 'character cert thread' once you have won.

15. Co-owning is only possible if the characters are twins or a duo. Only 1 person per kid please.

16. MAGIC IS NOT GENETIC! Siblings, parents, second cousins, 5th uncles thrice removed, whatever cannot be magical. The only ONLY ONLY way to get magical family members is through auctions and events, and they will be clearly marked as who they are and who they're related to. (This will usually only be twins/siblings) Any magical kids with pre-existing magical family made BEFORE August 6th, 2011 are ok. We're not going to make you change anything you've already created.

17. You must name your new magical kid within a month, or it will be rehomed without refund. A month means if you get it on the 5th of February, you have till the 5th of March to post certing info, or the kid will belong to the shop once again.

It was a dark and stormy night in the middle of a cliche'd city. The rain was sticky and hot, and the rooftops of this faraway city were steaming from the heat of the day meeting the night air. That was the kind of night when the last Beacon was stolen. You'd think there would have been more of a dramatic setting; on rooftops, with a sword fight and a final breath, and a last curse. It was just hot and sticky.

After that there was a long time of cold loneliness in a world of dulled and muted colors. Like all the joy had been sucked right out of the place.
A lot of loneliness.
A lot of sadness.

To this day, no one knows why Thief! opened up the room that she kept the Beacons in, took out... just a few, and threw them into the streets of King's city. Some suspect that she did not set them loose at all, but that Aphrodite, cunning as a fox, tricked Thief! into releasing some of the Beacons.

The Beacons did what they do best. They found suitable vessels to manifest in. They caused havoc, they changed... everything. Once they would have spread across the world. Showing up in odd places, far-flung. But not this time. Too many different signals and auras, and the Beacons wound up in King's City.

The actress plays her part. Aphrodite bends down and smells the freshly cut grass of the park. She says her lines; "I might be the villain of your story." and she dances to the tune of another lover's song. And she hopes that you will be the one to free her from this nightmare.

Now more and more of the Beacons have escaped. Strong Beacons like the Dual Aspects. Weak Beacons, mixed Beacons and the N-aspected Beacons. The magical force released is incredible.

Thief! calls the N-aspected Beacons to her, she tells them about the game that she wants to play.

"Bring out your Chompahs. I smell sparkling ribbons." Thief! instructs her muscles and grunt. She wants to recapture the Beacons now. After letting so many loose-- now she wants to play The Big One.

King's City is awash with sightings of strange vigillantees and even stranger powers and battles. Five second video clips stream on youtube. Each Beacon brings with it, its own story and complications. But can they united to stop Thief! from taking all this away again? Do they even have a choice?

King's City is a small, multinational city in the middle of X country. It has a large, dense population of hard-nosed, hard-working citizens. With a low crime rate, low taxes and plenty of schools, its main claim to glory is the art sculptures in the central park. They were done by a long dead famous modernist artist. Most of the office building don't reach above twenty stories and there are four competing 'big name' companies in the city, chief of which is Daifu Industries.
Also, the gelato in King's city is the best in the country. Just ask the locals.

There are four high schools in King's city, and while there is a college and other occupations are open to people for the taking, high-schoolers will be the bulk of our armies. All 4 schools are available

Valley High: a public school of good standing, they often win the annual art and sports competitions. The school uniform consists of a pale yellow vest, black ribbon, white shirt and black skirt/pants.

School colors: Yellow and black
Mascot: Bumble bee

Applereach: A high school for troubled teens, both girls and boys. They usually do a lot of community projects, like cleaning graffiti and anti-drugs campaigns.. There is no uniform at Applereach High. But a dress code is-- occasionally-- enforced No jewelery, no legwarmers, no piercings and absolutely no fake tattoos (or chewing gum in the halls!)

School colors: Green and purple
Mascot: Praying Mantis

Tidal Heights Academy for boys: A strict, prestigious all boy's school. They pride themselves on being the cream of the crop, ranking top in the country for many academic and sporting events. They won’t allow just any boy to enroll. Only those who excel in academics are even considered for enrollment. Grades alone are not enough however. Tuition can be steep. But for a select lucky few, scholarships are offered. There are dorms on campus and it is encouraged to live in them. It adds to tuition, but for foreign students, they’re a necessity.

