Still need to work out some kinks, but I think it's safe to open now <3
I still can't seem to get some of the pic links to work ><;;

Hmm, I'm actually deciding to cut this down to selling only Premades and maybe some customs. So I'll cut down useless posts eventually when I get more freetime.





We have a guild!
Just trek a bit north, and a few step to the east to reach paradise <3
Basically it's in the first post ._.;

7. I reserve right to change rules without notice. >.>;

Story

Legend tells of a mystical garden, one where flowers blossomed everywhere and trees were small copies of their giant kin. You may know them better as bonsai trees. At the time, the art of bonsai was practically unheard of and what’s more, this garden lay untouched by human hands. Time passed and humans finally came and how they wondered at this phenomenon. They saw it as a blessing and built a splendid temple around it.
But time goes on. The temple is now but a shadow of its former glory, hidden in a forest of steel and cement. Yet in this world of skyscrapers and cities, the garden has endured.

User Image


One fortuitous day, I overheard some people whisper that a certain old temple was haunted. Curious as I am, I immediately went to investigate. Finally coming upon the decadent place, I went to venture inside. Surprisingly, it was not as empty as I’d hoped, for a withered, old man popped out from behind a corner and gave me a heartfelt smile. His hands were gesturing for me to come closer. I couldn’t help but think ‘ghost?’ but returning the smile, decided to follow him. The man paced like a turtle down broken pathways, further and further to the temple’s center.
Suddenly, a colorful scene of flora met my eyes. It was practically winter and yet not a single hint of brown tainted the leaves. “Nice garden,” I whispered with delight.
“I’ll tell you a secret.” The old man replied, finally breaking his silence, a slight smile in his eyes.
“This garden is a sacred place, been around for ages. I have lived out my whole life here and noticed it stays green all year around and never needs tending.” He stooped down and carefully picked up one of the many potted plants, this one looking like a miniature oak, or was it a spruce. Pine? Never was much of a plant lover... The old man continues talking while I continue my inward guessing. Shrub perhaps?
“My ancestor’s believe it to be the work of fairies. Even I myself sometimes catch a glimpse of their magic.”
“I-is that so?” I say skeptically. ‘Poor man’s senile’ -.-;
The old man stretched out his arms, offering me the plant.
“Please, take it, I wish to share this earthly miracle. Before I go… ” He said shakily. -cough, hack, wheez-
He seemed serious, so I gratefully accepted his gift.

User Image


-WHOOSH- A small white light the size of a marble rushed before my very eyes. “W-was that a bug?!”
-WHIZ- it came again, bouncing back and forth between myself and the plant like a pinball at full speed, finally stopping upon my hand.
Then it bit me- hard. D:
Blinded by pain, my first instinct was to flail about like an idiot. I looked around for the old man for help, but he somehow disappeared, leaving me to my plight. Finally calming down, I stared at my miniature enemy with hate. I was about to just smack it and be done with it, but this was no bug, this was more like, like a— unicorn. O_O
Upon my hand was a bug eyed gremlin (what, it bit me, and it’s STILL biting me).
Well it had a small horn sprouting from its head but paws for its feet, and in place of a unicorn’s tail lay that of a doe’s. Pretty cute I must say, besides the fact it bit me. It could probably fit upon my forefinger I suppose.
Then, I flicked it. Not hard of course, just enough for it to stop. And you know what it did? It went all teary-eyed and retreated back into the plant. Great, now it feels like I’m the bad guy -_-
Taking the plant and the awful thing with it, I went in search of that old geezer. Sadly, I couldn’t find him anywhere, but I did find his note. It said he went off to the Bahamas. And that “The garden’s all yours, best of luck! P.S. you can’t leave without someone else taking your place, or you’ll be cursed~ ^.^v ”

