The Seraphii's history is clouded in obscurity, but I once heard a story. It went something like this...


    A long long time ago, when the Earth was just being created, a couple of "forms" decided that they would pay a little visit. It was said that these forms were wafts of emotions and life. They were waiting for things to grow on this solemn little planet, because they had no where else to go. They roamed the barren lands, wishing to give life to anything.. But there was nothing.

    This was when their true emotions showed. There was anger, loneliness, happiness, calmness, and many many more. Soon, they did not get along anymore. Constant arguing caused them to wage "war" against each other. This lasted for many years. If you were there, all you could hear was the sharp sound of emotions clashing into each other... Wails, screams, menacing laughter, sobbing... it was all there.

    But one day, all the emotions crashed into each other at once. An explosion that was felt through out space. Fragments of these emotions mixed, and they rained upon the earth. A while passed, and all was silent for once. The emotions were soaked in by the planet, and were trapped forever. How do we know that these forms had an ability to allow life? Because slowly, things began to grow. The tears from the Melancholy left oceans and rivers. The rage of the Anger forced mountains up, and the gentle sounds of the Peaceful left whisps of clouds...

    But... The emotions fell asleep one day. They had prepared for this though, and they left fragments of their existance in small chips of rocks. Each emotion contributed a little to a rock, but each emotion had a rock that would represent them the most. Anger embedded his in a volcano, Laughter thrust his up in a cloud, and so on... Eventually they fell fast asleep, not knowing when they would wake.

    And so the little pieces of rock stayed where they were. Nature eventually contributed their own little bit, and so it is said that the rocks were "elemental". They were very fond of the peculiar little rocks, and took good care of them, never letting them get scratched or broken. This continued on for several years.

    When the creator of earth saw how the emotions had come to this planet before s/he did, s/he decided to recreate the world in his/her own way. S/he sent angels to clear up the place... But they noticed the peculiar little rocks that seemed to glow when there was no light. After the world was cleared, the angels gathered the rocks and made a grand castle...! They knew something special was to come out of them, so the angels wanted them to have a lovely place to live. The angels left caring and love into the rocks, hoping that they would grow up strong. The creator though, did not like the idea, and built the world the way it is today.

    The creator intended to destroy the castle and get rid of the rocks, but the angels pleaded. They made a deal to settle this, so they agreed to leave the castle, but it would be in a parallel dimension... Things went fine and the angels checked up on the rocks every once in awhile.

    The rocks never showed any sign of life though... and were soon forgotten.

Perhaps this is how the Seraphii came to be?

These are the current known stages.


Each and every Seraphii is unique. The actions you make in-character carry over to their images, so this means you have maximum interaction with your Seraphii!

Every stage has a pose and design specifically made for your Seraphii.

Likewise, to keep the uniqueness, there will be only one Seraphii of each element. This means that there can only exist one ice element seraphii, one fire element, one light element, etc.

They cannot breed until they are adults.

. . . Life Cycle . . .
  • Rock (7+ days) [1+ entries]
    This is the stage where the Seraphii is dormant, it might be able to communicate to you in an odd way. Take good care of it! Not much RPing is required here besides, perhaps, having your character "discover" the rock some how. Be creative!

  • Baby (14+ days) [~4"] [1+ entries]
    Seraphii babies tend to sleep a lot, they're focusing on developing their powers and getting ready for the world. They depend on their clouds to carry them around and their wings are too small to be able to assist them in flight. Their eyes cannot open and they cannot openly communicate with you. However, they may respond with facial expressions towards the senses: hear, smell, feel

  • Child (25+ days) [~6"] [5+ entries]
    Now, they are usually awake and demand a lot of attention! They can speak but their wings are still too small to be able to fly - so they hover around on their clouds. At this point in time, Seraphiies are able to take on easy quests in the guild HQ. They are all rather naive and curious at this stage - so let them explore and meet new friends.

  • Teen (30+ days) [~8"] [continual RP or 5+ entries]
    At the teen stage, they'll be old enough to take care of themselves. But they still hang around their owner. Their wings are finally large enough to enable flight - but the cloud still follows them around in case they get tired. They are able to use their abilities and spells to a moderate effect.

    At this stage, they can purchase an amulet that will summon a sentinel.

  • Adult (30+ days) [~11"] [continual RP]
    They don't need their clouds anymore, infact, they fly freely with their large wings. They try to help out their owners, but they also work on their own magic ability. Now is the time for Seraphiies to max out their skills and work on quests... Eventually they will turn into something else...!

