Coco * Island
Aloha! Welcome to coco-island, kick off your shoes and feel the sand through your toes. Because here relaxation is key... The sun is shining, the sea is crystal clear and the pina coladas are icy cool! So grab a coconut cup and pour yourself a fruity cocktail and relax...

So what's available here? well the island of coco is a very special place you see, it doesn't have many inhabitants.. and isn't much of a touristy area as not many people are privileged enough to know of the beauty it holds. Palm trees drape all down the coast, and the sky is always blue. The few inhabitants it does have are a special race of "humans" who's origins can be traced back thousands of years. These people inhabit the coconuts that line the coast, their spirits exist inside these coconuts feeding from the tree until one day when the coconut falls from the tree the coco-islander springs from inside its case and a human is born.

They love companionship, and are extremely loyal. So this is why your here eh? did you see the few posters ive posted just off this island? well never mind, id love to make sure that when you leave you have a coco-islander as a companion ^^ so stick around, maybe you'll see a birth and one just might attach to you.

User Imageong long ago when the breeze flowed by itself, and the creation of earth was made not long before, there was a row of tiny islands that lay in a straight way out in the ocean beyond the connected countries of pangea. The islands lay one by one in a curving line, each one of these islands was filled with so many coconut trees and palm trees it smothered itself in them. White sand along the waterfront, a plenty supply of fish, and big luscious fruits growing on well green plants. Bamboo and thicket, an all in one beautiful island. a beautiful empty island.

You see, when the god's made the earth, it was all connected but those tiny islands far away from the main land, These were called the coco islands because of the amount of coconut tree population on them. Coconuts became the drink of the gods and the white substance inside tasted like no other thing in existence. But they could also be used for many things and could be made and carved for use if needed. They were the all used food.

At this time only animals lived on the world, and the gods grew tired of just watching them devour plants and each other. The gods thought it would be entertaining to create a new race to rule over and watch like pawns on a chess board. So they gathered together and reined down on the earth with their power and created a more intelligent spices so they thought on the main land forgetting all about the Coco islands seeing as they were so far away. <img src="http://tinypic.com/1zu1c2" align=left></img>

The gods watched their people below on mother earth, the people did the same as the animals; Reproduced, ate, fought, and grew. They were just like dirty animals, and the gods grew tired once again and most wanted to extinguish the race below. Except one god named Euphura, who argued against it, and was opposed to the game she realized they play with their own people, right under her nose. Euphura was a peaceful loving god, who didn't care much for watching them and cheering when they kill their own below. She was one of the most beautiful gods who ever lived, wearing a round pendent of power, with her hair as long and eyes like icy blue crystals. The gods grew angry at her for sticking up for the "lower beings" and said she was growing weak. So they sent her to the lonely islands of Coco.

Euphura lived alone on the islands but was still happy, she no longer had to watch them abuse their people, and tried not to think of it. She grew very lonely though after a year of being there, and cried for 3 straight days above a small cliff on the island, and it created a small watering hole below of crystal clear pure water. When the gods run out of power, the god begins to fade showing the end of their meaning. Little did she know her crying drained her of most of the power into the water below she began to fade.

She no longer wanted to live in solitary anymore, and ran down the cliff below and took a hand cupful of water and drank it down, regaining some of her power. She walked across the water on her tip toes and stood in the middle with her head to the sky and eyes closed. she thrust her hands into the air and cast what power she had into the island, making the most plentiful supply on the island turn into a magical species different from all the other. Casting a spell onto the coconuts which made them turn into the race she'd always hoped for. A race like her, a loving and peaceful race of people. with different features from the rest. She quickly got out of the water and gathered two coconuts throwing them from the cliff into the water, where a blue blinding light shot up from the body of water below. Creating a male and female natural children of the earth. She fell to the ground and then new children came to her. Euphura cupped their hands in hers, and told them what to do, by throwing the coconuts in the body of magic water beneath the cliff, it creates a magical bond and makes them spring to life. She told them they were the beginning of the new loving and caring race, a negotiating race, a peaceful race, who will treat the world with care. She told them that the coconuts should crack on the ground when ready to come to life through the magical water. she told them never to drink the water, or they'd become like the angry gods above, for even she had traits of them.

Then she smiled at them, and lay her head to the ground where she faded away, and all that lay there, was her rounded pendent atop the edge of the cliff. There stood the boy and the girl looking down from the cliff, awaiting to create a new generation of peace, abiding their masters rules and wishes....

<center>Stage * 1</center><img src = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/cocoisland/Thumbnails/01.jpg" align=left></img>Your coco-islander's spirit has yet to of entered the coconut! You are assigned a certain palm tree and you must make sure it is nourished and watered in order for the coconut on it to grow. During this stage nothing really much happens, your tree grows and some people have told me that they sometimes see it swaying in the breeze differently to the others, this could be a sign that the coconuts upon it have had an islanders spirit take refuge inside! so watch and see what happens




<center>Stage * 2</center><img src = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/cocoisland/Thumbnails/02.jpg" align=right></img>The coconut has fallen from the tree and now is inhabited by the coco-islanders spirit. This time is crucial as in order to be reborn the coconut must be kept unopened until it is time. So please make sure you dont mistake this coconut for an edible one! we dont want you cracking open the coconut to find that it contained the spirit of your coco-islander! because if it opens before the islander is ready to come out then the spirit will be lost into the atmosphere!




