These criminals are a Luan mother/daughter pair. You will get to pick the name of the one you win, if you win, and you will have to agree with the other winner on how the daughter died, and other small family things. Teamwork! Woo!

Planet Name: Phlaum

Planet Description: The majority of the people on Phlaum are extremely technologically savvy. This is immediately apparent in everything from their architecture to their hobbies. They shun magic and embrace the man-made, some even going so far as to have "better" metallic parts made for their bodies. There is a small minority (2% or so), however, who embrace their instinctual magic and surround themselves with the supernatural. These people call themselves the Lua, and their actions are strictly governed by the rest of the population.

One of the things that the mechanically minded citizens of Phlaum fear most about their creepy neighbors is their ability to resurrect the dead. This practice has been outlawed, and is punishable by death, or more recently, Gaian exile.

The people of Phlaum are long-limbed, with cool-toned skin and warm-toned hair. Their eyes can be of any color. Each is born with a single free-floating animal familiar. As the Luan increases their magical abilities, these familiars self-replicate, so in essence, the more animals a person has, the more powerful they are. Most of the technology-lovers lose their familiars not long after the age of ten, and those that remain are seen as little more than family pets. The animals can travel long distances without their masters, but most do not choose to. They can also be killed, and the Luan will suffer a decrease in power because of it.

Criminal's Name: ?

Criminal's Description: She is an average, twenty-six-year-old Luan, and her familiars are armadillos. She is fiercely protective of those she cares for and very much the rebel. She once was accompanied by seven familiars, but two mysteriously disappeared within the last five years.

Criminal's Crime: Resurrecting her seven-year-old daughter.

Flatsale Criminal B
User Image
full picture

Criminal's Name: ?

Criminal's Description: With all of her memories and knowledge intact, she is a normal little girl in every way except one (besides the obvious fact that she is dead). It is very rare for someone so young to have so many familiars and be so strong with magic. It was said, before she passed away, that perhaps she was beginning to rely too heavily on her powers and meddling in things best left out of the hands of children.

Criminal's Crime: Even though she technically had nothing to do with it, being one of the living dead on Phlaum is a crime.

1. Choose the name and letter of your Criminal.

Please note, the baby your Criminal turns into on Gaia usually doesn't have the same name as the criminal they used to be. You don't have to use the name you give in this section in the prompts, in fact, it's probably better if you don't. If you've already sent your entry in, don't worry about this. I know all this home planet/Gaian baby stuff is confusing. whee

2. Choose one of the prompts below and answer it to the best of your ability. The entry can be in any style you want and can be as long or as short as you want as well. You don't have to write about the Criminals up for sale if you don't think they fit any of these prompts. While you don't have to stick strictly to the form of the prompt, I should be able to figure out which one you picked without looking at the prompt letter.

2a. Have fun.

3. PM the name and letter of the Criminal you are going for and your prompt response to Archie Saturn. Make the title of your PM "STRONG LIKE BULL" just for laughs. Don't bother sending any info about your Criminal's baby form. I will ask you about this if you win.

4. Wait.


Prompts
Again I will be using the more generic 'they' when I mean 'he/she/it' for clarity. I know it's grammatically incorrect and it pains me every time I see it, but it makes the prompts much easier to read, methinks.

A - Child
Your child has recently discovered that they have been gifted with some form of magical ability. The problem is, these powers don't have anything to do with ones they possessed on their home planet. How does your child cope with this new magic?

B - Teenager
One of your child's friends has been involved in an accident/incident and is now in a lot of trouble with the law. How does your Criminal help them? Do they even want to help at all? What happens to this friend as a result of your child's actions?

C - Young Adult
It's that time of year again... or something. Your Criminal is a young adult now, and he or she wants to bring a new life into the world with their significant other. Not that they have to ask you for permission to make the attempt, but how do you feel about this new development? Has the baby been conceived already and there's nothing left for you to do except whine? Are you ecstatic to become a pseudo-grandparent?

D - Crazy Free For All
1. Come into the thread.
2. Roll three six-sided dice.
3. Check the lists below for your corresponding things, places, and actions and write something that involves a Criminal/Baby/Toddler/Child/Adolescent/Teenager/Young Adult/Adult/FRIC and your three rolled items.

If you don't like your roll, you can always pick one of the other prompts, but you can't roll again. You must use all three things you roll in your entry in some way, even if that way is unconventional or brief. You must also use each roll in the order you rolled it (no using a roll of 4 on the third die for "bubble wrap" instead of "camping" wink .

Die 1 - Things
1. turtles
2. a flower
3. a pair of boots
4. bubble wrap
5. a skeleton
6. an eyepatch

Die 2 - Places
1. a diner
2. a friend's house
3. an abandoned building

1. ALL OF THE MAIN SHOP RULES APPLY. No, I will not be repeating them here.
2. DO NOT enter twice in any way. I may be a mule, but you can't be one too. *big spitty razzing for you*
3. Don't send your entry more than once unless I've asked you for it or we've talked about it beforehand. All duplicate entries that I don't know are coming will be erased.
4. This flatsale costs nothing to enter and 6K if you win. As I said before, winning HOOEBAFLs pay 3K.

..and the event is here when I don't have the money. XD
sad Well, there will be a long term free contest-like thing going on after this, so that's good, right? xd
Yeah. And I might be able to scrounge up 6k between now and the event date... maybe. XD
Better yet, being a HOOEFBABKASKL, or however the hell I spell it, you get to pay 3K. heart
...no, that's the price as a however-the-way-its-spelled-it. XD
But, you are one. ninja *is so confused* whee
If the FS Price is 12k, half-off is 6k. There.
A HA! This flatsale is half price normally, so that's where I was being vague. So you do pay 3K if you win this time around. *confused-B-gone!*

Feline Prophet

Oh. XD That answers my question then.
