When death claims you...


User Image

Many have answers for the uncomfortable reality of a true death,
fictions that glaze over the unsettling truth and lead billions through a safe, unsuspecting life.

But, I reveal to you the truth now: there is no peace in the afterlife, not for the likes of us.

            [17 December 2009]Animus Incendia started!
            [10 December 2009] Re-updating front page. New information inserted. Declaring 'beta' phase.
            [22 September 2009] Shop thread posted. However, the hiring thread is still open.


            || introduction ||

            Hello, welcome to Rebirth: Chapter Sanctuary. It's a B/C shop that Sye and I began plotting for in the middle of June, 2009. It's been a project long under construction, and it is still in the works. Over the months, there have been multiple changes made to the concept and yet it still remains unopened. Why? Because neither of us were sure that it was ready.

            With this, I would like to introduce to you Rebirth - in its beta phase. Hammering over theoretical details can only continue for so long before we come to a dead end and must turn it over to the B/C community. I will warn you now - Rebirth is complex. It is not just an 'alternative earth'. It's a world beyond Earth, beyond death... and possibly beyond anything you have seen in a B/C shop. It is not for the faint of heart. If you would like to join us on this adventure, I would like to remind you to be flexible and be willing to deal with challenges, and remind you that this is a commitment.

            Rebirth is likely to remain in its beta phase for one year before officially opening. I would like to ask any Beta-users to plan on participating actively in order to help us progress beyond just the testing phase. If you enjoy intense RPs and becoming heavily involved in your B/C shops, then this may just be the task for you. Until the shop opens officially, all sales will be roleplay prompt based - including auctions. I will be clear in stating that we are only looking for high level roleplayers that are active on Gaia and a knack for handling details who are genuinely interested in helping us complete this project.

            So, if I haven't scared you away with my little speech, let the game begin.

            -- Fai, Dec. 10, 2009

|| the world ||

        >>> Thareon

Thareon is the world of the dead much as Earth is the world of the living. The spirits of those who die on Earth live in Thareon as Cor Edirrs. Because Thareon exists as a 'shadow world' of the planet Earth it has much of the same environment and does not fit in with the description humans hold dear of Heaven nor Hell. The ecosystems the planet hosts are similar to that of Earth with rainforests to deserts and everything in between. Though overall the weather is traditionally warmer on Thareon than what one would expect on Earth; there are still some snow-stricken regions and winters get extremely cold. Wild weather changes are also not abnormal within Thareon though it will never go from hot and sunny to snowy and frozen within the span of a day.

Most Cors' have settled on a large continent referred to collectively as The Sanctuary because it serves the life of a Cor well and seems to be the 'dumping point' of the recently deceased souls. Within The Sanctuary lie the Academies that Cors attend to learn of their new lives and of trades that can aid their people. As Cors live in Clans and rely on people to do things humans expect technology to do, those who follow are warriors earn more respect than those who aren't. Some Clans choose to dwell outside of The Sanctuary and these are usually the more aggressive Cors, who pay little mind to dealing with harsh environments with few to rely on or creatures that do not want the Cors to trespass in their home.

Much of Thareon past The Sanctuary has been left unexplored, so while The Sanctuary boasts buildings and tradesmen to purchase clothing the rest of the world is mostly wild with few cities. Many different types of beasts, most of whom humans do not believe exist, live within Thareon and The Sanctuary. The farther from home you travel, the larger and more aggressive the beast you are likely to find. Because of this, it is recommended that until you are through with your learning at the Academy you do not tread far or without a Val-Aeon by their side.

>>> Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is a the size of a small country and located in the northeast section of the continent called Foraise, which is filled with vast forests and an equally large residential and mercantile districts that surrounds the Academies and Guilds. To the north of The Sanctuary you would find a mountainous region and far to the south begins a desert that spans much of the interior of the continent. Aside from the desert in the middle and the plains in the west, the continent is covered primarily with forests, mountains, rivers and lakes.

Due to the structure of The Sanctuary there is no specific ruler over all, instead the place separated into Districts, each of which have their own respective leader who oversees their immediate needs. When a need arises that requires more than the District's leader to look into it, they have a communal meeting in which all leaders and vice leaders from each District come together to vote on the solution. There is a similar meeting held annually to ensure that The Sanctuary is fulfilling the needs of each District with changes made as necessary and that borders are re-drawn when needed. Should any problems arise that can not be dealt with words, a Trial of Arms is held to see who is right. The winner of a Trial of Arms gets to decide the solution and others must follow their choice. Because the Cors are a largely warrior based race they are bound by a Code of Honor and while they may not always agree with the victor, they will respect the decision made at all costs and obey any new laws or rules that come from it.


