Welcome to Pomona
.making sweet memories.

The explosive mind of a reckless hobo with the stereo on
as high as it can go and the reclusive, underground slave driver constantly
clicking the refresh button... together, they make fruit people. It's only logical.

{~} Check the drama at the door You have an issue, take it to pms. We don't want to see it.
{~} Don't steal any art
{~} Send all questions or anything else related to Pomona to the mule. This is the easiest way to answer your questions. Umeda does not want to shift through her inbox for what's pomona and what's not and Manasa does not get on often enough.
{~} We reserve the right to say NO. We can refuse to sell to you for any reason that suits our purposes so try to follow rules and be nice (but don't suck up. It's so fake and obvious, it's not even [funny).
{~} Read your own cert... don't ask us any questions about it unless you want to join a faction to get a faction specific cert, or if there is some horrendous blob sprouting from it... cause you can read for yourself who the Pomona is and belongs to.
{~} Follow the TOS
{~} NO WHINING. In any form, whatsoever... Manasa will refuse to do anything for you. Period.
{~} PG-13 is a rule. Language is ok but please try to keep it to a minimum
{~} No chatspeak. Fragments and spelling errors are ok but no chat speak, please
{~} Do not god-mod, twink, etc. Seriously, that's why we give you the ability to have your own.
{~} Owners may not sell their pets, or the offspring of their pets, only give them away. Someone still has to pay that 2k though
{~} We will not PM you for a growth.
{~} Co-owning is not allowed.
{~} You can have an unlimited number of pets. Let's not create a monopoly of pets though, alright?

Mother Spoon and Father Fork were a very lonely couple.

Together they had created planet called Plate on which they
could live but, with no one there, they soon became very lonely.
Grandfather Toaster could never leave the plug of immortality
and Grandmother Cup often had to visit the Electric Ocean
of Regeneration; and so the lonesome two had no one else to talk to.
From their love, they had given birth to the Chopstick twins
....but they, being mischievous little things, ran away to live
on the planet Bowl. .... unfortunately, they aren't part of our story.

So Father Fork and Mother Spoon created a little fruit girl
and gave her a wand, the magical butter knife of life.
For her opposite, a boy named Annwn was created and
given a fork for his tool; the fork of death. The boy took
his tool and adorned it with a giant beast of a potato (which he later ate).
Csilla created little fruit people called "pomonas" and
gave them shapes to call their own, blessing each with a
unique form for them to grow into. The boy, however,
uses his fork to bring a very starchy death to the little
fructose beings. Glucose to cellulose!

And thus the world of Plate became intriguing and
Mother Spoon and Father Fork never had a dull moment
again… that was certain.

Stage 1: What a cute fresh little fruit you've received!
But don't eat it; it's just as much alive as you are and
with a little love will grow into something more.

"Your horse bit me in the butt!" - Tulio, El Dorado

Stage 1.5: This is an OOC stage.
You must submit a form so that we can help your pomona along
to the next stage. please keep in mind when filling out the form,
if you stick something in there deliberately, there is still a chance
that won't come out in your pomona.
If you put "coffee cup" in there, maybe in a quote, something
you see, something you drink, whatever doesn't guarentee that
your pomona will have a cup of coffee. It would have to fit with
everything else. We might even see something completely different.

Stage 2: Your pomona has grown a body!
It might not be the most attractive humanistic plant but
hey, it's like adolescenthood. With all those pimples, who's really
that attractive? (no, your pomona will not have pimples unless
your info points us in that direction)

User Image

(Orpheus and Roland)
Stage 3: Your pomona is now half human, half fruit.
How'd that happen?! Well, now it's time to make the best of it.

Apple, Banana, orange, kiwi, fig, strawberry,
raspberry, cranberry, blueberry, blackberry,
cherry, starfruit, pineapple, pear, mango, apricot,
pear, peach, grape, plum, date, melon, lemon, lime,
nectorine, parsimmion, parmagranite, papaya,
coconut, watermelon, honeydew melon, cantalope,
elderberry, dragon fruit, lychee, durian, mangosteen,
currant, bil-berry, prune, Rambutan, passion fruit,
grapefruit, cherimoya, sausage tree fruit (0_0;; )

Any you feel we're missing?

Yes, they're kind of expensive, but isn't that the point of customs?
Wouldn't want tons of extras around for cheap.

