Concoctables are small, breedable, feedable pets. Each Concoctable is created out of a combination of ingredients that you select, brought to life in our laboratory, and returned to you in a habitat to feed, nurture, and enjoy!

User Image


Since you may choose from an almost endless combination of ingredients, you dictate what your Concoctable will look and act like. However, given the unpredictable nature of the science used to create Concoctables, we can never be sure of exactly what your chosen ingredients will produce. Even mixing the same ingredients twice will not produce the same result (though it will likely be similar). This way, each Concoctable is completely unique!

Once in your possession, it will be up to you to maintain the happiness and health of you Concoctable. However, this will not drain your Gaian bank account. For taking good care of your Concoctable you will be awarded points which can be used interchangeably with Gaia gold in our shop (for further explanation see "Caring for Your Concoctable" on post 6).

So, once again, Concoctables are small, feedable, breedable pets. Each individual Concoctable is unique and yours to feed, nurture, and enjoy!

Rules
1. Follow all of Gaia's forum rules and guidelines
2. No art Theft. Concoctables are the intellectual property of their creator so, using Concoctable in your signature or shop without permission or claiming/implying that they are your own creations is immoral and illegal.
3. No fighting, whining, or begging. The open order slot policy is first come, first serve and the winner of auctions or raffles is not to be debated. It is my intention to get your created Concoctables to you and make updates in a timely fashion... but unfortunate events may occur. In which case whining will not decrease the time it will take for me to update.
4. No spamming. Bumps and chat are welcome. Mindless spam is not.

FAQ
Q: How do I obtain a Concoctable?
A: If a order slot is open, simply fill out and post an order form. Send your trade immediately after you post your order in the forum. Once your Concoctable has been created, it will be shown to you so that you may Choose a suitable environment and name it. Once I have given you your Concoctable complete with its habitat, I will complete the trade. And *poof!* your Concoctable will have been obtained.

Q: May I own more than one Concoctable?
A: Of course! You may purchase as many Concoctables as you would like. And the decision whether to have your Concoctables share a habitat or live separately is up to you.

Q: May I sell my Concoctable or give him as a gift?
A: Under no circumstances may you sell your Concoctable (that would be art theft) but you may give your Concoctable to whoever you wish as long as you perchase a name change certificate (see Shop) so that I may change the name on the habitat and keep track of their future purchases.

Q: What if I don't want/ are unable to take care of my Concoctable anymore?
A: If you are no longer going to care for your Concoctable and can find no one to give it to, notify me and I will put your Concoctable up for adoption.

Q: What if I'm unhappy with how my Concoctable turned out?
A: For a service fee of 500g you may repick your ingredients and a new Concoctable may be developed. You may do this as many times as you wish.

Q: If my Concoctable's Hunger and Happiness meter both reach 0, will my Concoctable die?
A: No. Your Concoctable will never die (though you may deserve it to), but may become very sickly. Your habitat may even shrivle. So while your Concoctable will never completely die on you, its best to take care of it as well as you can.

Q: Oh no! Someone has stolen your art!
A: First, be certain that they have, in fact, stolen my art. Then notify me immediately.


Q: What if I chose an unsuitable habitat for my Concoctable?
A: Other than the obvious negative effects on your Concoctable's happiness, your Concoctable should be fine (see "Caring for Your Concoctable" wink . However, if you wish to change your Concoctable's habitat, you must purchase a change of adress certificate from out shop and indicate your desired new habitat.

Intro
Below each Concoctable's habitat, along with its owner and identification information, is a hunger and happiness meter which allows you to keep track of how your Concoctable is doing. This meter is crucial to keeping your Concoctable content as well as accumulating points which can be used in exchange for Gaia gold in this shop.


Hunger
For every few days that a Concoctable remains unfed, it will loose a bar on its hunger meter. If a Concoctable's hunger meter remains orange or lower, its happiness will also begin to drop. However, food is inexpensive and can be purchased with points. Most foods will also keep your Concoctable fed for several days or even a month. All food is fed to your Concoctable on purchase.

Happiness
A Concoctable's happiness relies on two things: its hunger and the suitability of its environment. If a Concoctable's hunger meter remains orange or lower, it happiness will begin to drop. However, if a Concoctable is placed in an unsuitable environment, its happiness meter will never reach full capacity.

Points
You will be rewarded for keeping your Concoctable happy and healthy. For every day a Concoctable's health and happiness meters are yellow or higher, 3 points will be added to the point counter below the Concoctable's habitat. However, if either happiness or health drop below yellow, no points will be awarded for that day.

Emotes
Emotes let you know how your Concoctable is feeling. Below is a list of the emots you may see along with their meanings.

Choosing Food for Your Concoctable
Some Concoctables will only eat meat. Others are vegetarians. Still others will eat anything you throw their way. Their happiness will increase if you feed them especially suitable food while some Concoctables will refuse to eat certain foods. The key to choosing suitable food for your Concoctable is remembering what ingredients you used to make him and observing the Concoctable itself. If your Concoctable was made with Feline DNA, giving him a fish will increase his happiness as well as his health. However, do not expect a Concoctable made with dragon DNA to chow down on a fruit basket, or a leafy, vegetation resembleing Concoctable to relish a raw steak. Choosing the wrong food for your Concoctable will lead to its annoyance and a waste of your money.
*Note: All food is fed to your Concoctable upon perchase.

Choosing a suitable Habitat for Your Concoctable
The key to choosing a suitable environment for your Concoctable is remembering what ingredients you used to make him, what his personality is, as well as observing the Concoctable itself.

