Before you go any further into the shop, I ask you please read and abide by these rules. Breaking the rules once will get you on the greylist, twice and you're on the blacklist.
Of course, exceptions can and will be made if the situation calls for such action.
WOOO RULES YAH YAH YAH
1. Please, no spamming or stretching the page
2. No being a poor sport if you didn't win an auction or flatsale
3. Harassment of me (Feather) or Jyoti will earn you a permanent spot on the blacklist
4. All roleplay here in this thread and in Catori journals MUST be kept PG-13
5. No begging for a pet or making little 'hinty-hints' you want a free one or some s**t like that
6. Yes, you can swear in both your journal and this thread. But not too excessively~ ;D
Greylist
-none-
Blacklist
-none-
F.A.Q.
Are you doing pet trades?
*thwaps* Information on pet trades are located on the bottom of the first page. READ THERE FOOL~ XD
GIMME ONE PL0X FOO!!!!!!28kjsjhcheese D:<
No, foo. =O
Is there a possibility of you killing my Catori off?
I believe this has already been covered. u__u
How exactly will breeding work? These things are made of like, spirit stuff right? D:
They're maggicalll~ so I'm sure something can be arranged. There aren't even any Catori out yet, much less any adults. All will be revealed in time.
I CAN'T RP OMG~
My roleplay mentor was a strict literate, and I've found myself becoming the same. Neither I, nor the people you're roleplaying with will put up with one-liners, general despies, horrible mangling of the English language, or godmoding, or whatever other things you can concoct.
And yes Lisa, if you by some miracle ever read this, I really do consider you my roleplay mentor. XD
*insert random question flatsale question here
A flatsale specific FAQ is put up at the actual flatsale thread.

I tried to stop it, but the darkness continued to advance. Nothing could be done to save my world. So I fled, taking my people's traditions, memories, and the secret of the Catori race with me. Kari had already been swallowed and presumably destroyed by the shadows, so I left alone.
I was the last of the Mahu; the last of the guides and hosts of our dear creations, the Catori. My name is Zinaida.

Zinaida Nuru:::
A native to the islands on which the last of the Catori and their guardians spent their lives, Zin is the one behind the "Catori Project". That is, the finding of the descendents of the original guardians, resummoning their respective Catori, and bringing her world out of its shadowy prison. Selfish? Maybe. But her motives are sincere, regardless.
Zinaida's very enthusiastic about her work, and is also known for being very energetic and spunky. She's also a bit cocky, but always seems to keep her composure no matter the situation.
her Catori, Kari:::
Serving almost like a second Zin, Kari is also actively involved in the Catori Project. Not much about her is known, other than she acts exactly like Zinaida. She is capable of foresight, or being able to tell the future.
more NPCs will be added as the shop furthers along in development

According to the ancient texts, the Catori are known to reach five significant stages throughout their time. The fifth one, however, is shrouded in mystery, seeing as no Catori has ever reached it.
:::::stage one: the infant
Congratulations! You've just become an official Catori guardian, and have managed to summon your baby. At this time, your toddler shall be exceptionally dependent on you, and according to how well you raise and care for it, its personality will be decided. Of course, not all Catori are good, as all human hearts are not pure. Their alignment is completely up to you.
:::::stage two: the child
At this time, the Catori have managed to grow into their child years. Personality strengths and flaws will begin to show at this time. Also, now would be a good time to start teaching him or her about the element which they can draw power from and how to use its related magic. (ie: an earth element Catori may have the power to begin earthquakes and move landmasses)
:::::stage three: the teen
Oh...yay. Your Catori has grown into a teenager! Even if they are magical beings, they still can't escape teenage angst. It's reccomended you keep a careful eye on your child at this time, since it's likely they'll become emerrsed in studying and using their magic. Make sure they don't hurt themselvesss~~ Also, relationships may start to bloom. Watch out for those too, ne?
:::::stage four: the young adult
Mastery of their element comes to the Catori at this stage. Relationships between Catori will strengthen no doubt, and all traces of teenage angst SHOULD be gone. At this point, their side on "good" or "evil" should be fully recognizable, be it in their clothes, attitude, or physical appearance, whatever. If they haven't begun to do so already, they should begin to make trips to the planet Helaku and realize their destinies as Hania.
:::::stage five: immortal- Hania (the spirit warrior)
Nothing is known about this stage at this time.

As I'm hoping it's obvious, the Catori are indeed roleplay intensive. Journals must be kept for them. However, I know we're all human and have lives. Therefore:
I ask you write a journal entry at least once a month. And that's downright sad if you can't even do that. @W@;;
If you can't make that requirement, then please don't participate in any of the flatsales or auctions.
Catori whose journals are neglected in such a fashion will likely be killed off or involved in the shop plot and become NPCs, since it wouldn't make sense to have them given to another owner.
Group roleplay, either private or open, is highly encouraged either in the guild or in the main shop thread. Please make sure to post them into your journal, if they are in the main thread, or the link to the rp if it was done in the guild.
information about the planet of the Catori will ALSO be here, but we won't really have to worry about that yet, since no one but Kari can go there ;3
Growth
Think it's time to your Catori grew? WELL UNTIL WE SAY SO, IT'S NOT HARHARHAR~ For the first growing, toddler to child, the shop will be watching your journal for activity and will give you your quest when we find it appropriate. This shop will NOT run on post requirements, rather, for the most part, your good judgement. From the growth Child to Teen on, simply PM ZinaidaNuru account and ask if you are allowed to do a quest for whatever stage you're coming to. We'll respond with a yes or no after reviewing your journal, and you may begin your quest. You can create your own storyline for your Catori, but only if we approve it.

HITHERE~ I'm Feather! Some people call me Robin, which is my real name, but usually only if I personally give it to them. It's a PRIVLEDGE, DAMMIT. Anyways, I'm this thread's resident 14-year old and shopkeeper. I love Jy to death for doing this project with me, and I love ALL YOU PEOPLEZ who've stuck around and made this thread a great place to hang out at. I'm a horrible procrastinator, so it usually takes a few prods to get me to do stuff. n___n;
I live in Michigan, I'm a freshman in highschool... and uh... I like asparagus.
HAVE A NICE DAY AND GO POO~
