Welcome to Gaia! ::

<center></center>

Q: Do you Have to RPG with the pets?
A: Nope, you don't, but you'll have a Rock for the whole time sweatdrop

Q: Can you get special items for your pets?
A: Of course you can. The will be either auctioned off or won in contest, but there will be a special item that will be one of a kind.

Q: Are there monsters for us to fight.
A: Yes, I'll most likely be playing the monsters. Or one of the staff. But you will be fighting with creatures, and you will have stats. Such as Strength and Defense. You can battle other gaurdians who spirits have evolved completely.

Q: Will our characters evolve even past it's Adult stage?
A: If by some chance your character reaches level 100, your Gaurdian will transform into it's ultimate form. An Angelic, or Demonic Warrior.

Q: There are levels?!?!?!
A: Yes, when your character turns into a gaurdian you will have and experience bar, this will go up after every battle, you can also give experience with a set amount.

Q: Can I fight some one more then once?
A: Yes and no, You can't automatically fight after you battle some one. but you can battle one week after the final blow. (not after you start the game) The only exception to this is if you escape from a battle.


Q: Will there be healing Items and a health bar?
A: Yes. You can buy healing and magic recovery items, as well as status items that can cause damage. They can be used in battle only or in quests. (Health will automatically regenerate after the battle, so don't ask ^_^)

Q: Can they breed?
A: No, you can get married and all, but as of now, no you can not bread.

Q: Do you become the gaurdian's or does the stone become the gaurdian?
A: The stone becomes the gaurdian. You can control their actions, but they become the gaurdian.

Q: How Can you tell the Stones Gender?
A: You can't, It's random, You can how ever change pets with someone else who already owns one. Though this sort of transaction MUST go through me first. I will have to change the names on the tag as well as item transfers.

Q: Do you have to keep a pet journal?
A: Have too? No. If you want to, by all means go right a head.

Q: I saw that you take in account what happens out side this thread, is that true?
A: No no no , don't get me wrong. The things you do out side the thread will not effect the way your pet turns out. With the exception of the Testing Spirit stage.Sometimes a person I know and trust will come up to you with a problem and cause a situation (In need of help, rpg fight in another thread. so on and so forth) but only that situation will go towards your pet. No others. You will be aware of when a tester would come by, by the status change in your pet. Also members will change. So it will not nessasarily be the same one twice. Also keep in mind that if this does not go well, I will remove it or alter it according to grievances given.

Q: What's with the secret tester thing?
A: It's something I came up with, I didn't see it in other threads, and if there happens to be one that does, please alert me of such. I wanted something to make people aware of how they act. In other words, something to inspire good will towards your fellow man. This would never go, however, for Demonic Aliances. I don't want some one beating up a poor newbie thinking it's one of my friends. sweatdrop

Q: Why are there levels on the Items.
A: Simple, that way a level 4 pet can not have a level 20 weapon and beat the snot out of other level 4 pets.

Q: Why are there a limit on some items and why does the prices of the revivers go up?
A: Simple. The limits are set so people can not stock up on those items. As far as the revivers go, I sort of want to discourage people form buying alot of those... I think it's sort of unfair to automatically revive after you die every turn. At the same time, I don't want to have it where you whittle a boss down to nothing and die and not be able to revive yourself. So that's why they start off cheep, easy to have at lest one or two on hand, but won't make it so that you can keep popping up after you die.

1: No God manning, you have a set parameter, you can not go over that. In saying this a level 1 can not, ever defeat a level 20 or above.

2: Be fair, don't pick on each other or harass some one..

3: If a person does not wish to fight with you, do not fight them. If you do, your experience will drop and be given to them.

4: All rules of Gaia Apply.

5: No begging or harassing the staff for pets, and no bribing will ever be tolerated, attempting this will result in immediate removal of all pets and banishment from the store.

6: Only three pets per person. You can buy for some one else, but You can not own more then 3 pets. (incase you want a male and female or an angelic and demon.) the only exception to this if you have three pets and are trying out for an auction or tournament to get a rare.

7: You can not buy Items during a fight or battle. However, if you post an order for an item and you get into a fight after the date of the post the item will be sold to you since in a real time event, an item would automatically be added to your inventory. I will check the dates on the orders to make sure that you are not currently in a battle at the time of the order.

