There are 6 known stages.

Seraphii are small, human-like creatures that are summoned through rocks representing their element. An icy rock will bring an ice seraphii, a firey rock will bring a fire seraphii, and so forth. Since they have not fully come into their powers when they are first born, it is up to their guardian to take care of them during that time.

Please read before you even bother posting.

. . . Flatsales . . .
  • The flatsale price for each Seraphii is 20k. You may negotiate a payment plan or discount after you have won.
  • The sale is roleplay-based. You can only win these Seraphiies through writing a response to a prompt.
  • You must write your own entry. This is you showing us that you are good enough to take care of a Seraphii.
  • You may only try for one Seraphii at this sale. We want other people to have a chance too! This means that if you enter for the Water contest you may NOT try in the flatsale, and visa versa.
  • 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 24 hours to get it to us or negotiate something with us. If you fail to meet this requirement, your Seraphii will go to the runner-up.
  • And PLEASE do NOT discourage others!

. . . W r i t i n g R u l e s . . .
  • We will post the prompt five minutes before the contest begins. You will then have an hour to respond to the prompt. Please post all responses within the thread. For more detailed information, see the flatsale post.
  • Keep in character. If you are trying for gemstone, try to stick to the personality blurb we gave when you write your entry.
  • Your response must be written formally. This means that you should write it in story format, NOT like "Chai: *walks down the street*". This is because the actual RP you will be doing in the journals is formal.
  • 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.
  • Seraphii owners must post at least two entries a month in their chronicles. If you don't think you can devote this kind of time, please don't try out.
  • You may not have anyone write your entry for you, no matter how talented. This is you showing us that you are good enough to take care of a Seraphii.


. . . F A Q . . .

User ImageUser ImageUser Image

    gemstone :: (F) greedy, easy to get jealous, easy to cry.

    dream :: (M) daydreamy, information that goes in one ear tends to drift right out the other, tends to sleep for long periods of time

    metal :: (F) paranoid, lots of pride, quick-witted


This will be just like a regular flatsale, where you will respond to a prompt. There is only one round, so best entry wins.

The flatsale will begin April 22nd, at 7:00 PM EST (4:00 PM Gaia time) and will end April 22nd, at 8:00 PM EST (5:00 PM Gaia time). The prompt will be posted approximately five minutes before that in both the thread and this post. Once the prompt is posted, you will have an hour minutes to respond. No posts will be accepted before 7:00 PM EST, or after 8:00 PM EST. A "GO" and "STOP" post will be made to indicate when entires will be accepted, and when they will no longer be accepted.

There will be separate prompts for each Seraphii, so please make sure you're responding to the appropriate prompt! It should be fairly obvious, but if you respond to the wrong prompt your entry will be disqualified. We are looking for creativity, writing style and skill, and the usual slew of technical aspects. Just remember - have fun with the prompts! Also, please note that the italicized portions of the prompt you do NOT have to respond to - they are only their to help stimulate some ideas. You can choose to include them or not.


    Prompt:
    Quote:
    Gemstone:"You and your Seraphii have decided to take a vacation, and are currently enjoying a walk in a busy marketplace. However, a law official suddenly stops you and your Seraphii, saying that your Seraphii has slipped a bit of jewelry into her pocket. Has your Seraphii committed this act, or is she innocent? If she has what compelled her to do it, and how does she feel about getting caught? How do you react? How does your Seraphii react? Does she try to evade the cops, or does she go willingly?"


    Quote:
    Dream:"Your Seraphii's penchant towards sleeping at inappropriate times is beginning to worry you. Through a friend, you manage to procure some medication normally used for stabilizing narcoleptic sleep patterns. Do you offer it to your Seraphii or not? If you do offer it, how does your Seraphii react? Does he even realize he might have a sleeping disorder? If you decide not give it the medication, how do you deal with your concern for your Seraphii's strange tendencies? Is there a better solution than medication to be found?"


    Quote:
    Metal:"It's far, far too early in the morning and you're asleep when you suddenly hear screams coming from your Seraphii's room. Worried, you run over and see your Seraphii lying in bed screaming at the top of her lungs. The window over her bed is open. When you ask her what happened she tells you that people came after her that night. You know your Seraphii has a tendency to be paranoid, so it could just be a dream. But then why is the window open? Did your Seraphii have a nightmare, or are there actually people after your Seraphii? Are you or your Seraphii in any danger? If it was just a dream then how DID the window get open?"


    . . .

    Restrictions:
    will be posted at start of contest


When you're done, please post your response within the thread. Good luck, everyone!

water :: (M) slightly shy, cheerful. extremely peaceful - the negotiator.


There has been a rather major change to the water contest! Rather than being an interactive roleplay, the contest will now be a two-week long story contest, beginning April 15th at 6:00 PM EST (3:00 PM Gaia time) and ending April 29th at 11:59 PM EST (8:59 PM Gaia time.) All entries MUST be PMed to Kohae, and please allow time for judging, which may take a while. As before, judging will be based on creativity, writing skill and style, and technical aspects such as grammar and spelling.

For this contest you may have your Seraphii be at any age. Entries should at least be over a page long, but should not exceed ten pages. Be sure to spellcheck before submitting your entry! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Puchiko or the Kohae account.



    Scenario:
    "One fine summer evening you and your Seraphii have decided to take a picnic near a brook somewhere. Your Seraphii has even gone ahead and prepared an entire feast for the picnic, however, when the day arrives and the food is spread out you realize that every single item looks completely disgusting. A taste test verifies this, so what do you do? Do you tell your Seraphii that his food is terrible, or do you bite the bullet and continue eating it? How does your Seraphii handle your reaction? Does he know that he is a poor cook and is embarrassed, or is he convinced that he's the finest chef on the planet?"
    . . .

Please note that the italicized portion of the prompt is only there to give you some ideas - you are not required to use them at all in your story, though you are welcome to do so. Please have fun with the prompt! It's yours to do whatever you like with, and remember, the more (plausible) creativity we see, the better.
