For an explanation what's been going on with this shop, please see page 169.


Old News

10/01 ~ Here's how Trick-or-Treating works - watch out for this image (yes, it was drawn in five minutes): [ img ] Whenever I post this in the thread, it means I'm giving out candy to people who post "TRICK OR TREAT!" after my post AND roll a 100-sided die in their post (the die roll determines which candy you get). After Halloween is over, the candy is going to turn into... things that are not candy. (The candy freebies are mostly going to be small things - Halloween plushies, discount coupons, things like that, so please don't be disappointed!) You can give candy away to friends or swap candy with other people, but please let me know if you do so! Also, please don't hog all the candy - you can have more than one, but don't overdo it.
9/26 ~ At 2pm EST today, I will post an image that will contain hidden links to several images of monkey dragons. The first person to find a specific monkey dragon and post the image in this thread as proof will get that dragon for free! Further instructions later today! EDIT: The event has started! Check page 114!!! EDIT 2: The event is over, all dragons have been found!
9/20 ~ The auction is over! Congrats, winners!
9/15 ~ Ok, I lied - I gave away another two dragons in the Black Party. ;;^__^
9/11 ~ Additional to the ten dragons given out, I gave away a full set of familiars in the [Black] Party thread, and for now, that concludes my giveaways in that thread!
9/10 ~ I gave away 3 more dragons!
9/9 ~ I gave away 7 dragons as freebies in the [Black] Party thread! I might give away some familiars or maybe even more dragons tomorrow, so keep an eye on the thread!
9/8 ~ * Auction *

General FAQ

How do I get a dragon of my own?

Wait for a flatsale, auction or raffle.

Can I please please have a dragon for free?

Sometimes. If anybody tires of their dragon and donates it back to me, I will give it away for free in a raffle. Check the News section to see if any raffles are going on at the moment.

Do I need to save to my own server, or will you host it?

I will host the picture, and it's important that you direct-link, because else your dragon will not grow!

How many dragons can I have?

As many as you want, but only one per sale or auction.

Will you do a pet trade?

Yes, if I like the pet! Just PM me and we can talk about it.

Do I have to roleplay?

No. Roleplay is in no way enforced, but if you do want to roleplay, we have a nice guild where you can do so.


Sales & Auctions

When is the next flatsale?

Look in the News section. When I decide there will be one, I will post it there.

Will you reserve?

Sorry, no. It wouldn't be fair to the people who have been waiting.


Breeding

Can I breed my dragon?

Yes, you can! Check the "Breeding" section for specific instructions!

* How it all began *

Some months ago, I was looking for a birthday gift for my baby niece. Just around the corner from where I live, there's a really tiny toy store, and I thought I might as well try there before I go to the huge stores.

From the moment I entered the store, I felt myself inexplicably drawn to a dimly-lit corner of the room, and more specifically to a huge cardboard box that was standing there. It was full to the brim with stuffed toys, down-priced because all of them were either damaged, dirty or simply hadn't sold for a long time. It certainly didn't look as if I'd find the gift I was searching for there, but I felt a need to rummage through the toys, anyway. Finally, nearly at the bottom of the box, I found two small dragon plushies. They didn't look like much, but I knew in my heart that I simply had to buy them! So I did that and took them home, and that night, I let them sleep in my bed...

Potions

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


"Eternal Childhood" (can be given to all breeds)

When given to a dragon, this potion will turn it into what we call an Eternal Child - a dragon that reaches full mental and emotional maturity, but remains childlike in appearance forever. (Breed 1 has special lineart for Eternal Children, for all other breeds, Eternal Children look like regular children.)

Please, consider what your dragon wants before you give this potion to them! If you think they might suffer later on due to their physical immaturity, please don't do it! However, most dragons aren't overly focused on physical appearances, and many even welcome the opportunity for some mischief that this appearance offers.

Winged dragons are natural Eternal Children, so giving the potion to them would be pointless and maybe even dangerous!

"Eternal Youth" (can only be given to breed 2 dragons)

This potion will turn a breed 2 dragon it into what we call an Eternal Youth - a dragon that reaches full mental and emotional maturity, but remains a teenager in appearance forever.

Please, consider what your dragon wants before you give this potion to them! If you think they might suffer later on due to their physical immaturity, please don't do it! However, most dragons aren't overly focused on physical appearances, and many even welcome the opportunity for some mischief that this appearance offers.

Magic Jewels

I have contacted many owners of toy stores in the last couple of weeks, trying to find more enchanted dragons, and a while ago, one of them sent me a tiny package that contained 40 tiny little jewels and a sheet with descriptions. In the accompanying letter it said that he found the package when he was cleaning out his store room, and that he vaguely remembered that years ago, they came with a delivery of enchanted dragons that he has long since sold.