<center>Stage * 3</center><img src = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/cocoisland/Thumbnails/03.jpg" align=left></img>Your coco islander is now ready to be created! The coconut signals that it is ready to open and starts to crack, it is now that it must be thrown into the crystal clear sea in order to receive the blessing from euphurua it needs to burst up out of the coconut and form its humanoid appearence, you must take it up to the top of the cliff and toss it down into the ocean below, where then the sacred waters will bless the coconut and out will spring your islander





<center>Stage * 4 </center><img src = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/cocoisland/Thumbnails/05_fem.jpg" align=right></img> <img src = "http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/cocoisland/Thumbnails/05_mal.jpg" align=left></img>Your coco-islander has now emerged from the coconut and is ready to explore the world, make friends, possibly fall in love. Make sure you care for it as a test will come in order for the islander to be assigned to its tribe, which tribe it is accepted into will determine any special features, and personalities.

[ Coming soon.. ]
<center>User Image</center>

There will be a few ways in which you can obtain a coco-islander, keep your eyes onto this spot as when there are some pets available it will be posted up here. The ways in which you can buy a pet are;

Flatsale - These will be the most regular ways to get a pet. They will take place in two ways, in order to make it fair for everyone.

First come first served - this will be a speed based sale, after i post GO you will have to post which pet you want and the first people to do so will recieve it.

Literature based - Occasionaly to make it fair for people with slower connections ill hold a literature based flatsale, where you have a set amount of time to respond to a prompt i post. You could have to write a poem, a short story, or even roleplay.

<center>Flatsale price: 3k</center>

Auction - These will more than likely be for a special kind of pet, i will give notice ahead of time and post up a preview. You will then have a certain amount of time to bid on the pet in order to win. Usually around 2-3 days. There may or may not be an autobuy.

<center>Auction start price: 3k </center>

Raffle/special event - These will probably be very rare, i may decide to hold a raffle where tickets can be purchased for a small amount of gold, there will be unlimited tickets available and the winner will be chosen by randomnizer.org. Or i may decided to have a special event to mark a holiday ie. christmas where free pets may be up for grabs

<center>Raffle ticket price: 10g</center>

Flatsale - Monday 14th March @ 3pm GMT

How do i get one?
Coco-islanders are available through flatsale, auction, raffle or special event. Check the "get me" post regulararly for announcements.

How much do they cost?
Flatsale prices are 3k each, and auctions the bidding starts at 3k, i hope these are reasonable, but i have to divide this up between colourists and myself.

OnG CaN 1 LyK GeT 1//!?/1/?!?
No... stare you scare me. Please try to at least type with some literacy here, i dont mind the occasional spelling mistake, but non of this "l337" speak please.

How many can i own?
As many as you want really, however during flatsales i prefer to give people who dont allready own a pet a chance ^^ if there are any left afterwords your welcome to try heart

Are these roleplayable?
Yes! of course you may roleplay here in the thread, or anywhere else in gaia, however it isnt mandatory.. i just thought it would be more interesting if you roleplayed with your pet. Who knows you may get extra perks ninja

WAH! the price is too much @.@
Well, i try to make sure the price is as low as possible.. i do have a colourist to pay and i want to give her a decent amount ^^ however if you still feel they are too expensive i suppose we can sort something out..

Do you do pet trades?
Yeah, of course i do! If anyone would like to trade a pet with me then just give me a pm or something and we'll sort it out 4laugh

March 1st '05 - Set up original thread, but forgot to post using mule n_n so this thread was born!
March 2nd '05 - Spent all day setting things up, re-organising the thread and typing up info to go with the banners ^^
March 3rd '05 - Finished nearly all of the first page, just a bit more reorganizing then it'll be done!
From March 5th till the 12th i will be in tunisia on holiday. Renari has offerend to host the first flatsale so keep your eyes peeled for announcments on the chosen date.
March 14th '05 - Im back from tunisia! and im gonna start the flatsale again seeing as there wasnt much interest the first time round n_n thank you to renari for setting it all up while i was away though! heart
March 19th '05 - I am so sorry for not being around so much.. ive had so much to do these past few days and ive been banned from the computer for being "cheeky" while i was on holiday cry ill try to get on as much as possible.. but in the mean time please dont loose interest! i really want this shop to go well sad
March 30th '05 - Once again, i appologize for the huge amount of time i havent spent around here, ive just been to Paris with my a-level class, and with me being banned from the computer until my grades are better i havent had a minute to spare, i seriously ope people are still interested in this... but i am going to spend more time around here i promise!

In other news, ive still got pets to cert up for the winners of the flatsale, just to remind everyone i havent forgotten you! its just that with the new thread being created, and all the errors in posts on gaia at the minute ive lost the list of names i was given, so please if your still waiting give me a slap and tell me the name again!


April 3rd '05 - Updates to all the current pets coming soon! the next stage's should be appearing within 1-2 days, so keep an eye out. Also ive decided im gonna be around here more often, i feel i need to pay it alot more attention i want it to go well.. i put effort into making this and setting it all up so i think it deserves a bit more recognition, especially from me. So expect to see great things coming along!

April 8th '05 - Im currently in the stages of bringing new things into the thread such as roleplay settings, and item shop and mini-pets! So keep an eye out for that! I aim to make sure this shop is up and running properly in a few weeks, and possibly another flatsale or event could be happening soon!


May 11th '05 - Right.. seeing as there hasnt been much interest around here lately i think i may decide to shut down. Im not fully decided yet, i think im going to change everything round here drasticaly in order to try and get some more interest. I may even start to do custom lineart.. seeing as most of the successful breedables are like that. Just stick around (if there is even anyone that comes in here anymore) and you may see this shop getting back up again, but for now its on temporary hiatus. Thank you <3
