You have somehow gotten to the pet store and adoption center section of Barton Town, and are looking around at all the bright signs and colorful pets. Somehow, your eye is caught by a smaller brownstone building with a wooden sign hanging out in front that said in fancy lettering The Anime Cosplay Children Adoption Center. Deciding that since you have nothing better to be doing, you push open the old oak door and enter. The interior is clean and cheery, despite the ramshackle appearance of the outside of the building. You are greeted by a young woman with messy blue-black hair, slitted yellow eyes, and... fox ears?! She smiles and begins to speak.

"Welcome to the ACCAC! I'm Korini, call me Ko if that's too long. Here you can adopt a child straight from another reality, but you have to prove you're someone who can do it. Oh, read this to figure out how it started." She hands you a piece of paper covered in small, neat, and dense writing, and you begin reading.

Our Story

It began on a clear night, one of a new moon and the perfect time to see the stars unhindered. Watching said constellations was myself, Korini, the kitsune. Lying on my back on the roof of my apartment building, I watched one particularly bright falling star streak across the sky, only to hear a voice.
"Is it comforting, to watch the stars and know that somewhere, someone is doing the same?" The voice was cracked and reedy, from the throat of an old woman who had appeared behind me, her figure wrapped in a deep purplish-blue cloak, which seemed to be cut from the sky above us itself. Sitting up and turning around, I was not very gracious at first, I am sorry to say.
"Lady, this is private property. Unless you have business here, I'm going to have to tell the landlady." I said snippishly. The old woman chuckled, making the folds of her cloak ripple.
"Look to the stars. The wandering souls seek guardians." Was all she said, and I looked up, to see a single star split into many and fall to earth, each one descending in a different location. When I glanced back to the old woman, she had vanished. I am serious, she simply disappeared. In her place was a cloth the color of that volumnous robe she had been wearing wrapped around a little medallion in the shape of a thundercloud with a bolt of lightning emerging from it.
I took in the little symbol, reading on the ancient parchment also with the cloud that the spirits of many beings had come to this world in the form of mere objects, only transforming to what they truly were after another creature had shown them love. After falling over with shock, I decided that I douldn't possibly seek out and look after so many children. I needed some assistance.
And so, special Gaians have been selected by these entities, with a little help from we here at the ACCAC, to watch over them, and help them grow. It has become my duty to unite them in peace, and I have a feeling it will not be a simple task.


The ACC Adoption Center is currently: Opening its custom slots. If you have the gold and the time, go ahead!

1. Be polite. You'll have a better chance of becoming an owner.
2. No whining because you didn't get your favorite character in the last flatsale. Be patient, there will be others.
3. Please do not type in chatspeak. You're an intelligent person, show it!
4. Please keep all posts PG-15 or less (no posts unsuitable for audiences younger than 15). Any such posts will be deleted and you will be black listed.
5. No god-moding. We all know why.
6. DO NOT PM THE STAFF. If you have a question or would like to try to adopt a child, please post it in the thread. Any people who PM will be blacklisted for not reading the rules.
7. NO ART/IDEA THEFT! If I catch anyone doing something like that, I'll blacklist them in a heartbeat and get a mod on their sorry a** domokun .
8. Don't drag in RL problems to get others to feel sorry for you. If you're a regular and have bad news, I understand, but don't deliberately drag us down with you stare .

I made some rules for specifically owners to follow.
Owner's Rules:
1. You must post in your diary thread or RP with the other guardians in this thread or an official RP thread at least once every five days unless you have notified me you are on hiatus. If you do not have the time in your typical weekly/daily schedule to do so, this is not an adoption center for you.
2. You may only own one child (or one twin set). Don't get greedy, since each one is completely unique.
3. MOST IMPORTANT! You must treat your child with love and respect. Any inappropriate behavior will force me to confiscate your child and you will be blacklisted.
4. PLEASE direct link. If you save the image on your own server, your child wil not grow.
5. All the regular rules listed above the owner's rules.

