Welcome to Gaia! ::

[align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/event.jpg[/img][/align] [color=green][b]12/14:[/b][/color] [b]Festive Cactoid Raffle![/b] This raffle is for three separate Festive Cactoid pots: [img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/raffle.jpg[/img] [img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/raffle2.jpg[/img] [img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/raffle3.jpg[/img] The first pot is a pre-colored special WTF-brand cactoid, colored in a way that's... hm... not exactly in season? o_O But it's still quite adorable, and our first cactoid with a non-green color scheme! The other two pots are basic cactoids, and will be colored in shades of green only, with the winner's choice of basic markings and preference of which kind of greens they'd like. All the cactoids are holiday minis, meaning they have two stages - pot and adult - and are not breedable. They also all come with a choice of holiday flower: holly, poinsetta, or none.

[align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/within.jpg[/img] [color=green][i]This is the Wood. You humes may know it as Golmore Jungle, but to we viera, She bears a different name. We dwell under Her branches, and live our lives governed by Her Word. Everything about a viera's very existence is meant to circle through the leaves and the breath of the Wood. Some viera, driven by I know not what, leave the Wood for the changing and violent world of the humes and other races of Ivalice. I, Kjrn... I am curious, I hunger... but I am not so brave. I listen to the tales of fair far-off Rabanastre, and the bright sky-city of Bhujerba, even the lofty dwellings of Archades. I have them from every traveler who ventures into the Wood. But no, I am not so brave, nor so foolish. Not yet. Yet still, I am more open to humes than most of my people. Those who seek entry into Eruyt Village are turned away, but I still lurk along the edges of the Wood, always under Her shadow, to see those who enter. Those who will be forced away by our magic, in the end. Perhaps some kinship is possible between our worlds. The elders do not know this. But I speak with the forest creatures, and the humes, bangaa, seeq, and nou mou who come below the branches. And I send those who would go, the little emissaries of the Wood, out into the world. Some of the travelers are confused at my offerings, at the creatures that gather - they're looking for treasure, they say, not animals. I say they are foolish. Here is the bounty of the Wood, the treasures of Ivalice. What of you, traveler? Will you treat with me?

[align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/cockatrices.jpg[/img] [color=green]Such strange, clucking beasts... no, goodness no, they aren't chocobos! These, traveller, are cockatrices - fearsome beasts in the wild, but these are quite tame. You see, one day a cockatrice from the Giza Plains dropped by for a visit, heavy with egg... and so I came to obtain my own small flock. Yes, [i]yes[/i], they are perfectly tame, I assure you! Raise them from the egg, and see for yourself! They may be rambunctious, but raise the wee chickatrice up into a cockatrice, and they will be your loyal defenders.[/color][/align] [growth stages] Cockatrices have three stages: egg, chickatrice, and adult cockatrice. They may breed, hatching small clutches of eggs. [more information] [the feather of the flock] [align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/line.jpg[/img][/align]

[align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/moogles.jpg[/img] [color=green]Ah, the moogles - bright stars of Ivalice they are, one of the most clever of races! Sadly, they are small, and even worse, cute - so they are often maligned by those who don't know their skill as craftsmoogles. Why, moogles built most of the great sky-city of Bhujerba, I hear! These moogles, mind, are not [i]pets[/i]. Though they are small in size, they are fully grown and can speak and act as well - or better! - than any hume. They are also excellent for those needing a bit of assistance with their menageries, or in any other aspect of their lives. With a bit of gil, you can easily hire a bold young moogle![/color][/align] [b]There are two basic types of moogles: [/b] [b]Craftsmoogles;[/b] those moogles inclined towards skill and hard work, eager to be hired and to work well as part of their employer's family. The vast majority of moogles are this type. [b]Moogle-Mimics;[/b] a strain of moogles a bit odd in the head, perhaps from an overdose of Mist? Needless to say, they aren't quite right - and consequently believe themselves to be well-known humes and other characters, down to their names, actions, and dress! What do they call it... [i]cosplay[/i]? [examples] Moogles have one stage only; they cannot breed at this time. [align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/line.jpg[/img][/align]

[align=center][img]http://gaia.sorayume.net/ivalice/customs.jpg[/img] [color=green]Ah, but none of the current creatures satisfy your exotic tastes? Not to worry. For an increased sum, we can hunt for creatures to match your exact specifications. There isn't much that can't be found in the Woods, after all. There are a limitless variety of colours and patterns to be found. Alas, for those of you who are fond of dressing your pets up, I fear our usual animals are not for you. Perhaps a moogle, already fond of clothing, is more to your tastes? We are more than willing to run an advertisement to locate a moogle whose fashion sense meets with your approval, or even a curious Mimic-Moogle for those desiring something more elaborate. Let us see what our Hunters are currently doing, shall we?[/color][/align] [b]Customs can be obtained for all creatures: [/b] - Dreamhare; rank one (two-feathers) - Dreamhare; rank two (four-feathers) - Dreamhare; rank three (six-feathers) - Cockatrice - Cactoid - Cactoid; flowering - Moogle; basic craftsmoogle, no clothing - Moogle; basic craftsmoogle, clothed - Mimic-Moogle; cosplay Note that only Mimic-Moogles will cosplay. In IC-terms, the Mimic-Moogles are a little nutters in the head; they actually believe they're the characters they're dressed up as, to the extent of answering to the same name and cultivating similar personalities and mannerisms. They are tolerated (usually) in a friendly fashion by those around them, regarded as an odd curiosity that needs to be watched a bit closer than most. Mimic-Moogles can be made to cosplay characters from any canon, not just Final Fantasy; however, be advised that they remain moogles at heart and will always bear the common moogle features underneath their clothes. Mimic-Moogles are also limited by the world they inhabit - they will not come with any accessories that exceed the current level of technology available in Ivalice. [b]Reserved Mimic-Moogle Concepts:[/b] - Any major characters from the games pertaining to Ivalice: Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy XII. - Balthier and Larsa from FFXII are reserved for Sosiqui and kalindara, respectively.
