Kousie Guild


"Hello there" A voice calls to you upon walking into this dimly lit laboratory. You look around to find a perky cat girl in a nurse outfit, the average size of any human adult. In fact the only thing separating this girl from any other person, are her ears and tail. "Welcome to the Kousieyouso labs! My name is Daishin" She says with a cute smile. "This is the birthplace of many creatures called Kousieyouso, all of which are much like me." She says as she guides you deeper into the labs. "Follow me, and you will learn more about the Kousieyouso and how you could possibly become the lucky guardian of one like me!"

So there I was... At my workstation with my lab partner in chemistry class. We were working on something or other having to do with animal DNA, I wasn't really paying too much attention, I was kind of falling asleep. sweatdrop Anywho, my lab partner had been paying more attention than me so she was guiding me through the lab experiment. We were working with the DNA strand of a cat, when my lab partner accidentally cut herself on one of the instruments she was working with, and bled onto our sample of cat DNA. The two DNA strands and the chemicals began to mix right before our eyes until there was a big poof of smoke, and a naked teen cat girl sitting in front of us.

After I had taken control of my nosebleed I had acquired upon this sight, I offered to care for this new creature. Upon further observation I learned that she had strong elemental properties, being able to control and manipulate light. It seems that the combining of the DNA along with the various chemicals we were using in our lab experiment also mended these elemental properties to her DNA code as well. So these almost magical powers that she possessed were actually part of her genetic structure. So there I had my first elemental furry, as I have come to call a Kousieyouso or Kousie for short.

I began to think about how everyone should be as lucky as me to have a pet like her, and that's when I realized they could. A pet that is more than just a pet but, a friend too. A pet that is more human, that will interact with you the same as any other person would. And that, boys and girls, is when I began putting together my lab, and combining human DNA with that of other creatures to create the perfect pet for all Gaians. All this because of an accident during a chemistry lab, to think I used to hate that class! xd

Kousieyouso's (generally called Kousie's) are elemental furries. No two pets are ever exactly alike.

A general rule is that this is a VERY role playing focused pet shop. Role playing is essential for your pet to develop. If you do not role play, your pet will not grow. Even if you received your pet before a newer owner, if they RP more than you, your pets growth will be later on than that persons. There is also the chance of losing your Kousie if you do not role play him or her.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RP just PM Helloween06787. He is willing to do commissioned artwork that will not have the Kousie name, but will be his art. (Of course, it is commissioned.) However, his schedule is usually very busy so you need to talk to him and see if he can schedule you in.

Combinations of animal and element (earth, air, fire, water, etc) suggestions will be considered, but not always done. Any other suggestions: such as themes for auction/flatsale/etc. will also be considered.

Every Kousie must be role played. This shop uses a more formal role playing. Mainly, make it legible. Try to use sentence form instead of the asterisks. (Make it like an essay. Speaking should be in quotes, actions in full sentences.

All official RPing will be done in the shop's guild. Any extra RPing may be done in the thread or in other areas and will be counted towards your RPing, but please, we got the guild to use for role playing.

Most of the time, Kousie's will start in the first stage so they have time to fully develop. There will be some special auctions where they will be sold in different stages.

Baby
Baby Kousie's look just like a normal human baby, except with large paws, animal like ears, tail, ect. They need care like any other human child would. They may start learning small words and phrases in this stage, but not too much conversing will happen while they are babies. As they get closer to being a child, they will begin to walk etc. This age is from 1 - 4 or 5.
User Image

Child
As children, Kousie's can talk as an average child would. They still have the animal feet, tail, ears, and some special characteristics. As they get closer towards being a teen, they will use a more advanced language and have more complex thoughts and feelings. This age range is 6 - 12.
User Image

Teen
Even more human looking, with just elements such as ears, a tail, etc. They now have the possibility to explore relationships such as love with other Kousies (or owners). Don't forget that teenagers can be very hormonal and have strange feelings. This age is from 13-17.
User Image

Adult
Very much like the teen stage as far as looks, however, now they are able to breed! Most adults are from 18 - mid 20s.
User Image

And possibly a 5th stage, though no pet has made it this far yet...I guess we will see. wink

1 PLEASE DO NOT STEAL KOUSIE ARTWORK!!! It is a very crappy thing to do. Along with that simple fact, when we discover that you have stolen the artwork (think in terms of plagiarism no editing and claiming it as your own) you will be blacklisted and reported to a Mod. We will PM as many shop owners as possible to warn them of your horrible ways. Helloween works very hard on each and every pet that he creates and to steal his art is unforgivable.

2 DO NOT COMPLAIN ABUT THE PET YOU GET!!! Helloween works his a** off on every single pet and it is just rude to complain about his work. If he gives it to you, consider it perfect. Enough complaints and your pet will be taken from you and given to someone who will appreciate the beautiful art. If there is anything that you really don't like, deal with it.

3 ROLE PLAY YOUR PETS!!! RP means role play. Any owner is obligated to spend time rping their pet.

4 Please host your own pets. Because of the (new) stupid bandwidth rules on photo bucket, I'm afraid that I must ask everyone to keep the pictures on their own server. They'll be deleted from mine after 24 hours (once you have received it). You'll be PM'd once your Kousieyouso grows. Sorry for the inconvenience.