Please, PLEASE follow these rules. It will make everyone's life easier.

Q: Hey, I've seen these people before! You're stealing!
A: We are not stealing! We have a disclaimer, read it before you start to accuse us.

Q: OMG!!Can I liek have one!!!111eleven
A: Most certainly not if you type like that all the time. Learn to spell, then we'll talk.

Q: Okay, fine. What is this all about?
A: You have the chance to adopt and raise your favorite anime character, right from this adoption center. It's up to you to bring them up right and help them reach their full potential.

Q: "Bring them up right"?!?
A: Yes.

Q: HOW?!?
A: You will have a special diary thread posted and set up for you and your child. The more you post, the faster your child will grow and change.

Q: I want to adopt! May I?
A: Thank you for expressing interest, but unless there is an announcement on the first post and in the title, there are no children up for adoption. If you pester the staff for one, you will eventually be blacklisted.

Q: Can I buy them stuff, like toys and pets?
A: Yes, in fact, IT IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. Your child will like you more, and it will stimulate their growth.

Q: OOH, I'll get a plushie for them to play with that looks just like them!
A: I wouldn't suggest it. It might encourage your child to become rather conceited.

Q: I'll get someone I hate so I can torture them! twisted
A: NO!! If I find you doing stuff to your child that is in any way like that, your child will be confiscated and you will be blacklisted.

Q: How do I get one?
A: There will be an announcement in the first post whether or not there are any children available. Normally there will be a 24 to 48-hour essay contest for the children, where you will have to answer a short prompt, then the winner pays the fee, 8k. For a special "twin children" auction, bidders must also write a sample journal entry along with their bids for them to be valid, and the starting bid is 9k or 10k, it depends.

Q: Can I co-own with a friend?
A: I'd rather you not, but if you think it is absolutely nescessary, both owners need to post an entry in the auction/flatsale you want so I can see that they are both suitable guardians.

Q: Can I bribe you so you can slip me one when nobody else is looking?
A: No. We do not accept bribes, unless it's upward of 1 million gold. Then I'll consider.

Q: I paid my gold for my favorite character, and now I've got a wierd little symbol!? What is it?
A: Until your child reaches the newborn stage, their soul is being drawn to you by the pendant you have been given. Post in the diary thread, the URL of which I will send you via PM, to get it to change to a baby and so on.

Q: Hey, you have a breeding section! These guys BREED?!?
A: Once they get to adult form, yes, they can breed. There must be, however, a bond between the lovers more than just as friends. Not love undying, just a romantic bond. They mate for life, so choose carefully.

Q: I'll finally get to see my favorite yaoi couple together!
A: Sorry, but only if at least one partner is a homosexual in the show, manga or game they came from. Otherwise, it's banned.

Q: Do I have to put them in my sig?
A: Well, it is preferred, but you can try and put them in an image randomizer if you have limited space, or simply flaunt them on a website. Just remember to RP in your diary and so forth.

Q: How come your staff gets their favorite ones?!
A: It's part of how they are paid. If you don't like it, I'm afraid we couldn't care less. Any whining about it will eventually get you blacklisted.

Q: Do you do pet trades?
A: To a degree. If you want to trade a pet that isn't on my wishlist, you must subtract the amount that the pet sells for from the amount it takes to adopt. For example, if you have a pet worth 3k and are participating in a flatsale, that means you must trade the pet and the remaining 5k of the regular fee.

Q: I want a certain character, but there's no flatsale! I have the money, what do I do?
A: We can do customs for you, at the price of 15k, if the custom slots are open. This may sound ridiculous, but we don't want to be swamped with orders for customs before we plan to do a flatsale, it puts a good deal of stress on the artists.

Q: I have a kid already, and there's no flatsale, but can a good friend of mine adopt one?
A: Look above in customs. Submit an entry via PM, or if I know you well already just post your request. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Q: Can you draw my kid with <insert item name here>?
A: Sorry, but no. Unless you RP them constantly with a certain item, it won't show up in their picture.