**for the rest of November the slots shall remain closed

Semi-customs
Semi-customs are similar to flatsale pomonas in
ask you questions and there is still that element of mystery
in what you'll get. But we ask you more.
You pick what stage to start at.

:: Pricing :: (We accept donation items at Mid-ZERG)

stage 3 - 100k
growing (stage 1) - 200k

Slots:
1. -closed-
2. -closed-

Customs
Customs look however you want them to with certain limits.
We'll let you know if you cross them and have you change it
so that it fits within the limit. You cannot custom a god.
However, you can custom a cosplay. With cosplays,
if we have an event planned that involves the character
that you want, we have the right to say no and will.

stage 3 - 300k
growing (stage 1) - 500k

Slots:
1. -closed-
2. -closed-

Semi-custom Form
To claim a slot, pm this form filled out to the mule.
You can leave questions blank if you want.

Go to the Guild!

Factions: leaders in parenthasis

Feriin (Orpheus)- these are the "followers" of Annwn, the god of death. They tend to be cold personality traits.

Tlaels (Roland) - these are the "followers" of Csilla, the goddess of life. They tend to have warm personality traits and desire to help people.

Peregrinus - these are essentially rogues, pomonas that have no faction which they belong.

EVENTS IN GUILD!

Chovi forest has now opened! Please join the guild to participate in this RP Game (Battling, Gold, Familiars to be won). No need to own a Pomona, just RP.

TWINS can be won in the Chovi Forest in the guild! Dead line is Dec. 1st!! First to win 5 cherries wins the twins!

- people will be able to create factions in the future. However, such an option is not currently available
-the first two terms are the latin words "inferi" and "stella" scrambled. They mean the same thing as the names of the gods they represent. But "stella" is corny hence why it was scrambled.

Dragons [x]
Written by Enikil: Deep in the galaxy of Table, there was a flying saucer that was commanded by Captain Cornelius Cup. Long side him was Earl T. Baggie the communicator and Kane Sugar, the navigator they traveled through the galaxy in search of others like themselves. Through their travels they had come across many wondrous things, taking note of everything in their computer log named Napie 330KIN.

However one day as they were near Planet Bowl and Asteroid field Cloth, they spotted the most peculiar thing. On the very edge of the Table Galaxy there was a large wad of color. Steering their flying saucer towards it, the opened their hatches and drew it closer.

Once the substance was on their ship, Captain Cup poked it with his long cane and jumped back in surprise as the substance sucked it in.

“ My word… what a crazy thing!” he exclaimed, looking at his crew, who looked a little unnerved.

Soon the what appeared to be gummy goo started to move and take over the poor ship. The crew ran to the bridge and flicked a few switches in panic and shot the strange substance out from the ship and towards the nearest planet.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you think of it, Navigator Sugar was so hyped up from the scare that he had put in the wrong coordinates and sent the gummy junk towards Planet Plate.

Upon entry, some radioactivity had mashed into the gum and then it shattered into gummy pieces upon entry, scattering it across the great planet of Plate. However, once the gum took to the planet it changed shape and turned into… yes you guessed it! Tiny little dragons that we know and Love!

Breeding only applies to those that RP their Pomona.
Technically, these are fruits. Fruits are the babies of plants. Breeding woud be kind of funny, wouldn't it?

Babies that result from breeding are the "forbidden fruits", fruits that were never meant to be.
Your Pomona is already an interpretation of the information you sent us.
The offpring is our interpretation of what offspring the two would have.
So... it might be creepy.

There can be up to 2 children in a breeding.
You increase your chances of having two if your pomona is a twin.

Because plants can self-pollinate, inbreeding can occure (but thanks to us, not with themselves).
However, if the two pomona are related (cousins ...distant cousins, w/e) we won't like you very much.
You'll only have one offspring, it probably won't be pretty,
and there's a chance it'll be born dead.
Now do you really want that?

Breeding will not happen often.
Breeding costs 2k (a little less than half the flatsale price), aren't you lucky?
Also, offspring cannot be co-owned.
We're being really hard on you with breeding but I think we've already made the reasons why quite clear.

The Royal Failure
Victoria CCXII (212th), also know as MILF the viking princess, married Sexton (known by the public as Mil the hobo manwhore) and to secure the royal throne, gave birth to a son, Plan XVII (17th) who Mil kindly calls "Adolph". Sadly for Plan, he came out looking like a mushed pineapple but colored like a raddish. But such is the curse when a lemon and pineapple make babies.