>>> the Academy

Most of the Cor-Edirrs that come to Thareon are raised and trained within the walls of the Academy, because of this fact alone the Academy has one of the most powerful presences in The Sanctuary and the rest of Thareon. The Academy began many eons ago by what were, at the time, the noblility and has continued to grow into the massive webwork of buildings and Cors that it is today. While the nobility no longer have anything to do with The Academy some aspects from the olden days still remain in a Council of the Wise which consists of administrators from all five schools of the Academy. These council members come together to discuss matters of the Academy and the Cors' it hosts as students regularly for the advancement of the school's own needs and desires. The Council also often discusses issues within The Sanctuary and weighs in when necessary on the expansion of The Sanctuary.

The five schools within The Academy are the School of Primitive Care, The School of Education, The College of Crafts, The Healer's Hall and finally the Military Academy. Some students might dabble in all five schools, others might touch base in only one or two before settling into their final home at The Academy. Each school specializes in their own thing, with all five creating a well rounded and fully developed Cor by the time their education is complete. The School of Primitive Care deals mostly with the newer Cors and touches base on caring for themselves in their new bodies, prepares them for maturation, and teaches them the basics of the Hunt. Occasionally classes will also be held with the beasts and creatures from within and outside The Sanctuary. The School of Education builds their foundation of knowledge of Thareon and their fellow Cor to prepare them to become educated peers able to help make decisions and contribute to their Clans. The College of Crafts is where things such as the arts, cooking, and other such abilities are honed. Those that do not wish the physical hardship of the Military Academy might choose to stay here rather than continue on with their education to the Military Academy. The Military Academy tests its students' physical prowess and strategical mind before accepting them, but once you are there you will learn all the traits necessary to not only win a Test of Arms but also battles within a war should they be needed. Here the Cors are made into warriors and prepared for the true tests of the wilds.

|| stages ||

User Image

        >>> Stage I: Aeon
        The Aeon are newly reborn souls. They are nothing more than a child's form from the chest up, and a wispy, faded mass at the bottom. They have no clear gender as of yet. Their upper torsos are clearly defined, however, and are usually humanoid in appearance. Their level of intelligence seem to be that of a 10 year old child in general.

        >>> Stage II: Tyr-Aeon
        The Cor-Edirr's body is now forming into a more compact mass, that is to say, their chest to waist area are now solid. Some may have formed horns or wings by then, some may not. One can also determine the gender by now, mostly through behavioral differences, although mistakes can sometimes occur due to lack of distinctive genitalia. At this point, they are in their early teens and have developed clearer personality traits as well as more distinctive speech and thought.

        >>> Stage III: Val-Aeon
        Congratulations, your Cor-Edirr is now capable of running around, and generally wreaking havoc, if it hasn't been doing so already before. Legs are formed, and their gender is clearly defined. This stage is the most important time in a Cors' life, as it determines their future roles in the Cor-Edirr society. They can now also breed.

        >>> Stage IV: Sin-Aeon
        Your Cor-Edirr has finally entered its adult stage. By now, they have decided upon a career and made a place in the world for themselves. Their bodies are also slowly morphing according to the orbs they have merged with their bodies, taking on some superficial traits and even rare abilities of the souls consumed.

        >>> Stage IV: Sin-Vigilis
        There is a myth of the Sin-Vigilis Cor-Edirrs, those with god-like abilities destined to not only rule Thareon but all of the dead and the living. So far, any attempt to reach this stage has only resulted in bloody deaths. Nevertheless, it has not stopped some of the more courages or power-hungry Cors to try...


|| certs ||

User Image


        The certs include a circular portrait of your Cor, as well as a logo to this shop. Here is a mini-guide to understanding the rest of the information by using Auphelia's cert as a sample.

        >>> The Number
        The 3 digit number towards the upper-right corner is the Cor's ranking in standing in the List [yes, THE List.] The numbers theoretically go between 1 - 100, though since we only have so many pets, once your Cor grows to level 4 it will be automatically added to the available number after 50. Cors at all other levels will have a 000 as their number.

        >>> The Title
        Beneath your pet's name is a row reserved for their profession - up until lv. 4, it's most likely to remain as 'student' or 'apprentice' [unless you are a healer OR have a customized pet].