For example, if your Concoctable was not made using sea animal DNA and does not look like it can swim, then it Probably can't.
User Image
Of course, many Concoctables would not mind having some water in their habitat to splash around in, most need at least a little bit of land to rest on.
Conversely, some Concoctables need water to survive. This should be fairly easy to determine if you consider your Concoctables appearance and the ingredients used to make him. Furthermore, being drowned to death would greatly decrease your Concoctable's happiness!

Many Concoctables can survive in almost any environment. However, they will be much more comfortable in some environments than others.
User Image
For example, a leafy Concoctable who's main ingredients were plant and Vegetable DNA is sure to be scared out of its wits if placed near a fiery volcano. burning_eyes

Most Concoctables will be content to live in most environments, so, if you remember what ingredients you used to create your Concoctable and take its appearance and personality into account, choosing a suitable environment should be a piece of cake.
User Image
Fear not! If you accidently choose an unsuitable habitat for your Concoctable, you may purchase a change of adress certificate from the shop.

Choose your Ingredients

You may use as many ingredients as you would like in order to make your Concoctable. One ingredient is included free of charge when you purchase a Concoctable and each additional ingredient costs 50g (or 50 pts).
User Image








User Image

Choose a Color

The dye you choose determines the main coloring of your Concoctable. If the color you desire is not readily available, you may choose a second color which the first will be mixed with to create your desired color (For example, if you choose blue and white dye your Concoctable will have light blue coloring). Each additional color costs 50g (or 50 pts).
User Image









User Image

Choose a Strand of DNA (optional)

If you use DNA when making your Concoctable, the result will be that your Concoctable is similar too or shares traits with the organism from which the DNA came (For example, if you choose canine DNA, your Concoctable may have pointy ears, a tale, and fur). You may use as many different types of DNA as you would like when making your Concoctable, but it is not included in the regular fee. Your first strand of DNA costs 100g (100pts) and each additional strand of DNA you purchase costs 50g (50pts).
User Image









User Image

Choose a Personality Type

You may choose whether your Concoctable's personality leans more towards good or evil, optimism or pessimism. The potions on the left side of the personality ring will cause your Concoctable to be inclined towards evil while potions on the right side of the personality ring will cause your Concoctable to be more inclined towards good. The higher the potion sits on the ring, the more optimistic your Concoctable will tend to be. The lower, the more pessimistic.
Personality does not affect your Concoctable's capacity for happiness. However, it does affect the type of habitat he may prefer.

There has been a breakthrough in the Concoctables laboratory. Concoctables can now be bred! Well, perhaps breeding is not the correct word. Any two "parent" Concoctables may donate their DNA towards the creation of a new baby Concoctable which you may help nurture and watch grow to adulthood.

Breeding Regulations/Helpfull info
Breeding Fee: 3,000g
1. Any two Concoctables may be bred so long as both owners have given consent (of course, if you own two Concoctables, they may be bred together).
2. The Concoctable parents must be of the opposite sex in order to breed.
3. Concoctable babys may be shared but cannot be placed in two different habitats (say, in the habitat of each of the Concoctable parents) at once.
4. When breeding units are available, the title will be highlighted in red
5. Once a baby Concoctable is bred, it must be taken care of differently than an adult Concoctable in order to grow. This can be slightly more expensive than a regular Concoctable. Be sure you can handle the financial strain!
6. While inside the breeding unit, a Concoctable does not need to be fed but no points will be gained.
7. All trade regulations stated in the "Sales info" post apply.

Breeding Your Concoctable
The amount of time it takes to breed two Concoctables depends on the compatability of their genes (ingrediants, dna, and personality). However, all Concoctables can be bred and the eventual result is a baby Concoctable wich is a mixture of its parent's traits.
Below each breeding unit is a monitor which depicts the current stage of the breeding processes as a meter which shows the number of stages to go.
User Image


User Image Stage 1: Checking Compatability. In this stage the compatability of both Concoctables is determined. The amount of time it will take to breed the two Concoctables as well as the eventual result hinges on this stage.

User Image Stage 2: Extracting DNA. In this stage parent A's DNA is being extracted and redied for splicing.

User ImageStage 3: Extracting DNA. In this stage parent B's DNA is being extracted and redied for splicing.

User Image Stage 4: Splicing DNA. The genetic makeup of the baby Concoctable is being constructed. This is the longest stage in the process

User Image Stage 5: Concoctable Completed. A new baby Concoctable has been created and is ready for adoption. A pm will be sent to the preindicated owner which is to recieve the baby Concoctable requesting a name and habitat selection.


Growing Concoctables
When a new Concoctable is first created, it requires care and attention from its owner in order to grow into and adult. The speed of a Concoctable's growth and development depends on three things: An immature Concoctable will not grow if either its happiness or hunger gage is below yellow. An immature Concoctable will grow more quickly if it is placed in a habitat with another Concoctable. Different types of Concoctables may grow at different paces.
Newly bred Concoctables go through three stages of growth, each of which require special attention:
User Image

Baby: A baby Concoctable can only be fed with a bottle of milk or baby food. However, other than that, baby Concoctables are generally content to sleep or play with themselves in their habitats.

Child: A child Concoctable can eat regular food or be fed by a longterm feeder. However, they require toys in their habitat in order to keep them happy. Regardless of the suitability of their habitat or the hunger of the Concoctable, a child Concoctable's happiness will drop if not entertained by a toy.

Adult: Adult Concoctables require no special food or toys in order to keep them happy. See the "Caring for Your Concoctable" post for more information on keeping your adult Concoctable content.
