Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is Merlin, our helper and mascot. He was the first Flurif, so we keep him around. Personally, I feel that he's more trouble than he's worth. He knows a handful of spells, and fancies himself a master magician. He's not. He's always getting into mischief... but most of our visitors consider him quite charming. Some have even offered to take him off our hands, but Stirspot wouldn't stand for that.

Anyway, enough about that. If you have any questions, I'm here to answer them.

What are Fluri?

Fluri is the plural of Flurif. As I said before, they are flying balls of fluff. They come in many different colors, and have different types of wings. They're generally about the size of a tennis ball, and no heavier.

They have no hands, but it doesn't matter, because all Fluri possess the ability of minor telekinesis. In other words, they can move and manipulate small objects without touching them. Different types of Fluri have additional powers that are unique to them.

Where do Fluri come from?

All Fluri come from here, Stirspot's workshop.

Here's the story: Fluri were created quite by accident, by the wizard Moplip Stirspot. One late night, an experimental mixture in his cauldron resulted in the creation of a living, flying ball of fluff (that would be Merlin). Further variations on the experiment created more of the fuzzy puffballs. He soon discovered that they each had unique personalities and possessed astonishing (but often useless) magical abilities, which he began to document. He also found that they make wonderful pets. In most cases, they're very friendly and intelligent, and they don't require much upkeep.

What is a Flurif made of?

It's a heavily guarded secret. I've heard rumors that suggest such things as cotton balls and fairy dust, but I can't confirm that. In addition to the basic mixture, any other ingredient can be used to make a new variety of flurif. By "ingredient," I mean literally anything and everything but the kitchen sink. Hmm, Stirspot may eventually try to use a kitchen sink. We'll see what happens then...

The ingredients used influence the appearance, abilities, and personality of the resulting Flurif. For example, if an apple was used as the ingredient, the Flurif might look a bit like an apple. Alternatively, it may just have an unhealthy obsession with apples. It's often a bit unpredictable, and in many cases it's impossible to make the exact same type of Flurif twice.

What can you do with a Flurif?

Fluri are great companions, and they are ideal to have around if you're planning on going on a journey or adventure. Their unique abilities make them a useful tool. For example, the green Fluri glows, so you can find your way through the dark. Although, some types of Flurif are better suited to other things. The brown Flurif's only known ability is... making mud puddles. I'm not actually sure what that would be useful for. Please tell me if you think of a purpose for a mud puddle maker.

At the moment, you can keep your Flurif in your signature or on another page (such as your journal). Some people even like to match their outfit to their Flurif. (If you buy a Bottle Rainbow, you could match your Flurif to your outfit instead!)

Fluri do not grow or change when you first get them. In order to get them to change, you need to buy a Fairy Potion. Then they will begin to transform.

In the future more things will be added to make the Fluri more interactive. We currently sell customization potions, and we'll eventually sell items. Feel free to make suggestions about what the shop could sell! Also, sometimes you can mix two Fluri together in the pot.

You can also adopt a unique Flurif. While there may be piles of basic and dark Fluri, there are also some interesting types that there are only a few (or even just one) of. If you want a pet that no one else has, you'll want one of these Fluri.

Check here to see if there are any unique Fluri up for adoption at the moment. If a type is crossed off the "Types available" list, it's been adopted already.

Stirspot has been mixing up some potions. These have... um, interesting effects if a Fluri drinks one. You purchase one here, if you'd like to try one out. The effects are currently not reversible, I warn you.





This potion is made from concentrated liquid fairy dust. It's very precious, so don't spill any! A very strange thing happens to a Flurif when it drinks some. It will begin to change into an anthro.

The Basic Potion is for Basic and Dark types. This also includes Basic or Dark Fluri who have drank the Bottled Rainbow or any other potion. Unique Fairy Potion is for Uniques and otherwise non-basic Fluri. Each potion is available in a male and female type.

For the full change, your Flurif will need to drink 4 ounces, a bit at a time, because Fluri are quite small and can't drink very much. The change takes place slowly (about 4 weeks). You can choose to either purchase the full 4 ounces or a few at a time. (Example: If you'd like your Flurif to stay at stage 3 forever, only buy 3 ounces. Then if you change your mind later and want the final form, buy 1 more ounce.)

Once you purchase the potion, your Flurif will reach stage 1 after approximately one week. Each additional stage will take place a week after the last, as long as you bought enough of the potion. If you'd like to read about the different stages of transformation, go here.



With this potion, you can change the colors of your Flurif, as much or little as you want. You can also be as specific as you want. You must have a Flurif in order to recolor it with this potion.




If you'd like to do something like keep its wing color the same, just put "same" in the blank.

This potion will work for any basic, dark, or unique Flurif, as long as you own it. If you choose to recolor the original unique Flurif, the original color will be released and available for someone else to adopt. biggrin

Instead of just saying "pink," if you have a certain shade of pink in mind, you could also say "magenta" or #EE00EE (more hex codes can be found here).

I will do things like spots or other markings. x3 Just be reasonable with what you're asking for. This potion is to recolor a Flurif, not create an entirely new one from scratch!

The last part of the form lets you further customize your Flurif. After all, if you're recoloring a basic white Flurif, but you've made it blue, you wouldn't want it to be still called "Basic White." Feel free to be creative with your new type name. Just make sure it isn't too long, or it won't fit. Also, if you have an interesting power or ingredient in mind for your Flurif to match its new look, you can change that. Once again, make sure it isn't too long!





These potions will cause your Flurif's wings (and cheeks if you choose) to glitter, sparkle, or shimmer. Shake well before drinking. These potions work on all basic, dark, and unique Fluri, but are recommended for basic or dark, because a unique's design is usually complicated already.