How do I get one?
Pomonas are available through flatsales, raffles, auctions, and numerous other fun events. Keep a weather eye out on the thread, and you'll find a change to get one sooner than you think.
These will be held once a month and flatsale fruits are 5k as of now. Guild members can also win Pomona (usually for free) during special events. It's our advice, that if you want to win free Pomona that you get a guild membership and start to be active.

Are these pets RP required?
No they are not. You can buy one and never show up.
However, there are benefits and events that only apply to RPers (such a breeding and fun games and prizes on the guild).
Also if you leave before your pet is at stage 1.5, it'll never grow (obviously). Rpers are free to RP on the main thread and in the Guild.
But we will never take your pet away from you if RPing isn't your thing.

My Pomona isn't growing! Why?
Pets take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks (at a MINIMUM) to grow but please don't expect it to be exact.
Real life has a way of preventing it from happening the way you would like.
However, if it has been a lot longer than 4 weeks, send a pm to Umeda who will try to solve your problem.

Guardianship
'If I go away... perhaps for a long time, will my Pomona be taken away or given away?' If you're thinking that, don't worry. We'll never take it away. We'd like for you to be active or at least visit the thread, but we'd never take your pet away.

Can I co-own one?
As much as you'd probably like that, that isn't possible. Sorry, but it's easier for us this way.

Can I direct link?
Let's put it this way: if you don't host it on your own server you might find it gone one day.
And we might not have it to give to you.
So, since you've paid gold for it, you might want to host it yourself.

Can my Pomona be homosexual?
Go for it. We have no issues with that.
However the only way they would be able to have offspring with another of their same gender is if it's a custom ...which means gold. Kinda like adoption. So, please think carefully.

Can my Pomona breed?
Yes but it's needs more in depth explaining.
I would say go take a look at the breeding post.

If I get a custom, how much control do I have over what it looks like?
Well, there are the semi-customs where you are
asked the same questions as in a flatsale but with a few more added.
This still leaves the element of surprise and they can be any stage.
Customs are where you tell us "I want it to look like this".
Those only come in stage 3 and look exactly how you want them to.

How do I get a cosplay?
Pomona events will be held (raffles or auctions) for those in cosplays. You can custom a cosplay too (we may turn you down).

Can my Pomona start a faction?
At the moment, no.
However, later in time, we might allow that to happen.

Can I guest-color or apply to become staff?
No, sorry.

How many can I own?
No limit but let's try not to create a monopoly, ok?

Do you accept pet trades?
The only staff member interested is Umeda but Umeda is really picky,
only wanting pets from a handful of shops. Do you really want to ask?

Do you take bribes?
Sadly, yes we do.

Do you accept items in place of gold?
Yes, we do.
The prices are based off of the tektek prices.
Manasa_dong is willing to snip prices, or give twins,
if certain items on his wishlist are offered <_<;; such a item whore... *sigh*

Manasa_dong: lineartist, colorist, line art editor, Chovi Forest Moderator, coowner
Dr Umeda: inventer of ideas, thread manager, certist, colorist (familiars only), coowner

Manasa is

fighting combustion, trying to get enough motivation to do a good set of banners and madly scribbling on open canvas. Such is the curse of a perfectionist.

Bribes (open)
Items on wishlist
These are quite expensive >>;; ...like the nitemare scarf/koko kitty
Also, if you have any items NOT on the wishlist, I might be interested... you never know. I don't bite.

What you get for bribes from Manasa? A Pomona. A familiar of legendary status and 1000 Gold Muni in Chovi Forest. Cool. Right?

Ummy is

thinking up awesome ideas for growings
scheming for future events/flatsales

Bribes (pm Dr Umeda if you have an offer wink )
These are ...well... pets surprised
~wishlist~
Kentauroi
Shadows of Africa
Aiko
Soquili
ExLibris (sp?)
Incantation of the Spirit

For anything on this wishlist? My slots are always open. (Yes, manasa obviously makes them. Manasa has given me the power over him to make him make them for one of those on my pet trade list) You get anything you want for a pet trade.

In case you're confused, a little review on what a bribe gets you. A bribe will allow you to receive a full custom. If you'd rather the semi-custom, that's perfectly fine too. So you say what you want and you get it.
