      The Story...

        You experience a moment of disorientation as you shade your eyes against the bright sunlight
        and look around you.

        You're standing on a trodden path, leading through a seemingly endless field of grass that's
        gently swaying in a mild breeze. The sky above you is impossibly blue, with clouds of perfect
        white.

        You have no idea where you are or how you got here, but you can't bring yourself to be alarmed
        -- things seem peaceful enough, and it's a beautiful day. You pick a direction at random and
        start walking. After a few minutes, you hear rustling and catch movement out of the corner of
        your eye, but when you whirl around, there's nothing.

        This repeats a couple of times until finally, you turn around to find yourself facing an animal
        like none you've ever seen before. Bunny ears, horns, a pouch like a kangaroo...
        The strange creature regards you for a moment with a curious expression,
        head cocked to the side, and there is an intelligence in its
        clear eyes that makes you sure that whatever this is, it is definitely not an ordinary animal.

        "Welcome to the Realm of Rohinda," you hear a voice say.

        You look around you, but there is nobody who could've spoken. You look down at the creature
        before you, and you could swear there is an amused glint in his eyes now. It crouches down and
        waves a dainty paw, and before your eyes, a beautiful, exotic flower grows from the dry earth of
        the path. Somehow, you're less surprised than you feel you should be, but this seems right
        somehow.

        The creature picks the flower and holds it out to you. You bend down to accept it, and the moment
        you touch the flower, something happens that you can't quite define. For just a second, your
        thoughts and the thoughts of the being before you are one, and you see images and short scenes
        of other creatures like this one, living peaceful lives in their small tribes.

        When you come back to yourself, you still hold the flower in your hand, but the creature is gone.
        Which is not to say that you are alone, though... At your feet lies a small, softly mewling bundle.
        You crouch down and pick it up gingerly, and it opens big, soulful eyes and gazes at you trustingly.

        And at that moment, you wake up. You experience yet another moment of disorientation as you look
        around your dark bedroom.

        Just a dream, then. But it felt so real... You're inexplicably disappointed, until the small, warm
        weight across your stomach registers and you look down to see the baby creature, curled up on top
        of the blankets.

        Whatever the Realm of Rohinda is, you've brought a part of it with you.

      Roleplay information...

        The Realm of Rohinda is a peaceful, almost paradisiac world that exists in its own sphere of existance,
        linked to the sphere of dreams. It does have its dark sides, as being linked to the sphere of dreams
        means also being linked to the sphere of nightmares... But the creatures living there mostly keep those
        at bay.

        Only a few select humans find their way to Rohinda in their dreams, and even less wake up to find
        themselves the guardians of a Rohindan creature.

        If they take good care of their new friend, they'll eventually discover that the creature serves as
        their guide through the dream world, enabling them to find their way back to the Realm.

        The creatures of Rohinda don't have a name for themselves. They don't have a need for names, as they are
        telepathic beings who identify each other by the mind shape of their souls. When living with humans,
        though, they willingly accept any name they are given.

        The reason why they give some of their newborns into the care of human dream travelers is in part their
        neverending curiousity about live outside of the Realm, and in part that each bond between a human and
        a creature of Rohinda helps to keep the portal between Rohinda and the sphere of dreams open, enabling
        them to travel to other spheres.

        The journey to Rohinda is different for everybody, depending on their dreams. At the heart of Rohinda,
        though, there are always grassy plains under an eternally blue sky.

This species has no baby stage!



Main species :: Angelics

(( no lineart yet ))

Image coming!

Though they are formed by the circumstances they grew up in, like most beings, Angelics have a certain disposition to be mellow, kind-hearted and helpful.



Main species :: Demonics

(( no lineart yet ))

Image coming!

Demonics tend to have a bit of a mean streak, and they're often hot-tempered and self-centered. They aren't necessarily evil, though, and you *can* raise one to be good and nice -- it's just going to take a lot of work.




Angelics and Demonics are never going to be sold in regular flatsales. They can only be obtained through events, auctions or pet trades.


Main species :: Elders

(( no lineart yet ))

Image coming!

Not every pet can become an Elder, as it's not just a matter of age, but also of power, intelligence, wisdom and so on.



Other species :: Elders


User Image




The Elder stage is mostly going to be a reward for very active owners who either participate in roleplay a lot or keep an active journal for their pet for some time.
I might also offer quests or special auctions every now and then.


The Stages

Baby:

At the baby stage, these are much like most babies of any species: sleepy, cuddly and adorable, but also loads of work! They don't have the strenght yet to do more than wobble around on unsteady little legs and otherwise sleep a LOT.

They communicate with each other with mewling sounds, but don't have any means to communicate with humans at this stage.

You can feed them milk and fruit juices, but nothing solid yet!

They don't have any dream magic yet, so they can't help you find the Realm again... You'll either have to find it on your own, or wait until they get older and can guide you.

Child:

Now they can walk -- and run around and jump and bump into things and generally wear you out! Most of them are energetic, curious little souls, bound to get into mischief every single day.

They still communicate with each other through catlike meows, growling, hissing etc, but if you treated them right, they'll start to communicate with you telepathically.

You should start feeding them fruits and vegetables now. They also like fish every now and then. They can stomach candy, but be careful with that, too much sugar is not good for them.

Children already have a pretty good grasp of their dream magic. They can easily guide you to the Realm in your dreams.