1: Notification: We'll notify you and check on you if you happen to be missing for a long time.

Rock- nothing special, it just looks like a normal rock laying on the street, but something compels you to pick it up.

Necklace- After doing a couple of deeds, the rock crumbles revealing a beautiful necklace. You put it on and feel slightly more powerful. (This is one of the most crutial points in your pets life. Your pet's element will come from how you interact. IE: if you are passionat with what you do, you could become fire or loveing.)

Symbol Necklace: After doing more deeds your necklace starts to glowing revealing an elamental symbol. This will decide what your gaurdian's power will be.

Spirit: The neclace begins to glow after a special deed as a ball of light shoots out of it. This ball of light will speak to you and you can comunicate and play with this pet. (At this stage your pet is now RPGable as far as buying items and going on spirit quest)

Testing Spirit: This is a second most curtial part of the pet, the deeds done in the spirit mode figure weather your pet is angelic or demonic. The only diffrence in the pet stage that is noticeable is in the stage part will turn from Spirit to Testing Spirit (Note: Not all tests will be done in the thread. Some times someone sent by me will come to you. Depending on how you treat them, will determen your allience.)


Child Gaurdian: After playing with your pet it will take a humen form to your licking and acourding to your symbol. This means you can start fighting. Your pet is now able to particapate in contests and turnaments as well as go on harder quests.

Teen: After your child reaches a level 20 it will evovle into a teen, more people will challange you and more quests and contests will be open to you.

Adult Fighter: After your pet reches a lever 40 it will evolve into and Adult, you will play with this pet till you reach i100 will evolve a final time.

Normal/Minor: These are easy to destroy, no matter who you are, these monsters will attack you on quests or appear randomly once you are above level 7, you can defete them and gain experiance, items and gold.

Special/Rare: These are found only in Tournaments or contests.

If you recive a monster you can attack any one you wish who is in your area, though your level will never go up with the monsters. Since monsters are suposivly random, you can attack when ever and who ever you wish. Each monster will be given a place to stake out. Most likely it will be in a doungeon on a cirtin floor. You can attack your self if you want (don't really see where the fun is on that) but you must also be fair about it. No letting your self win just to get the experiance. You may attack a person reapeitly if you wish as well, but only to a point. Like I said with normal battles you must wait a week untilly you battle the same person again. With monsters you may attack the same person again with in three days if they are still in your area. Or if they leave the doungeon and come back, regardless of time limits, you are permited to fight again. (Most doungeons on rpgs tend to refreash on leaving)

<center></center>

There will be a total of 1 boss per element, they will normally show up only in quests, but some times they will send out a sub boss to notify you that they will becoming to battle you (if you win) with in one weak from the last blow. And yes, more then one person can fight against the boss, and you can party battle.

With The Bosses, it's almost like the monster where you are resticted to battels with in a sertin area, the end of a doungeon. You can leave the doungeon and convers with other characters, but they cannot battle you or vise versa. You won't gain any levels, but sometimes there will be a special auction to get special items for bosses.

<center></center>

Specile pets that will be either won or randomly put out that will have one attack that will cause major damage.

They never change, and do not fight on their own, when you reciev one of these you will auto revice another choice along with your battle which is Summon Your summon will use thier speical attack. Depending on their level you will only be alloud to use your summon so often during a battle. With that said, your summon will be able to level up and their attack will become more powerful. You gain experiance by useing your summons in battle.

Has been moved to the Guild. New Items will be previwed.

These are the simplist of quests. They useally don't have anything supper rare at the end, but they will give you health itams and maybe magic items to use when you get older. Most of the quest has to deal with proublem solveing.

<center></center>These quests are normally mild, they have some commen weapons and items at the end of them but sometimes things you can't find in the store. (Note: Teen quests are also Children quests since you know technicly they are still children) sweatdrop

<center></center>These tests are hard, they take some strangth and wisdom to complete. They have majority of rare items and some high priced items for your pets.

<center></center>
Insanely high challanges that have you faceing god-like Bosses and puzzels. But the reward is great with items that you can only get here.