        >>> The Stars
        The number of stars indicate the number of soul stones you have obtained [you can also kind of think of them as a level indicator] Blacked out stars indicate special orbs.

        >>> The Code
        The 14 character code towards the bottom is kind of like a SSN for your pet [only it doesn't really earn you any benefits]. The first three characters will be letters indicating the type of your pet [RFL = raffle, AUC = auction, FS1 = Flatsale 1, CUS = custom, etc.] The next three digits is used by the owners to keep track of the pets as they indicate they are the xth pet of this sort [for example, Auphelia is NPC001 while Illuser is NPC002]. The 8 following numbers indicate the date they were 'born'. Player-only events may come to these this code, but otherwise, it's mainly for bookkeeping purposes.

        >>> Future Additions
        This version of the cert will probably not be the last. It's most likely that future information will be added when additional aspects of the world are thrown into play - when the shop's realm expands to include regions around Sanctuary, most likely the certs will either come in different colors of w/ back ground symbols to indicate the clan affiliation of the Cor [right now all Cors are affiliated with the Academy].

            Important note: Rebirth is not a shop for the faint of heart. Or weak of will.
            Also, growth period means time the artists get for drawing the pet AFTER you complete all of the requirements. Which means do NOT start asking where your updated cert is a week after you fill out the growth form.

            RP counts start anew after every growth.

When death claims you...

            || f.a.q. ||


            What are these pets?
            They are called Cor-Edirr. They are the inhabitants of Thareon, a shadow world to Earth. They are called Cors or soul hunters.

            Are they RP required to keep/grow?
            Oh yes.

            Will mine look like a differently coloured version from others'?
            No, only the first stage is in base, and that is coloured differently with different hair styles. The rest are all unique linearts.

            Are the Cor-Edirr in humanoid form, or can they look like anything the artist felt like drawing?
            They can look like anything the artist feels like drawing, but they are generally humanoid in appearance and won't be sprouting a muzzle anytime soon.

            Why did xxxx draw the growth for my pet when yyyy drew the initial stage?
            Because the artists draw the growths based on availability. So if an artist is busy, someone else may take over for them.

            What's the difference between Aeons and Cor-Edirrs?
            The name Cor-Edirr refers to the entire race. The names involving 'aeon' refer to the stage of growth that the Cor is in.

            What does a certed pet look like?
            Right here: x

            Who do I pay?
            Send all gold to the shop mule, Auphelia .

            I can’t afford one. Is there any way to lower the price?
            All prices are fixed.

            Can I pay with items and/or Donation letters and Cash items?
            Yes if it has been agreed with one of the staff. The Item’s lowest price guide value will be deducted from the overall cost. Do not that you can only pay in items for auctions and customs.

            Do you do Pet Trades?
            Please discuss this with one of the staff.

            Where do I post my RP posts?
            All roleplay can be posted in the shop guild. Linked in the head banner.
            In case you missed it, here it is again: click

            Can I buy one on someone else’s behalf?
            Yes, as long as they understand the RP requirements of this shop.

            Can I own more than one pet?
            You are only allowed to own more than one pet if you have been active and has grown your previous pet to at least level 3.

            What do I do if I no longer want my pet?
            You can return it the shop. We do not refund any pets, you may not sell it on yourself.

            How do I get a Custom pet and who will draw it?
            Wait for a slot for a specific artist to open, fill out the custom forms wait for it to be approved, pay and then be patient.

            How fast will my pet grow?
            Depends on the requirements of each stage, how long it took you to fulfill said requirements, and the time allotted to the artists.

            My question isn't here?
            PM it to the mule or ask it in the thread. ;3

            I have a problem with how something is being done, what should I do?
            Please PM your problems with the shop's set up and going's on to the shop's mule. I know it can be frustrating when you don't like something or when you want to know the answer ASAP, but bringing things up in a negative light in shop has a negative impact on the shop's appearance to lurkers and regulars and its just no fun for anyone.

            I want a Healer. How do I get one?
            By being a dedicated thread goer and roleplayer. There will be set requirements at a later time, but in general the Healer class is extraordinarily rare and will only be given to select Cor's who show how exemplary they are.

            Where do I find the information about the Clans?
            Ah, to be honest - we haven't really written anything up on them aside from their names and that they don't really have much to do yet in the Sanctuary which is where most of your RP will take place. We promise to have more official information released soon, though!

            More to come.