School colors: Blue and Silver
Mascot: Whale

Ember Ridge Academy for girls: A prestigious school with an all female student body. They excel in theater and performance arts, though they are far from lacking in academics and are ranked as the number 1 school for girls. Of all the schools, they are the most strict on dress code. Punishment for dress code infractions can range from extra classes to expulsion from school.

School colors: Red and white
Mascot: Hawk






A note about school dress codes: Occasionally kids will be seen at any given school breaking the dress code. It could be something as simple as too much jewelry or sloppy improperly worn uniforms. Even though it is possible to get characters blatantly breaking their school's dress codes be prepared for them to be considered troublemakers and spending a lot of time in detention. Sadly, this is the cost of such fashion choices.

A note about the Academies: Tidal Heights and Ember Ridge are 100% GENDER EXCLUSIVE. Never, under any circumstance will there be someone, faculty or student, of the opposite gender in one school. Sorry, no boys in the girl school, nor girls in the boy school. Don’t even ask.

King's College: There is one college in King's city. Those who have graduated from high school, but decided to further their education would attend this school. There is no dress code, it's Co-Ed. As of this time, college professors are not obtainable, only students.
(For RP opportunities, all college students go to the same college. I shouldn't even have to say this. RP with your class mates.)

Mahou-ko: the short hand for magical girl/boy that Sweets slapped on one day to make her life easier. You don't need to use it, just marvel at the simplicity.
Beacon: These are the objects or markings used to transform into a magical girl.
Aspect: all magical girls/boys have an aspect. Aspects influence the whole of your magical girl/boy's powers and identity. Here is the list from rarest to most common. If you want an aspect not listed that you aren't sure of its rarity, just ask! all aspects are valued at the same power-level.
A rare aspect is no more powerful than a common, (duals and n-aspect excluded...) of the same stage, but rare aspects are priced higher to discourage lots of people spamming those elements. You may ask for an aspect not specifically listed at any time.
-Dual aspect: dual aspected magical girls/boys have two aspects (no duh). They are the rarest aspects and only a dozen or so will be sold. They are more powerful than other aspects, and will be RP required IF and WHEN sold. Some may be given out to dedicated players as prizes for being awesome. Not likely, but who knows.
-Rare: Purity, love, time, death, life, destruction, rebirth, cosmos, hate, dreams
Uncommon: healing, positive energy, negative energy, psychic energy, storms, secrets (mysteries), moon, sun, animals
-N-aspect: neither rare, uncommon or common, N-aspected magical girls/boys are negative aspected. Meaning they are evil or unnatural aspects of nature. They have their own powers and special abilities (see guild)
-Common: wind, fire, earth, air, water, electricity, thunder, clouds, planets, plants, light, darkness, flowers, sound, crystals, heroes/legends (Hercules/King Arthur/Mark Twain), god/desses (Ra/diane/Thor), illusion--- pretty much anything not in the other two categories--

Pairs: Some magical girls/boys come in pairs, be it opposites or matching sets. Most FS and auction pets will be sold with the 'pair' themes, but some may just be sold randomly. Examples of pairs:
-Kaitou/Keiji (thief/detective)
-Angel/Demon
-Angel/Angel
-Fairy/Demon
-Night/Day
-Knight/Princess
-Princess/Prince
-Tiger/Dragon
-Fire/Water and
-Sky/Earth
-samurai/ninja
-samurai/lord
-lightning/thunder
-zodiac

Chompahs: usually small fluffy balls with teeth, these creatures of PURE EVIL are made from the crushed hopes and dreams of others, by and for use with any salad dressing N-aspects. They are loyal and ravenously hungry always.

There are three stages to these characters: School student, Mahou unleashed!, and Grand ultimate whatever.

First stage: school student.

User Image

This stage does not require RP, but if you do not RP, you character won't become a magical girl/boy. Nothing wrong with that. Normal people are awesome too. For now they are a normal student that can not transform yet at all. The only exception is during a special RP with either Thief! or Aphrodite (depending on what side they are on) when their magical powers awaken for the first time. These are known as Awakening RPs and are required to reach stage 2.

Second stage: Mahou unleashed!
User Image


You have gained access to your magical girl powers and are able to run round rooftops defeating villains and hatching insane plots and avoiding your imminent death. With enough RP and dedication, this stage will lead you to...
REQUIREMENTS:
-> 3 RPs (You must post at least 8 posts in each)
-> Journal must be started (it can get away with having no content. It just needs to exist)
-> Meeting with Aphrodite or Thief (this can be a solo RP, if none of the managers can do it)
-> Meeting with group/pair members (If applicable, also can count for the RP count)

Third Stage: Ultimate Cheeseburger with curly fries combo attack!
These are so mysterious and awesome that there are no preview images yet.


