Dracojin is under construction! Be prepared for things shuffling around!

Ever get lost in the woods? I'm afraid you already have, traveler. But since you're lost, why don't you stay with us for a while? There are many wondrous things in these woods and they may someday be yours. You never know what you find lurking in a magic forest...

On the behalf of myself and the creatures contained within, welcome to Dracojin

1. Do not bring drama into this shop. For any reason.
2. Art is copyright to the respective artists. DO NOT alter any shop graphics without my permission!
3. I will never take away your pets unless you ask me to. But...
4. If you get graylisted you are prohibited from getting new pets for as long as you're on the graylist. Blacklisted= no more pets ever.
5. There is no limit on the number of pets you can own
6. Do not advertise without permission except for requests for affiliation.
7. Do not beg here. Begging/whining for pets is highly discouraged.
8. If RPing, don't let me catch you god-modding. That's also highly discouraged.
9. Please be friendly and courteous to staff and non-staff alike on this thread.
10. Don't nag me. I get stressed out easily...
11. All sales are final. You can give your dracojin away to a friend FOR FREE or give it back to the shop FOR FREE.
12. Reserved for when I need more rules...

Can I have one for free?
~Sometimes yes, but if you ask for one when there isn't a special event going on the answer will almost always be no.

Then how do I get one?
~You can buy a dracojin in a flat sale, get one from a breeding, win a raffle, do a contest...

Are they roleplay required?
~Absolutely not! RP is encouraged and rewarded but not required at all!

How do I breed my dracojin? And how many babies will it have?
~If breeding slots are open then you can submit your dracojin for breeding. Dracojin can breed male-female, male-male, and female-female. Sherra herself isn't sure how they do it and assumes it is some strange sort of magic. They will have anywhere from 1-6 eggs depending on how much they're RPed.

What do I do with the babies?
~Each owner can keep one baby unless the number is five or higher. The remaining eggs can be given away to buddies, given to Sherra to distribute, or given to Sherra to sell for 50% profits.

Who exactly is this Sherra?
~Sherra is the official shop NPC. She and her soulbond, the golden dragon Delith, are the ones you want to be listening to. She knows the most about dracojin and tries to make sure things run smoothly.

Where is this all taking place?
~This is taking place in the magical forest that has been in Sherra's family for generations. More information on it can be found in the World section.

Who can I PM with questions/comments/concerns?
~PMing the shop mule is encouraged. PMing Roniel (make sure it's Roniel Revolution) is allowed if it's urgent, but discouraged. Posting questions in the thread is also allowed.

Can I direct link?
~Yes! In fact, if you want to see your pet growing then you'd better direct link!

Sherra wasn’t surprised when her grandfather died. This was the fifth time in the past two years. He was a powerful wizard and, as such, explosions and freak manticore attacks seemed to drawn to him. She was surprised, however, that he seemed to mean it this time, or at least her relatives did. Their glee at burying her grandfather had been a bit unsettling and left Sherra wondering what they would do to her if she suffered an untimely death. Her soulbond, a golden dragon named Delith, assured her that it wasn’t likely. Still, Sherra had to wonder.

She didn’t wonder at that so much as she wondered what she was going to do with many of her grandfather’s more “interesting” possessions. There were rooms full of rolled up magic carpets that would either take you to your true love or dump you into a volcano. There was the gigantic rock in his living room labeled with “Don’t move. Danger- Apocalypse.” Most of those she gave away to local magicians or left as they were. She was almost finished with clearing the house when she discovered a staircase hidden behind a statue of a three-eyed rat. He had a basement.

She walked down the stairs hoping that it was a wine cellar but knowing she was probably wrong. Wizards were legendary for their underground laboratories where they performed their most interesting -and dangerous- experiments. If her grandfather had kept the poison-spitting teapots upstairs, what was going to be down here? No amounts of nervous imagining could have prepared her for what she found.

Eggs. Shelves of eggs. Rows of shelves of eggs. It was like an underground stockpile in case he needed to make omelets for an army. A quick look at their iridescent and multi-colored shells was enough to prove that they were magical. They would need care and supervision and she had the family chunk of a magical forest to watch over. Where was she going to find the time to-

She looked again at the first box of eggs. Ever since the goblins had moved to the big city her bit of forest had been remarkably dull. Maybe the introduction of a new species would liven things up a bit. If the first few that hatched ran amok she could hire some magical monster specialists to remove them and the rest of the eggs, but if they didn’t... they might liven up a job that she had gotten more than a little bored of over the years.

That day when she saddled up Delith to return to their forest she had a strange looking box, the first of many, tucked under her arm. It was then that she spied something on it, the curling handwriting of her grandfather. Dracojin, a name that called to mind flickering flames and smooth scales. Whatever these dracojin were, she had a feeling that she was going to be involved with them for a long time...

The Dracojin

Stages

Egg
~The dracojin egg is warm and smooth. It can incubate just about anywhere though heat seems to make it hatch faster. Dracojin eggs are tough but not immune to breaking and should be kept safe from falls and predators.

Hatchling
~The dracojin has now emerged (or is in the process of emerging) and wants to explore the world around it. Hatchlings are very curious and benefit from the watchful eye of a parent or an older dracojin. Any powers that they have either are not showing yet or are very weak.

Adult
~ Hatchling stage safely over, the dracojin adult is finally at it's full size and power. Now they can look for a mate, fight for territory, wander the forest, or just enjoy their new stature.

Information

Size
~ Dracojin range from 6-10 feet long, about the size of a komodo dragon. Much of this size is tail, however, and they are only about 2-3 feet tall.

