A young kitten-like creature sprinted across the sand. The warmth of the sun blazed on her fur, sparkling with the reflection of the ocean. She walked slowly into the crystal clear water, watching her fuzzy paws become wet. Many kittens were playing in the water, all in the most exotic colors. Some had a dark potion hung around their neck. Others had a silvery white potion. Some had a light blue star hanging by a golden thread.

She went in to join in the fun. Splashing into the water, she soaked her sparkling coat and dived into the water. When she came back up, the sea was empty. All the other kittens had gone out of the water. With a disgusted look on it's face, one shouted,

"Eww. It's the half-breed." The others turned around and added,

"Yeah, it's her again. Let's go."

All the kittens marched away into the forest. Wetting the sand as they walked merrily to their homes. She was left alone in the sea. She sprinted out of the water and shook her coat, letting it dry in the sun. A small tear ran down her cheek and fell onto the sand, staining it with a wet dark brown. Wiping away the tear with her paw, she slowly walked towards the forest, off to her home.

On her way she passed demonic nests, with fruits hanging off the branches. Kittens with dark potions around their necks climbed up those trees, and were happily greeted by a male and female demonic Sitara, known as the 'youkai'.

Other trees held angelic nests, with the most stunning fruits in glorious colors hanging off their branches. Again, kittens with the silvery white potion walked up these homes, or had their parents fly down and lift them up with the glorious angelic wings. These were known as the 'celestials'. The celestials were perfectionists, and didn't prefer to be around the youkai due to their celestial behaviour.

The young kitten came to the center of the island, where a massive tree stood tall. Thousands of catfruits hung off the giant branches. However, these were neither youkai or celestials. Some had no parents, and some would find their way to their parents as soon as they hatched. The pure breeds were what inhabited celestial island by massive numbers.

User ImageBelow the tree, there stood a small wooden stand. The two founders of the island, Kimajera and Celestyn perched near the stand. They were angelic twins. Beside them lay an assortion of normal fruits. They were all different, and very rarely found. On the stand were many bottles and vials, just like the ones around the kitten's necks. The young kitten walked over to the stand.User Image

"Kimajera, what are these?" she asked, pointing at the bottles.

"Those? You needn't have to know what they are child, for you don't need them. You are a hanyou." she answered, examining the bottle around her neck. It was a transparent potion, with a bottle shaped like sphere. On either side of the bottle was one angelic wing, and one demonic wing.

"Miss, what is a... hanyou?" the kitten asked. Celestyn turned around and looked at the kitten. Kimajera and Celestyn looked into each other's eyes.

"Oh dear kitten," Kimajera begun. "Hanyou means half-breed. It means that you are both a demon and an angel. Hanyou are very rare around this island, and are cherished as strange beings with strange powers."

"The bottles Celestyn and I make and sell here are Fruit Juice Cocktails. We use the powerful fruits from the tree of life that stands in the center of Celestial Island. By mixing them together, we create cocktails which can change one's race. For example, the silvery white potion here can change a pure breed into a celestial Sitara. Some Sitara carry light blue vials around their necks on a golden thread. The kitten must consume their potion before they grow, as their changes appear when they grow into an adult. Once a kitten has chosen their cocktail, they can never change it again."

"But I didn't choose my fruit juice cocktail! I was born with it!" the kitten interupted. Kimajera sighed.

"When a demon and an angel mate with each other, they create a half-breed." she continued. "This is very rare, as it is a disgrace to mix two breeds together. And this is why, hanyou can never mate together with either youkai or celestials. Many sitara take hanyou such as you a disgrace to Sitara alltogether. But some kind hearted people take them in, for a loving home."

"Thank you, Kimajera." the kitten said, and walked to her home, where her mother stood waiting for her.

Fruit << This is the first stage your Sitara goes through. Fruits come in all colors. Once they are taken off a tree, they begin their growth process where they can only hear and smell. This stage lasts one week.

Kitten << In this stage your Sitara is a rather mischievous kitten. It loves playing in the sand, and running around like a wild cat. Beware, as all the senses have emerged. This stage lasts one month.

Adult << Your Sitara has finally grown to it's full size. Now, these Sitara are able to mate, and prefer retreating in the forest. Your adult will grow wings or fangs according to what they drank in their kittenhood. However, sometimes adults are more troublesome than kittens! This stage lasts forever.

ROLEPLAYING

Berry count takes place on the profile of the mule, and is updated often by mangshra.

MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR PET'S NAME IN THE FRONT OF THE POST, OR IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

If you own a Sitara, the most fun thing you can do is roleplay it! Not only does it help develope a character for your sitara, it also comes with great bonusses! For example, you must have roleplayed a little to be able to breed your sitara! In the future, you will be able to get more advantages.

ALL ROLEPLAYING MUST BE PG-13! Small romance is allowed, but no reproducing in roleplay! Get your mind out of the gutter!

Roleplaying earns you what we call berries. There are four different ranks of berries.

Blueberry >> Raspberry >> Strawberry >> Cherry

Every 5 posts earns you one blueberry. This continues, so if you have 5 blueberries, you may exchange it to one raspberry. YOU MAY ALSO DOWNGRADE.

5 Posts = 1 Blueberry
5 Blueberries = 1 Raspberry
5 Raspberries = 1 Strawberry
5 Strawberries = 1 Cherry


More about the Island
This is an uninhabited island, which is not known to the world. It is probably somewhere deep in the pacific ocean, hidden so that no one can find it. On it, not many creatures live, apart from the Sitara species and sea-life. The island has a wide variety of fruits and berries. The most bizzare tree is the giant tree in the centre of the island, where all fruit staged kittens grow from. There are no humans on Celestial Island.