Be it princess, goddess, queen, divine being, sage, demon, or angel, you have become the best of the best. More attacks, stronger powers and a super awesome outfit are now yours~!
REQUIREMENTS:
-> 15 RPs (Minimum of 15 posts in each)
-> Meaningful participation in at least 1 meta event. (This can count as 1 of your 15 RPs)
-> Journal completely filled and completed.
-> Another meeting with Aphrodite or Thief .

The Magical Union: the MU is basically all the magical girls who don't mind the idea of keeping their heads, and not letting Thief! get away with these dastardly plans. Disorganized and unruly, these gal's are doing whatever it takes to survive day to day for the most part.

The Dastardly Dynamic Distributors of Mayhem: Or the 'triple D-M' are the mercenary-esque N-aspects who work for Thief! and performs many a worrying and vile deed. All are well trained, and tend to 'do their own thing' for the most part, although some work with other N-aspects.

GHOULS: Ghouls is a faction that recruits its members a little forcefully, and be you N-aspect or not, if you have their... desired attributes, they are interested. The leader of this organization is an N-aspect called Necromancer. A bit of a ghastly and gothic organization, not much is known about their agenda or their motivations. As yet they have yet to make an appearance in Kings City.

NPCS of note:
Thief!: an N-aspected 'endings' magical girl. She's about 32-- or her voice suggests that age. She's never seen without her mask covering her face. Thief! seems to be just a little bit crazy, a little bit evil, and a little bit odd. Her motives don't make a lot of sense, and her plans for the future are... well, strange.

Aphrodite: Aphro is a funny gal. She always introduces herself with the exact same line, and while she has a funny sense of humour and is generally... helpful, she doesn't seem to be a lot of help against Thief! Whenever the proverbial hits the fan, Aphrodite is usually legging it or already gone. Leaving others to fight the battle. Other than a magical sense for 'chosen' by the beacons, Aphrodite doesn't seem to have any powers.

These are the people that have been either very awesome of horrible depending on what list you are in. Since this is still a fairly new shop we don't have many people up here yet.

White list
This is where we list the people that have been helpful and a joy to be around.

All the awesome shop goers that make this a fun place to be at. Thank you everyone for sticking around and rocking.

Grey list
Anyone listed here is on probation for either really bad behavior or rule breaking. If they continue being unruly they will get sent to the blacklist. Those on the grey list can't get new kids but they can still play the kids they have.

- Eternal Melody

Black list
Anyone here is banned from the shop for doing something absolutely horrible (like stealing the art, severely harassing others for example). If you have a pet here you are still allowed to use it as sig candy but you are no longer welcome in the shop thread or guild. RP wise everyone believes your character moved out of town.

Auric Halcyon: Colourist/Certer. Status - Distracted by WoW
(AKA, sweetdeily/sweets)Sweets is probably the person least likely to be on the mule at any given phase of the moon. Adept at breaking anything mechanical in only a few minutes of contact, and prone to fits of blinding rage when she is not prevented from venturing to the WF, she enjoys Fijian Pina-colada, Russian Caprioska, and can be bribed with shinies to reveal the truths of the cosmos.

emothunder: OWNER Colorist (and dedicated chatterbox) Status - Being lazy
Emo doesn't like to talk about her feelings and instead feels that interpretive dance is the ONLY WAY TO GO. If Emo is seen dancing in your thread, do a quick backwards barrel roll and eat a lemon. This will prevent outbreaks of extreme muscle cramps and spontaneous nosebleeds. Also, Emo may cause awesome-sauce to leak from your waffles. This is a normal and natural reaction. (Unless you do not have waffles in some part of your body, in which case the leaking of awesome sauce should be consulted with a doctor.)

Lirende Colorist Status - Shop approved hiatus
To be filled in

Lural Colourist/Inker and the one who is always right Status - Use this doll to show me where Aphrodite touched you.
Lural is like a mad sugar high moose with nothing to lose. She is a a bit of a control freak with a lot on her plate, and a little too much on her mind.....or possibly not enough. Full frontal lobotomy in process.

Yousei Akki RP manager Status - Pending investigation. We assume there's life here!

c h e e r f u l CYNIC Part time artist Status - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Q: Are dual aspects only available through special events?