5 BE RESPECTFUL TO EVERYONE. If you have a problem with someone in this thread, no one wants to hear it. Keep it to yourself. Since everyone is RPing in the main thread, it will ruin the experience for everyone else if you flame.

6 DO NOT QUOTE 1,000,000 times. Honestly, leave it to one or two quoted people. If what you're quoting has quotes in it, delete them and people can refer back to the previous quote.

7 DO NOT PESTER FOR A PET OR GROWTH. These pets will be somewhat rare, and will grow when I feel they have been in their current stage long enough, and when I have time to take out of my real life activities to draw for the shop.

8 Kousei's NEED to be RP'd at least once a week. By RP, I don't mean " Kousieyouso X slips in the door. "Hello!" He then walks out." Unless there are extenuating circumstances (PM Helloween ASAP), if your Kousie is not RP?d in one month it will be re-auctioned (you will be warned before it is auctioned).

9 If you do not abide by the rules, the Kousie shop reserves the right to take your pet away from you without a refund of any kind.
10 If you will not be able to role play (going on vacation, school exams, too much going on, etc.) you MUST PM either Helloween06787 or Sarrari. If you post it, there is no guarantee that we will see it.

Rules for Auctions

1 Auctions will be on separate pages. The link will be in the News section. If it says that there is an auction, don't ask for a link, it's there already.

2 Do not ask when the next auction will be. There is no specific time gaps between auctions. Whenever Helloween can take time out of his life to do this beautiful artwork is when there will be an action (or a growth). Helloween has a life outside Gaia and will work on everything when he gets to it.

3 The auctions will not simply be based around the amount of gold. A prompt will be in the main thread of the auction and you need to role play, based on this prompt. You should use 100+ words. We will try to set up the prompt a few days before the actual auction starts. You must submit your prompt and get it approved by Helloween before you are able to bid. After that, bid your hearts out until the end of the auction.

4 Auctions will start at 10k. The only items accepted are donation items.


Rules for Journals

1 Stay in character!!! Once you design your character's personality to be one way, it will not change unless something DRASTIC happens.

2 Journals are optional, but if we go through the effort to set one up, USE IT!

3 Customize your journal to be your Kousieyouso's own little world. Everything in the journal revolves around YOUR KOUSIE!

Kousie's are usually sold every six weeks. This gives time for the necessary growths to be done and time for the new owners to build their characters.

There is typically three ways to get these pets:

The first way is auctions. This is also the most common sale. The starting price is 10k and there usually is no autobuy. Currently, the record for highest sale price is a bit over 600k. This is the only sale that is based solely on gold/items. As far as items accepted, we usually accept donation items at mid lucky devil prices, store items at sellback value, and certain rares.

The second way is flatsales. These are not the typical "I say GO and the fastest one wins" flatsales. The cost is 15k and the only way to win is to submit the best entry to a RP prompt. The best one/s win/s.

The last and rarest way is a simple and free contest. This is typically only when we need to auction off an abandoned pet, ( crying Poor pets!) or for a special occation. This is also a RP contest and, as with the flatsale, the best one/s win/s.

Custom Kousei's are extremely rare. An auction will be set up specifically for a custom pet. Typically, it's every fourth auction. WIth every auction being six weeks...well, they're rare. With the winning of this auction, the owner will be able to customize their pet entirely.

This means that you choose:

Name
Age (Baby, Child, Teen or Adult)
Gender (male or female)
Element (discuss this with Helloween)
Animal (real, mythical, or a different concept)
Skin color
Hair color
Hair length
Eye color
Eye shape
Body Type
Tattoos, markings, etc
Accessories and clothing (only in child, teen, adult stages)
Any other concept or idea, simply ask.

The only way to have children is by occupying a breeding spot. These are areas that rarely open up. Kousies have a large combination of ways they can breed. Kousies can breed with a Kousie of the opposite sex or a Kousie of the same sex. They can also breed with an owner of either the opposite or same sex. When a breeding spot opens, either two adult Kousies or a Kousie and an owner may PM Helloween asking to be placed in the breeding spot. This means that, at some point in time, they will have a child. Typically, Kousie, like humans, can only have one child at a time. On an extremely rare occation, Kousies will have twins, or possibly triplets. After the babies are born, the parents can choose what to do with the babies (if it is a single, they can choose amongst themselves who gets the baby and if they would like to give it to a friend.)

Breeding spot 1: Occupied. (Alana and Ethan)
Breeding spot 2: Closed.
Breeding spot 3: Closed.

JOURNALS

Kousie journals are optional. If you would like to have a journal for your Kousie, PM me and I will set up a thread for you. DO NOT set up your own thread.

Old Owner
I had a Kouseiyouso at the old shop, will mine ever be updated?

Only the pets that were more heavily RPed are allowed to have growths in our new shop. The rules stated in the old shop that if you didn't RP for an extended time, you would lose your pet. So I'm sorry to say, if you were one of the people who didn't RP alot, you cannot continue your pet in the new shop, as you should have lost your pet due to the old shop's rules anyway.
Gender Observer
Why is there such an odd ratio of males to females?

As we have found, females are the most popular (as the ratio shows a lot more popular). Helloween not only enjoys drawing females more than males, he is better at females. Owners also tend to prefer females. There is no need to worry though. If you look at our post on breeding, we allow not only same sex breeding, but also pet-owner (any owner) breeding. If it bothers you that much, get a male and the ratio will be better!