User Image


I-I was tricked! That guy just wanted a replacement so he can escape this crummy place. D:<
Hmm, but he did say something about sharing this so called “miracle” -cue lightbulb-
And thus begins my new plant shop, Uni Bonsai!
So I’ll be sharing the rest of these plants, and their cute, but rotten occupants. I’m just not gonna do it for free…
What~ since I'm stuck here, I need money for take out. >.>;

Dun dun dun... ADVERTISEMENT ALERT!
Please future customer, won’t you buy a bonsai? 5k a tree! Be one of the lucky few to own a piece of nature’s miracle! Each plant comes with their own mini uni, great for apartments and people who just plain suck at plant care. Let the bonsai uni do the gardening for you!
2% of all profit will go into rebuilding the temple. Can you say, tax deduction? -nudgenudgewinkwink-


DISCLAIMER: This shop is not responsible for any bites or other injuries said buyer may receive after purchase. Buying from this shop will not guarantee tax deductions in virtual or real life and there will be absolutely no refunds. Have a nice day.

User Image

Singular: Uni
Plural: Unii; A tag of unii

Unii are generally bad-tempered and stubborn. Though not entirely impossible to gain their trust if trained at a young age. Their aggressiveness comes from being overprotective of their tree home. A uni's tree is their source of food and shelter. In exchange the uni will tend to the tree's needs such as trimming, gathering water (they have a knack to call on rain and other elements, how they do so remains unknown), churning the soil so it does not harden, and of course guarding it from aphids and other bugs that tend to harm the tree.
Unis are hardy eaters, therefore usually only one uni will occupy a single tree to make sure the uni will have plenty to sustain it. Their main food source are the tree leaves. Some may also eat the bark or sap. Like flowers, they have no gender and procreate by some sort of pollination. This is the only time that a uni will allow another to enter its tree. A single seed is produced from each parent. Both offspring is then tossed away from the parent tree so that they too can take root. After the seeds germinate and grow into a small sapling, they will produce a strange looking bud. When the bud blossoms, the form of a young uni will be revealed.

Other than breedings, these will be 3-stage pets.
Tree > young uni > adult uni
The seed stage is only shown for breedings. Most plants to be sold here will have already germinated into full-grown bonsais. The blossom stage will also be skipped because they are embedded deep within the tree so a person may only spot the young uni once it is born and stirring about the edge of the leaves.
Tree: Nothing too spectacular. Though the coloring of the tree hints at what the uni may look like. Like flamingos, the color of their food dictates the color of their fur.
Kit: Personalities vary, but are usually quite shy at first meeting. They communicate with gestures and some may already be able to have telepathic communication with their owner (though only images, they have yet to master words). They are about the size of one digit of your finger.
Adult: Fully grown at about half the size of your pointer finger. Their personalities are more settled and more often than not, the uni has become a bit more territorial when you come near its tree. ^^;
They can now communicate telepathically perfectly, though they'd still prefer to use images now and then. They find it more efficient than spewing a hundred words when a single picture would suffice.
*cough* Oh and, of course, unii can communicate to each other perfectly. (Although using gestures, even young can easily translate their meaning)
So yea, if it helps the rper, you can just use words if your uni is talking to other unii.

Depending on the kind of tree, different species of uni have evolved.
- Unii -

User Image


User Image

Species 1: The Caere Samples: X X X
One of the most common breeds and also one of the strongest. The horn is longer to help protect what few vegatation there is. Their legs are quite muscular to allow them to jump from branch to branch with ease.
User Image

Species 2: The Ertiba Samples: X X X
This common breed is smaller and slimmer than species 1. Its horn has also shrunk a bit. This is because their tree is abundant with leaves, they rarely have to walk very far to reach their food. Because of this, they are also more placid and laid back.
User Image

Species 3: The Nitorendi
One of the stranger species and a bit uncommon. Species 3 is marked by its spiraling horn that it uses to twist around the vine-y foilage which help keep it in place while its long tail works like a tongue and gathers large bundles of leaves at a time. Their paws have also shrunk because of the lack of need for them.
User Image

