Hello honeys, your resident Don Juan – Maxx – here to kickstart the par-tay. Some of us are dressed for Chinese New Year, some for Valentine’s Day because we’re bastardizing our own culture’s holiday. We’re sticking to ‘It’s okay if it’s our own culture!!11’ I’ll be your host again, and though we don’t have a contest this time, please feel free to get festive and dress up with us for the occasion(s).
Our little sweetheart Belle is your Valentine Messenger and you can be sure she'll be moving as fast as she can on her winged, gold-slippered feet to get Candygrams to your loved ones.

Our depressed artist Jun is currently looking a lot like Karate Kid from Legion of Superheroes, but I'm sure it's a coincidence…And I'm still peeved they don't have cheongsams for guys and destroyed my devious plans.
Demi is the hottest GM I've ever seen and looks like she would've been called "The Midnight Lotus" in the 40s. Whoo! Whoo!

Jules, the RP manager, is a dutiful Knave of Hearts and will be defending the thread's honour. xd

- And we are of course, your lovely staff-c**-hosts for this event.

Buy your tickets [please refer to Instructions for details] from…
12pm PST on the 6th February 2008 to 5pm PST on the 14th February 2008
…for a chance to take the Valentine Rat girl home!

. Valentine Rat ♀ | Keyword - SUGAR SPICE EVERYTHING NICE .

Alright, so that's a keyphrase, but it's all true! How obvious is it that we're [mostly] 1. Chinese and 2. single? Because, yep, we'd planned for a little rat girl for Chinese New Year, but totally forgot about Valentine's Day. When we realised our slight, we jacked in an extra infusion of PINK to compensate - but we might have overdone it, because she's now smart like a Chinese Zodiac rat, sugar-sweet like candy, and has fluffy hair pink-striped like a peppermint sucker in strawberry. Oy vey! The little heart she's making with her claw-tipped fingers might definitely have been too much…

Please Note: The preview shown is of her third stage evolution
Please refer to Crashcourse for growth details

. Points to Note About Valentine Rat .
♠ Her hairstyle and Valentine colouring is special, 'against type', meaning that there are elements that would ordinarily not be included on a Hyte with its human form conceived off of its base animal [i.e. short hair on a short-furred animal is 'to type', long hair on a short-furred animal is 'against type']. This is an attribute that only customs and rare special events may have.
♠ Her Adult Stage does not come with a Tektek’d outfit option – she will be depicted in a pre-designed cheongsam/qipao/what-Gaia-so-charmingly-terms-dragon-gown
[the owner cannot choose]
♠ She comes depicted with a heart-shaped hairclip in all stages, and has a Mandarin-orange-heart emblem on her certificate to indicate her special status

THINGS TO NOTE

♠ Disallowed: Chatspeak | l337 [in most cases] | Lame combination handles [e.g. LadiesMan217, number optional]
♠ Discouraged Culture-specific names unsuitable for cultural context of the Hyte | Overtly dubious fandom names

. About Co-ownership .
♠ Co-ownership is not encouraged, but allowed - if bidding as such, note the different owners but do still calculate and state your total
and make sure the payment trade is from one account alone
♠ There is no guarantee we may be able to fit all your names onto the cert!
♠ HyTech is not liable in case of dispute between owners
♠ If the dispute cannot be settled, the Hyte may be rehomed judging on a case-by-case basis

. Hyte Collection .
♠ The Hyte will be certed and threaded after you inform us of her name
♠ We will then PM you with the cert thread and the cert url
♠ Thereafter, we will PM you after every stage growth with the url of the relevant off-cert graphic
[Remember to keep up your checking-in until your Hyte has matured!]

. TERMS AND CONDITIONS .