    Sentinel should be summoned already by this stage.

  • Spirit (forever) [can change sizes] [continual RP]
    To get to this stage, the wings of the adult have to start glowing. Then they must complete the final quest. If they have a sentinel, it can provide aid and advice along the way.

    When the quest is completed, the Seraphii will absorb as much of its element as it can and turn completely different. But, this is pretty much guesses. ;D

    In order to grow, you must fill out the following growth form and submi it to Kohae for review:

    Quote:
    Seraphii:

    Stage they are growing to:

    Any details you need us to know? (appearance, personality, hobbies your Seraphii has, etc.):

    I confirm that I have fulfilled the growth requirements. (Puchiko will be checking once you submit your form!):

Please read before you even bother posting.

  • Please read the stuff on this page. We don't want to be asked the same questions over and over again.
  • Don't beg. Self-explanatory.
  • Don't ask if there are Seraphiies for sale. Read the Events post to find out.
  • Be respectful. Treat people like how you would want them to treat you.
  • Please do not flame Div or Seraphii in any way...She didn't mean to..okay?? IRL >>>> Gaia. Remember that.
  • Co-owning is not encouraged. Why no co-owning? Because it's harder to RP your Seraphii, you both have to agree what kind of personality and what kind of actions... Although it is allowed. Just not encouraged. Same with the sentinels - sentinels are supposed to give people without Seraphiies a chance to interact in this little RP.
  • One Seraphii per person. I think one is enough, don't you? X)
  • No sticky paws. Art is (c) Lena Ruan 2004-06-- that's Divinite. Don't steal her art.

. . . Flatsales . . .
  • The flatsale price for each Seraphii is 20k. This may change later on depending on how business is going.
  • The sales will always be a RP-prompt based.
  • The prompt will be posted a few minutes before the "GO" signal, and the amount of time you have to write it will vary. All entries must be posted in the flatsale thread.
  • You must write your own entry. This is you showing us that you are good enough to take care of a Seraphii.
  • The results will be announced in two days, tops.
  • Also, you may only try for 1 at a sale. We want other people to have a chance too!
  • If you already have a Seraphii, you can't take part.
  • If you win the sale but do not have the needed amount of gold, you have up to five days to get it to us. If you fail to do so, the seraphii will go to the runner-up.
  • And PLEASE do NOT discourage others!

. . . Auctions . . .
  • We will take items at lowest MP price. Calculate your bid total yourself please!
  • You must have the money when you bid. You have up to 24 hours after the auction to procure the bid you won with.
  • You cannot participate if you already have a Seraphii.
  • Don't intimidate others or discuss your funds in the thread.
  • Cheerleading is okay, but DON'T put other competitors down.
  • You CANNOT retract your bid.

Hello and welcome to the item shop. ^^

Items have specific stages that they appear in. Such as the plushies are only for the stages baby and child. After your Seraphii has left those stages, the items will remain in the inventory box, but will not show up on your Seraphii.

Please purchase them in the stage prior to the item available stage.
Ex: If you want a kitty plushie in the baby stage, purchase it while it is still a rock.

User Image


The blobs of color under the plushies are the colors they are available in. Specify which one you want when you order, okay?

  • Ghost of Past Failures - Purple Octopus
  • TheMadHatter - White Bunny

Quest Kiosk / Chronicles

Baby seraphii are NOT able to do quests.

. . . Quest Types . . .

Quests are defined as such:

Quest Title :: # of people (location) . type [difficulty level] . taken by/assigned to . {status}
"description"
(notes)

ex. Cleaning Duty :: single (HQ) . suplementary [D] . Kohae . {completed}
"The courtyard in front of the HQ is full of fallen leaves because it's autumn. People are starting to get tired of having to walk through them every day. Somebody needs to rake them up!"
(What will you do with all the leaves? How will you collect them all?)


Quest Title: The name of the quest. This is how it will be referred to everywhere.