Q: Hey, could I get an animal character, like Ein from Cowboy Bebop?
A: Yup. For their first few stages they'll be first fluffballs, then pups or kits or whatever they are, then they become anthros. O_o Yeah, I know, a bit odd.

Q: So, exactly how do I roleplay my child?
A: First of all, you post in the diary to record the more personal events. All general RP will be in this thread, until there is a clamor for an RP spot besides in here.

Q: I have a major problem outside Gaia and can't RP for more than a week! Don't take my baby away!
A: As long as you let us know that you're unavailable, we'll put your child's growth on hold until you can participate. If you do not notify me, I will assume you have abandoned your child and I will put it back up for adoption. So take note!

Q: Why is your FAQ so long?
A: I want to answer all possible questions before any problems arise.

Q: I hate you.
A: The feeling is mutual.

Q: I LOVE YOU!! MARRY ME!!
A: No, I think not.

Any other questions please feel free to post. Thank you.

Black List
The people who piss us off.

Callaralla- Constang PMing and nagging to Kinari (owner of Zephirae Angels) begging for an angel (35 pms in three days to be exact). Constant begging in thread, acting immaturely towards others and in general. Also attempting to claim another person's art as her own and giving them out as pets. Also linking to an animation and claiming it as her own when it is in fact another person's creation.

Ebba - For most obviously copying the adoptable anime characters idea without asking me for permission. I will not tolerate clone shops at all.

BDaichi - For PMing me about adopting a child in a flatsale, quoting the front page and an announcement unnecessarily, and irritating the other thread-goers with ill-typed posts and general stupidity. stare

White List
The people we think should be given cookies.

Rune Traverse - for donating to the Nitemare scarf quest and generally being a sweetheart.

Sirene Naiads - because she's shown us so much support, even before the shop opened!

Siyanna Twilight - for making all the pretty banners and certs. Luff her.

The Stages

After you have adopted a child, at first you'll have just a medallion in the shape of an object associated with your child's past life. There are several stages your child will go through as they grow up. These are some silhouettes of the basic forms:
User Image

Pendant: The quietest your child will probably ever be eek . It doesn't have any specific needs as of yet, but the more you talk to it, hold it, and pay attention to it, the stronger your bond with your child will become. At this point, it will almost be like you're really expecting a baby: you'll start having mood swings and cravings, from mystery novels to painting something to a bowl of insant ramen. Even at this point, the little one will show likes and dislikes of certain things... Be careful what you do to the pendant.

Baby: Ssssh, don't be too loud. Your baby just came to your home, arriving in a cradle-basket, and is very tired from traveling across time and space to get there. So they will sleep a good deal of this stage. They will need to be fed, cuddled, and occasionally you'll have to change their diaper, but they will mostly sleep. Their personalities start showing now. Any special abilities they have will begin to manifest, and you need to be on guard for 'accidents'.

Toddler: Out of the basket and into the world! Well, not quite. Your little one is much more active and will interact with you more, and they'll start to play with their toys and your other pets. They'll be starting to walk and say their first words, and they can start playing with one another now. Be forewarned, toddlers will attempt to get into anything and everything you leave unguarded, so be diligent and baby-proof your house.

Kid: At this stage, your child will start speaking in more intelligible sentences, become more responsible, and can move about without assistance. Their friendships will grow stronger, and they can even make some enemies eek . They'll be in more control of their abilities, and will start toying with them for fun.

Teen: Moody. Defiant. Depressed. Puberty is a nightmare, but at this time more than ever your child will need your emotional support. They'll start showing interest in the opposite gender, and can be allowed to date, but they aren't ready for a serious relationship yet.

Adult: After all your time and patient care, your child is no longer a child, and they have reached their full potential. Any and all personality and ability quirks will have manifested by now, and at this stage they can select a lover and breed. Choose wisely, since they can only pick one lover, then they are together forever.

???: Tales are told that when a child has embraced themselves for what they truly are, they will evolve into a god-like Spirit. This stage is mostly unknown, but is going to be optional.
