NEWSFLASH! We have a winner to our first event!

Kotatsu-chan

Dear Dumpling Chef-

I love you. You’re the best thing that happened to me since sliced bread. Ever since I saw your outdoor stand in that busy street, I knew it was a match made in deep-fried heaven. Every time I go downtown I long for dumplings. I can smell them from two streets down. But I must resist. The stars and my bathroom scale say our love was not meant to be, and as I fight cholesterol and constellations I must satisfy myself by just smelling the air near your booth. It drives me crazy.

As I sniff the aromas around you, I think how wonderful it is that every day you’re out here, rain of shine, doing your thing. Does anyone fry dumplings so diligently? Has anyone failed the health inspector’s inspection more often? These questions are what I think as I longingly circle your stall. But I don’t mind as I see the health inspector once again sadly shaking his head. The small insects add protein.

You see, these things make me love you. Your supply of dumplings, the health inspections, the diligence, the extraordinary amount of grease in every single dumpling you lovingly craft, and most of all, the taste of a tongue-burningly hot fresh dumpling. I love you, Diligent Dumpling Chef. So even though my passion for your dumplings is forbidden by the heavens and several doctors and fitness instructors, please keep on cooking.

-Your affectionate Fried-Food Aficionado

What are the origins of the shooting star? Why are constellations disappearing from our beautiful night? What exactly IS our night composed of?

Thread Rules:
1. Follow Gaia ToS. OR ELSE.
2. Be courteous to everyone in the thread. Seriously.
3. Don't beg. If everyone else got their constellation by paying, I don't think you should get yours free or discounted.
4. Leave the drama at the door. OUTSIDE this thread.
5. Co-owning is not allowed, for now.
6. Don't pester owners to give/share their constellation. That's just mean. o_0
7. Owners may not sell their constellation to other people. Consult Lumin-chan, Shimarisu, or Flamefire123 if you would like to give your constellation to another.
8. Don't complain. We have a reason for doing what we do.
9. DON'T STEAL! EVER! OR WE REPORT YOU! THIS IS YOUR WARNING!

Auction Rules:
1. Don't retract bids. crying
2. Minimum increment is 1K. (AKA, if someone bids 10K, you can bid 11K or more, whatever you want. But no 10.001K (10001g) or stuff like that, cause that's cheaaap.
3. Snipe Guard: If someone bids within fifteen minutes of the auction end time, the end time is extended another thirty minutes to prevent snipers.
4. We accept pure gold, donation items, event items, and uncommons/rares at lowest marketplace price, and commons (stuff you can buy at the NPC's stores) that are over 10K.
5. Good luck!

RP Rules:
1. At least post once a month in the guild. If you don't, you'd better have a good reason.
2. Please have good grammar and capitalization! You don't have to be perfect, but no 1337speak or "LOL R U GIV ME PET PLZ LOLOLOLOLOL!" Just... don't.
3. RPs are in third person narrative.
4. RPs are written like novels. (i.e. The duck splashed in the water. "Quack!" it screeched.) NO chat-RP language! (i.e. Quack! *duck splashes in water*)
5. Godmodding is bad! No controlling other characters that are not your own, or using OOC (Out of Character, aka things your characters do not know) information in your writing.
6. Your post should have a point. Don’t just say “and then so and so did nothing." Nice try, but no.
7. Consult Lumin-chan, Shimarisu, or Flamefire123 with any disputes.

Three hundred years ago, an astronomer from Deskira named Neais discovered a magic curse in a dusty spellbook to send stars shooting down from the glimmering sky. After rejecting the curse for a while (after all, astronomers, like all scientists, require proof of the mechanics...) but when gazing at the stars one night and observed what he thought to be the most spectacular object in the universe- a shooting star. Thirsty for more of this beautiful sight, he pulled out the spellbook and uttered a constant stream of syllables. Stars flew down from the sky like shining rockets returning home.

The sight was tragically mesmerizing- A pure white streak across the sky, but the death of a shimmering candle in the heavens. Yes, after a star fell from the sky, it dissolved away. Neais realized what a horrible thing he had done- stars here and there were missing, never to return, but it felt like a his spell devoured a chunk of the universe. He knew he was the cause.... and he decided to stop the shooting stars dead on their tracks. After feeding the spellbook to his fireplace, he burned down his home on the top of the hill and took his own life, and all remaining traces of his knowledge.

