The rules are very important! Please read all the rules before posting, PMing, asking, ordering, or anything else you feel like doing! </center>

1. No flaming/harassment of any kind in the thread.

2. No complaining about the pets, the management, the colorists (heaven forbid!), the tags, the sales or lack-there-of or the price. Don't make me hit you with a frozen fishstick! ninja

3. No whining about not getting or having a pet, or not getting the one you wanted.

4. We do NOT reserve pets. Bid in the auctions when they go up or buy at the flatsale at the appointed time; not before.

5. No guilt-tripping other prospective buyers. crying 's and sob stories about why they should let you have the pet will not be tolerated.

6. Do NOT PM anyone about buying a pet. All exchanges about pets will be IN THREAD. If you attempt to bid/buy through PM, your PM will be ignored. Repeated offenses = blacklist.

7. Send trades to this account. This is the shop mule. "TehColorist"

8. No stealing graphics! This goes without saying... but I'm saying it anyway. gonk


<center>F.A.Q.</center>

Where is the gold earned through these sales going?
A: Most of the gold is going to help out the Box of Crayons guild for the first few sales. Later, Colorists will receive most of the profits with a small amount going to pay the tagger and person updating the first post/planning sales/bumping etc.


How come my dragon's "color" is one color, but it's skin color is a TOTALLY different color????
A: "Color" on the tag is really just the code for "Colorist." Each Colorist at this shop is a member of the Box of Crayons guild, and so has a personal "color" that their graphics are in and they're identified by. For a key of what color belongs to what colorist, see the "Life Cycle" post.


What is this "Box of Crayons" thing I keep hearing about?
The group that runs this breedable shop is called "Box of Crayons," and it's an organization of artists who are commissioned to CG or Color customers' lineart.


How do I get one of these draaagons?
Wait around for a flatsale or auction. These are usually announced a day or two in advance so those interested can try to plan on being around for it.

Well... I found some of my old crayons lying around. They were sitting in the sun and one was a bit melted. sweatdrop But it was such a pretty colour. 'Maybe', I thought, 'I can still use it for something.'

After doodling a bit in a corner of a notebook while I should have been doing homework, I left the crayons on a shelf by my bed and forgot about them until a few days later, when I noticed that a couple of the crayons were missing... and the ones left all had little bite marks. Looking around to see what had happened to them, I came face to face with a teeny tiny lizard. It was about as long as my hand, and completely unafraid of me. The colour was familliar... kindof like that crayon I found that was melted.
It flew back to the other crayons and started gnawing on them again.

(To be continued...) ( eek )

The life cycle of the Zinjadu dragon is a fascinating topic indeed!

female <---> male
User Image
First the dragon is an Egg... er... Crayon! From this stage you won't know what gender the Zinjadu will be, but you'll have a rough idea as to what color it will be or what markings it might have, as these colorings and markings are usually apparent on the outer shell of the crayon.
User ImageUser Image
Then it hatches... and becomes a Child! At this stage your Zinjadu will be very active and will require lots of love and attention. You can roleplay with your dragon in the thread and purchase accessories for him/her to indulge their vain natures.

User ImageUser Image
If you take good care of your pet and treat it nicely, it will grow into a full-grown Adult Zinjadu dragon! heart Adult Zinjadus appear to have a full range of mysterious powers that no one has fully been able to observe or record, as no adult has ever been seen in captivity: will you be the first to see an Adult Zinjadu?
