Under Construction


In an old oriental antiquities shop filled with clutter and knick knacks from all over the orient, an ancient looking man can be found. Wearing traditional chinese merchant garb, while sitting in a meditative state and smoking a long pipe. The old man seems not to notice anything about his surroundings, but perhaps he does. There is just something eerie about him.

When one passes him by, a rather prominent display of oriental fans could be seen. All of them with the same depiction. Behind the display is a man that seems to be in his thirties dressed much the same as the old man. Perhaps paying too much attention to the fans as he lovingly dusts them and starts giving his sales pitch.

"These fans make a lovely traditional decoration to any home. They are said to bring luck and prosperity to the home that they are placed. Won't you buy one?"

It wouldn't be until the fan is purchased and one is leaving that they would hear the old man cackling. "You will find out the surprise if you can see beyond what we know to be real!"

Long ago in an ancient shop in china a set of fans were found. Inside the fans were traped guardians ment to guard or punish mankind for their actions. Out of fear for what could come from the fans the man owning the shop hid them rather than sell them to the public as it was ment, keeping judgement at bay until the time of his grandson.

This grandson finding the fans though it was strange that they were in the shop at all, and he took the fan's home, hanging one above his bed before he went to sleep. The fan he hung would not open yet come the morning the fan was open and a figure was seen on the silkscreen backing. Thinking that it was nothing but the shifting of the walls of his house that opened the fan he went to work.

That evening when he got back home, waiting for him was a rather strange young canine that followed him around, watching him as if judgeing his every action. No little worried by the strange animal and the fact that on later observation the image was gone from the fan in his room. This led the man to look through the items at his store, where he found out about the fans, and the strange canine.

Tessen Fukei: Fan guardians, those that would judge the good or ill in man, either guarding them, or being their doom as they are treated. Just like any guardian they can be swayed though, to serve man or to run wild.

Knowing what he had to do, he gathered all the other fan's and prepared to sell them to the public, and let the world decide what would come of the guardian's within.

    1. Do not steal, edit, or otherwise alter these images if you don't work for us . Doing so will result in an immediate (and permanent) blacklisting and a report to a moderator. Art theft is not taken lightly.

    2. Suicide threats in the thread are not tolerated. You will not be given your own way. People who use such extreme tactics will be PMed about crisis intervention organizations and be blacklisted from the shop. Threats against any other owner are also taken very seriously, and will be forwarded to a MOD, accompanied by a blacklisting.

    3. NO COMPLAINING or whining or begging. Please no depressive behaviour either, emotional tactics are a big no no. Its pixel pets not real life. Speaking about problems in an appropriate manner is fine, we all have them. And everyone needs someone to talk to, in order to sort things out. But emotional ploys and cries for attention are not acceptable. Nor are they tolerated. Please refrain from using such things to guilt others or make them feel bad. We realize sometimes you may not mean to make others feel bad but please refrain from that behaviour. If you feel you must speak about serious problems, it is recommended to speak to someone in your real life. If that is not possible, direct this to Kithen in PM. Keep it off the thread. And keep in mind, you will be directed to appropriate crisis intervention help.

    4. Feel free to RP in this thread. It's good for bumpage. No cybering. Violence is accepted, but be respectful of the wishes of others in the thread. PG rule still applies here, though RP is allowed to get a bit more graphic within reason. RP can also take place in the guild.

    5. Everyone must listen to Steal, who both use the shop account, or staff. Your pet can be removed and taken away without refund for breaking shop rules, causing trouble for other owners from this shop, or for harassment or ill-treatment of shop owners or the staff of this shop, whether in the shop, PM, or messanger. You can be greylisted or temp banned if you choose not to listen to the staff, perm banned if its the owners or if the offense is severe enough.

    6. a. DO NOT fight out of character in this thread. If you do, the persons who are involved will be immediately greylisted and have restrictions put upon them. This is done at our discretion; If it's not a bad fight, other measures may be considered. Extremely severe fights will be met with a blacklisting. RP fighting between the pets is acceptable.

    b. Do NOT harrass or hound other pet owners whether it be in the thread, PM, or on messanger. If proof is provided and received with a complaint, you can be grey-listed or blacklisted. Owners have no obligation to give offspring from a breeding to anyone who harasses them. And they are NOT permitted to simply give their pets away.

    7. Do not lie to Steal, or to the staff. If this is discovered it may likely be a bannable offence. Lying is pointless, honesty will get you alot further with us.

    8. You are to notify the shop account within one week of changing your avatar name, or getting a new account. If we discover your name to no longer exist, we reserve the right to take your pet back at no refund to you, and resell it.

    9. RP Rule- RP is optional with these pets, but definately encouraged. But you can only recieve perks if they are actively roleplayed. And later when we add an elder stage, they can only obtain that through intense rp. You must RP in the shop thread, or in the guild. RP in PM's or over a messanger does not count towards the actual storylines of this shop. And please do not RP your pets in other shops, or bring pets in from another shop. The RP takes place in an actual oriental antiquities shop, or out in the forming world that the Tessen can only reach. We do not want people RPing themselves or humans intereacting with the Tessen. They are a spirit guardian. Human's have their place within the shop, but cannot interact with the pets in RP.