# of people: The amount of people required to be eligible for the quest. If it is "single", you RP the quest solo. If it is "double" or more, you need to recruit some friends to assist you on the quest.

location: The thread/place you need to RP the quest.

type: There are three types of quests. "Growth", "Suplementary" and "Metaplot". Growth quests will trigger growths in your Seraphii if completed successfully, suplementary quests are simply there to enrich your RP (they are optional), and metaplot quests are mandatory for the metaplot to move on.

difficulty: The difficulty is given in [brackets], and is always a letter from A to E. "S" level quests do exist, but they are extremely rare. The difficulty level of the quest depicts how hard it is to complete and how much effort needs to be put in it.

taken by/assigned to: If it says "available", that means people can sign up for it. If it is "reserved", that means nobody has claimed it but it is being put on hold for someone. If it has a Seraphii name in it, that means it has been claimed by him/her.

status: There are three possible statuses. "Complete", "Concluded" and "Active". Complete means that the quest was successfully finished, with all the terms fulfilled. Concluded means that the quest was finished but not all terms were fulfilled. Active means the quest is still ongoing.

notes: OOC notes created to help you along with the quest.




. . . Quest Listings . . .

Tree Planting :: single (HQ) . suplementary [D] . Farrah . {active}
__In the sudden outbreak of strong winds around the HQ caused by Kohae practicing her powers, one of the smaller trees has fallen over. Someone should clean it up and plant a new one in its place.
(How will you dispose of the tree? Where will you get the seeds? How will you go about planting it, and what kind of tree will you plant?)


Mysterious Stranger :: double (HQ) . metaplot [C] . unavailable . {...}
__A weird person has been hanging around the HQ lately... I wonder what they want?
(n/a)


Decorating :: single (chronicle) . suplementary [D] . Cheret . {active}
__Chai and Kohae feel that the walls of the HQ feel a bit bare. Unfortunately, neither of them have the time to go buy paintings! Somebody needs to get some decorative stuff to hang on the walls of the HQ.
(How will you get the paintings/decorations? What will they look like?)




. . . RP Rules . . .
    You must make at least two entries per month. If you do not, your Seraphii will fade away.
    Announce your hiatuses, and when you will be back. This is important for us to keep tabs on you.
    Do not godmode. This means you cannot make your pet invincible in RP or control someone else's pet without their permission. Godmodding is extremely bad etiquette.
    Keep track of where your character is. They shouldn't be roleplaying too much at the same time... remember to keep your IC timeline organized!
    Stick to the established metaplot. This is important in keeping all the individual Seraphii storylines consistent.
    Remember to remain in character. Characters obviously evolve, but there is a difference between evolution, and spontaneous and implausible personality change. We will be keeping tabs on this.
    Please try to RP with others. In fact, RP would be much preferred to journal entries, and can actually be used to fill your journal-entry quota. Please, please try to RP much as possible.
    Use spellcheck and proper grammar in your RP please~

Sentinels are creatures summoned through an amulet. Their element and appearance is based on the Seraphii that owned the amulet.

So for example Diablo, who is a fire element seraphii, would summon a fire element Sentinel.


User Image


Their job is to protect their charge and guide them through quests and such. The owner of the Seraphii who summoned the sentinel cannot keep the sentinel and must give it away to a friend.

It is recommended that you are close with the person you give the sentinel because you will be RP'ing a lot with each other!

Some frequently asked questions. Have a question? Feel free to PM me or post on this thread.


Pet trades?
Sorry, but no. Unless either Lena or Puchi really really really want something. 8D

Flat sales?!
Yes! They will be RP-prompt based, not speed. Read the Flatsale rules for more info!

Would you be my affiliate? ;D
Sure thing~! Just send me a PM with your shop's link and a button and I'll put it up on the affiliates post. (It might take a few days - please be patient.)

Aaah. The auctions go too high! Is there any other way I can get a Seraphii?
Yes there is! Events/contests! They'll be floating around once in awhile.

But what if I'm bad at writing stories?
You see, Seraphiies are pets that you have to roleplay a lot. There is a story/history to their existance. (I need to get that started XD) So if you are good at writing stories, I'm sure you would be superb at roleplaying.

What program do you use to color/draw them?
Painter, and sometimes blurry effects in Photoshop.

How come Seraphiies come from rocks? o_0;
Well, they don't really 'come from' rocks. It's like... Hmm, I guess "summoning" would be a fitting verb. I got the rock idea from those hope stones.. You know, they're flat and you're supposed to keep them in your pocket for good luck and stuff? Well, I thought it would be interesting to see a pet thing start off as a stone. XD

How many elements will there be?
The current listed elements are the ones that are going to be Seraphiies for sure. Although there will be more - the elements are unknown.

Do you need any help?
Not at the moment, but if we do, we'll scramble to get volunteers from the thread!

Deplicot/Daxanian/Gahka/d.Roxas.b - Ban Permanent - Don't try to cheat in contests - you will get found out. Same with making multiple mules! Man oh man. We are not stupid, dude.
