So, What's for Sale?

Hey, glad you asked! R.I.S.E. is an RP-intensive Breedables shop that focuses on Individual characters (obviously). These Individuals go through drastic changes as time progresses-- but instead of jumps in age or changes in physiology (willing or otherwise) how an Individual looks is progressively more determined by society's image of him, and less on actual truth.

How does this happen, you ask-- well, people in shops normally chat about the goings-on of characters in the RP, right? That's what your character's progression is powered by!

As your Individual encounters other people and is seen doing certain things, readers of the RP draw conclusions - or Rumors - about the how, why, and what of him. These eventually build up with your character's popularity until the truth about your character is almost completely forgotten in favor of theories spun by his observers. These can be directly about your Individual's appearance-- how attractive he is, how tall he is, etc.-- or more vague ideas, like a fondness for certain animals or accusations of murder. In the end, larger accomplishments and more influential Rumors stick with your character until...

...he becomes a Living Legend, whether for good reasons or bad.

Around four characters will be available for this sale, but this might change as according to the whims of the staff.

Tell Me More!

Alright, uhh... An Individual progresses through five stages, starting from being an average Joe who blends in the crowd to a Living Legend (or Menace to Society perhaps, depending on what he's famous for). The first stage is nothing but the absolute truth that can be seen from looking at the character: his physical appearance, and what type of person he seems to be. As more Rumors are made, the image of the Individual changes as according to them, with the final stage having almost no roots in truth.

The flatsale price for an Individual is 12,000 gold. If you are one of the winners, send that amount in a trade to this mule.

If something goes wrong and you don't get your character drawn, you will get a full or partial refund. If you don't have 12k on you when it's time to pay up, you can see about a payment plan from the artist drawing your character. However, there might be a delay until the character is fully paid for, depending on the artist's preferences.

Jestari and Mouse Pachinkorelli are the artists for this sale. Samples of their work can be viewed in their respective Deviantart accounts- just click on their names.

Prompts and Entries

Use the entry form below (PLEASE erase the crap in double-parentheses) to write your entry, and when it's all finished, please post it in the thread. You can still chat once the first entries are posted, but we would also like to see the main thread active as well.

There are no "history" or "personality" fields for this, so DO NOT tell us anything about that. With how this shop works, it equates revealing spoilers... and nobody likes spoilers. D8 If we want you to evoke curiosity it would be pretty dumb for us to ask you your Individual's life story.

Flatsale Entry Form

Username: ((Self-explanatory. Who are you?))
Individual's Name: ((Or at least what he calls himself. We don't need to know any last names either, unless the character would like to provide it.))
Individual's Species:: ((Human, Hayim, Raidin, or Unmade? There's info on that in the main thread- and no, you can't have a crossbreed, so don't even ask.))
Individual's Appearance: ((Yeah, what does he or she look like? Feel free to include reference pictures for clothes and props if you want.))
Individual's Demeanor: ((What kind of person does the character seem like? THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU TYPE OUT PERSONALITY; that's only for you to know and us to guess about. Whether it's a single thought like "creepy" or a paragraph or two, what would someone think upon a first glance of your character?))
Anything else?: ((Is there something you have to say or ask about that doesn't cover the other fields, like a fluid gift you're not sure would be alright or interest in being a member of a Guild? Put that here.))

Prompt Response: ((Pick ONE prompt and write an excerpt from your character's life that encompasses that idea.))

Prompts:

Please choose ONE prompt to respond to, and write an excerpt from your character's life that encompasses the idea. Try to use one you believe you can shape in such a way that reading the response incites curiosity in the readers!

What you write does not have to end up being a part of your Individual's history, but we'll have nothing against it if you decide to keep it.

A: The Individual believes that he is destined for greatness or failure. (How does this reflect in what he or she says and does? Is this person obviously disillusioned, or just a giant a*****e?)

B: An unusual gift or problem has a constant effect on the Individual's everyday life. (Does this person seem alright with the constant "burden", or is he miserable about it? Or does he find a way to use it in an advantageous way?)

C: The Individual has gained a certain degree of fame, but then disaster hits- he's been accused of an action or crime that's completely against his nature! (How does he react to this? Are you going to let us know whether the rumor is actually true?)

L: If it weren't for his horse, the Individual wouldn't have spent that year with the Scholar's Guild.

Code of Conduct

Flatsale Rules

1- Don't be a jackass! Don't try and scare people into not entering. Be courteous, and... Just follow all the general rules and ToS.
2- Don't throw a fit if you lose, and don't act high-and-mighty if you win.
3- Try not to polish your entry TOO much. We appreciate that you're trying so hard, but this is supposed to be a sample of your RP skill. If you have to spend two hours fixing the spelling on your entry when you're not going to check your spelling in an RP, then maybe you should go back and work on those things before entering a contest.
4- No, you can't have someone edit your entry for you. Again, you're not going to have people edit your RP posts, so it would be pretty misleading.
5- Try not to show other people your entry before you post it. I know that only about a third of you are going to follow this one, but it's a formality to have this rule down.

FAQ

Can my character's appearance have... This is case-by-case, but be reasonable-- if it's TOS-iffy or blatantly copying someone else, then we probably won't go for it.
Do we pick the artist if we win? Maybe, maybe not. If you are absolutely dead-set on a certain artist, we might listen to you-- otherwise, each artist will probably end up choosing the characters they want to draw the most.
Kay... how about cosplays? Hahahaha... if you think x or y character would be just awesome for this setting, then we're not stopping you to try. Just make sure that it's a GOOD ADAPTATION of the character, and tell us if you're doing this and why (are you just a fan or do you have evil plot ideas?). PLEASE INCLUDE REFPICS IF YOU DO THIS... and the judges all have biases towards and against certain franchises and characters.
I have an idea for a fluid gift, but I'm not sure... Yeah, some of you want to keep exactly what the gift is a secret, and that's fine. Just be sensible in choosing: would it work in RP without constantly having to ask other players for consent? Some gifts like being able to detect lies or a constant fearful presence are really cool as an idea, but it gets tricky to make it convincing in an encounter with another character.
