Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to Veranderland! Home of the all original, ever quizzical, customizable Veranderings! heart

Here we give you the means to make the pet of your dreams~ Where most breedables and internet pets have a set shape and style, Veranderings are created to be designed almost entriely based on the customer's whim. This means you get to make your pet look any way you like! 3nodding

Because of each customer's individuality, no two Veranderings will ever be the same.

(HIF's mah bish!)

Who are these crazy people?

TRO is the headmaster, the ringleader, the go-to-gal, the mighty and powerful OZ. But not really.
Talk to her if you have questions, comments, flames, or need someone to give you a swift hard kick to the spleen. But not really.
Honest and truly, TRO just sits around twiddling her thumbs. And sometimes she doodles silly bits. (Don't actually PM her, unless you really DO need a swift hard kick to the spleen. Or something equally important.)

TOG is the commanding general, the brains to TRO's brawn, the know-how, inner circle, in the loop kinda guy. But not really.
TOG's job is to lurk about, look pretty for the ladies, and play with crayons. Sometimes his job is to eat the crayons. But not really. (The crayon eating bit, I mean.)
If you absolutely need to PM somebody, TOG's your man more often than not. But he's also most likely to bite, if your need be a dumb one.

HIF is our local Jew. He keeps money, plays with dreidls, and says oy vey WAY too much. But not really. (PS, we love Jewish people, and mean no offence.)
HIF's the money man, and has no other job of mass importance. DO NOT PM HIM, or your brain will sprout a black hole, (if it hasn't already) and will be sucked away for the monkies to eat. Really.

Why the names "TRO, HIF, and TOG?" I mean, wtf?

That's a secret. ninja

A Verandering is a marsupial. But not really. But not really not really - they really are marsupials. Really really. They have four clawed feets on the ends of four long legs, but only one foot per leg. Sometimes they have tails. Sometimes they have wings. Sometimes they are cannibals! But not really.

A Verandering has a base form, which looks like a greyhound mixed with a lizard plus a koala's face. Sometimes they also have koala ears. But that, dear friends, is up to you. biggrin

You see, a Verandering is a customizable baby koala-lizard-dog-thing. When you purchase a Verandering from zee flatsale for instance, the only thing you choose not is the body's basic colours and the whether it is male or female. From there, *you* choose ear modifications, tails, wings, and horns. Later, there will also be items for you to adorn your Verandering with. Really. The magical sparklies on the bebbies' certs indicate that their transmogrification magics are still working. When they get older, they lose that ability and the sparklies fade from the main cert body.



Here we have Mr. and Mrs. Samplie! They are our sample Veranderings. Aren't the bebbie pictures cute? The Samplies are here to show everyone what the cert looks like and how a Verandering is put together. The ribbon shows you what gender it is (blue for male, pink for female) and the bebbie itself shows you most of what the colouration on the body will be like, and the blanket is a vague indicator of appendage colours. It's not exact, though, and our colouring crew is free to mix'n'match base and appendage colouration based on aesthetic appeal, like how most of Mr. Samplie's appendages are light blue, like his blanket, but his ears remain the darker blue of his body.

Bebbies take one week to grow to adult Veranderings. But sometimes this may be a little delayed due to real-life shizz goin downs or pollution. Global warming, you know. If this happens, please be understanding. Despite our godly physiques, we are in fact mere mortals. heart

Veranderings are not RP-required pets, but we do love it if you stick around and chitchat and doodle around in the thread with us. 3nodding Generally if you are active in the thread and we like you, nice things happen to you! Imagine that! biggrin

There are three basic ways to get a Verandering. The first is, of course, the Flatsale. In such a sale, there will be several babies in base form of either gender in varying colours for you to buy. Most of the time, these sales will run on a speed basis, meaning that when TRO, HIF, or TOG posts "Flatsale GO!" the first person to claim the Verandering will get it for zee buying.

(Please don't claim the Verandering bebbie if you cannot afford it. Duh.)

Flatsale bebbies are 2k apiece. When your claim is confirmed, please to give us a name for your Verandering and what kind of ears, wings, tails, and horns you would like. Any or all of these slots may be left empty - your bebbie does not have to have a tail at all if you don't like. Markings on the appendages will follow the basic colour scheme displayed by the base bebbie body.

The second way to acquire a Verandering is through auction. Auctions will be saved for particularly fancifully coloured Veranderings and cosplays and the like. Auctions follow some very basic rules, which will be posted at the beginning of each auction so you know exactly what to do for each one. Auctions come around but rarely, so watch the Special Events post for when they show up!

