Welcome to Gaia! ::

you guys are blowing up my mind, homg

rofl

-ponders- Thinking more about the gods.... a con could be that if you had to decide which god you were under when you got the pet could be difficult. Some times its hard enough to pick a personality, none the less a name.

So maybe you could wait a few weeks or so to know how you rp your pet to decide a god? And for those who don't serve a god, just don't get any boosts if serving gods does give you any specific boosts -shrugs-. Or maybe once a month, have a specific day where your pet makes an offering to the god they want to serve? That would give us a little way of rping our pets and showing they are dedicated to that god after making a choice<3. And owners proving that we have thought about it and are ready to make an educated, long-lasting decision lol.


Like if we ended up having a battle system, maybe the 'war' god didnt give you a boost in possible baby numbers, but gave you a little extra Umph to a few of your attacks?

And a love god would obviously give you like a 10% chance *random number* to get an extra baby from a breeding, but would also give you lesser chances of hitting in the battle system?

I dunnoooooo...... just random thoughts before work >3>;;.

When I was thinking about the setting and all, I came to a realization. 83 The reason I really didn't like the aquatic breeds in other shops is because it limited their interactions with the majority of pets. WELL, I thought about it, and we're not limited "realistic" levels of terrain, as this is a "fantasy" land, correct?

What I was hoping to suggest that we some how make possible to ease the interactions between regs and aquatics? Maybe the aquatics have the ability to carry a surrounding of water them, and breach the land? o _o; /unsure

I also thought about "water" such as the lakes, rivers, oceans almost defying gravity? In my head, I see it being similar to moutains that are above land levels, and possible the regs and all have the ability to walk into the water and breathe?

xDDDDDD I don't know, I'm lamely brainstorming. Someone help my floundering???

I just want to be able to enjoy the aquatics more, and see their gorgeous art more popular with the masses of gaian shop goers. c8 emotion_bigheart

Actually, orbs would also explain the reasoning behind not having a prego stage nwn. I know in the ls people were saying that it was bothersome for colorists.

So if they were orbs/spirit orbs, then they wouldn't really be 'birthd'? And wouldn't call for a mare to be pregnant? -tries to think on it more-

I totally love your creativity and the idea is really awesome

However ....I've got to say I wouldn't want that to be a locked down "thing" and you haaaave to do that. I want the freedom of a mythical/mystical/fantasy world <3 *pirates her way to hang out with some techno loving mountain dwarves...cause that's how she rolls* lol lurb you guys!

Ooooo that is so fantabulous *u*.

I think it is the 'floating' part of the orb I don't really care for. But something like that I would be pleased to call my own<3.

And it gives numerous of ways to show little nuonces *sp?* a baby might have<3

the thing i dont like with something like an idol is that it might give away to much, and takes away from the surprise of getting the foal.
fertility idols are usually shaped like a person and parts of the body that are reproductive are enhanced (large hips/belly/breasts)

i doodled this up kuz i thought it would be cute and it is. but it isnt as customizable as the orb possibility, that could be adorned with all sorts of things to hint at eyes/hair color

(pushes orbs at people)



@ roman I just have a hard time imagining the aquatics on land for any lengthy amount of time, i would imagine they could spend a little bit of time on land but wouldnt be able to get very far dragging their tails about. and would probably need to be close and return to water in case they dry up or something :/

Given that all the aquatic lifeforms we have do have hooves, I don't see why interaction would be a problem. At the very least, they could meet up and interact on the beach shores -- since the aquatics could, theoretically, drag themselves up to shore, and then drag themselves back out to sea.

Magical land or not, I think there will always be some limitations on aquatic breeds versus air/landlocked breeds. It wouldn't make sense to find a mer-type hanging out in a woodland. But they don't always have to be limited to the ocean -- some could be freshwater and live in ponds or tributaries or rivers and whatnot.

Limitations aren't a bad thing, though, and with a little creativity or imagination, even having some borders between land and sea life, I think we can make it work. Sometimes having that limitation can be good, or create interesting conflict/tension in RP.

Given it's a magical world, it's possible we can get around this but I think people, going in, understand that there might be some limitations. If we have a strong set of aquatics, though, or water based characters, perhaps they won't feel so limited?

I dunno, just my two bits. I will continue to ponder ways to make the water breeds as loved as the land breeds.