A: In short terms; yes. In long terms, you may bribe a dual aspect for a hefty sum of gold.

Q: Can I have a character with more than 2 aspects?


A: No. Simply no. The most is 2, being a dual-aspect.

Q: I want to have a character with a pairing but I don't have anyone to pair with, can I still have the character?


A: Yes. By all means. Having options open to pairings is always good and lets people get to know each other better!

Q: What's the go with doubling up on aspects? That is, if I want a fire aspect but someone else already has that aspect? Can I still get it?

A: Because of the 'pairs/sets' there can be multiple of the same aspect running around in Kings City. This is less likely to happen for the rare or dual-aspected, but common aspects like elements may run into each other.

Q: If I am from a pair and I meet someone from a set, am I stronger than them?

A: No. The only characters who start out stronger than others are the Dual-aspects. All second stage characters are the same strength. Some aspects may be more powerful than others, however.

Q: I have an idea for a character, but you meanies rejected it!?! Why?

A: Because of the open nature of our RP system, I want characters to feel equal in power from the get-go. Perhaps your idea was too powerful, or didn't seem very 'workable' in our world.

Q: Why can't I have a Japanese-pop/rock-culture styled character?

A: Because we said so, that's why. If you can convince us that your visual-kei guy will really be super amazing, then maybe you can bend her will. Jedi mind tricks are equally as likely to help.

Q: Does that mean I can't have a character from Japan!?!?

A: No, not at all. You can have a Japanese character, but it means that our artists will not be drawing many visual-kei/ganguro/oshare/cosplay/cerebu(celeb)/ etc. styles. We are hoping to keep them to a very bare minimum (about the regularity with which they appear in real life in a small city in a generic multicultural country.)

Q: I want a cross-dressing male/female, would that be okay!?!

A: These are on a case-by-case thing. Depending on the idea, the style, the reasoning, the humour, and how much you butter staff up, depends on your chances. Female in men's clothing is usually a go, but men in women's is a little more iffy. But really, don't hold your breath for one.

Q: I have a character from X shop that I want brought across into this shop, can I give you refs for the lines there?

A: Well for starters, unless its absolutely necessary, we don't like reference pictures. We like to draw things from scratch, brand new with a fresh approach. *cough* It's probably best if we don't know? But there are some cases where we might be persuaded...

Q: Do we choose what the Aspects for the Flatsale characters are or do you already have them chosen?

A: For some FS the aspect will be decided ahead of time, but unless otherwise stated, the aspect for any FS pet is open to negotiation of any common aspect. You can pick from the list or make one up. The list is more of a reference then a 'only these' Since all stage 2s are only available through RP, all are custom drawn when RP occurs.

Q: Who controls the chompahs in combat?

A: You do! If you're an N-aspect, you have a couple of these guys to control. If you're in an awakening, There's likely one trying to eat your face, so taking minor control of it to attack you is perfectly fine. Loss of fingers is not covered by our healthcare plan.

Q: Hey wait a minute! how much are sales?

A: Sales, be they flat sales, flaffles, or prompt sales are all 20K

Lural: for continuing to supply us with art and kindness.

LordPocky: The lord of chocolate sticks I enjoy sticking in my mouth and chewing on--- for the arting and the slaving, and the slavish devotion. And the love. Mostly the love.

CosmicBunni: for letting us use her siggy ideas and also being a big help.

Emothunder: for relentlessly bumping, being friendly and... taking up the mantle and heavy load of the thread when all others failed.

To all our wonderful hardworking staff! Who are just brimming with helpful ideas, good directions and thoughts and positive energy, keep up the fabulous work guys~

This section is under construction!


-Quest forms will be looked at FIRST when we choose customs.
-Customs are not first come first serve. They are weighed on concept. (Get those quest threads up!)
-If staff likes a quest enough, you might just find yourself with a kid... free of charge!

Pro tips:
-A quest thread has a better chance of being noticed if you make a point of being active in the shop thread. This will lead us to believe if your kid get's made they will be played.
-Quests that are up to date are loved. If you tweak a quest, feel free to bump it/edit the title to include the date you modified it. This way we know you're still interested in it!
-If customs are announced, and you feel your quest thread is perfect, it's ok to bump it without tweaking anything.

Customs are currently: CLOSED
When they will open next: ???

Prices: (being recalculated)
