<center>..Rules and Guidelines..</center>

Cost: 10,000 gold if you win. There is no entry fee.

Who: The flatsale is open to everyone who is willing to roleplay their adoptable a minimum of once a week.

What: One of three Children of the Sun. (Previews in next post.)

When: Wednesday, September 8th, from 12:00 am to Thursday, September 9, at 9:00 pm. Entries posted before or after the deadline will be disqualified!

Where: All entries, questions, and comments must be posted here in the thread. PMs will be ignored.

How: Write an interesting paragraph about how you, above all others, deserve a Child. You may state which Child you would prefer to have and why you would be best suited to roleplay that Child, but the final decision on who gets to adopt each child is up to the CoS staff. Your paragraph should be no more than 300 words. Post it here in the flatsale thread. Shop staff will decide based on creativity, desire, and who seems to best fit the Children being offered. Note: it is strongly recommended that you go to the main shop thread and read through the first page to familiarize yourself with this type of adoptable!

If You Win: Winners will be announced as soon as the shop staff have had a chance to review all the entries and make their decisions (possibly as early as Friday 09/10 or as late as Tuesday 09/14). Winners will also receive a notice via PM. Start a trade with Sun-Child immediately. As soon as the trade is confirmed by both parties, a PM will be sent by Sun-Child to the new Caretaker with some information and the crystal stage certificate.

If you do not receive your certificate via PM "immediately" after you confirm your payment trade, please do not panic. Meriko will be the one sending out the certs, and she can not be at her computer 24 hours a day. ^_^ Thank you for understanding.

..Children Up for Adoption..

These images are of Children of the Sun in their first, Crystal stage. They will, through evolution in roleplay, advance through a Child-Like stage after this, and finally achieve maturity as a Starling! To see an example of the Child-Like stage, click here. Sorry, but the Starling stage is being kept a secret! ^_^

.. Caph ..
Gender: Female
Base Characteristics: mild extrovert, intellectual, logical, calculating.</center>
Possible Strengths / Weaknesses: Caph is keenly aware as well as very practical. She is unique in that she can quickly utilize perceived information to her advantage (think James Bond type characters). She has a certain grace similar to that of a cat that allows her to both get in and out of trouble with ease. Caph also likes to keep things focused on the practical and what can be done rather than what can’t. She tends to have a blindly positive nature that all things will turn out well regardless of the circumstances. However, at times, this can lead her into greater trouble and down the wrong path. Caph is very adventurous and loves to test her strengths whenever the opportunity arises.

.. Errai ..
Gender: Female
Base Characteristics: extrovert, intuitive, mystical, emotional.</center>
Possible Strengths / Weaknesses: By her very nature, Errai is always loving, creative, and confident in herself. This never varies no matter what is happening about her. However, Errai has difficulty separating reality from fantasy and illusions. Being of about average intellect, she often misperceives events and circumstances, and feeds back misinformation. She has difficulty understanding new ideas and concepts, and often takes awhile before she can comprehend things. In this state of being she can easily be mislead by others. Errai is always capable of offering love, loyalty, and commitment to those in her life. When she finally discovers a greater wisdom in herself, she can become a powerful teacher and seeker of truth.

.. Merak ..
Gender: Male
Base Characteristics: mild introvert, intellectual, mystical, calculating.</center>
Possible Strengths / Weaknesses: Merak is a wise old soul despite whatever physical age he may appear to be. Generally has an interest in ancient symbolism, artifacts, texts, and deciphering the deeper truth behind such things. Merak is always looking to unlock the deeper meaning in everything, to the point of obsession. A very powerful being capable of leading those about him to deeper truths, or using his wisdom and intellect to manipulate others. He prefers keeping his knowledge and findings a secret, however on occasion can be friendly and open about what he knows. Lastly, Merak is a powerful healer capable of healing bodies at the cellular level.

*basks in the glory of Caph* whee Yar, you'd hate me if I told you how much time I spent working on Caph sweatdrop

*mwee* I am too pinky...perhaps it is time I changed my hair again?

Anyway, just updated the descriptions for the Children. Changed them around a bit so that they're (hopefully) a bit easier to understand. Or maybe not...whichever....

Ooh, awesome. ^^ Oh! I just remembered...we should put up that "copy/cheat and DIE" notice in the rules, shouldn't we?

As for the hair, I think it's cute~ X) I don't see many pink cornrows around, so you look very unique to me. I wish the hairstyles were like wigs that you could keep in your inventory and switch out whenever you wanted. I'd definitely pay much more for a hairstyle if it came with the "store-able" ability.

*nods* Although, I think they might already get the idea that if they do anything of that sort, we'll come running after them with sharp objects twisted