Species 4: The Elifica
Quite rare. A very finicky breed and one of the few to have wings. They will buzz around their shrub like home, trimming away to perfection. Since they have the power of flight, they prefer to fly to safety than fight, thus resulting in their horn degenerating into a short nub-like jewel. They are also one of the largest species. Their young already being the size of an adult common, their adult size stretching the entire length of one's finger. Because of how fragile their home is, unlike the common species, it will allow absolutely no one near its home, even for breeding, for the slightest extra weight may topple it.
This species does not breed and will only be sold at special auctions or on the rare chance through customs.
User Image

Species 5: The Elicus
Like species 4, it is quite rare and even twice as territorial. Their tree is practically dying from being put into such a small pot. So this particular species has evolved to have wings and grow to thrice the size of a regular uni (though its mostly just fur). Their menacing false size and their incredibly long horn assure that all other uni know well enough to keep away.
This species does not breed and will only be sold at special auctions or on the rare chance through customs.
User Image

Species 6: The Copakin
These are very special unii and quite hard to manifest. A tree is chosen and specially prepared so that a soul can be replicated. Usually an item considered important to the spector is placed next to the tree, when the ghost is lured in close enough, it's essence is copied. From there the uni born from it will hold a resemblance to the spirit's.

User Image

Enlightened Ones
Legend tells that aged unii, along with proper care, have been noted to grow to a 4th stage. In this stage their eyes become inverted into a blazing white and they grow to a humongous size! The size of the palm of your hand -nod nod- amazing right?
What, you don't think so? D:
Come on it's like comparing a marble to a tennis ball.

But it's a legend for a reason, meaning pretty much impossible...
So why have this posted anyway you might ask? Well it's because I haven't finished the lineart for them yet ^^; Maybe one day...

User Image


Unii aren't the only residents of the garden. At night, the stone guardians awaken. These guardians morph in the darkness from stone to living flesh.

Guardians are quite uncommon, for even a single one is enough to propel evil. Guardians are also quite good-natured. Their kind eyes can see through a person's heart. If they deem it worthy, they extend their friendship and protection to the person. But, if they sense evil intent, they will not hesitate to attack you. For hidden behind their kind smile lies many sharp teeth. (makes you wonder how that old guy and me are still around >.>).

Singular: Guardian
Plural: Guardians; A post of guardians

User Image

They come in 3 stages.
Horn > ward > guardian Samples: X X X
Horn: Guardians are gifts from the moon. For each horn comes a charm that dictates the color of their hide.
Ward: The horn has miraculously changed into that of a small guardian. Even now, the little one is instilled with an urge to protect and defend. However they are still young and small that they're the ones who need protecting. ^^;
Guardian: It is now a full fledged guardian. They are about the size of an adult saint bernard or other large dog. They have perfected their guardian skills and silently plod around the garden.

Item Shoppe - OPEN
-CURRENT POWDERS ARE FOR CAERE AND ERTIBA ONLY-
(I haven't finished doing items for nitorendi yet)

To buy an item, post your order in the thread, in bold and then send the trade to prprofs with correct amount.
For trade title, put Uni Shop and the page # of your order. "Uni Shop page4"

Only after a trade is sent, will item(s) will then be shipped. Most powders will not take affect until the next stage. If a premade, the new image will be PMed

*cough* prices and availability are subject to change...
If an item has run out, I usually won't restock it till next flatsale ._.;

User Image

Welcome to the Item Shoppe. Because of their small size, unii will not be having pet items.
Instead, special powders will be for sale that may affect the uni's appearance or state.