The final official way for Verandering acquisition is through raffle. Raffles also only come around every now and then, but the rules for each will always be the same. There will be a set time period for ticket sales listed in the first post of the raffle. Tickets are limited to 200 tickets per person. Tickets are 100g each. The ticket number will be chosen using the randomizer found at http://www.randomizer.org/ for absolute fairness. The winner will be expected to PM TOG their choice of appendages and sometimes, if the case calls for it, colours, within 24 hours of the raffle's drawing time or a new number shall be chosen. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you cannot be online within 24 hours of the posted time for the ticket drawing, then you don't really want the Verandering that bad. These dog-lizard-koala things need homes, after all! Stable homes! You can't just leave a Verandering all by itself immediately after creation - it will chew up your couch! But not really.

Here are the current varieties of appendages you can choose from:



And remember, any of these slots can also be left blank. 3nodding If there's a particular style of appendage you really want but isn't on this list, feel free to shoot TOG a PM requesting it! We can't guarantee it will be added, but we love suggestions and are always looking to expand our collection of body parts.

So now that you are armed with the informations needed for all your Verandering acquiring desires, go forth unto the availability post to see if there are any! heart

This auction is now closed! Thanks to everyone who participated, and gave these mutant lizard-dog-koala-turtle-teens good and loving homes! heart

Customs Rules:
1. If there is no open slot, please don't request one.
2. Requests for customs are to be PM'ed to TOG. If you PM TRO or HIF about it, your PM will be ignored.
3. You CAN request a cosplay, but it's up to us to decide if we want to sell it as a custom or not. Many cosplays are already slated for auctions and raffles. If you are turned down for that cosplay, you can choose to either release your slot back into the wild, choose a regular custom, or try picking another character. You can add any sort of appendages on to the Verandering along with it being a custom if the style of appendage is not specified by the reference pictures. (For example, if you chose a Naruto cosplay, you could choose to give it fox ears and a fox tail along with its usual Naruto traits.)
3b. If you DO request a cosplay, send us a minimum of two references, or the answer's no.
3b-b. GOOD, CLEAR REFERENCES. WITH PROPER COLOURS.
4. The more complicated the markings, the costlier it will be. We decide the price bracket your request falls under.
5. In reference to Original Character Cosplays, please refer to rules 3b and 3b-b.
6. Customs will be finished in as timely a manner as possible. Cosplays obviously will take longer. Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, PM any of the staff whining about how long your custom is taking. We'll shut down work on it immediately for at least a month and there will be no refund.
7. Regular customs run from baby stage all the way through adult stage. Cosplays will generally only have adult stages.
8. All regular customs will come with their choice of one free item. Cosplay customs will come with one free breeding.

Custom Prices:
[Bracket 1]: Solid colours, simple gradients, basic patterns. 3k apiece.
[Bracket 2]: Fancier patterns or gradiented markings, middling difficult. 4k apiece.
[Bracket 3]: Easy cosplay, extremely convoluted markings. 7k apiece.
[Bracket 4]: Medium level cosplay. 9k apiece.
[Bracket 5]: Extreme cosplay. 12k apiece.

Custom Slots:
Slot 1: -x-closed-x-
Slot 2: -x-closed-x-
Slot 3: -x-closed-x-

Have you thoroughly read the rules and pricing descriptions? Are there slots available? If so, proceed to the custom ordering forms!





Do not forget, all PM's go to TOG. TOG will respond to your PM detailing which price bracket you are in. Once you send the trade, we will begin work on the custom. We do the counter-offer of nothing when we send you the baby, and fully accept payment upon completion of the adult (even if the Verandering is not due to grow for another few days). For cosplays, where there is usually no baby stage, payment is accepted upon delivery of the finished adult. Do not forget, all trades go to HIF.

Remember. Order forms to TOG. Trade payments to HIF. Leave TRO alone. heart

The Esplanashun: Silver is like the whitelist, only better, coz it's a precious metal, not some spooty colourless colour. This is where you go if you's a good bean. 3nodding The Middlest Shade of Grey is that exact shade of grey in photoshop where your damn cursor disappears and it's really freaking irritating, so you have to go change your cursor settings or the colour grey a little lightness up or down. It's THIS grey: . This is for those balancing on the edge, who do a bad-thing, but not-so-bad it needs to be arrested for. Usually if you end up here, it's just a warning, and will be taken down after a bit. Irons is the other kind of metal that is really hard and cold and owie, which we use on the badlies. You gets handcuffed and stuck behind iron bars and it's just not a fun thing. Sometimes you can work your way back to Middling, and then off, but sometimes you just get left to rot in our oubliette. heart

Silvers!