Checking-in - While HyTech does not require RP, we do require regular checking-in until the Hyte is fully mature. HyTech will inform owners via PM every time there is a stage progression - thus, checking-in periods are as such:
♠ One cert thread post [or PM] per stage growth
♠ One cert thread post [or PM] every two weeks for non-growth periods
♠ This is only necessary until the pet has reached the adult stage
♠ There is a grace period of a week to make the relevant post
♠ Growth will not commence for the next stage until contact is made
[*RP not necessary - any indication of acknowledgement will suffice] The reason why we require checking in is so we can make sure of contact in time for the outfit customisation of the adult stage. HyTech is usually quite forgiving for up to approximately half a year, but if no contact is forthcoming and everything falls into a state of impending extinction, don't be too surprised if Social Services comes around and decides to rehome one's Hyte…

Return Policy - If the owner tires of the pet, HyTech will accept a return and rehome the pet at reduced prices. As this is a raffle Hyte, we will not offer a refund. While we do not perform exchanges, a previous owner may still purchase other pets in the future.

Speaking in Terms of Reality - While the owner owns the character of the pet and may display the images and certs at will, the art and character design itself is still property of HyTech, and must be credited as such. The artist reserves the right to display or use the artwork and pursue other avenues with the design. All better-sized images are accompanied by a background logo for our image protection - owners may request unmarked versions for the cert threads. Thank you for your understanding!

. CRASH COURSE .

Before you apply for a Hyte, you really should read all the information in our Shop Thread. Just in case, though, here's a crash course to cover the basics and the most important bits you need to know!

. About the Pets .
♠ 5-stages [RP +1] with unique lineart for each pet past protoform cylinder
♠ Most Hytes take an average of about 3 months to fully mature [not including RP +1]
♠ All pets are breedable - please refer to Shop Thread for details
♠ Roleplaying is not required, only checking-in till Adult stage - please refer to Terms and Conditions for details

. In-house Example of Growth Progression.

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

. About Roleplaying .
♠ Roleplaying is entirely optional
♠ Each pet will come with a cert thread that can be used as an RP journal
♠ RP incentive: extra stage - please refer to Showroom for details
♠ As there is no strict RP storyline, HyTech RP is a casual affair with emphasis on character interaction, particularly among pets.
Through RP, one may be able to influence the final appearance of the Hyte before it reaches the adult stage.

All the same, please do visit the Shop Thread to read up on all the information if you haven't done so!

. NOW PLAYING .

I’m renewing my DJ Pimp Daddy/Don Juan Maxx status with an eclectic mix of Chinese songs, love songs, and Chinese love songs. This means you’ll be getting Chinese songs from the 90s or from a very specific band.

I warned ya.

And now, as you guys threaten us with fireworks and festive damages for the raffle results, I will smoothly incorporate the last dedication we received - what Kaitaia described as a 'love-y' song, The Taste The Touch by Asteria. Thanks for your dedication Kaitaia, and please enjoy while we scuttle off to Random.org, burn a few sticks of incense and baste ourselves at the feet of mutiple gods and pray for good atmospheric noise. BRB guys. wink

Now Playing…

Asteria - The Taste The Touch

Taking your dedications whenever you send them and whenever I'm online. smile
PM me with:.
♠ The url to the song [mp3 or streaming]
♠ Band and Title
♠ Your message [dedication or otherwise]]

I'll be waitin'!

. Past Requests .

Asteria - The Taste The Touch
Rodney Carrington - Carlos, Man of Love
The Hazzards - Gay Boyfriend
One Semester of Spanish - Love Song
New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
张学友 - 分手总要在雨天

Number of Requests : [ 6 ]
Kaitaia - The Taste The Touch by Asteria
Sailor Savannah - Carlos, Man of Love by Rodney Carrington : "Not the faint of heart! He is what you're dreaming of, let Carlos be your Man of Love!! ♥"
Sailor Savannah - Gay Boyfriend by the Hazzards : "For all the ladies that can never seem to find the right guy at the right time, this one's for you!!!"
Colton [Kuro Maata] - One Semester of Spanish - Love Song : "Just because Lilith thinks that she loves you, I felt the need to dedicate a song to you. This is a good depiction of what I see when you try and court Lilith."
RuthieAngel - Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order
Maxx D - 分手总要在雨天 by 张学友 : "I’m starting the list with a Chinese – actually, Cantonese – number, 分手总要在雨天 by 张学友, one of my [unfortunately deceased] mom's favourite songs. Okay, so it's not really romantic nor is it about the New Year, and it's a lot more about rain and breaking up in it, but hey, most of you can't tell right? twisted "