Powers
~ Dracojin have shown the ability to breathe fire. While it isn't enough to create an inferno, it is a formidable weapon for those who are unprepared for it. A dracojin will overheat if they breathe fire too quickly in a dry and warm environment. The dracojin themselves are resistant to all types of fire but can still be hurt by a concentrated blast.

Unless specially noted, dracojin have no other magical powers.

Intelligence
~ Dracojin are (or like to think they are) as intelligent as your average human and display the same range of intellects. They can speak amongst themselves in their own hissing language and pick up other languages very quickly. Most pick up how to speak with humans fairly quickly.

Abilities
~ Climbing and swimming are both quite natural to a dracojin. They use their long tail as a paddle in the water and their claws are adept at finding places to hold into tree bark. They walk at the same pace as humans do and can dash in quick bursts of speed to catch their prey/buddy.

Eating habits
~ Dracojin enjoy eating insects and whatever small animals they can catch, usually things like birds and squirrels. A larger and more experienced dracojin can bring down even larger prey and the most clever can bring down a big animal like a deer. Some enjoy cooking their meals with their flames while others eat raw. They suplement their diet with vegetation and fruits though few forsake meat alltogether.

Roleplay Information and Guidelines

~Roleplay is encouraged for all dracojin though in no way is required.
~When roleplay is going on, out of character remarks should be kept within ((parentheses )). This goes for the people that aren't roleplaying, too.
~Frequent roleplay will get rewarded. A roleplayed breeding will have more eggs than one that hasn't been roleplayed. Later there may be items or an elder stage that can be gotten through roleplaying.
~ The roleplays themselves are quite welcome on this thread. There may be a guild with space for roleplay some day but until then... roleplay here.
~Please only roleplay your dracojin here unless you have prior permission from me to roleplay a species from a different shop. PM me if you want to do this.
~If you don't have a dracojin or want to add some flavor to your roleplay you can create a human/elven/whatever OC to roleplay in the forest. Please run your OC ideas past me so I can tell you if they fit in with the world that Dracojin is set in.
~Do not god-mod. I cannot stress this enough. If you god-mod then, depending on the severity and how often you do it, I may ask you to stop or even graylist you if I feel you're pushing the limits.
~Keep arguments in roleplay in roleplay and keep arguments out of roleplay out. No one should be angry at each other for something their character did. I enjoy playing obnoxious/evil characters and other people should too without fear of grudges.
~RP must be kept within the ToS. No rated R dracojin mating scenes, please...
~Your dracojin should stay mostly in Sherra's forest. If they stay too long over the river or past the border bad stuff might happen to them...
~For info on the setting, look below! For information on the dracojin, look above! Still have questions? Ask me!

The world for most dracojin doesn't extend beyond the boundaries of Sherra's chunk of forest. The official name of the larger is the Laiquatorene Forest, a mouthful of a name provided by the elves millenia ago. Sherra usually calls it "her forest" or "her little bit of th'Lai." Contrary to her humble naming of it, Sherra's territory is far from little. It stretches out over a few small rivers and lakes and even a small mountain that so used to be inhabited by goblins.

It's a temperate forest, snowy in the winter and hot in the summer. Sherra likes to call it an enchanted forest but the dracojin are the most magical creatures currently living there. A dragon or a flock of griffons will occasionally pass through but usually don't stick around.

Sherra has advised the dracojin not to go over the huge and swift river that is the border between her territory and the wild lands beyond. The forest over the river is darker and has more snarly monsters than Sherra's nice bit of land. She similarily advises dracojin not to leave the forest on the other side towards the settled lands. The farmers that live between Sherra's forest and the city don't take kindly to strange animals they think might damage their crops or livestock.

What's the world like beyond even that? Full of people, magic, and all the troubles that come with. The description of the world will expand if the dracojin journey further into it.

Flatsales

Previews

FS OVER!

Flatsales are one of the more common ways to get a dracojin. I will announce a flat sale time about a week in advance and list the time in EST (Eastern Standard Time for the United States).

Flatsale Rules

~ The payment (5k) is due 24 hours within winnning a pet unless you get permission to be late.
~ Proxying is allowed but you may not proxy for someone else and post for yourself at the same time.
~ Only one proxy per person is allowed.
~ If you are proxying, post clearly who you are proxying for when you claim the pet.
~ After winning a pet, fill out the form and PM it to the shop mule.
~ If there is a false start the FS will be discounted and done again.
~ Don't be a sore loser if you don't get a pet. There's always a next time!

Have a b/c shop and want to do a pet trade with me? Great! I'm not terribly picky and if spots are open I'll accept whoever wants to! I will only do an equal pet trade, however. If your request is complicated then I expect you to color me a complicated pet in return. If you want a cosplay then I get a cosplay in return. I'll sometimes trade a pet for art if I like your style.

The first contest for this shop is... Dress the shop mule!

The mule is a personification of Sherra, the shop NPC. She likes the purple wrap but is afraid that it'll fly off when she's riding dragonback. She wants something a little more functional. She's a dragonknight but only decks herself out in full armor for special occasions.

So... design Sherra a new outfit! Keep in mind that she's not going to get magical cosmetic surgery. Please keep her eye shape and skin color the same. She also is quite fond of her black braid so doesn't want to change that. Other than that, she's open for anything!

~Entering the contest is free! You may enter up to two times!
~The winner will get a free custom
~ Please PM entries. You may also post in the thread but must PM also.
~This contest will end on June 14th
~ Please submit a list of items used along with your entry
~ Keep the combined price of the avatar 70k and under

Current Entrants:
Blade (x2)