The stars ceased falling, and shooting stars became a legend. However, the magic still resided in the sky. The citizens of Deskira climbed the hill to watch the remaining stars, pointing out shapes to represent animals, mythological creatures, and objects found in the real world. These shapes were called constellations. They placed a dome-shaped shrine on the hill, carving dots representing stars onto the dome, connecting them, and writing the constellations' names beside the lines. However, they did not realize that this was built upon the spellbook's ashes. The curse seeped into the dome, and suddenly, whole constellations began falling.

As constellations were groups of stars molded into forms, they grew into physical forms with the gift of thought. The constellations realized that they had to stop all the stars from falling. This idea was embedded deep into each child, so they would remember it as they matured. So as the constellations fell from the night sky, they directed themselves to Deskira to find the source of the problem.

You are a citizen of Deskira of the modern age. On a visit to the hill, you find a constellation disappear from the sky, and before you stands a child.

Professor Rua E. Blances:

-Age: 25
-Likes: Astronomy, clear nights, baked potatoes.
-Dislikes: Medicine, cold weather, clouds.

The quiet, expressionless guardian of the shrine, Professor Rua spends most of her time there, hardly interacting with other citizens of Deskira. She is an astronomer, and pieces together Neais' work from 300 years ago, obsessing over both her jobs. People see her as aloof and antisocial.

Highly susceptible to cold, she wears her shawl everywhere. She is very sickly, but she still attends her job every day because of her love of the stars.

Constellation in the Sky: You see a constellation in the sky while visiting the hill.

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

Child: The constellation falls from the sky and takes a human form of a child, with a few features that resemble the constellation's origin. This child is new to the world, and to life itself, so you must guide him/her through childhood, while discovering the mystery of the his/her strange attributes.

Teenager: The child matures into a teenager, molding into a distinct personality. The strange features still remain, or even grow more prominent in some cases. The teenager begins to recognize his/her mission.

Adult: The constellation features become more prominent, and he/she realizes the mission of bringing the stars back to the sky. He/she finds more feelings towards the guardian and the town of Deskira.

Spirit: The constellation returns to the sky to fill night with stars again, making the night sky more complete. However, he/she leaves behind a spirit form, which becomes your guardian...

Guest artist hiring is currently closed.

So if you want a Skyborn pet and don't want to pay/can't pay, the only way you can get one free is to be a guest artist.

Guest artists establish an auction for a Skyborn pet, whether it is custom or pre-drawn. This must be the guest artist's own work! You'll get 90% of the money from the auction, and you have a choice of drawing yourself a Skyborn or asking one of our full-time artists to draw you one (in this case, you'll only get 65% of the money from your auction.)

If you are chosen for being a guest artist, you will draw the child, teenager, and adult stage. We'll take care of the rest. ^_^

Keep in mind that we're really picky though. Don't feel bad if you're rejected for being a guest artist. cry

Here's the form. Please PM it to Skyborn- Don't post it in this thread!

[b]Username:[/b] -----
[b]Samples of your artwork:[/b] -----
[b]Which constellation would you like to auction? (Or would you rather let the winner of the auction choose?[/b] -----
[b]Which constellation do you want?[/b] -----
[b]How active on Gaia are you?[/b] -----
[b]How long approximately would it take you to finish these pieces of artwork?[/b] -----
[b]A little bit about yourself:[/b] -----

Q: How do I get a pet?
A: You can get a pet by buying one in flatsales, winning an auction, or participating in certain events. You can also get one by signing up to be a guest artist, if we are hiring a guest artist at the time.

Q: Do I HAVE to RP? I don't have time, and....
A: This an RP intensive concept. If you don't have time to even poke your journal once a month, this isn't the pet for you. However, if you have a legitimate reason, then you're exempt for a bit.

Q: Um.... what about customs?
A: We don't have customs yet. They'll be up later, for sure. ^_^

Q: Can you do pet trades?
A: We do, but we're really, really, really picky. PM the artist you want a pet from with the link to your shop and what you're offering. We also accept art commissions. XP

Q: So.... can I bribe you?
A: Yep. Just PM the artist you want a pet from.

Q: Can I have one for free?
A: NO.

Q: What about discounted...?
A: NOWAI. Other people have paid for theirs in full, so it's not fair to them if you get yours free/discounted.

Q: Plz?
A: *bashes you on the head with a giant mallet*

Q: Can I bring my other pets into the RP?
A: Only if it's all right with the other pets' managers.

Q: Can I own more than one Skyborn pet?
A: You can only get one special (i.e. Zodiac pet, and other exclusive specials) but can get as many non-specials as you want. However, you may only own up to three total, maximum, regardless of the circumstances.

Flamefire123: For being our biggest help in the interest thread and just being plain amazing!
Marion-san: For being one of the nicest people I've met on Gaia! She's a very generous, selfless person and deserves several cookies!
