//. [Rules]
Read them, know them, obey them. It's not that much to ask. Offenders will at the least be warned and at the most blacklisted and if needed, reported to a mod. Take this seriously. We're not asking for your firstborn, but we do ask that you at least respect the rules in our house.
01.
Do not steal. I cannot stress this enough. Just don't do it. Don't steal the art and don't blatantly rip the work. Try to be original.
02.
Check the drama at the door. Don't talk s**t about our shop, the staff, owners, other shops, other people... basically, if you can't be nice, don't say anything. I will not tolerate bad-mouthing of other gaians and shops at all, and anyone doing so will be warned and reprimaed. (And likely greylisted.)
03.
No trolling or harassment. This is part of the Gaia ToS - I will not tolerate harassmnet of staff, owners, lurkers, etc. You will be reported.
04.
No begging. Begging, whinign and otherwise making misery for a pet/lack of one is rude and irritating, and makes you less likely to be considered for anything. So don't.
05.
No altering things! While you can use them in your sig images/maps and such, you may not add anything to the cert or change what's on the cert. If you need it updated, ask!
06.
Mintaka has final say in all shop issues. If there is a problem, and shop staff must step in, what is decided is final - while we try to be reasonable we will try to make a fair decision to end the problem as soon as possible. If there's an issue, PM the mule.
07.
Don't PM the staff personally unless given permission! Use the mule for PM inquiries, unless asked otherwise. PMs to the main accoutns without permission will result ina warning and/or greylisting.
08.
These rules are subject to change as needed. Mind, you'll be notified of them, and I don't really see the mass need to have more, we do reserve the right to alter or add them or remove as needed. Shopkeep's right.
//. [Frequently Asked Questions]
Or, things you're likely wondering about.
01.
Are these RP Required?
--- While RP isn't required, there's plenty of perks to it including stat growth towards elderhood, higher ranks, and possible other perks. We will NOT, however, rehome your Zoaria if you do not RP.
02.
How many can I own?
--- Yes, just remmeber that Zoaria on opposing influences often will not share secrets, and that the clans tend to jealously guard their abilities. (Not that a Sapphire could leanr a ruby's techs, but still.)
03.
How can I get one?
--- Flatsales, raffles, and auctions when they occur, custom slots when opened, and occasionally other means may crop up such as special events. Also, a decent bribe may also convince Mintaka.
04.
What's this 'elder' stage and how do I get it?
--- Elders are the last 'evolution' of the Zoaria - they are twice as powerful as a normal adult of the same rank (so an alpha elder would be pretty damn badass in terms of ability), and generally respect and revered more, as it is a sign of maturity, understanding, and coming to terms with one's truth. Eldership is attained though activity and dedication, and requires at the minimum stats to max out before one can be considered for elder. Sometimes, this is all that is needed - sometimes some great event is also required that would change the Zoaria's life and outlook. The exact determinations for an elder to occur is unknown, as no two Zoaria have walked the same path to achieving it. (Cosplays will auto-come as elder, and certain special auctions otherwise may allow it.)

//. [The Lists of Law and Chaos]
[[ Law List ]]
These people have been generally good, helpful, and outstanding individuals and deserve props for their help and good nature.
chaeval - for being a wonderful person, and helping me along with this.
[[ Neutrality List ]]
Individuals here have not deemed themselves too far gone yet, and may yet redeem themselves. However, for the duration of their time spent here, they cannot purchase any new Zoaria, nor breed, or participate in major events - RP or otherwise. Persistent problems while ehre will result in being put upon the Chaos list.
No one.
[[ Chaos List ]]
These people have commited an act too unforgivable to simply be placed on the Neutrality list, or were there and created more issues enough to earn them a place here. People on this list are not welcome in the shop or guild at all - while they may 'own' their Zoaria, they cannot RP in the guild, will recieve no stat growth, and are basically a non-entity for the sake of RP and existence. They 'vanish' completely from this world. Ungrown pets will be delivered at the leisure of the shop-owner, should you have an ungrown Zoaria when upon this list, but it will be second priority to active owners. Basically, if you're here, go away, stay away, and don't come back.
No one.