What Sitara Eat
Sitara will eat seafood, such as fish and crabs. They also eat small bugs and insects on the island. The most common thing Sitara eat are berries and fruits from the trees. Please note that often, sitara that are in their kitten stage cannot eat fish and any other seafood, because it would be too difficult for them to eat. They can pounce on their food, and play with it but unless their parents claw it up into tiny pieces they cannot eat it.

Behaviour of Sitara
All sitara have their own personality, naturally. However, there are a few things your Sitara cannot think of. For example, they can't be occupied with common day danger, like terrorism and such (obviously). No matter how kind your sitara is, they have to accept that demonic and angelic sitara do not accept half-breeds among them, unless they are their own children. Cosplay sitara have the personality of the cosplay they are based off.

What Sitara Can Do
Sitara are based off cats, more like rather large wild cats. However, they can swim very well. They also climb trees, seeing as their homes mostly are similiar to tree-houses. Sitara with wings, the Angelic and Demonic Sitara, have the ability to fly. Half-breeds have trouble flying, since their two wings are very different from each other. But, with lots of practic they can be able to manage a small amount of flying.

What Sitara Cannot Do
Sitara cannot mutate into something else, so take this evolution idea out of your mind. They certainly cannot leave the island, by flying or by swimming. They cannot write or spell. They use the common way of reproduction, but cannot get pregnant, seeing as all fruits are born from the tree of life in the center of the island. Same sex sitara couples cannot reproduce.

More about Fruit Sitara
Sitara that are fruits, cannot speak, see, or taste. However, they can smell, hear, and feel. When you receive your sitara as a fruit stage, it has fallen off the Tree of Life. You may RP it falling off, feeling a thump as it falls on the ground, and hear noises. What you cannot do, is make it move. If it lands at the base of a hill, you may have it roll all the way down until it stops and someone finds it.

BREEDING IS NOW HERE



Spring and summer comes and goes. And we all know, the fresh breeze and flourish of life allows special feelings to emerge between two sitara.
Have your sitara decided to start a family of their own? HOLD ON! There are quite a few things to think about before taking the risk of wild kittens entering your homes.

RolePlay Requirements

Throughout the thread, your sitara must've roleplayed. Roleplaying will give each sitara unique points, otherwise known as berries. (See Roleplaying post)

5 Posts = 1 Blueberry
5 Blueberries = 1 Raspberry
5 Raspberries = 1 Strawberry
5 Strawberries = 1 Cherry


Each parent must have the appropriate amount of berries for the breeding. They do not have to have roleplayed with each other. They only need the berries.

These Berries below are the berries that are mandatory from EACH parent.
1 Blueberry allows you to have a normal breeding.
2 Blueberries allow you to have an abnormal breeding.
1 Raspberry allow you to have an special breeding.
1 Strawberry allow you to have an extravagant breeding.


The following options below are for if you have lots of extra berries, and you want extra specials for free. These berries can be given by one pet, or shared by both parents. Be sure to tell me which parent is giving what so I can deduct the correct amounts of these from each parent.
2 Raspberries will give you one extra offspring, after the amount has been decided.
4 Raspberries will give you two extra offspring, after the amount has been decided.
1 Strawberries will give you one extra half-breed offspring, out of the blue.
1 Cherry will allow you to choose whatever type of pets you want and how many after the randomizing.

Breeding Compatibility

There will be some issues with breeding between different breeds, because of the background story and exceptance into their clans. These are the following results of breeding compatibility.

BLOOD RELATED FAMILY CANNOT BREED
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Yellow = Normal Breeding
Orange = Abnormal Breeding
Pink = Extravagant Breeding

** Special Breeding not depicted in image

Normal Breeding
Produces 2 - 4 offspring, randomized with Gaia's randomizer. If crossbreeding (pure-breed + angelic/demonic), I will also randomize from 1 - however many offspring you get for the amount of pure-breeds. If the parent(s) have edits, the offspring will not inherit the edits.

Abnormal Breeding
Produces 2 - 4 offspring, randomized with Gaia's randomizer. For crossbreeding (pure-breed + angelic/demonic) pairs, I will randomize from 1 - the number of offspring from before to see how many will be purebreeds, the remaining will be half-breeds. If the parent(s) have edits, the offspring will not inherit the edits.

Special Breeding
Produces 2 offspring, one male and one female. Cosplay + (Angelic or Demonic). Randomizer will be done to see which traits/edits the children pick up versus the parents. If your cosplay is an angelic or a demonic and tries to breed with its opposite, (angelic cosplay x demonic), then your breeding will fail and will produce only 1 halfbreed with unusual side effects. (* If you use berries to boost this count, all babies will be halfbreeds and have "birth defects" wink

Extravagant Breeding
Produces 2 offspring, one male and one female. Cosplay + Cosplay will become a mixed cosplay. Cosplay + Half-breed will produce a half-breed with a few edits of the cosplay parent.


Prices

Normal Breeding = 35k Total + (1 Blueberry from EACH parent)
Abnormal Breeding = 40k Total + (2 Blueberries from EACH parent)
Special Breeding = 80k Total + (4 Blueberries from EACH parent)
Extravagant Breeding = 150k Total + (4 Blueberries from EACH parent)

Slots/Openings

Breeding will open each season. There will be three slots open each batch, unless stated otherwise. Breedings will be opened in the following months.