Adult:

Most of them calm down some as adults, though curiousity usually remains one of their character traits.

They are highly intelligent, easily as intelligent as a human, so don't make the mistake of treating them like a common pet! Provided you took good care of them, the telepathic bond between them and you should now be very strong and enable you to talk to each other easily.

Their dream magic should be strong enough now to influence your dream world in small ways. (Making it rain lightly, making a flower grow, things like that.)

Elder:

Elders are the oldest, wisest, most powerful of their spezies. In their own culture, Elders are revered and treated with utmost respect, and you should do no less.

Their dream magic is extremely strong. In the dream world, they can make whole forrests grow or wither with enough strenght of will. They can call down a lightning storm, or build a castle within a day.

Using their magic takes a lot out of them, though. The bigger the feat, the more it weakens them. And they need absolute concentration to do the more difficult things.

(( If you own an Elder, please be careful not to god-mode them. Don't make them invincible and all-powerful. ))

    General FAQ
  • How do I get a pet of my own?
    Either wait for a flatsale, auction or raffle, or commission one! Please check the sales post first to see if any custom slots are open.

  • Can I please please have a pet for free?
    There will be events every now and then where you can win free pets, just keep your eye on the news post! Otherwise: sorry, no.

  • Do I need to save to my own server, or will you host it?
    I will host the picture, and it's important that you direct-link, because else your pet will not grow! Once your pet has grown up, however, please save them to your own server!

  • How many pets can I have?
    As many as you want, but only one per sale or auction.

  • Will you do a pet trade?
    Yes! Please check the pet trades post to see if I'm currently looking to trade, and what kind of pets I'm looking for.

    No. Roleplay is in no way required or enforced. Active roleplayers might be rewarded, though...

    Sales & Auctions
  • When is the next flatsale?
    It'll be announced in the news and the sales post. I'll try to hold a flatsale at least every second month, and some other kind of sales event in the month where I don't hold one.

  • Will you reserve?
    Sorry, no. It wouldn't be fair to the people who have been waiting.

    Breeding
  • Can I breed my pet?
    If breeding slots are open: Yes, you can! Check the breeding post for specific instructions! Do me a favour and do NOT roleplay the breeding, though! Keep it PG-13! wink

    Breeding Rules
  • Your pet has to be an adult!
  • Gender doesn't matter - male/male and female/female couples can breed just as easily as female/male couples! Don't ask me how it works, it just does!
  • A pet can only breed four times in their life.
  • Pets cannot breed with their parents, siblings or offspring.


A breeding will usually produce two children. In rare cases, there might be additional offspring or twins/triplets etc!

Breeding costs 12k.

If a spot is available and you either own two adult pets you want to breed or know somebody whose adult pet you want to breed with yours (ask their permission first, please!), PM me with the following information:

Name of first owner:
Name of second owner:
Name of first pet:
Name of second pet:
Name of first child if male:
Name of first child if female:
Name of second child if male:
Name of second child if female:

If the owner of one parent paid the breeding fee in full, both children will go to them (but they can chose to give one to the other owner). If the owner of the parents split the fee between them, each will get one child.

What you can do with your children:

- you can keep them
- you can give them away to a friend
- you can tell me to auction them off for you

If you keep them or give them away, please let me know, so that I know which name to write on the cert.

If you tell me to auction them off, I will start a seperate auction for each child. The minimum bid will be 6k, and that's what you will get at least, so your breeding fee for the child will be covered in any case. If the child sells for more than 12k, you will get 50% of the total winnings.

Pet trades are currently OPEN!

Slot #1: OPEN
Slot #2: CLOSED
Slot #3: CLOSED

If you want to offer me a pet trade and any slots are free, please PM your offer, with a link to your shop and a description of what exactly you'd like to trade (custom for custom, pre-made for pre-made etc.), to this account!

Please don't be disheartened or sad should I say no! It doesn't mean that I don't like your pet, but I'm very busy IRL and so I won't be able to take too many pet trades. For the same reason, I'm really only looking for pets without a RP requirement.

Basically, I like pets with clean lineart and detailed coloring. With rare exceptions, I'm not very interested in anthros, "evil" pets or extremely realistic animal pets. I like my pets cute and fluffy! wink

Here's a list of shops that I would love to own pets of:

*Pet trade wishlist*

* Anubii Temple
* Blessings of Shikoku
* Capracans
* Celustine
* Cradle of Rebirth
* Efui Expedition
* Elderspark
* eoghan slenin
* Gate to Hesperides
* Ichigo no Neko
* Indigos
* Kida
* Kingdom of Lenyia
* KiriKa Temple
* Kura Isle
* Littlest Gaian Petshop
* Nalgae Island
* Numa Numa Land
* On Wings of Myths
* Talaye Meadows
* Tears of Evelos
* The Cait Eibhilin
* The Luminous Woods
* Thendories
* The Pacific Link
* The Pillow Emporium
* Torquaii Alarm Systems, Inc.
* Uni Bonsai
* Windkeepers



If your shop is on the wishlist, you can ask me for a pet trade anytime (NOTE: once the shop is officially open and I have all the lineart), even if all slots are closed!

      This is Edwin. Edwin is the shop mascot, and if you don't follow the rules, you'll make him sad.
      Just look at him... Do you want to make Edwin sad?

      Didn't think so.