NOTE:

- Once an item is used, it can't be undone, so choose wisely. ._.;;;
- Flaffle and Raffle Unii: can have as many items used on them between stages. Once they reach adult stage, they can still use items, but must be done in 1 week.
- Premades: can have their first item used on them at any time. Afterwards any secondary items must be used in 1 week.
- Sorry, but Auction, Custom, and Special pets are immune to powder items

Reason for the 1 week thing: I eventually delete old unii from the files, having to recreate them is well...kinda hard. ._.;

Premades, Customs, and Breedings

For Premades, Customs, and Breedings, trades must be sent to prprofs before they will be started.
Prices are subject to change. So please don't complain if like a month after you asked for a custom the price went down, or for others, complain the price went up. >.>;
I also reserve the right to refuse any order. Don't take it personally, it's most likely due to the custom clashing with future events, or I'm busy with work/school.

User Image

Premade adults are -always- available for 1k each for species (1-2). So even if customs are closed, premades will always be open!
Just title trade with the color, species, and what to name it. "Black Caere, name is Chopi"
If you wish to buy one for another person, just add in who it's for. "Black Caere, name Chopi, for prprofs." If you don't put a person in there, I'll just assume it's for you ^-^

Available Colors: Blue, orange, yellow, pink, dark blue, purple, red, gray, black, white
Caere
User Image
Ertiba
User Image

Please note that premades are treated the same way as unii bought from flats, auctions, etc. They can breed (even with non-premades) and use items as well.
Though it's not recommended for 2 premades to breed unless they have used items, otherwise the offspring will probably have few, if any markings.

User Image

Custom Prices
Gold is preferred, but Donation Items are accepted at lowest market price. And Common items at sellback price. Halloween labcoats also accepted.

-Might do lineart edits, but price will raise according to difficulty. Go ahead and tell me what you want edited, and I'll give you a price estimate.
-NOTE: If it's a custom of an animal (cheetah, panda, any other natural animal), the price is doubled.


Looking for more examples?
Check out the ownerlist is the original thread by clicking the link in my siggy.

Breeding

Like flowers, they have no gender and procreate by some sort of pollination. This is the only time that a uni will allow another to enter its tree. A single seed is produced from each parent. Both offspring is then tossed away from the parent tree so that they too can take root. After the seeds germinate and grow into a small sapling, they will produce a strange looking bud. When the bud blossoms, the form of a young uni will be revealed.
Unii can only breed twice in their lifetime, so choose your mates wisely <3

1. Both unii must be adults.
2. Cannot be rare species 4 and above. Species (1-3) can interbreed, the type of species produced will be dependant on the parent. So a Caere/Ertiba pair will produce 1 Caere and 1 Ertiba. The markings will be a mix of both parents though.
>> NOTE: I also don't care if the parents are both owned by you.
3. Cost of breeding is 12k, can be split anyway between owners.
>> Please send the total in one trade to prprofs with title like (Uni Breeding: yourname & otherowner's name)
4. A pair of unii will always produce 2 offspring, one from each parent. The offspring cannot be sold off in any way! They can be kept by the owners or given away. Course you have to tell me so I can change the owner.
5. Can be co-owned or one for each owner, also tell me so, so I can change owner. Also remember to tell me what to name the offspring.

Breeding Slots
1. OPEN!
2. closed

Please PM me the form only when a slot is open! Title PM "Unii Breeding"
No I will not PM you back when a slot does open, just keep checking ^^

Pet Trades
Generally closed, but I'd definitely take one from the list below. <3
Still feel free to send an offer tho (please include a sample), but there's a high chance I'll reject it due to lack of freetime ^^;
I hope to do even trades, like 1 adult Custom for 1 adult Custom.
Trading cosplays will be rare, unless it's from the listed shops. Erm, but even then might still reject if I was too busy with RL -.-;

[ Dislikes ]
- RP/Journal required pets, having to visit thread, etc. Anything like that, that risks a pet being taken away.
I just never have the time. If it is, please make an exception for me <3;
- White specks of doom. It's my biggest pet-peeve. It's even worse than having jpg noise. D:

[ Likes ]
- Tigers, tiger stripes, foxes, gryphons, snow/cloud leopards, cheetahs
- Unique,"dark", or otherwise very well-drawn/certed pets
- Cosplays of Enma Ai (Jigoku Shoujo)
