    ...05/01/08 : First : I may be doing a few customs near the end of the middle of May, so all of you who are interested better start saving your pennies now. I'm not sure on a date yet but I will let you know when I set it.

    Second :
    I hope to get more information up soon. I have a bit typed from what I wrote before, but I don't want to post incomplete info so I haven't shown it yet. It gives more details into each species, their habitats and other various things. I will even have info for the familiars and predators. It will even include breeding info that I'm sure a few people are already interested in.

    Third : As for pet trades, those probably won't be open for a while so it's no use asking as of yet... I don't even have any sort of post for them yet. Bribes though are always an option and I'd only consider things double the custom price.

    Lastly, Fourth : I hate to do it, but I have a pet peeve about it. I'd like to ask that people not use images in their posts while in the thread. I know a lot of people like to display their art, but I've never liked that fad. Some people might have dial up, and loading extra images is a hassle and clutters the page. I've already banned those sort of things from events, but I'd like to politely ask they stop all together.

    ...04/20/08 : Our bird event is in the works! Check out page two for more information. Also, the front has been updated. Double check the RP posts and the new Tribe Info post.
    ...03/23/08 : Our first sale went off well enough! Please look forward to something more in a week or so!
    ...03/07/08 : Most of the thread has been filled in, finally. There are still some holes but we're filling them in. Flatsale previews are on page 2, though time and date are still TBD. Please keep your eyes open for the flatsale and upcoming events!
    ...03/02/08 : Started the thread!

    ...001. GIVE EVERYONE RESPECT. There is no need to throw hurtful comments around, harass someone or even gang up on an individual. It's a open community. If you have a problem that needs to be addressed, PM me and I will take care of it - if not a mod will be dealt with after I have been made aware of the problem.
    ...002. KEEP IT CLEAN. Meaning no swearing or profanity in the thread. Also don't go past PG13 with your RP if you're on gaia. Outside I can't stop you, but let's try not to abuse the TOS please.
    ...003. ONLY PM THE MULE. The lineartist, guest colorists and other thread related people will not and cannot get you free pets if you PM them. If you have a question, either post it in the thread or PM the mule please.
    ...004. NO DECORATIVE POSTS. Please, do not use formatted posts with images, poems, links, or silly random things scattered a the top and bottom. It only makes the pages load longer, sometimes can be an eyesore, and I do not want to search through a block of image/text to find what your saying or asking... I apologize for the inconvenience, but keep images to your sigs.
    ...005. FREE GAME. You are allowed to own as many microraptors that you can afford. However, if you do own a microraptor you may be prohibited from entering in certain events for newbies but you can proxy for someone else.
    ...006. DON'T STEAL. King and I have put a lot into the shop with lineart and templeting. Please don't take things and claim them as your own. I'm not talking about sig images, but of outright stealing the lines to use them elsewhere.
    ...007. MY RIGHTS. I have the right to refuse anyone a microraptor whether because of their behavior or past experiences. If I need to remove a raptor from you, I will refund you and event off your microraptor.


REMEMBER RP IS NOT MANDATORY BUT ENCOURAGED.
Rules will be added as they are needed.

GOLDEN RULE : I have the final say in the thread. Please don't try to get on my bad side.

Severin is the last member of his tribe after a sever attack from a rival Baro tribe. Before the attack, Severin was a kind and loving leader who put everyone before himself. However, due to the obvious pain from losing one's family, he's become a hard faced and impatient raptor. Not one to be a loner, he's in search for new tribe members to guide and under his wing and teach what he knows for survival.

Luka and the love of his life, Ronia, left their previous tribe due to conflicts from their parents. A bit of a star-crossed love affair, Luka was the son of the alpha pair and Ronia a simple scavenger. Having met one night during a tribal celebration, the two began to meet in secret until they were caught. Luka himself is quite head strong and determined to do everything he can. Being a prince of sorts, he's well knowledged in the areas of being an alpha male and now searches for rogue lepto microraptors to join his and Ronia's tribe.

THE THREE ANCIENT ONES

Madresene is one of the ancient trio, the oldest Lepto Microraptor known by the rest. Due to an unfortunate meeting of a liopleurodon, and two bites later, Madresene had lost her left wing. Regardless, she still thinks she can swim around like younger Lepto's despite her age. This loudmouth's never been able to find the liopleurodon that bit off her arm, it doesn't hold her back.

Favian isn't one to approach on a whim. He's a cranky old man that will snap at any one who speaks to him without being spoken to. Set in the ways of the past, you must first give him respect to earn his. These old bones aren't just for standing, he can strike fast and still whip those young hooligans into shape with a mighty fist... That is if he can see them. This grumpy old man does have a sight problem but refuses to admit this weakness. He's fine, leave him alone.

All Microraptors are omnivores. IE they eat plants, berries and meat.
( They are even cannibals... meat is meat to a dinosaur. )

Flying is an option:
Leptos can take full flight
Protos can do long distance gliding
Baro's short distance gliding

Baro Territory... Home to the larger breed of microraptors, they are mostly meat eaters prone to hunting and scavenging. Baro can glide for short distances but run fast due to their muscular legs. Baro can not swim well, but it is possible. Territory is dry, rocky and has little vegetation. Dangers are from Tar pit or volcanic eruption.

Proto Territory... Home to the medium breed of microraptors, they are omnivores eating meats, nuts, berries and vegetation. Proto can fly short distances and glide for long distances. Running and swimming is average. Territory is well sheltered by trees and foliage. Dangers are forest fires.

