Hope ::
You have acquired a pretty little Lotus flower from a creepy mysterious person! He tells you that it feeds on wishes, hopes,and other wispy things, such as incense, not water. The incense smell will always be following you around now, so pick a scent you like. It also glows and makes a nice nightlight. Whatever those light orbs are, they don't seem to be fireflies after all...

From Purity to Hope ::

~ 7 of 7 activity points or however long it takes for the next stage to be complete, RP not required.

~ Receiving the Lotus

Purity ::
Somehow, the Lotus has turned into a cute child that smells faintly of the incense you were using. The child is a blank slate, and remembers nothing (or nearly nothing) of life before you. By the way the child is asexual.

From Hope to Blossom ::
::30 activity points and 5 role-playing sessions or however more it takes for the child to decide on a gender (consciously or unconsciously; can also stay asexual).

~ 9 of 5 PDs (4 counted thus far) [1],[2],[3],[4][5][6][7][8][9]

~ 137 of 30 Activity Days

:: Upon reaching the above stated growth requirements, owners may submit a Growth Request.
:: Once approved, it will be added into the artist's (likely) long list of things to do. Owners are encouraged to continue roleplay at the Purity stage in the meantime.
:: Submit growth requests in the Growth Request thread in this forum. If one is worried that it may be overlooked, mention it in the shop thread and include a link to the post in question.

Blossom ::
After interacting with other people (RPs) your child grows up and (possibly) decides on a gender. Due to the circumstances of their birth they cannot age any further, but they will look pretty forever.

From Blossom to ??? ::
:: A lot of good roleplaying and character development.
:: The shop shall notify the owner via PM if and when this stage is reached. The owner may then choose to accept or decline the growth offer.

??? ::
Depending on character development and role-playing, your child may be able to reach this stage and fully awaken.

In Chinese culture, the Pine, Bamboo, and Plum together are referred to as "Three Friends in Winter."
Pine (Song Tzue), for its evergreen needles;
Bamboo (Yoru), for not fearing the winter cold;
Plum (Xiang Bai Mei), for budding and blossoming despite the snow.
When other plants wither and die from the frost and ice, these three friends stay and pass snowy winters together.

About: Jing Lin is an artist, one who works with steady hands to create small wonders out of Jade. Normally what he makes are small pieces to sell as jewelry of little sculptures. On occasion though he will work at something bigger, more in depth, pieces that have him working day in and day out to create. He is a studious man who rarely ventures out of his work space unless it is to get food, rest, or a breath of air. His work is all that is important to him since the passing of his wife. She was never a strong woman so their were no children born to light his life after her death, only his works of art are there to keep him company before they are sold off.

Siblings: N/A

~ Working out the details of this  

[Orpheus Solon]

Bai Mei's little dragon! Born from a prize egg that was obtained through winning at an egg balancing game during the Dragon Boat Festival. It was a most unexpected prize, as he'd played the game just for fun, and one that has made Bai Mei quite happy to be able to take care of it. Given a lot of time and care the egg hatched and what sprung forth from it was something most unexpected. He'd always thought that, perhaps, it would end up being a bird of some sort, maybe a chicken, and instead he it was a little dragon!

On top of that the little dragon is able to fade from sight, masking himself from those that the little creature didn't see as being worthy of seeing him. It causes a bit of trouble when some people see him and others don't, making them think that it's some sort of trick. Add in that people already think Bai Mei and his father odd due to the rumors that swirl around them has only made the appearance of the dragon has only caused an increase in them. As always though Bai Mei really isn't bothered by it, so long as his father, and his friends are happy then he is too.