    10. Bumping and Spamming of the shop thread is not needed or wanted. Warning will be given, and if not heeded, may result in a greylisting. This thread is for social interaction and RP. Bumping is accepted in auction or sale threads. Infact, that is the only place we encourage it.

    11. No co-owning of pets unless otherwise specified.

    12. Owners can keep one offspring each from breedings to keep or sell, the third they must agree on what to do with. If there is randomly a fourth given, that one will return to the shop. If at a later time we sell a potion or something that allows for an extra child, it would belong to the person who bought it, for them to do with as they please. (Limit of one per owner in the breeding) Any unclaimed offspring will also return to the shop, after a period of approximately two weeks. (Unless warning is given of an absence around the time fan postings should be taking place.)

    13. All inactive pets can be bred with, if the owner agrees, with an active one. The cost would be half the regular price, and they keep one offspring, and get half the sale price of a second one. This is offered as an OOC perk to active owners, and to mix and circulate the traits. Such breedings will be under shop permission only, and the offspring will not be counted towards the inactive pets lineage if they don't wish it to. Nor will it affect any breeding limits.

    14. We reserve the right to refuse anyone permission to own one of our pets. A reason may be requested in PM politely, but one may not be given. Anyone on the blacklist is forbidden to ever own one of these pets.



Colourist Rules


    1.) All staff must listen to, Steal or those appointed to speak for them. What they say goes, since Steal owns the shop. Shop Moderators are to be listened to; they have the authority to greylist most of the time.

    2.) Colorists, please get the okay from the owners before having an auction. They are in charge afterall and they want to know what is going on. The shop owner has the free time and will gladly run it for you.

    3.) If you are let go, or no longer wish to be a staff member of this shop (as-in quit), you do not hold any copyrights to any outlines, even if you altered them. They are property of Steal, and they are Prolixity's copyrights. Any colorings you submitted to us that haven't been sold yet can be sold without the 50% payment to you since you no longer work for the shop.

    4.) The outlines are for use here on GaiaOnline, in the shop only. Using them for profit is theft and will be severely dealt with.

    5.) Any changes in the outlines dealing with the Tessen must be comfirmed by Steal before being sold or auctioned. You're free to alter the lineart and be creative, but please don't sell it without approval. His permission is easy to get so please pass it by her first. He love new ideas and creativity, but he must see it first (copyright issues and stuff).

    6.) You may not enter your images colored by you in any Art forum, such as Elfwood, DeviantART, or the Gaia Art Arena rating forum here. The coloring is your work, but the outline is still copyrighted to Sirenz.

    7.) Everyone may set there own prices for autobuys (in auctions, of course) as long as it is within reason. If it is found to be unreasonable then it will be reviewed and one of the shop owners will give you a fair range to set it in.

    8.) Newly hired colorists are on a one month probationary period. If it does not work out, they will be let go.

---------------------------------------------------------------



Anyone breaking these rules will be warned, then greylisted if the behavior continues, and then blacklisted. There will be NO exceptions. Unbanning is unlikely, and would be for a very good reason. However if you do become unbanned, any pets you had removed will not be returned to you, however we may consider giving you new ones.

It is said that the strange dog-guardians known as the Tessen mate like any other creature. But for them to produce offspring, there is a place deep within the enchanted Forest of Life that they go to.

If they are blessed with the sacred waters of the divine mirror pool during their coupling, then their joined essences will create the new guardians imprinted on the fans to start their new life-cycle.

These creatures only breed male to female, except in very odd circumstances. Then the powers that be occasionally grant permission and bless them with offspring.
User Image


When breeding slots are open, please claim in the thread and send trade to the mule account. Once it has been received, please PM the order form below to the shop mule. It will then be forwarded to the assigned colourist. The cost for a regular breeding that results in three fans is 6k.

Q. I have no gold, can you give me a pet?
A. No, you can save up for one like everyone else.

Q. There aren't any for sale right now but I want one real bad, gimme!
A. You have to wait for some sort of sale to go up, or for someone to be willing to give one to you.

Q. Can I pay you later and get my pet now?
A. No, it must be paid in full before it gets tagged to you.

Q. Why is it taking so long for my Tessen to grow?
A. Normally it doesn't take long for the pets to grow to maturity, but sometimes us shop owners have lives. Please be patient or send a discreet PM.

Q. I like that one up for sale/auction right now, wanna do a pet trade?
A. The sale/auction is already set up, so no. If you're interested in a pet trade, then send a PM to the shop mule. If one of us is interested, it's a custom for a custom.

Q. I didn't save ___ stage for my Tessen, do you have a copy?
A. Sorry, no. There isn't enough room on either of our computers or in the photobucket to keep track of every stage for every Tessen.

Q. Wasn't Steal the main owner of the shop?
A. Please send Kithen a PM and she'll gladly explain it.