Here is what the descriptions say about each kind of jewel.

"Levitation"

When given to a young dragon, such as a newly evolved hatchling or wyrmling (dragon on the verge of becoming an adult), the dragon will develop only weak powers of levitation at first. They will be able to move or hover small, light objects through the force of their will for a few seconds, and that will already exhaust them. However, as the dragon grows, so will the ability until they can levitate objects as heavy as themselves for up to a minute, and heavier objects for a shorter time period.

Keep in mind how difficult babysitting a dragon without abilities can be before you give this to your baby dragon!

When given to a fully grown dragon, the dragon will come into the full abilty at once.

"Fire Breath"

This ability is propably the one most commonly associated with dragons, though it is not an ability that every dragon automatically possesses.

A young dragon will at first only produce meager results, comparable with the power of an ordinary pocket lighter, but it is still not recommended to give the jewel to a dragon too young to comprehend that they can do serious harm by playing around with fire.

A grown dragon will be able to produce strong bursts of fire, but thankfully, most dragons are good-natured enough to not abuse this ability.

Price: 150g
Order number: #J2

"Freezing Touch"

Gives the ability to make objects freeze at a simple touch. Again, a young dragon will not develop this ability at once - a baby dragon will at first only succeed in lowering the temperature a few degrees. In summer, it can be very handy to have a baby dragon with this ability around!

An adult dragon can turn a tub full of water into ice in a mere second. Practical uses aside, this can be a powerful and deadly weapon, should the dragon be inclined to use it as such.


In store: 9
Price: 150g
Order number: #J3


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


"Empathy"

All dragons are telepaths to a degree. They can usually talk mind-to-mind with their owners and with other dragons, but that is normally the extent of their psychic abilities. This jewel gives them the power of empathy - the ability to feel what other living things are feeling, and even to influence those feelings. That extends to humans, dragons, animals and even plantlife!

Oddly enough, this is an ability that even baby dragons can grasp at once, and in fact, young dragons seem to be better at it than older dragons!

This is usually not harmful in any way, but be prepared for sudden inexplicable bursts of sadness or joy while your dragon is getting used to their new ability.


In store: 7
Price: 150g
Order number: #J4



You should know that once you give a jewel to a dragon, you can't undo it, and a dragon is only capable of learning seven different magic abilities, so be careful about the jewels you buy!


To order something, just send a trade for the right amount and make a post here with the following form:

Name of dragon:
Order number of item:

Make sure that the item is in store before you order! I will make the necessary changes to your tag as soon as possible.

Breeding Rules
* Your dragon has to be an adult (Eternal Children count as adults, since only their appearance is childlike, not their mind!)
* Since dragons reproduce by a joining of spirits, gender doesn't matter - male/male and female/female couples can breed just as easily as female/male couples!
* A dragon can only breed four times in their life - if they gave any more of their spirit away, they would diminish their own life energy.
* Dragons cannot breed with their parents, siblings or offspring.


A breeding will usually produce two children who will start at the child stage (instead of the bag or plushie stage).

Breeding Spots available:
To see if there are breeding spots available, please check the colorists' sale posts!

Breeding costs 6k.

If a spot is available and you either own two adult dragons you want to breed or know somebody whose adult dragon you want to breed with yours (ask their permission first, please!), PM the colorist with the following information:

Name of first owner:
Name of second owner:
Name of first dragon:
Name of second dragon:
Name of first child if male:
Name of first child if female:
Name of second child if male:
Name of second child if female:

If the owner of one parent paid the breeding fee in full, both children will go to them (but they can chose to give one to the other owner). If the owner of the parents split the fee between them, each will get one child.

What you can do with your children:

- you can keep them
- you can give them away to a friend
- you can tell the colorist to auction them off for you

If you keep them or give them away, please let the colorist know, so that they know which name to write on the cert.

If you tell the colorist to auction them off, they will start a seperate auction for each child. The minimum bid will be 3k, and that's what you will get at least, so your breeding fee for the child will be covered in any case. If the child sells for more than 6k, you will get 50% of the winnings.

If you want to breed two dragons of different breeds, here is the breeding table:

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

The percentages are the likelyhood that a child is going to turn out that breed. So, in the cases where there are four different percentages, it doesn't mean the breeding will result in four children, but that each child has the possibility to turn out as one of these four breeds.

I've decided to take down the list of pets I would trade for... I constantly see pets that I like, and everyday, new shops with great pets open. So if you'd like to do a pet trade, just PM me, and if I have time and like your pet, we can work something out! I prefer pets that don't require roleplay, as I don't always have time to, and I'm not such a big fan of humanoid/anthro pets.