Lepto Territory... Home to the smaller breed of microraptors, omnivores eating mostly fish, some meat, fruits and vegetation. Lepto can take full flight. They are excellent swimmers though running is slow. Territory is sandy with foliage. Dangers are minimal, save for tsunami or typhoon.

Neutral Territory... Hunting ground for Baro and Proto.

Underwater... Eroded cliff now below the water, mostly home to creatures from below.

The most important thing to remember when RPing is that you ARE the microraptor.
Also please don't name your raptors anything modern sounding, (IE Billy Bob)
Latin based names are preferred, however other languages are acceptable.


...Temper is the mood your microraptor is in 90% of the time.
...Tribe is of course the group of microraptors yours dwells with.
...Rank puts your microraptor in it's place within the tribe. There will be many job oppertunities within each tribe.

Raptors do eat meats and vegetation, the territory information earlier in this post contains more details for each species.

A tribe is more or less a group of micro raptors living together. Either their all blood related or possibly together due to a similar interest. Most prefer to live in groups for various reasons like protection, socialization and who would want to live alone?

Roleplay is not required for tribe members, however if your raptor is not affiliated with a tribe, it by default becomes a "rogue" and "scavenger."

Tribal Jobs ...
... Alpha status : One male and one female. Leaders of the tribes.
... Beta status : One male, one female. Second in commands.
... Teachers : Those that teach to hunt, fish, build, fight, etc.
... Shamans : Those that heal injuries with herbs and wisdom.
... Fighters : Those that protect the tribe.
... Hunters : Those that help feed the tribe.
... Gatherers : Those that supply the tribe with daily necessities like berries, twigs, and water.
... Builders : Those that create tribal walls and sleeping nests.
... Artisans : Those that make baskets, jewelery, and other artistic things.

More to Come!

Rogue Jobs :
... Scavengers : On their own, they'll hunt for scraps or take down their own prey. However lone micro raptors are more prone to scavenge what a tribe didn't finish if they can get their hands on it.


How to make a Tribe...
Tribes need a male and female alpha to be established as well as a tribe name.
Look in the following threads for your species tribal information:
Proto Microraptors
Lepto Microraptors
Baro Microraptors


General information needed to create a tribe is the following:

Tribal Name :
Tribal Numbers : (how many in the tribe)
RP Requirements : (yes or no)
Affiliation : (private or open to the public)
Background Information : (preferred not mandatory, how the tribe became to be)
Alpha Male : (mandatory)
Alpha Female : (mandatory)
Beta Male : (preferred not mandatory)
Beta Female : (preferred not mandatory)
Other Members and their Jobs : (list similar to above)


Please Note...
... All tribes must have an Alpha male and Alpha female.
... If a small tribe of less than ten members has no new enrollment in the span of three months, it may either disban it's members to other tribes, or join with another small tribe. (This mostly applies to RP active tribes. A small tribe doesn't have the job-oriented members it needs to survive. Keep this in mind.)

IF YOU WON A MICRORAPTOR...
    Remember to send a trade to me promptly.
    Also send me a PM with the following information for the raptor:
    Name:
    Temper:
    Tribe : (should you be RPing)
    Player : (either your username or if it's gifted to someone else)
    Cert Choice : to start, choice is Clear Sky or Cloudy Sky.

    *Note : Rping will award you with different background choices.

    Temper is the mood your microraptor is in 90% of the time.

    Tribe is of course the group of microraptors yours dwells with.

    Rank puts your microraptor in it's place within the tribe. There will be many job opportunities within each tribe.
    (Most start as a Hunter or Gatherer, unless it's a new tribe. Look in the Tribe post for more details.)


CERT BACKGROUND CHOICES
User Image


Cert backgrounds can be changed in two ways. One, RPing your microraptor and two, gaining points through various games here in the thread. If you have enough points, or the name of your raptor is on the list below you can go to this thread :

and have your cert changed. Use this thread to also add additional information to your cert. IE, if your microraptor joined a tribe or left one.

    ... Q. What are the Feather Brains?
    A. Well, they are a form of microraptor. There's multiple species each with different needs. Check out the guild for more information!

    ... Q. Awesome I love dinosaurs! How do I get one?!
    A. There will be many ways to receive a Feather Brain all of your own through Flatsale, Auction, Raffle, Games, or just by hanging around! So keep your eyes and ears open.

    ... Q. Can I get one for free?
    A. Possibly, but only if we offer it to you. Asking for a free Feather Brain will only get you grey listed. Repeated offenders will even get black listed. So be careful and please don't beg us.

    ... Q. Well... How much do they cost?
    A. Flatsale price is 5K, auctions start at 10K. Other events will vary.

    ... Q. Are you hiring?! I want to color some for you!
    A. Unfortunately at the moment we are not hiring. If the time comes where we are we'll publicly announce it.

    ... Q. If I have a question, should I PM you?
    A. I'd prefer if you posted your question in the thread, however if you need to PM me then you are more than welcome to.

    ... Q. Where do we RP?
    A. Well either here in the main thread, or in the RP area of the guild. It's totally up to you and who you are RPing with.

    ... Q. Is this on gaia?
    A. No it is not... or if it is, there are no gaian's here what so ever. Remember you play the microraptor, not a gaian with a pet dinosaur.
